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

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo 

THE PRESENCE OF LOVE

When you are in love with someone, a walk in the rain becomes a welcomed chance to share an umbrella. An unexpected snow-storm provides the setting for a quiet afternoon snuggled in front of the fireplace together. What could be bad times are good when you are with the one you love. In the same way, a growing relationship with God and appreciation for His presence beside you can give you a whole new outlook on life's storms. From a short-lived cloudburst to a long and difficult winter, adversity offers yet another occassion to draw closer to the Lord you love - and who loves you even more. Nothing can happen to you that could be too small for this protective hands or big. Nothing you will ever face could be too serious, too difficult or too lasting to keep the warmth and closeness of his comfort away from your heart. When you are in love with someone, suddenly nothing matters quite so much as the fact that you are with your beloved and your beloved is with you.... SOS 6:3 ...

A mother's love

Its a love so divine and true A mother's love cannot be compared to another It is as sweet as honey... A taste that remains palatable Throughout a lifetime Her love is as warm as wool She goes through the hustle and bustle To ensure that life for her child is pretty cool As steady as a rock Mother's love remains unchanged Amidst faults and wrongs of her child She forgives A mother's love is as gentle as a dove She's always there with a dose of love Mother remains patient as Job Through the thick  and thin Even the highs and lows Quietly  teaching  and  correcting  in love For the hope she has ...
