Life is precious, the reality is that no one will tell you when you are born into this world, that it would be smooth and easy. Circumstances, culture, your neighbourhood where you lived, your home, your parents may have helped to shape your norms and values. This sometimes affect the way we interact with our environment and people around us. In some circumstances we find that we can become bitter, negative and cultivate a habit of blame, but there is someone who will transform your life and bring hope to you. His name is Jesus Christ - the Anointed One.
Every human being born into this world is special, unique and has a purpose. Consider the school teacher in a small town who decided to stay alive so she could train, teach and educate the next generation of men and women. Consider an Albert Einstein who if he had committed suicide, the world would not have known a science genius as him and also benefited from his knowledge and the changes brought about in science by his dedication and hardwork.
Be encouraged, not only to live for yourself but also to think of the lives you will be able to impact and change.
Suicide can often be as a result of not forgiving yourself for an error, a mistake, "or getting over a depressive" period in life. Sometimes it seems and feels unbearable and you want to get away from it all, but this is where we operate from our own knowledge and not the knowledge of the greater one, Christ Jesus. He overcame every form of adversity, he healed the sick, the broken hearted, and the downtrodden.
"He is a lifter of your head".
No scandal, embarassment to family, or "my friends will laugh at me" and "I will not be held in high-esteem by my rich friends or if this news gets known", this is not enough for you to go and kill yourself.
Have you stopped to think that others may have experienced similar feelings or doubts about life but may never reveal this to you because they have found a good way to overcome the storms of life. Don't follow the status quo and the norms of a society. Be content with such things as you have, be encouraged, decide to be happy. Make a conscious effort to be joyful no matter the challenges life throws at you.
Everyone who is born of God overcomes the world and you have been given the ability and divine enablement to overcome. You were created in the image and likeness of God, to function like him, "what great joy!". Let Christ be your life.
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Phillipian 4 : 13.
You are more than a conquerer in Christ Jesus. Why don' t you accept what he came to do for you today? A life filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (1 Peter 1 : 8) Use your faith today as the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious that gold will cause you to triumph always.
You are Blessed.

God wants You to Prosper
Ephesians 2 :10 - "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them"
God made us alive even when we were dead in trespasses and hath raised us up together with Christ, by Grace we have been saved.
As an artist prepares and gets the best canvass for his work of Art, the best quality of paint, the best lighting area, a peaceful environment and his work of art being his focus. He may have that picture he wishes to paint in his mind and heart, so he now embarks on this journey of creating his masterpiece.
A Designer or Architect has this new creation or idea in his mind to create a spectacular building and wants to put visual effects to it. So with spectular finesse, he brings out the drawing, the dimensions, the width, the length, he now wants to display the capability of this design by building the structure and putting it on display to the world.
So it is with man (God's Work of Art) created for success not failure.
God designed man with a purpose, a life of success, man was never designed to be a failure. As the scripture above reminds us, "you are His Workmanship". Do you know what this means? You were never created for failure. First of all you were created in His image and likeness, to function and act like him. This is where we start from and discover who God has made us to be.
Live a life of purpose with prosperity.
Be Blessed.

Law of Love
God has given us the ability to love. He is a God of Love, he thought about us. God prepared a beautiful garden and placed man in this wonderful environment. Every provision was made for Adam before he was formed and created, there was no lack because God had placed Adam on earth to have dominion and to enjoy what was produced for him.
This is the life God has called us to live, to dominate circumstances and to live a life full of purpose and success.
Scriptures said he knew us before we were born, he knows our frame, our going out and our coming in. He is all knowing. He created us in His image and likeness to function like him. When the fall of man happened in the Garden of Eden, and he found Adam and Eve hiding and covering themselves with Fig leaves, he knew what they had done, succumbed to the temptations of the fallen angel, the devil and sorrows were multiplied to them, because now Eve would labour in childbirth and Adam would work very hard to till the ground which now would have thorns and thistle.
But there is a great revelation in scriptures which showed the love the Father had for his creations. In Genesis 3 : 21; Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them. God clothed them, how many of us would clothed our families when they have done something wrong, how many of us would forgive and just continue loving them, and continue to make provisions for them. Do we really understand what God has done by sending His Son Jesus? John 3 :16 lets us know that "For God so loved the world (of sinners) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life".
God made provision for the redemption of the human race as revealed in this scripture, Genesis 3: 15, And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between "your seed and her seed, He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel" by sending a Saviour Christ Jesus. Jesus born of a woman was to be the one to reconcile fallen man back to the place God had ordained for them, to be Kings and Priests in the earth.
What manner of love the father has bestowed on us that we should be called the Sons of God (men and women together is referred to here).
John 15: 13, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends"
Decide to love today, the seed of love have been planted in you, you have the ability to impact your world and change lives by showing forth the Love of God. The Word of God reminds us that seeds planted on fertile ground will produce and reproduce. Accept the Love that is in Christ Jesus and begin to impact your world.
Stay Blessed

Where has 'service with a smile' gone?
It surprises me all the time when i visit different business places, shops or have a telephone conversation with a sales or customer service representative. There is always an underlying tone of annoyance when you try to get their help.
At some time past customer service was always with a smile and a pleasant greeting (was encouraging to ask your questions without fear), now few places seem to practice this. The customer is now a bother to them or it is an automated service reply by a telephone which answers only set or specific questions.
Proverbs 11 :25 - The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.
Whilst this proverb may be referring to an individual being generous, it starts with you the owner to display this quality first amongst your employees, be generous with a smile, create a good atmosphere for your business and watch your sales skyrocket. Be consistent in your generosity, cultivate and sow smiles. In so doing you will welcome 10 more customers to your portfolio.
Think of a "tired mother" who experienced a busy week at work, goes out on a weekend to do shopping for the household, your smile may very well be the hope and encouragement that gets her going strong for the rest of the day. She will most certainly return to your shop and become a regular customer.

Be Success Motivated
Success is a continuous journey. Success can be taken in small steps towards greater successes. To be continuous means maintaining progress in an unaltered condition or state. This greatly depends on your mindset, or your attitude to recognising success. What do you think about yourself? as a failure or a success. Set yourself targets and goals, keep checking its progress as it is bound to happen when you remain focused.
Many times we want to compare ourselves with others but this is wrong, you are individual, unique and special, and different from anyone else. In the natural no two finger prints or dna etc are alike, that tells us that we are all different and taking different paths and journeys in the course of our lives.
Don't let others define your success?
Define your success by your own desired goals which are specific to your life. Challenges or distractions will surely come across your path, but your mindset will determine where you will go, to be undisturbed, and unperturbed by any form of interference.
This comes to mind, "As a lion roars on its prey, he is focused and will not be deterred or distracted but will go for it". So it should be with your desired goals, be unperturbed by any adverse situation, circumstances or condition.
Keep Going - Be motivated
Have the desire to do and have excellent outcomes in any task, relationship, or situations. Always seek a favourable outcome. Proverbs 22: 29 - Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.
Let the Word of God motivate you, it has the ability to cause you to do excellent things. The Word of God gives your life purpose and direction and helps you to realise your plans and goals.

Communicate with others in an attitude of Love
What is communication? The dictionary gives different definition which includes; interaction with others, liaising, having a conversation with others, sharing ideas etc. There are two types of communication; Oral and Written.
To communicate effectively your words must come from your inner most being. If you are preparing a speech on a particular topic which you like, you will prepare very well as you have your heart attuned to this subject. It is your favourite, so you will speak passionately about it to persuade or clarify your point of view. Your aim should be to bring a fruitful result from your dialogue and or written letter. Communication should be energising and effective.
As a Christian representing a Great Kingdom you should deliver effective communication all the time, your hearer will be edified and you will be remembered for doing such a good thing. In Hebrews 13 :16, But do not forget to do good, and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Death and Life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat the fruits thereof. Proverbs 18 : 21. It means therefore that whatever you speak about will "become", because you have been given authority in Christ Jesus to cause changes with the words that you speak.
As Jesus said, "the Spirit gives life and the flesh profit nothing, the words that i speak to you they are spirit and they are life". John 6: 63
Jesus is telling us that we can have what He say we have, so if you are someone who calls your children, or anyone stupid, foolish or worthless this is exactly what the person will be as you have not spoken in love but has cursed them. God has said you are blessed to be a blessing.
And who should you be a blessing to?
As you go about your daily life make a conscious decision to be the best communicator everywhere you go and in everything you do.
