SECRET WORKS... Pathway to Relevance

Hello,

You are taking charge today!

Its exactly a week today I honoured a call by a mum who called and needed me to speak with her teen son. Two days prior to my coming he was caught in secret masturbating.

It is one thing cultivating the habit of being alone, it is yet another issue determining what is done being alone.
It seems far easier to discipline oneself in public, than it is in private. You surely would admire my outfits everyday, but does my undies tell same?

Little wonder I went on a ministration sometimes ago in a suit while the day was really hot. My inner shirt wasnt ironed!

People aren't made in public neither are they marred in public. It all begins in the secret life. Relevance begins when we've learnt to make our lives really count in private!

As common as this sounds, its truth can't be over emphasised... We are who we really are in secret and not what we appear to be in public. The strength of your public life is found in a secret lifestyle... Far from the applauds and admiration of others.

Little wonder it is that men who have recorded outward successes aren't moved when criticized, weather of pride or of life patterns... They've discovered a life in their secret that was instrumental in their successes. They aren't just moved by peoples opinions.

By extension, it won't be out of place saying those who are mostly concerned about the words of others about them, those who seek attention at ALL cost, without reservations... Those who fall in love with the publics approval and courts it at all cost... These have no LIFE!

Seek SOLITUDE, but most of all MAKE IT COUNT... Jesus knew this!

Blessed day!

SOLITUDE... A Pathway to Relevance.

Hello,

You are winning on every side!

I recall Jesus calling out to his to be disciples saying "Follow me, I will make you fishers of men". While this is perceived by many as purely ministerial, I see it as a call to INFLUENCE and RELEVANCE and maybe something more...

People, or in a better sense, CROWD is a reward to those who set a trend rather than to those who maintain one. These are the ones who decided to step up their game from being RELEVANT to nearing INDISPENSABILITY.

I find one thing in common to these men... They were NEVER men focused the Crowd. Their results pulled the crowd. They had overtime practiced the habit of SOLITUDE.

Proverbs gave a sound wisdom worth applying... " A man through desire SEPERATES himself and intermedleth with all wisdom". You can't lead when you love being in the midst of people... You end up being like them.

Solitude, if effectively practiced, offers on an opportunity to intermeddle with FORCES AND INSIGHTS beyond the earth realm. It creates openings in areas concluded as closed. It prunes the mind to see the INVINCIBLE and to hear the INAUDIBLE.

Addiction to social medias, people gatherings, and its likes would keep you in the crowd zone and NEVER offer you a platform. Sometimes, the best you need to do for yourself is SWITCH OFF your mobile devices, stroll out to a quiet field, mountain or a private library away from the familiar... Get your study materials and interact with yourself.

Self interaction might include going deep and unfolding layers upon layers of your perceived personality and achievements into touching the sacred soul of your existence... It could mean asking yourself the real questions of life absent of surface urgencies that steal your time... It could mean sitting till a path of real progress for your life has been created clearly in your heart... It could mean so many things!

You've lived all your life with people, you took their opinions and advices, you've lived to gain their attention and approval and your results have reflected it... Its high time you get in touch with YOURSELF and see what you have to offer yourself.

This is the secret to DIFFERENCE!

Good Morning!

Pastor Phil.

PATHWAY TO THE EXTRAORDINARY

Hello,

Progress is certain this day!

Something caught my attention thinking about Abraham and his obedience in sacrificing Isaac. We all know the story, but my fears stemmed from an assumption...

WHAT IF he acted solely on the first command to Kill his son?
WHAT IF Abraham didn't hear God speak the second time?
Whose fault would it have been if Isaac had been Killed? ...God's or Abraham's?

Being CURRENT in your walk with God is a vital tool in remaining RELEVANT. Father Abe was current in hearing God speak... He didn't need to sleep to have a dream for divine direction.

But there's something beyond being CURRENT, its being AHEAD of a trend. This makes you INDISPENSABLE.

As exciting as this sounds 'Being Ahead of Time', it takes more than a mere wish or an average living life. Its is a pathway that is filed with thorns and thistles reserved for those who could create that pathway.

Would be sharing some lessons as we progress.

Have a blessed day ahead!

Hello…

Your steps are ordered today!

Yesterday, I wrote briefly on a Principle of ATTRACTING HELP. I'ld love to bring yet another dimension to this.

Do you recall an update i made sometimes back of a girl whose parents refused training her and further told to either get a job or get married? As it were, after that update, one of my little girls put a call through requesting she be of HELP!

She's a student in her finals... She had been through real stuffs. She sponsors herself, pays her accommodation and she's really young! Seeing that update, she thinks she could help the 'victim' of my story...

Now that's not the issue. The issue here is that I wasn't aware of any of her challenges. She PURPOSELY kept it away from me. On hearing a story, really surprised I requested her account number and sent a sum almost immediately. I was HIGHLY impressed and challenged by her determination!

But here was a twist. As it were, i had persons who had called earlier for some financial support... My response to them truly was hold on. So many things needed my attention and my resources were limited. But here comes a girl, who NEVER asked, though still in need, she still sought to be of HELP... And here comes one who tried to manage his resources giving out freely and happily!

There are those who are VESSELS who cry day and night for a filling. They never see themselves giving. Their fate becomes stale when they've received to the brim.

Yet there are those who have made themselves CHANNELS. They understand they can be used to help others irrespective of their resources being limited. The mystery behind channels is that, there's always a FLOW and FRESHNESS of resources.

Heaven seeks to bless. It is great when you are positioned as a VESSEL to receive of the blessing, but it is GREATER when you position yourself as a CHANNEL to bless others. God just uses you as his instrument of abundance.

Can you remember what was said of Father Abe? I will BLESS YOU and you shall be a BLESSING.. Gen12:2

Position yourself as a BLESSING, just like my little girl, and you will naturally be BLESSED by God and men.

Be the answer prayer to someone this today!

Hello!

This week will be a great one.

Yesterday, I taught on something in Church I think maybe of benefit to someone if I shared "ATTRACTING HELP".

A good prayer, if not properly understood could be a source of limitation. While it is commonplace in our worship centers to pray for helpers, I personally think we would groom more DEPENDENT persons by that prayer than we would if it were to be changed.

Positioning yourself as a HELPER attracts help... Positioning oneself as needing help often repels help. Better put, men would WILLINGLY invest in things that shows great signs of succeeding.

Every obvious positive change in your lifestyle which includes communication, attitude, knowledge, dressing etc, no matter how small creates a compelling force that courts attention, and by extension, HELP!

Rather than wait for someone to jack up your success, within your limits create a pattern of progress... It won't be long!

On a final note, hard as it may seem: If you have to BEG for help, you don't need it!

Become useful to yourself within your resources... To him that has, more would be given.

This is one Principle of Help you must understand.

Have a great day ahead!

PA.
