I Lay Bare My Nakedness

Jenny was constantly plagued with painful memories, like a knotted maze, slicing her very core, into tiny shreds of agony, haunting her soul with its echoes.  She hid beneath her feelings locked away with no one to find the key, waiting for Mr. Right But he won’t show up so she settled for "Mr. Right Now". A couple of days later, she finds that "Mr. Right now" could really be the right man so she lay bare like most other ladies in town who tends to make sex become a substitute for real relationship.
Can I take off your jacket just to see your skin and picture you naked? "Mr right now" asked. Full of excitement with her eyes gone blue as she gives out her virginity.  He slipped off her jacket along with her self-respect. Her shirt followed and so does her hope. Passion and desire, meaning more than one night. Now the pants, the bra, the shoes like tinny vessels, a disappearing bruise and with her last cloth of hope stripped away. In the morning she woke up to see a note on a table that says: One of you did this to me, and so i am doing it to many of you. You girls are too cheap, go and check your HIV status in 6months time. Suddenly her heart and mind meet at that place where they know that Mr. Right doesn’t exist. Relationship is not about meeting the right person, its about being the right person.

Pain intrigues a mystery the endurance of perseverance tingling through every fabric of our being with a vengeance to subdue the mind and heart.

You woke up like every other person to see your world is so silent of joy, heartbreaking; your phone no longer pings with your words of love princess or prince. You hear nothing but the streaming of your tears and the echo of your voice in your head. You no longer hear laughter or singing or music, you no longer hear your heart skipping beats as your phone rang knowing he or she is on the line. You hear the cracking and breaking of your heart now, the blood as it pours freely from the wounds he or she left you with. You hear the shattering of your soul over and over on a daily basis and the screams that accompany your cries, you hear your own sobbing in the black of night as you hold your chest so tight. You hear the nightmares that invade your sleep; you hear the shock to your system as you wake. No escape from the noise of pain, no escape from tears that stain, no escape from your own head, no escape. Now you feel naked, afraid and ashamed, running around the planet earth hiding. Most times these pains cannot be healed by mere articles or counselling session. You need to come naked and unashamed before Jesus.

As I picture Jesus on the cross laid bared his nakedness, something stroke my cord which I want to share with you.

Genesis 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realised they were naked; so they sew fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Adam and Eve worked so hard at concealing their ugliness from God and adorning their best features. This fear is driven by shame and to their amazement God asked them to come out of their hiding and told them that the fig leaves were not adequate to stitch them up so he made a perfect covering from an animal skin.

Could we ever step out of our hiding places and find freedom from these fear-bound, shame-driven urges?  Could we ever be seen by the LORD and others and know complete rest and acceptance? Yes we can.

Jesus laid bared his nakedness on the cross so he can stitch up our nakedness. Therefore be glad to come to him naked and not ashamed. You need to step out of your little hiding places and embrace Him and let the healing of your soul begin. Once we give up our own coverings and “put on Christ” we can experience wholeness.  Christ Himself covers over our sin and shame.  This is not a man-made covering.  This is the LORD Himself offering to be your hiding place (Galatians 3:27).

Jenny is not a social media person, but she came across one of my books; Unsticking the force of Suicide; this book gave her a lift that brought about the healing of her soul. Today Jenny is healed at last because she accepted to come to Jesus naked and unashamed.

Today I pray for everyone who are hurt and in pain, May God empower you to forgive both yourself and the person that caused you pain. And
By the resurrection power of Christ Jesus, your pain is shifting to your gain. Heaven has decided today in your favour, you will not see shame Jesus name Amen.

Please share to bless a SOUL.

7 Horrific Reasons Not To Let People Kiss Your Baby

Babies come out with tiny rosebud lips that look like they are just waiting to be kissed. In fact, an infant face feels like an invitation to smooch. While affection is absolutely essential for the proper development of children, parents need to rethink letting just anyone kiss their children. In fact, they may want to rethink letting anyone kiss the baby on the mouth.

Parents are obviously going to resist strangers from off the street trying to kiss their babies, but the threat may lurk closer to home. Visitors, like family members and close friends, may feel that kissing a baby is just a way to show affection. Unfortunately, it can also be a way to spread germs that can prove fatal for infants. And this is completely 100% avoidable.

Even parents can carry germs that can be dangerous for a baby, and our kisses also have the potential to cause cavities and encourage other siblings to mimic our behavior. There are plenty of ways to let our babies know we love them, but one of the best ways to support the health of our children may be to have a no-kissing policy.

This may sound extreme, and many parents may just make it a no-kissing-baby-on-the-lips policy. However, it's important to put some rules and guidelines in place because the following problems on this list are real. Though we would never intentionally hurt our children, not knowing what the saliva coming from other people can do to them means we may inadvertently cause them harm.

 1.  DANGEROUS COLD SORES

A Facebook post went viral after a mom saw what could happen when an adult kisses a child on the mouth. Her child ended up with the Herpes Simplex Virus(HSV), in this case HSV-1, the type that is associated with cold sores.

Noticing the signs early helped this mom get her child to the hospital in time, but the child was in the hospital for days with the virus spreading across her body. Her young age meant her immune system couldn't fight the virus, and that's why herpes can be fatal for babies.

Though an adult should be able to recognize a cold sore and make the decision not to kiss others while it's present, it's best for parents to make a no-kissing-the-baby-on-the-face rule to avoid this fate. Given the severity of this case, it's not an extreme request.

 2.  CHEMICALS IN MAKEUP AND SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

Both men and women put a multitude of chemicals on their faces daily to try to stay young, look fresh, and hide their true faces. Though we've known for some time that the chemicals in these products aren't usually of the best quality, it hasn't stopped many people from continuing to use them.

These productsoften contain formaldehyde, parabens, and artificial colors, and that's just a start. Some have been recognized as endocrine interrupters, and others are associated with cancer risks. Though it's not a good idea for any of us to come into contact with these, it's extremely bad for babies.

By asking people not to kiss our babies on their faces, we can limit our children's exposure to toxic chemicals contained in makeup, moisturizers, and other products. Its' a small step, but it is something. 

3.THE KISSING DISEASE

Mononucleosis is nicknamed the kissing disease because it can be passed through saliva, a common component in kissing. Many people believe infants are immune to mono since they consider it a disease for teenagers who are making out with their significant others. However, infants can get mono.

The good news is this is one of the rare conditions that may be easier on infants than teenagers and adults. When infants contract mono, the condition may just result in a child having a runny nose and being cranky. It can lead to upper respiratory issues, but in infants those are usually also mild.

The problem is there is no treatment for mono since it is viral, so an infant will be forced to suffer through not feeling well until the infection clears up on its own. Plus, since this condition is extremely contagious, babies can pass it on to other people in the house. That means the mild virus can turn into a full-fledged nightmare for adults and older kids who catch it. 

4. CAVITY CAUSING KISSES

We may tell children that they develop cavities because they don't brush and floss their teeth. While this is true, it's not the whole story. Children can also develop cavities because we kiss them.

Dentists are warning parents that their saliva can carry a bacteria known for causing cavities. When we kiss our children on the mouths, we may be passing Streptococcus mutans. When our children receive this bacteria from us, cavities can develop in their tiny teeth, and these are usually found at their first dentist appointments.

Sharing food with our children can have the same effect since it is a way we pass saliva to our children, but kissing seems to be the most direct way we unintentionally share our germs. No adult or child should kiss a child on the mouth, and it's a good idea to make sure when we blow on food to cool it off for kids that we don't spray saliva on it as well. 

5. WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEMS

Babies' immune systems are pretty much non-existent for their first several months on earth. Gut bacteria are still being established, and though breastfeeding and probiotics can help build a baby's immunity, they can still be easily compromised in those early months.

Because of this, any adult who comes into contact with the baby needs to make sure they wash their hands. If they have even a small sign of illness, they should also avoid visiting a newborn. With these two precautions in place, babies can hopefully avoid issues. However, if an adult then comes in and kisses a baby's face, they are sharing germs that mom and dad just asked them to wash off their hands.

What may appear as a cold or mild irritant for adults can turn into full-blown illness in a baby. That's why having a no kissing policy makes so much sense. Even adults don't always know they are falling ill until after the fact, and that means our babies, who are already working with little to no immune system, may be exposed to germs they can't fight. 

6. HORRIBLE STOMACH VIRUSES

There is nothing more pitiful to watch than a baby with a stomach virus. Watching them vomit and have diarrhea while miserable from stomach pain is almost unbearable for parents. Stomach viruses are usually extremely contagious, so one kiss from an adult who is carrying the virus is all it takes to put a child in harm's way.

Besides being miserable for children, stomach viruses are dangerous for infants. Due to the loss of so many bodily fluids, babies can dehydrate quickly. Dehydration lands infants in the hospital receiving an IV to keep fluids flowing through their bodies.

Even a mom who breastfeeds can't always keep her child from dehydrating because babies will often just vomit up whatever hits their stomachs when ill. That's why anyone who visits the baby should be days away from any virus they had, and they should still refrain from kissing the baby's face. 

7. LITTLE KIDS WILL MIMIC GROWN UP BEHAVIOR

Many babies are born into families where older siblings await. Those older siblings take their cues from the adults in their lives, so if they see people kissing the baby on the lips or all over the face, they will likely join in.

While siblings showing affection is cute, it can also be toxic. Older siblings go out into the world to preschool and public school, and they come into contact with germs. Germs aren't bad, and exposure can help a child's immune system grow. However, infants are still building their immune systems. That's why a child just a couple of years older can handle an illness without much trouble, but an infant may be killed by the same germ.

Talk to kids about not touching or kissing their little siblings faces, then set an example by asking adults to follow the same rule.

When Two Girls Fights Over a Guy (Competing For A Spot).

"When Two Girls Fights Over a Guy"
(Competing For a Spot).

Our girls have been raised in a society where having a guy equates to having honour, shelter, food, clothing and respectability. So most girls tends to fight other girls over their guys because they fear to lose their source of income, they fear to stay hungry, naked, ashamed, and being bullied by friends thereby failing to understanding that they can succeed on their own. They feel that their inherent value and pride is premised on being found desirable by a guy.

I find it irksome when the female folks who have the potential and God's given ability to accomplish whatever they want in life believes their accomplishments in life is just by getting a man to provide all the things they need and this dependency makes them vulnerable to abuse from their benefactor (man)

Guys in a position like this can often get carried away with the kind of power that comes with being the object of desire from two girls. That kind of attention from two girls can be so intoxicating that he simply finds it harder and harder to let go of it.

He knows that if he were to make a decision on which girl to choose finally in the end, he would essentially lose one of the girls or both. If he loses girl 'A' based on his decision, he would lose the attention that he has gotten so used to receiving from that girl. A number of guys, out of fear of losing this attention will typically just stay in indecision until their hand is either seriously forced or someone other than the two girls that he has been indecisive about comes along to wrest their attention.

So many girls are 6feet down now because of unnecessary struggle and competition over a guy who in himself unsure of what he really wants. If the guy really loves you he wouldn't have been open to another girl's advances. You may fight and still lose him. It's OK to fight for your guy but don't fight over him. If you must fight,  fight on your knees.

Three things are involved when girls fight over a guy.  1. They don't want to feel like a loser which is an indication of low self awareness. 2. They want to prove to the guy they love him... Fighting over a guy is not a proof of love but a proof of dependency on him.  3. They want to be preferred by the guy by all means which is an indication of lack of self love and appreciation. The guy does not deserve you if he doesn't prefer you to the other girls but most girls believe that there's a "shortage of man", because they also believe man represent roof over their head,  clothes in their body,  human hair on their head, food in their belly... therefore, trying to hold on tight to the one worthless big headed guy they got instead of letting him go and move on to the next one.

Don't drink bitter pill over it, love is not a struggle. Until you stop following the culture of looking up to man for your survival violence against your rival over a guy will remain a vicious cycle.

Realign your desires and keep your heart in shape.

(Fix Your Love Story) 

No one can love, respect you better, and treat you right more than your wife if you keep speaking her language. There is no need getting married if you were not ready to be a husband. You remembered that first day you met her, you said sweet words to her that broke her wings, you showed her so much love and was always calling to check up on her. On that cool evening when she finally said yes to your proposal, she gave you a warm hug of acceptance that sent chills up your spine, took your breath away and your heart flew high, on gossamer wings through a cloudless sky and for a moment you felt like you were in cloud 9. Your face became the only face she saw in the midst of the crowd. You loved the feeling, didn't you? You got that sweet feeling from her because you actually asked for it by speaking her language. It was your choice when you asked her to marry you and she agreed believing that you are mentally and psychologically fit to keep speaking her language so she could manifest more of those beautiful side of hers you saw the day she said yes to you. Can you recall the last time you spoke those beautiful words to her again?  Can you recall the last time you chatted and romance over the phone? Can you recall the last time you took her for shopping? Oh! You can't remember! I'm sure you are thinking now. Obviously you can now see the picture where your love story started collecting dust.

At the beginning your excitement almost palpable, you share vivid details about the sweet moments that changed your lives forever. You constantly echo that scenario that has been the basis for romantic books and movies across centuries "Our eyes met across a crowded room and I just knew," but now the once vividly detailed love story  you built your relationship on has suffered shipwreck.

At the beginning of a relationship, we hold a clean slate, containing no mistakes. We set out to be the loving person we tell ourselves we should be, crafting the flawless masterpieces that will become our lives. But, because we are human, we inevitably fall short of some of the expectations we have set for ourselves. As a result, we start by forging a new story from different album. The voices that tell these emerging new stories come from all kinds of places such as loved ones, parents, teachers, bosses, friends, institutions, etc. Some of these voices are condescending, and destructive.

It’s worthy of note that many of these voices are not your own, but you end up embracing them as yours. Eventually you begin to notice the boisterous conversations and broad smiles of other people around you as evidence that they are living a life much better than yours, thinking that everyone else is doing better than you. You begin to focus on your limitations, feeling like the deck is so stacked against you that you would never catch up.

What story are you telling yourself now? 'there is no joy in my relationship, I'm not sure it can get any better, he/she is so unloving n uncaring' And to the single guys, what story are you telling yourselves?  Is it the same old story of how you were heartbroken? How nobody is recognising your beauty again and you don't see yourself getting a loving relationship. God does not fix our love story, it is the story we tell ourselves that creates our reality.

The first place to begin is to identify the poor story you are telling yourself now and challenge them.

If I could get at least a 100 share and a 100 yes to this post,  I will share with you how to fix your lovestory that will bring about the miracle of love you long expected. If this miracle doesn't happen within 30days then stop following this page.

Thanks for reading. Love You dearly!
