RE: Let go and Let God!

These last couple of days have been very difficult for me because I had to review the past year and begin planning for the next coming year that I am trusting the LORD GOD to enter by His special grace!

It has been painful, harrowing and difficult because I had listed 71 things to accomplish in 2016 and was only able to successfully do 19 out of the 71 meaning that I missed out on 52 of these great goals. The entire scenario is worsened because my sales for November and December was poor so I am sitting here looking around and wondering how poorly things has been but then deep into the review the LORD points to me that things are not as simple as they appear that I needed to calculate the entire process again using a different set of criteria different from merely looking at the figures.

God Almighty showed me that my successfully clocking 50 in October and been able to celebrate successful as I wanted counted for most of my success for the year and that this would count for about 40 percent of the goals and since I scored very high here then I really did not fail in my goal setting for the year. Also the LORD showed me that my spiritual life was on point and that most of the things I was unable to accomplish was because it was just not yet the time for me to succeed in those goals. This was very comforting to hear and I had to go into thanksgiving and praise at God's method of reviewing my year.

Perhaps you are out there and you are wondering how poorly you have performed in the year about to close my admonition is that you should not be too hard on yourself because God Almighty knows how to get us to our desired destination even when we are unable to reach our set goals for the year in view.  

Please note that 2016 was a very difficult year both home and abroad and the only reason we are here standing strong and well is because of the great grace of God Almighty so let us let go and let God as we prepare to end 2016 and enter a brand new year of open doors, enlargement and rest from all struggles.

This is not the time for wailing and mourning, this is the time for deep reflections and thanksgiving and praise to God Almighty for His great mercies and grace upon our lives in 2016.

Let us inhale and exhale and give thanks for the amazing year ahead of us in 2017.   Yes learn not to continue to make the same mistakes but it is important that we are not too hard on ourselves as we close 2016 and enter 2017 by the special grace of God Almighty.

Re: With a grateful Heart......VPA

My heart is overflowing with gratitude, praise and worship....I sing my song of thanksgiving to my King, the owner, creator, and redeemer of my soul.

My heart is on fire with great love towards the lover of my soul.

My heart is overwhelmed with great joy and rejoicing for all the beautiful things my God has done for me in this year about to close because my Saviour kept me, helped me, delivered me, saved me, refreshed me, renewed me and restored me.

I know that my year in view started on a great note and the truth is that it continued on a wonderful note and is ending on an amazingly blessed and glorious note not because I have all my dreams met or all my aspirations come to pass yet but because I am confident in the God that began the beginning with me that He is able to grandly finish all that He started in me.

My heart overflows with great gratitude and thanksgiving for being alive today, for being from sicknesses, diseases, afflictions, infirmities, sorrows, pains and tragedies. My heart is overwhelmed with great love and devotion to my Creator, King and lover.

I know how far God Almighty has helped me. In the physical it seems that not much has taken place but I will be a total fool not to realize all the power and love of my King....He has done great things for me of which I am forever glad.

God Almighty has been the wind in my sail. He has been the rock in my life and He remains the shield and buckler for my soul. I cannot be removed or moved because His love for me is everlasting, ever faithful and ever true.

My heart overflows with thanksgiving for the great victories that my Redeemer has given to me on a silver platter, victories of the day, victories of the night, victories I can see, victories I can feel, victories I cannot see and victories I can only perceive. My 2016 has been an amazingly beautiful year full of fulfilled promises and greatness. I discovered faith in God that I never knew existed. I saw the goodness, greatness and glory of God Almighty first hand.   I am not where I ought to be but I am not where I used to be either.

My heart is overwhelmed with great gratitude for the awesome beauty of my God. He has proven that He is the awesome God the way maker, the miracle worker, light in the darkness, my God, the promise keeper. I look back at 2016 and I stand in awe of my King, the LORD JESUS, great and mighty things He alone has done.

I am grateful for life, my life, my health, my sanity, my great successes and the daily benefits, blessings, breakthroughs and brilliance all provided by the LORD, the God, the Almighty.

Think back and reflect on God's goodness, trust me this is not the time to murmur or to complain......Use the remaining days in 2016 to glorify, magnify, and thank God for His great power, love, mercies and grace upon your life. Please let your heart dance for joy at the thoughts of our God!!!

RE: Time to give thanks to the Living God

There is time for everything...Time to start, time to end. Time to build time to tear down that which has been built. Time to weep and time to laugh. There is also time to recount all our blessings and then time to give thanks. Trust me guys this is not the time to complain at all. Certainly not.

We all have the privilege of counting all our blessings and naming them one by one and giving thanks to the living God if at this point in time we are yet alive. Why do I say this, simple. I say this because not everyone that started 2016 on the 1st day of January is yet alive as we speak today. Some are dead, some are alive but dead, some have lost their minds and some have lost a limb or two so if you are still together and able to read this whole article all by yourself then you and I certainly need to rejoice, shout out loud and give thanks.

The truth is that only the living God deserves our thanks for He alone is the only one that has the capacity to power our lives.  We have been kept not because we are smarter, hotter or better, we have been kept only because we enjoyed the grace and the mercies of the living God.

As you read this I want you to stop at this point, grab a pen and a journal or a sheet of paper and write out all of God's blessings in your life since January till now, I am sure that at some point you will be tired writing because of the absolute faithfulness, kindness, goodness and greatness of God in all our lives.

I know that not all our prayers were answered in the course of this great and fabulous year and I know we have some unanswered questions and we have some problems that have just plain refused to go away but the truth of the matter is that our blessings outnumber our problems all put together.

So let us do ourselves a favour by ensuring that we engage the art and act of daily thanksgiving for the entire duration of the month of December.  We must work very hard not to ever complain, or be offended or bitter towards our Creator, Redeemer, Saviour and King.

We must give thanks generously, constantly, and continually this great and amazing God, who is all knowing, all loving and all caring towards us all.

This is the time to review the year 2016, recount and count our blessings and give thanks to whom all thanks is due, the only true, faithful and only wise God. The Alpha, the Omega, the very beginning and the ultimate ending of all things.  If you have nothing to be thankful for then thank God that you still have the breath of the living God in your nostrils giving you life freely without charging an arm and a leg.  Remember this is not the time for complaining, murmuring or fretting this is the time to give thanks to the living God for every blessing that has come our way since January 1st till 31st December 2016.  Yes give thanks not just for the things God has done but also for what He is yet to do.

Fight for your tomorrow today!

Fight for your tomorrow today!

It is easy to quit. It is easy to surrender. It is easy to throw in the towel but we all know that winners never ever quit and quitters never ever win.

You must take a decisive decision to fight for your tomorrow today by refusing to quit on your dreams of a better tomorrow. You must learn to stand in the heat of the fight and never ever quit.
You must learn to seize the moment and make the very best of every given opportunity.
You must learn to replace every fear with faith and every timidity with courage, because only the strong survive and only the strong make it.

You must learn to forge ahead despite every opposition, difficulties, challenges, problems, trials, temptations and traumas. Realize that it is not over until you win.

You must learn to remain strong, determined, resolute, and tenacious and committed to the cause at hand because life is never for the fearful, the cowardly and the afraid.

Today counts, so does tomorrow. Yesterday is gone with all its problems, challenges, and troubles including its glories. We must learn to take new territories, new lands and new horizons in life because life will not wait on us.

We must strive to overcome our faults, our weaknesses and our challenges knowing that we were born to win, thrive, excel and shine in life. We were not made to crawl, beg and struggle throughout life.

We must be like the sons of Isaachar who understood the times and the seasons and knew exactly what Israel must do. Seasons come and seasons go some people never ever exit an old season for a new one. It is a cyclic journey with no progress but that is not our portion because we were born to walk in power, wisdom and glory.

We must realize there is no story without a struggle and there is no struggle without a glory especially when our lives are firmly found in Christ the Living God.

We must not surrender our tomorrow today by choosing to live our best lives today. We must enjoy the journey to greatness because part of the journey is the process and part of the process is the journey.

We must forcefully enter our next level because life is never a tea party only the forceful take the land. We must fight for our tomorrows today.

RE: The Power of Dominion.

Once upon a time I feared everything and everyone around me. Life was scary and negatively amazing. I had problem sleeping and I had lost weight from the severe attack of depression.

I was in a maze and life was negatively amazing. It was so bad I thought I was going to die until I met JESUS CHRIST.

My meeting with Jesus Christ was not a chance meeting and it certainly was not religiosity.  

It was a very intentional and real meeting that has forever changed my life and world view.

I was fearful, timid and easily afraid.  I was afraid of yesterday, today and tomorrow. I feared being alone and feared the crowd. The fear was real in my life and it was my own private warfare that I needed an ally to help me win in.

I never knew what it meant to live in dominion.   I never knew what it meant to live without any fears, doubt and unbelief until I met with Jesus Christ.

Gradually but surely my life began to change for the better. I gradually regained back my senses and then my original personality, my joy and peace was restored and my entire being was made perfectly whole. I had finally been delivered from a severe attack of depression.

My life today is so much more better, greater and healthier.   I now live with any kind of fear except the fear of the Almighty God.   I am totally free of fear, worries and anxieties. I no longer fear people and  places.

Today I daily walk in dominion and live in perfect harmony with my Creator and with the people around me.   I no longer fear being alone neither do I fear crowds. I fear nothing except the living God who has remained faithful and true in the person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

There is great power in living in dominion. You walk talk, talk big and live large in God. You become unstoppable, indomitable and incredible.   You see further and reach higher in God and you certainly do not fear the past, the present of the future. You become strong, purposeful and fearless.

Dominion is a state of being that you can only attain when your life is steeped in Christ. It only exists in the lives of true disciples of Christ. You cannot brag about living in dominion, it can only be experienced. You get dominion from becoming born again, you get dominion from living a life of separation and consecration.  Only Jesus Christ can give a man or a woman dominion. It does not exist with any other being than Christ. He alone has the power to release the power of dominion into the lives of others.

I cannot trade the life that I live today with anything in this world. Not with great silver, nor with great gold. All the wealth of the universe cannot buy dominion.   Dominion is reserved only for the upright and the honest in God.

Do you want dominion? Seek it in the place of prayers.

Do something different and differently in this season-Do not stop Winning!

The tendency in most of us as human beings is to continue to do the same things and yet expect changes, but the truth is that this is not possible.   In fact it is said that only a slightly weird person would do the same things over and over again and yet expect changes. Changes come when we are deliberate and intentional about our decisions and our actions.

If you want to create a new world for yourself then you must change your mind about certain things and then change your behaviour too.   Everything starts with our minds. We become first in our minds before we manifest what we have decided outside our minds into our real worlds.

If you want the world around you to change then the change must first come from within us. For many of us we have continued to live the same kind of lifestyle for many decades now without allowing any changes because we like the normalcy of our lives. We take the same roads to work. We shop in the same shops over and over again. We do our laundry in the same area and with the same laundry mart over and over again for years. We travel to the same places and have done this for the last 30years of our lives. We never really want to change yet we clamour for changes in our lives with thinking that there is a need to try something new, something exciting and something different.

To enjoy the best life possible we must determine to do things differently and do different things. Life is too short to remain boring, predictable and unexciting all through our lifetime.  We must determine to try new routes, new cuisines, new relationships and new belief systems so long as we remain connected deeply to our core values and to our main source of life.

There is no better time than now to take that new opportunity and run with it. There is no better time than now to start that new relationship and see where it ends. We must quit being afraid of the new and the better. We must determine to life our maximum lives by living it to the hilt to the fullest of our potentials.

We must determine to broaden our horizons. We must determine to start a new path and walk a new walk of life. We must not remain predictable and small in life because the world is too much of a large place to remain in our small corners affecting nothing and being nobodies.

We must strive to raise the bar. We must do different things as from now. Set new goals, climb new mountains and cross new oceans. We must determine to break every barrier and destroy all hindrances stagnating our growth and development.

It is time to try a new job...It is time to try a new diet, it is time to try a new relationship except if you are married then you can only try different things with the same man or woman that you are committed to but if you are single then do not be afraid to walk away from any stagnating and abusive relationship that is stifling and choking.

Life is too short to remain small. It is time to do something different. It is time to do it differently. A new life beckons. A new and glorious season is here. A season to explore, reach out and be all that you were created to be. Enlarge your thinking, increase your capacities for greatness. Reach for a greater and better you by trying different things and trying it differently.

There is no better time than now to be all that you were born to be. The season for real and positive changes is now!

Welcome to a brand new season. Welcome to November 2016!

RE: Stay the Course-Do not stop winning

I have been writing this weekly motivational now for some years and to me it seems like forever and in the last 2weeks I bet I stopped writing and posting because I was feeling tired of the whole drama of life.  The question to ask then is this: Is this the best time to quit on my dream, work and assignment? The simple answer is NO!

I therefore chose to write to everyone out there who is feeling like quitting, giving up and throwing in the towel to please rest if you have to but please do not quit because you might just be half way to promised land.

Nobody can tell the day of our visitation. Nobody can tell the day of our shining, winning and triumphing because you never know the next step that will catapult you to stardom or to the promised land. Perhaps it is that next step that you need to take. Perhaps it is that next door that you need to knock. Or maybe it is that next man that you need to trust or it is that next play that you need to write or the next song that you need to produce that will bring you the needed impetus for your next level. Nobody knows and because nobody knows we must all determine never to quit but rather to stay the course and never ever to quit.

Sometimes you have expectations and your expectations does not always pan out the way you thought that is not reason enough to stop having good and excellent expectations because the next time might just be the best time to take action.

So there my writing is done for today because all I needed to do was to ensure that i jump started my writing of motivationals to my teeming audience scattered all over the world today and not let it drag for another day. It has not been easy and nobody promised us a smooth road but it has certainly been worth it. Sometimes it feels like one is not making any real impact but the truth is that if you stay the course then one day it will all pay off if you refuse to quit.

So my admonition to everyone out there struggling with their dreams, goals and work is to keep at it. You never know when pay day will come. Perhaps today, perhaps next year, perhaps soon than then the important thing is to stay the course and never ever stop winning at the game called life!

RE: Do not give up your dream

The easiest thing to do in life is to quit, surrender, give up and cave in. One of the hardest things to do is to refuse to quit, refuse to surrender and refuse to cave in. This is so because quitters never win and winners never quit. On a personal note I have reached many points in life especially when I am faced with very important events, ventures and endeavours, I get to places where I just want to quit, surrender and cave in. I get tired of persevering and choose to just throw in the towel but the grace and power of God resident within me never allows me to take this easy option, never ever.

I have accomplished many goals in life by simply refusing to quit even though most of the time all the odds are stacked against me. I have often wondered where I get the strength to continue even in the face of many challenges, obstacles, problems and trials.  I have simply refuse to quit, let go and let up in life.

I believe that this ability to stay the course and never ever quit is my strongest asset in life and it is the very same that is needed for us all to succeed in life because life will always play tricks with our minds causing us to focus on our weaknesses, our failures and our inadequacies.

I recall the birthing of many of my books as a clear example. There was always some stumbling block, a closed road, insufficient funds and so on to stop me at becoming a published author, but I was determined from the start never to quit. I knew it would be a great fight and it has always been but throughout my life journey so far I have determined to stay the course and to give it all it would take so that I can succeed in the game of life no matter how challenging and difficult it might seem initially.

It is important to keep dreaming. It is important to keep our dreams alive and to fan the fires of our dreams so that we can reach our goals in life. One of the things that has helped me stay strong is the power of prayer and the power of faith in the living God.  Please do not get me wrong, I am not trying to preach at all. I am only stating the obvious. There is great and potent power in prayers to the living God. It is important to walk and live by faith for without faith we cannot enter our next levels in life, and since our dreams help us to enter these next levels then it is important that we understand the mechanics of being able to pray and pray through until we breakthrough.

As the year is beginning to wind to an end we must continue to fight for our dreams and keep our hopes alive no matter what the situations and conditions of our present lives show to us. We must learn to change things in the place of prayers and by keeping our faith alive. We must believe that God is able to assist us to reach our promised lands. We must never ever give up our dreams for a better and greater life here on earth.

RE: DANCE IN THE STORM

DANCE IN THE STORM

I thank God for the times we are living in. Amazing times, challenging times and extremely testing times, but I now know it is possible to dance, sing and rejoice right in the storm, for God Almighty will not give us more than we can handle. He is too good to be wicked, too wonderful to be evil. He is the reason we are never consumed by the wiles of the wicked, even in the toughest and most difficult of terrains He is ever present at our side making sure we are kept safe and that we are protected and preserved.

Yes, it is possible to turn the heat on your situation and yet you refuse to be perturbed or depressed by simply turning the tables on your adversaries and difficulty. Instead of weeping, wailing and caving in, shake off from the dust, shake the beast into the fire and refuse to be broken down and overwhelmed by life’s perils. Rather laugh out real loud, sing, dance and rejoice for your maker is King, Lord and the Redeemer.

It really does not matter, what you are going through once it happens it is a ‘going through’ and not a ‘dying there’! This too will pass and you shall live to tell the beautiful story of how you overcame the storm, the siege and the troubles life throws your way.

You can dance and sing and rejoice in the storm. Let me give you five powerful reasons why you can dance in the storm.

1.         God is an ever present help in the time of need.

2.         Nothing was made to destroy or consume you, everything that comes your way was meant to strengthen you, and the stronger the challenger the greater your victory and power.

3.         God will not give you more than you can handle. Never!

4.         When you overcome every difficulty and challenge you come out shining, smiling and successful. You become a pillar and succour for the hurting and the challenged all around you.

5.         All things work together for good for those that love God, and that are called according to His purpose.

God Almighty is always concerned about the bigger picture. While we sometimes major on the minor and focus on the mundane, God is working at making you more than a conqueror by preparing you for the real big issue not the small irritations that we see as troubles, trials and temptations. Ask yourself this question and please answer truthfully, Has God Almighty in all your walk with Him ever failed you before? If your answer is no, never! Then chances remain that He will not fail you now and anytime else for that matter. So rest and learn all the lessons that you need to learn while going through the valley of Baca, because life is a school and the earlier we learn and move up the ladder, the better for everyone. The rest becomes history.

Relax and get ready for a new song, a new dance and a new victory because of a new season and a new faith.  Who is on the Lord’s side? As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Only those that know their God shall be strong and do exploits in these seasons.

This is not the time to lose focus and lose path and purpose, this is the time to refocus,      re-strategize and reorganize for the days are evil. We must all arise and fan the fires of our faith to be able to withstand the heat the enemy is ready to unleash to the double minded and the feeble.  May we never lose our connection to God and may we always win in the battles of life!

Re: Surround Yourself with the right people to SUCCEED!

People can be our greatest assets and our greatest risk, this is the risk we must daily take. This is a quote from Victoria Praise Abraham's bestselling book titled, Hope on the go! Nothing could be more accurate in life.

On a personal level I have learnt that no man is an island and we all need people around us that believe in our dreams, hopes and aspirations. We need people who can help fuel and birth our dreams in our journey of life. There is no doubt that we will meet near devils whose main aim would be to kill and destroy our dreams, hopes and aspirations but in the course of life's journey too we will meet wonderful dream birthers. These are a group of amazing people who could be family members, friends or just associates who help us to reach our goals in life or simply help us to get our next levels in life. Such people surround us daily and it is our duty to identify such persons and cultivate their friendships.

I have experienced many wonderful relationships in life. Most of them have been exceptional and amazing in nature. They have been like angels sent to make my life beautiful, strong and enviable. This is not to say that i have not met some real bad persons too but the ratio of the amazing relationships certainly outweigh the very bad ones.

We meet new people daily. We must ensure that we are at our best so that these relationships can go to the next level. We must not set out to milk the other person when we meet new people. We should just be ourselves, be kind, affectionate and considerate and soon we will be reaping the benefits of a wonderful relationship.

Relationships can make or mar us. We must prayerfully choose our relationships whilst working very hard to nurture old ones. We must seek to love others as much as we too demand love and respect back. We must ensure that our relationships are built on love, respect and dignity. Nobody wants a perpetually needy relationship. We all desire strong, vibrant and positive relationships that help to make us all better persons.

Decide to reach out to your old friends and relationships while working on nurturing new ones and remember we must reap whatever we sow so let us be careful the kinds of relational seeds that we daily sow.

Relationships are vital, critical and important. They help us get from one level of life to another and most relationships are to make us better persons. We must strive to relate better daily and make our relationships super wonderful by our thoughts, acts, prayers and deposits. We must never be just takers but givers in this journey of exchange.

To excel, succeed, thrive and win in life you need to daily surround yourself with the right people by being the right person yourself.

RE: THERE IS A GOSHEN IN EGYPT!

There is a Goshen in Egypt!

There is a light in darkness.

There is an abundance in scarcity.

There is a power in hopelessness.

There is a prosperity in obscurity.

There is a pleasure in pain.

There is a life in death.

There is a joy in sorrow.

There is a peace in war.

There is a calm in turbulence.

Egypt represents a place marked for destruction yet in Egypt there was a Goshen. Goshen is a place where God’s presence is, it is a place where God’s protection is, it is a place where God’s peace and power is.

There are two things to do when you find yourself in darkness, scarcity, hopelessness, obscurity, pain, death, sorrow, war and turbulence. You must find God and bring God into your predicament. When God comes into the equation then we must speak forth what we want to see for life and death is in the power of the tongue.

You might presently find yourself in Egypt; your business is to create your Goshen within the Egypt of your life. 

You might presently be going through pain, death, darkness and turbulence presently but you can bring God into the situation and begin to speak forth order, peace, joy, light and power. God and what you speak forth has the power to change your present situations for the better.  

When next you are confronted with an Egypt situation and all you see around you is death and destruction realize that you can create your own Goshen in Egypt, a place where God is and where God rules and reigns and makes all the difference to our lives.

Always remember that there is a Goshen in your Egypt!

TAKE TIME

Take time to learn, it is a sign of greatness.

Take time to think, it is a source of power.

Take time to plan, it is the first step to fulfillment.

IT IS TIME TO TRY AGAIN!

IT IS TIME TO TRY AGAIN!

So you have tried all your possible best going there and trying here? So you have prayed year in and year out for your break to come? So you have written that song and completed that book but the funds for publication and recording still elude you? So you have toiled and toiled and now you feel it’s time to quit? So you have waited for the hand of God and sought the face of God and He seem afar off, sometimes slow and perhaps He is off on a long business journey, forgetting to hear your prayer or see your pain?

So you have written that amazing business plan and yet your bankers you believed would help you have suddenly disappointed you, and you are not able to fulfill that wonderful dream of becoming a business mogul?

So you have begun to lose hope, begun to doubt God and resign to your horrible fate?

Alas my brother! Alas my sister!  Wait!

It’s not the time to quit! It’s not the time to give up! It’s not the time to retire! It’s not the time to surrender and down tools! It’s not the time to look back with regrets, and blame God because your desires seem unachievable!

It’s time to trust more! It’s time to remember His goodness, and remember His love and His grace towards you. It’s time to recount and write out all your blessings one by one, and give thanks for all of God’s grace and mercies! It’s time to rewrite the vision and make it plain, ensuring that the vision is always in your face by God’s grace!

It’s time to give of yourself. Yes, freely give your time, energies, smiles, gifting and talents.

Give whatever you can give, give love out freely, give forgiveness out freely, give out joy, give out praises to God and to people, encourage someone beneath and below you, as you give out, you are sowing good and good will come back to you.

It’s time to refocus, restrategize, renew and regroup. It’s time to have an attitude of gratitude and keep your praise and rejoicing at your highest peak. It’s time to try again. Yes, I mean try again!

Try again, rewrite that proposal, go back to the bank chief and refuse to take no for an answer!

It’s time to rebuild that house, and re-launch that programme and product.

You have come too far to give up!

You have come too far to quit!

You have come too far to surrender!

You have come too far to resign!

You have come too far to retire!

You must determine to make it and you must wait it out and accomplish.

You must determine to forge ahead.

You must determine to win the fight.

You must determine to succeed and excel against all the odds.

You must determine to rewrite your story and release your glory!

You must determine to break out, breakthrough and break forth!

You must determine to fight it out! Win it all and finish the race!

You are too legit to quit!

You are too blessed to be distressed.

You are too loaded to cave in and break down.

You are too great to remain small and unsung.

You are too much to be pushed aside and shoved around and be forgotten.

Today choose to agree with God.

He says you are special, unique and blessed and completely favoured.

He thinks only good about you and has set up angels to guide and guard.

He wishes that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.

He loves you deeply and cares about you completely.

He commands that you go forward and make progress.

He commands you to;

Conquer!

Reign!

Triumph!

Multiply!

Flourish!

Accomplish!

Succeed!

If all you can do is crawl, then crawl and keep crawling until you get there.

If all you can do is walk, then walk and don’t stop walking until you get there.

If all you can do is fly then soar and ensure that you get there.

You must never stop trusting and believing!  

It is darkest before the day breaks!

The people that win never ever surrender!

The people that succeed, never ever give up the fight!

The people that win never ever quit!

So go back to the drawing table, and re-launch that dream!

Remember if you can think it, you can achieve it!

You must try again! You must achieve your dream! You are too legit to quit!

You must forge forward and make progress by all means regardless of the opposition and the challenge. You must try again and keep trying until you get exactly what you are looking for. You must redouble your efforts and keep your positivity up and your negativity out because when it comes down to it only the tough survive and you are a survivor and not a quitter. You must pray harder, praise longer do all that you know to do legitimately to win at the race in front of you. You must never ever quit nor give up until you have become the winner that you are in life.

You must get set for your coronation and the celebrations for you as you become a celebrity in this season in Jesus mighty name.

TODAY! MAKE TODAY COUNT.

Do you know that the enemy uses your past to defeat your future by ensuring that you never maximize your today?

Do you know that the greatest enemy of your future is your past?

Do you know that whenever you live in yesterday you are already defeated because both today and the future is been silently stolen?

Do you know that tomorrow is today about to happen so if you are stuck in yesterday you are being the biggest loser for it?

May you and I not be trapped in our yesterday!

May you and I not be haunted by our yesterday!

May you and I not be fixated by yesterday‘s glories, victories and triumphs, when today is waiting to be conquered and tomorrow waiting to be embraced.

We must get past yesterday both with its glories and with its pains.

We must delete yesterday out of our software and hardware and take charge of our todays.

We must divorce completely, permanently our yesterday so that we can be rightfully married to our todays and begin to work at ensuring a greater and more glorious tomorrow.

We must begin to really LIVE in the fullness and power of today. Today is all that counts because yesterday is a cancelled cheque and today is the present and the gift that GOD has given us to triumph in and to shine forth at, tomorrow is the future and it is not yet in our reach, for only GOD knows our tomorrows.

We must begin to really LIVE with posterity in mind.

We must begin to really LIVE with purpose, vision and mission at the heart of our minds TODAY!!

We must cut all the ties of yesterday especially when it is toxic and destructive and even when yesterday was sweet who says today and tomorrow is not meant to be sweeter, better and more glorious, but this will elude us when we permanently keep looking back and savouring yesterday while today is been wasted and tomorrow been slaughtered because we have not seen the need to cut off the past of our lives.

This is why the Holy book admonishes us to forget the past, and move into the great and glorious futures GOD has planned because GOD is always doing new things and we must break away from the mold of the past to be able to see the new that GOD does by the second.

It’s time to ARISE and begin to live our best lives now.

It’s time to ARISE and begin to thrive, strive and achieve our highest and best.

We must arise and begin to seize the moments and to make all the necessary changes that will assist us thrive in our new terrains because we have been bold enough to embrace new heights and power in GOD.

We are gradually molding our tomorrows today and we daily create our future, for it is said that what you do daily eventually creates the future that you enter into.

Yesterday is dead and must be buried and forgotten so that the power, zeal and zest needed to begin today in a fresh and powerful way would be released. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.

What do you want to contribute to your community, Nation and world?

What do you want to be remembered for?

What giants must you arise and slaughter so that you can take your place and position and become that star that you were born to be?

Who must you learn from so that you can become that great leader that you were born to be?]

What books must you read at this hour to help galvanize you to your next level of power and position?

What must you do now that would greatly improve your lot in life because you can start afresh and start anew and begin to work afresh at that seemingly impossible dream for to him that believes nothing shall be impossible and everything is possible to him that believes.

The time is NOW, THE DAY IS TODAY SO DO NOT LET TODAY SLIP PAST YOU. TAKE ACTION NOW!!! Make TODAY count!!
