You are good seed. You don’t know the amazing things God has in store for you. Why don’t you start seeing yourself the right way? Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, how big the obstacles are, the mistakes you’ve made, start focusing on the fact that you’re a person of destiny. The Creator of the Universe handpicked you for this particular time. It’s your time to shine. It’s your time to step into new levels.
- Joel Osteen

Late night musing:

Your values, principles, character etc will be tried & tested.
May we not fail/fall when we're tempted/tested.

At the end, it's not so much about our acceptance before men, but an approval from God. Joseph escaped from Portiphar's wife. He said, I will not do this wicked thing against God (his concern was not even with Portiphar)

We're not perfect but striving to be more like Jesus with help from the Holy Spirit. He was tempted in all ways just as we're being tempted, yet without sin. The word of God admonishes us to be holy just like our God is Holy.
I pray: May we find help, in Him, to fulfil this call.

It's just a matter of time.

A Pioneering Spirit.

"If you can, be first...but if you can't be first, create a new category in which you can be first"

I heard this quote some years ago and it's stuck with me.

"There are things God does and there are things we do. God doesn't totally solve our problems. He gives us opportunity to solve our problems but we take advantage of it and we build and we plant the fruits." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

I am a Planter & I am a Builder

Pursue purpose above all else. Don't be afraid to forsake all else in pursuit of purpose. Having a deep sense of fulfilment is far better than trying to please everyone else than your Maker. it is finished is better than I am finished!

There are things God will do to favor you...but there are also things you must do to take advantage of the favor. He has given you the timber to build and the fruit to plant trees. - Dr. Mensa Otabil

You will build houses.
You will plant fruits.

Let's stop complaining about our disadvantaged history/background and take personal responsibility of our present. It's the restlessness to achieve that breaks the yoke of the past." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

When God Opens The Tap:
"It may not seem BIG
It may not seem IMPRESSIVE
It may not seem SIGNIFICANT

But God says to you, in the valley I will open up something to you that looks small, that looks insignificant ...DO NOT DESPISE IT."

At age 5 his Father died.
At age 16 he quit school.
At age 17 he had already lost four jobs.
At age 18 he got married.

Between ages 18 and 22, he was a railroad conductor and failed.

He joined the army and washed out there.
He applied for law school he was rejected.
He became an insurance sales man and failed again.

At age 19 he became a father.
At age 20 his wife left him and took their baby daughter.

He became a cook and dishwasher in a small cafe.
He failed in an attempt to kidnap his own daughter, and eventually he convinced his wife to return home.

At age 65 he retired.
On the 1st day of retirement he received a cheque from the Government for $105.
He felt that the Government was saying that he couldn’t provide for himself.

He decided to commit su***de, it wasn’t worth living anymore; he had failed so much.

He sat under a tree writing his will, but instead, he wrote what he would have accomplished with his life. He realized there was much more that he hadn’t done. There was one thing he could do better than anyone he knew. And that was how to cook.

So he borrowed $87 against his cheque and bought and fried up some chicken using his recipe, and went door to door to sell them to his neighbours in Kentucky.
Remember at age 65 he was ready to commit su***de.

But at age 88 Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Empire was a billionaire.

Moral of the story: Attitude. It's never too late to start all over.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR ATTITUDE. NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS.
You have what it takes to be successful. Go for it and make a difference. No guts no glory. It's never too old to dream.

If you still have a dream lying dormant within in you and are still willing to go for it. Type "Still Dreaming" .

God Inspires Us To Speak!
Jeremiah 1:6-10

6. Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to , for I am only a youth.”
7. the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall .
8. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD.”
9.Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
10. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
