RE: 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 realise 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.

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!!

Do not PROcrastinate!

Procrastination is everyone’s problem because we all procrastinate one way or the other.

I guess the question to ask is ‘What is Procrastination’? Simply put procrastination is doing tomorrow or another time what can be done immediately or now.   Everyone procrastinates one way or the other even though the truly successful people have learnt not to procrastinate because procrastination is the thief of time and it is the monster that we must all love to hate.

Every day we procrastinate. People procrastinate, organisations procrastinate, governments and nations procrastinate because we always love to postpone things in our lives till later.

On a personal note I have had to battle procrastination to a standstill and it is still a battle because sometimes I choose to wake up by 9am instead of the normal 4am so I can get time to pray and properly prepare for the day. We procrastinate because of many reasons including but not limited to laziness, tiredness, lame excuses, peer pressure and even sickness.

The effects of procrastination include failure, stagnation, limitation, regrets and poor lifestyles to mention a few and procrastination can become a killer of our collective destinies.

Recently in Nigeria, the Nigerian government choose to procrastinate about two main issues which include the abduction of the Chibok girls and also the fighting and eradication of the insurgents called Boko Haram. These two issues have become a thorny issue in our political life because the then Jonathan led government decided to procrastinate rather than take decisive actions in these two matters of state.   We are still paying for these two issues because we are faced with the disappearance of over 200 young girls from a certain part of Nigeria and we have a lack of peace in our nation because of these two scenarios.

Procrastination is subtle but can be deadly, a silent killer of destiny because when we procrastinate we are working in cooperation with nature to destroy our lives.   We must work hard to stop the menace called procrastination by learning to always take decisive actions as and at when due.

We must learn to always say NO! to procrastination. We must learn to disagree with the lazy side of our nature and say Yes to creativity and activity. We must be quick to take decisions especially when we do not have time to waste in deciding. We must be hard working and smart always.   We must desist from enjoying the menace called laziness because it is the biggest reason why we daily procrastinate.

Procrastination is also a habit.   We must learn to replace this habit in our lives with creativity, innovation and hard work. We must plan our time and time our plans. We must organize our lifestyles and refrain from anything that will cause us to procrastinate. We must learn to never delay and always do it NOW!  Success is a minute away when we learn to say No! to procrastination.

It is now up to us to say NO more procrastination in our lives as from today.

(For more insights into overcoming the menace called Procrastination you can order for Victoria Praise Abraham’s bestselling book titled ‘The tiny big first step’.)
