Do you know (Part 1) ?

Do you know that inspite of the peculiar challenges associated with the outgoing year 2020, there are still reasons to be greatful? That you're reading this post means that you are alive, and being alive is the greatest priviledge any mortal could have. Don't forget that "a living dog is better than a dead lion".


Do you know that having dashed expectations and unfulfilled dreams is simply because you are alive to still remember what the expectations were in the first place. Do you know that as bad as you claim things are, they  could have been worst. Having spared you from experiencing the very worst, don't you think that God deserves your highest praise?


Do you know (God forbid) that if you were dead, life would still go on. After all, life is for the living. The exit of anyone, no matter how highly or lowly placed will not disrupt sunrise and sunset. I tell you, families, friends, associates, neighbours, mentors, mentees, aides, and all others who make you feel indispensable would move on with their lives. 


Do you know that God, not you, is the reason why you're still alive? He is the reason why you're are living not as a memory in the heart of your loved ones, but as a living soul pressing on to fulfill purpose. A dearly revered mentor once said, "If you have lost anything at all, God is the reason why you have not lost everything". So, whatever may be the degree of your loss, be rest assured that all is not lost. God can turn everything around for your good. It all starts with you, by putting on the attitude of gratitude to God, and man.


Use your gratitude to say to God, "I have not given up on you", and to man, "My sun will rise again". Use gratitude to create a warm environment around your life, where good things are attracted and sustained. Do you know that when you travel on the road of gratitude, you are sure to end at the junction of greatness? Show gratitude today and always!

JOURNEY TO GREATER HEIGHTS

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Deut. 28:1 There is an height beyond where you are now. No matter how high you have gone, there is still a greater height. Therefore, let your slogan be, “higher everyday”. This is why Jesus keeps calling men upward. He calls from sin to salvation, from salvation to consecration, consecration to Holy Ghost baptism, from HolyGhost baptism to manifesting to manifesting the fruits of the Spirit, and so on, and so forth. Jesus said in John 12:32, “If I be lifted from above the earth, I will draw all men unto myself”. According to the bible text, the individual willing to embark on the journey to greater height must, hearken diligently, and observe to do all instructions rolled out to him or her. Prayers is one of the conditions which anyone prep...

DIVINE PROJECT

Being confident of this, that He who has begun a good work in you, is able to perfect them till the day of the Lord Jesus. (paraphrased) Phil 1:6 Life does not give you what you desire, but what you demand for. This is why most times, it's not the first time that you apply for a visa,job that you were given; it's not the first time that you wrote that exam that you passed. Life answers to the persistent. If you're persistent in your asking, particularly from the right source, you'll be consistent in receiving. Make this declaration boldly, "I AM A DIVINE PROJECT, I WILL NOT BE ABANDONED. In life, nothing starts as a completed task. Project means  to make something new or improve something. It means to make manifest something. However, not all projects eventually becomes what it was intended to be. A divine project is a life or destiny that God wants to use to make a statement to the world. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God...
