The time to rise at the
crack of dawn & sleep in the darkness of dusk, has come. We are set to rise
from the ashes like the phoenix & disappear from life’s misery like smoke.
The tide has turned & the winds are blowing in our favour, this is the time
when we shall let loose the sails of our ships as we forge forward. As the rose
flower blossoms in the garden, we shall take it upon ourselves to snip the
thorns & enjoy its beauty.
If someone prays for patience, do you think God
gives them patience or does He give them the opportunity to be patient? If
someone prays for courage, do you think God gives them courage, or does He give
them an opportunity to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be
closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings or does He give
them an opportunity to love each other?
We are mighty warriors
sharpening our swords & readying our shields for battle, nothing shall
stand in our way. We are here to conquer & take over our fears, doubt,
despair, heartache, misery, pain, disappointments, downfalls, we shall come to
the top. What you think of yourself is more important than what others think of
you. Take heart for you are going to achieve that which you have set your mind
on.
Don’t find a way out of the situation, find a
way through it.
You may deem what am saying
as a myth or that am trying to just hype you up of what you can make of
yourself. Well, am not the determining factor in your life but yourself! It is
not going to be easy but it is achievable. I do understand that the times are
tough but you are an overcomer, who has faced many hurdles & has come out
unscathed & victorious.
Some days you wake up feeling on top of the
world & other days you are carrying the weight of the world.
As I repeatedly quote, “the
warmer the blanket the colder the future, the colder the blanket the warmer the
future”. The seeds you plant & the sacrifices you make will one day bear
fruit that you will see that it was worth it. If you change your mindset there
is nothing that is beyond you & out of your reach. No one said that it
shall be flawless or painless or tireless or manner-less, but your efforts
shall bear fruit sweet like the fig.
We tend to have hearty
connections with others of like mindedness or those who have become the apple
of our eyes. The connections we have with others in terms of relationships
should not be dictated by the thoughts of you by others or otherwise
manipulated with attitude, behavior, ego, hidden benefits or even
ignorance.
Food for
thought on things you should never tell people: Don’t tell people your
plans, they will sabotage you. Don’t tell people your weaknesses, they
will use them against you. Don’t tell people your failures, they will
always see you as a failure and never give you an opportunity. Don’t tell
people your next big move, move in silence. Take action and shock them with
your results. Don’t tell people your income or your source of income,
always make them wonder.
Did you know that whether
you are a husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, best-friends, partners,
colleagues & so forth, you need to appreciate & value all those
relationships? It is indeed funny how outside or inner forces interfere with
the healthy growth of one’s relationship no matter the type. You could be at
your work place & the colleague whom you used to compare notes with has now
become your mortal enemy.
One can reach their
breaking point in life when that which they hold dear gets lost. It turns the
warmest of hearts into freezing ice like the southern pole numbing all feeling
within. The question as to why life is unfair is one which is difficult in the
wise words of Shakespeare which he bluntly put forward is “to be or not be that
is the question”.
If you live in hate it
shall consume you like tormenting darkness & bring you down like the tower
of Babel. It is important to try one’s best to cherish that which you have in
your life. It is not a matter of playing mind games but to take that which your
other offers & knowing its worth.
Our loving Father up in heaven, I come before you thankful for another day that you have given me. I am alive & well because of your will & not mine. Lord you are the alpha & the omega & in you I put my trust. Jehovah Jireh, you are my provider & I do pray that your will be done in my life. Thank you Lord for all you have done for me. In Jesus name, I do pray. Amen!
