A FRIEND TO KEEP...... A FRIEND TO LET GO

 

SOMEONE ASKED

 [5:41 pm, 16/01/2022] ***: Honestly I don’t maybe I was wrong or maybe not about friendship...all the guys i have been friends with. Each time when I needed them, Even my struggles were I need a hand no1 appeared but I was always there for them.So I need you to help me out guys ..What really shows that this is a true friend or any1 tell me the definition of a friend maybe um not getting it?

My response was when choosing a friend first see what’s the foundation of your friendship. That’s the most important thing to know. If your friendship is based on talking about other people run away from it if it’s about b*ching around that’s a NO again

You must be around people who build you people who are productive people who want you to be a better person. Your must be in friendship with people who can bring the best out of you.ran away from the negative vibes. Run away from people who will drain you away from that kind of people.

One Wise-man once said show me your friends and I will tell you your future. From the circle around you there must be a thing you learn day-a-day.

You must have that calibre of people who will always be there for you to guide you, and protect your interest.

Opportunity knocks once

Sometimes I wonder, I even laugh lungs out when people will be telling you how rich they were, they once had money and then you look at them please forgive poverty himself.

My dear people let us utilize the time if you find a way to have money utilize it. Find ways to keep the money rotating, invest. Invest the monies wisely. Built a legacy which people will see and point out not a legacy which you just preach about with you month not backed up with evidence. Don’t talk let the work do the talking itself.
Even in a biblical contest we see in the book of LUKE we have two interesting stories there one of the prodigal son. I will not look into that the one I want is of the PARABLE OF THE TEN MINAS. A king went for a journey far away before leaving he called upon his servants, *Luke 19:13 calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, engage in business until I come*. We can see entrepreneurship didn’t start now even back in the ancient days it was there but only people who are open minded, people who don’t listen to what people say survive. *IT TAKES COURAGE TO BE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AND IGNORANCE TO DESTROY THE FUTURE.* If we go deep with the scripture when the king came back there was one servant who engaged into business as he was told to he made ten more pounds and in return he was given authority over ten cities and the one who had nothing or the one who did not engage into business his money was taken from him.
Same applies to us if you get a chance to make money use it wisely change your situation for good. Some just temporarily changing situations, lets develop a spirit of doing things permanently. Leave something that your grandchildren will point at even after your death.

*Your future is in your hands; you either give it life or let it die.*

BEFORE I DIE

One thing I want to accomplish in this so called life is to make change, being the reason one or two people are smiling. 

I want someone out there to be a reason for change let us join hands and create a better world we all want to see and our sons and daughters to live in. It begins with me it begins with you and it will be for the betterment of all of us.

So help us God. 

THE TURNING POINT

You can't say you are living whilst everything is flowing NO. Every one has his or her ups and downs you might be a business personnel and or a hustler many of us especially the youths we have turned to be hustlers not entrepreneurs... A topic to be discussed some other day.

Let me talk about the turn up point, it is that point when you're grounded, doomed everything is at zero business not moving and some even think of giving up to the journey of life.  

  

What is it that you face in this stage

At this stage that's when our relationship with God Will be doubled we Will be praying day and night why God ,why is this happening to me right. At this point now I won't lie to you that's the point you Will get tempted more than before. Friends Will run away from you, rejection from family members. And you will get all sorts of advices some Will be weird um telling you at this point that's where most of the people are losing what God had packed for them going to find quick ways to get money, instant money from Sangomas, sugar daddy mablesser as they call them and Sugar mommy the young boys will be now cartoon heroes BEN10. 

What you have to do

Being down doesn't mean you are done .....get up stand firm and push on. Even if no-one is believing in your hustle that's there own problem. Do what you are supposed to do in a Godly manner surely goodness and mercy shall follow.

Find a mentor that whom you believe in. church leaders and some family members that you know you have the same view. They might guide and be of rescue.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS. No one knows just believe in yourself that you can do it. There's a saying that we used to do at college with my friends "risk takers are history makers" and for sure all the risks we took history was made and we accomplished.

KEEP ON PRAYING one day Will be one day. God has a plan for you and he will not leave you alone like those friends and family members. Tell him what is it that you want.

The doors will be opened to those who are bold enough to knock.

Your Turn Your Time

When the 2019 race started i once wrote  a article which was stressing on having new year resolutions now 2019 its over , full of ups and downs yes thats life. Now let us look back grab that book or sticky note where you wrote your resolutions take time to applause your self for what you have accomplished . Having pride in things that you have done its one of the best fuel and in a way its more of a blessing that you will not even get from all those pastors and prophets.

  Take your time also to think of those who helped you in your 2019 journey find a small gift for them or just send a small  message (thank you for being there for me) pray for them and their family who knows  what 2020 holds thats being grateful.

As we wait for 2020 i have a  good  message for you from the book of  Samuel. When Samuel was sent to  Jesse's house to annoint a king which God has provided  upon his arrrival he saw Eliab and said to himself surely the lords anointed is before me but the Lord said do not look on his appearance or the hieght of his stature because i have rejected him. Jesse called all his sons whom he thought of they are the chosen ones  alas  Lord rejected them. But there was our poor David  who was keeping  sheep. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of brothers. My word to  you is people might know you by your father's name look down at you be it at work or in the society but listen  2020 its your year  the lord has  chosen you, you will be anointed in front of all those who bring you down, promotion at work is on the way,upliftment on your social life is on the way. All this can come to pass if we have clean hearts. 1Samuel 7-8 for the Lord sees not as man sees, man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

There is  a saying  we are made strong  by the  challenges that we face. Thats true in 2019 we all faced challenges and lessons  where learnt from those  challenges now 2020 its the year to show the world how strong you have become because of those challenges. When David wanted to  fight Goliath Saul tried to stop him saying that David was a youth and Goliath was a man of war not knowing cause of challenges David face day a day whilst keeping sheep and not forgetting he was anointed and now he was man enough to fight which he did and killed Goliath. 1Samuel 33-36

On the quest to kill Goliath  David because of the anointing he had what I can refer to as the spiritual eyes and spiritual mind on  the battle ground he didn't focus on the things which were not important  in that  there was Goliaths shield bearer he could have killed him first but he knew that the sheild bearer before Goliath wasn't his problem he didn't even shifted his focus to him. David remained focused with Goliath being his problem . Thats the same spirit we must have as we enter into 2020 let us not waste our time focusing on the things which do not add value into our life's let us have and pray for that divine understanding when we faced with problems surely  2020 will be a blessed year and by his grace and will all battles will be won, all chains will be broken and no spell in your name will work.. 1 Samuel 17:45-46.... May the grace of the  lord be with you in 2020.

Happy new year

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

Mental slavery affects how people see their own reality. And it has killed most of the people mainly in African.  I thought of sharing with you an article by Brigette Hyacinth 

Author: The Future of Leadership: Rise of Automation, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence, on 7 Ways to Emancipate Yourself from Mental Slavery. link

Although slavery is no longer tolerated, many of us are held captive by limitations placed on us by ourselves or others. My whole life I’ve been told: “You can’t.” 

 

"The biggest enemy you have to deal with is yourself. If there's no enemy within, then the enemy outside can do us no harm." ~ Les Brown. 

These limitations inevitably lead to many of us suffering from the "Baby Elephant syndrome.” The story is told how elephants are trained. When an elephant living in captivity and is still a baby, it is tied to a tree with a chain or rope nightly. The baby elephant tries with all its might to break the rope but it isn’t strong enough to do so.  It tries and fails many times until realizing its efforts are futile, it finally gives up and stops attempting for the rest of its life. 

Later, when the elephant is fully grown, it can be tied to a small tree with a thin rope and could easily free itself by breaking the rope or uprooting the tree but because its mind has been conditioned by its past experiences, it doesn’t even make the slightest attempt to break free. This powerful animal has confined its present abilities by the limitations of past experiences hence, the "Baby Elephant Syndrome." 

Human beings are similar to the elephant except for one thing, we can choose not to accept the false boundaries created by others or the past. 

 ' The mind is a powerful force. It can enslave us or empower us. It can plunge us into the depths of misery or take us to the heights of ecstasy. Learn to use it wisely." ~David Cuschieri 

 

Here are my 7 tips to break the chains that are holding you captive. 

 1. Believe in yourself. You have to believe in yourself ultimately. Always Think big and Dream big. Focus on your strengths and work on developing your shortfalls. Don’t compare yourself to others and don’t let circumstances dictate what you are capable of achieving. 

"Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.” ~ Cynthia Kersey 

 2. Work hard. Do what you can do. Don't waste time feeling sorry for yourself. Take responsibility for where you are. Stop feeling like you’re owed. In life, there are no handouts. If you want something, you owe it to yourself to go out and get it. Nothing worth having comes easy. 

 “Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail.” ~Marva Collins 

3. Be Positive. Turn negatives into positives and make it a growing experiencing. Don’t dwell on others opinions of you or take things personally.  Don’t blame and harbor toxic emotions. It will only hold you back. Let it add fuel to the fire. Envision the future and maintain your focus. 

 “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom. I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.” ~Nelson Mandela 

4. Never give up. Be confident. Ask for what you want. Purpose in your heart that you will keep fighting for your dreams. How many times will you try before you decide to give up? This is your dream and you have to protect it. I try every door until I have exhausted all options and yet I don’t give up. Once there is a will, there is always a way and I am determined to find it! 

"You've only got three choices in life: Give up, give in, or give it all you've got. ~Unknown. 

 

5. Be Patient - For everything, there is a time and season. The waiting period can be the most difficult but it's important to not let doubt and fear creep in.   

”No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. “You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant” ~Warren Buffett 

6. Have a strong support network. You can’t do it alone. There are days when it becomes too much for you. You may need a little help to get back up. 

“Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you.” ~Edmund Lee 

 7. Have faith that things will work out. Some things are out of your control. I trust that God will take me through those difficult moments and this gives me peace even when things don't go my way.  

 “Faith is like the radar that sees through the fog” ~Corrie Ten Boom 

Additionally, as my grandmother would always say, “Make books your friends!” It opens your mind to new possibilities and helps you learn from the experience of others. 

 The saddest state a person can reach is mental slavery. They have already given up. Everyday I counsel individuals and I wish I could make them believe in themselves, but I can’t. They will have to remove the shackles for themselves. This is your life! Don’t let anyone else write your story. Take back the pen and make a great ending! 

 "None can destroy iron but its own rust can. Likewise, none can destroy a person, but his own mindset can" ~Ratan Tata.
