WHO ARE YOU?

Have you discovered yourself? If yes, tell me do you really know who you are? I am going to speak from my own personal experience. I have realized that as we grow each and every day; we start to discover our purpose or rather we begin to understand our purpose better. I have also discovered that so many things we desire to be as a child because we have seen people succeed in it, doesn't mean that’s what we are called for. Nobody desires to be a failure but if you are operating outside of your God given purpose my friend you are a Failure. Often times even after we have discovered ourselves, either through life’s event or any other way. We expect it to happen automatically. Life has thought me that just as you have discovered yourself so has the enemy of greatness. And he will do all he can to frustrate you from fulfilling destiny. Darling it’s not because of you, it’s because of how many others your discovery will save. Our God given purpose is not for us to liberate ourselves and family, we are called for a greater work. It is very important we affect even our community and the world at large. So can you imagine how many the devil will lose if you succeed? He will try all he can to keep you in bondage of darkness so as not to realize “WHO YOU ARE”. I am not writing only for people who are yet to discover themselves but most especially people who have discovered themselves and have allowed one or two failures distract them from their true identity. The minute you realize this is the devil trying to frustrate your fulfillment, you will not stay down; rather you will keep rising each time you fall. Often times writers don’t tell us the reality of life, a lot of people are living a fictitious lifestyle. It’s not because they don’t want to tell the truth but the fear of being judge by the truth. I am not called to write as if life came as a magic even though am yet to get to my destination, our foundation is laid from now. Don’t wait until you get there, set a standard now. One day each one of you will have my book in your hand, the truth of it will offend a lot of people yet it will liberate a lot of souls. My focus is the souls it will liberate because am called because of them. After you have discovered yourself, from my experience you will still fail but the joy of updating my Blog this morning is the Greatest Love of the one who created me. I don’t know about you but I am not an ordinary person. I am greatness itself not because of myself but the unfailing Love of God that uphold me. In case you are wondering what am talking about, sorry that’s how much I have discovered myself. I AM A LOVED CHILD. Hate me or love me, all that matter is the love from above, my friend if you have that you have it all. Sometimes it takes a wrong step to discover you, nobody want trials and tribulation. We all desire to be great. Only a great man who has been tested can stand, life has thought me that. I don’t know what you believe in but I testify to you, so many times have lost my mind, but I NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT HIM, I NEVER COULD HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT HIM. I receive strength each day and I get better every day. It is also important to have people who believe in you, that also strengthens you but before you confide in anyone make sure He/She is really a confidant not someone who wants to hear your story for fun or feel better about themselves. I pray for you in this Journey of discovery the Most High shall be your true guide, He is available to be your true guide are you willing to be lead by Him? Love you all.

JUST AS I AM

This blessed me this morning and I trust that it would bless you too.As I read through, what struck me most is the fact that self righteousness is worse than sin. It is worth pondering, are we living according to the righteousness of Christ or Self-righteousness ? The Lord will help us as we seek wisdom from Him to walk on the right part. I urge you to come to Him just as you are and He will work it out for you... Are you talented? Gifted? Skilled? But you are unable to breakthrough? Then try righteousness. There are two types of righteousness: the first one is self-righteousness, which is worse than sin, and the other is God's righteousness. Some people are trying to avoid being over righteous and therefore continue sinning, and another tries to be righteous and in that wise becomes self-righteous. None of these are acceptable; as the only righteousness we need is that imputed by God. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach. Sin is a stigma; it is like wearing a white cloth and having a stain on it. If we are righteous before God then we are wearing a white cloth and therefore cannot just hug anyone, as some have oil on their hands/body, and can put blemish on your white cloth. We may not understand sin from the perspective of the Spirit; but sin is capable of destroying the intimacy between you and God so that when you want to pray to your Dad in Heaven, it is like approaching your dad who is in a white suit and you have a lot of dirt on you - yet you want to hug him. God does not hate you, but he hates the dirt.

MAKE A MOVE!!!!!

How many time have you written a New Year resolutions and at the end of the Year you find out none of it was accomplish? Most times its not because we dint pray enough about it, Rather its because all we do is pray and don't Act. We cant continue to do things the same way and expect a different result. Even the bible explains in James 2:14-18 "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds." This year, I choose to make a move on each and everything I wrote. I believe Failure is when you stop trying. I urge you this year, Don't just sit and wish. Make it happen in your own little way. Make a move and watch heaven bless the move. As usual discouragement will come your way but don't Give up, let your focus be on the result not the work. Believe me at the end of the year you will be surprised. Have started and I tell you it working for me. THE TIME IS NOW..........MAKE A MOVE.

GOODBYE 2011

Its barely 7days to go and I already feel like goodbye. Woke up reflecting on as much event as I could remember in the year. The Joy, the pain, the Love, hurts, growth, disappointment, betrayal, inspiration and the list is endless. Luther sang "RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE" LIFE CAN TREAT YOU GOOD AND TURN AS COLD AS ICE. Life brings so much to us but in all this we shape or break our existence.

All the good and bad are what made us who we are right now. Have you had time to think about how you lived this year? The things you wish to change, the change you have made. As much as I feel bad about some decisions I made, Am proud of myself for some. The imbalance of Life keeps us going. I don't wanna bore you but use this medium to reach as many as I can. For everyone who has caused me pain, I receive strength to Forgive, for all I have caused Pain in this year I seek for forgiveness. For all those who has inspired me and that i have inspired, I pray for more Grace. For every Joy have had, I give God Praise. For Growth in my Spiritual life I owe it to God. For every friend have made, I love you,To my main crew (Pj,bugy & BK) I love you more. How can I forget my BB group Comedy Central,Its a source of laughter when am feeling blue and all the true friends i made from CC,KEEP THE FIRE BURNING. I cant mention you all but everyone who has made an Impact in my life this year, am blessed to have you in my life. To those who're gone, Its for an appointed time. "no hates" To My wonderful Baba Arike, My Special Unc D & BESTEST Aunty Pj, you all rock my World. Iya Arike aint left in this Journey, GOD bless you all. To my jewel (MO) My life is incomplete without you.

I SPEAK TO YOU 2012, I WILL LIVE BETTER, LOVE HARDER, INSPIRE MORE, GET STRONGER IN YOU LORD, WORK MORE, ACHIEVE GREATER AND BE MUCH MORE THAN I CAN EVEN IMAGINE. FROM ME ITS HAPPY NEW YEAR NOW....ITS INDEED A DECEMBER TO REMEMBER,AM THANKFUL.

VOLUNTEERING OR SERVING???

Most times when we get lazy to do some prominent things, We should not allow the flesh to overcome us because something special might be on the way. I got up very lazy to go to church today, I made too many excuses within myself. don't get me wrong I love to be in His presence, but most times I use the evening service to make up for the morning one...Its not enough. I dragged myself reluctantly got dressed and took my little Prince off we go.........As I drove, I was meditating on what I would speak about when am leading prayer in the prayer group next week. A whole lot of ideas came but then I could hear a quiet voice tell me, stop trying I would lead you. So I got to church and the service went as normal until the message time, and I knew right away why I came to church today. Presently am part of a ministry where have joined various group in other to be of services to the ministry and community at large, Its an Outreach. I avoid being a worker in church,I let my shyness and all other excuses take me away. Infact the first church I serviced, I did a behind the scene work which I loved but serving is not about where we want to be,rather where he want to send us. before I go into details of the topic, I would like to include the dictionary meaning of each word. Volunteer can simply be defined as A person who renders aid, performs a service, or assumes an obligation voluntarily, while the Act of Service is simply defined as the act of delivering a writ or summons upon someone. my opinion, they both mean the same thing but I think I heard this message because I need to change my attitude towards the service am rending to people especially in the house of God. Most of us when we are called to serve, we don't see it as a privilege, some of us even agree to do it just to please the Pastor. if you are reading this right now and you are serving your community, church or any other organization voluntarily ask yourself now, Why am I doing this? It is because we don't know why we are doing it that is why we don't give the right attitude to it. I realized today that the call I got to serve is not from anyone but the King Himself, It is the reason I was saved. Its not like we don't know this things but when we are reminded, It help us get the right spirit in whatever we do. We make excuses like volunteering is for some special people. We are called to serve 1 Peter 4:10 "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" we are called to serve in His army...God's will and God's way.

We are not just called to work in the ministry or our community for their gain,Its much deeper than that,we have to realize He is calling us to serve in His army. He might even ask us to do what we don't like. This days people only want to do the forefront work not dirty work, we do not realize Its the little we all do that actually rescue someone. When we are serving we think nothing is happening but the little we do has its daily effect. Our service is our Gratitude to His Love.I urge you today if you are already serving or still thinking about it. Do it with the right attitude, Live with a passion for His will, Serving is not a feeling. Our service should be Love and Gratitude based not Need base.Let your passion lead you by His spirit. Start where you can, with what you have. God is positioning you to check if there is a willingness to serve Him. Your service can rescue someone. All our service put together can rescue a life. He requires commitment from us.Take up what you have and give it. But remember none of this things can be done on our own. To serve right, Work under the control of the Holy Spirit. Allow the Holy Spirit to work His work through you. Live a life yielded to the Holy Spirit and serve with Joy. A grateful people knowing what we have been saved for.Duet28:47. Be Joyful serving, Serve the king with Gladness.... As for me and my household we would serve the Lord....
