The Code Called Difference

MEDITATION

Malachi 3:18* "And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not."NIV

Point to ponder on: God will make a difference in your life to showcase to the world when you serve Him faithfully.

There was this devoted woman who would wake up by 4.30am and trekked miles to her Church every Sunday morning because she lives far away from the Church and owing to her poor financial state she chose to do this. She gave no excuses but consistently and diligently served God.

Consequently, her church organised a program to reward devoted workers in the church at one of their end of the year celebrations and this woman was presented a SUV as a gift. God who saw her devotion in secret rewarded her in public with a vehicle to make it easier for her to serve God better.

The almighty has said to make distinction between those who serve Him and those who don't. He proved it in the life of the woman mentioned above, I believe He has been proving it in your life because He has been faithful in this regard to me. Please, if you have been giving excuses, it is time to adjust. Don't allow your challenges to become barriers hindering you from serving the Lord. This woman did not allow her poor financial state to hinder her, rather, she forged ahead and gave her best. Remember, Psalm 126:
5 says, "They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing."(AMP) It wasn't convenient for the woman, God saw it and rewarded her labour of love here on earth. Be encouraged to serve more and let this scripture inspire you: "God is not unfair. He will not forget the work you did or the love you showed for him in the help you gave and are still giving to other Christians." (Hebrews 6:10- GNB)

On the whole, be assured that God is faithful and you are to serve Him faithfully not competing with anyone or doing eye service or living a double standard life. The LORD will make the world see the difference in your life that you are serving Him and ultimately, He will spare your life from hell (v.17). I pray the grace of our Lord Jesus be multiplied upon you to serve Him more in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy a blissful day.

The Missing Link

MEDITATION

Ecclesiastes 10:15 "The labor of fools wearies every one of them, because [he is so ignorant of the ordinary matters that] he does not even know how to get to town." AMP

Point to ponder on: Ignorance creates a missing link between your goal and its achievement.

A fool works in ignorance not because knowledge is unavailable but because he doesn't seek knowledge. A fool prefers his own ways and refuses to learn from others, hence he keeps repeating his error. We must continue learning until we depart from the planet earth in order to bridge the missing link created by ignorance  so that we can reach our goals in life. Right information is the missing link that makes the fools go weary.

Consequently, there are basic series of mistakes I found out people make when setting out to achieve goals:

1. Mis-targeting by setting objectives that are too low and don't allow enough correct motivation.

2. Severely underestimating what it will take in terms of actions, resources, money and energy to accomplish the target.

3. Spending too much time competing and not dominating their sector.

4. Underestimating the amount of adversity they will need to overcome in order to actually attain their desired goal.

Whatever goal you have set or about to set, don't underestimate anything, put the right energy, time and resources in place and give God His place for His grace to make things happen for your good. It will end in praise in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy a pleasant day.

Having an idea is not sufficient but acting on the idea, not later but now. Procrastination is a vision killer, don't give in to shifting the day you will do that thing without a reason beyond your control, now is the right time to act and not later. Act on your ideas now.

Greet each day with an understanding of accepting it as another opportunity for a fresh start or  new beginning or new horizon. Receive it with a heart of gratitude, look ahead with lessons from the past and great faith in today and great expectation for the future in all your endeavours. It can always get better when you reach out with freshness of a new day for a brand new opportunity to right the wrong, set new goals  and break new ground.

Grateful Heart

MEDITATION

Romans 8:37 "No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!"GNB

Point to ponder on: Jesus has given us victory over life challenges, we only activate it through prayers and praises.

Despite all that happened you were not shaken, moved or despaired, you have not given up and still standing, this calls for rejoicing. The challenges of life have not crushed you down, disappointment did not disarm your weapon of warfare, it calls for celebration. You were rescued from unseen battles at night and during the day and so many evil arrows did not hit you. Even in your mistakes and wrongs God always show you mercy and loving kindness. You made several trips within your house, and one of those trips involves visits to the bathroom where some ended their journey when they slumped and died but God has kept you alive. Sometimes you slipped on wet floor but you didn't lose your life through that. You traveled and returned safely. To you some prayers were not answered but little wonder did you know that it was still part of God's faithfulness to preserve your life and give you the best at the appropriate time. There are several breakthroughs, healings, blessings you received because of God's mercy. The devil wanted you to lose your faith in God during your trying times but instead you have grown in faith. However, you still have some pending things you want God to do for you as the year runs to an end, and that He will perfect according to His will. Now when you look at where you were and where you are now, if not for God you would have been consumed but God has always been your shield and the lifter of your head. Every thing you have received has been connected to the victory of the cross paid for by the one who loves you most- your saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, give God the best of your praises with a grateful heart, His love for you is everlasting. He will do more when you praise Him more.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His goodness.

Many sportsmen train in the gyms but only few become champions. Not all that went to school are successful in the real world, hence, it's not all about the training ground but about a desire to break new ground and writing your name in gold. The burning desire to be the best and number one becomes a vision, a dream that makes an ordinary sportsman go all out to make history and win a gold medal to become a Champion. Your path to success starts from that burning desire, a dream or a vision. Pursue it and I will see you at the top.

He is Willing If You Believe He Can

MEDITATION

Mark 1:40 "A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, if you are willing, you can make me clean." NIV

Point to ponder on: Jesus is willing if you believe He can solve your problems.

It is time to come to Him who can and will if you believe He can, and He will surely put smile on your pretty face. The man with leprosy believed Jesus could if He was willing and Jesus the compassionate saviour affirmed His willingness by touching him and spoke  two words over his life and his leprosy was cured (v.41-42).

Nobody touches people with leprosy because they were regarded as unclean and were to live outside the camp or city (Num. 5:1-4; 12:10-15). In fact, they can't  receive or return salutation because it involves embrace in the East but Jesus' compassion to touch, his love and power to heal illustrate his gracious dealing with human leprosy of soul and the taints of sin since the disease was regarded as punishment from God (2 Kings 5:7; 2 Chr. 26:20).
Leprosy was also regarded as the outward and visible sign of the innermost spiritual corruption.

Consequently, you must come to Jesus knowing that He can and always willing to transform lives. The scriptures says, "But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]." Hebrews 11:6-AMP

Therefore, whatever your case may be today, Jesus is willing to touch your life and turn things around. He wants to take away every innermost spiritual corruption, stigma, shame, barrenness, failure, and whatever that is keeping you far from being who you were created to be. It's time to submit to him and sincerely ask for help. I strongly believe that His touch and word over your life will transform you wholly in Jesus name. When a leper is cured he is restored back to live within the city, hence, every thing that has taken you out of your rightful place of dominion will be dealt with and you shall be restored fully into your place of dominion in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy a great day.
