Application Of Essence

 You can have every ingredients to cook a meal and still end up cooking nonsense. 

Stupid right? Well as funny and stupid it may sound it is the truth.

This is discovering of essence and not knowing what to do with it.

After discovering what makes you a man or a woman, it is vital you develop and grow this substance (essence) in you to better the live of whomever you're going to spend the rest of your life with.

Just discovering alone is not going to solve the problem.

How do you apply it to work out for your good is the question?

If you take a look at Deuteronomy 15:11 "For the poor will never cease out of the land; therefore I command you, you shall open wide your hands to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in your land" (Amplified Bible).

Who are the poor?

They are not necessarily the people that lack. They are people who have failed to apply their essence into good use. They have refused to be productive and in so doing, their intangible mental incapability has become visible (tangible) to the physical eyes. Hence they are tagged "poor"

And what does the above verse says about them (the poor), it says they can never cease out of the land. They are everywhere. 

So you as a woman most especially, since you're the one going to be chosen. You don't have the privilege to go chase or woo a man. It is the man that will chase, woo or propose to you. It is vital you know how to apply this very essence into practical benefits.

Yes, it is not just waiting for the one God is bringing your way. The question should be "what are you doing while waiting?".

This is the reason for the above quote.You can have every ingredients to cook a meal and still end up cooking nonsense.

Possessing all the essence alone is not enough, but how you use it also matters a lot.

And also "using all the ingredients to make a meal is going to make the meal taste awkward".

Every food has it's own specific ingredients. 

So again another emphasis has been laid. You have to know the right application for the right essence.

You know very well that "Maggi can never replace salt or can never be salt either".

For those of us in Nigeria, you know what Maggi is, but for those of us not in Nigeria, Maggi is a seasoning in Nigeria we use for cooking.

So your application matters a lot. Haven't you wondered why "having a good strategy for business alone is not enough to make the business grow?". You need to apply your findings (essence) to benefit you, but in this case your relationship.

How Do I Apply My Essence?

       First, you need God. You need is direction, you need to have a close intimacy with him.

       Secondly you must be willing to learn. If it means you sacrificing your time, as long as it is worth it, you have to.

       Thirdly you have to be hardworking. Even Jesus Christ worked till his last day on earth. Then who are you not to work?

"Work hard and pray soft". Bishop David Oyedepo.

        Fourthly spend time to study yourself better. Know the things you have a flair for, and the things you don't consider too important. Don't imitate others lifestyle or what you think might be right by yourself. Don't think, but rather be sure of it. For Proverbs 14:12 says "there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (KJV).

Seemeth there means it's having a resemblance (not exactly) or similar in character. You are you and there are no two persons like you in this world. You are unique okay! Nobody can know me better than me, and so it is with you. Nobody can know you better than you. The only being with that authority is our Heavenly Father (GOD).

       Fifthly you have to be honest with the findings you get concerning your discovery of yourself. There is no shame in discovering some awful weaknesses as you may perceive it to be in your heart. No weakness is awful, in fact that is what makes us humans. Just know how to handle your weaknesses, it is when you allow your weaknesses control you that it becomes awful.

       Sixthly believe in yourself. You are who you say you are. Your words speak louder for you than what people think or say about you.

Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" (KJV).

Use your tongue to your benefit. God the Heavenly Father has put authority in your tongue to prophesy over your life. He acknowledges what you say with your mouth. So it is left for you to make the right proclamation or the wrong proclamation. 

But even at that, let it be the right proclamation please. May God bless and strengthen you. Amen.
