When God created Adam and Eve, He specifically instructed them to work and make progress and subdue the land. That means, the whole essence of Man is to affect and impact his environment positively.
You don’t need a big name or a big post to do this. You only need a big heart to do what can affect people around you.
Start from where you are–which could be your corridor and from there you make the world a beautiful place while fulfilling your purpose of creation.
This is what you were made for.
This series is in conjunction with a youth program in ICB RCCG, Brooklyn, New York, titled “made for this–Salt and Light. August 3-5, 2018.
Jesus said. “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.”
Salt is only useful when it retains it flavor. The moment the salt loses it flavor, it becomes useless.
Your life is still useful as long as you are impacting and contributing to other people’s life and humanity. The moment you are not doing this, you become useless and irrelevant.
So, like the salt, make your life counts while it last. You will only be remembered for what you have done, whether good or bad. So, choose to do good and make other people happy. You can only be truly happy when you bring smiles to other people’s face.
It is interesting to know that the challenges of life has a way of bringing us to our deserved, fertile and resting (relaxing and comfortable) place.
We need the Grace of God to live a good life. No one is perfect. We are all fallible. It is God’s precious grace that separate a man from his peers.
Praying for grace is asking God to give us a gift we do not deserve.
It’s like praying for a condemned criminal to be saved.
God is gracious and merciful. He will, out of His mercy, do what we ask for.
I declare that “I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done.” Why? because the Lord is interested in my well-being.
Amen!
It is a good thing to be independent but becoming independent may lead to indifference and nonchalant attitude. It is important that the freedom we have does not cause grief in others and pride in us.
The bible warns that, “But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.”
Use the freedom you have to benefit others while lifting people up and still living a meaningful life.
Success story does not happen easily. In fact, every success achieved usually requires a concerted effort.
To achieve your big dream in life, you might as well be prepared to take some risk and take some big steps.
The first step is very important. So, take a big step towards achieving and fulfilling your dream.
Remember, even God took one giant step when he commenced the creation of the world. And Jesus took the biggest risk when he offered to die on the cross.
Take your big step today and start something with your life. You can live a better life.
It is wisdom to overlook an offense.
It only causes more problem when you try to justify the need for an apology. If an apology is not forthcoming, move on. If you stay, more trouble is likely.
There is no stigma from an offense. Emotional grief may linger for a while, but it is wisdom to get over it. Live your life today better than yesterday.
From Adelive, we wish all men A happy father’s day.
Thank you for being not just a man but a worthy man.

Prayer is a bargain— presenting a strong reason why your request has to be honored.
Prayers avert every evil plans and intentions of the enemies.
Every time you prayed, you bargain for your life using the name of Jesus. You bargain for souls using the name of Jesus.
The evil ones will not hesitate to do any harm but the moment you pray, even if the harm is about to happen, your bargain in prayer, using the name of Jesus, gives you victory.
There must be a strong reason why a thing happened at all. When you pray, you present a stronger reason why it must happen or not happen.
Actually, you can refuse the wicked ones’ bargain if you have a stronger reason or case to present. You can do so when you pray in the name of Jesus!
