LET'S CROSS OVER!

-

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 afraid like the disciples were. But with Jesus in your boat, you are assured of safety. He will rebuke the wind and speak peace to every storm that may be raging right now. He only needs you to have faith in Him.

For another category of people, this invitation is for you to launch deeper and grow in your relationship with the Lord. Enough of bread and butter, but it is time eat hard meats of the Word of God. it is time to deepen your study life, prayer, obedience, faith, and every aspect of your walk with God. It is also a time to be alone with God and concentrate on things that matter most in life (Mk 6:31). Many things are important but not all things require the same level of attention. This is a call to refocus your priorities.

Crossing over to the other side is also relevant to other areas of your life; you career, education, ministry, marriage etc. You need courage to take steps starting a new course or aim for a higher qualification, to either improve your business or start up a new one, to strive for excellence at your workplace, and in whatever your hand finds to do.

This invitation encompasses all areas of a man's life. Jesus is waiting to cross the road with you, and He is ready to carry you through the hurdles of life. Only trust Him.  

 

You need to have Jesus in the boat of your life and let Him be the Captain of your destiny. Say this prayer with all your heart

"Lord Jesus. I invite you into my life to be my LORD and Savior. Please cleanse me by Your Blood, delete my name from the book of death and write it in the Book of Life. I receive the Grace to live for You and serve You, in Jesus' Name, Amen".

YOU ARE THE SACRIFICE

  Two young men brought their offerings to the Lord one day. One was a farmer, and the other reared animals. They were brothers from same parents. They had worked so hard, and in the process of time, they made this offering to the Lord. But the Lord accepted one, and rejected the other. WHY? This has always been the question in the minds of many people. This is the story of Cain and Abel. Ah yes! It's very popular, so it's nothing new. We've heard, read, and spoken about it since when we were kids. We were even told in the children's ministry that Cain brought decayed and putrefied crops, so he was the one who got rejected. And then Abel brought a very fat and good looking ram as sacrifice, so God was so pleased that He couldn't find any fault in Abel's offering. The mistake we've always made whenever we read this story in Genesis 4 is to always condemn Cain and applaud Abel, and never look at ourselves. In fact, for some persons, they've outgrown this s

WE DO NOT LIVE TO HIDE

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

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
