Find Your Strength-2

*MEDITATION*

Exodus 31:3-5 "And I have filled him with the Spirit of God in skill, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, to make artistic designs for work with gold, with silver, and with bronze, and with cutting and setting stone, and with cutting wood, to work in all kinds of craftsmanship." NET

Point to ponder on: To become productive, find your strength and then find someone who needs your strength.

God anoints with required capacity for diverse crafts. He endows mankind with ability for creativity. The origin of all craft works is from the Spirit of God. God released His Spirit on Bezaleel, a divine endowment for creativity which he was to train others and from there the craftsmanship spread from proteges whom He mentored to another and from one apprentice to another to this present age.  This clearly shows that God is so concerned about human race and His pattern of things for the planet earth. The big idea of God for creation of human as co-creator is revealed in the divine endowment such as talents, skills or gifts given to individuals. This peculiarity in us showcases the strength in every individual. The interests in us coupled with our personalities are deliberate for us to continue from where God stopped in the creation story so that we as co-creator can continue the work of our creator who is creative and has created us to be creative in our individual unique way. Our responsibility is to find our selling point which defines our strength. Now the big question is, what is your selling point? What is your strength? Your productivity lies in finding your strength just as Bazeleel discovered that God's anointing upon him was not to preach but to be a craftsman for the nation of Israel and to reproduce himself in many. We all need to find our strength and find someone who needs our strength. Then life will be fun and productive for us all.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Have a blissful day.

Find Your Strength 1

*MEDITATION*

Philippians 4:13 "I am able ◄to cope with/​to handle every situation because Christ gives me the strength to do that." T4T

Point to ponder on: Your ability to handle life challenges lies in the strength Christ produces in you.

The ability to do, cope or handle anything comes from the strength you have for that specific thing. Therefore, it is vital that we discover our strength to harness our productivity in every area of our endeavours. Many people are strengthened by different means: drugs, occultic power, money, mental power and spiritual(godly) power,etc. But for a true believer our strength is derived from Christ. We must be honest to ourselves that we are not wired for everything and not called for everything. God wants us to be interdependent so that we can see one another as precious and valuable to help us reach our peaks in life. To ignore this is to set ourselves up for a fall. The richest man in the world today needs people to buy into his ideas and pay for his products and services. People contribute to his riches, so you see that no matter what he creates to solve a problem some people pay for it and in so doing he gets richer. His productivity is in the area of his strength.

To handle difficult people or situation requires strength in that area. The scripture says, "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." -Pro.24:10

The result we produce in dealing with people is based on our strength in handling and managing people. Consequently, since Christ is the power and wisdom of God for us(1Cor.1:24), we stand a better chance to deal with every situation by His strength or what I will call enabling. Therefore, when you realize you are performing lesser than required in a specific area in you life, check your strength level spiritually, mentally, physically, psychologically and socially. Above all, when Christ strengthens us for a task and not that we are forcing ourselves into it, progress is guaranteed without stress. Christ in you cannot be defeated or limited in His will. Find your strength.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Do have a pleasant day.

Success by Design-26

The journey to success begins with a decision. You must be clear about what you want to accomplish. Clarity is essential to your vision if you really desire success. You should be able to write it out clearly what your target is so that you won't settle for just anything close to it or what looks like it, but rather go for the real thing. After clarity is established, then the journey to accomplishment can continue with hard work and everything required to accomplish your goal in life.

Abundant Life

*MEDITATION*

John 10:10 "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." AMP

Point to ponder on: Jesus came so that you can enjoy life and live in the overflow from the abundant life He offers you.

Jesus steps into our lives to give us back what we lost in Adam. A quality life that has no limit-abundant life. But first, He had to deal with our major adversary who came to steal, kill and destroy by destroying his(devil's) works through the victory of the cross and His blood. "...The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]." 1 John 3:8

Consequently, abundant life is a gift to those who believe and accept Jesus as their Lord and saviour. It is important that you know that Jesus wants you to have a quality life-to enjoy life of no limit and live in the overflow. He didn't come so that you can have average life, rise today and fall tomorrow, but an abundant life that includes all you need for life and godliness. Beloved, living the abundant life is living life to the fullest. It is reigning in life through Christ because of God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness. "...how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ." Rom.5:17

You were saved to reign in life because you have been given abundant life in Christ Jesus. Henceforth, His grace will make you reign(rule, have dominion) in every area of life in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His grace.

The Sound Of Abundance

*MEDITATION*

1 Kings 18:41-42 "And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees."AMP

Point to ponder on: Make that sound of abundance from the Holy Spirit your prophecy.

Every prophetic utterance  you have heard that is to push you forward is coming to reality in Jesus name. The sound commanding you to move forward, succeed, be healed, be delivered, be favoured, be transformed, be converted is becoming your reality in Jesus name. What sound have you been hearing in your spirit man concerning your destiny? Elijah heard the sound of abundance of rain, hence he went to pray to enforce it into manifestation. What have you done with the sound you have been hearing in your spirit man from January till December? What you hear is what you react or respond to. In this season, what are you hearing from the spirit realm concerning your life and destiny? What sound is coming from the Word of God to you right now? 

Consequently, you must realise that as the sound from the Holy Spirit comes alive in you, your adversary the devil will also want to act up to make sound of discouragement, doubt and fear. But you know his trick already so you are better equipped to ignore him. Pay attention to the sound of new things coming ahead for you from the LORD and enforce it by declaring it until it manifests. The sound from the Word of God is to transform your life, so key into it. As Elijah heard the sound of heavy rain, you will hear the sound of good news and abundance in your finance in Jesus name. Every dryness in your life, business, work, ministry, finance, marriage, academics will get the attention of the most high today and He will send His Word for your transformation. The LORD will open up your spiritual ears to hear Him clearly for you to act promptly in Jesus name. The Word of God for you today is 'there is the sound of abundance,' and abundance will manifest on every side for you this season in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Have a blessed day.

Success by Desing-25

What you desire is a prize which is the reward for success but to attain that you must be ready to pay the price to get the prize and your price is unrelenting service to God and humanity. Whether you are producing a product or rendering a service, they are both service to humanity. The sure way to success is in your service to God and humanity. Your product meets the needs of the people and your service solves problems and you get your reward which is your prize, but your service pays the price.

Helping Others To Rise

*MEDITATION*

Joshua 1: 14b&15 "...You are to help your brothers until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land that your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise." NIV

Point to ponder on: Leadership is a platform to help others rise to attain success in life endeavours, use it well.

Whatever position you occupy as a leader God has placed you there not just to receive accolade, title and control your subordinates but for their benefits. He wants you to serve your followers, hence, He entrusted you with the responsibilities to oversee their welfare and enhance them to succeed fulfilling their purpose in life. God who places you over others will settle you, however, there are certain things He has accomplished in your life which He wants to see accomplished in your followers. He knows He can make you accomplish the task that is the reason He makes you their leader for you to see them as God sees them and not as they may be presently but as God wants them to be. Therefore, our duty as leaders is to first seek the good of our followers in the area God has established us so that they too can be established alike. A leader helps his followers to attain their place of rest(fulfilment , success) just as he has been helped by God through other leaders in his life. A leader is to first serve his followers leading them to succeed before he can comfortably relax to enjoy the reward of his own success. A leader is not successful until his followers are successful. However, to accomplish this great task and become successful as a leader you must be strong and courageous. God knew these qualities were needed by Joshua, as a result, He encouraged him repeatedly to be strong and courageous, even the Israelites also encouraged him to be strong and courageous. Therefore, as a leader your duty to your followers is to nurture to build them up until God gives them rest.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Do have a delightful day.
