STAND

Once you have set out to do good, evil will become your enemy. Once you have vowed to step forward, some people will vow to bring you down. Once you have decided to pursue good, evil will do its best to unleash negativity on you. You have a choice to bow out or stand up tall and face your fear.

Whatever is worth celebrating is worth fighting for. Greatness will never be dropped in your lap. You have to fight for it, do your best to claim your portion, and never let go until you embrace it.

In the process of striving to get what you want, go for what is possible and make your life count. You are going to face the challenges of your life. Your best friend may turn out to be your worst enemy, efforts may end up in futility. You may try and try and never have something tangible to show for it.

Your whole life might turn upside down. You may end up losing everything, finding yourself in the troubled side of life. Your expected rewards might not appear as expected, but regardless of how hard you try, do one thing: STAND.

Stand to let the world know that until you get it, you won’t let go. Stand to let the world know, that if you don’t get it, no one will. Stand to let the world know that is either you get it or you will create it. Stand to project to the world that no matter the prevailing circumstances, your attitude to life will remain stable, calm, and focused.

What does it mean to stand:

S—Stable

T—Trust

A—And

N—Never

D— Doubt

Stand to keep your marriage because what you see on social media is often fake. Reality is what happens that is not captured on camera. Stand firm and finish your classes because education might not make you a millionaire, but it makes you responsible for your bills without relying on others.

Stand strong and train your children because that is the path to your posterity. Stand up and keep going, never let go because, for sure, your compensation is coming.

Why must you stand? Only those who stand firm and endure the race of life will be rewarded in the end. The reason is simple; the reward of life may take time, but always remember, the laborer is worthy of his hire.

BUILD

Leave a reply

To make a mark, to be celebrated, adored, and honored, you must build. Those who ignore building something will forever pay for something without receiving tangible benefits. Building is hard, demanding, and comes with weight that sometimes results in unbearable pain.

However, leaders don’t care about the pain; they always look past it and focus on the gain. That is why the popular saying goes, “No Pain, No Gain.”

Everything you call life today is built. Your country is constructed for posterity, securing future generations. The medical world is built to care for people’s health, the transportation industry to help the world move from point A to point B with ease.

The food industry to feed people healthily, and the entertainment industry to help people relax, rejuvenate, and appreciate their own efforts. So, whatever you call life today is a product of what is built, either by an individual or by a group.

For example, the 10 leading Fortune 500 companies have the following builders behind them: Apple was built by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Amazon by Jeff Bezos, Microsoft by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Google by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Facebook was built by Mark Zuckerberg, Tesla by Elon Musk, Berkshire Hathaway by Warren Buffett, JPMorgan Chase by J.P. Morgan, Johnson & Johnson by Robert Wood Johnson I, James Wood Johnson, and Edward Mead Johnson, and Procter & Gamble by William Procter and James Gamble.

Why must you build?

You must build to make the world a better place, imprint your name on the surface of the earth, inspire others with what is possible, and secure your posterity.

I know building is not easy, but not to be is more dangerous. Have some people built? Yes. Is it easy for them? No. Can you undergo the process? Yes. But would you give your best and start now? That is the answer I want you to comment below.

Just for situational awareness, if you don’t build, you may regret it. If you don’t build, the next generation will blame you because you will make them do your work. Mike Murdock once said, “there are two types of pains, the pain of discipline and the pain of regret.”

Those who don’t build will embrace the latter, while the former is for builders. Always remember, it’s a builder’s world.

WORK—132

Leave a reply

I understand that nothing seems to be happening. Your expectations remain unmet, and things aren’t going as planned. I acknowledge that you’ve tried everything within your ability. The critical question is, have you considered work? Yes, have you worked?

Work is the antidote to lack. When something isn’t working, it’s usually because someone is not working. The scripture that resonated with me is Gen 2:5, “…for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground.” Through divine revelation, I interpret that where there is no one to work, God withholds His blessings. In simple terms: Work triggers God’s blessings.

-The foundation of work is the removal of shame.

-The pillar of work is planning.

-The beauty of work is team building.

-The essence of work is results.

-The peace of work is confidence.

-The dignity of work is respect.

-The demand of work is now.

-The necessity of work is change.

-The impact of work is security.

-The secret of work is opportunity.

When you work, things will not worsen.

When you work, beauty will be sustained.

When you work, peace will be restored.

When you work, assurance will be given.

When you work, promises will be guaranteed.

You must work when others are working.

You must work when others are tired.

You must work when others are resting.

You must work when others are sleeping.

You must work when others are doubting.

Work adds value to life.

Work invites joy into life.

Work brings meaning to life.

Work gives assurance to life.

Work breathes life into life.

Remember this for the rest of your life. People may not know whether you’re working or not, but they can’t deny the compensation available to workers. Work is what prevents things from getting worse.

My thought—Day 69

The surefire way to get nothing, to end up with nothing, and to have nothing is simply to do nothing. The reason is straightforward: nothing attracts nothing, but something always attracts something. In life, nothing is designed to work; instead, everything must be worked on. The journey of life and the path to your destination always require your diligence, refusing to be idle. Idleness is a dark place that aims to silence great destinies and squash greatness.

Therefore, as you prepare to make a difference in your life and business, I bring you good news: always reject idleness. While waiting for big break, keep yourself busy with small tasks. While waiting for that significant breakthrough, always embrace break-in. Focus on small things and while waiting for big thing. And while waiting for feedback, continue working on something in the background.

No one has the power to start life at the end result. Everyone starts with nothing, gradually works towards something, and eventually achieves great things. It’s about taking action, engaging in activities, maintaining consistency, which leads to productivity and, ultimately, provides unlimited results.

Always remember, as long as you don’t give up, you will never go down. If you keep showing up and you will keep going up and you will soon celebrate your success.

Prayer Points
John 3:8
For the Spirit-wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound,[f] but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is within the hearts of those who are Spirit-born!”

MSG
You know well enough how the wind blows this way and that. You hear it rustling through the trees, but you have no idea where it comes from or where it’s headed next. That’s the way it is with everyone ‘born from above’ by the wind of God, the Spirit of God.”

LB
Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it will go next, so it is with the Spirit. We do not know on whom he will next bestow this life from heaven.”

Ø Father empower to remain in the Holy Spirit so, I will be undecodable by the world.

Prophecies
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

This is your year of everlasting life in Christ without any earthly interferences.

For when you drink the water I give you it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, springing up and flooding you with endless life!”

This Water… physical Water for the thirsty people
The Water… spiritual water to the weary and thirsty soul

Jesus does not only bless people; He settles them.
You will not just get an answer to your question, or you will become a solution to your problem; instead, you will be the source of helping others to navigate their lives.

Inspiration

The Success of Jesus does not put an end to the trending waves of John success. The answer is simple; there was much Water in the area.

The 5 Secrets of Life John 3:22-23
The Understanding of the availability of resources ends competition…because there was plenty
Those who lack understand complain… Jesus and John baptized at the same time
The Word gives Platform for Everyone to work…Enough Water provides both opportunities to all
Competition does not exist to them that understand life…Both were working without distraction
Those who need service are too enormous than people who serve…Consumers are also much; real producers don’t fight over consumers; they only protect them.

The Secret
John 3:27
…A person cannot receive even one thing unless God bestows it

MSG
“It’s not possible for a person to succeed—I’m talking about eternal success—without heaven’s help.

LB
God in heaven appoints each man’s work.

Ø All that you have belongs to God, you are just a steward.

John 4:10
Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living Water.

Ø Jesus is the gift of God to mankind.
