Conquest to Victory

Hey there, you are now a few days into 2012 and I want to know if you have decided where you are going? This is very crucial if you are going to win in this year. It is pointless to just hope for the best. You must have an idea of what the best is and where to find it.

How are you going to get to a destination if you haven’t decided on where you want to go? If you just want to go for a ride then the devil will send one of his agents to assist you. So being specific is the better way. In order to hit your target you must first aim at it.

All the best to you on your ventures this year and beyond. May the road you take lead you to God’s destiny for you.

Here is a quick devotional for your inspirational reading:

Conquest to Victory


"And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly"
(Romans 16:20).

This promise follows well upon that of last week. We are
evidently to be conformed to our covenant Head, not only in His
being bruised in His heel but in His conquest of the evil one.
Even under our feet is the old dragon to be bruised.

The Roman believers were grieved with strife in the church; but
their God was "the God of peace" and gave them rest of soul. The
archenemy tripped up the feet of the unwary and deceived the
hearts of the simple; but he was to get the worst of it and to be
trodden down by those whom he had troubled.

This victory would not come to the people of God through their
own skill or power; but God Himself would bruise Satan. Though it
would be under their feet, yet the bruising would be of the LORD
alone.

Let us bravely tread upon the tempter! Not only inferior spirits
but the prince of darkness himself must go down before us. In
unquestioning confidence in God let us look for speedy victory.
"Shortly." Happy word! Shortly we shall set our foot on the old
serpent! What a joy to crush evil! What dishonor to Satan to have
his head bruised by human feet! Let us by faith in Jesus tread
the tempter down.

Do You Agree?

“Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.”
George Eliot

One of the biggest obstacles you can face at times is getting people to agree. This is something that all of us can identify with. You may have faced it in
your family, neighborhood, church, school, or at work.

Yes, all of us have a right to different views and opinions. My concern today is do we really give one another a chance to openly share before we immediately oppose? You don’t have to agree with everything I say.

Before I run out of time, here is what I want you to consider:

Today I speak life over…You.
In addition to that I speak strength to… You.
I also believe that there is hope for… You.
It doesn’t matter how you feel I pray health upon… You.
What happened yesterday leave it behind… You.
It will be better for the long life God intended for… You.
May you always have peace with… You.
No need to worry because God always surrounds… You.
May that help to keep alive the joy within… You.
I pray that your walk be right so that blessings will overtake… You.
Keep moving forward because favor is following…You.
Be careful what you do because somebody is watching…You.
Be careful what you say, your words will help… You .
Don’t give up, keep trying because success awaits… You.
Always keep your head up because Jesus will come again for… You.
Why am I doing this because God loves… You.

And my question to you, “Do You Agree?”

Stop Boring Your Angels

I know many days it feels like every thing that could go wrong has gone wrong. What I want to help you realize is why is everything going wrong. Before you jump to any conclusion please give me another moment. Not everything that goes on wrong in your life originates fromexternal sources. If you allow me to ask, what if the problem is you? I know that may be hard to swallow but I do include myself also in this scenario.

Here’s the deal, the words that come out of your mouth can produce good or evil fruit. This means it will result in life or death, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" Proverbs 18:21 (KJV).This is why the current affairs of your life should not surprise you at times. If stop to think long enough you will remember some words that you have said in the past.

Let me help you, “Nothing good ever happens to me” , “I hate my life”, etc. Today I come as a reminder to let you know that you must watch what you say. Not only you hear what you say but there are angels and devils also listening.

God has special angels that he has assigned to your life. Let me inform you that you are responsible for giving them work to do. Every good word that comes out of your mouth you are keeping your angels active. Imagine declaring “I will have favor today”. “The Lord is blessing me right now”, “All my needs are met”, “God shall supply all my needs”, “I am in good health”.

Every statement like these you are declaring by faith. As you do it your angels are doing their part to work it out. All you have to do is keep putting these positive words in the atmosphere. Many times we allow our angels to get bored waiting around for us to give them an assignment. Are you guilty of this offense? Imagine having all the personal help you need and not taking advantage of it. Your angels are ready to defend, provide, protect.

On the other hand every negative word spoken you attract evil spirits and devils. Most often it is because of this why so much drama is in your life. You say “I’m broke”, then you end up with broke drama, “I can’t see no way out”, “Ain’t nothing good coming out of this” , “things are going to always be like this, “I don’t feel like living.”

Whatever you speak is what you will give permission to add to your life. Sometimes our environment and upbringing contributes to this. It doesn’t matter how long something has been going on in your life remember you have the power to change it.

If you find it difficult saying positive things there are always resources out there to help you. You can learn how to get a smart mouth. Why don’t you help your angels start making some good things happen for you.

“God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.”
T. L. Cuyler

Warning : 4 Things Your Friends May Be Doing To You

“Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate”.
Thomas Jones

I want to talk to you about this subject that will have a great impact on your life now and later. I know it may seem bold of me to make this claim even before I tell you these important facts. I know that I only have a few minutes of your time but I’ll hurry on if you just give me a few.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Oh no not the television show. I am talking about the ones that are a part of your life. These are the people that have the potential to add value to your life. You must be careful how you choose them because your investment of time and effort is too precious to waste and become unfruitful. So here it goes: -

1.Friends influence your tomorrow.
You must realize that these are the ones that will be in your future. This is why it is important for you to know where you want to go in life. If you don’t make a decision about your destiny then someone will make it for you. If these are people you will spend time with then you need to at least make sure you want to head down the same road. Whether you realize it or not tomorrow is coming faster than you realize. You don’t want to get caught by surprise.

2.Friends push you closer or take you away.
Do you know what your life’s assignment is? Yes, you came here for a purpose. That is why you need to be in pursuit of discovering it. The more you are aware of this then it will help you in your choice of friends. As you aim to fulfill your purpose you will get joy in connecting with people who will help push you closer to it. Otherwise, if allow, there will be volunteers that will gladly take you swiftly away in the other direction.

3.Friends increase or decrease you.
As allow people into your life you will notice signs of increase or decrease. This can be from anything along the lines of knowledge, wisdom, experience, money and the like. Take the time to know yourself. You should be able to discern what is going on with your life and see what changes are taking place. Bear in mind you must be willing to give and take because you have to also add value to others life as well. So don’t be too quick to release others before necessary.

4.Friends help give birth or abort.
After all this time I know you must have a dream inside you that you want to give birth to. This can be a critical stage in life because you must be careful who you share your dream with. Everyone cannot handle what God wants to do in your life. There are some people that appear to be happy for you but are only camouflaging what they really feel inside. Because there has been so much failure in their life they don’t want to see you succeed. That is why some people try to get close to you in order for them to get a good shot at aborting your dream.

It would be kind of you to share your thoughts on this matter.

12 Things To Appreciate About Christmas

“Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.”
Author Unknown


There are certain things in life sometimes you don’t agree with, especially when the true meaning of the subject somehow gets lost. It only takes one person to get the truth twisted and it seems like others spread it like wild fire.

We have just celebrated something that is of great importance to the whole human race, Christmas or the memory of the birth of Jesus Christ. With that said I would just like to share with you 12 things to appreciate about Christmas : -

12. Love - somehow more people see the need to love one another at this time. I wonder why we hold back throughout the rest of the year.

11. Giving - people feel a stronger urge and are compelled to give to others.

10. Family- they see the need to make more calls, spend more time together and appreciate one another.

9. Events - for most people there is no time for a dull moment as there are so many activities and events going on than you can handle.

8. Communication - seems like even those who don’t communicate all year find some way to communicate.

7. Prizes - even the merchants find it necessary to offer incentives to the would be shoppers.

6. Children - they are on everyone’s mind at this time.

5. Holiday - another day off with pay and extra for those that have to work.

4. Decorations - from homes, workplace, churches, communities, to cities. The beauty of ornaments and lights are a sight to see.

3. Music - where we all can find a few songs that we can sing together.

2. Church - the time to hear and reflect on the true meaning of the season.

1. Jesus - if you forget the previous numbers that’s OK, without him this
celebration would not have existed.
