SEE HOW YOU CAN STAND OUT : MUST READ

Due to the current challenges confronting the life of some believers, they wonder in their hearts if they can ever make it. They wonder if life will just pass them by. They wonder if they can ever stand out among their contemporaries. If you belong to this class, I have good news for you: yes you can become outstanding among others in spite of your current situation. There were many sons of the prophets in the days of Elisha, but only he stood out, so much so that the king of the land acknowledged him, calling him my father. To this end, as previously learnt y, you need to have a vision of what you want to become in order to stand out. You need to choose to change because your choice in life determines your chance. You must be prepared for new ideas. You must maintain good relationships, as the greatest poverty is to not have good friends. Also, you must be informed on current happenings around you.

WHO SAYS YOU ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL,WHY COMPARISON? COMPARISON CAN BREAK YOU:MUST READ

One of the greatest temptations facing the human race today is that of comparison. Making comparisons about virtually everything has become part of life from childhood to old age. We compare family background, physical appearance, intelligence, character, abilities, endowments, life achievements etc. It has systematically turned life in general to a kind of competition. Even little children are known to tell lies in order to measure up on the comparison scale of their mates. Have you compared yourself to others and didn’t quite measure up? Have you ever thought that you are not as beautiful, handsome, smart, capable, charming, gifted or as godly as your friends? Going into this kind of comparison makes it so easy to think that if you had more or knew more, you would be secure and happy. But as a matter of fact, people who have it all, even the most endowed individuals in the world, still struggle with feelings of insecurity.

SEE HOW YOU CAN AVOID FAILURE: MUST READ

Failure is defined as lack of success in a set objective or loss of ability to function normally. Failure occurs when an event doesn’t accomplish it intended purpose. Failure usually ends up as a double tragedy because when a project fails, you lose your investment on the project and afterwards you must pay for the future repercussions of that failure. In most cases, the repercussions of failure are far- reaching and irreversible. With this perspective, it is clear that failure is something of inestimable loss. However, failure always disguises itself as a normal everyday discernment; such a seemingly normal event may develop into a serious tragedy. So it was when Sarah innocently offered her maid to Abraham to conceive a child in Genesis 16:3, and when Iacob suggested to his brother Esau to trade his birthright for pottage in Genesis 25:31. These are examples of ordinary events that resulted into terrible tragedies. I pray that you will not commit any blunder that will lead to terrible tragedies in your life in Iesus’ Name.

YOU MUST NOT LOSE HOPE: MUST READ

So, what are the 5 things that you should always remain positive about, especially through your low points? Let’s find out:

1. Your Health.

I love the saying ‘If there’s nothing wrong with your health, you don’t have a problem’, I’m not saying I fully believe in it (I don’t believe in problems, only situations) but it definitely makes sense. When we are born, there’s only one thing all of us having in common, we are going to die.

I REFUSED TO GIVE UP ON MY MARRIAGE AND IT WORKED FOR ME: TRUE LIFE STORY

-One Saturday morning Scott Nehring walked into his bank, and as he moved toward the line, then collapsed.

His wife Andrea remembers getting the phone call.

“‘Is this Mrs. Nehring?’”

“‘Yes.’”

“‘Is your husband Scott?’”

“‘Yes.’”

“‘Does he have any health problems?’”

“‘Why? What’s going on?’”

“‘Don’t ask any questions. Does he have any health problems?’”

“‘Not to my knowledge.’

“Then he said, ‘Well, he collapsed at the bank. We’ve got people here working on him.’”

Andrea didn’t know if her husband would live or die, and the turbulent early years of their marriage now seemed insignificant . . .
