GROWING RIGHT

What do you do in the face of pressure? Complain, get bittered, murmur, etc? At some point in our lives, we'll face pressure from family, friends, business/finance, obligations and responsibilities, ability to meet up with life's demands, the temptation to cut corners as to make ends meet, and so on. Truth is, everyone faces pressure and in most cases, it comes in a wrong form with great temptation for us to attempt. But what matters is WHAT we do in the face of it. When friends/peers presents you with a new habit or lifestyle in school, what do you do? When life presents you with an "opportunity" to make money through a means that's never near God's purpose, how do you respond to it? Responsibilities with its burden has put you down and then shakes your mind to reconsider a fraudulent or negative proposal suggested to you, tell me, what do you do at this point? Or maybe you're mentally strained with the notion that you're supposed to be wh...

Last Friday's article was an introduction of the topic; stir up the gift. Today's article however reveals how it can be stirred up. You cannot acquire result in whatever endeavour you engage or venture into without laid out principles or guidelines to get your prospective results. Eventually, nothing will work for you if you don't know how to make it work. So you'll learn how you can stir up the gifts, potentials or talents in you, whether it's working or not.  So, how can you stir up the gift?

They yielded to Me and became great blessings." This revived my consciousness of submitting and yielding to the Holy spirit more. I realized that the more you yield, the more He makes you an object of great transformation and lasting impacts.  He ...

God placed gifts, talents and potentials in every human accordingly. So many gems are buried in your inside which won't only bring you fulfilment but also riches. However, it is supposed to be multiplied not buried or kept to return it the same way to the Master. They are meant to be planted in people's lives and yield returns for them, for God and for you. No gift, potential, idea, or talent is a waste. They all need to be expressed because multitudes out there needs that thing you can offer. "For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God" ~ Romans 8:19 The world eagerly await you, so why not you stir up that gift? Do you know that keeping it in is selfishness? Do you know that you trying to hide inside your shell is selfishness? I don't have all it takes is no excuse. You're just being selfish because you are cheating creation. God invested wealth of value in you to give it out to humanity but then...

" What you are emotionally is what you are!" may be too strong a statement to be true, but it's close. We are all such emotional creatures that our emotions can influence every area of our lives—for good and for bad." ~ TIM LAHAYE And that includes our day to day DECISIONS. There are so many types of emotions and they influence how we live our lives and interact with other people. I've discovered that our emotions are responsible for the choices we make, actions we take and sometimes form our perceptions.
