LEARN TO SUSTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND STAMINA

-

Your journey is far and you need stamina as much as you need speed. Your race is dependent more on stamina than speed, thus, stay in the gym of God and take as much strength in him. Be dependent on the strength that comes from God and you will surely finish well and strong. It's a matter of time before your challenges turn to celebration. You may be tired along the way but your stamina in God will carry you through. Build stamina in God and his word. Be totally dependent on the strength that comes from God and your strength will never fail. In him, our strength is sustained. In him, our strength is renewed. In him, we become as though younger in years because he carries us miraculously. There is so much land to possess for God and you don't want to grow old like Joshua to hear from God that you are old and stricken in years and yet there is so much to do. Joshua conquered a lot of lands and yet there were several lands unconquered and God listed them all. Could you say that he was totally fulfilled?  I perceived he was not as old as Moses yet, he was called old. You need to learn how to sustain your strength in God and it is simple. The way you grow is the way you grow. The way you receive strength is the way to maintain it. You received strength in God by his word and you maintain strength and sustain it in his word. Your journey is far, young man and you need to eat and drink from the word of God. Elijah was tired and he slept. The angel of the Lord woke him to eat and drink for the journey is far ahead. Some young people have not faced any serious issues in life and they have become tired. They are worn out. May I tell you, that you need to stay in God to sustain your strength. You need to stay in prayer to sustain your strength. Caleb asked for bigger mountains to subdue at eighty years of age. He referred to his youthful days that his strength never changed. He said he was as though the forty years old Caleb at eighty years. His strength remains untouched. Young man, learn to sustain your strength in God. Be busy doing his will and you will find out that even at old age, you are totally relevant in his agenda. Don't be tired of his word. Don't outgrow it. Don't chase goals and vision and forget the source of the goals and vision. The only way to finish strong is the only way you have started well. Caleb said God kept me. It is in God you can sustain your strength. It is in God you can be fruitful till the end. As you grow older, you shine brighter. As you age, you become more fruitful. God is aware that it is possible for a man to become weak as he grow old but those that wait upon God, he renews their strength. God is the only one who can renew your strength young man and make you eternally relevant and be productive even as you grow old. His word, fellowship with him and commitment to doing his will will make you evergreen. He can tell you that you finished the assignment when you are done. You don't want to hear, there are so many things you didn't do. I wish you would have done this and that but you are now weak. Build your strength to last in your younger years and be sure you will shine brighter as you age. 

Reference: Joshua 13, 14.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol...

EXCUSES

-
Excuse me, man, excuses are never going to be genuine says, my philosophical friend. There is no amount of excuse that you give in not doing a thing that will be enough a substitute to doing that thing. You need to know that you have huge excuses on your path in your making process. Excuse your body will give, your desire will give, your lack of one thing or the other will give, so as not to achieve a task. Beware. Excuses will limit the height you should travel in life. Excuses present themselves as your disadvantages, your limitations, your huge boundary, or a mountain to climb. If you don't wake up and deal with every tenable and untenable excuse, you won't go far. The spy sent by Moses came back with devastating excuses that were enough to cause the people not to go on and possess their promised land. Only two stood out with different testaments. The land is filled with milk and honey but there is an obstacle that can get you stuck on the road without entering the land. The...

THE USERS AND THE ABUSERS

-
If there is a bottomless pit, there is a roofless height. Some stuff you get to go through in life is God's module in making you become his own best version of you: a man or woman with no limit. Yes, with no limit. You are in God's program. Some deep pit that you may have been buried in may seem so deep that you sink into it more by the day based on your calculation. But in God's agenda, if the pit is so deep, the height of glory is roofless. There is no plateau in and with God. Once, you have been correctly planted and you germinate well, expect God to move you up the ladder higher and higher. Once you don't deviate from the right principle in God, you can be certain that there is a roofless height of manifestation. For young people, make sure you are planted well. Don't worry if those who "use" you. Learn well, don't give up, and ultimately stay in God. Be aware of the "abusers" too. Runaway from this set of people. They won't allow you...
