INSPIRED MESSAGES

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

SHIFTING FROM LACK TO POSSIBILITY!!!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on March 25, 2015 at 2:15pm

Helen Keller was physically handicapped yet she traded the titles of blind, deaf and mute given to her as a child, for the titles of scholar, philosopher, author, motion picture actress, traveler, lecturer and winner of countless awards and accolades. Later, she was asked, “What can be more dangerous than physical blindness?” She replied “A blinded mind."

Though Helen Keller was blind, she did not allow her external and physical handicaps to turn her into a liability. This is what shifting from lack to possibility is all about.


What status quo are you operating in?

What "label" have the society given you? What limitations do you think you have in your life and career? Like Helen Keller, you can rise above your limitations to become what friends, society and your educational specialization say you can’t become. It is time to doubt your doubts about yourself.

William Shakespeare said: “Our doubts are traitors; they make us fear the good we often might win by fearing the attempt."

Don't settle for who you are at the expense of who you can become. The largest room in the world is called IMPROVEMENT. If you refuse to improve, you may be removed. You can go pass the brackets surrounding your life to become what your situations and circumstances say you can’t become. It’s time to take another leap in life. It’s time to undertake journeys. There is a place in every place called forward. See you there!!! Dr.Benard 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
