Cross Over!

 Cross Over!

On the journey of life, there are many sides of the road, the smooth and the rough, the straight and the crooked,  the hilly and the valley. But it takes one to be on either sides at a particular moment.

As a matter of fact, the side you find yourself, influences you on whether to cross over to other sides. Think about this!

However, it is mostly not that easy making the decision to cross over, even though many on the outside will see it as being so easy. Do you know why? It requires a great effort and sacrifice. 

My dear, there are so many conditions in our lives that we need to cross over them in order to make our lives presentable and worthy of our purpose and calling on earth (Romans 12:1). Yours may be different from mine. But if you could critically scan through your life in the lens of God (the Word of God), you will testify to this.

To enable you cross over any situation, you need an aid (a support). What are you relying on to overcome the uncomfortable situations in your life? Is it your money, fame, connections or your will-power?

Dear, the only best and true aid you can ever have is Christ Jesus (John 14:6; John 3:16). He is the bridge to living a fulfilled life. One whom you can rely on without any thought or worry (Matthew 11:28-30). Engage him now, and your crossing over will be smooth and risk free. Let Christ be your Anchorage.

Stay Blessed!

Just Manage The Situation!

 Just Manage The Situation!

Sometimes you feel so uncomfortable in certain situations, not knowing what to do. You try to put things together in the way you think deems best fit, but nothing seems to work well. Friend, don't worry your soul too much. Just manage the situation.

Yes, just manage the present situation, and with time in your patience, everything will fall in place. Always bear in mind that no condition is permanent. And every trial has an end.

It might not be now, but soon to come. So keep your cool and do the right things you go to save the moment as you wait for your triumph.

The world is not fair and will never be, because it is controlled by men. But God is faithful, and he has positioned you where you are for a purpose. And I believe the circumstance in which you find yourself is also part of the plan.

For it is said in the holy book (bible) that, all things work together for good to them that love the Lord (Romans 8:28). And I know your case is not an exception,  because you are a child of God. It shall be well, just manage the situation now.

Stay Blessed!

Know Your Men!

 Know Your Men!

The success of a great man or woman is easily assessed by the nature and calibre of people around him or her. Thus, we need to critically know the people within our inner circles.

Who is your friend? And who gives you counsel? Who encourages you to forge on in life? Do you really know the people around you? Come on , know your men!

It doesn't matter how long you have lived or moved with that person. Do you know the spirit he or she Carries? What impact can you boast of about the people around you? Think deep!

There is no need to accommodate every Tom, Dick and Harry in your life if your focus is set straight.  What is the need to have a whole lot people around, without any significant impact in your life's progress. Dear, be smart and wise.

There is only one great friend (Jesus) who is worth more than enough to make you relevant in life and beyond. Why not engage him in your life with the highest reverence? 

It is better to have Christ with few other good friends (due to your human nature) in your life. That will save you a great deal to improve your success and progress. 

When you get the opportunity to have such people in your life, do not trade them for anything less. Cherish them!

Friend, be real, open but sceptical to know the true being of the people around you. Never be deceived by their deceptive reception and acts. Just stay alert, cautious and apply wisdom.

Know that you can not have any better friend than Christ Jesus. And you can not also choose who to be your friend, but the spirit that lives in you.

Hence, devote your spirit to God, that his Spirit takes charge over yours, to enable you choose the right people for the relevance of your life.

 If God is all-knowing, then with his Spirit in you, you will be able to know all the people around you.

Stay Blessed!

Have You Checked The Time!

 Have You Checked The Time!

Whatever we do on earth is time bound. Indeed there is time for everything under the sun (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11). And it is prudent for you to know what time is it, and whether the set time is congruent to your timeline.

Dear friend, have you checked the time? Are you sure you are doing the right things at their right time? Can you boast of a good time management when it comes to fulfilling your core mandate as a child of God?

It is not a matter of whether you are a Christian or not. It is about you accomplishing your purpose in life. Have you really sit down to assess how well you manage your time in view of accomplishing your task on earth?

It will be very painful to go through all the stress you are going through to get things done, just to find out later that you've missed the mark due to wrong time scheduling.  Oh yes, it would be a waste of time.

Friend, in order to avoid any inconvenience, why don't you constantly check your time and strive to move in line with the timing of God?

Move with your Maker dear, for he is the best person to make your journey smooth and fruitful. Never be in a haste to go before him, nor be unnecessarily slow to slag behind him. He calls you to move with him, so that he can carry you on his wings when you are fainting (Isaiah 40:31; Isaiah 46:4).

Be prompt to check the time dear friend, so that you will be relevant in the seasons. For the present days are evil, and you can not tell what is before you. Therefore, if there is something you have to do in this current times, do it now. Don't wait for tomorrow.  It may be too late for you. Be wise!

Stay Blessed!

Value Your Humble Beginning!

 Value Your Humble Beginning!

The human life is like a process, it has where it starts, going through varied phases and eventually an end. However, it is prudent and necessary to be critical about how you start and end your life.

In view of this, it is paramount for you to value your humble beginning. Oh yes, you have to. For it is relatively assertive to assume a better and impactful life of people who really value their humble beginnings.

Your humble beginning is actually, the stepping stone for your progress and sustenance. Hence, not having a flashback on those initial trails of your life may cause you to lose count of your progress. 

My dear, as you are in no competition with any other than yourself, you need to always value your humble beginnings. You need to constantly evaluate and assess how far you have come and by what means you have attained your present position in life.

This is not a means to boast,  but a means to enable you appreciate the goodness of God in your life. It is a measure to help you hold on to your core values and the fundamental principles of life that has sustained you till now.

This buttress why it is said in the holy book, that remember your creator in the days of your youth... (Ecclesiastes 12:1). It is to show how important it is for us to value our humble beginnings, the state when we were so vulnerable but a powerful for force (the grace of God) sustained us.

Don't be proud if you are in a better position today. Just remember your humble beginning and remain humble before God and men. For it is by so doing that you will continue to prosper into the foreseeable future. Be wise and stay humble!

Stay Blessed!

You carry A Special Oil

 You carry A Special Oil!

Just as you were wonderfully and fearfully made, so is the anointing you carry. Indeed, the grace of God upon your life is so special and potent.

It gives you the strength and mandate to operate in diverse ways. Do not underestimate the oil upon your life. It is very special.

Dear friend, you are not where you are by coincidence, hell no! You are there to make the oil (anointing) upon your life evident. Don't waste the chance.

God has endowed and empowered you to impact your world with the grace upon your life, why are you denying its effect? Come on,  let it shine (Matthew 5:13-16)!

You may never get the opportunity again if you let it go now. For you can't tell what tomorrow holds for you. Hence, be circumspect and skillful, to use what God has endowed you with wisely and momentarily.

Be prompt when it is time to act as a believer. For that is the prime essence of the oil you carry. Do not be naïve,  nor proud. Just be intuned with God, and do just as he wills and directs. For without his guidance, the oil you carry will be a waste. Be a true servant.

Stay Blessed!

Move And Pray Along!

 Move And Pray Along!

Are you caught up in the midst of no where in your life's journey? Is there no hope for you on your next agenda? Come on, don't worry. Try to make a move while you pray along.

Of course, make a move. Whether great or small, take that one step, don't be static. You can not be at one position and crave for the success in the next position. You've got to move to meet that success!

There is no need to look at your current disposition, else you are already a failure. But hey, forget about whatever is going on around you, and pray as you move along into that new discovery of your fate in life.

God has promised you and he will never fail you ( Isaiah 41:10). All that he needs is for you to remain in constant communion with him. And the effective way to do this is via prayers. 

So don't relent, be fervent in your prayers and act towards your wants and needs. Trust me, with your faith fully activated you will reap the positive response that you so desired soon in Jesus name. Amen!

Make The Hard Decisions Now!

 Make The Hard Decisions Now!

One of the biggest struggles in life is decision making. It is very difficult to put your thoughts together in order to come out with a clear, concise and productive decision. 

No matter the stage of life, one is propelled to make a decision to take the next step. But the question is, is it any decision at all that need to be executed? And how efficient and effective are the decisions we make? These questions must be thought through carefully.

My dear, I believe there are so many thoughts running through your mind, instigating the move for decisions to be made. But hey, not too fast. You need to weigh the thoughts very well.

It is best to prioritize the thoughts that form your decisions and try to make the hard decisions that will yield good and positive results, than to cluster your world with a mixture of varied decisions which may lead you nowhere.

It is better to spend time and invest resources to nurture one big hard decision with achievable results than to invest in unfruitful ventures based on bad decisions. 

See, life is not a race. And you are not in competition with anyone. All that is needed is for you to be yourself, know your aim and ambitions. Constantly frame the purpose of God for your life in your mind and strive to do the Lord's will, then you will be ever ready and prepared to make better decisions for your progress. 

Stay Blessed!

Work On Yourself!

 Work On Yourself!

In a changing and dynamic world like ours, what one needs to be sustainable is to constantly upgrade oneself. Many of our inabilities can be attributed to we not sharpening and making sufficient use of our skills and capabilities.

Be Good To Yourself

 Be Good To Yourself

There is none other to love you best than yourself aside God, so just be good to yourself. 

You are wonderfully and fearfully made in the image of God, hence the need for you to appreciate who you are and be good to yourself. 

Life got nothing better to give you than yourself. Just live it well and be happy.

You need not look at anyone, you've got the best in you. Come on, tap it out!

Someone out there wants to have a part of you in their being. Why are you there, nagging about your life? Hey friend, just let it go and be yourself.

You don't deserve that self-pity, oh no you don't at all. You deserve better and best, just stay focused and give yourself a good treat. 

Stop worrying too much and cast your cares unto God, he will give you rest and boost your confidence (Matthew 11:28-30).

See, you can never love yourself best without loving God first. So I urge you, just stay glued to your worship to God. Love him like you never did, give him all the reverence, and you will see how good you will feel about yourself. Why because, God is love (1 John 4:7-21).

You Are Fruitful!

 You Are Fruitful!

Do you know you have the capacity and potential to yield relevant fruits in your life? Oh yes, you are indeed fruitful.

God has created you in his image, therefore you carry the traits of God in your genes. Hence, if his work yields fruits, then you are fruitful implicitly.

It doesn't matter what goes on around you, nor your perception about your life. God has made you fruitful already. All you need to do is to claim it, and walk with and in it.

Many things (the lust of the flesh, inability to exercise our faith and trust, etc.) blindfold our eyes from seeing the reality of life in the eyes of God. But hey, if you could tune up your focus to God and his Word (Hebrews 12:2), you will appreciate the import of your fruitfulness. 

You are fruitful my Dear. Do not allow anyone or anything to deprive you of that fact. Just proclaim and claim it always to yourself ( especially when things are not going as expected).

What is making you feel barren? Is it the delay in academic excellence, marriage, employment or what? Don't over stress your being. Be encouraged, for he that is in you is fruitful, and so are you. Because you bear the mark of Christ Jesus in your life.

Come on, cheer up! Your season is here, and you will break forth in Jesus name. Amen.

Be Confident!

 Be Confident!

Do you know that one assured way to actualize your self-esteem is to have confidence? Oh yes! You can reach your goals and ambitions if you are able to activate your faith and beliefs.

Meanwhile, the most predominant source of your confidence should be from God. For he is the source of life, and every good and perfect gift comes from him (James 1:17).

Be confident in your Hopes and aspirations, for that will help shape your focus. In spite of your hopes and aspirations,  you need to exercise some amount of confidence in your faith. For you can move mountains with the little confidence you exude in your faith.

Believe in yourself Dear friend, and be confident in your actions. For whether good or bad, you will reap the result of those actions.

If so, why not gather the courage and momentum to do the right thing once and for all, with all confidence?

Think about this carefully!

Utilize What You Have To Capacity!

 Utilize What You Have To Capacity!

Everyone of us has been given a gift, and some amount of power and ability to manifest in that gift. What are you doing with yours?

Are you making good use of your gift, or you are craving to have a feel of another person's gift? My dear, desist from that allusive life and focus on using what you have to its capacity.

The talent and gift(s) you have is more than enough to sustain you for a better life. Stop disturbing your soul unnecessarily. 

God has blessed you with all manner of blessings, for you to be more comfortable and help others to also live comfortably around you. Why are you making your life so complex?

Come on, you've got the power and capability to turn things around. Just introspective deep within you, fish out that great talent you have and utilize it to capacity. It will save you a great deal of stress and build a healthy ambience around you. 

Just give it a try, and you will appreciate it.

How Well Have You Prepared!

 How Well Have You Prepared!

There are many things on your mind to do, some needing much attention now and others to the later. But the right question to ask is how well have you prepared to get them manifest in reality. 

With all the signs and notices around, you will agree with the norm that the end time is near. How well are you preparing to meet the Lord?

Are you ready to be in the hot seat to give account of your deeds before the Lord?

How at all are you going to meet your Maker? Will you meet him empty handed? Or you will meet him with much gains sustained for his glory (Matthew 28:18-20)! Just cross examine your life and respond silently.

God is coming soon, and it is so glaring with the signs of the end times starring right before our eyes, wickedness everywhere, with limited space for survival. How prepared are you?

Do not be adamant about living right for God (your Saviour) my dear. For now is the moment, today is the day of salvation. Your tomorrow might be too late for you. Repent now, and save your life. God loves you dearly and he is longing for your soul. Don't trade it on a silver platter for the enemy. Come to him now (Matthew 11:28-30; John 3:16)!

It Will Be Your Turn Tomorrow!

 It Will Be Your Turn Tomorrow!

Times and seasons are with the Lord, and he turns them as and when  he wills. Hope you know that! 

If this is right, then why do you worry your poor soul over the present short-term struggles.

My dear, it is God who raises kings and makes one prosper (1 Corinthians 3:4-7). Therefore, if your neighbour is reigning today, do not be perturbed. Rather thank God and rejoice with him or her. For tomorrow will be your turn.

This world is full of uncertainty, and it is only God who has the power and will to fathom and unravel the uncertainties of the world. Why don't you rest and build your hope and confidence in the Lord?

It is he the Lord who has promised you, and he will fulfill every promise to you in due time. Just trust him and hold on to his promise, that it will be your turn to reign tomorrow.

With this my dear, there is no need to worry. All you need to do is to activate your faith, hope and believe in the Lord. For there is no other way to be happy and enjoy your reign when its due, than to rest in the Lord ( Matthew 11:28-30).

You Are Not In Competition!

 You Are Not In Competition!

Why are you in a haste? Who are you competing? And who is even instructing you? Come on Dear friend, no one is noticing all your struggle and frustration, just be yourself. 

There is no need to overly stress yourself for nothing, yours is to stay focused and be in tune with your purpose.

Friend, that person you are using as a reference or benchmark to your success has his or her own guiding principles. What are yours? Do you see your principles being exactly the same as theirs? Even if they are, are your mode of  implementations the same as theirs? Think!

It doesn't matter what your ambition is, you are not in competition with anyone. So be in your lane and focus on finishing your race (the race to succeed).

For there is a reward awaiting your persistence and diligence. Do not trade that for another person's reward. Your reward is best crafted to suit you, and you alone. Focus on that and avoid unhealthy human competitions. It kills progress. Be wise!
