RUSH AND CRUSH!

I have been wondering, why is everybody always rushing in life? There is so much rat race in the human race! The simple short answers are: - The fear of impatience. - Because we feel we are late. - Lack of understanding of God’s timing There are always dangers and risks associated with RUSH-ing; you may be stampeded or you stampede someone in the game of life. RUSH syndrome manifests when we have not planned our time or life very well. This happens when we discover that we are getting late in achieving success in some areas of our lives; marriage, career, education, ministry, or even business. Hear me; nothing done in haste (RUSH) ends well, because you are prone to errors and mistakes. Rushing happens when people, including family and friends, are mocking you by saying that you have not achieved some things at a certain age! Then, you begin to fret and get agitated, looking for a faster solution. In fact, because of anxiety, the devil suggests to you a faster approach, which he knows will CRUSH you in the end! SO, BE WISE AND SENSITIVE! Let’s look at what RUSH means: R- Running U-Under S-Satanic H-Hook Many have lost their lives or been maimed because they rushed into marriage, simply because they think they are getting older! Many young lives have been CRUSHED due to the QUICK RICH syndrome! Many have lost fortune and business because they RUSH into it without due diligence! When you RUSH to get what is not yet time for you, it will CRUSH you! According to the Holy Book, Proverbs 28:20, “A faithful man/woman (who waits for God) shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall not be unpunished.” (emphasis mine) Yes, it’s true the saying, “make hay while the sun shines”, which means we should maximize and optimize our time, but life does not require haste (RUSH), but tact--working and planning strategically and tactically, coupled with God's grace and mercy! Whatever it is that you want in life; dream about it, plan it, work hard at it, pray, follow, and wait for God’s timing! No tree produces fruit out of season; if it happens, such fruits will be premature! You can’t RUN (RUSH) past the timing of God for your life. Only align yourself to His divine purpose and you will get to that expected end (Jeremiah 29:11)! Shalom!

Begin With the End in Mind!

According to Albert Einstein, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Begin with the End in Mind means you must sit down and analyse the benefits, risks and challenges to be envisaged before making any move in life. Beginning with the end in mind is all about asking yourself self-probing questions to determine your objectives and the reasons behind what you want to do or achieve. Therefore; -Before you step out on your daily task, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that relationship, begin with the end in mind -Before you hurt that person, begin with the end in mind -Before you refuse to forgive that individual, begin with the end in mind -Before you join others to backbite, backstab, gossip or hate someone, begin with the end in mind -Before you marry that woman or man, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that business partnership, begin with the end in mind Concerning our lives, it means always having the image of the end of your l

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,

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
