Ts DECEMBER.....Process, Patience and Paths

Its a great day yea? Its the first day of the last month of the year and I can't help but be thankful for God's mercies and grace. 2014 is coming to its end and I'm witness to it, not because of how I am but because of whose I am. Because my Father has counted me worthy to be alive.

As I kept thinking of how great it feels to see December 2014, I couldn't help but remember those who didnt get here. Those people who died a couple of hours/days/weeks before December 1st. Its sad and I pray most earnestly that majority of such would have had Jesus in their heart because at the end of our temporal existence on earth, the only factor that would count as regards where we spend eternity is having or not having Jesus in our hearts and what would count in the lives of those we leave behind is not how much money we had/how successful we were or how often we had

My thoughts on Choice!

°"The picture you paint as you go through life is your creation because God leads but you choose ultimately"°

☆God gives the raw materials, He deposits in us those things that make us unique (i.e. Our likes, dislikes, abilities, gifts and talents etc) and then He leaves us to choose how to workout/use these individualistic attributes, i believe that's why no two people can make of their lives the exact same thing and live it exactly the same way.

Excellence!!!

"Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well" This sentence has gradually become a cliche and until a few days ago I was one of those who knew of this sentence but didnt fully comprehend it. I've heard it a million and more times but I've only just heard it - it never sunk until I finally grasp the core of the message few days ago.

Now, I understand that in life, one thing leads to other things hence if you do one thing well, you'd get the opportunity to do other things.
No matter how little and insignificant something may look, if you are going to do it then let it be done excellently because that one little thing can open big doors if it was done well.
Only when you do the small well would you be trusted to do big things.  Even the bible says in Luke 16:10 that 'He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much' (KJV)

So, whatever you do, do it well (you never know where that BIG Opportunity will spring up from).

Let excellence show in all you do. As Sons of The Amighty, our Light should shine always that people will see our works (see the creativity,  the originality, the excellence) and give glory to our Father in Heaven.

...Let your light sooooooooooooooo shine.
...If you are going to do it, do it well.

Moment of Reflection

A time should come in everyone's life where they sit and reflect on the past, the present and the future. That point where you tell yourself the hard truths, accept it and work ahead. That moment when you dissect the situations/circumstances in your life, then drop the things that you need to, pick the lessons, gather strength, make appropriate amends, lean on God and move Ahead.

Recently I came to that time in my life.
Life was choking, It seemed like every stage of my existence had to be a battlefield, it looked like I was walking in circles, emotions were in chaos and so I took my life in my hands and made my choices.

I took time out alone, sat on the floor, crossed my legs and began to reflect on my life.

Word for the year.

The Year has began in earnest and amid the theme's of our various churches and the Word God has given each of us personally for the year, I'm led to write down for you two of my most recent favourite scriptures.

COL2:6  

(TLT-the Living Translation) 'And as you have trusted Christ to save you, so also trust him for your everyday problems. Live in vital union with him.'

I'm more into the first part of that verse that says (in my own words) that If you can trust Christ Jesus to save you then you can also trust Him for any of your other problems.
If Christ can save you, me, us all from eternal damnation and from the hands of the devil; If He could shed his Blood for us and Freely forgive you of all your sins and continually intercede for you as he is sitting at the right hand of God and showing him his nailed hands and feet in other to remind God that he has paid fully your debt; If God could rescue the Israelites from Egypt and Part the red sea; If God can feed the birds of the air and if he can clothe the lilies of the field and make them more beautiful than even Solomon in all his glory then what problem, what challenge, what obstacle, what bondage, what storm will God not take away from you, rescue you from or grant you faith and strength and grace to handle?

Where Does a Good Fruit come from?

A Tree is identified by the Fruits it Produces. A good tree would produce good fruits and so a bad tree would produce bad fruits.
The kind of Tree depends on how and where it is rooted.
Where are you Planted? How rooted are you?

The only way to become a good tree is to be planted in Christ, deeply rooted in Christ.
You become planted in Christ by BELIEVING In Him, but the depth of your roots depends on Your Faith and the only way to Build your Faith Is to Know God and the only way to know God is To via STUDYING HIS WORD AND PRAYING.
The more You Study and Pray, the better you know Him, the more you grow in Love (For God, For yourself, For the whole of Humanity), the stronger your Faith becomes and the easier it becomes to Obey God. When you obey God and live right you'd produce good fruits.
