How To Solve Your Problems

Thu, 16 Dec 2021

‘The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things.’ John 14:26

First, listen to the Holy Spirit within you. He will constantly remind you of God’s plan and show you how to carry it out. He will ‘teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.’ (John 14:26 NKJV) What has God’s Word instructed you to do? Have you done it yet? Obedience is the doorway to blessing.

Second, spend time with God in prayer daily: ‘In the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion.’ (Psalm 27:5 KJV) Originally a tent, a ‘pavilion’ came also to be a private chamber in a palace, so well fortified that, even if an enemy found it, they couldn’t penetrate it. All hell could have been breaking loose and it didn’t make a difference; in the secret place there was peace. Are you letting things that don’t really matter overwhelm you? Are you upset over things that should be dismissed as trivial? Get alone with God and let Him restore your perspective.

Third, never be too proud to seek advice and assistance. The Bible says those of us who are strong ought to bear the burdens of the weak (see Romans 15:1). There are times when we need to lift others, and times when we need to be lifted. Jesus healed a woman who had been bowed down by sickness for eighteen years and ‘could in no way raise herself.’ (Luke 13:11 NKJV)

Sometimes you need help because you can’t help yourself. David understood this, and he turned to the men of Issachar because they ‘had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.’ (1 Chronicles 12:32 NKJV) God has provided help—reach for it!

Look For The Hand Of God In ‘All Things’

Wed, 15 Dec 2021

‘Who works all things according to the counsel of His will.’ Ephesians 1:11

God can make the wrong decisions of the people around you to work in your favour. So instead of looking for someone to blame, try to see the hand of God at work in your situation. Joseph discovered three things:

(1) When God wants you in a palace, nobody can keep you in a prison.

(2) Your future isn’t in the hands of others; it’s in the hands of God.

(3) Your God-given assignment in life doesn’t call for the cooperation or approval of everyone, but it does require the cooperation of one person—you.

Joseph’s brothers made a wrong decision by resenting him. Potiphar’s wife made a wrong decision by falsely accusing him. And the butler made a wrong decision by turning his back on him. But God did the right thing by him! He arranged every step Joseph took, all the way to the palace. After years apart, Joseph stood face-to-face with those brothers who had treated him so badly, and said, ‘You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.’ (Genesis 50:20 NIV)

Try to understand this: the purposes of God will eventually overcome the plans of men. No one can prevent God from using you, blessing you, and giving you success, except you. So keep your heart and your attitude right! ‘He chose us in advance, and He makes everything work out according to His plan. God’s purpose was that we… who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God.’ (Ephesians 1:11–12 NLT)

So look for the hand of God in ‘all things’.

Keep Your Spiritual Priorities In Place

Tue, 14 Dec 2021

‘We must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.’ Hebrews 2:1

Your highest priority should always be your relationship with God and fulfilling His will for your life. Don’t let that priority ‘drift’. A sobering illustration of this occurs in Scripture. A prophet pretended to be a soldier who was given custody of an important prisoner. He claimed he was told, ‘If by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’ (1 Kings 20:39 NKJV) In spite of the warning, he said he allowed his prisoner to escape because he had other jobs to do. ‘“While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” Then the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.” (1 Kings 20:40 NKJV) The prophet then revealed the king had judged himself!

Keeping your spiritual priorities in place is your responsibility and no one else’s. If you don’t do it, you will pay a high price. ‘But I pray each morning,’ you say. That’s good, but do you take time to listen to God before you rush into your day? Some of us have deleted from our Bibles and our thoughts those Scriptures that command us to ‘wait on God’.

There is a work going on in your life right now. You may not be fully aware of it, but without it you will never be qualified to handle what God has in mind for you. The Bible says, ‘Jesus often withdrew… and prayed.’ (Luke 5:16 NIV) Spending time with God is the price you pay for hearing from Him and doing His will. Spiritually speaking, there is no shortcut to any place that’s worth going.

Caring Means Getting Involved

Mon, 13 Dec 2021

‘We are all parts of the body of Christ.’ Ephesians 4:25

Many people have no one who loves them enough to tell them the truth. That’s because it’s easier to say nothing when others are messing up. But it’s not the loving thing to do!

The Bible says, ‘Giving an honest answer is a sign of true friendship.’ (Proverbs 24:26 CEV) Usually we know what needs to be said, but fear keeps us from saying it. However, if you knew the brakes on a car weren’t functioning properly, would you allow a loved one to drive it? No? Well, in a similar vein, Paul writes, ‘If someone in your group does something wrong, you who are spiritual should go to that person and gently help make him right again.’ (Galatians 6:1 NCV) That’s what ‘spiritual’ people do!

More often than not, when an issue arises that might cause tension, it’s glossed over to preserve the peace. We don’t want to ruffle any feathers, so it never gets resolved. Here is how Paul addresses this: ‘Stop telling lies. Tell each other the truth, because we all belong to each other in the same Body.’ (Ephesians 4:25 NCV)

Now let’s be clear here. Frankness doesn’t give you licence to be rude and say whatever you want. Thoughtless words can wound people. ‘Never use harsh words when you correct an older man… talk to him as if he were your father. Talk to younger men as if they were your brothers, older women as if they were your mothers, and younger women as if they were your sisters.’ (1 Timothy 5:1–2 GWT)

Bottom line: when a difficult issue comes up, caring means getting involved in an honest and loving way.

Coping With Crises (2)

Sun, 12 Dec 2021

‘Keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.’ Philippians 1:9

When you find yourself in a crisis, having the right attitude makes the difference between despair and determination. Dr Jeffrey Rossman offers these six steps:

(1) Look for ways to find meaning. Resilient people use their experience to help others. ‘[God] comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them.’ (2 Corinthians 1:4 NCV)

(2) Examine your priorities. ‘Teach us to use wisely all the time we have.’ (Psalm 90:12 CEV) How would you like to spend your time differently now? Who would you most like to spend it with? How can you use your strengths in the service of what is important to you? If you had only a year to live, what conversations would you want to have? What kind of person would you want to be?

(3) Believe you can bounce back. A crucial aspect of resilience is faith in your ability to cope. Even if you have the practical skills to deal with the issue at hand, unless you believe in your emotional flexibility, you will waiver.

(4) Get moving. Physical exercise boosts your energy and mood. It reinforces your ability to take charge of your health and well-being.

(5) Step out of your comfort zone. ‘Keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.’ Learn a new language or computer program; begin a project at home or work. Embracing the unfamiliar strengthens your confidence and capacity to handle new situations. The more you require of yourself, the more resilient you will become.

(6) Clear the weeds that are choking your optimism. When you start thinking pessimistic or cynical thoughts, step back and reframe your perspective by looking for concrete steps to solve the problem.

Hope you are running with the message too

well, I think modesty is the hallmark of life I suppose.

Thank God for the gift of life dear. ......and I am grateful for mine too.

Congratulations dear.

Elitefosa:
Is this a real life story sire?

could be. But I copied it from our old student alumni platform....,but it's indeed a lesson of life to hold unto I think.

Happy weekend.

......and yet, we are not grateful to God in Africa!

Lord I'm grateful.

*This will blow your mind*...

_Meeting an *old class mate,* we had not seen each other for about *30 years.* The Lord has been kind to me._
_When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, *he was looking simple.* He wore simple *Ankara attire.* I felt touched._
_He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it._
_We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine._

_I told him I will drop him home in my brand new *Range Rover* and I pointed it to him._
_He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, *a 2001 Honda Accord*._

_I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, *to show off my success and affluence to him,* while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him._

_He drove to Parkview where I lived. *He looked impressed with my home.* I had taken a heavy mortgage. *In fact I was heavily in debt.* We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans... He looked at me and smiled._

_He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had. *“Fingers are not all equal”,* I thought to myself...I was lucky. I worked in a good place._

_Two weeks later, we went to see him in Kitisuru my wife and I. She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house. I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college. We saw the Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference._

_It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly._

_Lunch was well served. His wife called him Baba Gweth._

_During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. *He told me he owned the company.* He also owned the estate._

_I did not know when I called him sir... I was in awe of him too._

_I had learnt a lesson in humility, A big one. *Appearances are deceptive.* He noticed my discomfort._

_Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!_

_Indeed *Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence*!_

_Adjust your perception towards others._
_God bless you as *you read, learn and take a good step of change*...

Have a pleasant day.

Coping With Crises (1)

Sat, 11 Dec 2021

‘When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path.’ Psalm 142:3

How you handle a crisis can determine whether you end up feeling overwhelmed or come out stronger. Dr Jeffrey Rossman suggests five ways to do it:

(1) Acknowledge your feelings. David said, ‘When my spirit was overwhelmed… You knew my path.’ God already knows how you feel, and stifling your emotions just saps your energy, leaves you tense, depressed, and slows the healing process.

(2) Confide in someone. That doesn’t mean pouring your heart out to everybody and anybody; it means opening up to those who love and care about you. The Bible says, ‘A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity.’ (Proverbs 17:17 AMPC) Numerous studies have confirmed the power of social support to help us through crises and stay healthy.

(3) Start a journal or a blog. Writing about a traumatic event is a way of letting it out. It minimises your chances of becoming sick or depressed; the more you write, the more your negative responses to the memory diminish.

(4) Refuse to play the blame game: ‘It’s the other person’s fault,’ or ‘The doctor botched the procedure,’ or ‘The boss never gave me a chance.’ Blame-shifting makes others responsible for your pain, and more often than not, it results in lingering grudges that prolong your misery. Let go of toxic bitterness and judgment. Stop feeling like a doormat; you can forgive while taking steps to make yourself less vulnerable next time.

(5) Forgive yourself. Surprise—you’re human like everybody else! Acknowledge you made a mistake, ask God for forgiveness, then forgive yourself and move on. God’s Word says when He forgives, He says, ‘I will not remember your sins.’ (Isaiah 43:25 ESV) Neither should you.

Heman and Jeduthun

Fri, 10 Dec 2021

‘With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord.’ 1 Chronicles 16:41

There is a good chance you have never heard of these two men; they’re among the Bible’s more inconspicuous characters. In the wonderful worship choirs of King David, they were appointed to give thanks. Heman and Jeduthun were under the king’s authority (see 1 Chronicles 25:6). It was literally their job.

And it’s your job too! You’re under the authority of the King of Kings who commands you to ‘be thankful’ (Colossians 3:15 NIV), ‘offer to God thanksgiving’ (Psalm 50:14 NKJV), ‘come before His presence with thanksgiving’ (Psalm 95:2 NKJV), ‘enter into His gates with thanksgiving’ (Psalm 100:4 NKJV), and ‘in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.’ (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV)

‘We worship God by means of His Spirit and rejoice in our life in union with Christ Jesus. We do not put any trust in external ceremonies.’ (Philippians 3:3 GNT) Instead we rely on what Jesus has done for us and are intensely grateful to Him. Have you ever been so moved that you sprang into spontaneous worship? Nothing is more thrilling. You will never know what you’re missing if you don’t praise your Creator with your every fibre. Sing, lift up your hands, cry out, laugh, whatever… if you do it in a spirit of praise, thanksgiving, and gratefulness, God will love it. Plus, thanksgiving leads to better physical, emotional, and mental health. The Creator of your soul is a master psychologist. He knows that thanksgiving is not only appropriate but therapeutic. It’s hard to be thankful and at the same time be grumpy, critical, or ill tempered.

Righteousness2:
The Word of GOD, the Holy Bible says clearly that the wages of sin is Death.

The Word of GOD clearly says Fornicators , adulterers and Unrighteous folks will not see Heaven.
1Corithians 6:9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Pope says it is not a serious sin.
These are the Last of the Last Moments. The foot soldiers and false Prophet of the antichrist are being revealed!

Watch and Pray that you will not be caught in their web of deceits and Delusion.

If you are engaging in sex outside Marriage, it is not Dating! It is Fornication! it is Evil. It is a terrible sin and will destroy your soul in Hell.

Immorality of any kind is Evil. Fornication, adultery, beastiality, homosexuality, lesbianism,etc. It is Sin and will Destroy your soul in Hell.

Righteousness2 is making more sense here than the Pope. Believe Pope at your own peril.

Do not say I do not warn you.

Jesu!

Use Your Key

Thu, 9 Dec 2021

‘Blessed are the people who know how to praise You.’ Psalm 89:15

To open a locked door, you need the right key. It’s the ‘how-to’ that enables you to get inside and get what you need. Praise is like a key that enables us to come into God’s presence. ‘Those who have learned to acclaim You… walk in the light of Your presence.’ (Psalm 89:15 NIV) Praise isn’t simply a reaction to coming into God’s presence; it does much more. It opens the door through which God enters your life and goes to work on your behalf. In other words, praise brings God’s presence along with His direct intervention.

The name Judah means ‘praise the Lord’, and when the twelve tribes of Israel travelled, Judah led the way (see Judges 20:18). On one occasion when Judah’s enemies arrayed against them, Jehoshaphat, their king, sent a choir to the front line ahead of the army to sing the praises of God. It may sound like a strange strategy, but it brought a supernatural victory. The Bible says, ‘As soon as they began singing, the Lord confused the enemy camp… Then they turned against each other.’ (2 Chronicles 20:22–23 CEV)

Praise is an expression of faith; an affirmation that you believe God is in control of the situation. The Bible speaks of ‘the sacrifice of praise.’ (Hebrews 13:15 NKJV) That means you must praise God even when you don’t feel like it. When it doesn’t come naturally, you must choose to do it anyway.

Nehemiah said, ‘The joy of the Lord is your strength.’ (Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV) Praise can heal your emotions and lift the weight of negativity you’re under. Go ahead—try it! Use the key of praise!

How To Discover Your Vision (5)

Wed, 8 Dec 2021

‘Where there is no vision, the people perish.’ Proverbs 29:18

From 1923 until 1955, Robert Woodruff presided over the Coca-Cola Company. He wanted the beverage to be made available to every American serviceman around the world for five cents, no matter how much it cost the company. That’s a bold goal! But it was modest compared to the big picture he saw in his mind’s eye. In his lifetime, Woodruff wanted everybody in the world to taste Coca-Cola.

Observe three things: (1) Vision starts within. When you look inside yourself, what do you see? You can’t buy, beg, or borrow vision; you must look to what God has implanted in you and draw on your innate gifts and desires. What do you feel passionate about? Think constantly about? Pray about? What would you be willing to sacrifice everything for? Your most persistent desire will point you to your destiny.

(2) Vision draws on your history. Moses grew up in the comfort of Pharaoh’s palace hearing the cries of Hebrew slaves. That experience prepared him to lead the exodus. Vision isn’t some mystical quality that materialises out of a vacuum; it’s interwoven with your past and the history of the people around you. If your vision is born of God, it won’t just benefit you, it will benefit others too.

(3) Vision attracts resources. One of the hallmarks of vision is that it acts like a magnet—attracting, challenging, and uniting people. It rallies finances and other resources, and the greater the vision, the more potential winners it must attract. The more challenging the vision, the harder the participants will fight to achieve it. So ask God to give you a vision for your life, and watch how it all comes together

How To Discover Your Vision (4)

Tue, 7 Dec 2021

‘He saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”’ Acts 10:3

When God wants to change the status quo, He often starts by giving someone a vision. That’s what broke a centuries-old racial barrier and allowed the Gentiles to hear the Gospel for the first time. Did you know you can be a Christian and be prejudiced? Yes, you can be a believer and be biased towards people you don’t know or understand because you’ve spent your life avoiding them and making judgments about them.

Jesus told His disciples, ‘This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.’ (Matthew 24:14 NKJV) And Peter was present when Jesus said it. But either he wasn’t listening, or he didn’t like what he heard. Back then, the divide between Jews and Gentiles was similar to the mistrust many British people felt towards German nationals living in the UK during World War II.

God told Peter to go to the house of Cornelius and preach the Gospel—to a Gentile, a person Peter considered ‘unclean’. Prejudice is the product of a closed mind. It’s contempt prior to honest investigation. It’s pride that must be humbled. So how did God change Peter’s heart? It required two different visions! God gave Cornelius a vision in which He told him to invite a Jewish preacher named Peter into his home to preach the gospel. And at the same time, He gave Peter a vision in which He basically told him, ‘If I accept someone, don’t you dare reject them!’

The truth is, when God wants to change things, He starts the process by giving someone a vision—and that someone could be you!
