BE ENCOURAGED Part 2

by Charles Dennis Blog

The God will do it syndrome is deceiving a lot of Christians,God will do his part all the time but you have a major role to play for your future. Christians are always waiting on God to do it for them while God is waiting on them to make a move.

Your past preparation has brought you into your present position and to take a new position is to enter into a new level of preparation.

One of the challenges with us is we always want to remain in the comfort zone. We must choose to move from the comfort to challenges because nothing great happens in the comfort zone. To remain in the comfort zone is to maintain. The future belongs to the courageous. Identify what might hinder your success,do a sincere assessment of your past. Position yourself to stop anything that will stop you.

Be determined and aggressive to move forward. You need to be obsessed about your future,only what you are determined to achieve do you make a mark in.

Be a fanatic,only fanatics make a mark in life. Fanatics are those who will give it all it takes to establish a dream. You cannot gently enter your future. The violent takes it by force. You need to lay hold on something and take it by force no matter the obstacles and challenges you might encounter. Esther said “If i perish i perish” Esther.4:16

What can you put your life on the line for that can creat your future? what are you obsessed with? dream beyond what seemed possible to you. Desire what you dream about,drive for your dream. The force of intense desire in you has a way of releasing powerful energy,creativity and a supernatural pull towards what you dream to achieve.

Your future cannot be wished into existence,forget about what happened in the past,the past is gone,focus on the future. Position yourself to be relevant in the scheme of things,become obsessed with your future.

If you can see your future,you can feature in your future. If you can only you see it,you won’t waste your time in regrets. Many destinies are tied to inactivity,many are living in the world of peradventure. It’s time to take a risk and venture into your future.

Make up your mind today,your story must be told in posterity. Your life must count. To take your future,you must leave the arena of complacency, mediocrity,past victories and success and break loose into the arena of action.

Get determined and aggressive,go and make it happen,take that step,make that move,take it by force.

You are too loaded to fail. God is on your side.

BE ENCOURAGED

by Charles Dennis Blog

No matter how hard a thing is to achieve and you do not have the foggiest idea on what to do,the solution still lies within you.

“If you see your future,you will feature in your future.”

One of the beautiful things you can do for yourself as a Christian is to always build in your mind the right pictures about what you want in life. Until you begin to see yourself living in abundance,perfect health,victory,and success,it will be difficult for you to experience it.
It pays when you see beyond your present horizone and envision yourself living out the very best of what God has prepared for you in this world.

Life is not an accident,nothing great happens by chance. Your performance in life is a function of your preparation. The future you are not prepared for,you are not qualified to enter.

Nobody is born qualified,everybody becomes qualified and what qualifies you is your positioning and preparation. The future is only for the prepared people.
Luck is only an opportunity meeting with a prepared person.

God has plans for you but the good plans of God for you will not just happen,you make it happen. Your power secret to enter your future is the right to choose and decide for yourself.

What to settle for in life is the power that no one can take from you. It is not circumstance,but your choices and decisions that determines who you are,what you have,what you do and where you go in life.

What future do you think you qualify for? what measure of life will you settle for?
Your decisions define what you want in life. However,your commitment to get what you want is what determines what you eventually get at the end.

How well have you prepared for your desired future? you need to settle down to prepare yourself to enter into God’s schedule of greatness for your life. No one ended up in anything big without preparation.

Yesterday might not be what you envisaged but it’s time to prepare for a greater tomorrow. The energy of preparation is loaded in the intensity of desire.
The force of real desire is the difference between the successful person and the average person.

The people who will succeed in life concentrate on what they desire and ignore any limitations and circumstances they may face.

To make a difference is to make your life count,your tomorrow is great but it will not just happen. You and God can make it happen if you prepare yourself.

GET RID OF FRUSTRATION

by Charles Dennis Blog

GET RID OF FRUSTRATION:
Frustration can be defined as discontent because of been unable to achieve one’s aim. To know that something is available or belongs to you and yet your hands cannot reach it can be very frustrating indeed to anyone.

You think you’ve tried all you can still nothing seem to work for you can bring in frustration.

You are deprived of what is due to you and you do not even seem to be in control of what happens to you anymore,at that time even without realizing it,hopelessness and despair set in which in turn gives rise to frustration.

It does appear as if one way or the other in the process of maturing in life in a bid to attain desired goals in career,education,health,family,life etc. blockages,delays,disappointments, will cause frustration to set in(most times unnoticed) frustration does have symptoms just like any disease.

Let’s look at a few of them in bid to tackle them head long.
SYMPTOMS OF FRUSTRATION:
(1) Loss of desire to live i.e. loss of enthusiasm-feeling unwanted and alone.
(2) loss of willingness to work.
(3) loss of drive or zeal to attempt anything new.
(4) loss of joy of salvation.
(5) feeling lonely even with people around you.
(6) been irritable,edgy and unfriendly.
(7) having destructive tendencies/never rejoicing at other peoples good.
(8) anger at anyone,everyone,anything and bitterness.
(9) jealousy,envy and even stealing.
(10) loss of appetite(both physical and spiritual food.

Does any of the above sound familiar? God is about to terminate the works of frustration in your life today.

EFFECTS OF FRUSTRATION:
(1) life takes a plunge downwards
(2) everything appears to be in a stand still.
(3) a tendency to resign to fate “what will be will be”
(4) joining the bandwagon to do wrong or evil.
(5) compromising on standards/principles,shifting moral grounds
(6) suicidal thoughts.

Thank God though,that as commonplace as frustration is to man,it is not supposed to be the lot of the children of God. Some do give in however not knowing how to handle the challenges that confronts them daily. There’s a hope in God,there’s a way out. There’s an answer to frustration. 1 COR.10:13. in this scripture God has provided a way of escape for you from the grip of frustration.

IT IS PRAYER:
Prayer simply mean communicating with your father in heaven(GOD) in other to bring his power to bear in your situation. You can end frustration by refusing to quit praying. God made you and only him can sustain you. What frustration does is to try to alienate you from your only source which is God himself. It is your continual dogged,persistent connection to God that will determine wether you will be a fulfilled or frustrated child of God. Consistent and effectual prayer life is the way to maintain a high-flying Christian life. No victory in life can be sustained outside prayer. JOHN.16:24.

WHAT PRAYER DOES(AMONG OTHER THINGS)
(1) it releases power to uphold you. Psalm.17:5
(2) it enforces God’s will on earth. MATH. 6:10
(3) it exposes you to direction,guidance and instruction. JOSH.1:5
(4) releases God’s presence into your life to suffocate the Devils presence.
(5) enlightens your spirit and ventilates your mind. Psalm.119:18
(6) releases greater strength to handle life’s challenges.

It is time to take your life and destiny into your own hands,look at the devil face to face and say with determination “enough is enough” I challenge you to dare to dream again,dare to hope again,it is no use pity-parties and warming yourself over the ashes of memories of yesterday. Today is a new day full of possibilities for you in God. Begin to generate power via prayer to move to the next level. A successful prayer life is not developed overnight,so keep at it until you change comes.

Remember,it is when you pray that power is released against the devil and not when you think about praying later. God loves you and cares about you more than you can imagine. Run to him and change the course of your life forever. It’s time to say bye to frustration.
God bless you.
