enCOURAGEr

   There are times when a man must decide whether by making up his mind or doing whatever is required of Him. The word "encourage" means to make someone to be more determined, hopeful, or confident.

When a man makes a decision and needs back up, just to discover that people aren't supporting him. It downgrades and could lead to giving up on their goals. It doesn't feel good and might end up crushing the person. Except if the decision made is destructive, the other person might not be happy about the discouragement, but in the end, he/she will definitely laugh and say thank God for that man/woman's advice. 

An encourager helps in the place of doubt. Some people aren't doubting, they are clear about what they want to do but they only need someone else's opinion just to know if they are doing the right or wrong thing. It might not do much on the decision but someone else's point of view in line with theirs' makes them happy and make them feel align.

Out of all decisions to make in life, salvations the best of it all. I stand to encourage you dear, don't doubt it, it is indeed a good thing to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and personal savior. Make up your mind and you'll be surprised at the result of this decision. Taste and see that the Lord is good.

We can also encourage people in different ways. It might be in actions or words. We live in a time and era where discouragement from people is the order of the day especially when your opinions/ideas/intentions are good, but they have little to offer. Well done goes a long way. It shows that you are observing, believe, and appreciate the fellow.

But if you find yourself in a situation where nobody encourages you, summon courage and believe that the great ENCOURAGER will be with you and guide you all the truth you need. Before you look around look within. Encourage and appreciate yourself and your ideas. People sometimes see the way you love what you do and then encourage you not to give up, but when you don't motivate yourself, who will? 

You will be able to encourage others when you have enough courage to face your challenges. Courage is a virtue from God through the help of the Holy Spirit. You can also be a channel of encouragement to others. Before you can overflow, you need to have. Be encouraged.

 Be hopeful. Stay positive. Love what you do and most importantly believe in the Lord your God and you will prosper. In Him alone can you find the fulfillment of man's shortcomings. He wants the best for you. Believe me, all those ideas came from Him(it's like a seed that needs to be watered). Only Him can nurture it till it becomes a great tree. 

Don't give up on God, ask whatever you want in the name of Jesus and you will receive it. He is ready to give abundantly beyond your imaginations. He is the GREAT ENCOURAGER. You can always count on Him. 

 SHALOM!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
