CHANGING THE NORM (1)


Genesis 26:12 KJV

[12] Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.


At the beginning of the year, people make new year resolutions. Things they want to start doing or improve on, new territories they want to conquer and so on. Quite a number of people don’t follow through on this plan. They forget the book where it is written. Here we are in the first month of the year. Let it register in your heart that anything is achievable. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it. Make this year an improvement on other years. Be ready to do more this year because you will have more this year. Isaac sowed in a time of famine, when people will naturally hold back and he got a pleasant surprise. Be determined to make a difference. Be guided by the Holy Spirit. Be ready to increase your knowledge in various things including being technologically inclined because we are in the Information Age. It’s no longer business as usual. Look for alternative ways to generate income,how to manage time, business and the home. Look inward and use the gift that God has given you. You may choose to write a book, develop an app, start a new business, do an investment, the list is endless. No matter how noble your ideas are, they can’t accomplish themselves without you doing something about them. This is not confess it and receive it. It only produce when you write it, confess it and work at it. They remain wishes until they are backed up with a strong desire that stems out of determination. The woman with the issue of blood was determined to get her miracle so she was able to overcome every obstacle. She had a goal in front of her that she wanted to accomplish and she went all out. She became unstoppable even though she was fragile. How determined are you to make the difference that you want? Until you are different, you can not make a difference. Passion is the drive that you need. Feed your passion and act now on what you believe. Where you are today is as a result of things you left undone years back and the ones you did. What will happen in the next few years? The definition of insanity is doing things the same way and expecting a different result. There are a few questions you should ask yourself.

What area of my life do i need to work on?

What do i want to achieve?

How do i want to go about it?

When do I want to do it?

What information/resource do i require?

What is the yardstick to measure my performance?

Let your pen and journal be your acquaintance. Put it before the Lord and believe in your heart that it is possible. Take the necessary step. I see the line falling for you in pleasant places. Shalom

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
