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

THE BURDEN OF FREEDOM!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on March 22, 2015 at 3:08pm
"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but because of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." Rom 8:19-22.

The greatest burden in the entire universe is the burden of freedom. Individuals, families, communities, societies, nations and creation as a whole are yearning for freedom. This isn't a longing limited to our days, but a deep longing for freedom since the fall of man. 

What is freedom? 
There are several definitions of freedom from different schools of thought, but most of the time, what is referred to as freedom is not freedom, but liberty. There is a difference between freedom and liberty. Liberty is simply what the world describes as human rights and some churches, as the aftermath of salvation and deliverance. However, freedom is something greater and of a higher dimension than liberty. 

I'll withhold the definition of freedom in this post to elaborate on it in my forthcoming book on the "Burden of freedom." You can experience liberty and be given liberty without entering into freedom. If liberty is not freedom, then there must be a better system of governance than democracy. For more insight, watch-out for my book "Beyond Democracy." 

Listen! There is one path to freedom, and that is the path of Truth. What is the truth? For more insight, Watch-out for my book" "The burden of freedom." 

Anyone who desires to keep you perpetually in their control and manipulations for selfish reasons only succeeds in his or her devilish aim by denying you the opportunity to discover the Truth. When you are denied the opportunity to find and discover the truth, you have actually been enslaved for life. I'll end here! Watch out for my book "THE BURDEN OF FREEDOM." DrBenard 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
