WHAT DOES THE WORD "SUCCESS" MEAN TO YOU?

The battles against your life are not against your success, but more against you using your success for the right purpose. A Failure in life is not someone who is not a non-achiever, but an achiever who is ignorant of the purpose attached to his or her achievements. The world defines success based on what people have and who they are; success is none of the above. Who you are, and what you have are merely raw materials for success. Success is what one ultimately accomplishes by employing and deploying what one has and who one is. Many people are being distracted by what they have and who they are, instead of focusing on what they can accomplish using what God has given them.

There is a purpose attached to everything; doing business with the consciousness of purpose in view is an evidence of wisdom. Don't celebrate "what," at the expense of "why." Dr Benard Etta

DON'T WAIT FOR MIRACLES, INITIATE ONE!

Nothing happens by chance, "A body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an external force," says Isaac Newton. 

Are you expecting miracles in any area of your life? If yes, we pray this brief message inspires you to do the needful.  

When we Do our BEST, God will do the REST! We can't expect God to do his part when we fail to do ours. The scripture says, "Faith by itself if it does not have works, is dead." James 2, verse 17. Did you get that? 

Miracles are workable; the scriptures speak of the working of miracles. Instead of waiting for a miracle, you can initiate one by doing the needful! 

God's intervention is not an excuse for irresponsibility; nether is God a patron for the passive, nor heaven an asylum for failures. If we choose to do nothing with our time, energy and resources, which the Almighty has given us, we will rot and rust away.

God did not create the heavens and the earth by sitting down and claiming promises. He stepped out of eternity into time and worked for six days, which is equivalent to Six thousand years in our human calculation and rested on the seventh day.

1 Peter 3, verse 8. 

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. 

In Genesis 2, verse 8, God did what most of us have never done: He planted a garden. Most of us want to eat fruits, but we don't want to plant a garden. A generation that believes in prosperity without principles, success without work, Privileges without responsibilities is a generation without a future.

It's time to arise! If you sleep, your life will slip off. To be seasoned, you must reason. To have worth, you must embrace work, not as punishment, but as an opportunity to shape your destiny. 

Convert your confession into a profession; it takes just that to reach the ultimate of your potential. See you there!

Wisdom To Turn Trash Into Treasure

The wisdom to turn trash into treasure; to make sense out of nonsense, to transform obstacles into miracles; pain to gain; setbacks into a setup for a comeback is the real measurement of maturity. Sometimes, God may not remove the necessity, but would give you the wisdom to transform it into an invention. When Israel saw Goliath, they saw a problem, but David saw an opportunity for greatness. You can't rise above your perspective and perception of issues. I wish you a blessed week.  DrBenard Etta

 

Don't Mistake Disgrace For Grace!

When it is too easy, it isn't always a sign of God's grace at work; it may also be an indication that the "object or mission" even though fabulous, might be of little eternal consequences.

The ideas, visions, and dreams, which have actually changed the world positively, and impacted time and eternity didn't come easy. The absence of battles may not necessarily be an indication of a breakthrough. It might as well be an indication that the axe head, representing the "edge of effectiveness" is missing.

Why on earth would Hell fight an idea, vision and movement when it's aware it isn't longer a threat? That's why the devil sponsors some churches and ministries since they don't threaten his overall plan.

The bottom line is, when one is no longer a menace (threat) to Hell, Hell will stop fighting the individual, while concentrating its resources to fight those carrying the most dangerous lights, which can destroy its deceptions. May God help us to think deep in order not to mistake disgrace for grace. Ponder to be a wonder!
