Decisions - exclusively inclusive

It is said that , “ We make our choic-

es and at the end our choices make

us”. Not only do our choices make

us , but they make others too.

Every person on earth has the ca-

pacity and capability to have an

effect on the behavior and develop-

ment of another. Relationships are

the conveyor belts of influence ,

attitudes and beliefs.

All of us are agents of what attracts

us — good or bad . We must com-

prehend that our actions are from

our decisions and our decisions are

from our meditation , our medita-

tions are from suggestions by godly

and ungodly spirits. This now puts

you and me as kings and queens

that are constantly advised and

convinced to think and act a pre-

scribed way.

Your decisions have a good or bad

effect and affect on others and yourself.

Therefore your decisions translate to

many generations , your decisions

transmit your character and your deci-

sions expose the kingdom you repre-

sent.

Your decisions are only personal for a

short time . Your manner of life will ex-

pose your decisions.

My decision to pursue purity in all its

fullness has already positively impacted

the youth around me. Furthermore, it is

not enough to decide once ; you must

feed your decision by exposing your

sight and ears to material that build-up

and arouse your conviction to your love-

decision. In order to learn , to love and

to lead like the Lord Jesus Christ . We

must decide to learn what He learnt, to

love what loved and at the end of the

day ; we are leading like Him.

Suicide - The poem

I am suicide
The son of Guilt
And Depression
I live in low self-esteem
Where mockery evolves
I go to a school called
Destructive criticism
My teachers are Mrs. Obesity
And Mr. Thin Slick
Here the rich and the poor
Share the same fate
Alcohol helps us to forget
Our miseries
Drugs take us up to into
Short rest
Church tries to encourage us
To live in faith
Good and bad children
Quiet and talkative

Loved and those unloved
Think about me
Yes! Me Suicide
In situations that
Labor depression
From a guilty conscious
I emerge
I prey on broken hearts
Top celebrities
Known politicians
Rich rollers
Never ignore me
In fearful and
Hopeless times
Yet without doubt
I am a hell-breed
Call me a condition,
A situation, an event
Even a thought

I am ready to sell
You death
With a unlimited warranty
Of tormenting hell.

The place of waiting

One cold Sunday I decided to prepare our coal stove at
home . I first inserted old news papers and dry pieces of
wood and lit both of them up . The mixture burnt so
well until I inserted a bucket of coal - silence broke. The
high raging fire seized . I was now worried .

I looked deeper into the stove to check for a spark only
to find nothing . I then went outside to check the chim-
ney and to my surprise - there was smoke . I decided to
leave the stove for some few minutes as the evidence of
smoke meant that something was burning . On my
doubtful return - I saw and heard sparks . Now i knew
completely that something was burning .


Sometimes in life like the stove with everything inside - we
take time to burn. Instant things are non-durable meaning
they are quick to finish .
Just because you have certain gifts , talents and a righteous
life doesn't mean you are ready yet for the great ministry you
are called for, even Jesus Christ though He was God lived
under the seasons of time .
Remember "There is a time for everything under the sun" .
Seasons are locked in time and time is already locked by
God's hands .

Acquisition doesn't equal character but Acquisition plus
God's affirmation multiplied by character equal complete
readiness . Wait for the gunshot on the track of your life's
purpose. As you wait - excel at and in the place of waiting.

C-H-R-I-S-T

Creditability lives in referential 

and continuous experience.

Humility exists in the ability to be willing to learn from the Lord, to 

live with the Lord and to love like the 

Lord in order lead like the Lord.

Relationship with God, others and yourself - where reflection, rectifi-

cation, reconciliation, repentance and restore occurs.

Influence reassurance tactful training/teaching, exemplary emphasis, 

momentum-building mentorship and interactive inspiration.

Sharing reinstates value, compatibility, capability 

and compassion.

Teaching integrates character, directs discipleship, unveils armour, 

fumes faith, excites expectation, disciplines desire and affirms mission.

Loving others unconditionally

There are people I never got to know because of what I heard, I thought
and began to say about them and there are people who never got to
know me because of what they heard, thought and began to say about
me. Neither of us are innocent. I was challenged as I sat alone in my
room by this thought that I began to introspect myself, to recall the exist-
ence of such people as I prepared to reconcile with them.
Jesus Christ remains my inspiration and teacher to understanding people.

It is through Him that I learnt that whatever treatment you desire from
others – you must be willing to initiate so much that my heart flooded
with the following words re-quoted, “You can give without loving but
you can’t love without giving”. Again Jesus teaches us to love without
limits and without favouritism. And this we will be able to do by
“Loving God with all our hearts and minds”. No man who loved God
treated others badly, no man who loved God embraced division over
unity and no man who loved God kept this love to himself for it is con-
tagious – like a flood that quenches the thirst of the earth so is the man
that devotes himself to God through the Word.

During the days of Christ’s ministry, spectators mocked Jesus for sitting
and eating with sinful men. It was their lack of understanding and
knowledge as why Jesus Christ had come. God didn’t judge and still
doesn’t judge like people. His sight is never short nor is His mercy misdi-
rected.

Until we as the body of Christ root in love; we will win less souls for this
is a matter of inside-out. We can’t bring souls into divisions; we must be
united in our minds and in our hearts regardless of what our church
names or who our founders are – Jesus Christ is enough to unite us.
Back to understanding people. We must individually understand that we
are at a position to influence others and that others are in a position to
influence others – we are much related. The message you send out will
bring results in. A message carried with consistent application never miss-
es the spot.


Speaking about Love is information but living in Love is total transfor-
mation. People never change until they decide to – why not be a phe-
nomenal influence to their decision by living in Love?

Your mercy not your judgement!

You will never get to see and experience the best of everybody you meet because all you do is cling to the gossip of who they were rather than who they are now.

Reference is good but when your referer is bitter towards the person at inquiry - that's your chance to be a unifier. 

Jesus knew all about the short tax collector who hung on a tree just to see Him . This short and cruel man as seen by others wasn't worthy of the Lord's presence especially in his home to feast . It wasn't any spoken sermon or prayer that changed him but rather the humble and forgiven attitude Jesus Christ portrayed as He dined in this short man's house. 

Friend , what if me and you stopped judging others based on their past  or present but rather on how God sees them - the best versions of themselves. 

It is difficult to do the above if your belief system about yourself is out of proportion in terms with God's grace and His righteousness. 

I will allow you to conclude on this yourself .

Vision 101

Vision is given by God and it is transferred via methods that God chooses to use. Imagination, daydreams, angelic visitations, night dreams, God-to-man encounters and through thoughts deposited in one’s heart.
You know a vision is from God because it edifies your spirit, it challenges your level of faith and it is completely rooted in love.

Leaders in all spheres need a vision from God because they are responsible for God’s people.
Why do leaders need a vision from God?
1. A vision from God has consistent instructions and direction.
2. A vision from God arouses the faith and trust of the leader in God.
3. A vision from God demands conviction and character.
4. A vision from God is timed by God when to finally manifest.
5. A vision from God complements and adapts to the culture of God’s kingdom.
The provision of the vision is within the Giver of the vision, everything on earth is God’s so fear no men and believe God without doubt.

God has equipped you and other enablers to tend and to keep the vi-sion.
Leaders can acquire visions from God if only they can ask and submit to our Father. Without faith, leaders will not experience the rest that comes with trusting God. Leaders will likely be intimidated by the vision if they don’t know God. Leaders will become weary from their own efforts in trying to carry out the vision given by God without God.

A vision is purposeful. A vision presents the end in the beginning. A vision is seasoned. A vision is edified by good counsel. A vision will in-trigue virtue. A vision will demand love to be its anchor.
When leaders make the vision given by God plain for all to see, the vision will become strong in the eyes and hearts of the leader and everybody entrusted to the leader. Therefore the ultimate desire will be for the manifestation of the vision.


THE VISION-CARRIER AND VISION-BEARER

One of the greatest setbacks to the fulfillment of a God-given and God-inspired visions is the enabled failure not to capture it.

Why is it important to write a God-given vision down?
1. To validate its manifestation.
2. To remind you of what God said would happen.
3. Even when you die prematurely; the vision will still stand.
4. To serve as a resource of direction to them who are entrusted to run with it.
5. To edify one’s faith and trust in the Almighty.
6. The vision in plain writing is a prophecy.
7. To bring comfort and closure

The vision-bearer is not necessarily the vision-carrier. The vision-bearer is instructed to write it down, make it plain on tablets understandably. This means that the vision bearer possess the ability to inscribe and is fa-miliar with the language of the people, he/she is equipped for this work.
The vision-carrier is given divine sight.

Everybody will see the vision but may not have the divine and entrusted sight of the carrier who has the speed and enthusiasm to run with the vision.
Though the vision given might seems too impossible, unattainable, unrealistic and too far-fetched. Add the virtue of patience to your faith for it is for an appointed time.

The vision-bearer is promised to see the manifestation of the vision like Moses who saw the land God promised to His people but didn’t enter it.
