DO YOU LIKE WORK?


Its amazing that many people live for the weekend. Others are working for retirement benefits without any love for their jobs. Les Brown once made  a statement that many of the heart attacks that happen to people occurs on their way to work. Seeing they don't like love what they do, their hearts attacks them.

When you look through the Internet as weekend approaches there is a sense of happiness that overflows. On Fridays you see hashtags like TGIF. Surprisingly, you never come across TGIM, that's Thank God Its Monday. Why aren't we grateful for Mondays? Monday signifies showing up for work and attending to your responsibilities. The attitude of loving rest more than work deprives you of releasing your  potential. In the beginning it was not so, in Genesis it is written "And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it" . Work was given to man in the beginning it was man's duty to work the garden.

Someone said Laziness is simply the habit of resting before one get tired. When God gave the Law he said "Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work". In other words, man was supposed to work more than he rests. You can do the maths, if you slept and rested from work 10 hours a day how many years would you have wanted  over a life time? Life is too short to spend it resting everytime. Work is the path way to releasing potential and making a difference in your world. God worked, Jesus worked, you must take after your maker. This and many more are some of the insights I shared in my book titled TAKE UP YOUR BED.

No more folding of hand to sleep and procrastinating. Embrace a Work life style today. This has nothing to do with having a Job or not. When I returned from Service  and even before then, I often had a weekly to-do list and I still had one for last week. Truth is, any one who walks in purpose cannot be stranded.

Central Truth: Work is the channel to releasing your potential.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Genesis 2:15, Deut 5:13

Prayer:
LORD, I receive grace to be diligent in business and not to embrace a life of laziness in Jesus Name. AMEN

LIMITLESS


On this side of eternity, there always seem to be some limit to everything that happens to us. There is a barrier that one cannot exceed. In cars there is a maximum the car can accelerate to, in aeroplanes there is a height it can ascend to. You can think of others. However, there is another dimension where things are unlimited. Where everything seems possible. While returning from work during the week, God began unfolding to me about the mind. When you let the situations around you determine your Reality then you would experience Limits. But when you let your mind be the place where you conceive ideas and dreams then you are bound to create what is on the inside.

Scripture says "We have the mind of Christ". The Holy Spirit functions with  that mind. When you renew your mind God can have a place to unveil things to you.

Speaking with my Dad recently we talked about the growth of RCCG as a Church. When the Leadership was handed over to Pastor Adeboye, there were only 41 parishes. Today, the church is In 188 countries of the world with thousands of parishes and growing rapidly. The impact of the church is Global today through what God is doing through one man. What makes it more amazing is that all this is happening in the life time of one man. That's a picture of what it means to be limitless. Perhaps you're thinking of just growing up having a good family and dying. That's not it, you are created for Global relevance and Eternal Relevance.

Your life is meant to make a difference in this world. Today's word is to remind you that you're LIMITLESS. God made us to have dominion. In what ways are you limiting yourself? How can you begin to engage a LIMITLESS mindset today?
Don't limit God. Your thoughts limit the extent to which God can manifest his power in your life.

Central Truth: You are LIMITLESS.

PRAYER:
LORD, I refuse to limit you in my thinking. I begin to operate through the mind of Christ today and always in Jesus Name. Amen.

IT BEGINS ON THE INSIDE


I had a leading to share one of the Daily Dealings write up from last year. Though i added a little. Read and be Blessed.......

IT BEGINS ON THE INSIDE

There are certain principles that guide all of human processes
and events.There is such a thing as the inside-out approach to Life which connotes that every created thing is first and foremost
embedded on the inside before it materializes on the outside.
In other words, it can be said the reality of your life today is the
product of what was embedded on your inside days, months
and years ago. We can say that the reality of your Life in days to come will be a product of what is on your inside today.That's the reason why God wants to be so involved in your inner life. Paul the Apostle makes us understand that "It is God that works in you both to will and do of His Good pleasure"

God in the beginning spoke Light into the darkness, and its
evident that its only out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. Even likewise God spoke from his inner life.His inner Life was that of Light and so He spoke it out.

If there's any place you should allow God to work more in
your life, it should be on your inside.Pay attention to your inner
life.

Where we are today as a youth organization are things i had seen long before now. Where we are going in a couple of months and years have already begun to unfold. Don't toy with your inner life. It is the real deal.

Your Inner Life determines your Reality.

ACTION POINT: Examine your inner state,what are the dominant
thoughts there?

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Genesis 1:3

CONFESSION:
God works on my inside
I am constantly renewed with fresh grace and revelation.
God's word is my food and medicine
Therefore i grow daily.
