THE RUBBER BALL AND TRIALS OF LIFE

An adage in my village says, "No matter how obstinate you are when walking, your head must shake." In life, no matter the level of our thoroughness, carefulness, wisdom, knowledge, and experience, there is no iron clad guarantee that we would not experience failure, setbacks and disappointments that challenges our faith. We are bound to fall, fail and have regrets. But how we manage it determines the outcome. Understanding the why, what, when, who, and where you fall is important in self-recovery! We can fall like a pot of mud and get shattered, with the situation overpowering or overwhelming us. Or we can fall like an iron ball where we don’t break but break things around us, falling with anger and negativity, and engaging in blame game. Or we can fall like a RUBBER BALL-the harder we fall the higher we spring back. A rubber ball doesn’t bounce on sand or mud or water; it needs hard surface to bounce! Tough situations and challenges comes as an opportunity for us to rise to a higher level of consciousness and self-discovery. We must understand that, Life challenges is a divine strategy for us to build character and grow into maturity. We may fall in the eyes of the world in the midst of chaos, uncertainty and destruction; It’s our inner world (the power inside us) that helps us rise. BE LIKE A RUBBER BALL WHEN TRIALS OF LIFE COMES. BOUNCE BACK!!! #RubberBall #TrialsOfLife #OpportunitiesInAdversities #Self-discovery #GrowingThroughTrials #Failures #Disappointments #ChallengesOfFaith #WisdomNuggets #IamPOZA

The Immutable Secrets of Prosperity

The Immutable Secrets of Prosperity Texts: 3 John 2, Mat. 6:24-33, Joshua 1:8 INTRODUCTION: In the Bible the Apostle John says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 2 What is prosperity? A. One dictionary definition of prosperity is: "a state of being prosperous, wealth or success". Having money can be part of the equation, but not always. Prosperity isn't about what you have or own, but what you feel about what you have or own. It is about recognizing life's abundance. B. Prosperity is not only money—in your pocket, in the bank, in your stock portfolio and CDs. True prosperity is the sense of abundance—the sense that you have the right to live an abundant life, that you are a child of a wealthy Father and Mother who love you and want to give you all their riches. C. Prosperity is your true inheritance. It is health, wealth, happiness, joy, peace, faith, hope, wisdom, being in tune with the f

Overcoming Inertia In The Pursuit Of Your Goals.

Image
Is it just me or time really flies, it's already February 3rd ,one month is gone in the year. Most people are still warming up to go, but , there is something called the power of inertia the end of the year brings. Inertia is the tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Big definition for a simple concept. Long and short of what this means is, if you slow down in December at the end of the year, it becomes more difficult for everybody to get going in January and a simple way to check if this is real to you or not is to ask yourself these questions 1. What specific goals did you set in January? 2. What specific activities did you set to accomplish these goals? 3. How much of your goals were yet to be achieved 4. How many of your activity goals were yet to be done? Just in case inertia has taken over, I came as a good external force to hopefully jolt you back into motion. 1. Identify one thing you need to start doing,

Be Thankful For The Little U Have

Image
PSALM 107:1 NKJ "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever". It seems the more people have the less thankful they become. Today complaints are abundant, but thank you's are few. COLOSSIANS 3:15 NKJ 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Being thankful is not a choice for a Christian. If it was impossible, God would not have told us to do it. So, why are people not thankful? Gratitude is a mark of maturity. Ingratitude is a mark of immaturity. Babies are never thankful. Neither are proud people thankful. Why? Because their mindset is that they deserve not just everything they have, but even better. "Why be thankful for something less than what you deserve?" describes their thinking. A funny thing you will notice if you consider it: unthankful people are never happy. In fact, the more thankful a person is, the happier they are. (This is an example of how acting o
