Theme: Coping with Aging Identity

Anchor Text: Psalms 90:12 New Living Translation
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

Permit me to share a personal story first.

Growing up I found myself always among those who were older than I was. Right from when I was in primary School, down to my secondary school days. Even in the seminary I found myself in the same situation and even till date I still work with those that are older.

My best friends and close associates have always been older than myself. Apparently this caused me to act more maturedly than my age due to those I surrounded myself with. Now this in itself can be a bit of a problem if not handled properly.

In most cases anyone in such situation has the tendency to be young in age but actually old at heart. This could lead to all sorts of depression, anxiety and pressure to meet up with a particular standard whereas one is not yet ready for such.

Age identity is a term in psychology that refers to how old a person actually feels regardless of his or her chronological age. This age identity is subjective in nature as it depends on the outcome of several events in a person's life.

Truth is one could feel older or younger than their real chronological age but feeling older has more negative effects. I believe strongly that this effect in our society is one of the major reasons for depression, anxiety, and unwholesome comparison with others today.

So as the Lord grants insights and wisdom, I'll be sharing how to cope with this phenomenon using both the Word of God and the wisdom of man which lines up with the word of God.

We'll deal with it gradually and I believe God will use this to bring healing to someone.

We'll continue tomorrow by God's Grace...

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
