God does not force His will upon anyone. He allows us to make our choices so that we do not have to blame Him for our mishaps.
God cannot and will not violate the free will of man. The ability to make choices and decisions is at man’s disposal.
God often encourages people to do the right thing.
It is hard to know and interpret the exact thought that is in the mind of God. That’s why we need revelation.
God reveals His thoughts to His people. Revelation usually takes time to happen.
People seek God in times of trouble but do not have to wait long before they build a relationship with God.
It is wise to seek God.
God cannot fail.
Breaking up your dry land means working on your heart.
God qualifies people to do His will.
God communicated to people concerning the peculiarity of the time and season. So, what was not relevant two thousand years ago will be concealed. This same information is communicated today because it is relevant to our time. This also applies to culture and values.
God has many messengers. No one messenger can deliver all of God’s counsel.
If you get to a place and don’t feel welcome or belong, it is probably an indication that you should move on.
There is a reason for everything that happens. Nothing happens in the abstract.
Serving others is fundamental to life.
We are created to serve others in at least one way. There must be “a thing” to serve.
God served us before we could serve Him. He gave us Himself; He gave us love and life.
We call Him God because He did what only God could do.
You can talk to God anytime, anywhere, at any place about anything.
God is not limited by distance, space, and time.
You have a sense of fulfillment when you do things to be remembered for.
Great men are remembered for the important things that they did.
Ambition to do good is better than ambition to amass wealth.
Find and do anything (good) you can be remembered for after you are gone.
Do things that bring smiles to other faces. This is fulfillment; this is life.
You don’t need to affect or touch a lot of people in life. Your immediate people in your environment are your people. They are your ministry. Touch and affect them positively, and you are forever blessed for doing what God wants you to do in life.
And if God gives you the grace to reach many people, make effective use of it.
God is man and man is god. The difference is God is superior, but man is inferior. God is limitless, but man is limited.
If the odds are against you, look out for where at least one opportunity exist and make maximum use of it.
For God’s children, everything works for their good. The end is usually the best that could have happened given any circumstances.
The chain of God’s love is stronger than the chain of any habit
The proud person usually ends up in disgrace because they often brag about what their capacity cannot handle.
Yesterday is gone. Today is brand new, and tomorrow is in the incubator.
Fulfillment does not come by having lots of money. Satisfaction comes from achieving purpose and life.
Seek the Lord while it is the day, the night comes, and it may be too dark to see and seek the Lord.
“Good” can overcome evil to the extent that we allow or enable it.
The effective prayers of a righteous man can defeat the power of evil.
Your Heart can produce unimaginable results if you work on it. It depends, however, on what type of result you want it to produce.
The more compelling thought is that the heart can hold any thought within a second and can keep such thought (plan) for an exceptionally long time—becoming a purpose–with a desire to achieve this purpose.
Therefore, if your heart is evil, you are a potential danger to anyone.
We can give thanks to God not just when it is convenient, but when it does not make any sense to do so.
You do not follow your instinct to obey God or do the right thing. Just do it!
Your instinct does not know how to love God and does not want to do the things of God. So, waiting for the most favorable time to say “thank you” is the devil’s deception of saying – there is nothing to be thankful for.
Your knowledge of God guarantees victory.
It is the truth you know that can set you free.
You cannot do what you have no idea or knowledge of doing. And you cannot wait until the moment of trouble before you seek God.
Lust and desires drive you crazy and lure you away from God.
The urge to seek God and pray consumes you like a burden. It doesn’t leave you until you do the will of God. It’s a prompt from the Holy Spirit who wants to fulfill God’s purpose.
When you do God’s will, it leaves you with a sweet feeling of fulfillment, but when you go after your passion and lustful desires, it always leaves you empty and devoid.
The grace of God is constantly working in us to perfect God’s purpose in us for His glory.
God’s grace will work to bring us closer to where we belong– our rightful place.
The same energy both requires for satisfaction. Lust and desires drive you crazy and lure you away from God.
The urge to seek God and pray consumes you like a burden. It doesn’t leave you until you do the will of God. It’s a normal prompt from the Holy Spirit, who wants to fulfill God’s purpose.

In other to achieve success in life, you must have an ardent desire for excellence.
Regardless of age, whether before age forty or at forty or after forty, it’s pertinent that the pursuit of excellence is the yardstick for a successful life.
So, to be successful and happy in life, you must do what you love doing, continue to do what you love doing, and forever do what you love doing.
God has said that He will honor His Word more than His name. If He has said it, then you must hold Him for His Word. By default and records, He has never failed.
So, why run to man when you can run to God? If truly God has called you, and afterward you encounter challenges on the way, why consult a man? Why not talk to God about it?
You can challenge those difficulties by addressing them in the name of Him who called you.
Talk to God about your problems, not man. Why would you give the honor of solving your problem to man when God said He would not share His glory with anyone?
Think about this for a second, would you like God glorified or man glorified?
God is more than reliable. He has promised, and He will never fail even if it seems otherwise.
Do not be deceived by the circumstances surrounding your life right now, instead shout for joy because you have overcome the world.
His promises are yes and amen.
A mind made up is almost impossible to stop. The reason is that people cannot battle with your mind. Only you can!
0+0=0, you need to do something.
0+1=1, He is always faithful in His own words.
Philippians 2:11 do your own
Philippians 2:12 He does His own.
Fallen angels still possess certain skills and abilities retained after they fell. Managers who understand their skills but not useful anymore for intended purposes even though they’re able to keep their abilities.
Your deliverance is not based on your performance.
The world cannot be a perfect place.
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today”.
Don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.
The devil has successfully blocked people’s minds. I have an idea how. Even God couldn’t help if they won’t listen, so He gave them up to their lust.
The urge to satisfy the pleasure of the flesh is greater than the desire to please God. So?
You’re free. Don’t entangle yourself into slavery again. Slave into sin, self, and past.
See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.
Do what pleases your heart. People will always judge. But if you do what pleases your heart, you will be satisfied. People will talk regardless.
You need only to please God and satisfy your heart.
If you cannot figure out your life, you won’t be able to figure out the lives of other people.
You may be a good mentor but not a great mentor.
You need to deal with your issue before you can deal with others. You can only show the way when you know the path.
A blind person can’t lead the blind. You need “to know”, then you will be able to teach others.
Life experiences are all about the process. Some are ahead and in front. Therefore, it makes sense if those ahead teach those behind. But be careful who you submit yourself to.
Buying more stuff does not fill the emptiness.
You do not have to wait till you discover that what you are doing right now is a piece of trash in the future.
After the evil one is annihilated and destroyed forever, who else can stand against God’s people?
Victory is theirs because they have been redeemed, not just for now but forever.
If the odds are stacked against you, look out for where at least one opportunity exist and make maximum use of it.
Freedom
Freedom is good, but excess freedom causes madness behavior.
America Needs Godly Leaders
America needs to return to God.
America’s leaders need to seek God and teach its people to seek God.
God is good but people want to have their way in everything–this is madness.
Positive Mental Attitude
If I can conceive a thought all by myself, it is possible to act without any help.
Think
You cannot do everything, but you can do anything.
Distractions
If you pay attention to distractions, even though you finish the race, you will NOT win the race.
The Place
America is a Place; it is NOT (branded) the Place. You need The Place.
The Inspired Word; The Yardstick
The Christian life would have been difficult to live or practice in this world had we not had the written Word.
Jesus’ life was not sufficient to live by as an example.
We need the Word that gives us the rule and guide by which we are to live a daily Christian life. Thank God for the Word.
The Word itself (essentially) is Jesus.
Your Heart, not your Head
Follow your heart, not your head. Your head tends toward pleasure, but your heart tends toward purpose.
Loved Forever
The righteous are loved forever. The Righteous means someone who has been favorably loved by God–someone who is infinitely loved. This is awesome!
You do not need to do any good thing before God loves you. He loves you regardless of anything and everything you do–good or bad. This is what is called real and true Love.
Infinite Knowledge by Infinite Being
God’s Spirit is perfect. He knows everything.
He reveals secrets; deep secrets and deep things that the ordinary mind cannot fathom or imagine.
The mind of God vs. The Mind of Man
The way God does things is different–different in the sense that it is at odd or variance from the way man does things.
Therefore, the way of God is foolish to the mind of man. And the things of God are foolish to man’s understanding.
Money does not equate to happiness
The possession of money does not guarantee happiness. Money does not bring peace of mind.
To win, you must play by the rule
Winning is all about strategy. You need a winning strategy to implement towards achieving your goal.
All for the good
For God’s children, everything works for their good. The end is usually the best that could have happened given any circumstances.
Keep it up
Do not let your hands down. Stay up and keep up the good work.
Never give up!
The same energy you need to give up might be the same energy required to keep up.
Purpose
The longings of your heart (what you wish or desire) are your purpose for living.
A Thankful Heart
Therefore, we can give thanks not just when it is convenient but when it does not make any sense.
You do not follow your instinct to obey God or do the right thing. Just do it!
God’s grace at work
The grace of God is constantly working in us to perfect God’s purpose in us for His glory. God’s grace will work to bring us closer to where we belong – our rightful place.
Zechariah 13:9
“And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.”
Amplifying Bible
Gut for success
In order to achieve success in life, you must be consumed by the desire for excellence. Regardless of the age, whether b4 40 or @40 or after 40, it’s certain that the pursuit of excellence is the yardstick for a successful life. So, to be successful and happy in life, you must do what you love doing, continue to do what you love doing, and forever do what you love doing.
Run to God for help
So, why run to man when you can run to God? If truly God has called you and afterward you encounter challenges on the way, why consult a man? Why not talk to God about it?
And better still, you can challenge those difficulties by addressing them in the name of Him, who called you.
Simply talk to God about your problems, not man. Why would you give the honor of solving your problem to man when God said He would not share His glory with anyone?
Think about this for a second: Would you like God glorified or man glorified?
God is more than reliable. He has promised, and He will never fail even if it seems otherwise.
The unbeatable
A mind made up is almost impossible to stop. The reason is that people can’t battle with your mind, only you can.
Forms of godliness but no power
Fallen angels still possess certain skills and abilities retained after they fell. Like managers who understand their skills are not useful anymore for intended purposes even though they’re able to keep their abilities.
Your Guidance— Peace
Philippians 4:6
The world can not be a perfect place.
—- the story(parable)of the weeds. Matthew 13: 36-43
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Matthew 6:34 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.6.34.NLT
Don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.
Hardened and unwilling heart
How the devil has successfully blocked people’s minds. I think I have an idea how. Even God couldn’t help if they won’t listen, so He had them up to their lust. Roman’s 1:20-24
The battle within
The urge to satisfy the pleasure of the flesh is greater than the desire to please God. So?
Galatians 5:1. You’re free. Don’t entangle yourself into slavery again. Slave into sin, self, and past.
Stop being people pleaser
Do what pleases your heart. People will always judge. But if you do what pleases your heart, you will be satisfied. People will talk regardless.
You need only to please God and satisfy your heart.
Work on getting better
If you can not figure out your life, you probably won’t be able to figure out the lives of other people. You may be a good mentor but not a great mentor. You need to deal with your own issue to be able to deal with others. You can only show the way when you know the path. A blind person can’t lead the blind. You have “to know,” and then you will be able to teach others.
Life experiences are all about process. Some are ahead and in front. Therefore, it makes sense if those ahead teach those behind, but be careful who you submit yourself to learn under.
Demise of the enemy
After the evil one is annihilated and destroyed forever, who else can stand against God’s people?
Victory is theirs because they have been redeemed, not just for now but forevermore.
Uneven odds
If the odds are stacked against you, look out for where at least one opportunity exists and make maximum use of it.
Assured victory
For the Christian, victory over the devil and his agents is almost guaranteed according 1 John 4:4, for greater is He that is in you than the one who is in the world, 1 John 5:4, …and this is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith.
Jesus also said that the prince of this world is coming but has no claim on me. Same with the believer, the devil has no claim over a born again child of God.
The Christian, however, faces a more complicated situation. The war from inside.
The war or evil from inside is the situation any believer faces when he has to contend with attacks and malign behaviors from fellow Christians.
Lack of love:
Jesus repeatedly emphasized how important it is to love the brethren, to love one another.
Great damage is possible when there is a lack of love.
People only seek their own interest, and the Bible says in humility, consider others better than yourself.
We are told to condescend for the interest of others.
Lack of sacrifice:
Jesus said greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. In fact, it is possible to have more enemies in church than outside the walls of church. There is resentment. Christian brothers want to outdo one another.
Of course, when love is lacking, there can’t be sacrificial love and giving.
Judgmental:
with lack of love comes criticism, quick judgment, and eagerness to punish with or without adequate evidence.
Brethren are quick to judge one another. No space or time is given. In fact, it is within limit to say that brethren may look out for your downfall so as to criticize you, your stand, and your faith.
The Bible says that if a man is found sinful or err or overtaken in anything, those who are spiritual are to help the person in a spirit of gentleness….Galatians 6:1-2.
Jesus wasn’t quick to judge the woman at the well, nor did He judge the woman caught in adultery.
We have gone way far from what Jesus and even Paul would have us do on our Christian life of today.
We castigate and rebuke sharply our dear brothers and sisters as if we are not prone to the same mistakes they make.
No one is a saints until we meet Jesus!
He who thinks he stands should watch out lest he falls. 1 Corinthians 10:12
Final purging
At the end of life, we all would still need some real cleansing to enter God’s kingdom. No one, of his own, qualifies to enter heaven or be a saints until a thorough purging and washing is done. Yes, we must be changed to even enter God’s prepared place. 1 Corinthians 15:52-54
So, this should make every single believer quake from the fact that we are all work-in-progress in God’s hands.
Salvation guarantees our eternal life, but the final cleansing gives us access to enter. Remember the parable of Jesus about the invited guest and one without the appropriate wedding attire. Matthew 22:10-14.
Lack of trust:
it is easier to make friends and trust our unbelieving friends than to trust and get support from our believing believers. The Bible says, “Let love be without hypocrisy, Romans 12:9.
In fact, if you need help, it is safe to go to your fellow, unbeliever colleagues at work than to discuss with your dear brothers. Often, you are scared that if you tell them your secrets, they will expose you instead of helping you or praying with you and for you.
It is hard to see one who speaks and resonates the same ideas, but it is quite easy to find at your place of work or other secular settings.
The enemies inside are greater than the enemies outside.
We owe it to ourselves and to the public to live a moral life, but we must trust God to live a righteous life.
Moral life does not endear God. Righteous life does!
We can not live a righteous life of our own capability. Only through the work of grace by the saving power of Jesus are we able to live a righteous life.
A lost course
The devil is the prince of this world (John 14:30). So, to try to shine (become famous, popular, excessively materialistic) in his (devil) world is a lost priority and evidence of a punctured destiny.
This world is not our own, and it’s passing away with all that is in it.
The understanding of this should help us set out priorities right and stay focus amidst noises and turmoil that rages around us on daily basis.
