BOOK RECCOMENDATIONS : TD JAKES

-

New year, month and new list of books for me to go through!

I always love digging into a new book at the start of a new month, and I have a couple of good ones to share! 

The books I'm sharing with you today are both from Bishop TD Jakes

(If you do not know who he is please search his teachings on YouTube, he is a gifted speaker as well as writer who will leave you with gold pieces of wisdom and make you reflect on your life!)

Maximize the moment by TD Jakes 

If like me, you have a habit of getting stuck in the past not being able to focus on the present then you will be blessed with the contents of this book.

In every chapter there is something given for the reader to reflect on and gives wisdom of how to get unstuck from the past in order to make the most of the present.

I finished reading this in two days as I could resonate with just about every page in this book. The enemy has came to kill and destroy and one thing he can do to achieve this is using our past against us (whether it be a traumatic experience or mistake). 

Jakes gets personal in talking about the death of his mother then goes on to apply biblical principles of why making the most of our time is so important. 

“Each day is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to Him.” 

Before You Do: Making Great Decisions That You Won't Regret by TD Jakes 

Another great read by Bishop Jakes that I had to add on the list. If you are in a season where you have some important decisions or choices to make, unsure what is best to do then you should read this book and really take time to read it.

Bishop is gifted at delivering sound doctrine and wisdom in his writing and in connecting the reader with what message he is wanting to convey, and this is a book that will make you reflect your decision making progress. 

Jakes touches on a lot of topics and scenarios that people one day may find themselves in. Practical pieces of wisdom and provides necessary steps to help avoid regret. I would also like to add that I believe this to be a great read for those who are planning to get married.

What are you currently reading or plan to read in the new year! I would love to know so go on and leave some suggestions!

Dear Girls - A letter from Steven Mcleish

Dear girls, I have something to say to you:  the stuff you're listening to just isn't true  and I hope this gets through to you. You are not ugly, dumb or unattractive you need to take every thought captive because you captivate.  You are not just another stereotype and as you type your status know that you are more than your status and likes. You say you're fat and ugly but that is not what you post to be, a princess and daughter of the KING is what you're supposed to be. You are beautiful, unique, one in a billion, one of a kind, awesome, brilliant, creative,powerful,stunning, smart and a woman after God's own heart. And whether you think you're fat or thin just be comfortable in your own skin. And next time you think of the word beautiful don't forget to count yourself in. You are precious, a trusted diamond, boys who don't wait for you are not wise men because you are one of the most valued commodities there is.   And know you will never look like th

LEARNING FROM SEASONS: MALACHI 3:6

Hey sisters, Hope you're all enjoying the festivities that come with this time of year! Ok ok I have to admit, I'm such a winter baby. I'm all about the cooler weather, winter fashion, the aesthetic and of course CHRISTMAS. One thing I also love about this time of the year is the transition of season from winter to spring; flowers blossoming and the change in weather. It has always been a reminder to me of seasons of life. Life consists of so many seasons, some good and some more difficult. One thing we can be certain of however: Seasons change, the world is changing everyday but God NEVER changes. He is true to His word and His promises. He is the One that remains above all. “I, the Lord, do not change” (Malachi 3:6) He was mighty yesterday, is today and will be tomorrow. I wrote a post earlier in the year titled the best foundation - and it links with what was on my heart to write today. When we stand on the word and promises of God it becomes our

KNOWING HIM: DELIVERER

-
I just love reading about the different people in the bible that God delivered from all sorts of complex, difficult situations. For example, there was Paul and Silas who God delivered from prison (see Acts 16:23-26). There was also Daniel in the lion's den, whom God delivered from certain death by keeping the mouths of the lions shut! God also delivered David from afflictions; to be precise the mouth of the lion and the paw of a bear! (see 1 Samuel 17:37). These are just some of many stories that you can read about where God came through and brought them out the other side.  God is indeed a deliverer. Just like so many people in the bible, we will all face affliction at some point or another. Where we are hit with a brick wall and we think "now what?". There have been many times in my life where I was stuck in the lions den, the enemy would have loved so much for me to just bow and give up then and there. There is something we can do however: we can withstan
