 PRESS ON

Philippians 3:14 KJV

[14] I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


The year is running to an end faster than we can imagine. We thank God for His mercies. There are few things we purposed to accomplish this year. Some have been ticked while others are pending. It is not because God is not willing to do His part but because we’re not determined enough. In everything, there’s a part of humanity and that of divinity. Pressing toward the mark is a personal responsibility. When we do what is humanly possible, God will do what is humanly impossible. It is not totally dependent on God. There were quite a bit of distortions this year that were beyond our control like the Covid-19., however that is not enough to stop us. Our level of determination must be greater than the obstacles we’re faced with. It’s not too late to press into those things that we desire for this year and to gain momentum for the coming year. We need to form the habit of consistency in pursuing our goals despite all odds and break unhealthy ones (like procrastination, idleness e.t.c) that will not help us to achieve our aspirations. It often feels difficult to keep good habits going for more than a few days, even with sincere effort and the occasional burst of motivation but we have to keep at it. We can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. If you plan to write a book, start writing a page or two daily. If you plan to lose weight, remove junks from your food gradually and try doing little exercise daily, may be working out. If you want to sing, avoid cold drinks and practice everyday. If you want to enhance your finance, look for what more you can do to generate income that will not affect what you are doing at the moment. Be an addict of financial education. Read a book and your Bible daily. You have to be deliberate about getting things done.Look out for resources or people that can help you to achieve your goal, this may include getting an accountability partner. There’s still so much we can achieve this year. Map out a strategy, work daily and pray all the time. All these work together not in isolation. The Lord will crown our year with goodness in Jesus name. Keep pressing on. Shalom.

TIME TO PRAY

-
There’s never a time to pray as this. We have been praying and it is obvious that our prayer is working for us. However, we need to intensify our prayer. No wonder Jesus said “men always ought to pray and not to faint.” We can not afford to fold our hands or faint    at a time as this, with the development all over the world. If we faint in the days of adversity, our strength is small.  IF WE DON’T PRAY, WE BECOME A PREY.  If we are willing to pray, there’s a God that is willing to answer. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV [14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. In the place of prayer, direction is given, help is secured and transformation takes place. Prayer is giving God permission to intervene in the affairs of men. You will agree with me that we need to give God permission to move in our lives ...

OVERCOMING FEAR

-
OVERCOMING FEAR Fear is a trick of the enemy to keep you oppressed, suppressed and depressed. You are probably afraid because of what you have seen or heard, something you believe you can’t handle. Have you ever asked yourself, why am I afraid? Assuming you have a project to deliver    and you don’t have the capital to execute it before the dateline, you get apprehensive and lose your sleep because a lifetime opportunity is about to slip off. But when you know a Bank will handle it, you go to sleep because your fear is taken care of. You have a Father who is not only greater than the Bank but owns the whole world (Psalm 24:1) and gives you access to Himself 24/7. He’s always ready to carry your burden if you bring them to Him. So why are you afraid/agitated? The issue with most of us is that we weigh our issues with our strength. We look    at our capacity or capability instead of looking at the capability of God. This reminds me of a story in the Bible in 1Samuel...

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

-
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS We are all blessed one way or the other. I see relationship as one of those blessedness. It’s important to God so it is very important to me. Some people will come your way for a short period and some for long periods almost a life time. When they go down memory lane in another ten years, would they be grateful they met you or otherwise? It is possible to be good and do a wrong thing that wipes out the good due to the extent of hurt it brings. I know there are people that you’re nice to that will forget and hold on to little wrong. There’s nothing you can do about that, just be good. Forgive, forgive and forgive. Applaud people when you can. Encourage them, help them, inspire them, appreciate them, love them, check up on them. These things have a way of coming back to you cos they are seeds. Relationships are resources, you may need to draw from, some time or maybe your children. You definitely will need people at every phase of your life. Don’t thin...
