It feels really good to be privileged enough to see a new year and i am looking forward to making the most of it; i hope you feel the same way too?
For a very long time , i have pondered on sharing this very topic with you guys , as i constantly scanned through series of words , i have heard over the years, especially in times when i was down and presumably out. While it maybe impossible to keep tabs of every single word we have heard over the cause of our lives , we can all agree that certain words strike the chords of our hearts or "hit straight home " , or become Rhemas as some people would say.
Anyway , after combing through my little diary of wise words that have changed my life and impacted me positively , i decided to share just a few of them from preachers, everyday people, close friends and family. To encourage and motivate someone who might be reading this.
1. " It's not what i was , but what i should be; that's how Mercy sees me" - Anonymous
2. " When you find your purpose, you will quit struggling"
- Rev. Nkechi Anayo
3. " Even if God has not done it before, for your sake / my sake he will"
- Rev Chris Oyakhilome
4. " The fact that everything else around you is not moving, doesn't mean you should stop moving"
- Amsa Yaro (a former colleague)
5. " Learn to see life like cars on a highway, some are ahead, some are behind, some are in the middle and some have broken down by the way side, either waiting to be fixed or abandoned. Regardless of their position, if you drive carefully and cautiously , you will get to your destination. After all it is not a competition of who gets to their destination first"
- My Mum
6. " I am not saying you should date him or you shouldn't date him, i will just tell you one thing; choose your battles wisely, because there is no point choosing a fight you can't win"
- Emmanuel Garry (choosing the right relationship)
7. " Whatever you do all the time, is who you really are; be guided"
- Ken Iriogbe
8. " If you have to let it go, then cry it out in Praise"
-Frank Edwards
9. "Whatever you think and believe, you can achieve. All you need to do, is put GOD first"
- Bryan Okwara ( former Mr. Nigeria)
10. " Until you understand the concept of times and seasons, you will keep struggling in someone-else season"
- Pastor Goodheart Ekwueme
Alright people i will stop here for today, and will definitely bring more words from my little diary . Just for the records , the Bible is my ultimate book of life transforming and soul uplifting words.
What are those phrases that have held you up and kept you going over the years? Keep them close to your heart and draw strength from them in this new year; while paying attention to new rhemas that will be sent your way, either through a Sunday service , a family /friends get together, a magazine, a talk show , telephone conversation, mentoring/motivational program e.t.c . You may want to write them down.
They may not come in handy at first, but trust me, they will eventually.
Finally one last phrase that got me laughing heartily:
" I know what God's favorite food is, Barbecue! ( Burnt offerings)"
- Pastor Michelle McKinney Hammond
Until we see again through this blog , keep the faith and tell your self , it can only get better!!!
Lots of Love
