There are a lot that can hinder the flow of the blessing above limit, the list may be endless but I shall consider a few of these hindrances. The purpose of pointing these hindrances is for it to be known and avoided so that access to the limitless blessings can be secured. 1. Possessing a lack mindset. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Those that think lack never cease from being in want. Their preoccupation is only what to grab at every opportunity that calls, they do not see life as what to contribute but what to grab. If they are giving a treasury to keep watch over, you see them stealing all; they take things they will make use of in life. Because to them life is all about what you can gather, they keep on looting and accumulating a cursed things. Other characteristic of lack mindset is that it make people view life from the negative prism of life, they think impossibility all the time. 2. Not being conscious of the blessing. The greatest discovery in life is self-discover...

You are not blessed because you are rich; you are rich because you are blessed. There are so many people that are in possession of money and riches that are not blessed. Often when blessing is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is money, riches, and wealth. But these are just a part to it but never the whole to it. Because many seem to lack this understanding, they do even the unthinkable to have it money. I say have because in essence they are not blessed; the wealth is gotten by their effort and lacked the blessing of God. Also it is not in man to bless himself/herself; it is God that releases blessing that makes rich – Labor not to be rich Proverb 23:4. The major reason for much labor for riches is due to lack of the understanding of the nature of our blessing and the mindset of lack developed over a long time. This mindset has much become part of many yet effort are not been made to deal with this mindset. NATURE OF OUR BLESSING The blessing has a nature peculiar to i...

Discouragement is a feeling of despair in the face of obstacle, a feeling that everything is wrong and nothing will turn out right; it is a show of hopelessness and loss of confidence. It is a disconnection from courage or a disconnected courage. You use to be connected to courage but for some reason you lost your connection; at this point of disconnect from courage hopelessness and lack of confidence sets in. In the previous post, we discussed about perspective. Discouragement has a whole lot to do with perspective; ones perspective could aid or abate discouragement. So which spectacles are you viewing life from, the lens you put on is purely you choice – if you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small proverb 24:10. Sometimes, discouragement is inevitable and requires that it be well managed to avoid hurt. How to deal with discouragement: 1. Break up the circle of discouragement 2. Think of things that had worked out fine for you in the past. 3. Avoid setting unrealis...

Perspective is a particular attitude towards a thing or way of regarding something; a point of view. Synonyms of perspective are outlook, view, viewpoint, point of view, standpoint, position, stand, stance, angel, slant, attitude, frame of mind, frame of reference, approach, way of looking/thinking, vantage point, and interpretation; all have a lot to say of perspective. Your perspective is you. It defines your interpretation and goes a long way to inform your action or inaction in face of situations and issues of life. We act differently because we understand differently, but perspective informs our perception and perception defines our understanding, understanding guides our action. I can say that the major reason people fight over issues is because there is difference in perspective; people of same perspective share common interest. People see same thing but respond differently; the variance in response is perspective. What angel of the prism of life are you looking from? What ...

There are habits and dispositions resilient people are known with. Their ability to bounce back better than they were with more power and more smart defines who they are but there are habits that proves that they are resilient. We shall take a look at some of habits and it is my desire that you will make frantic effort to develop these habits in your own life; remember in our last discussion we did say that resilience is developed. 1. They have defined goals. When goals are not known and defined, performance assessment becomes an impossible task. So resilient people defines what they are out for per time. 2. They believe the goal is achievable. 3. They are ready to go over it again and again until the goal is achieved. Sees opportunity not chance in every set back encountered; opportunity demands a greater commitment but a chance could be seen as something that will come all the time. 4. Understands that environment must not be favorable; all things cannot be equal. So he/she is...

Resilience is the ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyancy. It is the property of a material that enables it to resume its original shape or position after being bent, stretched, or compressed; elasticity. Resilience defines the quality, strength, and stability of a product; and every manufacturer bears resilience in mind while designing his/her product. God is the master producer and man the greatest of all the products ever. He has created man with the capacity and ability to exhibit resilience. The road to resilience lies in working through the emotions and effects of stress and painful events. So resilience is not going through life without experiencing stress and pains because life without challenges is an illusion. The difference between those that are resilient and those who are not is that the former is smarter than the later; its smartness and not stress-free. Resilience according to Japanese proverb is ‘Never give up; fall do...

Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital and the psycho-social support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé)". Over ages, mentoring has proven to be a veritable tool in character molding and skill development. The much an individual can do has a lot to do with character and skill. A man of skill without character is a tragedy; and often character unlike skill is acquired most through an informal process and training. Talking about informal training is more or else talking about home training and Bible says when a child is trained he will never depart from the training. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he w...

Commitment is an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action. Synonyms that are related to commitment are responsibility, obligation, duty, tie, charge, liability, burden, pressure, task, engagement, undertaking, and arrangement. No venture in life thrives without commitment. Each ones success or failure in pursuit of any venture is a function of the level of commitment put forward. Commitment is the capital in any business. In a culture where freedom is well emphasized and advocated for, commitment becomes a near impossible task; as commitment all the time infringes on one’s freedom. Freedom and commitment are opposite side of two extremes; those who freely relinquish their right to freedom are the committed ones and are the real free ones but those who hold tenaciously to their freedom never have commitment for any reasonable course and in essence end up becoming the slaves of all time. So it is a choice for false freedom or commitment (real freedom). Freedom in an...

Faith is reasoning with the word of God. By this I do not mean reasoning with God’s word with a view of finding basis for argument or support a thought line not in accordance to the principle of faith. It is reasoning with God’s word to draw a conclusion and a basis for taking action. Abraham is the father of faith, he became such by his obedience in sacrificing his son Isaac to the Lord. In the book of genesis we saw how Abraham sacrificed his son Isaac but in the book of Hebrew we understand why he did that. Faith motivated Abraham to sacrifice his son. It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him Hebrew 11:7a NLT Abraham offered Isaac even though God had told him “Isaac is the son through whom your descendant will be counted” Hebrew 11:18 NLT In verse 19 of Hebrew chapter 11, we see how it was possible for Abraham to sacrifice Isaac the son through whom his descendant would be counted. Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring...

Faith is confidence in what God has said and trust in His person which leads to acting on what He has said in his word to prove your confidence in Him. Confidence need to be proved. But it is impossible to build confidence in what one does not understand Understanding strengthens one’s confidence and trust. Until the Ethiopian Eunuch had understanding he could not have faith for salvation. When understanding came confidence answered and salvation entered into his household. [Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian] Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.” So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ...
