God sees you in your holding area (period of life when you feel stuck or stagnant). You are there for a reason; you are being held there as He is reserving you for something greater. #DoulosCellCelebration
Identify that spirit called “self-entitlement” because it exists so strongly nowadays, and it kills gratitude. I rebuke it, may the Lord dismantle it and throw it to the ground!
The thing about life coaches is that most will validate your feelings so much, identifying the psychological state of the person you’re up against without also making you accountable for your own actions. They provide solutions of division instead of reconciliation.
It's all about being brave to keep going at it, keep building businesses even when you don't succeed at first. You need to stretch thin enough to know that you can build even from there.
I realized that majority of us don't want to start a business because we haven't found a business that will surely produce profit. I learned that businessmen don't think this way, being business-minded is tied up to having the mental capacity to take losses.
Ministry is not just for aesthetics. It’s not ministry if it does not get to the messy part and it’s not ministry if it does not reach the least. Ministry is for ministering, ministering first to God, then ministering to people.
I am a product of small seeds of faith in my childhood and in my teenage years. My mentors have faces but many of them are not known, even so, they have believed, they have done their part in sowing. My fruits are their fruits.
Is the Church all about what’s trendy? Is it about fashion? Is it about eloquence? Is it about the in crowd? Because if it is, it’s too shallow for me and I don’t want it. Good thing it isn’t. Church is still all about compassion, a love abounding in grace.
"You believe a certain way depending on people you run with."
Your belief depends on people you're surrounded with -what they did/said, what they didn't -a disposition that has been predetermined.
