STREAMS OF GREATNESS

YOUR SELF WORTH AND HOW TO BOOST IT When identity is not known, self worth is lost. Self worth is hinged on self identity, self understanding and self acceptance. Self identity helps to unveil your possibilities and your realities. What happens here is a mind-shift. When you don't know who you are, you will answer to anything people call you. You are subject to ridicule and all manner of dirts thrown in your direction. A man who has no identity is faceless, unrecognizable and can't be reckoned with. You must belong to a tribe, you must be called by a name. So, if I may ask, who are you? When you are asked who you are, how do you respond. Apart from the name your father gave you, who are you? Apart from the work you do, who are you? Who defines you? Your father/mother? Your job/career? Your past experiences? Your friends? The people around you? Nope! None of the above does. If you have accepted all that the above call you, you are yet to

Perequisites For God's Direction As believers, we are an extension of God's kingdom here on earth. We are here to establish His will. "Thy will be done on earth, even as it is in even." (Mathew 6:10) The bible says that the path of the righteous is as a shinning light, shining brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. The righteous journeys on straight paths, full of Light. The bible says that God is Light and in Him is no darkness. So, Light marks the righteous. Who are the righteous? The believers. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We exist to shine the Light of Christ everywhere we go. We exist to do the will of the Father, not our own plans. God made us for His pleasure. "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." (Revelations 4:11). If only believers will take in this truth and live in this reality, we

Becoming a Woman of Godly Character  Character is powerful! Your character defines you and speaks volumes about you, even in your absence. It is one of the most important things that we have, we must invest positively in it. Romans 5:3-5 – “More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces ENDURANCE, and endurance produces CHARACTER, and character produces HOPE, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the HOLY SPIRIT who has been given to us." Jesus already told us that we will face trials and temptations. Our sufferings will produce endurance. I want to ask you, what are you going through presently? what are the challenges posing threat to your faith? What are the situations provoking you to compromise? What do you want that you don't have that want to make you run to the world and run back to faith? I bring the word of the Lord to you, please ENDURE. It is just f

THE VALUE-ADDED LIFE (4) If the student reads for 4 hours, then the teacher should be prepared for 6 hours or more. The teacher should not just sit in one place, complacent about growth and self development. People will listen to you because of the value you have to offer and will move away the day you stop delivering value.  Thus, adding value to your world calls for diligence and taking responsibility for your growth.  You must be ready to vacate your comfort zone. Get ready to be stretched. Adding value to your world is not a lazy man's job. To keep ahead of others, you need to go extra mile, you need to add extra oil. After you have done all, you need to locate that one more thing needed to be done.  A step higher, that is just it, that one more step is what is keeping so many people in the same spot. They prefer to stop where every other person stops.  Reading is a hobby for great people. A saying goes thus: Readers are leaders.  Reading sp

THE VALUE-ADDED LIFE (3) Many times we try to add to others values that we are yet to master. Often times, this is born out of our ambition to affect lives positively. Ambition in itself is not bad. But we shouldn't get married to our ambitions irrespective of God's will for us. Yes, God doesn't call the qualified, but He qualifies the called. When the grace of God draws a man or a man founds grace, it makes you aware of your state of life, then offers you a higher dimension of life, ability to overcome those weakness you couldn't overcome in your human strength. What is grace? Grace is God's divine enabling and empowering on a man's life to do what otherwise he cannot do. Grace will not enable you to be a blessing to others in those areas you are struggling with. Grace will rather lift us up from our weaknesses to meet up with God's holy demands. A man who has not overcome anger cannot help another man overcome such weakness. Yo

This Song🤔 I have decided to follow Jesus  I have decided to follow Jesus  I have decided to follow Jesus  No turning back, No turning back. I believe many believers sing this above song solemnly, with their eyes closed and their hands raised, but yet do not understand what it means to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus. A disciple is foremost born again, a believer who has made the decision to take upon his neck the yoke of the Lord, a believer who has submitted himself to learn of Christ, His ways. A disciple is a believer who submits to the Father's chastening and see every situation God permits in his life as an instrument to make him conform to the image of His dear Son, Jesus Christ. "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." Roman's 8:29. A disciple is a believer who sees his goal as being conformed to God's image, in nature,

Be Sold Out To God🤗 The psalmist wrote: I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. Psalm 63:4. Meditate upon this bible verse👆 This ought to be our life as believers. The prove that we have indeed appropriated the finished work of Christ is that we live for Him.  If indeed we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus unto life, then we are also raised to life with Him and we live to express the life of Christ.  Because the same spirit that raised up Jesus from death dwells in our mortal bodies and that same spirit quickens us to express the life of Christ.  As godly women, we should not settle to be just  like any other Christian, we should rather seek to be distinct and different. We should not be comfortable being a nominal Christian.  God has blessed us with all that pertains unto life and godliness. We are blessed. We have His Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, He is not the third because He is th

ABSOLUTELY SURRENDERED Yieldedness + God's fullness Revelation of God's will + The Spirit's help God's demand of believers = Zero flesh ---------------------------------------------------------- Absolute means total, complete Surrender means laying down, submitting, yielding to an influence.  Absolute surrender is the ministration of the believers unto the Lord.  Separating totally to God's will and His purposes on earth, not after self, but God and His glory revealed to men, this is a password to the heart of the Father.  The password to the heart of the father cannot be hacked by the flesh. The Holy Spirit takes you on the ride.  Absolute surrender is God's demand of every believer. He commands it, He deserves it and accepts it.  The plants, the sun, the moon, all God's creation, bow before God in utmost surrender. Let's look at the lily. When God clothes the lily with its beauty, is it not yielded up, surren

THE VALUE-ADDED LIFE (2) As opined in the previous part, an anointing you despise cannot bless you. It will bless everyone around you, but you. Honour attracts anointing to flow in your direction and meet your needs.  Genuine honour flows from a heart full of God's love.  Honour and celebrate those who have paid the price to be a blessing you in all areas.  I want to dwell more on mental slavery in this post and genuine love brings us out of this prison.  Many people are locked up in the prison of their mind. Because of their mindset, they are limited and unproductive and unfulfilled. Envy and jealousy are fruits of the flesh that must vacate the heart of everyone who desires to add value to others. It takes love to minister to others and truly bless them. The heart of men responds to love. Your motive must be pure. Do you indeed want to serve or you only want the glamour of an impact maker? It takes love to receive of the Father to bless lives

THE VALUE-ADDED LIFE (1) One beautiful thing is, there is no age or level you are that you cannot start to add value to yourself. It's only a matter of a paradigm shift in your thinking.  What keeps people from adding value is the state of their mind. So, prior to living a better life than you have now is sanity of the mind.  Sanity of the mind because a man will perpetually remain in his current state of living until he embraces an ideology that is superior to his current state.  What I mean is any notable change that will be palpable by your generation begins from the mind. If you do not appreciate those who have sacrificed one thing or the other, their time, energy, money, pleasure, ambitions to follow a righteous course and to perpetually be a blessing to others despite all odds, you will never one day bless anyone.  I want you to know that they paid the price to add value to themselves, not just to make a name, not just for selfish gain, but to gen

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Mathew 19: 4-6. It is of great importance to note that God is intentional about marriage, it isn't a wishy-washy idea that we can manipulate our way into. It is not what you rush into, just to check how it is and then rush out when you are not seeing what you expect.  The two shall become one flesh. We need to understand deeply this statement. I believe taking in this will guide and prevent us from falling prey to the enemy's trap.  Can two walk together except they agree? Sharing the same birthday date, Bearing the same first name, Both of you having dimples or gap in the front teeth does not necess

ASHES INTO BEAUTY  Labels...  The Oil of Joy + A Garment of Praise None of you + More of God Submission + The Crown of Beauty  **************************** I stood at the end of the cliff, the whole of my small life played before my very eyes.  Everything I had believed and lived for, crumbled in a twinkle of an eye. I thought I had a life.  I called it a small life because it was in itself no life. Why go forward if the same cycle of experience will go on and on.  So, I decided to end it all. Why should I stay here when I have nothing to live for.  I spread my wings and I jumped, I released the life I had held unto all my meaningless life.  Where the confidence came from, I never knew. But I had come to the end of myself.  I couldn't help myself, so I rather let go. I didn't know where this was leading me, but I cared less. As I jumped, a hand held me, I looked up and I saw a man in dazzling light. I felt a peace I never felt
