USE YOURS WELL

Something happened more than ten years ago that has impacted my outlook of life. We wrote a test and one of the best students as usual scored a very high mark. While we were comparing scores, one of the students overwhelmed by the beauty of the performance said to him, "I wish I had your brain."

The fellow smiled and replied, "Even if you have my brain you won't use it well." That was a heavy blow struck below the belt but it was true. He explained that it was the he used his brain that produced results. The thing hit me hard because I had been quietly understudying him. I resolved to learn from that statement and I did.

Today many people want to be like somebody else, that's not bad if your calling is similar to theirs. But it is better to follow their example, use the principles they use, learn from their steps and then use it as guide to instruct yourself.

If you don't use what you are endowed with, desiring to be like men who are successes will only lead to frustration. God has given everyman unique gifts, learn from those who have used theirs well. DON'T JUST ASPIRE TO BE THEM, ASPIRE TO USE YOUR TALENTS AS PROFITABLY AS THEY HAVE USED THEIRS.

WAY MAKER.

GOD KNOWS YOUR FUTURE, But it's more than that; God determines your future. I saw the story of a man of wealth in the papers. There was an image of a fuel attendant on one side and that of a man smiling in affluence on the other. The man had risen from being a fuel attendant to owner of a viable oil company. I checked and I discovered his testimony wasn't peculiar, there are many more similar breakthroughs. Let us not make the mistake that some made in putting their experience, knowledge and exposure before the word of God. Years ago there was a famine in the city of Samaria (so tough that people began to exchange their children as food) and all policies failed. There was a total shutdown. The word of the Lord came one day that the famine would end the very next day and there would be surplus. It sounded incredulous and a high ranking officer said "even if God opened windows in heaven it wouldn't be." That was the end of him. God's word was fulfilled...

3 Reasons Why You Need Jesus

1. There is an afterlife. Even people that do not believe in God have an unspoken assurance within them that there is an afterlife. In the afterlife there are two destinations, good (heaven) and bad (hell). Jesus is the ONLY way to the good part. 2. There is  war in this life. Everyone is at war! War within, war without, war amongst, war everywhere. The enemy (devil) that we wrestle knows he has limited time to wreck his havoc. Our enemy is relentless and brutal, he has no respect for positions and titles, he works wickedness everyday. The only name he fears is JESUS, you need Jesus to win every war, have rest, peace and lasting victory. 3. Spiritual Fulfilment. Human beings are mere branches to the Tree (God). No matter how hard we try to satisfy ourselves with other things, there is a deep ache in our hearts if we don't have a relationship with God. Jesus is the only fulfilling link to the Father. Jesus is our spiritual lifeblood. If we are ever going shed the spi...
