The 9 in 1 Principle


They say a cat has nine lives.

Do you agree?

Well, let me school you a little.
You see, the idea of “nine lives” comes from observation. Cats are very agile and flexible, and they often survive dangerous falls or situations that might seriously injure other animals. Because they seemed to escape death repeatedly, people in folklore began saying they had “nine lives.”
Meaning that the cat still has a chance to live again after it nearly dies or survives a dangerous situation, again and again. Over time, the saying became a symbol of resilience, survival, and starting again after setbacks.

It is simply a metaphor, not literally true, because cats only have one life, just like humans do.
Alright?
–––––––––––––

Now, back to business!
Imagine if we, as human beings, could live nine times.
How do you think we would see life?
Do you think we would live each one differently?
Just think about the endless possibilities.

Well, I came to tell you something today, Gorgeous:

you can live nine lives in this one single life of yours.

No, no, I don’t mean living double lives.
I mean having the courage to start all over again whenever you hit rock bottom. You see, most successful people all over the world are those who failed, stumbled, or crashed at some point yet they stood up again and kept growing. They didn’t allow their circumstances, mistakes, past, or pain to define their ending.

They didn’t just “die.”
They lived again and again, and again.
They failed five times, but since there was still breath in their nostrils, they rose again; living for the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, even the 13th time.

Yes gorgeous, you can live 20 lives in your 50 years on earth. Yes, you can. You simply have to pay attention to what “killed you” in the previous life and avoid it in this new one. Learn from it, grow past it, move forward from it. Think about the endless possibilities and the things you can now achieve, the places waiting for you to explore. See, life still has so much in store for you.

So why die once…and stay there?

Use these questions as your yardstick, your roadmap for starting again:
• What are my fears, values, and beliefs? What stopped me last time? What needs to stay, and what needs to go? What new habits must I adopt?
• Who are the people around me? How did they influence my life? Who needs to stay, and who needs to go?
• How is my environment? How did it shape my past? Can I remain here, or do I need to move?
• What new opportunities can I explore? What skills, growth paths, or hobbies can I begin in this new season of my life?
• How is my heart? How do I manage anger, hurt, trauma, pain, and disappointment from the previous life? Who do I need to forgive? Who do I need to ask forgiveness from? How do I make my heart lighter?
• Who or what will I believe in? God? Tradition? Myself? Nobody?
Gorgeous, you need to pick a side, build a relationship there, and remain intentionally rooted in it throughout this new life.
(If I may gently suggest one, please choose God.)

You need to settle these things before you can truly begin to live again.

Remember this: With God, you are always a new creation.
God is the God of new beginnings. Even before you step into your new life, He is already there, waiting on the other side to welcome you.

So today, I am telling you, just like God told Samuel in 1 Samuel 16:1, rise from the dust because God has already moved into the “new life.”
Even if this is your 27th attempt, join Him there. Do not let your God-given potential and gifts go to waste.
Return to God. Return to your place of prayer. Reignite the fire on your altar. You are unique. You are rare. You are different.
And your story is not over yet.

If you're reading this, and you haven't recieved the Lordship of Jesus into your life, remember that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life. So, please say this prayer after me:

"Lord Jesus, thank you for life, thank you for hope, and the second chance at newness. I believe in my heart that you died and on the third day, you rose from the dead. I confess with my mouth that you are my Lord and Saviour. I receive the gift of salvation today. Come into my heart, and live through me. Amen"

Yaayy! If you said these words with me, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Welcome to the fold. Please send me an email at mailto:mamaihopeyouseethis@gmail.com and I will direct you to a good local church that will help you grow.

I love you so much!

weekly reminder: WORRY- why you should avoid it

Image
"I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life." (Psalm 27:13 GNT) The grace of a new day is worth celebrating, remembering us that life is worth living, one day at a time.  Dear Gorgeous, You see, it’s so easy to get lost in tomorrow. We worry about what hasn’t even happened yet: the bills, the children, the job we want, the relationship we’re praying for (for the single brethren among us 🤗). Before we know it, our hearts are heavy with what ifs. But Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” He wasn’t dismissing our needs; He was reminding us to live in the grace of today. God gives fresh mercies every morning because He knows we cannot carry tomorrow’s load with today’s strength. Gorgeous, everything you long for will fall into place in its time. 💡 This week, remember: Worry doesn’t change tomorrow. It only steals today’s peace...

(Ponder Wednesday): What is Morality?

Image
Gorgeous,  What is Morality? Is God involved in Morality? Recently, I read a book that said that morality points to God. As in, all humans instinctively know there is right and wrong. That's why we argue using “That’s not fair!”, even when we break it ourselves. Morality is not just instinct or social conditioning. Something deeper judges our instincts. The moral law is real because it tells us what we ought to do, not just what we actually do. So, If a moral law exists, then there must be a moral Law-giver. This points to something like a Mind behind the universe. Because there is a mind behind the universe, we do have cause to be uneasy because this Mind is not neutral. It expects goodness, and we consistently fall short. That should unsettle us. Morality isn’t made up. It points beyond humanity to God, and exposes our failure. Now, what do you think? Do you agree? Can we be morally right without God; ie. only relying on our instincts? If you loved this piece, please ...
