STREAMS OF GREATNESS

THERE IS A MINDSET  You are not cheap and irrelevant, you are a bundle of relevance to your generation. The society may tell you otherwise, but you are not bound by the voices around you, voices from your background, voices from your past.  The voice of God is louder than the voice of your pains, it is louder than the voice of your shame, louder than that of your guilt, louder than the voice of your past.  Falling into a pit does not mean staying in the pit. Come out of the pit and shake off the dust tainting your perception about life.  Don't let this mindset tie you down, cage you, box you in, keep you under, swallow you and keep you down forever. The devil only thrives on your fears, but this the word says, let this mind be in you, that is there is a mind you need to embrace which will break away from the fallen perception, ideologies and conditioning, that you are tied to as a result of your experience and journey. I bring to you a ...

HE DID NOT REPAIR THE DAMAGED LIFE, HE GAVE ME A BRAND NEW LIFE I have been held by fear, so I know what freedom means. I have been rejected, so I know what acceptance means. I have been under the control of man, so I know of joy of being led by the spirit. I have tasted the hatred of the devil, so I know the magnitude of the love of the Father. I was used, so I know what value and honour means. I have experienced the merry clay life, so I know the mountain top life. I once lived the low life,  but now, I have the everlasting life. I am in you not because of money, marriage, fame, connection, food, clothing, shelter. My stay in you is not conditional! I was once held in bondage, but now I am free. All I know is that I have wallowed in the mud of sin, and to that low life I go back no more. No more I say, no more! Your love has birth hunger for you in me, oh the love of the Father, that pulls a man out of a dirty life only to hand ...

BRING OUT THE GOLD IN YOU When Gold is covered with clay, people will give it the recognition clay deserves, but when the clay is taken off and the gold becomes visible, the honour doubles.  Those who have walked past it, on their way back will change their approach. They can't remember what it used to be, but everyone will surely recognize what it is now.  Well, Gold might have felt bad, angry, depressed, left out, rubbished, empty, irrelevant, not appreciated, it had no place, nothing to offer, a biological accident, no reason to live, unwanted, unloved, not recognized. Hmmmm, the list is endless. Obviously, gold doesn't know it's value. It doesn't know how much the world is in need of its impact. It doesn't know it carries riches, neither does it know that it's contribution is capable of turning the world around for the best.  Gold doesn't know that the nations are to come to the brightness of its rising. It's glaring gold h...

DISCOVER WHAT YOU CARRY, YOU ARE NOT EMPTY No human being was born empty, we are all created loaded and have gifts and talents deposited in us.  Potentials are inherent abilities that has not yet been discovered. The fact that you have not discovered them, (perhaps they are more than one) does not mean they are not there.  The fact that a blind man doesn't see does not rule out the fact that he has eyes. As soon as internal correction takes place,  the eyes begin to function and fulfil it's purpose. We are diverse, creativity is hidden in us. Gold is not found on the surface,  you dig deep to bring  it out. You look deep inward to reach for the unique you.  Imagine what our world will look like when we are all a blessing to one another, being a blessing to everyone within our sphere of influence with our gifts and talents. No competition, no comparison, respect for everyone's personality and appreciation of everyone's un...

IF IT IS NOT FROM GOD, IT IS NOT FOR YOU Not understanding times and seasons is a great tragedy. I believe it's one of the causes of competition.  Man not knowing the how, where, when and why of his life is the reason most people get weak and sick. Hearing that a friend of yours just achieved a milestone is like a blow to you. You become restless, seeking and opening yourself to opportunities not meant for you because a change of status is on the top of your list now.  Not all opportunities are meant to be jumped at. You don't go for all things that come your way, not all things are for you. Not all places are designed for you. When you have this understanding, you can even reject a job worth 1 million per annum, not because it's iniquitous, but because it's not meant for you. Knowing where you ought to be per time is key to the fulfilment of God's plan for you.  When the only factor that determines your placement is where God wants you to be,...

THAT WHICH PUSHES YOU SHOULD COME FROM WITHIN The greatest encouragement that can spur a man on is the internal motivation, not external, for the external is not constant , availability is conditional and may not come when you need it most. So, after your spiritual eyes might have captured the unseen, what the world doesn’t know about you, you don’t need to wait for external encouragement because it may not come, for unsecured humans are always threatened by the manifestation of a man’s originality. The disciples went out to preach the gospel and they were captured in the process and detained, beaten, tortured and threatened. On their release, the first important thing that occurred to them was to praise God for the opportunity to suffer shame for the Name. Glaringly, we see that the motivation of these men were nothing external. Nothing around them encouraged them in the pursuit of their vision. But their spiritual eyes had captured something they were ready t...

IF WE ONLY BELIEVE WHAT WE SEE, WE ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI Seeing is believing, a statement that we spill out consciously or unconsciously and because we speak it often, it has become our reality. The root of this statement of uncertainty is doubt. It means we are not sure/certain until we see/behold. Meanwhile, it does not have root in the word of God. Jesus told Thomas, “Because you have seen me, you have believed, blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” John 20:29 If you want to see with your physical eyes before you believe, then your future is void of anything new the world is yet to see. For even the bible says that, “what no physical eye has seen, what no physical ear has heard and what no human/carnal mind has conceived- the things God has prepared for those who love him” 2Cor 2:9 But then, these are the things God has revealed to us by His Spirit, 2Cor 2:10. What your spiritual eyes cannot capture ,you can never...
