Christian youths seem to be the most hit by the spiritual and economic turn of things in the generation. Being faced with the choice of either choosing to follow the righteous part which often is full of pain, or damn all that righteousness and just make money. Join Dick Daniel he teaches youths how to win in LIFE, BUSINESS and RELATIONSHIP by having a new MINDSET, which is targeted at pleasing the Lord and creating their desired future.
You are only as significant in people's lives as they allow you to be, nothing more, nothing less.If you find yourself often hurt, it may be because you consider yourself more important than they see you. Your relevance in a person's life is determined by how they value you and not how much value you think you are. I call this Place Value.People will always treat you based on the value they place on you.
Yesterday I made a post “Don't Panic. If you're trying & putting in the effort, then you're doing just fine.”
So a dear friend of mine asked me, how can you continue even without seeing results?
This bothered me, and I did a lot of explaining to him, and by God's Grace he understood and I believe had a mind shift, even if it was for a moment.
Often, we view things from the wrong lenses... The Lense of Result over Experience or Process ❌
This is wrong because it causes us to focus too much on the result, which produces impatience if it delays and we lose the blessedness of the Process which produces the Result.
What we fail to understand is that, if the process is RIGHT, results will FOLLOW. It doesn't matter how long it will take, Results will surely Follow... The Bible speaking says
"These are the signs or Results that will FOLLOW"... Results They all follow if the process is right.
Results take time... And to everything on earth, there is a gestation period also called "The Time of Life"
In the fullness of time, Results will come, but if we abort before the fullness of the gestation period, we end in misery and regret.
Remember Result is always an end product.
It's OK to start without knowing exactly where you are going, but it's imperative you know what you're looking for.
The Bible tells us that God called Abraham from his father's house, promising to take him to a city flowing with milk and honey and also make him a great nation. Genesis 12:1-9, Hebrew 11:8
Abraham promptly left his father's house not knowing where he was going but knowing for sure what he was looking for.
The Bible later recorded that Abraham never built houses but lived in a tent, because even when God took him to Canaan, (which is of course the physical location God has promised), he knew that, that wasn't what he was looking for, rather he was looking for a city not made by hands, a city whose designer and builder is the God of the Ages, a home in the heavens. Hebrew 11:9-10
And according to the Bible, he found that city...
So Jesus talked about that city, and he called it "Abraham's Bossom", he gained access to it through a system he (Abraham) discovered called Righteousness by Faith. Luke 16:22
Today, we are beneficiaries of Abrahams's blessing because a man knew exactly what he was looking for.
So while you may not know where you are going, it is important you know exactly what you are looking for, and believe God to take you there.
So if you're looking for a job, admission, financial breakthrough, stability or freedom, a wife, a husband, etc, know exactly what you are looking for, and GET GOING, solely depending on God to lead you to where you are going to and what you're looking for.
I hope this helps someone out there.
If the Purpose of a thing is not known, Abuse is inevitable - Myles Munroe. Every human on earth has a purpose for which they were created. No one is an accident. If you can't identify your purpose, you will not maximize the potentials that you carry. Identifying Purpose is one of the most important things in the life of every human. In this episode, we will be exploring if truly man has a purpose and if yes, how can he find it.
