How ‘Hungry’ Are You?

Wed, 17 Jul 2019

‘He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.’ Psalm 107:9 NIV

Successful people are often just people who were a little hungrier and thirstier for success than the rest of us. What we desired, they pursued. Napoleon was born in poverty. His classmates made fun of him in school. But he devoted himself to his books, excelled in his studies, and became the brightest student in class. Before his life was over, he conquered much of the world!

If a seedling tree has to fight its way up through rocks to get to sunlight and air, then wrestle with storms and frost to survive, you can be sure of one thing: its root system will be strong and its timber resilient. Nature itself teaches us that it’s impossible to succeed without going through adversity. If you’re successful and haven’t experienced hardship, you can be sure someone else has experienced it for you. And if you’re experiencing adversity without succeeding, there’s a good chance somebody else will succeed because of the price you paid. Either way, there’s no achievement without adversity.

The acid test of character is determined by what it takes to discourage you and make you quit. Dr G. Campbell Morgan tells of a man whose shop burned to the ground in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Next morning he arrived at work carrying a table which he set up amid the charred ruins. On it he placed a sign that read, ‘Everything lost except wife, children, and hope. Business as usual tomorrow morning.’

Solomon said, ‘Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings.’ (Proverbs 22:29 AMPC) You say you want to succeed? The question is—how ‘hungry’ are you?

Choose Your Battles Wisely

Tue, 16 Jul 2019

‘If you follow this advice, and if God commands you to do so, then you will be able to endure the pressures.’ Exodus 18:23 NLT

A good general knows it’s a mistake to try and fight on too many fronts at once; that when you’re ‘spread out so thin’ you’re vulnerable! And the same is true in life. To avoid undue stress, you must refuse to let every little thing upset you. In other words, choose your battles wisely. Don’t make mountains out of molehills.

Before you devote time, energy, and emotion to an issue, ask yourself how important it is, and how much of your time, effort, and energy is appropriate. Try to discern what really matters and focus on those things. Learn the difference between major matters and minor matters.

Moses was becoming exhausted because he personally handled every problem, dispute, and crisis that arose among the Israelites. Perhaps he thought he had to do so, since he was the leader of the nation. But his father-in-law said to him, in essence, ‘You take care of the big things and leave the small stuff to someone else.’ He went on to say, ‘“If you follow this advice, and if God commands you to do so, you will be able to endure the pressures”…Moses listened to his father-in-law’s advice and followed his suggestions.’ (Exodus 18:23–24 NLT)

Stop and think about it: your life already has plenty of stress and strain, so why add more if you can avoid it? When you’re tempted to take on a ‘battle’, step back and decide if it’s worth it and what it will require from you. Don’t go to war when there are no spoils.

Approach God As A Child

Mon, 15 Jul 2019

‘Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.’ Matthew 18:3 NIV

Matthew writes: ‘The disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” He called a little child to Him, and placed the child among them. And He said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”’ (Matthew 18:1–3 NIV) To do great things for God, you must approach Him with a childlike attitude.

You can learn a lot from watching little children. Wherever they are, they find a way to enjoy whatever they’re doing. They’re quick to forgive an offence. One moment they’re fighting over something, the next moment they’re playing happily together. And trusting comes easily to them. Your children don’t worry about mortgage payments, meals, or making ends meet because they implicitly trust that you will provide what they need.

What was Jesus teaching us?

(a) To have simple faith.

(b) To pray simple prayers.

(c) To be quick to repent.

(d) To reach regularly for God’s help.

(e) To believe that your heavenly Father is good and that ‘no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.’ (Psalm 84:11 KJV)

Plus, when you forgive children, they don’t run around feeling guilty and condemned. With this kind of simplicity in your relationship with God, you’ll find yourself growing spiritually and enjoying Him more than ever. And that should be your goal.

Ask God For A Strategic Plan

Sun, 14 Jul 2019

‘Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it.”’ Isaiah 30:21 NKJV

Jesus understood God’s strategic plan for His life—the redemption of humankind—and lived each day of His life in the light of it. At the end of His life He could pray, ‘I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.’ (John 17:4 NKJV)

Strategic planning is critical to success in any undertaking. And as a redeemed child of God, your strategy should come from God, otherwise pressures and people can take you in the wrong direction. Jesus could easily have been side-tracked by the demands of the crowd and the misguided thinking of His disciples. How did He avoid that? By nights spent in prayer, and predawn meetings with His Father seeking guidance.

Jesus lived by this principle: ‘The Son can do nothing by Himself. He does only what He sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does… I judge as God tells Me. Therefore, My judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the One who sent Me, not My own will.’ (John 5:19; 30 NLT)

When seeking a plan for your life, the first book you should read is the Bible. Don’t adopt someone else’s plan unless God told you to do the same thing, or you’ll end up frustrated. You ask, ‘You mean God has a strategy and a plan for my life and that He will reveal it to me?’

Yes.

‘Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it.”’

Keep Your Eyes On Jesus, Not People

Sat, 13 Jul 2019

‘Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”’ John 21:21 NLT

The Bible says, ‘Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow Me.” So the rumour spread among the community of believers that this disciple wouldn’t die. But that isn’t what Jesus said at all. He only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”’ (John 21:20–23 NLT)

When Peter asked Jesus, ‘What about him, Lord?’ he was referring to the apostle John, who enjoyed an especially close relationship with Christ. And Jesus basically said, ‘Get your eyes off John and keep them on Me. Follow Me and you can have a close relationship with Me too.’

People will disappoint you, just as you will disappoint them. But Jesus will never disappoint you if you keep your eyes on Him and follow Him. Even with the best of intentions people will give you poor advice, and you will give them poor advice. But Jesus won’t. He doesn’t merely know the way, He says, ‘I am the way.’ (John 14:6 NKJV)

He says, ‘He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.’ (John 8:12 NKJV) So the word for you today is about one of the most fundamental principles in Christian living: get your eyes off people and keep them on Jesus.

The South west, south east, and south south need to come together against the North. This is our only hope of defeating the long term Islamisation of Nigeria. Its a grand plan to hold power infinity in Nigeria. Tinubu and his friends just see their own cut and money in this power game. My yoruba friends join the other southern and middle belt family and we can win elections easily to defeat this purpose. DEMOCRACY IS A GAME OF NUMBERS......

Deal With The Stress In Your Life

Fri, 12 Jul 2019

‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Exodus 33:14 NKJV

Is life overwhelming you? You’re not alone. Moses, one of the greatest leaders in history, got so stressed out with the responsibilities he was carrying that he wanted to die.

You say, ‘Surely that wasn’t God’s will for him.’ You’re right. But it’s not enough to know God’s will, you’ve got to do things God’s way. Moses was working from early morning until late at night, six days a week, with no holidays and no time off. He was eating on the run, planning appointments, meeting deadlines, and seeing everybody who wanted to see him. And the people close to Moses were either too busy to notice, or too needy themselves to care that he was suffering from exhaustion.

But his father-in-law Jethro noticed it. ‘You are not doing this right. You will wear yourself out and these people as well. This is too much for you to do alone.’ (Exodus 18:17–18 GNT)

Fortunately, Moses found the answer. And it was in two parts:

(1) Delegate the work to qualified people and trust them to do it. The essence of good leadership is not about trying to do everything yourself, but getting it done through others. Or as nineteenth-century evangelist DL Moody said, ‘Instead of trying to do the work of ten people, get ten people to do the work.’

(2) Draw on God’s strength rather than your own. God told Moses, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ The word ‘rest’ means ‘inner peace, well-being, security, and confidence’. And God’s will is for you to live that way.

Be Wise; Don’t Compare!

Thu, 11 Jul 2019

‘But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves amongst themselves, are not wise.’ 2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV

Jesus said: ‘Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, “God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.” And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to Heaven, but beat his breast, saying, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other.’ (Luke 18:10–14 NKJV)

Whereas the Pharisee thought of himself as the best-dressed man in town, God saw his garments of self-righteousness as ‘filthy rags’ and rejected him (see Isaiah 64:6).

An unknown poet wrote: ‘I dreamed death came the other night and Heaven’s gates swung wide. With kindly grace an angel ushered me inside. And there to my astonishment stood folks I’d known on earth; some I’d judged and labelled as unfit or of little worth. Indignant words rose to my lips but never were set free; for every face showed stunned surprise—no one expected me!’

We are all saved by grace, not works (see Titus 3:5). We don’t get into Heaven based on our performance, but because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. That being true, don’t try to lift yourself up by putting someone else down. Don’t assume that you have the right to judge their character, heart motives, or spirituality. When you do that, the Bible says you are ‘not wise’.
