2018 New Year



As we begin 2018 we are beginning a new lap. A new year! May you be rejuvenated, excited, equipped with God’s mercies that are New every morning. Run the race set before you and run it well. Knowing we have cheering us on those heroes of faith we read of in the bible. Telling us they conquered and you can too!
“Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-3‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Grow your CV: Be exceptional

You will never grow an exceptional portfolio doing only what is required by your job description. Napoleon Hill coined it well when he said, Do more than what you are paid for, 'The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does'. Many people complain that opportunities do not come their way, well most people are not well deserving of those opportunities either. The word of God tells us that a man's gift will make room for Him, He will not stand before obscure men. David, was a shepherd boy. His job description was to tend his fathers flock. However we learn when David stood before King Saul He sold the skills that he had acquired on his own volition . A job is just a platform for you to develop yourself into becoming the kind of person you want to be. Be the Architect of your life. The brick company cannot provide you with bricks and a housing plan on how to build the house. Likewise your employer does not dictate how far you can go in this...

Yet though i walk through the valley of the shadow death, I will fear no evil

One day I was walking past a funeral parlour and I suddenly thought, wouldn't it be wierd if I started wailing? Yes, the African way of mourning traditionally is wailing, weeping or mourning whatever way you feel best describes the way you feel at that particular moment. However, this is the thing, my passing through a  funeral parlour doesn't make me a corpse. It doesn't speak anything to the person that I am, it doesn't diminish my being alive or the person that I am. Psalms 23:4 says "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." So, what situation are you passing through? It does not define you. Keep walking and sooner rather than later you will have walked through its length and it will soon be a distant memory. Stay blessed and keep Jesus as the focal point of your life.
