I like talking off point. But as you go to church to pray today, just remember that God doesn't repent or change his mind. So, your prayer is actually worthless. Also I want to remind you that God is not preparing you for anything, you are just suffering. grin
God doesn’t change his mind on things he already declares and he makes his mind when he need to. But He already said this

"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.“ - Isaiah 1:18

Who ever is ready to be obedient, he/she will eat the fruit of the land and will experience the favour of God.

Prayer means to talk to God as a way of admonition, request and ask for forgiveness.
It isn’t to change his will. Not man can change the will of God. Moreso God doesn’t not weave our future without our consent(anyone who says so is lying). But God is not shocked with any outcome, he knows they could occur before it occurred and more so he knows why.

Can one truly hear the voice of God while making decisions or when you make an intuitive decision and it works out for you then that becomes God's voice?

One love bro. When I was small I asked my mama, does god change his mind? She replied no, saying God is omnipotent and omnipresent and he knows the end from the beginning. So I asked her then what is the point of praying? There was an awkward silence after the question then she said I should go and play with my friends grin
you should also realize this world is govern by law and principles.
Moses destiny was to lead the Israelites but his anger prevented him.
Just because there is a supposed destined end doesn't mean we can't alter that end with our attitude and behavior.
Remember that king that was suppose to die but prayed to God and years were added to his years?

Only those who who has the spirit of discernment can know the things of God and the things not of God.
It is more like diagnosis of the reason why something happens. It is a long Christian journey and it is clearly through the understanding of the spirit one can know the difference between what’s divine and what is just natural.
A lot of Christian are being deceived on this topic daily.

Still asking myself this question.
How can I maximize my potentials?
Am good at doing so many things but the one I know how to do best is music.
In 20mins,i can compose 3 beautiful songs. I even released a track in year 2014 that reveived alot of positive reviews in my hood but along the line, I just decide to give up.
The thing is, I get frustrated easily, so easily.
I really want to focus on this music issue but looking at how populated the music industry is, and the extreme limited resources I have, to even try dey fear me


there's a difference between a musician and an artiste most of artiste bout there aren't too good musicians ....I don't know much about it but get enough dough from your source of income get more than enough to sustain you when your ready take time off probably a year and give your music a try pull all strings get all the connections....if It works out good if it doesn't you know you gave it your all

or you do it as a part-time work while making music and when your there you know which to drop.

what I'm trying to say is Just try it would pain you in the future if you left that part of you with a comma...

Also pray all the best Bro

The Will of God for you is that you should have and maintain an intimate and eternal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, which then get you empowered to have dominion over everything He created.

It is an aberration to be under the yoke of anything negative. You are meant to be a king and a priest to God, and should rule your world. God is Benevolent, and is ready to release unto you all that is needed to live a life of true royalty.

Don't settle for less, don't embrace a life of mediocrity. Don't allow the devil rule you. Don't allow your flesh and desires rule you. You are meant to have dominion over money, and not the other way round. You are meant to be in charge of your health and shouldn't be tortured by sickness. You are meant to command demons and get curses flee in fear, even at the sound of your voice. It is an error to be tormented by negative addictions (be it drug addiction, porn and masturbation addiction, illicit sex, telling lies, etc). You are meant to tame your body and should live above sin and lust.

Don't settle for less, don't embrace a life of mediocrity. Listen, Anything other than God's will for your life is mediocrity. If you choose a man/woman contrary to the Will of God for you, you have simply settled for less (irrespective of how beautiful or handsome the person is)! If you make a decision contrary to God's Will for you, irrespective of how lucrative it might be, you have actually opted for mediocrity.

If you continue in sin and iniquities, you have settled for less, and won't be able to maximize your full potentials on earth. Unfortunately, many people are still in this category, and you reading this might be one of them.

If you are yet to FULLY surrender your life to Jesus Christ, it means where you are in life currently is not God's perfect Will for you. You must then make the decision to embrace Jesus genuinely and start a relationship with Him in spirit and in truth. God wants an intimate relationship with you, and not religion.

Simply call upon the name of Jesus anywhere you are, embrace Him as your LORD and SAVIOR, and ask Him to help you serve Him in spirit and in truth.
How can you say that we he connected to God(Totality of Existence) through Jesus(a fictitious character). Does that even sound reasonable at all.

Is there any industry that is not overpopulated? My advice: focus on one talent and be excellent in it. Never settle for mediocrity.

I don't believe in "master of all trades". I believe in specialisation because that is where excellence can easily be achieved.

When you make it in music, your money will work for you in other areas. I wish you the best.

Ur prayer will be answered if u pray ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. 1 John 5:14-15 says:
.
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.”

The saturated industry is of negligible relevance to you.... the Sky is so wide to allow all birds fly.

If truly you're passionate about music and that you're rightly creative with it then, focus on your uniqueness, it will make you stand out.

Canally Motivating but not spiritually inspiring. Any teaching without direct quotes from Christ nor his Apostles is nothing but one of the secular motivational teaching.

I prefer my happiness and contentment in God-ordained mediocrity.
