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

LET YOUR “JUDAS” DO QUICKLY!

And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. John 13:27.

The betrayal of Christ by one of his Disciples by name Judas brought Christ to the fulfillment of his ultimate purpose. Judas unconsciously served as a facilitator of the "Easter" experience; he ignorantly aided Christ to do the will of God. That is the mission of every “Judas” in the life of every man/woman of purpose. Judas planted himself among the Disciples of Christ with a hidden agenda for material and financial gain; like every ambitious person, as his expectations delayed, he took matters into his own hands to get what he wanted. He betrayed his master, but on the other hand, his betrayal only served the interest of Christ ultimate purpose (His dead and resurrection for the salvation of mankind).TELL YOUR“JUDAS” TO DO QUICKLY! They are instruments to help you get to the ultimate fulfillment of your purpose.

YOUR “EASTER JOURNEY”, FROM YOUR “GETHSEMANE TO CALVARY” WILL ULTIMATELY REVEAL THE COMMITMENT OF THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE YOUR ASSOCIATES!

The Disciples of Christ and the multitudes who were singing his praise when he entered Jerusalem, were nowhere to be found when Christ began his "Easter" journey. You can’t really assess the commitment of the people who claim to be your associates, partners and friends until you embark on your own “Easter journey.". When you've bread and fish, it is difficult to assess the reason for the motivation of the people singing your praises. Only your “Easter Journey," from your “Gethsemane to Calvary," will assist you evaluate the commitment of those around you, to you and your vision. YOUR

"EASTER JOURNEY" WILL HELP YOU DISCOVER YOUR TRUE FRIENDS, PARTNERS AND ASSOCIATES!

Two important individuals appeared on the scene at a very controversial period in the life of Christ, when most of his disciples have deserted him. They were SIMON OF CYRENE who helped to carry the cross of Jesus and Joseph of Arimathea, who was handed the body of Christ for burial. These two important characters were never mentioned during Christ earthly ministry with his disciples. They surfaced at a time when there was no bread and fish, and Jesus's popularity was on a decline, and what was left was only his mission and purpose. To me, these two secret disciples were the real heroes of "Easter." On your own “Easter journey," you will discover your hidden friends and partners; they will stay when all others have gone. Easter is the story of salvation, and it also reveals the story of every man/woman on a divine mission for his or her generation. May this Easter season bring you joy and a greater appreciation of the wisdom of Easter! Dr Etta

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!

No nation can experience positive transformation unless it is rescued from the ignorance propagated by individuals who use religion and politics for self aggrandizement. There seem to be a romance between religion and politics aimed at taking captive the minds of the masses, deceiving and leading them to self-destruct. The 21st century church will stem the tides of these twin evils through a peaceful revolution with truth as its weapon. DrBenard  Etta
