FEELINGS:RESPECTING OTHERS' AND GUIDING YOURS II

Now, back to my first set of questions and understanding feelings more; I'll like you to know that feelings are natural just the way attraction is. That you are attracted to the features of someone (irrespective of who such is) like beauty, character, respect or care, spirituality etc is natural because such fills the comfort space of your desire, passion and interest. But you must understand that feelings don't just happen, it grows. 
That it's natural is the foundational stage, what makes it get to a level where you are starting to unnecessarily like the person being around to the extent of thinking about such is a proof that you are nursing or growing the feelings all because you are getting too fond or close with such. 

That is why, to some, they might naturally don't have feelings for someone the first time they come across such person (which is right - you don't have feelings for someone by just being attracted, attraction isn't enough) but once they continue to have interest in such's welfare (or the person in theirs) and beginning to get obsessed in seeing or speaking with or having such around everytime, they begin to find such attracted to them and as at such, start growing feelings which at times may be called infatuation.

You see why it's possible for people to have feelings for who they are not supposed to have feelings for; yet they'll tell you they've fallen in love with such. At what point are they missing it and how can they know if it's the right person they are sharing their feelings with, with or without such person's consent? 
At first they'll think they are right but with time, they'll find out they might also be trapped in the same web with numerous others, which is not meant to be. Why is that?

One thing most people aren't focusing on is their mindset when they meet or are around people who they are either attracted to or not, if either it's the first time or not. The first thing that should be on your mind whenever you are around people you are fond of or not is "purpose". 
Why were you connected with such? Why is he or she here? What are you after? Won't having feelings for such affect your focus, purpose and the person's or people's? What about your relationship with and service to God, your future and destiny? What type of person is he or she and is it pleasant to the ear to have feelings for such? Are you not deceived by the lust of your eyes and flesh? If you have feelings for him or her, what next? Answering any related questions like these will help you guide your feelings. How can you respect other's feelings?

You don't force your feelings on others', even if you found out they don't have feelings for you. At the same time, don't allow anyone to force his or her feelings on you especially when you don't have feelings for such. 
Until you get to the point where you should have feelings for the right person meant for you, you'll surely come across people who either you or them may wrongly have feelings for each other. As you respect other's feelings, make sure you guide yours so you won't fall into the wrong hands. 
Many find out they have feelings for the wrong person after obeying the deception of attraction - lust of the eyes and flesh. I pray such won't be your portion. 

The same process that can get you to start growing feelings is in its opposite the best way to respect other's feelings. Don't get too close or emotionally attached and too fond of, and be careful of unnecessary touch - holding of hands, hugging and doing things together alone, set boundaries. 
We are humans and we have bodies that blood flows through that causes sensation including Jesus in His time. The fastest way to grow feelings even though it's deceptive is the touching and being around such alone most times. Beware!
These amongst others, are those principles the virtuous single generals (men and women of faith) in the scriptures put to practices daily during their lifetime including Jesus.

LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE (a promised reference to Timilehin David's similar letter years ago)

If you are reading this, it is to show how highly God has proposed and buoyantly vouched for you as the apple of his eyes. To a royal diadem, a rare gem, the good thing I'll find whose worth is beyond rubies, the brightest star in the sky I'm staring at and looking forward to embrace her shining light, my other half, the fairest among women (just like my fairy mum) whose heart is golden and cannot be bought by the worth of earthly treasures, one whose stance would cause the fall of a thousand men, and her walking steps draw the gaze of mighty men. To my future wife, whose eyes I would love to fix my gaze, whose cheeks I would love to caress, whose succulent lips I would love to taste like the honeycomb and beautiful body I would love to glue onto like the magnet on the day of matrimony. Your smile is a beaming hope, your laughter a contagious joy and your teeth like the bright spring in the sunny day. I hope reading this won't make you think I am carnal because ...

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE YOU DON'T KNOW

You might want to wonder, does LOVE have any other side (just like a coin though single but having two SIDES)? Do I not know about the entirety of love or does it still transcend beyond the description and exposition given to it by Apostle Paul in 1Cor 13?  Do you know that, just the way you can't decipher all that God is even though He fully demonstrated His nature of love by becoming a Father and sacrificing Himself (the Soul - Jesus the Christ as His only Son) for humanity; you can't also comprehend all that Love is because God is Love? Now, let me bring clarity to avoid confusion. What do I mean by the OTHER SIDE OF LOVE? Like everybody else will think, the answer to that question would be the painful side of love or the sacrifices of love or the challenges that may befall one because of love etc. But that's not where my target is, instead it is the most neglected nature of Love - BALANCE. When you hold a coin or are given a coin what attracts you the most i...

EXAMINATION TIPS FOR BELIEVERS

  The secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well - John D. Rockefeller.  As believers, the kind of success that God wished that we manifest in is different from that of unbelievers. It is success that supercedes man's (self) ability; one that is traceable to the enabling power of God; one which can be drawn, associates and is enabled (in and) by the Spirit, so that we cannot boast of our power, knowledge, skills and every of our ability but by the strength, quickening and enabling power of God. This is applicable to all spheres: Business, Work, Education etc including Ministry. But due to the course of this writing, I'll be centering on exams especially students that are believers. If you aren't one of them, make a quick deliberate decision and be convinced of your salvation, else, you are missing out amongst Christ's family (and the benefits of being a Son, a few of what I'll be sharing here).  According to Josh 1:8 - KJV:This book of the law sh...

TRANCES OF YOUR PROPOSED STATURE

  Num 24:4 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open,  16 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open The word Trance is derived from the Greek word ( ekstasis ) meaning a displacement of the mind that is bewilderment, ecstasy; be amazed. The condition expressed by this word is a mental state in which the person affected is partially or wholly unconscious of objective sensations, but intensely alive to subjective impressions which, however they may be originated, are felt as if they were revelations from without. They may take the form of visual or auditory sensations or else of impressions of taste, smell, heat or cold etc. The English Dictionary defines it as a dazed or unconscious condition; (consciousness) a state of concentration, awareness and is foc...

DON'T GET DISCONNECTED, STAY ON COURSE

It is of no fallacy that there is no boundary, blockage or distance barrier of any sort to the access or manifestation of the Spirit. And indeed, there is no medium whatsoever that the Holy Spirit cannot use to demonstrate enormous power, no matter how unimaginable or unreasonable it may be ( Mantle - 2Ki 2:14, Hem of garment - Matt 14:36, Handkerchief and Apron - Acts 19:12, Shadow - Acts 5:15).  You might have heard of testimonies of men about the move of God's power, either through Social Media (despite the different locations - countries and continents across the globe), Audio or Video Messages and many more. Also, it is not bad or devilish for believers to have spiritual books, messages, write ups etc on their phones, laptops or any technological gadgets.  Doing these does not serve majorly any other purpose than to use them to build up ourselves spiritually and get imparted by the anointing of the Men of God. Which has helped us to access the unreachable mate...
