Be A Blessing!

 Be A Blessing!

You were created for a purpose. And the purpose is for you to be a blessing. 

No matter how small it is, or where you find yourself, try to find out that one thing that you can do to be a blessing unto another.

Do not cover up your glory. Just let it shine bright, that all may see (Matthew 5:15-16). So that you will be accorded as a blessing.

Stay Blessed!

Be Hungry Now!

 Be Hungry Now!

There is time for everything, even the time to have in abundance and the time to hunger and thirst (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) for all you need.

When there is abundance, as the wise, you need to go hungry and incubate enough for the future. Think deep!

Friend, now is the time for us to hunger for more. Why? Because, we have everything in excess as humans. Even the word of God is made available to all without price (Isaiah 55:1-2).

It is when you go hungry that you will feel the need for and essence of food. Without that, what do you care? Why do you think the psalmist asked the sluggard to go to the ant for wisdom? Do you think it is only in the guest for food? Think hard!

Dear one, a time is coming when all the resources you see around will be scarce, especially the Living Word of God (Amos 8:11-13), of which I believe we are having a little experience of it in recent times. How well are you prepared for these times? How much of the Word do you have stored up in your heart (Hebrews 10:16)?

Friend, don't be deceived by the illusive pleasures now, be introspective and sincere to yourself. Forget about religiosity and concentrate on your spiritual stance. 

Look at yourself in the mirror of God (the Word). Do you exude God's image as envisaged before time? If the confidence level is low, then you need to reorganize your steps and life all together.

There is no more time to waste, no more room for procrastination. Now is the time. Can't you see it, can't you smell it. Don't you feel the tension in the air? Come on, don't be a victim of circumstance. Make a firm decision now, because God is coming soon. And all that you are holding on to will perish in no time. Be wise and make the right choice to hunger for God (the Word) now!

Stay Blessed!

He Has Said it And He Will Do It!

 He Has Said it And He Will Do It!

Has any one promised you and failed to honour it? Not our God! His promises are sure and on time. He never fails. He has said it, and he will do it.

God is not a man like us to lie, nor will he promise and fail. For he is Almighty and All-fulfilling. That which he has said about your life will certainly manifest. Stay put!

Even though the promise of God is Yea and Amen, my dear, if you are not well positioned and available to receive the promise, you might miss it when the time is due for you to breakthrough. Beware!

You can not be expectant on God's promise over your life, and be absent-minded on his presence. Thus, be on your guard, stay focused and alert. For you cannot tell the hour when it will be your turn to smile, because God's plan is far beyond mortal imaginations (Isaiah 55:8-9).

If he has said it, then he will do it. So relax, have faith and be diligent and dedicated to your service to him. For this is your art of worship that comes with a promise.

Conformity Sometimes Kills!

 Conformity Sometimes Kills!

Being sociable and conforming to societal norms is good, but sometimes conformity kills. So be on your guard.

It is nice and pleasurable to live among people and have a groupthink adventure. However, it is very deadly when the company is bad.

My dear, it is not everybody that you conform with, neither should you conform to every other pronouncement around you. You need to be sceptical in forming your decisions in life.

There are times that you need to move with the crowd, and there are many times that you need to move 'solo'. Have you ever thought of this? If not, engage in a self introspection and you will appreciate this fact.

The world is made up of so many things, but not everything in it is for your consumption (John 17:16-17). Hence dear friend, don't force yourself too much when your inner man is against the norm. Just be yourself.

For you will solely be answerable to your maker on the day of accountability, not with anyone. So think deep and hard when you are lured to conform.

Stay Blessed!

Abide in Me!

 Abide in Me!

No branch of a tree survives without its attachment to the mother tree, likewise you can not be sustainable without your Maker (God).

God has created you in his image, that you may assume his personality and reflect his being to the world. However, until you are one with him, there is no way you will exude his character. Thus, he calls you today to abide in him.

Abide in the Lord my dear, for without him, you can do nothing. For he is your life and the very essence of your being.

You can not neglect Christ Jesus and have a fruitful life. Neither can you run your relationship with him on a rotational basis. It is either you are for him or against him (Mark 9:40).

In view of the above my Dear, avail yourself and be humble to cleave to the Lord, the Alpha and Omega. He alone can give you life, bless you with all manner of blessings and make you prosper, irrespective of your state in life. All you need to do is to trust, obey, have faith in him and abide in him as he requires. For he has you at heart and wants to make your life better.

Stay Blessed!

Be Skillful and Innovative!

 Be Skillful and Innovative!

Do you know, it is one thing to set goals, and another thing all together when it comes to its execution? Of course, there is a difference.  And with that, one needs to be more skillful and innovative .

There is no straitjacket way of executing actions to achieve your goals. Thus, you need to apply a little knowledge and skill through innovative means to make your goals actualized. 

No matter who you are and what you want to achieve, without being a little skillful about your thoughts and actions, you may never be satisfied with the outcome.

For it takes the well prepared, planned and skillfully executed goals to achieve their stated objectives.

Therefore my dear, as we journey deep into the year, make a conscious effort to cultivate a skillful nature, and be creative and innovative. For the world is taking its next revolution soon.

Master The Courage!

 Master The Courage!

Are you aware that certain decisions are difficult to make in life? Oh yes, you are not the only victim to this, it happens to all. But then, it takes the courageous to break through the odds. Hence, master the courage.

There are so many things you have to get rid of in order to make your life better. Why are you holding on to them? Just master the courage and let go of them.

Friend, those unhealthy relationships you have, the negative thoughts of your abilities and capabilities, that darkened past, come on let them go. Release yourself from these malicious dungeons and be up for your breakthrough. 

Let your faith be alive, and cleave to God, the lifter up of your head (Psalm 3:3). He will help you through (Isaiah 41:10).

You do not need everyone nor everything at all to make your life worthy, all you need is, to be confident in the promise of God and master the courage to take the right steps as you move along with the leading and direction of God. And you will be fulfilled.

It Is A Matter Of Time!

 It Is A Matter Of Time!

Everyone one way or the other has expectations in life, with the desire to accomplish them within specified timing. 

However, it happens that most of the expectations never go as planned. This, to some extent pose stress and depression  on you. But you know something, it is a matter of time.

No matter what you have purposed to do in life, just stay focused on it, put your resources together, and wait patiently for the right time to execute your action. 

There is no course for alarm when your decision is right, and your ambition is certain.  It makes you relax and assured that you are on the right course. 

Hence, with a little patience for the process to run it's free course, you would realise that it is just a matter of time.

Dear friend, that big dream you have will certainly come true. But then, you need to stay focused and resolute.

 You must align your will and desire to that of God's, and also ensure to have a right standing with him (by living his word). For without obedience to his instructions, your ways will be misguided.

Do not rush nor be in haste to get things done in your own way, be patient and thoughtful, having this great words in mind that, it is a matter of time. And you will surely get there (achieve your dream).

Be At Peace!

 Be At Peace!

In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, so many things are bound to happen. Though some may be easy to manage, others you may never have power to overcome them. All you need to do is to just be at peace.

It is certain that one may not be happy always, but it is comforting to be at peace. Of course my dear, it doesn't make sense to be striving for happiness while you are troubled within. Hence, work hard to maintain your peace.

Friend, in your quest for peace, you need to be at peace first with God. For he is the giver of peace and in him there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11).

There is no way you will be at peace with God and be troubled, never! He will comfort and strengthen you in due season. Trust him!

Beloved, to be at peace wholly, you need to also consider your neighbours and yourself. Oh yes, you must be at peace with the people around you, even yourself. So that, you may have the free will and comfort to focus on your growth and success as you journey through life.

Don't be too anxious nor hasty with all you do, just be conscious and be an advocate for peace. For in your peaceful state, you can be happy, and not the reverse.

Stay Blessed!

Are You Ok The Way You Are!

 Are You Ok The Way You Are!

You have come this far by grace, and have achieved all that you have in spite of all the stress and struggle. But the question is, are you ok the way you are now?

Don't you think there is more room for improvement for you? Are you not sure that you can do better than you have done? Think through it!

Oh yes, you can! For there are greater things ahead to explore and exploit. Thus, swallow your pride, get rid of your complacency also and be adventurous to add more value to your life.

Remember, until you increase your value, your self-worth will be an understatement and you may not have the opportunity to impact as many lives as you could.

Dear friend, you can not be ok where you are now. Though you need to be content in life, you can not shortlist your potentials. 

Come on, give yourself a pat on the back for what you've achieved so far, and be encouraged to do more. Because many lives are depending on you to also excel. Consider this as you make your decisions in life.

Be Determined!

 Be Determined!

Do you know that determination leads to success? And do you also know that, it moves along with consistency, perseverance and endurance? Oh yes it does, even requiring self- control!

It is one thing having an ambition and another thing getting the required outcome of that ambition. What actually makes the difference is your determination to make it happen. Sella!

There is a reward for your determination in life my dear. And it takes your ability to persist to attain that reward.

No matter what challenge may befall you, with the spirit of determination, self-control, perseverance and endurance, you can hit the peak of your success and be self-actualized.

Hence, I charge you as a child of God and a believer to hold on tight to your faith in God, and be determined to improve upon your life. Do not settle for less, for the grace upon your life is more that sufficient to help you untap the giftings in you.

Always remember that you were brought forth into this world for a purpose. And until that purpose is reached, there is no need to give up. Just stay focused and be determined.

Better Late Than Never!

 Better Late Than Never!

Many times we are depressed and perplexed owing to the delayance of our growth and success in life. 

As a matter of fact, we get weighed down with the excessive pressure life exerts on us. But hey, there is still a chance to breakthrough. If only we don't throw in the towel too soon.

Of course, there is a way for you to make it my friend. Great favour awaits your steadfastness and perseverance, don't give up yet. It is better to be late than not to persist. Sella!

Be kind to yourself and the generations you have to impact on, and stay focus on that one big dream you have. Oh yes, that dream you'd always wish it comes to fruition. 

But you know what, for you to actualize that and be fully satisfied,  you need to be diligent and dedicated to your service to God (in every area of your life). 

With that, no matter the delay, everything will work for your good (Romans 8:28). Then you will testify that it is better to be late than never.

Believe in Yourself!

 Believe in Yourself!

Do you know there is a lot that you can do in your power and capacity? Oh yes you can, just believe in yourself.

You have the power of God in you, and have been made joint hier with Christ. Hence, if Christ can do all things, then you can likewise do what you plan to do. Why, because you carry the image of God in you.

Meanwhile my Dear, until you allow the true nature of God to reflect in your life, your potential may not be fully actualized. Sella!

Believe in your ability to make the conditions around you work for your sake. Oh come on, believe in the grace and anointing of God upon your life. Believe that you can do all things my dear (Philippians 4:13), and it shall be done.

For you have not been given the spirit of fear, but of power and might (2 Timothy 1:7). So why worry yourself? Why are you unnecessarily troubled?

Don't lose hope, keep the faith high and hold on fast to it. You are more than who you think you are. Don't settle for less, you can do it. Just believe in yourself.

Be Conscious of Your Position!

 Be Conscious of Your Position!

It is obvious to say that no condition is permanent, likewise no position is stationary. Thus, it is relatively necessary to be conscious of your position in life.

There is no way you will grow if you remain static. No, never! For it is an error under the phenomenon of growth.

Dear friend, as by grace you have come this far in life in spite of all the uncertainties and struggles, it is prudent that you stay conscious of the position you assume. For you may never know the nature of the wind of life that will blow next. 

It is better to know where you stand, especially in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), so that you will be grounded in the faith and hope of a stronger anchorage.

For the days are evil, and you can not determine your fate in the coming moments.

Therefore, be strong and courageous. Make every moment count worthwhile, as you remain conscious of your position of salvation in Christ Jesus.

Remember, there is no room for lukewarmness, is either you are cold or hot (Revelation 3:15-16). Don't be deceived, be circumspect  and be in the right position with God. For it is only in that position that you will truly enjoy the fullness of his presence in your life (John 3:16).

Be Sensitive To Your Environment!

 Be Sensitive To Your Environment!

It is relatively certain that the environment in which we find ourselves has a level of impact in our way of life. Hope you agree to that!

We mostly react to the conditions of our immediate environment whether consciously or unconsciously, at the blind side of our thoughts. This to a greater extent signals how vulnerable we are to the environment.

In view of the above, it pays dearly to be sensitive to your environment. My dear, in spite of all the targeted goals, ambitions and inspirations you have, if you remain adamant to the sensitivity of your immediate environment, you may never actualize your goals. Why? Because you may be taken by surprise.  Sella!

The fact that you live within the environment, doesn't mean you should die in or with it. You are there for a purpose (to create a mark), and thus you need to be more sensitive.

You have a responsibility on you to create footprints in your environment. That is why you are to subdue the earth (Genesis 1:28).

Hence, don't be a mediocre, when you have the responsibility to effect the lives around you. Be sensitive!

Know that, your life doesn't depend on where you live or come from (the environment). Rather, the environment looks up to you to survive and be sustainable. 

Be sensitive my Dear, so that you would be relevant at all times in your environment.

Trust And Obey!

 Trust And Obey!

Dear friend, the message for you this day is so brief and precise...Trust and obey!

Oh yea! For you to succeed and progress, you need to trust God (the one who has given you life, grace and privilege to triumph), your capabilities and the process you are going through (the ups and downs) towards your progress.

Meanwhile, in trusting, you need to obey the related instructions, directions and leadership that comes with it. Knowing well that, without counsel your thoughts may be misguided. 

Don't look too far to succeed, just focus on God (Hebrews 12:2), and be confident in yourself that by trusting and obeying diligently, your success will be assured in due time.

Manage What You Have!

 Manage What You Have!

No one on earth is worthless nor empty, everyone is potentially gifted with valuable resources. However, your ability to know what you possess and the capability to manage your possession makes the difference in life.

As a matter of fact, until you are able to effectively manage your resources, you can not successfully recount your gains. Thus, it is necessarily prudent to manage what you have.

Friend, no matter how scare or limited your resource is, a good and effective management of it will yield great fortune for you in the foreseeable future. Try it!

Do not be a victim to the deceptive illusion of the lust of the flesh, nor your instinctive negative desire to waste. Rather, be resolute and resilient to be productive and profitable in all you do.

This can only be possible and actualized if you are able to manage your resources well.

 Manage what you have (your life, money, reputation, etc) my dear. For that is your asset and weapon to face the uncertainties life is about to pose to you. Be wise!

Remember To Be Grateful!

 Remember To Be Grateful!

In times when the vision of men is blurred without anyone knowing what the future holds, it becomes logically acceptable for one to be grateful for life. 

Oh yes, it pays to be grateful. Most especially to God, for his grace, mercy, love, protection and all that you have experienced.

Being grateful is not only to be expressed when you gain, but a lifestyle to be inculcated in your nature. Why? Because it opens unexpected doors of favour and honour to you in the foreseeable future. Sella!

Therefore my Dear, as we have began the new year, remember to be grateful at all times. Be grateful to God, for who he is, what he has done for you and that which he is yet to do in your life. 

Not only that, always remember to show gratitude to your neighbours, even to yourself for the little favours, opportunities and successes achieved. This if done religiously will boost your confidence level and make you relevant and valuable in life.

Bear this in mind that, just like love and faith, gratitude works magic in one's wellbeing. Hence, be an advocate of gratitude, and you will marvel at the outcome.

Meanwhile, the newness of the season makes it prudent to start life on a new note. Thus, the essence to start everything afresh.

Though it is worthy to throw few reflections on the past, it is very essential to have a fresh start. Thus, have a new strategic plan with much focus on creating impacts and making remarkable footprints. 

As a matter of fact, having a fresh start wouldn't be just easy, but with a little push and determination you will surely  pull through the odds.

This not withstanding, it is only with God involved in all you do that you will be genuinely fruitful (enjoying the success therein).

 Therefore, be on your guard to give him the right place in your life. For he is ever ready to perfect your life (Jeremiah 29:11). Start afresh with God, and you will be amazed at the progress in your life.
