Bible Reading: Isaiah 43:2
Memory Verse: The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. John 6:63 (NLT)
1. On the refiner’s fire: Some things can only be released in the fire. I wish I could tell you that you’ll reach your destiny with just good grades, good education, doors opening, people helping you. But that’s not reality. God uses closed doors, disappointments, betrayals, and loss, too – Joel Osteen.
2. On Attitude 001: No matter how bad you feel, act better than you feel – Pastor George Izunwa
3. On Attitude 002: Attitude is more important than facts.
4. On vengeance: Nobody gets better trying to get even – Pastor George Izunwa.
5. On humour: The easiest way to deflate a bad reality is to add a little humour to it – Pastor George Izunwa.
6. On comfort: Comfort is a drug. Once you get used to it, it becomes addicting. Give a weak person consistent stimulation, tasty food, cheap entertainment and they’ll throw their ambitions right out the window. The comfort zone is where dreams go and die if care is not taken.
7. On a heart for God: You cannot have a heart for God and not have time for Him.
8. On prayer and power: The way to spell prayer is power, and the way to spell power is prayer – Bishop Feyi
9. On mental revolution: Sometimes the chains that prevents us from being free are more mental than physical.
10. On choice/consequences: You are free to choose, but you are not free to alter the consequences of your decisions.
11. On branding: You don’t grow your brand by lowering the price. You grow your brand by ensuring the perceived value is worth the price or even more than the price. Work on the perceived value.
12. On bitterness: No one who permits bitterness ever gets better. The best revenge is massive success.
13. On holiness: A saint is not someone who never sins, but one who sins less and less frequently, and gets up more and more quickly – St. Bernard of Clairvaux.
14. On self condemnation: Do not condemn yourself because of your mistakes, the mercy of God can clean you up and rewrite your story. However, flee from willful sin.
Prophetic Decree: Receive grace to make only the right choices, in Jesus name.
