Personal Development

When God’s purposes are fulfilled in our lives and we end up becoming all He had in mind for us to become, we are said to have fulfilled the destiny He had for us. This involves our development in various aspects of our lives, including our character , (in becoming more like Christ), our knowledge of who God is and His plans and purposes for our lives, our knowledge of who we have become in Christ and what potential has been invested in us. Destiny has to do with, 1. Maximising the potential God invested in you. 2. It is living a life that fulfils the purposes for which you were put on earth. It demands discovery, development and deployment of potential. It involves process wherein you are being built up to fulfil the end result God had for you. God created us with loads of potential. Laziness, ignorance and carelessness can...

It is always very inspiring to read or watch heroes in real life or in fiction.  Heroes beat the odds; they think out of the box, their beliefs are different from that of others.  They stand out, that is why they are heroes.  We admire them, their courage, their wits and imagination. Sometimes they cut the image of someone from another world, not held down by the limitations of this world.  They seem to be dancing to another tune while others are involved with some different music. We all have our heroes in different fields of endeavor and they may not all fit the bill I am describing, but they are heroes nonetheless. When I think of what God has done for the human race in sending His Son to the cross for us, and think of what battles we face in the flesh, in the world and with the hosts of...

When God told the children of Israel to take the land, their response was that they were like grasshoppers. It is possible for God to say something, mean something, plan something and it is very possible for us, because of the state of our mind to stop that thing from coming to pass in our lives. Because of this, we need to study the role of the mind in our walk with God. By the time we turn twelve, most of our minds are already formed. For example, when we take a glass of water, the water will take the shape of the glass, because that glass is already formed, so anything that we pour into it will be defined by the form, the form that is already our mind. The children of Israel had the Hittites and the Jebusites to overcome in the Promised Land. The Hittites and the Jebusites...

Genesis 26 is a case study on all the factors involved in enjoying abundance during recession. The basis of God’s blessings is the blessing of the covenant of Abraham. Deuteronomy 8:18 says God gives us the power to get wealth to establish His covenant. Obedience and service to God are conditions for living days in pleasures and spending years in prosperity (Job 36:11). Isaac obeyed God and sowed in the land of famine. The blessing of God makes rich and adds no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). The blessing thrives in the midst of trouble. Isaac’s obedience was the key to activating the existing covenant God had with His father, Abraham. He also sowed in the land and reaped a hundred fold in the same year. Isaac began to prosper and continued until he was very prosperous. Isaac put God first, respected God’s Word and built his life around God’s covenant Word...

Money, fame, popularity and gadgets are the things that go with success today. Many have come by these through hard work, diligence and providing relevant services or products for others. They have come by success the hard way but they did it with right hearts. No doubt, many have gone about it the crooked way and have been termed successful too. It is possession of these things that define success in our world today. No wonder many go at it anyhow as long as they can have it. This is the foundation of corruption. The man in his “fallen state” sees success as the acquisition of these things and aims at getting them no matter the cost. Some have achieved these at the expense of their vital relationships, like family and marriage. Few have done things right, namely developing their gifts and engaging in services beneficial to humanity. They did not...

SETTING AND ACHIEVING GODLY GOALS To set a goal is to the take the initiative, that given the perceived available resources, and the given circumstances, one desires a particular  outcome and one goes for it. Goal setting is the art of purposing in ones heart what exactly one wants to achieve or accomplish. It has many benefits as it helps us steward our time and possibly our potential. All through the bible we see goals set and achieved, even though the word "Goals" was not written in the bible. No great achievement was done without it being set as a goal, even if it is not described as or called a goal. Goal setting can become a tool to help time management as well as inspire productivity and help accomplish great eat things in life. It can be used by an individual or any organisation and the results have been phenomenal...

Entering into Your Prophetic Destiny Your prophetic destiny is that which God has ordained for you! What God ordained for you is in God's heart, waiting for you to discover and develop yourself so you can participate with God for the fulfilment of it. God has His plans for everyone He created! We have the power of choice to choose to cooperate and participate with God or do otherwise. His plans are for our good! Jeremiah 29:11-14 (AMPC) For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search...

Determination, Discovery, Discipline will lead to fulfilling Destiny Determine to press into the future God has for you. Your determination starts with decisions. Decide to lay hold of all God has for you. Some decisions include: letting God’s Word be final authority in your life; deciding to be a student of life and a student for life; letting the Holy Spirit teach you things you don’t know or don’t have the right orientation about. Decide to watch your tongue and be a doer of God’s Word. Some things are not properly learnt because the inner motives may not be correct. So many times people want to obey an instruction from God but don’t check if their motives are in harmony with a God’s way of doing things. When motives are wrong, God’s purposes go unfulfilled even though the people believe or think they are obeying God.   James 1:21-25 (NKJV) Doers-Not Hearers Only Therefore lay...
