YOUR BEST LIFE NOW

  


   I feel it's pertinent to share these lessons with you dear reader. They are life's lessons you can learn from and practice easily from the book 'Your best life now' written by Joel Osteen, one of my best pastors and author.

   From the book, I learnt that your journey to a brighter future begins with these 7 steps;

1. Enlarge your vision: You must conceive it in your mind before you can receive it in your hand. Matt 9:17, Isa 43:19.
 *Expect things to change for your favor for God always meets you at the level of your expectancy.
* if you can visualize it with your heart and mind, seeing it through the screen of God's word with your spiritual eyes, it can become a reality in your life.

2. Develop a healthy self image: What do you think you are? You will never rise above the image you have for yourself in your mind. In life, you'll surely become what you believe Matt 9:27-29

3. Discover the power of your thoughts and words. The mind is like a magnet it can easily attract those thoughts you keep on nursing and words  indeed are powerful. Proverbs 18:21, James 3:9

4. Let go of your past: You may have gone through things that nobody deserves to experience in life. Perhaps you were physically, verbally, sexually or emotionally abused. Maybe you have struggled with illness  or some irreparable physical problems. Although it's painful but let go. 
1 John 5:6, Hebrews 12:15
* Let go of those emotional wounds. Don't let bitterness take root.

5. Find strength through adversity: We all face challenges in life. We all have things that come against us. We may get knocked down on the outside but the key to living in victory is to learn how to get up on the inside. Hebrews 10:35, 1pet 4:12, Hab 2:3

6. Learn to give: it's not about money alone it involves resources, time, advice Etc. Genesis 12 :2 give and it shall be given unto you. The world is desperate to experience the love and confession of our God. Someone needs what you have.

7. Choose to be happy: Happiness is a choice. Choose to be happy despite your struggles and challenges. One of the healthiest things you can do is to learn to smile more often. Psalm 118:24

FORMERLY USELESS

FORMERLY USELESS In this journey of life, we get to hear about or meet people who are being considered as bad examples. People often give advice to others and say, 'do not be this or that person'  Lydia grew up in a toxic environment, being born out of wedlock and her naive mother could not really give her the upbringing she deserved. She was forced to navigate her way through life all alone. Often times, people referred to her as a useless child. She lived a life without sense of purpose till the day she was led to Jesus and her life experienced a turn around for good. You may be in a situation where people have looked at your life and termed you 'useless'. The good news is that even though you are a cultist, a thief, a fornicator, an adulterer or the likes, Jesus is ready to change your story. Onesimus was reintroduced to Philemon, his slave master urging him to take him back stating that ''Formerly he was useless to you but now he has become usef...

ABOUT LOVE

The cute guy came around and smiled at you, such that made your heart melt right inside of you and then he said Ï love you". The feeling was just indescribable, in fact you felt the whole world was revolving around you. He told you that you were the true definition of perfection and he couldn't live without you...   Yes, he may have loved you, but was it really love or ??? I don't think it was love because I learnt that you cant really love someone whose assets and liabilities you cant define. Ok... you looked good; your Brazillian hair, glittering dinner dress, diamond jewelleries, flawless make-up, beautiful shoes and irresistible cologne fragrance were all in tact.   He was attracted and carried away. You thought it was going to last forever...... Just after a while, he stops calling, ignores your calls, becomes too busy and gives countless excuses. It hurts, obviously true. It can actually make you feel less about yourself but here is God whispering in ...
