MIND SET ON YOU!

-
Image
I opened my eyes and I realized that it was still very early in the morning, but I was already tired of laying in bed. I stayed for a little while and then angrily got up. For some reasons I was so sad that morning. I was thinking of so many things I did not have, and I needed them, and so many things I needed to do that I did not know how to go about them. I was weighed down by the thoughts of these. Getting to the siting room, I laid down on our couch. Studied a chapter of the Bible and dozed off. I fell into a trance where I was singing a hymn ‘ All people that on earth do dwell ’, and then I got to the third verse where it says “For why the Lord our God is good, His mercy is forever sure. His truth at all times firmly stood and shall from age to age endure ”.  Tears were rolling down my eyes, and I soon started to cry in the physical. I continued worshipping God the way I did in that trance. I understood the word the Lord spoke to me in the third verse of that hymn. Not very long

EXACT STRENGTH FOR THE VERY WEAKNESS!

-
Image
  Recently, I have been reminiscing on how constant the word of God is and how faithful God himself is. This year has been a hell of a year, and there is just no need to go in depth because everyone has felt a touch of the hardness of this year, as well as the sweetness. Yes, I said “sweetness” because as much as we all agree that 2020 has been so tough with series of pains and regrets for many, it has still been a very lovely year. Why do I say this? It is in a time of chaos, trouble, difficulty, a time when man’s strength and wisdom are exhausted, that God manifests His unexhaustive and limitless power. It is a time when science fails man, when skills, abilities, knowledge, status, wealth, cannot save man; that is when God’s ability is at its peak. So, when we say that this year has really been sweet, we mean that despite the things we've been through, despite our weakness, and I am not just talking about COVID-19, I am talking about personal issues people have faced, either be

LET'S CROSS OVER!

-
Image
Have you ever embarked on a journey where you did not have to cross anything? It could be crossing the road to get to the bus stop or you are in your car and need to move to the other side of the road? Life is a journey; we all know that. At different points in our lives there would always be advancements. No one wants to be static/stagnated. You need to be intentional and determined to make it to the end of our journey.  One day Jesus told his disciples in Mark 4:35-41 “Let's cross to the other side of the Lake”. What does the other side mean? It signifies advancements, growth, opportunities for improvement in life, and miracles. Unfortunately, many people are afraid or unwilling to cross over. There is more to life than what you may be seeing now. On the other side, you allow Jesus to take full charge and control over your life. It is a pace where you are no longer a slave to sin. The storms of life may arise as seen in the verse 37, which may want you to go back or make you

WE DO NOT LIVE TO HIDE

-
Image
The book of Proverbs chapters 28 and 29 talk a lot about the righteous and the wicked, and their influence in various circumstances of life. For instance, Proverbs 28 verse 28 tells us that “when wicked rise men hide themselves, when they perish the righteous increase”. You know most of the rulers we have in our world today are unrighteous and they love to see the people hide themselves. They love to see the people scramble under their tables, looking for shelter, trying to save themselves even while suffering. They love to see the people beg them and cry for their own rights. This is the situation of many nations today. People suffer hunger and lack but they cannot talk, lest they suffer more harm. But we do not live to hide. We live to stand up against ungodliness. The scripture also says that when they perish the righteous increase. Truly the Lord does not desire the death of a sinner. So, we may not outrightly pray that ungodly leaders should die because God desires that they live

THERE IS DELIVERANCE!

-

The world is currently in a state of disarray, and this is not a peculiar to a country or continent as most people might think. The entire world seems to be going through changing times and difficult ones are that. What does the word of God tell us about perilous times like this? The question we should always ask ourselves is, what is my place as a child of God in these trying times?  Recently in my home country Nigeria, we experienced horrific events. Lives were lost, blood was shed in many places, people scrambling and wondering what next to do. 2 Peter 2: 9 says “The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations I reserve the unjust until the day of judgment to be punished”. Yes, there is deliverance, there is salvation, and it is only in the name of the Lord Jesus shall we be saved.  The Bible also tells us that the name of the Lord is a strong tower the righteous runs into it and is safe. This was what Noah did when he entered the Ark with his family. Jesus is that Ark,

MANAGING YOUR LIFE'S PROJECT

-

PMI (Project Management Institute) simply defines a project as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.  Therefore, we understand that project management involves all the processes put in place and carried out to ensure successful delivery of project expectations within the timeframe. Many "beautiful" projects have failed today, while others are on their way to hit the rock because of lack of proper management. This is why we study project management to learn the best practices on how to be successful in our endeavors. It is also imperative not to think of a project as building or road constructions, rockets, software packages, etc. The simple act of waking up in the morning and going to work is a project. Now this is the point where we sip a cup of lemon juice🍹 to pause 😊. YOUR LIFE IS A PROJECT ! Sadly, this is one project people do not bother to manage. We spend billions preparing and working on projects, that we forget about our ow

OUR REDEEMER IN THE WILDERNESS

-
Image
There comes a time in our lives when it seems like we are living in a very dry land. We are so thirsty to drink clean water and be refreshed in this life full of many troubles. In fact, sometimes, it feels like we're actually choking from the challenges that face us everyday. This feeling leads many to depression and even suicide in some cases. This is the wilderness of life, and one deception the enemy brings to a man is to make him feel like he's alone in that wilderness and no other person has the kind of problems he has. I had a time like that when I felt other people were lucky and happy. I was even in the campus fellowship and seeing the way some of the brethren would sing and dance made me think all was well with them and it deepened my frustration. Thanks to God for His deliverance. The bible explains how God redeems us and makes our life anew. To redeem is to repay, to save, to recover. The latter is very essential and this is why God is so interested in it. Isaiah 43
