PUT YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS 3

There is this group of guys that I keep learning from all the time; interestingly, we all know them for something not commendable, however, God in his infinite Wisdom still acknowledged the potency of their mentality. 

I call them the "Babel Masterminds"

Let's check how it all started:

"...and they said one to another...LET US MAKE...LET US BUILD A CITY and A TOWER, whose top may REACH UNTO HEAVEN...and let us MAKE US A NAME (make an impact whiles we are alive)..." Gen. 11:3-4 KJV (paraphrase are author's). 

Oh wow!...very clear goals...if you are talking about BIG DREAMS, no one has broken this record yet. 

God had to literally come down to stop them...NOT THE DEVIL...they didn't need to fast about it, of course they don't come across as though they had any relationship with God. 

Now, let's put that in perspective...these were men with a very HIGH RESOLVE to maximise their stay on earth. 

A City and A Tower? 

Interestingly, they didn't talk about money, not capital...When God said they can't be stopped he didn't say so because of the size of their Bank statements...No...

They had a possibility Mental Framework that will translate into Real time Hard Work that will deliver their objective. [Gen. 11:6] 

They were not just talkers...they were doers. They were willing to PUT IN THE AMOUNT OF WORK necessary to make that happen. 

Friends, I have great respect for spirituality and spiritual exercises...I also engage to build up myself spiritually...however, these were men that will not Fast or Pray about this size of dream...they were ready to DO IT...WORK IT...WORK IT! 

Even Money or the lack of it couldn't stop them.

If God came down to stop them...it meant they were unstoppable! 

I need you to begin to see life as warfare...where laziness is the enemy. This is an enemy that needs to be conquered every minute, every day, and every week...this enemy never dies...and so the battle is for life. 

Sleeping for 8 hours is not in your best interest, you can ask any achiever out there...but underachievers will say otherwise. 

Success is never owned...It's Rented..and the Rent is due EVERYDAY.

Greatness never goes on Sale...The Price Is The Same All Year Round.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

PUT YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS 2

Let us try to solve a fundamental problem in the school of Achievement. The pathetic bit is that those who have the problem don't even know they have a major problem...because there is always a sentimental justification to it. 

So what then is this problem? 

I call it the lazy man's philosophy - "nobody wants to help me". 

What is help? 

Help is a 20% boost that makes your 80% reach 100%. 

Your 80% constitutes: 10% of initiative and 70% of NON-NEGOTIABLE PERSONAL INPUT OR EFFORT. 

From the above definition, you will see that to begin anything in life...you don't need Help [20%]. Go and get busy about your 80% first...then with or without the 20%, you are already on your way to achieving whatever it is you have set your mind on. 

A lazy man interprets it the other way around: He believes Help is 80% and his input is 20% and so he sits all day saying...

"I don't have anybody"

"I don't know anybody"

"I need capital"

and then days turn out to weeks, weeks turn into months and months turn into years...a full grown adult has decided to be his own problem. 

Stop Planning Your Life Around Someone else's "Help" because Help is usually not an obligation.

Nobody...Nobody...even those who have promised to help you...those who once helped....NOBODY OWES YOU ANYTHING. 

Stop sitting around....Go and ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE. 

These days I hear lazy and irresponsible religious people talk about "Destiny Helper". They pray it, they sing it. Let me say this...

Something sounds "religious" or "spiritually deep" doesn't necessarily make it True. 

Okay...if you succeed who is the first beneficiary? Is it your uncle? How about when you turn yourself into a liability...who suffers the most? Your Cousin? 

Jesus once had a conversation with a man who literally sat down at a spot for 38 years in the name of "No helper". Jesus asked...

Jesus: Will thou be made whole?

Impotent Man: Sir, I have no man...

John 5:1-9 [KJV, paraphrase are author's]. 

How long have you been holding back? 

  

You OWE YOURSELF 80%...GO AND PAY YOUR DEBT!

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

PUT YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS 1

So...someone has been busy all year, justifying their inaction, justifying their lack of initiative, justifying their liability status to those around them, justifying they don't have a job....is that you? 

So...what's this story of yours? 

I came from a poor background?
I don't have the right education?
My parents didn't send me to school?
From a broken home?
My job sucks?
I need capital?
My siblings don't care about me? 
It's too hot?
It's too cold?
The Government?
The Economy? 

I can't do that kind of job

I'm a female?

I'm a single Parent?

I'm a Teenage mum? 

I'm not tall?

I'm not beautiful enough?

I'm black?

I'm white?

I'm under 30?

I'm over 40?

What exactly is your story?

Have you ever observed "stories" and "results" never see eye-to-eye? You are either the friend of one or the other. 

Excuses pay no bills...Excuses don't go to the Medal stand. Excuses don't earn you your spot. 

There was a man, named Abraham...and at age 75, God gave him a specific instruction: 

"...Lift up NOW thine eyes, and look (DREAM) from the place where thou art (Dream from YOUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE) Northward...Southward...Eastward and Westward (Dream Big)..." Gen. 13:14 (KJV paraphrase are author's)

It starts from where you are...not when things change...no...right there...in this your current story...right in your current predicament-Start Dreaming again. 

Yes, it wasn't your fault you lost the job, it wasn't your fault the application was declined...but the story doesn't end there. 

You've got to dream again!

You might not be responsible for where you are today but your dreams are responsible for where you will end tomorrow. 

Zero dreams will produce a zero future. 

No one can dream for you! 

If you don't want to be lame...quit playing the blame game. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
