PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the goal for the  prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus - Philippians 3 : 13 - 14.
We should forget those things that are behind us as Apostle Paul said whether good or bad so that we can have the strength to press forward because God does not want us to remain in that past blessing. There is a different blessings lined up for us everyday therefore no matter how great the blessing might be, we should give thanks to God the giver and expect more from Him because more are yet to come so we should not  allow the weight of the past to weigh us down or deprive us from receiving the new blessings He has prepared for us.
It does not matter how great our sins might be, He said He will remember them no more so we should stop reminding Him of it. What He expect from us is to keep pressing forward everyday for a new blessing.
Lord, help us to be faithful to You no matter the level of blessing we receive from You in Jesus name.

1 JOHN 2 : 15

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone  
loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world - 1 John 2 : 15 - 16.









                                     




                                                                     

ECCLESIASTES 11 : 5

As you do not know what is the way of the wind or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

WORDS OF WISDOM

There is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks are different, our lanes are different & our durations are different. The only thing we have in common is the same umpire. For instance one person graduates at age 20 & struggles for another five years to get a job, another might graduate at age 25 & gets a job immediately. One may graduate and make 10,000 € a month, another might have dropped out out of school and slowly starts making 5,000 € a month. One can marry a virgin & wait for the next decade to have the blessings of children, another lady probably after having series of abortions in her past, becomes a mum almost immediately after marriage. A fellow becomes MD at 38 and dies at 56, another becomes MD at 55 and lives to 90, what a life.
Life is full of twists, turns, test, ups & downs and many more surprises & disappointments .
Life offers each one of us different opportunities in different places and at different times. Stop judging people and comparing yourself with others. Value your uniqueness and trust in God. At the end of the day, what matters most is where you stand with God.
