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!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
