MIND YOUR ASSOCIATION

-

Proverbs 24:6 KJV


[6] For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.



Mind your association this year. Your association can enable you or disable you. It determines how far you go in life. Some people around you look like enablers but they only help you to be crippled and to stay down. They politely make you feel small and make light of your little achievements They enjoy the fact that what they say or do make you think little of yourself. It’s just to set you back. 

Be careful who you pay attention to. Evil communication corrupts good manners.

Be careful who you spend time with. When a leaf stays long on soap, it becomes soap. You become like those you spend time with. You are an average of the five people you spend time with. Be intentional about your association this year so that you don’t journey with Jonah who rocked the ship and put everyone’s life in jeopardy. 

I will conclude this article with a beautiful explanation on Association with the rain drop from the sky. I believe this will bless you and hope you will get it your message from the message. When the rain drops from the sky, If it is caught in hands, it is pure enough for drinking. If it falls in a gutter, its value drops so much that it can’t be used even for washing the feet. ... If it falls on lotus leaf , it shines like a pearl and finally , if it falls on an oyster, it becomes a pearl ...The drop is the same , but it's existence and worth depends on whom it is associated with...always associate with people who are good at heart ...you will experience your own inner transformation . Your association can determine your worth. Get ready for an eagle’s flight this year.


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
