THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE

How are you today? Hope all is well in your life.

Well, i just had a time to reflect on my life. There is always this saying, "We are in a race against time". We really have so much to do, so much to achieve in such a short time. We tend to get in panic mode and anxiety. As you watch yourself grow older, family expanding and needs increasing.

There is such a demand to have a rapid increase in finances available, there are constraints on family time that brings a strain on marriages, there is increased demand at the workplace for you to keep up with a job deserving of your pay. This really goes on and on and you find that life will be so cluttered with so many different things that are demanding.

This in the end comes up with lifestyle related complications of stress, anxiety, pressure, conflict, envy and this list could go on.

I bet one of us and may be even you could be among the people affected by what am talking about. i too was once in this cycle and when you really get to think about it, you notice that the most important things in life start changing. You end up putting money as the most important thing and lose sight of what really makes life worthwhile. You begin to think that money will make a difference and sort out all the baggage you have in life. You end up in this trap and this will most definately affect your priorities.
Well, let's look at the most important things in life which i can list below.

1. Salvation and the peace of God. (Being right with God)
2. Having a happy marriage and a happy family
3. Having meaningful relationships
4. Having a long and happy life
5. Being at peace with the world
6. Having all your needs met.

If you agree with the list above, you notice that this is different from the situation i had explained above. This is a situation where you are not really enjoying your life because you feel you are time pressured to achieve so much and  then you end up losing everything beautiful that you could have in this life.

Take a minute to relax and think about your life and what you think really will give you a fulfilled life. Make a list of this and then rethink of how you should get there.

Hahahaha....., well in the final analysis all that will really matter is how we related with God and how well we lived our lives on this earth. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
When you get to this point where you are really fed up of running about in circles then, you need to get back to the cross.

I would like all of us to have the most important things in our lives and this is when i cut to the chase. Life is really good and we need to focus on the most important thing. Reflect and work out your relationship with God.
Everything else will fail you, am so certain but God's word will remain. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. It is not easy but it is possible. I have also run round and round in circles, backslidden at times but i want to encourage anyone that may be reading this article. It is not an accident that you are reading it. There are things in your life that need a change if you are to have the most important things in life. Remember, If the Lord does not build a house, they that build it labour in vain. What a waste of time, it will be if you are building a house on the sand and will later have lived your life in vanity.
Let's turn to the Lord, and have our hopes built on nothing else but on the word of God and Jesus Christ.

Change is not easy.  Let's pray for one another as we take this walk of faith to have the most important things in life. What a wonderful thing it is to be at peace with the Lord as he supplies all your needs according to his riches in glory. All to Jesus, please surrender all. Let the peace of God reign.

LIFE ON YOUR OWN TERMS

Today is always the only day that you are guaranteed of in life. 
We have no assurance of being alive tomorrow, next week, month or year. Given such a short time to be sure of, it really adds much value if we could live life on our own terms.
Think about the dreams you dared to dream for your life, the kind of future that you would want to have, the places you need to vacation, the joy and pleasantries that make life worth a journey.
Well, how nice it surely can be if all this is possible and comes to pass in your life time. I have discovered that this is actually possible and i would like to wish it not only for me but for every one that gets a chance to read this. By following these few steps, i believe we can make it.

• Commit your life to God and seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will surely be added unto you. Committing to God is the foundation for everything good that we need in this life. As you read the word of God you will discover all the promises that are in store for you.
• Write down your dreams and profess them to happen in your life. Confession is possession.
• Decide to get out of the rat race, take on the route to entrepreneurship. In all you do, this is one of the most crucial steps to make. If you are in employment, ensure that you also get adequate time to start up a side business. Something that you are really passionate about. As this business grows, you will need to quit your job and start spending more time on your business. The key to achieving the most in life is the decision you take to be an independent person. I encourage you to read the book "The Unemployed Millionaire". 

The biggest achievement in life is the reward of living life on your own terms. Each of us needs to be in control of our lives and not a slave to any one. As you take on this path, resilience and learning from failures are certain to happen but at the end of the day, victory is ours. 
I wish you all well on this journey.

You have a secret - There are no secrets - Why you need to stop doing what you are doing!!!

You think you have a secret. Hehehe!!! Well, you should know this. There are no secrets in this life. Whatever you may be doing or could have done and kept to your self is well known and will eventually come to light.
You can not keep things hidden from the world. If you believe you are doing this, then you are deceiving yourself. Again this is another reason for you to change today and break free from all those bad habits you have well hidden in your life and in your mind.
Believe it or not but there is really a need to break free and change from all negative activity in your life. Today in particular, am referring to all those little secrets you have in your life. Trust me one day some one will approach you and ask you!! When did you start doing this ? Why do you need that in your life? Isn't it shocking that you are doing this? I can never do that in my life time. It will just take only one person to let the entire world know who you really are and are hiding within. It could be a vice like smoking, drugs, immorality,  casting lots, cheating, alcoholism etc.
You are the driver of your reality. You create the access for people to form opinions about you and these will affect literally everything in your life. There is nothing you are doing that the World does not already know about you.
I want you to reflect on this and eventually realise that this is the very reason you need to stop whatever little secret you have in your life and change today. It is time to change what you have been doing and break free. Rid yourself of all negative secrets and embark on a journey of freedom. A journey where you live a perfectly normal and fulfilled life with nothing to hide about your self. A journey where you become the change you want to see in the world. Let this knowledge now liberate and show you how you should leave your life freely to the full and in good character.

Overcoming strongholds in your life

Ever reached a point in life where you feel that you really need a change. You can no longer stand the status quo. You are fed up of the habits that are creating a negative character in your life. You try and try to let go of these habits as much as you can but still you seem not to have any breakthrough. Guess what, you are not alone.
Habits that we get accustomed to over time become addictions and these addictions become strong holds in our lives. Change in this instance can only come by the grace of God. It can happen that you try for a while to let go of that habit and may even go to Church and give a testimony about the break through, but shortly after you find yourself slipping back to those old habits again. These addictions could be anything like alcoholism, bitterness, unforgiveness, keeping wrong company, deception, envy, casting lots, hypocrisy, quarreling. You keep trying your best to change but you don't succeed. You need a break badly, you feel you just need to break free.
Well, i want to encourage you not to give up. In this world we are to face so many tribulations but again victory is ours. It is possible to make a change. God promised us that in this world, we will face so many tribulations, but lets be of good cheer because he has overcome the world. I have discovered that God is with us in all that we go through and we need to accept this and surrender all our situations to him. God promised to give us his holy spirit which comes with the fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, humbleness and self control. All we need to overcome all the strongholds we have in this life is the holy spirit of God that comes with all these fruits to set us free.
I will mention it again that change is not easy, it is not easy but it is possible. You may fail 100 times but if you keep trying, you will succeed. You will live to see the change you need in your life.
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
As you work on overcoming your addiction, the biggest battle field is in the mind. You need to change all thoughts that feed the spirit of that addiction you want to break. The bible says that if we resist the devil, he will flee from us. This resistance begins in the mind. Find a way to change your thoughts to the new pattern you want to see in your life.
As a man thinketh in his mind, so does he become. Think new, think different, think positive and all this will translate into energies creating the reforms you need in your life. Please do not put it off for tommorow, take a decision to break free from the addictions you have today and this will bring the change you need in your life.  Live full in the love of God and no more should you allow any addiction to take control of your life.
