4 TIPS TO WINNING IN FEBRUARY 2018!

It seems like yesterday when we ended the year 2017 and began the New Year 2018….It all seems like yesterday. Well good people the year has begun it’s speeding journey and we will have to work hard to catch up with the speed of this new year 2018 as it zooms past in our very faces.

It is very clear now that February beckons as we have already entered the second month in the year 2018. I want to share with us four important things that we must do in this new month of February 2018.

1.    We must be very focused and purposeful. This is important because it is easy to drift through this month and not achieve much. Usually we are all very excited about the beginning of the new year and by the second month we forget all our resolutions and plans and begin to drift aimlessly. This we must fight and remain resolutely committed to our cause, our dreams and our goals as we enter into the month of February 2018.

2.    

     We must be very intentional, extremely deliberate in all that we do. This involves us making intentional choices. We must be very careful and cautious about what we seek to pursue because many choices will come to mind but we must weigh our options and ensure that our immediate goals synchronizes with our ultimate dream for 2018.

3.  

##      We must remain optimistic and positive throughout the month in focus. It is easy to lose the fire of the New Year and to become dampened by the mundane of our lives. This if not properly monitored and cast off will only cause us pain ultimately because when we lose the fire of our excitement we also lose passion and energy and this we definitely need to power our goals, hopes and aspirations throughout the month in view.

4.    

     We must remain prayerful and alert to seize the moments of our opportunities. Sometimes great opportunities come as difficulties and if we are not sensitive to see it we might lose a great opportunity to excel, shine and win in life. It is important that we remain committed to our life of praying and fasting if possible because the combination of praying and fasting does have the potential to move mountains if properly deployed.

Let us have these four important points in mind as we navigate through the second month of 2018, what is usually called the love month.

How we tackle this second month will determine a great deal how we continue in the remaining months of 2018. It is possible that you did not have a great start in January 2018, now is the time to remedy the situation and ensure that you redeem the times for the days are evil. Stay alert, stay focused, remain resolutely committed to your dreams.

You will Succeed!

You will Win!

You will Excel!

RE: THE POWER OF PRAYERS-FIGHT BACK!

The Power of Prayers-FIGHT BACK!

Sometimes we pray and for whatever reasons our prayers are not answered or better still they are answered but the manifestations take forever to show. I wondered for a long time what could be the reason for this delay but recently it dawned on me that there was a need to pray defensive and offensive prayers whenever we pray.

The devil desires always to paint God bad. The devil is a master strategist and he knows a bit about humans to know what we can take and how far we can go with God before we drop off and find other alternative solutions to our problems a lot of the time excluding God Himself.   Whenever this happens what we must know is that satan the devil has won a great battle in our lives. 

The Bible describes the devil in John 10:10 that the devil comes to steal, kill and to destroy. Whoever comes to steal, kill or destroy in our lives is not a friend but rather a strong and wicked enemy which is exactly who the devil is in our lives. Sometimes we underrate the devil and think that he is dumb and stupid and the truth is that this is far from the truth.  

The devil is extremely clever.  He is a huge liar and the Bible calls him the father of lies. If the Bible calls someone the father of lies then we must watch out for such a person and be careful not be sucked in by the wiles of the devil. The devil’s number one reason for existence is to continually make God look bad to his children. The devil wants us God’s children to believe that God is the liar, and that God is the wicked one who cannot be trusted at all.

The devil is a LIAR! He is a cheat, he is a deceiver and he is a wicked tormentor and oppressor. We must learn to fight back as we take on the devil. The truth is that the battle has been won but the devil is always spoiling for a fight so he will recreate wars and battles in our minds when in actual fact we already have the Victories!

The devil will not casually back down. He will continually fight us so we must learn to fight back and fight big all the time because the devil plays deaf at times. He behaves as if he cannot hear us but we must shout him out and shut him out of our lives no matter the cost.

Whatever the devil is telling you presently is a lie. If he says that you are sick then realize that you are well. If he says that you are poor then realize that you are rich and wealthy. Learn to fight back and fight big so that you can live to enjoy you spoils of war and enjoy your inheritance as a saint in Christ Jesus! If the devil says that you cannot go forward that is exactly the time you should push forward because that ugly, terrible and wicked devil is a liar forever! Learn to always fight back!

The battle is almost unending because just when you are settling down to enjoy your well won victory the devil raises its ugly head and tries to cut you down. You must always be prepared and ready to fight on and fight back every time!

RE: IT IS TIME TO GO FORWARD!

Many years ago as the College Administrator of a prestigious College in Lagos State then before the College moved to Ofada in Ogun State I remember teaching the pioneering students of the College a song titled 'What time is it'? Many years later meeting one of the College student now an adult he  reminded me of the song that I taught them those many years ago.

You might be wondering what time it is in your life? It is time to go FORWARD in every area of life. It is time to take progressive steps forward. It is time to soar above the clouds. It is time to leap forward. It is time to take giant strides and leaps forward. This is not the time to crawl or be stagnated in one place. This is not the time to be fixated with the past episodes in our lives. This is the time to take decisive steps to move ahead, move forward and move upwards!

The truth is that there are no more limits in our paths. The truth is that every barrier has been broken and all the chains binding us on the same spots have been removed forever and the onus is now on us to make that move that will take up farther furhter faster!

There is no better time to leap forward and soar higher than now! We are giant killers, we are protocol breakers and world changers! We can take on whatever the LORD GOD has purposed for us to handle in life and this is the time to go ahead and slay the giants in our paths because God Almighty has gone ahead of us to ensure that we have proofs of our faith in this season and for all time!

Again as I said to my students over 21 years ago I say to you today, What time is it? This is the time to go forward! This is not the time to look backwards. It is the time to soar higher, do more and reach our dreams, hopes and visions because Almighty God is with us to give us the VICTORIES!

SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP SHORTLY!

RE: Let this Year Be Different!

The year 2018 is fast moving and it is quite amazing that we have done 18 days already. Time really does fly. The truth is that we all have to be super intentional about this new year or else it will end up as the last couple of years in our lives.

The question to ask is; 'How can me make this year different''? The answers are simple:

1. Do not continue to do the same things as before especially if they are not working.
2. Try new things.
3. Improve on the things that have been working before now.
4. As much as possible stick to your drawn out plans for the New Year.

We cannot continue to do the same things in life especially if these things take us nowhere near where we want to go! It is said that only a mad man continues to do the same things and yet expect a different result!  We must embrace changes this time around. We must seek to do things differently and do them well this time around and finally we must stick to our big plans for the year ahead of us so that we can birth the vision that we have for the year.

There is no better time than now to focus on the goals that we have set for ourselves in this New year! It is very easy to derail and drift but we must not allow the examples of the past that have not yielded any positive results to impede us again. We must fight that spirit that wants to make us make the same mistakes of the past. We must learn from our past mistakes and refuse to make the same mistakes time and time again.

On a personal note I have noticed in the past couple of years that at the beginning of every new year i would write down lofty goals to achieve in the course of every new year but by March of that same year I would have completely forgotten about my big goals for the year and I will tend to just drift with the times and allow life happen to me.  This year is going to be different for me. I will intentionaly keep my 2018 year goals in front of me and will remain committed to achieving them weekly no matter how distracted I get.

There are other things that we must watch to ensure that we make this year different and as we continue in the fulfillment of our goals, dreams and aspirations for 2018 we must be intentional in all that we do to ensure that the year does not run the way of all other past years. We must be committed to making sure that this year is not only different but it is satisfying, amazing and fantastic as we have prayed, imagined and believed.

The ball is now in our courts. Let us work hard to make this happen!

RE: Have a Fresh Vision for a greater New Year!

It is official guys we are now in the 8th day of this great and amazing New Year and there is no better time than now to birth a fresh vision for a greater New Year!

The year is still new and still fresh and If you are like me you would have begun envisioning how the New Year will most likely pan out by the grace of God Almighty all things being equal.

Age and life has a way of making us all jaded this happens as a result of the many disappointments that we daily suffer and the many goals and dreams that seem to elude us.

My message this new week is very simple and it is that despite our jadedness and our many disappointments and discouragements of the past we must rise above it all and create a great vision for our New Year.   A vision that eradicates impossibilities and sees only possibilities. A vision that takes out every kind of limitations and see only great potentials and great occurences and great happenings in our New Year.   No matter how dark and bitter our pasts might seem we must disregard these pasts and choose to create with our minds, imaginations and confessions a vision of a greater and a better tomorrow.   The truth is that tomorrow is already today by tomorrow simply put tomorrow starts todays or better put the future starts now!

It is time to refresh our tomorrow today. It is time to clear away yesterdays failures, disappointments and discouragements and rewrite a new and fresh tomorrow! It is time to renew our minds and rewrite a new destiny by our dreams and our visions. It is time to see no limits and grab hold of endless possibilities.   The truth is that in this New Year if you can dream it, work at it and confess it then you can achieve it especially if you have the support of the living God!

There is a story in the Bible about the building of the tower of Babel. Men everywhere suddenly wanted to build a tower that will reach into God's heaven and they all began to build and God saw that man had the capacity to make this happen. God had to decide to confound the unity and purposefulness of man by scattering them through dividing their language. Well there is a similar take in this story and in our abilities to create a new and fresh vision for our lives in 2018.

We must not begin the year as though it is just another year. If we do this then we will be there ourselves a great disservice. We must understand that this New Year is another opportunity to win again, build again, shine again and reign again in life and so it must not be taken lightly!

Last words to you and to myself is simple.....'Have a Fresh Vision for a greater New Year or better still for year 2018!

RE: Time to Begin Again!

If you are reading this post it means that you successfully made it into the year 2018 and for this I congratulate you for the great grace and favour of God that is present in your life.  There is no doubt that 2017 was a very temptous and turbulent year but the fact that we are still here shows that we are indeed champions and victors of our time.

We are now in another year, we have been given the grace to journey  through another full year and a year portends 12 months, 52 weeks and 365 days and the count down to 2019 has already begun.

The year 2018 will be to you whatever you choose to call it.   It will answer to you in the very same way that you call it.  It is a fresh new beginning to begin again!

The year 2018 is another opportunity in God to dream again, prepare again, hope again, plan again and shine and triumph again.   My very good friend Pastor, Professor and Psychologist, Dr. Akindotun Merino advised us to journey in this year as if we never had another year before this year showed up!

It is up to us to dream again and not allow the many disppointments of the past to steal our joy of today and our hope of a better and a greater tomorrow.  It is up to us to take up the challenge of a brand new year and passionately dream bigger dreams than yesterday's dreams.

Disappointments have a way of beclouding our vision of our tomorrow.  If we allow the discouragements of our disappointments to becloud our dreams of a better and a greater tomorrow than it is certainly a matter of double jeopardy and may this not be our lot in life in Jesus mighty name. amen.

The party is over.   The holiday is over, the relishing in our drinks and our foods for the holiday seaso is over. The New Year has begun and it is no longer new as it is already 3 days old.   It is time to dream again, live again and win again! This time bigger, better, faster and greater.

Welcome to a year of great grace for great glory!
