WRAPPING UP THE YEAR

-

Psalm 65:11 KJV

[11] Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.


As we get engrossed in rounding off the year and entering a new year, making out plans for the new year on what we want to achieve, please ensure that you include some things that are extremely important . The additional degrees, getting more money, expanding your frontiers are all good projects, but there’s more to life than all these. Please consider the following;

-Ensure that knowing God more is a priority in your life. Those that know their God shall be strong and do exploits.

-Be selfless and not selfish. As you think of yourself, think of being a blessing to others. When you build men, you can’t determine what men can do and how God can repay you. In every seed is a potential for great harvest. It is more blessed to give than to receive.

-Enhance your relationships. Relationship is currency. Don’t slam the doors on people, you may need to reopen that door. Do unto others as you want others to do unto you.

-Pay attention to your health. Don’t take your health for granted. Make money but not at the expense of your health. As you advance in age, it’s not everything that you have been eating that you should continue to eat. Do away with things that can affect your health negatively.

-Invest in yourself. Learn more, read more, observe more. Take self development seriously. 

-Forgive more, even as your Heavenly Father forgives. Holding people in your heart is keeping your heart in prison. 

Expect a miracle as we wrap up the year because the end of a matter is better than the beginning thereof. The Lord will crown your year with goodness.

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
