Theme: Coping with Aging Identity (Subjective Aging) (Part 2)

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

Age identity is a serious issue because how old a person feels reflects on his outlook concerning Life. It affects performance level and a person who feels older might have a rigid outlook to life.

Also what goes on internally tends to reflect outwardly. What I mean is when a person constantly feels older than he actually is, his mind begins to believe that he truly is older and his body begins to manifest such older traits. This is why you come across certain people and they look way older than they actually are.

When this change in age identity occurs, it is regarded as subjective aging. Subjective aging is a dynamic process that is influenced by a person's chronological (actual) age as well as their life conditions and experiences.

A change in age identity does not occur in isolation. It is actually subjective in nature. Which means there are factors responsible for it. These factors causes a person to age mentally than his actual chronological age.

We'll begin to discuss these factors one after the other and also show forth wisdom on how to cope with these factors. Like I said last time, the purpose of this series is to bring about healing.

The first factor or event that's responsible for subjective aging is "ROLE TRANSITION".

What is Role transition?
This is simply when an individual is required to play and function in a role he isn't actually supposed to perform.

In such cases more responsibilities is given to this individual and he finds himself trying to fit this new role that has been thrust on him.

Usually this occurs in a family where one loses a parent or parents. Older siblings are then required to make a transition into the role of a parent for the younger siblings. This always alter the age identity of such individual as he has to act maturedly in order to fit this new role.

Lets discuss more about it tomorrow...

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...
