Everyday Jesus

Give…
…Sometimes we get a little jiggy on our seats in church when the pastor quotes the all too familiar verse…give and it shall be given unto you,in a good measure, pressed down,shaken together and running over shall MEN give unto your bossom….and we start to scale up our pockets and bank accounts….
Take another look,..”Give”…
Every body happens to be a giver, just so you know but have you ever considered what you do give? Well God has told us that whatever we give shall be measured back in suprisingly cascading quantities. So do you give sorrow or encouragement, do you give peace or discord, do you give silence or justice, do you give trouble or resistance, do you give Jesus?…Hope your room is large enough to contain whats gonna be measured!

#CHOSEN 07: DEALING WITH FAMILY LIMITATION

Leave a comment

I said this in the last episode and I will say it again; one of the most difficult things that a man that has a mandate from God deals with is family. I am not saying that it always happens, but most often than not, it does. What I want to share today are result oriented steps you can take. Above all, trust the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you.

  1. ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS:
    Rebellion is never an option when your family is trying to stop you from following your God-given dream. You don’t want to worsen the situation. You have to try and reason with them and understand their point of view. Know where they are coming from and where they are headed. The truth is they play very vital role in making your dreams come to reality. In the course of dialoguing with them, you will know how to convince them to allow you follow your dream. Remember, do not do it with your own strength, carry God along.

  2. START SOMETHING: Most people have families that are difficult to convince, but that is not meant to stop you or put you at a standstill. You need to start taking constructive and result oriented steps towards achieving your dream. Your family may need to start seeing your input towards your dream for them to know how convinced and serious you are about it. That might be the thing that will convince them to let you pursue your dream.

  3. BREAK OUT:
    If after you have dialogued and shown some seriousness in the way of actions, and the limitation is still there, then the only option is to break the limitation. You cannot afford to live a life that is unfulfilled. In the end, you don’t have anyone to blame if your dream becomes unfulfilled. If you notice, the steps are in chronological order, this should be a last resort. By this time, you must have gotten enough to fine tune the path to the fulfilment of your dream.

Let me end by saying that the only guarantee you have for the fulfilment of your dream is God. He is the one who chose you and gave you those dreams. I am so excited about you because you have been chosen of God to accomplish something great in your lifetime. My prayer is that God will help you to bring that God-given dream to reality.

Please share with others and let it bless them as it blessed you

Stay blessed.
