Yesterday
was a very good day for me, my pastor was on fire, the message was on something
I have always believed in and preached and it re-ignited a fire within my
bones. I wrote more articles in one day
than I have done in a long while and that felt really good because when I speak
and write, I really am in my elements. Then I had a meeting with a brother and
friend and the content of this post is an outcome of one of the so many things
we discussed. I’m leaving out the part of the day that was spent with the “SHE
who must be obeyed” ‘cos that’s none of your business lol.
There are some people you meet and it seems as if God cut you
guys out of the same mould if you know what I mean, my meeting yesterday was
with one of such people and I hold him very dear to my heart. It’s amazing how
my light bulbs light up each time we meet and I always leave with fresh ideas
and rejuvenated momentum to influence the business world so Bro we have to hold
more of these our sessions (I know he’s reading this and has a big grin on his
face right now) .
My purpose is to help you be all that you were created to be
and that makes me to keep seeking new ways to help you succeed. I have heard so
many success stories and I have read countless books on the success of people
and businesses, I have even studied the trajectory of my life and
accomplishments and of it all, I can make bold to say that IT IS OKAY TO BE CONFUSED sometimes.
I know so many motivational and inspirational speakers (like
me) and books have told you how you should have a clearly set goal and a plan
to achieve that goal and a set timeline to attaining the goal and I’m
completely not trying to undermine the importance of all of that because they are
actually quite key because “when purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable”, I
am saying that it is okay sometimes not to have an idea of what’s next.
It is okay sometimes not to know the type of person you want
to marry, it is okay sometimes not to know what career to choose, it is okay
sometimes not to know what business you want to go into, it is okay sometimes
not to have clarity about your life and purpose, it is okay sometimes to be in
doubt, it is okay sometimes to be afraid, it is okay sometimes not to know what
the plan is but IT IS NOT OKAY TO REMAIN
THERE.
As human beings, there are periods of uncertainty associated
with wavering emotions that has a drowning-like feeling to it, anyone that has
been there before can associate with what I’m saying. It seems as if the whole
world is passing by you and you are the only one on standstill (wink at the
screen if you know what I mean lol) I want you to know that you are not the
only one that ever felt or feels that way, what you are going through is not
peculiar to you and its okay to feel that way but I reiterate that it’s a taboo
to remain there.
Staying in that place of uncertainty for too long is a major
cause of depression and believe me when I say this, depression is a killer. As
a Life Coach I’ve come across people with suicidal tendencies stemming from
depression so I know what I’m talking about, we are not talking depression
today so I won’t elaborate on that, we will have a platform soon where we will
discuss “Deadly Emotions” I’ll keep you posted. What I’m saying is that you
cannot afford to remain in that place of uncertainty for too long, it is risky
business.
I believe and teach that there are no un-resourceful people, only
un-resourceful states. When you find yourself in that state of uncertainty, it
could be one of two things:
- It might be an opportunity for you to learn more about the power embedded in your sub-conscious mind. Scripture says “I have not given you a spirit of fear but of Love of Power and a SOUND MIND”, You are actually more resourceful and powerful than you know but sometimes you may need someone to help you mine the vast resources of your mind I can help you with that. You can book for a Coaching session with me, send an email to onyekwere.obinnaya@yahoo.com you’ll be glad you did.
- It may be God seeking your attention to surrender your will to Him. Sometimes we run ahead of God and do some things that we think are right and somewhere in between we get stock and lost in the middle of a mess and all God is waiting for is for you to invite Him to take charge and guide you out of the mess and into His perfect will for you.
Whichever one it is, don’t allow yourself remain in that un-resourceful
state. It’s amazing how a simple prayer like “Lord I don’t know what to do help
me and please order my steps” can turn everything around in your favour.
It is okay to be confused, but don’t stay confused. Do something
about it.
Stay Blessed.

Wow wow wow... Nice one bro. Just about what i ve been going through. Thanks for this.
I agree with you completely, there are blank moments in life and instead of being scared we need to know its okay and go on from there. Nice on Coach!
You're welcome, never forget that one thing that kept coming up in scriptures was the line "and it came to pass", believe you me, this too shall pass just make sure you get the lesson in it and most importantly move on. what lies ahead is way greater than you think.
People like you make it in Life, Press on
Thanks dear, we are @Gemstone
As i read through these lines, i totally agree, its okay to be confused but not okay to remain confused, a few scriptures pop up to my mind, first is 1Corinthians 1:30, It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God....“Christ is made unto us wisdom” means that Christ has become our wisdom. Therefore, we do not function with human wisdom but with an excellent wisdom. A lot of Christians were never taught how to take advantage of that which Christ has made available to them. When you learn to take advantage of this excellent wisdom, you’ll always know the right thing to do.
Second is John 14:26; But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you, lemme explain, For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body, and you are complete in Him (Col 2:9-10) lacking nothing needing nothing, we have the fullness of God, of Christ in the person of the Holy Spirit which dwells inside of us, God is never confused... He knows what to do always! I read A.W Tozer say, and i agree, we have all of God as much as we want ! all we need to do it, focus on God's Word and His leading, 'He keeps in perfect peace he whose mind is stayed on Him' a confused state of mind is nothing close to peace not to mention 'perfect'
John 14:16 AMP says and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever— we can check out d meaning of these words individually, they are words we know and use daily i guess, but checking out em meaning will make it even larger in our minds, i especially like the 'standby' it brings to mind a standby generator (e.g wen nepa strikes lol), it comes up automatically wen power is out, it means ur never out of 'POWER' !!!! ok i said all that to say that, just learn how to work what you've got, when it seem like ur in a confused state,find a Word for that situation, speak in tongues to charge up God's Spirit resident in you as ur Standby !!!!!! and give urself up, watch as all that confusion and despair will shrink, You've got POWER, WORK IT !!!!!!
