REASSURANCE

111/300

Hi love, how are you? How was the last week for you? Welcome aboard, I hope you find hope, happiness and peace here.

I have heard a lot of stories about relationships crashing because one partner has seen constant reassurance as gentile’s meal that they can not partake of and each time I hear such stories it makes me thank God for the way He created me.

I am expressive to a fault, I make sure I tell you how I feel about you every time I am presented the opportunity and mind you I think you should see every time you get to converse with your partners as an avenue to let him/her know that you love them so much.

Oh, how beautiful it is to be loved and constantly reminded that you are loved!

Another thing that makes me angry whenever people recount their experiences with nonchalant partners is that we have a God that is the best in being ‘chalant’ despite His sovereignty.

Let’s see the story of Gideon for a moment. You can find it in the book of Judges, chapter 6-8.

Gideon was said to be a fearful young man, who was hiding to produce his food because of the Midianites that were oppressing them at that time. God met him and call him “a mighty man of valor” Gideon didn’t believe and I bet he was like

“what do you mean I am a mighty man of valor? Have you seen me? Did you read my autobiography? Can you see what I am currently doing? I am hiding! What then is mighty about me?” Yet God made sure that He reassured Gideon FIVE solid times!

Do you know what it takes for the sovereign God to perform miracles so as to clear the doubt of à mortal man? God could have just made Gideon go out there to fight the with belief or disbelief but He is a good good father that wanted His child to have an understanding of his identity before stepping out to do anything—big or small.

God reassured a lot of people in the Bible but I’d mention a few

•Moses

•Jeremiah

•Joshua

•Mary

•Elihah and so.

God is still in the business of reassuring his own people and it pains me when I find this smelly attitude of not reassuring your partners amongst believers.

Is it not the same brother Akin that prayed for 7 days because they want God to show them signs of what He has already told him? Yet it is hard for you to reassure Sister Monica about your love for her simply because you think telling her you love her once is enough.

I posted something on my WhatsApp status few minutes ago and I’d attach a screenshot here

Sometimes reassurance is not God lowering the assignment, it is God strengthening the person He has already called.

In that light, I’d say reassurance in a relationship is not about reducing the reality of what love requires, it is simply one person strengthening the heart of the person they have already chosen.

Until tomorrow, bye.
