Be intentional. That’s it. It sounds corny and cheesy, and even merely motivational at first. But it is the truth. Dreaming is not enough on its own. Hoping or wishing for it to happen on its own is in many cases an exercise in futility. You need to act with intention and with purpose. You […]
It may seem confusing; overwhelming and impossible. You may find yourself struggling for peace and for a mainatained authentic connection to God and His will for your life. You may find yourself waking up in the dead of night with your mind on overdrive; trying to work out solutions and a path for your future. And all of this quite frankly may be driving you insane.
John 3:36 says the following; “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” in the King James Version. Verse 16 of the same chapter says “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” In both, the simple message we often mess up with additions and conditions is this: for your salvation, all you ever need to do is believe.
Have you ever felt worthless? Like a failure in life and that you do not deserve to have great friends, an amazing job and a loyal and loving spouse? Often, we have a justifiable reason to feel this way. It could be an addiction you are failing to break or a bad relationship you keep going back to that screams at you that this is who you are-a broken, helpless failure who will never rise….
What if the biggest deception we see on television and mainstream media is not open idol worship? What if it is not all the ‘coincidental’ Illuminati references but something more subtle and sinister? Not that any of the above is justifiable, or tolerable. But what if even with all of that, there is a more
What is faith? Is it a feeling? Is it a state of mind? Or is it some intangible, other-dimension reality that we will really not be able to find words for?
As we reflect on the past year and look forward to this one, I hope we can identify moments and periods in time where we can really see when the hand of God moved in our lives and made a difference….
There is wisdom in having a vision and planning for the future. And if we look at our heroes of the faith, they all had a concrete idea of who they were living for and what they wanted to achieve….
If we are not proactive about what our priorities, key goals and aims for life are, we may be more likely to miss them.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Pause for a moment, to think and reflect about how crazy this statement actually
I realized recently, that no matter how good you are at your job, you will not be a good fit for every organization hiring for your role.
am not everyone else. They are not me.
Their life and experiences are theirs. Their success will not look the same as my success.
Therefore, I need not be swayed by what someone else has done to succeed.
In the desert, the children of Israel neither sowed nor reaped. Nor would it have made sense for them to do so, or pray for success is such.
With this in mind, does it make a lot of sense to pray and hope for individual blessing when your nation’s economy is evidently failing?
one day at a time, and at times, it was really frustrating to not be able to line all my ducks in a row. It was disappointing, to wake up one day and find hundreds of fish floating dead in my fish pond-killed by the very water that enables them to live. It was frustrating to see my projects stutter, only to crash and with that, know that a sizeable chunk of my funds was done for. And as I said earlier, it has been in many ways a hard year.
