One Day at A Time

Hello dears,

Reaching for greatness is a daily walk.it just doesn't fall on us. We need to walk and work it out. As much as we do that, we are fulfilling the already laid down plans God himself has set for us. If we trust him enough to help us everyday we will enjoy the joys and pleasures he has prepared for us.

I hope this little poem will encourage you as you walk the path God has set for you.

A daily routine

Sun rises and sets

A planned programme

To everyman, he sets

Each day we run towards our goals

Forgetting he has it all planned

We gradually play our roles

Hoping we will achieve our plans

Some we do, some we don’t

Sometimes happy sometimes sad

But through it all,worry we don’t

Knowing each day was set by our heavenly dad

Seeing the joy of a new day

Brings joy for yet another run

The pleasures that comes at the end of the day

Makes us never doubt the race we run

And because he is in it

Our hearts rejoice with ease

Our plans before him

Are sure to find release

Thank you daddy for every moment

It reflects you without doubt

Thank you for daily comments

Written about us as we daily count

My friends, take each day with so much faith that the God that made you see the day has blessing ready for you to enjoy. Be joyful and thankful as you go along the day and at the end, whether it turned out the way you wanted it or not give more thanks to Him knowing that its in His plan for you and all things will work in your favour.

Enjoy your week and holiday!

ciao.

Compare Your Life With No One

Hello dearies, 

Have you ever had a moment in your life when you feel where you are is not where you should be? Have you ever looked at your peers, maybe high school mates or colleagues from the university and you feel your life seems far behind? Maybe you can't seem to measure up with them in what they have achieved?    

Hmmm! I would like to be sincere. I do. I do worry that it seems I have wasted some years being nonchalant with my decisions and now am facing the consequences. However, I learnt something new yesterday that changed my perspective to life.      

I realised that from God's word I am not meant to compare myself with anyone. Everyone in life has different course set for them by God and the pace with which it should be run. I got to realize that my destiny in life is in His hands and all I need do is trust and follow him as he leads me through the path no matter the mistakes I have made in the past. I also learned that a man's life is not measured by what he possesses but by his rich relationship with the God he serves.  

That made me so grateful to God for where I am right now and the plans he has already set for me. With this joy in my heart, he taught me that the only thing I must compare my life with is His laws and commands. My life must reflect his laws; my conduct and conversation must reflect his commands; I must love my neighbours whether or not they love me,my words must be seasoned with salt, so I answer appropriately to anyone I speak with;I should give to those in need,honour my parents and honour God with the best of my life and resources he has given me. If I can do this, then daily my life will reveal his will and glory. I won't have to compare my life with anyone.  

So I encourage you my friends today, look back at your life and give God thanks. You are alive and have the reason to give thanks and be hopeful. Even if you feel you have wasted time, if you can trust him and obey his commands he will make things happen to you speedily.  

Stop comparing yourself with anyone. You are unique and there is no one on earth like you. Your destiny in life is meant for you and not for anyone. Pursue God and be careful only to measure your life with his commands and nothing or no one else. Stay strong my friends. 

Ciao

How relevant are you?

Hello dears,
Have you really observed that everything around you is fulfilling its purpose no matter how small it is? For example, the sun rises to give light, heat,let you know the day has begun,dries up things and preserves. It has multiple purposes and fulfills them everyday.The wind blows,refreshes and helps in flying.The tree gives us shade, its back produces wax and other medicinal products and also produces fruits.

What about a car? it provides mobility with comfort at a short time.
Go ahead, think about everything around you and observe its relevance. The smallest things around us are so relevant and functions daily even though we barely observe them whether inanimate or animate: a wrist watch, a pen, a backpack, a book, paper, everything. However irrelevant they seem, they are fulfilling a purpose or functioning in what they are meant to do.

The question here is, what about you? 

Have you given it a thought if you are really functioning where you are and relevant? Are you where you should be?

Take a time out now and just think for few minutes. Can say you are meeting a need or fulfilling a purpose?
If you are, that is great, if not start now. If you are, the next step will be how well are you fulfilling your purpose? Excellently or shabbily,active or passive?

Besides,what else can come out of what you are doing now? The creator of this earth created things in layers, the more you look into what you have now, the more you can get out of it and the greater it can become. It can be remodeled,repackaged,renewed,reused or recycled.

Come to think of this,of all his creations we are his most treasured, that means there are so many potentials packaged inside of you that you need to bring out and use to fulfill purpose greatly. Thus,put on your thinking cap, create and recreate.While you are at it, make sure whatever you produce care for people,meets a need, heal lives,invest in people,solve problems and add value to lives.

If its a poem that you write, write well, spread it out,get a book out of it,write on a blog, let people be inspired and changed for good.

I pray this week will be for you a renewal of mindsets that will establish and make your purpose fulfilled.

Do have a beautiful week.

Ciao
