STREAMS OF GREATNESS

THERE IS NO ODOR AS BAD AS THAT WHICH ARISES FROM GOODNESS TAINTED BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI You have gone too far to go back now, you are well too grounded to compromise now. You are a light to many and your life is a blessing, many are following your footsteps and are better for it. Because you have owned up to God and sacrificed your life on the altar, turning away from the world's definition of greatness and embracing the pathways that lead to true greatness. You have led many to the well of life which has quenched their thirst and brought back hope to them. Many cannot write their success story without including the impact God had made you have in their lives. You are an inspiration to them and you crossing their path is one of the greatest experience they can’t forget in time. Don’t forget that there are weak ones (and even the strong) who are looking up to you. Giving up now will dash the hope of many, destroy the faith of many and bring many back to their s...

WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR ATTENTION, YOU CHANGE YOUR DIRECTION BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI Now, Peter would have been the find after Jesus to walk on the water. Well, he did stepped out at the voice of Jesus, “Come”. The NIV version records that when he saw the wind, he was afraid and beginning to sink cried out, which means he paid no attention to the wind initially. He acted out on Jesus’ command, he kept his focus and gaze on Jesus. But shifting his focus put an end to the process and he went right down but for Jesus. Many started out on God's word, full of faith and expectations, eyes fixed on Jesus, but as at today sinking. Oh! That is not far fetched. When you change your attention, you change your direction., and changing your direction is automatically changing your instructor. You started in the power of God’s might and maybe the wind is becoming boisterous, challenges that seem beyond you are arising, you are becoming weak in faith, and settling down for the les...

TURN THAT JUNGLE INTO A JOY-FILLED HOME BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI How great what God has put in us and in our hands! God is patiently waiting and yearning for us to connect and submit to our greatest teacher on earth, The Holy Spirit, for He has a mandate to guide us into all truth. As long as we do not meet him, we are doomed. We will only see and never taste! How I wish you will see greater in that little or small substance in your hands. That little dirty room can be turned to a large, sparkling clean room. I had a revelation to that effect, I woke up joyful seeing the bigness of what came out of what I termed little initially. I saw how connecting with the right  kind of people can lit a small, deserted room which you call your life. Who are the people surrounding your life? Who are you connected to? Are they builders or destroyers? Are they Spirit-filled or ruled and controlled by the happenings around? Do they love you or you are the one making up to get thei...

DISCOVERING YOUR UNIQUENESS: AN ANTIDOTE TO ENVYING OTHERS BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI Until we discover the uniqueness in us, we will never stop envying those who have discovered theirs and are passionately giving their best to develop it. I tell you, there is a treasure in each human being, meant to be discovered, developed and expressed. Discovering it will give your life a unique beauty, others see you as different. Joseph’s brothers saw a uniqueness in him that got them intimidated, how I wish they understood better. How I wish they looked inward and laid hold on the treasure they carried, instead, envy consumed them. Maybe there are people around you that you don’t seem to like because they are just different, and you can’t just accept that fact. I tell you, the antidote is discovering your uniqueness and fanning it to flame.  Jephthah was oblivious of what he carried, he had the mentality of being the least in his father's house. Little did he know that ...

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE (PART III) BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI What a cheap loss! I would have concluded by saying when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. Bro Samson knew his, but lacked capacity to walk in its fullness. We can’t fulfill purpose outside of God who gave the purpose. How that Bro Samson lost his strength to his enemies cheaply. I felt like being in the scene and talking sense into him just before he revealed the secret of his power. But then, I remembered all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. The account of Bro. Samson was included for us, please learn from it. Bro. Samson might not have been able to show us the right part to follow, but he was able to show us the part we shouldn’t thread. If you don’t learn from history, you will repeat histor...

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE (PART ll) BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI Kudos to bro Samson's father, the angel appeared to the mother and she filled in him on the information received. The father did something worth emulating, he prayed to God to send back the angel. He wanted the revelation firsthand, he wanted the angel to come again and teach them how to bring up the child. God answered his prayer, When the angel came back, the father asked him a well prepared question, “When your words are fulfilled, what is to be the rule that governs the boy's life and work? The father was keen on ensuring his unborn child fulfill the purpose of God for his life. What a great father! Samson grew up and was fed with this great revelation about his destiny on earth, and that was all. Reading through his account, Samson had no personal encounter with God, which I want to say is the foundation of his problem. He just knew that whenever the spirit of God comes on him, there was this...

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI Should we say Bro Samson's parents did not communicate his prophetic destiny to him properly? But if we read through his accounts, we get to know that he had a glimpse of what he was born for. Its very unfortunate that he died with his enemies at the last. There is nothing bad in parents seeking the face of God to know the prophetic destiny of their unborn child. In fact that’s the best and that is rare, not all parents can pay that price But to you child, son or daughter, you now have access to the Father through Jesus by the help of the spirit. Seek fellowship with your maker, know your prophetic destiny first hand. What if the interpretation of the revelation received was subjected to rationality? Please take responsibility for your life. And to those who still rely on their mother’s prayer, they don’t have a personal prayer altar. Your mother is always on her knees for your, so you think you ar...
