Someone once told me that I should have been born in the 1950s because, how can I not be on all social media spaces? It’s a choice ooh. We all have choices to make and Joshua in the Josh. 24 when he was telling the children of Israel his last words, asked them to choose whom they would serve. Whatever eats most of your time, whatever you feel you can’t do without, has become what you serve whether you admit it or not. Did I say that you shouldn’t be on social media? No, except if you’re true to yourself, you know that you can’t really control your usage of social media. There’s so much on that space and you seriously need a break from all those atimes. Regulate the time spent there. I’ve seen a lot of people begin to question their solid principles, question the existence of GOD because they keep feeding from social media. What you constantly consume has the ability to change your psyche, change your habits, change you entirely as a person. How about we go back to the bible? Yes I know, some of us genuinely believe that the bible is just another book, but it’s not. How about you go and read it? Why don’t you tell GOD to prove HIMSELF to you? Ask HIM to reveal HIMSELF. You open the bible and look up to the heavens and ask for an understanding of the scriptures, ask for understanding of what you’re reading. I can tell you for free that answers to your questions are in the bible, I love to call it the word. If you seek HIM with all your heart, you’ll find HIM. Honestly, you won’t find HIM by scrolling through social media for the most part of your day.
Social media is a powerful tool that can be used positively and negatively. I find that the negativity is more rampant , probably not but it’s definitely very loud and catches people’s attention easily. If you don’t take time to detoxify, you’ll be so eaten up that you’ll begin to lose yourself without knowing, trust me. We don’t even realize what’s going on. So yeah, you can deactivate your account sometimes, uninstall the app sometimes, whatever works for you. I mean it’s no news that people have become mentally unstable because of social media, people have even lost their lives! Is it the false narratives on the soace? The cyber bullying? This isn’t fictional right? We hear these kinds of stuff. So I’m really just stating facts. It’s not a space for you to put spirit, soul and body. Look for something fun to do away from the screen, there’s a whole lot; swimming, playing ball, working on new ideas or concepts, taking walks(you can get inspired in the process), really take time to admire nature(another activity that can inspire), and study the word, pray. Close your eyes, talk to GOD, ask HIM those burning questions I’m your heart. You’ll feel renewed and rejuvenated afterwards. Thank me later. The real life is outside social media. Look around you, not in your screens.
