RE:TIME TO FORGE FORWARD!

This week has been amazing to say the least. A very difficult and tedious week it has been. The week started with me feeling very low and though I cannot put my fingers on why my week started this way I have had to ask the LORD for greater grace to make it through each day as it has been very difficult and challenging.

It has been so challenging that I did not even know what to title this week's motivational until I spoke to one of my mentors today.   We were talking about how challenging it has become to be living and working in Nigeria at this time and it occurred to me that there was only one choice open to us all and that was to forge forward and that was how I came about this week topic.

It is time to forge forward.
It is time to forge ahead despite every opposition, challenge and difficulty.
It is time to forge forward and the question is how does one forge forward.

The Word to 'Forge' is an interesting word, and according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the Word can be a noun or a verb. As a noun it is a furnace or a shop where metal is heated and wroth. It is also a workshop where wrought iron is produced. As a transitive verb it means to form by heating and hammering. On the other hand as an intransitive verb it means to move forward slowly and steadily. Or lastly to move with a sudden increase of speed or power.

For the purpose of this write up the second to the last definition is applicable. To move forward slowly and steadily. With the uncertainty of the times that we are living in we must determine to cultivate this mindset of forging forward. It is the only option open to us as powerful, optimistic and positive persons that we are.  

Everything is working to block our view and stifle our movements but we must take purposeful, steady and focused movements at our goals. We must not look back. We must not quit or surrender to fate. We must forge forward and resolutely pursue our dreams, visions, and goals on a daily basis.

The only option open to us is an upward and forward movement. We must forge forward in our plans, purposes and pursuits. This is not the time to cave in and give up. This is the time to forge ahead, forge forward and reach for the stars.  

We must realize that we are closest than when we first began. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step and we must take definite and progressive steps forward realizing that we are on the way and that we will arrive safely if we refuse to quit.

RE: Refusing to quit.

It is easy to quit. It is easier to give up. It is easiest to surrender to your life's situations and circumstances especially when things are not working in the way that you planned.

This is not the time to quit. This is not the time to give up. This is not the time to surrender to life's vicissitudes.   Life requires a tougher, better and greater you so it is time to rise up to the game and fight the good fight of faith until you win.

As they say quitters never win and winners never quit. Become resolute in your mind that you will never ever quit in the game called life because you were born a winner.

Determine to go forward. Determine to get to the topmost top of your game. Determine to give life you best shot because you are made for more.

You are not a quitter you are fighter. You are not a loser you are a winner. You are a born champion destined for the greatest and the best that life can give so redouble your efforts and renew your strength through prayers and fasting.

Give life whatever it will take so long as whatever that you choose to do is okay under the law.

Refuse to quit.
Refuse to give up.
Refuse to surrender.
Refuse to throw in the towel.

Rise up and take possession.
Rise up and build your new company.
Rise up and take new territories.

This is the time to stand up and stand firm for the battle is for the bravest and for the strongest. Only the strong survive.

This is the time to rise and shine for your light has come!

RE: EXERCISING DOMINION IN THE FACE OF DIFFICULTIES.

We are living in very challenging times and if you do not have God and have faith in God at this times things can get really frightening.

Life is extremely challenging and only the tough will survive these times. We are facing very difficult times in our nation and with the economy.

People are finding it difficult to feed something as basic as feeding. This is because our economy and our governments have failed us a people in all levels.   Inflation is very high, very little money is chasing very few goods and these goods and services are very expensive.

We have not had it tougher than this in Nigeria and most people are being crushed under the weight of this challenge.  

Challenges or times of adversities are usually the best times to innovate and to challenge the status quo.  This is the best time to wear our thinking hats and to create solutions for the times that we are living in.

This is the best time to exercise kingdom authority and dominion in our domain. This is not the time to surrender to the choking and paralyzing forces that contends with our force of faith.

This is the best time to be alive because if you can survive these times then you will become a master at life and will become one of the few that will live to tell the story of how you overcame.

This is the time to stand upon the faith of the living God and to exercise your faith in Him over life's many difficulties. This is not the time to fear, fret, become anxious or quit. This is the time to be strong and resolute in your faith.

Only a very strong faith in the living God will enable us to win in these dire times.
Only the very committed sets of believers in Christ will make it through this difficult times. The fearful, the nervous and the anxious will not be able to undergo the rigours of our times.

To conquer you must be resolute, committed, bold, strong, courageous and prayerful. At such times many compromise their faith, stumble and fall off the narrow way.   We must not allow life happen to us we must happen to life by showing and having uncommon faith.   The kind of faith that conquers and never fails.

We must exercise dominion in the face of seemingly difficult times that we are living in.   These are challenging times they are also exciting times because greatness is formed in the face of great adversity.   This is the best time to shine and win by the power of our faith in the living God!

RE: PUTTING GOD FIRST ALWAYS.

Most people think that God should not come into our businesses and daily lives. They think this is religious and foolish?? How can it be wrong to put God in all our daily activities. Who best to put into everything that we plan to do daily, weekly, monthly and yearly but God.

It is not religious neither is it foolish to put God first, rather it is wise and savvy because He is the alpha and the omega; He is the beginning and the very end of all things.

He is the one who holds all things together in the palm of His hands and the heavens are His home and the whole earth happens to just be His footstool.

More than any other time in our lives there is no wiser thing to do in this very season than to put God first in everything and to always carry Him along in all our activities and all of our endeavours.

Most people think that God is old fashioned and should be relegated to the background and related with only when we want to become religious. The wise person knows better. God knows about our internet age. All the breakthroughs that we have been able to achieve in the 21st century has been as a result of His great goodness and benevolence.

It is important and imperative to make God your best friend and ally because with Him on your side you will reach the pinnacle of your career, business and ministry. This is even more important as an entrepreneur trying to do business in this kind of clime and climate.

It is a new season, a brand new month of glory and possibilities. Let us cultivate the God habit and let us learn to put God first in everything.
