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

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
