God is looking for people who wonāt get talked out of their dreams, people who arenāt moved by how big the challenge is. The reason God is asking you to do something thatās beyond your ability is because Heās about to show you His favor like youāve never seen.
There are times God will say, āThis season is finished.ā It was a good season; it was productive. You enjoyed it, but to see the new things He has in store, that season will come to an end. Thatās when you have to trust God and say, "You know whatās best for me.ā
Your life is in the hands of Almighty God. Nothing can snatch you away. He determines your beginning, when you would be born, and He determines when youāll come homeānot the sickness, not the trouble, not the enemy. Your life is in Godās hands. His purpose will prevail.
Quit inviting the wrong things. When those thoughts come, do yourself a favor, dismiss them. Donāt give them the time of day. You get to choose what takes up space in your mind. Instead of inviting negative, discouraging, canāt-do-it thoughts. How about inviting faith, inviting hope, inviting the goodness of God?
You went to God with your request. Now add the thanksgiving. Believe that itās already done. From now on, no more begging God for the same thing. āFather, thank You that I am free. Thank You that Iām whole. Thank You that the power in me is greater than whatās trying to stop me.ā
You have an assignment. Thereās a calling on your life, something God has destined you to accomplish. He didnāt put you here to just take up space and hopefully make it through. He created you to leave your mark, to set a new standard for your family. Heās put greatness in you.
Thereās a lot of unnecessary pain we go throughāunnecessary hurt and disappointmentābecause weāre not sensitive to what God is saying. We override what weāre feeling. The beauty is that God knows how to work all things for our good. He can still turn it around, but itās much better to avoid it in the first place.
Sometimes, God will assign you to difficult people. Youāre not there by accident. God has you there to shine brightly. He's counting on you to be a good influence, to be grateful when theyāre complaining, to have integrity when theyāre compromising, to see the best in people.
Donāt dwell on the negative. This is how you live happy, not by avoiding difficult people, but by not taking their poison. Be an eagle; rise higher than the offense, the hurt, the jealousy. When God can trust you to do the right thing when itās hard, thereās no limit to how high He will take you.
Sometimes we donāt think we have what we need. āIf I had more talent, more discipline, more connections, more resources, then I could accomplish my dreams.ā When God called you, He knew everything you didnāt have. He knew who would leave you out, the doors that would close, the family you would come from. None of that is going to stop who you were created to be.
Donāt get stuck looking back, trying to figure out, āWhy didnāt this work out, why did they treat me this way, why did my business slow down?ā Just keep moving forward, honoring God, knowing that it is a necessary ending so that God can do a new thing.
Last year alone I attended in total 15 weddings and I was over the moon about it because well, my friends had chosen commitment over lejaleja.
However that happiness didnāt last because as of today, only 4 of them are still married while the rest are back on the streets.
That statistic alone is heartbreaking. 15 weddings and only 4 still standing says a lot about the times weāre in. We celebrate the wedding day louder than we prepare for the marriage life.
Lately, People invest in Venues, Photos, Hashtags, Matching outfits and forget to invest in Emotional maturity, Conflict resolution, Financial discipline, Forgiveness and Patience which are marriages most important pillars.
Iām not an expert in Relationship or Marriage but one thing I know is they arenāt sustained by vibes, chemistry, or even love alone. They survive on character. And sometimes what breaks homes isnāt cheating or abuse, itās Ego, Constant disrespect, Social media comparisons, Unhealed childhood trauma and Refusing to grow
The scary part is Most couples donāt separate because they fell out of love. No.
They separate because they never built the tools to handle pressure.
Someone will ask, after seeing 11 marriages collapse, what did it teach you? Because sometimes God lets us witness patterns so we donāt repeat them.
Well, I decided to pay attention to the 4 standing ones and I realized that there was communication, parental guidance, prayerful and willingness towards making the marriage work.

If youāre letting your feelings rule you, itās going to limit how high you can go. Nobody can do this for you. You canāt pray away feelings. You will feel things, but those feelings donāt always tell you the truth. You have to override how you feel and decide to have a good attitude, decide to be in a good mood.
