THE POWER OF YOUR VISION: SELF CONCEPT 3

"I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me..." Phil. 4:13

It sounds humble to accredit every performance and outcome to God; however, it is also important to note that God has given everyone capacity. But the potency of this capacity is down to how we see ourselves and how much responsibility we want to take. 

God will never be responsible for your personal hygiene, No! He has given you capacity for that.

In taking on Goliath, David trusted in God's deliverance but God was not the one who gave the slingshot. 

You cannot afford to sit back and say God will do it; there is a reason why God has given you capacity.  

If you want to go into a business, the first thing, is to believe in your God-given capacity to make that business work. 

If you want to begin a project, the first thing, is to believe in your God-given capacity to deliver on the project. 

Believe it or not, you have capacity; how do I know? 

Angels didn't build Airplanes, Cars or ships...but men did. Men who believed in their God-given capacity. 

The house you are currently living in, wasn't designed and built by Angels...Men built it. 

It's time you start seeing your self properly and begin to place appropriate demands on your God given capacity. 

Your problem is not the devil, your problem is not "enemies", your problem is not the "Government" of the nation you reside in, your real problem is lack of value for the capacity God gave you. 

Stop seeing those who sleep for half the hours you sleep as superhuman, you too have the capacity. The man who has better outcomes in his business is not any more special than yourself. It's all about capacity. 

Don't mistaken a closed tap for lack of water. If you don't place a demand on that tap, you won't experience the over flow.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

RELEVANCE: AN OFFSPRING OF VALUE

It is one thing to be heard and it is entirely something different to be valued; they both come with different demands. Actually one is a lot cheaper than the other, What does it take to be heard? Just speak. But to be valued will place a demand on our character, personal discipline, personal leadership, ability to be calm and coordinated in the midst of adversity, etc. The list is just endless. It's hard work, yes...real hardwork. 

A husband want to be  valued by his wife, parents want to be valued by their kids, employees desire their bosses to value them...but how many people do really want to pay that price? Value  is not cheap, it is perceived, it is most times reflected by the carrier of it.  The problem is that sometimes we want to buy a Bentley at the price of a Beatle which implies sometimes people want to be valued but think it's just about 'speaking' or voicing an opinion. It is very possible that you are the most vocal at your place of work and the person who is most valued is not as out spoken as you are.

It is not about colour, it is not about your sex or race. It is simply about VALUE. To have your say, to have your way, to be effortlessly influential, let us think about being valuable; because when we are, even when we are quiet, work coleagues will seek for your contribution.

''....sometimes we want to buy a Bentley at the price of a Beatle...''

Jesus was heard and was valued, Joseph (as a prisoner and a slave) was heard and was valued, you too...yes! I mean you too can be heard as well as valued. It takes a choice to be the one who is valued. Those who want to be heard, always complain and nag if their opinions are not taken but those who want to be valued, temporarily ignores every one and focus on developing and improving their values and it only takes time before the world starts to assemble at their office for relevant counsel.

You are a Bentley, stop settling for the status of a Beatle. Think becoming valued, not becoming heard. Remember, talk is cheap and just anybody can talk...but TRUE value is cultivated.

CHANGE INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT 2

Haven failed my UK Driving test four times within 12 weeks, my instructor said something as he began to prepare me for my fifth attempt; he said 

"on the day of the test, if you keep driving as a learner, you will return home as a learner but if you drive as a Licensed driver you will go home with your Full Drivers License". 

What was he asking of me...? Change...I needed to Change attitudinally into the person I wanted to become. 

Stop blaming everyone and everything around you for your current position. That is you...being the old you, playing the victim. This might not sound sweet but "the government IS NOT your problem, your employer IS NOT your problem, your pay cheque IS NOT the problem, your spouse/partner IS NOT the problem". 

The real problem is ME...yes...that's right! Stop expecting things to change when you are not willing to go through the crucible of change yourself. 

I don't care who might have hurt you in the past, you need to drop all of those anger, bitterness, resentment and hatred you have been nurturing all these years...it's a weight- DROP IT! Those whom you hold the grudge against are so free living whereas you are dying-DROP IT! 

Begin to see in you the person you aspire to become tomorrow, and start to mimic/rehearse that person today. 

Stop saying "those rich people"...excuse me, I thought you are one of them. Start saying "...We billionaire CEOs..."...yes! that's right! 

Do not let your current circumstance become your vision...NO! Make your prospect your vision from right where you are. 

Believe in what God made...God made you...and He did not make a failure!

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

SOW COURAGE 5

Some people have prayed all kinds of prayers...some people have just completed their yearly fast, probably some others are still fasting. 

Let me use this medium to give you an idea of what God will do: 

Just like Israel, God is planning to totally take you out of Egypt (2016 experiences) but he will take you through the Red Sea...yes! your "Career and Business Red Sea"

Will you allow fear to get in the way? Will you rather opt for average (remaining where you used to be)?

God will start giving you ideas that will look too big for your imagination. He will bring you into a land where there are giants that needs to be dispossessed. 

Will you like the 10 spies say "...they are stronger than we are...we be not able.." or "that kind of billion dollar opportunity is not for me...it's too big"?

Like David, he will bring you before "Goliath" which is your ticket to your enthronement. 

Will you give it your best shot or act timid because you don't look physically built like "Goliath"?

I will close with this...

Josh 1:6 "...Be strong and be of a good COURAGE..."

Josh 1:7 "...Only be thou strong and VERY COURAGEOUS.."

Josh 1:9 "...Be strong and of a good COURAGE..."

Friends, average courage will deliver average results, good courage will deliver good results and great courage will deliver great results. Zero courage, will inspire zero action and ultimately zero result.

The choice is yours.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
