Maintain your track

 In a race,no matter how fast a runner is,even if he came first but he ran out of his track,he cannot be counted as the winner, the reason is not far fetched, he ran out from his track.
 So many people in life have lost the vision of God for their lives because they have left the track of God for their lives,they had looked at others and felt that they are not up to the standard or really measuring up and they left the pathways of God as He has predestined for them.
 You need to know that in life one of the things that stagnate people is the tendency of first of all making comparison of their lives with that of others and secondly is having a negative self esteem about themselves.
 Life is full of challenges and distractions abound but the way to overcome is not allowing yourself to be carried away by these things and make you then digress and loose the visions or plans of God for your life.
 Joseph the son of Jacob was a young man in the house of Potiphar,and as a slave whom was later privileged to be a chief steward in the house of Potiphar knew that there is a plan of God for his life,thus when the wife of Potiphar tried luring him into immorality he was firm in his resolve to rather die than to sin against God and abort His plans for his life.
 Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were willing to eat just vegetables than the dainty dishes of the idolatrous king Nebuchadnezzar and loose their vision,purpose,relationship and consecration unto God even in a foreign land.
 What is that thing that is making you or trying to get you into digressing from God's pattern for your life,you have to make a resolve today with God to stick to Him and His plans for your life, it is worth it than to follow public opinion and vogues and end up a liability.

Hope this helps
From your brother in faith

Study the Word Today

Image
 One of the reasons why false teachers would continue to decieve many so-called believers is because most of these believers on Christ don't have time to study and make researches on the scriptures.  It is not enough to have a hard cover or Bible in print or on your phone,but studying it and understanding what it is saying.  Pathetically or rather unfortunately we even have preachers today who had little time to teach God's people the importance of studying God's word for themselves but would have a whole lot of time to demonstrate power,speak prophecies and perform signs and wonders.  Inasmuch as signs and wonders are good and have their place in the body of Christ, it in also going to be very unhealthy and imbalanced when the believer doesn't supplement it with a robust study and knowledge of God's word.  God makes it clear that His Word should have more primacy in our lives than anything else and if we cannot have time to study or research on God's word how d...

Everything is not about prayers

Image
 Happy new year once again, it's amazing how God has helped each and everyone of us to experience a new year as this,the year 2025.   At this time of the year many of us have high expectations and this is also a period where many churches and religious groups engage in fasting and prayers in preparation for the coming months of the year. While it is good and okay to carry out such religious observance, it is however not the an end in itself but a means to an end.  Most folks after fasting at this period when it gets to the last quarter of the year and it looks as if what they have prayed for in the early part of the year doesn't materialise they feel like God has disappointed them,whereas they have failed to look within how they had also contributed to the state of their lives.  Inasmuch as I advocate and support the issue of being prayerful,I also is of the opinion that prayers or being prayerful is not enough. You need to be serious and up and doing with your ...
