"What is that in ur hand?"

One of d biggest mistakes we make is comparing ourselves with someone else n to conclude dat we don hv their particular talents.

Here's a hilarious story abt a couple of nuns who worked in a hsptal, who ran out of petrol while driving to work 1 mrng. A service station was nearby but they had no petrol container. Suddenly, one of them remembered a bedpan in d truck of their car. The petrol ws put in2 d pan n they carried it vry carefully back 2d car.

As d nuns were pouring d petrol frm d bedpan in2 d petrol tank, 2 men were driving by. Staring in disbelief, one said 2d other, "Now, Fred, dat's wat i call FAITH!" It appeared to be foolish. D trouble ws, those doubters just didnt 'knw d truth'. And were they surprised when those 2 nuns went roaring by them on d freeway!

D Bible says, "Without FAITH it IS impossible to PLEASE GOD" (Heb11:6 - NIV). It takes FAITH 2c walking sticks(Moses' rod) and bedpans as "d tools needed 2do d job" But when u giv God wat u've got, AMAZING things happen in ur life!
(when i ws seriously,critically sick in 2005 some where in Aug.,i ws immediately admitted in2 d hsptal.at dat time i didnt knw wat actually went wrong. i ws told dat my kidneys were bad and caused my BP 2shoot up real high.... i stayed in d hsptal "real sick" and weak....i ws even told dat i might hv 2do dialysis....then during one of those days there, i started talking to God n tell Him, i m in such a situation n i m surrendering evry problem 2 Him and when i did dat, AMAZINGLY......i started getting better medical results on my kidneys n my BP started 2slip downwards on d readings! Isnt dat AMAZING??? Well, dats our GOD,who is ALL ABLE and AWESOME! )

get OVER IT !

Here's wat i hv 4 2day:

Dont b paralysed by ur past. If God used Moses, He'll use u. Ev'yone goes thru adversity. The phrase to remember when things go wrong is: "GET OVER IT!"
Hv u been hurt? Get OVER IT! Hv u been betrayed? get OVER IT! Hv u failed?
Get OVER IT!

God is greater than the criticism you're getting,the giants you're facing, the
mountain you're climbing,the burdens you're carrying.

Look at d Bible record of men & women who chose 2 focus on d silver lining,
nt d dark cloud. Dis ppl didnt curse d darkness, they shone a lite & scattered it.
They chose d right attitude, an ATTITUDE OF FAITH!

Come on, stop hiding frm success bcoz u're afraid 2fail. FAILURE means u're
a LEARNER, NOT a loser. Stop fearing risk! TAKE GOD'S HAND, STEP OUT
AND FULFIL HIS PURPOSE FOR UR LIFE! LET GO AND LET GOD, BE GOD!
get OVER IT!

Pay Your Way

Wow......wat a reminder to all of us, Christians!

GIVE EVR'yONE wat you owe him/her - ROMANS 13:7 NIV

Here's the story : At Thnksgiving, a barber whose business ws prospering decided dat for d next week, he'd giv d 1st customer of d day a "free haircut" d 1st was a baker,next morning, he presented d barber with a dozen donuts. d 2nd day was a florist, who thnked him by leaving a dozen roses on his doorstep.d 3rd ws a pastor,Guess wat? d nxt morning,there were a dozen more preachers all waiting 4d free haircuts!

Do u expect a "free haircut"? if so, who's supposed 2pay d barber then? Problems arise when someone develops " a sense of entitilement". Those called to leadership in God's Kingdom should create a standard of excellence. They should be known for paying their bills and paying them on time. It is wrong to live beyond our means bcoz we want to present a certain image or set an example of success.We hurt God's work when we justify the purchase of things we know we cant pay for by calling it 'a step of faith' and then leave someone else holding the bag.

IF THERE IS NO $$$$ TO PAY FOR IT .......... GOD DIDNT ORDER IT !

Give everyone what you owe them............................

Scriptural Keys To Success In Life

Do everything written in it. Then you will be ...............successful - Joshua 1 : 8

Hav u ever wondered why God refers to His Word as "laws" ?
Law = to govern, guide and guard. Without order, then comes chaos and confusion.
Imagine living in a world where seven dys no longer makes 1 week and 2+2 does not make
4.
God established His laws for our good. When u disobey you SUFFER,when u honour u SUCCEED!
Furthermore, His laws are NOT ala-carte menu; you can't pick wat u like and leave d rest.

Therefore, if u wan 2 b successful in life, talk about, think regularly about and live your life
according to God's laws. WHY? BECAUSE........ ultimately your character is more important than your
career. Yr career is wat u do, your character is wat and who u are! Those who neglected to develop
their character rarely stay long up at the ladder......
absence of STRONG character eventually topples them...... WHY?BECAUSE......u cannot climb beyond
the limitations of your character! dats why........

JOHN MAXWELL writes :

TALENTED PEOPLE CHARACTER

SOMETIMES TEMPTED TO TAKE SHORTCUTS PREVENTS THAT
FEEL SUPERIOR AND EXPECT SPECIAL PRIVILEGES HELPS THEM TO KNOW BETTER
PRAISED FROM OTHERS SEE THEM BUILD BUILDS WAT'S INSIDE THEM
HAS POTENTIAL 2B DIFFERENCE MAKERS MAKES D DIFFERENCE IN THEM
A GIFT TO THE WORLD PROTECTS THAT GIFT


sO ......my dear frens........think of which u would go for in ur life....a person of talent or
a person of CHARACTER !




GRACE.....

oh goodness me....... talking abt GRACE.........

why is it so hard to be like JESUS?????????

the last few days.....i was actually been tested of my love for JESUS again......
goodness me...........................it was so difficult to do it esp.when u know dat u are
nt the one dat is wrong and u STILL got to give in and give the other cheek !

PRaise Be to GOD for i have gotten over the situation and i am changed and again
i have stepped up to another level of faith which i believe goes to show that INDEED....
the ways of God is truly....NARROW and the way to destruction is WIDE..........

I must say that to hold on to our Lord at times of trials and distress takes a lot of
love for HIM...... i really was tested......

PRAISE GOD i overcame........
