Semblance

-

Hi there☺,

I hope this meets you in sound health? Hope you still remember to daze the earth with your radiant smile?

😊

Kindly indulge me briefly as today's focus is unveiled.


Shall we begin with this question:

How do you cope with semblances😶?

Have you ever found it difficult to distinguish between identical twins?

Well in our house, whenever we happen to venture out, it is not uncommon to be addressed by your sibling's name. The reason is simple, it is said that we have an uncanny semblance...well, I like to believe the validity of this statement to an extent...🤗


Reading through the story of Joseph in Genesis 42-45, I couldn't help but wonder how much they couldn't recognize at first glance.



If they were half brothers or family, they must have lived together for some time and it is only expected that they'd digest his looks, well, except he grew out his beards.😂


The message today is simply a question,

When people stare at you (with or without beards/makeover), whose image do they see? A façade or the real you?


In an era where deceptive looks trend for bizarre reasons, I hope you choose to bear HIS image. For HIS image cannot be contested.



Even an unbeliever knows who is and who isn't real.


May we submit ourselves to Him daily as he overhauls our lives to resemble His.


Song Suggestion: To know you by Casting Crowns


Love and light,

Faith, for the Royal Rubies.

    The divine overhaul is vital. He must increase, and we must decrease until we get to that point where we're no longer seen but He is seen, fully expressing Himself in us.

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

Knowledge

A pleasant afternoon to you. How do you do? On today's post, knowledge is said to be appealing. Here's why... Sound knowledge is a venture not everyone is willing to invest in . Knowledge, they say is power, but what are you willing to pay for its acquisition? Everyone, or rather, majority of folks love to be associated with individuals who are vast and deep versed. However, we fail to make enquiries as to how such a feat was acquired. We would rather appreciate the outcome, than emulate the means. Recently, I confided in a friend my inability to prepare 'starch', a native meal of my motherland. He did well to remind me of the wealth of knowledge embedded in Google. Shamefacedly, I promised myself to look up the recipe for the meal. Don't ask if I have looked it up. How many opportunities to accumulate knowledge have we passed up? Or just when would you realize how powerful a person with knowledge, is? The means of acquiring knowledge is a process
