Leave the carry overs behind

-


When you live with the hurts, failures and setbacks of yesterday in today, you are actually living in yesterday today, it is only the date that has changed, but the reality remains unchanged. Each new day present our lives with the opportunity to reset the time of our lives to zero and start afresh. 

The hurts and pains of yesterday will always want to define your life and stripe you of today’s joy, and envelope you from seeing your today's glory. Yesterday will always want you to have no reason to rejoice today because you were hurt, that is why Jesus asked us to live one day at a time, so that today is not a carry-over of yesterday. 

There are two enemies of today’s joy; the bad experiences of yesterday and the fear of uncertain tomorrow you should always remind yourself that yesterday is a past with all its disappointment and tomorrow is not yours to decide, whatever comes or goes Jesus in your life is the assurance you need for a secure future.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: Reinventing the virtue of character

-
The Importance of Character Development One thing that determines the quality of our lives is character. In fact, everything rises and falls with it. The Encarta Dictionary defines character as a “set of qualities that makes somebody or something distinctive, especially somebody’s quality of mind and feeling.” This means that character can be influenced by conditioning the state of the mind, leading to the fact that character is not a gift but a virtue that must be developed. It can either be your point of attraction or your repellent; it could be your distinctive plus or your minus in the world. Character sticks with you and becomes you—so much so that J. R. Miller once said, "It is the only thing that walks back from the tomb and refuses to be buried." The amazing truth about character is that we all have it, but what differs is its quality and development. The following steps will help you develop an incredible character that attracts everyone. Steps to Character Deve...

EVANGELIST REINHARD BONNKE (1940 — 2019) -LEGACY OF HARVEST Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is principally known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout the Continent of Africa. The son of a pastor, Reinhard gave his life to the Lord at age nine, and heard the call to the African mission field before he was even a teenager. After attending Bible College in Wales, and his ordination in Germany he pastored a church and then went on to start missionary work in Africa. It was there, in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho, that God placed upon his heart the vision of ‘the continent of Africa, being washed in the precious Blood of Jesus’ — an entire continent, from Cape Town to Cairo and from Dakar to Djibouti that needed to be reached and to hear the proclamation of the sign-following Gospel. Evangelist Bonnke began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in...

Only one life

-
Only one life while some write their names in gold and others allow their names to evaporate into the thin air, like though they never have existed.   The choice of where to write your name is not determined by God, because God only exposes you to all the choices and their corresponding results and leave you to decide. Only one life, some have their names written only on the tombstone, while others stamp their names permanently on the hearts of people. That man lives or die is not an issue, but how much of God’s purpose for creating you succeed is the crux of the matter. Your life may never have to touch the whole world, but there is somebody who could live because of you. Only one life some make history and rewrite history, others make only money. The duration of your life is not what matter that most, after all Methuselah lived 969 with no legacy to show for living but Enoch lived 365 and left the best legacy ever. Only one life man define life by how much he accu...
