#Glorious’26

*That ‘Relationship’ is seriously draining you on all fronts.*

You continue to block those questions that continually  pop up saying…

‘Why Am I the only one who feel Squeezed, Used and Dried up in this Relationship that we continue to sing  to the World as ‘Glorious’

#Otuosquotes

Does Your Relationship “Weigh” you Spiritually,Physically,Emotionally,Psychologically et al….??*

 The Glory of God is an All Rounder. It shines through every area of our lives.

Drawing from these two verses in 3 John 1 and 1Peter 4.11 

_That in all things we will prosper and do well…..in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever.

We learnt about the Weight of God’s Glory and how although heavy when it comes on us and in our situations, our burdens and yoke are ~made lighter~  lifted because a heavy price has been paid.

”Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matt.‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬, ‭30‬.

There is a Weight to every Relationship. There is a Price to pay for and on every Relationship we get into.

The Relationship if properly  grounded in Christ simply means we pay the price together, share the burdens  together, together we lift the loads that weigh us down so we will be free.

And so why does it look like a one-sided relationship?….Why  does it look like everything rest on your shoulders?…You’re carrying what you call a Relationship. Without you, there is none.

Why does the Relationship come ALIVE when that one party is in need…need your help, need your moral support, need your technical expertise, need your physical touch, need your  financial assistance but it all whittle away when it’s your turn??…

Are you drained… Are you weighed down physically and psychologically??

Again, why are you so  insecure about that  supposed ‘Glorious’ Relationship  you hold in high esteem?…. Why does a small trigger or flip  from his/her side  make you so emotionally unstable just upon the thought  of losing the person?

Lastly, Is the Relationship weighing you down Spiritually - Your prayer & devotional life?…. Is it  making you defile your body which is the temple of God, Sexual immorality  which you once frowned upon is becoming normal all because of keeping a ‘Certain Relationship’. And in all of these your  conscience and his Spirit within keeps pricking you so hard?….

Beloved, Every Glorious Relationship(_platonic, Intimate,professionals  and more_) which is Christ-centered should check how it weighs in all these areas with the crux of it all being Spiritual.

If above all things, that Relationship is weakening you SPIRITUALLY instead of making you, in fact  both of you better and richer in the Lord. Then,  that is your cork certainty.

Like a measuring scale, there is a ‘weight’ to every Relationship. What’s yours?…. Does it weigh on you Positively or Negatively?

Proverbs 11:1: "Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight".

Proverbs 16:11: "Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are His concern".

The question once more:Does Your Relationship “Weigh” you Spiritually,Physically,Emotionally,Psychologically et al….??

A question  only you can sincerely answer. These guides  or pointers based on his word are only signals to take the rightful decisions before the ties are finally bound.

For Now,  we say, it is from #GLORY or #GLORY…#Glorious’26

The Digest (Rom. 13:8)

 New International Version

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

Thinking about it:
How can I owe you Your Faith, Belief, Trust, Hope, Wealth, Confidence,Beauty…[Help me mention more….]

-Your Faith?…I don’t give it….He does.(Roman 12:3- …Each according to the measure of faith God gives..

-Your Belief?….I don’t determine that….He does…making one wonder because our setting can determine our beliefs.(John 16:33)

-Your Beauty/Looks?- Can I be very abrupt- “Menbɔ Nipa oo”  to wit ‘I don’t create human being oo’ so how do i know. Our best option is beauty enhancements/make-ups.

-Your Wealth?….I need Some myself oo….”But Remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth..”(Deut 8.18)

-Same can be said for Hope,Confidence et al…

The best way in all of these is to HELP you there, LEAD you there, POINT you there….

And that is what LOVE is all about. To be able to do it and do it well with all the wahala it comes with, it must flow form the source-GOD himself who is Love(1John4:8)

All these should help when he says in his word – The Greatest commandment of all is LOVE- Love God first and Love your neighbour as yourself. Do this as should and you have fufilled all the laws.

And that is your #DIGEST.

#GLORIOUS’26❣️

Is one seeking all the  #Glory in that Relationship Instead of ~showing~ proving the Love?…

*Is it more of the Recognition,Fame, Praises and Grand Gestures(That #GLORY) instead of the Sacrifice, Commitment, Servitude and Selflessness that #LOVE requires*

Is that one too A Glorious Relationship???…🤷‍♂️

*Is there Honour, Respect & Dignity in your Relationship???….*(GloryVAL Sub Theme)

Some of the things that come to mind when #Glory is mentioned are #Honour, #Respect  and #Dignity.

Together they make a #Glorious Relationship with God, with one another and with  that Siginificant Other.

A look in the mirror never deceives. (James 1:23-25)

For everyone  of us, we know where we stand with a lot of people in our lives. 

Those who Respect us, Look down on us, Hold us in very high esteem, those who are lukewarm towards us and those who we are not so sure of because….

Beloved, whatever will make you not to be sure about how someone values you in any serious (committed) relationship is enough red flag 🚩 on its own.

*Do your Views matter?….Are they carefully  considered?….Are you made to feel and believe that they do?…Is it a regular pattern in the relationship???

*Is he always the domineering force  who wants to take charge & exert control all in the name of masculinity?…….or Is she one who fakes submission outside but a totally different beast inside and vice versa??

*Are you a key stakeholder in very crucial important decisions in thier lives?…(They might not be able to share it all,but their engagements show how they value you and your mind)

*Verbal Abuse at the slightest reveals who they are and their perception of you especially when it’s recurrent. Hmm, Physical Abuse and the forms of it are the very least to say.

And so staying in a dishonorable  relationship  is not only suffocating but breeds deep seated hurt and contempt  only waiting to explode.

In sum, Respect in every Relationship is dependent  on how we treat and value each other’s feelings, thoughts, boundaries,differences and total being all in how God & his Word says we should.

And he simply says- In all Sincerity, Treat/Do unto others as you would want them to do to you. (Luke 6:31)

Every Glorious Relationship(_platonic, Intimate,professional  and more_) which is Christ centered thrives with  this godly principle  at the center.

And so let’s get back into looking into the mirror- “_Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like…_(James 1:23-)

1 Peter 2:17-“_Show respect for all people [treat them honorably], love the brotherhood [of believers], fear God, honor the king__

 ,*Is there Honour, Respect & Dignity in your Relationship???….*

A question  only you can sincerely answer. These guides  or pointers based on his word are only signals to take the rightful decisions before the ties are finally bound.

This is your
