WORDS TO LIVE BY

Philippians 3:8, 10 (Amplified Bible)
Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege – the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with him, of perceiving and recognizing and understanding him more fully and clearly. For his sake I lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ, the Anointed One.

(For my determined purpose is) that I may know Him – that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding (the wonders of His person) more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection (which it exerts over believers); and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed (in spirit into his likeness even) to his death…”

THOUGHTS TO CHEW ON

God needs manpower
And man needs God’s power
But God works
Only when man works –
The work of praying
For, when man works,
Man works
But when man prays,
God works!

HOW DO YOU DEFINE A FRIEND? (2)

Okay, in the first post in this series (read here), I established that friendship should not be by force, since a true friend is only one who adds value to you. Let’s continue from there.

The second thing I will like to say about true friends here is that AN UNBELIEVER CANNOT (and Should Never) BE A FRIEND/CONFIDANT/ADVISER OF A TRUE CHILD OF GOD. I predicate this on the truth of 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty.”

Can you stand to be blessed? “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;” If you mean to fulfill your destiny, you will not allow an infidel to be your friend. YOU WILL SUCCEED!

IRRESISTIBLE INFLUENCE!

What did Jesus mean when He called us salt and light in Matthew 5:13-16? That is what I believe to be the Leadership concept of Irresistible Influence which is what I will be sharing and exploring come Sunday evening, April 1st by 4.00pm in the City of Abuja, Nigeria. It promises to be an exciting edition of our Purpose ‘n’ Life Seminar. I am looking forward to it. Will you be there? For more info: see here

GOD’S HALL OF FAME

Your name may not appear down here
In this world’s hall of fame
In fact you may be so unknown
That no one knows your name

This crowd on earth may soon forget
The heroes of the past
They cheer like mad until you fall,
And that’s how long you last.

But God, He never does forget,
And in His hall of fame,
By just believing in His Son
Inscribed you’ll find your name.

For any famous name on earth
Or glory that they share,
I’d rather be an unknown here
And have my name up there. – Author unknown

Think about this!
