PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S A SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDING MINISTERIAL CALLING!

You are either CALLED or NOT. Everyone CALLED is a MESSENGER. And every MESSENGER is GIVEN a SPECIFIC and SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT with a MESSAGE to FEED the FLOCKS – God’s own Heritage – with the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that’s TOWARD God and His Christ, and NOT TOWARD man or creation at all. John 17:3/Jeremiah 3:15.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance TOWARD God, and faith TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honor and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

Those NOT CALLED, are not MESSENGERS but HIRELING – Thieves and Robbers – John 10:8, 12-13. And with such there is NO MESSAGE nor any specific given assignment of God but that of their self-indulgence, gratification, men applaud and egotism under the influence of satanic/demonic and cohorts mission. This is the reason for – Adulteration, Schism, Bewitching, Robbery, Dogmas, Sorcery, Falsehoods, Confusion and such like, in the body Ministry of the Gospel, indicating and supposedly the signs of the last days – Philippians 1:15-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 3:1-7.

These sets of SELF-MADE-UP and SELF-CALLED Pastors, are full of fables, philosophy of men, endless genealogies, vain jangling, teachers of idealism and realism, denominational made up creeds, man-made tradition and dogmas that leads people to further bondages and hence makes God’s WORD of no effect in the Gospel – 1 Timothy 1:1-11.

PASTORAL MINISTRY? It’s not an Office Position – It’s a set Ministerial Calling – It’s a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING that is principled with responsibility and accountability in Christ Jesus stead, for the GLORY and PRAISE of God. Galatians 6:14-16; Revelation 4:11. It’s a set MINISTERIAL calling to LEAD and LEADERSHIP of God’s REDEEMED, PRECIOUS and BLESSED people; and not to the BOSS and DOMINEER people around for self-gratification and egotism. There’s no room for SELF INTEREST and SELFISHNESS in the PASTORAL MINISTRY as a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING of God.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is A THIEF AND A ROBBER. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers . . . 11 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine . . .” John 10:1-18.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 THAT FRUSTRATETH THE TOKENS OF THE LIARS, AND MAKETH DIVINERS MAD; THAT TURNETH WISE MEN BACKWARD, AND MAKETH THEIR KNOWLEDGE FOOLISH; 26 THAT CONFIRMETH THE WORD OF HIS SERVANT, AND PERFORMETH THE COUNSEL OF HIS MESSENGERS; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof” Isaiah 44:24-26.

PASTORAL OBLIGATIONS

PASTORAL OBLIGATIONS: TO HEALTHILY FEED THE FLOCKS OF GOD – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE IN TRUTH!

My dear Pastor’s, the time is come and it’s now, when you need to FEED the Flocks of God with THE TRUTH, in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, to PROFIT them in the Kingdom; and to cause them to enjoy the grace and BLESSEDNESS of eternal life from this side of heaven – Matthew 6:10. This is to enable them to be heavenly mindful and of earthly good.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

We need to FEED them in such a way that they can KNOW God as the only true Father God and Jesus Christ as the only way for human SALVATION – in all about their Redemption; and all these by the effectual works of the BLESSED Holy Spirit of grace. John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12.

This is not the time to FEED them with moon light storytelling if you’ve been DOING that with traditional dogmas and fables, endless genealogies, religious oblations, demonic dogmas, denominational creeds, social media myths and gimmicks and philosophy and such like. For all those will leads to more bondage, satan and satanic cohorts, demonic evil works and entanglement, and many more such likes, as we’ve seen, and do see and witness across the boards these days in various media platforms and supposedly called worship centres. Only the TRUTH sets free and gives the enabling promise of the word for the good of all

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE in MY WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:31-32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I AM the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

I sincerely plead with you Flocks today and right now – be warn where you go to FEED. Go for the THE TRUTH in knowledge and understanding in Christ Jesus stead. Your definition in life and grace is in your FEEDING on the TRUTH, toward your well-being in Christ Jesus stead. And in this challenging time of the FAMINE of THE WORD of God, you need to ensure that in your getting, get the knowledge and understanding of the truth, that the wisdom that’s profitable to direct your life affairs are WITHIN reach. Proverbs 4:7; Ecclesiastes 10:10. Amos 8:12-13.

God’s PROMISE to you is this and you can hold Him to It; for He’s good and faithful, true and sure to His WORD.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

In This CHALLENGING Time – Only The WORD of Grace Makes The Difference – FEED God’s People Healthily, for we are in the FAMINE of the WORD of TRUTH. Amos 8:11-13.

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – IN TIME AS THIS GENERATION

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – IN TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE – SEEK A FRIEND, PASTOR, COUNSELOR!

“A man that hath friends must SHEW himself FRIENDLY: and there is a friend that STICKETH CLOSER than a brother” Proverbs 18:24.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine HEART, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22.

It’s TIMELESS TIMES with many reasons to be in DESPONDENT state, but it’s UNHEALTHY state – in time as of this generation, and you don’t have to be in a DESPONDENT state – It’s time to crave, seek, pursue and follow the path that will help you get the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING through counsel – that you might thrive and live onwards and upwards again. You can find a FRIEND, PASTOR and COUNSELOR to help you out of darkness into God’s light of life that you might thrive and live again.

“For God, who COMMANDED the LIGHT to shine OUT of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

It’s always good and healthy for me in taking or making out time – on a one-to-one timeline – to share life matter with my one for certain TRUSTED Sister, friend and confident person at relax and leisure moment. You can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it last. Life is good with God and for you in having one good Friend, Pastor and or Counsellor that you can trust without shame, fear, sentiments and can be honest to even in a fault. There may have been many disappointed friend, pastor and or counsellor to TRUST, but I know you can still be able to find one TRUSTED friend as you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY too in expecting same from OTHERS. And you can find one today, that can BOOSTER you no matter how bad it seems, if you make an effort than staying or being DESPONDENT about life generally.

Just as we seek after trusted Pastor’s, to FEED us without prejudice and sentiments, but with the PRINCIPLE of rightful knowledge and understanding, to enable us do life in grace effectually and efficiently, so endeavour to get a trusted FRIEND- PASTOR – COUNSELOR, that you can be HONEST to, even to a fault and feel safe in everyway in LIFE and GRACE. It’s rare, but ARE there. You mustn’t stand or sit STATIC in life. God has more to do in and through you than you can imagine in your LONE or LONELY path or self-defeat position.

It’s time to BELIEVE again in order to create, innovate, initiate and explore God’s given opportunity and endowment that are out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend and or Pastor and or counsellor, that you can sit together and share your hearts without shame, fear and prejudice even if it’s to a fault.

There’s hope in God. There’s a miracle. God is faithful, true and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance except you refused yourself God’s enabling opportunity in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today – don’t give up due to one mistake or failure or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God, there’s a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS!

May you find a reason to rise again today. God loves and cares about you, even so do in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

PANDEMIC CHALLENGE – KNOW FOR SURE THAT – You ARE The Church

By Leave a Comment

PANDEMIC CHALLENGE – KNOW FOR SURE THAT – You ARE The Church: You Are Not Being Closed – You Can’t Be Closed – It’s Just The Gathering Place Been Shut!

The Scriptures say that wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct. And because not all of us are in the same wave of grace and strength as a Church to withstand robustly some measures, it’s very important that every sacrifice to help especially the young in Faith are considered – hence the building gathering may be considered shut for the time been, the services for the advancement of the Kingdom Causes are not shut. It’s not a weakening but a wise sense to flourish all. It’s a challenge to the awakening of the times in order to become WHAT you are and of WHOM you are in all circumstances.

For Apostle Paul did say, for the WEAK I became WEAK to make them grow along and together as others, to the place of STRENGHT – that’s what a good shepherd of the flocks does. And to the strong, I do all I can to keep them strengthened the more he said. As we take care for the Sheep, so the Lambs who are most vulnerable, for they can’t be forgotten; they are part of this journey of LIFE and GRACE in the Kingdom Causes of our God – to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.

For we are the Church being built of the Father God in our Lord Christ Jesus by the Word through prayers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit; as such we the Church are not the structurally and architecturally building; hence as a charismatic and dynamic body, we can adapt with the changes to advance the Kingdom Causes of our God as we keep the enemy and cohorts at bay through this period until the world present predicament come to a hold at least.

As Moses and His leadership was able to take along the mobile Church in the wilderness to the promised land of grace in spite of the ups and downs, may every Pastoral leadership I pray, will by God’s wisdom takes God’s people under their Shepherding to the places of stability, strength and counsel in LIFE and GODLINESS during this challenging and difficult times of our Health and Economic as we all all being tested again WORLD wide.

The Churches leadership can use the services of the home cell groups or and social media streamlining platforms or and recorded videos and or Audio and video formats to transmit the Word to keep the Church services alive and engaged gracefully and graciously in knowledge and understanding without disruptions. More so, using the telephone lines as timeless avenues for counselling and prayers where needed in cause of channelling cares.

May I make this profound note for everyone to know that during the cause and course of this process that the dynamics in which we go about doing and running Church services will be changing and denominational boundary and limitations will be broken. So get ready to wise up from the limited bonds and conditions you may have built yourself all these while.

It’s my prayers that as Pastoral leadership team open up the more to the Holy Spirit, there will be absolute update to lead the flocks of God unhindered in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast” Isaiah 26:20.

“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: BUT WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

“To the WEAK became I as WEAK, that I might GAIN the WEAK: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means SAVE some. 23 And this I do for the GOSPEL’S SAKE, that I might be partaker thereof with you” 1 Corinthians 9:22-23.

“We then that are STRONG ought to bear the INFIRMITIES of the WEAK, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to EDIFICATION. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me” Romans 15:1-3.

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to SUPPORT THE WEAK, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE” Acts 20:35.

“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ” Matthew 16:16-20.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP” John 21:16-17.

 “And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall feed you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“The ELDERS which are among you I EXHORT, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED THE FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

THE EAGLE WAY

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about RELATIONSHIP – THE EAGLE and THE EAGLETS – that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is a failure in disguise; in the same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a completely unprecedented disaster in the waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating its kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET become another KING of the Sky. It’s a belief that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY, to BECOME, and to MAKE others be in the sky. That’s the earnest act that makes the Eagle turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is the same, whether in FAMILY, MINISTRY, BUSINESS, CAREER, POLITICS, LEADERSHIP, CHARITABLE CAUSES and SUCH LIKES; it is in every endeavour of human acts of doing life.

It is upon the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after, they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of PRODUCTIVITY and the continuous reproducing of one’s kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore, the EAGLE WAY – is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE the DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicate to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS, and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to one’s plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavour of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Don’t be a SHEEP without a SHEPHERD. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind – the Holy Spirit – He will guide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

Greatness Is Within Your Reach. It’s Time For Productivity – THE EAGLE WAY.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

PASTORAL OBLIGATIONS: Healthily FEED The FLOCKS of God – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE!

My dear Pastor’s, the time is come and it’s now, when you need to FEED the Flocks of God with knowledge and understanding to PROFIT them in the Kingdom; and to cause them to enjoy the grace and BLESSEDNESS of eternal life from this side of heaven – Matthew 6:10.

This is to enable them to be heavenly mindful and of earthly good.

We need to FEED them in such a way that they can KNOW God as the only true Father God and Jesus Christ as the only way for human SALVATION – in all about their Redemption; and all these by the effectual works of the BLESSED Holy Spirit of grace.

This is not the time to FEED them with moon light storytelling if you’ve been DOING that with traditional dogmas and fables, endless genealogies, religious oblations, demonic dogmas, denominational creeds and philosophy and such likes. For all those will leads to more bondage, satan and satanic cohorts,  demonic evil works and entanglement, and many more such likes, as we’ve seen, and do see and witness across the boards these days in various media platforms and supposedly called worship centres.

I sincerely plead with you Flocks today and right now – be warn where you go to FEED. Your definition in life and grace is in your feeding towards your well being in Christ Jesus stead.

God’s PROMISE to you is this and you can hold Him to It.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

In This CHALLENGING Time – Only The WORD of Grace Makes The Difference – FEED God’s People Healthily.

SCRIPTURES WORTH PONDERING:

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” Acts 5:20.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15

“And this is life eternal, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:3.

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and THIS LIFE is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” 1 John 5:11-12.

“. . . 20 And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:16-21.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is ABLE to BUILD YOU UP, and TO GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – IN TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE!

It’s a TIMELESS TIMES – in time as this generation, and you don’t have to be in a DESPONDENT state – It’s time to crave, seek and pursue to get the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING  through counsel – that you might live onwards and upwards again.

It’s always good for me in taking or making out time – on a one to one timeline – to share life matter with my one for certain TRUSTED Sister, friend and confident person at relax and leisure moment. You can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it last. Life is good with God and for you in having one good friend you can trust without shame, fear, sentiments and can be honest to even in a fault. There may have been many disappointed friend to trust, but I know you can still be able to find one TRUSTED friend as you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY too. You can find one today, that can booster you no matter how bad it seems, if you make an effort than staying or being DESPONDENT about life generally.

Just as we seek after trusted Pastor’s, to FEED us without prejudice and sentiments, but with the PRINCIPLE of rightful knowledge and understanding, to enable us do life in grace effectually and efficiently, so endeavour to get a trusted friend, you can be HONEST to, even to a fault and feel safe in everyway in LIFE and GRACE. It’s rare, but are there. You mustn’t stand or sit STATIC in life. God has more to do in and through you than you can imagine in your lone or lonely path or self-defeat position.

It’s time to BELIEVE again in order to create, innovate, initiate and explore God’s given opportunity that are out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend and or Pastor, you can sit together and share your hearts without shame, fear and prejudice.

There’s hope in God. There’s a miracle. God is faithful, true and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance except you refused yourself God’s enabling opportunity in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today – don’t give up due to one mistake or failure or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God, there’s a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS!

May you find a reason to rise again today. God loves and cares about you, even so do I in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about RELATIONSHIP – THE EAGLE and THE EAGLETS – that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is failure in disguise; in same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a complete unprecedented disaster in the waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating it’s kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET to become another KING of the Sky. It’s a believe that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY, to BECOME; and to MAKE others to be on the sky. That’s the earnest act that makes the Eagle to turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is same, whether in FAMILY, MINISTRY, BUSINESS, CAREER, POLITICS, LEADERSHIP, CHARITABLE CAUSES and SUCH LIKES; it is in every endeavour of human acts of doing life.

It is upon the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after, they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of  PRODUCTIVITY and the continuous reproducing of ones kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore the EAGLE WAY – is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE the DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicates to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS; and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to ones plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavour of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Don’t be a SHEEP without a SHEPHERD. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind – the Holy Spirit – He will glide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

Greatness Is Within Your Reach. It’s Time For Productivity – THE EAGLE WAY.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.
