Today, I wanted to talk or share about a topic that has always fascinated me: communicating with God.
Firstly, I'm curious if any of you have ever paid attention to communicating with God. Have you ever tried to establish a connection, seek guidance or comfort, or simply engage in a heartfelt conversation with the divine? What were your experiences or thoughts on the matter?
Well, when we talk about communicating with God, we're talking about reaching out to the divine, the higher power that many people believe in. It's like having a conversation with someone who is always there for you, someone who can guide and comfort you; and one reason people communicate with God is to seek guidance. Imagine you're facing a tough decision, like choosing between two different paths. You might want to ask God for help in making the right choice. It's like having a wise friend who can give you advice.
Another reason is seeking comfort. When you're feeling sad, scared, or lonely, talking to God can bring you a sense of peace and reassurance. It's like pouring out your heart to someone who understands and cares about you.
I understand that beliefs regarding the existence of a higher power might vary among us, but do you believe it is conceivable to communicate with God? Some say it can be through prayers, meditation, or even through moments of solitude in nature. Is this something you've ever contemplated or perhaps even experienced?
Have you ever had a deep, meaningful conversation with a friend or family member? Well, talking to God can be just like that, but even more special. You can share your hopes, dreams, and fears with God, knowing that you're being heard and loved.
As professionals, do you see any relevance in including God in our everyday lives? Does engaging in communication with a divine entity hold any significance for you personally? Are there moments when you find solace, inspiration, or guidance from such interactions?
Connecting with God is a personal experience, and different people may have different ways of doing it. Here are a few examples:
Prayer:
Prayer is a common way to communicate with God. It's like talking to God in your mind or out loud. You can share your thoughts, feelings, and ask for help or guidance. It's a way of opening up and connecting with the divine.
Meditation:
Meditation is another way to connect with God. It's like finding a quiet space, closing your eyes, and focusing on your breath or a peaceful image. It helps you calm your mind and be present in the moment, creating a space for God to speak to your heart.
Journaling:
Writing in a journal can also be a way to communicate with God. You can write down your thoughts, prayers, and reflections. It's like having a conversation on paper, where you can express yourself freely and honestly.
Furthermore, are there any specific practices or rituals you follow to foster a spiritual connection? Perhaps journaling, attending religious services, or engaging in acts of kindness and service? We'd love to hear about your experiences and rituals that nourish your spiritual side.
To those who may hold a skeptical view, I welcome your thoughts as well. What factors contribute to your disbelief in the possibility of communication with God? Is it a matter of personal experiences, lack of evidence, or a different perspective altogether?
Ultimately, my intention here is to raise awareness, and open our minds to the vast possibilities that lie beyond the realm of our human perception. Does the possibility of communicating with God hold any relevance in our lives, regardless of our beliefs?
So, with an open mind and respectful hearts, let's embrace this opportunity to share our reflections, experiences, doubts, or convictions. Feel free to engage in a constructive and insightful dialogue.
Remember, the goal is not to advocate for or against any particular belief, but rather to encourage open-minded discussions that broaden our perspectives and foster understanding.
God bless you!

Life... abundantly!

Hello,

I really have difficulty managing all my profiles effectively because I spend more time on a platform than on another. Feels so good to drop by!
Today, I am going to share about trinity! God created man in his image and likeness, and it’s known that man is made up of a body, soul and spirit, but I will let you decide whether this is true. Most people know only about their physical aspect, they ignore about their soul and spirit. Apparently, there are people that are physically focused, they know a lot about the physical aspects of a man, there are those who are mentally focused, and they know a lot about the mental aspects, and there are those who are spiritually focused as they know a lot about the spiritual aspects. These three are called to live together socially and we can understand the chaos that often evolves.
The physical aspect is related to the body which is made up of body parts such as head, hair, neck, thorax and abdomen, arms and hands, legs and feet. The head alone contains four of the five senses which help humans to perceive and cope with their environment.
Coping with the environment and other humans requires knowledge and understanding which can only be achieved through the mind. That’s the mental aspect of a human being which is the ability to think and reason, and it enables a person to seek knowledge and understanding. Through knowledge and understanding, man kind of, promotes creativity which raises the issues of usefulness and right or wrong. That is where the spiritual aspect intervenes because it focuses on the application and usefulness of the knowledge and understanding that result from the mind (doesn’t this bit sound like philosophy?)
Wisdom is defined as “the application or use of knowledge” which is a bit related to ethics. And according to the biblical scriptures, “ the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”, and wisdom seems to be a vital guide to peace, joy, love....productivity and wealth!
In conclusion, it’s important for each person to get to know which of the three aspects is predominant in their lives, and build up their life around the predominant aspect; and that’s probably why many fail in life, and I believe once more than Jesus Christ has come to give us life...”abundantly”....according to his own words!!

God bless you!

just to add something on my profile:
how will everything look like in a 100 years (2124)? I guess most buildings will still be around, probably streets, schools and churiches as well. I imagine that fashion will still be very similar to what it is now.
I remember how it was a hundred years ago; I was still black (can people be birth in another skin colour?) and probably I will still be black; the good news is that, I have heard the gospel and the Lord has confirmed that the journey is still very long. 2000 years ago, he was telling his disciples in Matthew 24 that in the last days, there would be a rise of false prophets and false Christs; that people would run away... but he knew that on the last days or at the end, the disciples would not be around as they would not live eternally; Jesus was speaking to them as if they would witness the end when he knew that he was starting only , and he confirmed that the gospel of the kingdom has to be preached before the end comes, and apparently, the disciples would be there to witness all that; anyway, my point is that the gospel has awakened me and I kind of had my eyes and memory opened, reminding me that my life did not start in this life and I still have to go a long way (throu a next life?). And this suggests that I believe in reincarnation isn’t it? well, I don’t know if there’s reincarnation, but I feel that I have always been around and I still going somewhere; I thank God that I have come across the Bible, and I don’t know if some people will just reject everything I say or call it witchcraft, but all I know is that Jesus has come to open the eyes of the blinds, and to give us life abundantly!!

Biblical Connotations of Investing in the Stock Market: Maximize Returns while Controlling Risks

Introduction:
Investing in the stock market is often perceived as a tool for participating in the real economy and financing the growth and development of companies. As investors provide capital to these entities, they hope to see their investments grow and generate wealth in return. However, much like life itself, investing comes with uncertainties, risks, and potential losses. In this blog post, we will explore the biblical connotations behind the concepts of risk and diversification in the stock market, emphasizing the need to maximize returns while controlling risks, as mentioned in the Scriptures.

Parable of the Talents:
In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus tells a story of a master who entrusted different amounts of money to his servants before leaving on a journey. Upon his return, he commended the servants who had multiplied their talents but condemned the one who had buried his talent in the ground. This parable, while not directly related to the stock market, encourages believers to wisely utilize their resources, acknowledging the inherent risk in doing so.

Managing Risks and Diversification:
Similarly, when investing in the stock market, believers are encouraged to manage risks and seek diversification. The book of Ecclesiastes mentions, "Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days" (Ecclesiastes 11:1). This verse lends itself to the idea of spreading investments across various assets, minimizing the impact of one potential loss and ultimately maximizing returns over time.

The-Proverbs 21:20:
Proverbs 21:20 exclaims, "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down." This verse can be interpreted as a call to prudence and preparation. In the context of investing, it emphasizes the need to have a well-diversified portfolio that includes different types of assets - stocks, bonds, diversified funds, and ETF funds - to ensure a better chance of success.

Wisdom in Investing:
Throughout the Bible, wisdom is exalted and valued. Proverbs 4:7 advises, "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." This verse exemplifies the importance of acquiring knowledge and understanding before engaging in any endeavor, including investing. By educating oneself about the stock market, potential opportunities, and risks, investors can make informed decisions, ultimately enhancing their chances of success and minimizing losses.

Conclusion:
Investing in the stock market can be seen through biblical connotations as a means of participating in the real economy and supporting the growth of companies. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the potential risks and uncertainties associated with such investments. By wisely diversifying their portfolios, believers can seek to maximize returns while minimizing risks, aligning with the call for prudence, preparation, and the acquisition of wisdom. Remember, in all things, including investments, seeking guidance and discernment while relying on the principles and teachings of Scriptures can lead to more fruitful outcomes.

hello everyone! I have just realised recently that many people I know suddenly have grey hair !! I wish them happy grey hair days!! our parents were not that old at these ages; it’s stressful how people grow old so fast!!

the only solutions to hot weather:

I tried an interesting DIY recently:

what's up good people? I just dropped by and I would like to take this opportunity to share the following message with you: I am an online evangelist (a person to preaches the gospel to people, mostly unbelievers), and I usually like to remind people that this life is temporal and we are all called to die one day; so, just as many people know that they are destined to grow old one day and they prepare for their old age, likewise we must prepare for our life after death because when we die we begin another form of life in an eternal dimension. Now is the time to choose and prepare for life after death, because there is life after death! So, I would like to remind you that your physical body is only the physical aspect of your being, but there is the spiritual aspect that many people ignore. Since your birth, you have only focused on your physical body: your parents have taken care of you and educated you, you probably have obtained a diploma or a job that allows you to provide for the needs of your body; by the way, have you ever bought food or clothes for your soul? do you even know that there is a soul inside you that needs to be nurtured like you do with your body? The worst part is that it is the soul that continues to live after death, in the eternity while the body rots in the grave. The choice is entirely in your hands because there are only two destinations after death, heaven and hell, and you are very, very free to choose where you want your soul to go. Many would like to go to heaven because it seems to be a beautiful place or destination, but many end up in hell which apparently is not a good destination for the soul. From my side, as an evangelist, I help people understand that there is life after death and that there are also two destinations for the soul, and I encourage people to make the right choice by providing them with all the information available to enable them to choose the right destination for their soul after death. God is a spirit and He lives in the spirit realm; He once decided to create this physical world and mankind; it is obvious that the spiritual realm is the real world or reality and the physical realm is temporal; as humans, we mostly come from the spiritual realm to live temporary in the physical realm; unfortunately, many people ignore the reason why we are sent to earth and they fail their purpose; we have been taught that those who live according to God's will go to heaven and those who live differently go to hell; I don't know what you believe, but it is obvious that we will all die one day, and in case you might have forgotten, there is life after death, and it is usually after death that many remember their purpose and.... If you are ever interested in knowing more about life after death and the different destinations after death, do not hesitate to contact me. You must have probably heard of the recent scientific discoveries concerning life after death. I invite you to think or reflect on them and perhaps to prepare yourself (to be honest, I do not know how many times I have mentioned the word "death "in this message and usually, people who did not expect my message get scared and become almost superstitious; far be it from me to scare you, in fact, death is part of our every day realities but we seem to discard it and especially to give it a thought, because very few people bother to think about their death or life after death). With all that, I wish you a good day and I hope you will take the trouble to think about what your life after death will be like; and since death can be unpredictable, it is really important to think about it as well, and to prepare (at least think about it) !

because Sarah already entered menopause and God got her, her miracle baby (despite menopause); also, because Lazarus alreaft died for four good days before the Lord Jesus resurrected him, I always try to figure out a way, an outcome or a solution no matter the problem or situation, and I always tell myself “I am inside menopause “ or “I am inside the grave”.
It sounds ok, but I came to realise that for you (I mean ”me”) to at least come out of the grave (even without the miracle baby or the resurrection.... smile), you have to have a special connection with the Lord; it’s not for anyone!
I have given up on many things while inside the grave or menopause because I would have rotten and died FOR GOOD in the grave and there was no way I could have conceived anything while surrounded by all these menopause stuff.
This taught me many things about the Lord and his “ways”, and I don’t mind sharing some of the things I have learned while in the grave or while afflicted by menopause.
Some of you reading this, looking at your situation, you know that you are inside the grave and there is no way you can resurrect or you are tight by all these menopause strings (this how I imagine it) and there is no way YOU can get that thing. Some of you reading this, you have given up because “age” obliges you and there’s no way you can get it, and.... it will be too embarrassing (like Sarah thought).
Well, may God grant you the connection I now got, and getting out of the grave or menopause has become nearly like a game to me. (usually, after I make such a declaration, I get afli by the enemy and I thank God I have learned quite many things).
