GIVE UP! FOR EXCELLENCE!

There is what to give up or loose to excel. This makes sure that you do not just talk about excellence but you live it. This is the will of God for us His children. When we give up somethings we leave stagnation and move forward. What we ought to be as the church has not been attained yet, we need this giving up. Give up our small visions, goals small thoughts etc, and take up Gods visions, goals and thoughts for our lives. This causes us to think of good things happening to us not evil (Jeremiah 29:11).

This change of thought causes God to make sure good things happen to us (Ephesians 3:20). God has the ability to do good things but you have to think it for God to cause it to work towards you.

The condition for Abrahams blessing was tied to his departure from His own to Gods own way.

"Now the Lord had said to Abram: Get out of your country, from your family and from your fathers havoc, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nations; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Genesis 12:1-3).

Abraham excelled when he did depart from his own. His own gave him a particular mentality or what disagreed with God. For God to change his mentality and excel him, he had to move to a place which only God knew.

Even though God desired excellence for Abraham, He had to leave him to chose to give up his country, people, and his house. God instructed Isaiah to change his walk so that to excel in his assignment; we are demanded to do the giving up. (Isaiah 8:11-13).

It's time to loose the little you have to attain to the great that God has for you (I Kings 17:8-16). Exchange what you have with what God has, for your advantage. This is your turn for excellence!

The greatest enemy of your excellence is yourself. When you hold the old, you create no room for the new. The old and the new are never in agreement.

Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins and both are preserved. And no one having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says; the old is better" (Luke 5:36-39)

Although the proverb 'Old is gold'; is time, it does not certify that the old way of doing things should be clanged on forever, Jesus came and informed the Samaritan women on the change in the activities of worship (John 4:21 23). There is a price tag for every worthwhile achievement of excellence. Ask yourself how much are willing to pay in terms of hard work; patience etc.

You must realize that it does not just happen! it is made to happen, you have to put yourself under pressure to produce it, its not accidental! No one stumbles in to it ! No!

When the price is paid, then you are assured to excel in any area; it is not restricted to age, sex, race or occupation you can excel in anything you do, anywhere. There must be a getting out to get in. You must get out of your own to get into Gods own.

You cannot find God by your own thinking, but by 'loosing yourself'. Since today is the first day of the rest of your life, transform your life by making a choice to give up your own way for excellence. The highest! and the best!, this must be the goal of every child of God.

"And this way, that you have may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellence, that you may be sincere and without of sense till the day of Christ" (Philippians 1: 9 10)

 

There is what must happen to you, to be able to approve excellent things. Know the excellent things and you will be able to approve them.

The best persons you know how to be in your personal life and occupation, are the ones you should give up your small ambitions to attain to.

This is not for people who think they have arrived; those who live as if they do not need any improvement. Abraham agreed with the command to change his status.

It is our turn to change our own at His command. Be angry with your own mediocrity and do something constructive to get out for your due life. Anger is Gods gift to man to move him from his mediocrity to excellence (...be angry and sin not...Eph4:26).

Do not wait for the seven waves of success to carry you to success, you have to work your way to success. Thanks. Be all you can be and life will respect and answer to you! Amen.

Pastor Bernard Ingozi Makokha.

 


THE SUCCESSFULL SHEEP!

The pursuit after purpose is secondary to the pursuit after God. Infact, fulfilling purpose should be as a consequence of seeking after God. Jesus, who we are supposed to imitate, fulfilled His purpose because of a very close walk with the Father. We all know that He almost aborted save for His walk with God Lk.22:41-42.

Fulfilling purpose will not always be a smooth, straight walk. Once in a while God will allow us to "veer off the track" in order for Him to deal with us. God will use different methods depending on what He wants to exercise in you. It is vital to know that each individual is a pioneer because we have unique callings and destines. Though the pioneers way is not smooth, he still has to be the first to "stir his own water."PSALM 23

This chapter talks of how a sheeps relationship with its shepherd determines the sheeps productivity hence a successful purpose fulfillment. It is symbolic to our relationship with God because we are the sheep of His pasture. From the first verse, we note that the sheeps lacking is not dependent on purpose (i.e. providing milk, wool and mutton) but on relationship (i.e. following the shepherd). The best resources (i.e. green pastures and water) the sheep requires to effectively fulfill purpose is only obtained as it follows the shepherd. The only person that knows the safest route is the shepherd so hes the only one to be followed. Even the most experienced sheep will still have to follow the shepherd.

If the sheep finds itself (fortunately or unfortunately) in the dark valley, its not because the sheep is disobedient but its because of the sheeps commitment to follow the shepherd. You will notice that while in the green pastures and by still waters the sheep didnt know anything about fear of evil or anything about comfort. This reminds one of the homosapien who will learn nothing unless he is pushed from his comfort zone. It is almost impossible for most of us to recognize God or His presence when all is well. I also believe that affliction is the only way the sheep could learn comfort.

After that school of affliction, the sheep is better equipped to face its enemies (i.e sickness, carnivores and thieves). The shepherd knows that anxiety reduces the sheeps yield so he ensures that even when the enemies attack the sheep is at rest of course on a table doing nothing but feasting. After the successful completion of that school the sheep yield increases (symbolic for a greater impact due to the new level of the anointing). Focusing more on our purpose at the expense of our walk with God will leave us with sharpened gifts and better skills but with no anointing. If we have ever dreamt of changing lives and the world at large, then we have no option but to seek more of the anointing. THE ANOINTING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!

Stay blessed.  Bro Benson Xavier

THE BASTARD GENERATION!

In the past I used to think that bastard was some kind of a big insult. But later I came to realize that a bastard is simply a son without a father, an illegitimate child or if he/she has a father then he (the father ) is not playing his role as a father in terms of provision, correction, direction and raising up the child. The child therefore has no one to motivate, direct, receive some fatherly impartation or look up to , he/she only has someone to look away from!

There is nothing as painful and agitating as having a father who has never played his role as a legal father in ones life. Our society is full of bastards a fatherless society. More so even in the church we have bastards. People that have never enjoyed the privilege of being raised up spiritually. They dont have a mentor to motivate, direct and correct them in the right way. But let me say that the fact that someone is a bastard doesnt make him/her spiritually incorrect.

Bastards are and can be useful. I have seen it many times in the scriptures in what I call the silent language of God, God raising bastards and using them in such a greater way than even the so called mentored. Even now, in our times, He is majoring on the bastards.

Them that have been trodden down, Looked down upon and cast away by the society, God has a major agenda to lift them from the guttermost to the upper most.

Lets look at one bastard in the Bible in the book of Judges 11:1-6

Now Jephtha, the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour and he was the son of a harlot: and Gilead begat Jepthah. AndGileads wife bare him sons and his wifes sons grew up, and they thwest out Jephthah and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our fathers house: for thou are the son of a strangewoman. Then Jephthah fled from his breathren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went with him. And it came to pass in the process of time the children of Amon made war against Israel. And it was so that when we children, made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob: and said unto Jephthah, come and be our captain that we may fight the children of Amon.

Despite Jephthah being a bastard, he was a mighty man of valour. He was hated, cast away by his brethren and dismissed as a worthless good for nothing fellow. They didnt see the positive side of him, they only saw they negative side of his life. But something happened to the bastard in the process of time.

Let me quickly drive this to you friend, all you need is a process of time. Oh yes! Not a sudden thing but a function of a process of time. A time when you are locked from the rest of the world, when they say things like, "Your messages are boring" , "You dont know how to sing, your voice is not even in the keyboard." All you need is a process of time.

At this time, capitalize on the great hindrance in your life and it will become your greatest asset. When the Amonites gathered against Israelites, the elders ran back to fetch Jephthah and said , "Come be our captain that we may fight the children of Amon." I see those who threw you out coming to beg for your assistance. What God has placed in you is not subject to circumstances and situations. Oh yes! No matter what Jephthah went through, it didnt change his identity ( a mighty man of valour). Your value is in you! Not around you!.

The Big question is; How do you look at yourself? Do you look at yourself as a good for nothing, unfortunate bastard? You are your greatest enemy! You must not accept that breakdown. Look up! Refuse to be trodden down. Say to the prevailing circumstances, " I know my redeemer lives. " All you need to go through is the process of time. When you reach your end, God comes and picks up from there! I see Him come for you!

The story lets us know that Jephthah went and fought the Amonites and defeated them. I see you becoming a celebration in Jesus Name! As much as people look down upon you, let them know that you have a Father who is always looking after you. He is the Father to fatherless He will stand for you. Your Father in heaven is more than a thousand of earthly fathers. Dont mess up your destiny for lack of a Father! Embrace your heavenly Father and you will know your destiny is sure.Go for it is in Jesus Mighty Name! "

             "Whats Up?"

"Hi! Whats up? " " Whats up? " Is the uniform salutation of my genaration. No one seems to know whats up, and all are asking the same question to each other.Well, who will give the answer? Where is the Answer to this alarming, heartfelt, question of my genaration?

The perpetual outcry of " whats up?" is due to no satisfactory answer. Well, someone said the response to whats up is "Jesus is up". Okay, that could be true, but how come the outcry continues?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I choose to settle this matter once and for all.The cancer to our genaration is the absence of mentor institutions. Not that they dont exist but they are only not functional. Father, Mother, Son and daughter all ask " whats up?" Why?

Is it because life was meant to be so unpredictable or what? Did God plan that we live a life wondering what the future holds for us? Does the God they say loves us delight in us guessing what will become of us tomorrow? Well I dont think so.

But I know this one thing,our genaration lacks mentors who lay down their lives to raise up others after them. All we have are task masters, who do all they can to"use us" get where they are going and nothing to get us where we are going.

As a matter of fact they do everything to keep us from knowing where we are going.

They point us to Jesus who they themselves have failed to relate to and so were left more confused than when we went to ask the question! Who will save this genaration from this mess?

John the apostle said "...the things we have heard, seen,looked upon and hundled we give to you". That one simply says they were not experimenting. They gave what they knew . This I believe is what our generation lacks.

We have leaders but all they say is "do as I say not as I do!" They are not mentors but task masters!.

They are up there not by working their way up but guessing it. They have no point of reference to teach their children. They are up but dont know how! So, they are not sure of themselves nor their future.

How abaut their children? They cant be any better.

We are a fatherless genaration and our only hope lies in fathering ourselves.

"What are you saying?" You ask. Well hold on and reason with me.Who among our leaders can point to himself as an example to us? They all tell us what to do, but dont do.

So only you and I have to take the responsibility to straighten this matter once and for all.

Life is only colourful when you determine where you are going not leaving it to fate. Dont take life as it comes! Give it direction!.

Authentic leadership is not the one pointing but one that takes lead. We the fatherless have to determine that our children will not find this mess here.

Lets give life a meaning by choosing what is right over what is wrong,no matter how long the the wrong has prevailed!.

I choose to be an example to my genaration. I choose to be a point of reference to my juniors. That they may say I observed him and found my direction in life. I associated with him and I profited in life.

Lets come to an understanding that God delights in those who find from Him what they must do in order to succeed and purpose to do it.

God never said life should be uncertain as they have taught! No! He says..... I am the LORD, I declare the end from the beginning!. It is time we redefined our life.

Well, lets nail the matter right between the eyes. Jesus told Peter..."follow me and I will make you....", Paul speaking to the Corthians he said "follow me as I follow Christ" .

To the Phillipians He said," immitate me as I immitate Christ." And He told the Thessolonians," the same way you"ve seen me live among you, Live! "

Now my beloved, where is this in our present genaration? Who among our leaders takes the audesty to declare to the congrigation..." follow me as I follow Christ" ? Could it be that they are not following Him? May be who knows?

Now please get me right, the issue is not to blame or condemn anyone, but we have to get the answer to our question- "whats up?" God said " ...believe the Lord your God and you shall be established, believe His PROPHETS and you shall prosper".

Prophets here I believe means our Human physical leaders.And since Prophets were for direction then it goes without saying that every genaration is groomed by its leaders.

So our piercing question " whats up?" is hetitary of the previous genarations that never found the answer and so passed it over, and if we will not get the answer now, we may also pass it over to the next genaration.

But I refuse to pass over the question and rather the answer.

The answer to our statling question is simply acceptance of responsibility.Our genaration blames everybody for the mess except themselves.

And this is not new but as old as Adam and Eve in Eden. Adam said "the woman you gave me, gave me the fruit." The woman said "the serpent".

So all go arround blaming others for the problems but fail to understand that blaming one another is not the solution. It is accepting responsibility for the mess and seek help.

Youngman, the father you are blaming for not directing you was never directed, now what do you want him to do?He has done his best by sending you to school in the hope that you will find the answer there but unfortunately you ve come back still with the question." Whats up?"

Now you ask what will I do? Listen, this is exactly what you will do.One, accept your present state and then seek the way out without trying to cover it up by blaming others.Say to yourself, "I have blundered yes, but God is there a chance for me?"

Secondly, Ask God to show who to be your mentor. He may not be a hero yet but he is on his way there. Follow him/her!

Thirdly, Determine to learn the Godly principles that make life bouyance! And I guarantee you! As long as you follow your mentor and He keeps on following Christ, your success in life is unlimited.You are a born Star. You are born a winner! Work it out, It will come true. In Jesus Name!

The WORD POWER FORCE! 0011

THE SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE! There is a powerful statement that God issues in Zech 4:6 .Not by Mighty nor by power but by my spirit saith the LORD of hosts This brings us to the realization that nothing goes on successfully without the involvement of the Spirit of God. This is true with excellence.

 Behind all excellence in life is the Spirit of God whose name alone is excellence (Ps 148:13). To excel in life you need a baptism in the spirit of excellent.

". He that hath knowledge spaketh his words and a man of understanding is of an EXCELLENT SPIRIT." (Pro 17:27).

There is an excellent spirit that causes men to make it in life. This enhances ones understanding to enable correct judgment of matters in life. If you will know how to tackle the obstacles of life then nothing will stop your going forward. Excellence is by the spirit of excellence!

" Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an EXCELLENT SPIRIT was in him; and the King thought to set him over the whole realm." Dan 6:3.

The distinction between those who lead while others follow is in the spirit of excellence upon them. The degree of excellence you display is proportional to the spirit of excellence you appropriate.

Excellence will always pick you out of the crowd. No matter how many contest against you, the spirit of excellence upon you will make your outstanding than the rest! Its the excellent spirit that gave Daniel preeminence in exile while in Babylon. You can make it anywhere on earth with the excellent spirit."They father, made master of the magicians, astrologers and sooth sayers; for as much as an excellent spirit, and knowledge and understanding, interpreting of dreams and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were in the same Daniel. (Dan 5:11-12).

Its the excellent spirit in Daniel that gives him the excellence he enjoys. No matter what case is brought to you, you have an answer to it by the spirit of excellence.

The Holy Spirit you received was not just to get you speak in tongues but cause you to excel. Jesus said He will lead you in all truth. Pay attention to the spirit in your inside and you will discover that there is nothing impossible. You can dissolve all things by the spirit of God. You will excel this time! Can we find such a one, as this is a man in whom the spirit of God is? for as much as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art (Gen 41:37-43)

The man Joseph in a foreign land is made ruler over all through the spirit of God in Him. The spirit of excellent will excel anywhere! There is no time when the world needs answers to hard sentences like now, but the question is, where is the Joseph of this generations? The church should give answers to the economic, political and social predicaments. The purpose of the church is not to hold services but to give answers to the problems that people are facing.

We must be a link to the picking of the solution from God and help our nations. The spirit of God in you has all the answers but how often do you contact Him?

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him And He shall not judge after the sight of this eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears: but with equity for the meek of the earth and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked (Isa 11:1-5).

Its the Spirit of the LORD that excelled His ministry! Until the spirit it came upon Jesus He was normal like the rest. His judgment is different because He has a different spirit. He cheaply handled the wicked and all opposition by the wisdom - spirit of his mouth.

 His breath had power to excel anywhere! What will happen if every believers breath will be that? This is your time. Everyone is entitled to his opinion but those of wisdom cant fail to be noticed. (Lk 7:33-35) Let the spirit of the only wise God in you distinguish you among many. Wisdom excellent folly as light excelleth darkness (Ecc 2:13).

This is the time to beat the folly of this world hands down by the display of the excellent spirit of God upon us. You shall excel in every area of your life! Receive ye the spirit of excellence in Jesus Precious Name! Till next time. I am Your Friend, Pastor Bernard Ingozi Makokha

 

The WORD POWER FORCE! 0010

The Lord takes pleasure in your excelling and succeeding.  Its Gods greatest desire that you make it in life.  No matter what religion says, Gods own word proves that He ordained you for excellence.

 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I WILL MAKE THEE ETERNAL EXCELLENCY, a joy of many generations (Isa 60:15). 

 It's true that being born again has been despised and looked down upon by many, God still says He will turn it around to cause it to be the most excellent thing in life.  His will is to make you an Excellency for eternity regardless of what your past has been.  That will

 Erase every reproach from your life and make you a centre of attraction.  The church will no longer be relegated to a corner but it shall be the most desirable force by all.  Its time to excel! The salvation package is not only for forgiveness of sin and going to heaven but a restoration force to the fulfillment of Gods greatest desire for you regardless of ones background.   

 

Your previous fallen state is well known to God but He sends Jesus to die and rescue you so that you excel.

 

Hath quickened us together with Christ and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus... (Eph 2:1-9).

 Salvation is being picked from your lowest and caused to sit in the highest place.  Therefore excellence is what you get into when you get sacked.  You are picked from nothing and you are made the Excellency of God.

Once you were not a people (at all), but now you are Gods people. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Pet 2: 10,9).

 Being saved upgrades you and your status to the place of Gods delight for you.  Whether you were a nothing before, your coming to Christ ushers you into Excellency, Marvelous living.  You are chosen to excel for God delights in you.  (Isa 62:1-5) For your sake God will not rest until you excel.  The purposes of your salvation will be vivid.  Its over with mediocrity come to the excellence side.

 Vs 4 Thou shall no more be termed Forsaken, neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate for the LORD delights in thee, and thy land shall be honorable. Vs 3  Thou shall be a crown of glory (Excellence) in the hand of the LORD and a royal  Diadem in the hand of thy God

 You are a crown of excellence! And that you shall be or else God will not rest.  Enough of lagging behind, your rightful place in the front is ready! Go for it.  You are destined for excellence and what the devil does against it is a mere waste of time!  The unfailing God has vowed not to rest nor hold His peace until you become an Eternal Excellency

Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; according as he hath CHOSEN us in Him before the foundation of the world that we should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLAME before Him in love having predestinated us According to the good pleasure of His WILL according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will, that we SHOULD be to the praise of His GLORY, who first trusted in Christ.  

(Eph 1: 3-6, 11,12).

Your excellence was a concluded thing before the foundation of the earth and God is working all things to the realization of this very purpose.  You are set apart in Christ to excel for that is the will of God.  You are not in the will of God without embracing excellence!  The foundations of the world are intact to receive your excellence in all areas of life; your life, ministry, marriage, family and business shall excel in Jesus Name!  This time you will see the long awaited excellence. It will be clear whom your savior & redeemer is.  Your present status will be the lowest you will ever be in all your life!  All things about you are changing for the better!  What saw you yesterday, as brass wont believe when you show up as gold!  You are excelling!

 The salvation you got in Christ will be the defense and praise will never cease from you.  Your deviling will be peace that no violence will be heard again in your life! You cease to operate as usual with seasons, but you shall excel all the time.  Your light will never go off.  Your mourning is ended with this excellence.  The little thing you do shall be a thousand and the small one will be a strong nation (Isa 66:16-22).  This is your own time; dont let anything explain you out! You shall excel even if all are mediocre around you, nothing shall stop you in Jesus Mighty name!

Thanks again for staying on line.  The Lord richly blesses you.

Thanks Till next Time. Think on these! "Failure only becomes failure when you refuse to go back to where you failed and succeed!"

I am Pastor Bernard Ingozi Makokha.

 

The WORD POWER FORCE! 009

Well being whole doesnt make you an independent Island but enhances your capacity to inter-relate securely hence multiply your strength. The Bible declares two are better than one for they have a good reward for their labor! ( Eccl4:9-12).

There is undeniable betterment in inter-dependence when well actualized. Despite the fact that the Bible backs the being two for increase, the two is not two as in two. It s one in two. (Amos3: 3) Asks, "How can two walk together except they agree?" Until one is gotten in two, the betterment is not yet in their relationship. A house divided against itself, cannot stand and so if two cannot be one and one be one (whole) nothing can really be established.

Being divided against yourself, will hinder your progress, just as being divided against your partner in whatever capacity i.e. spouse, business, family etc. But when one is made out of two or more nothing is strong enough to stop it.

Matt 18: 19-20 the Lord Jesus unveils the greatest truth ever. He says if two can push and become one, even heaven cant stop them. There is unchallengeable power in one that even the holy trinity- God the Father, The son and the Holy Spirit cant do without it. Jesus said, Just as they are one, we should be one to make it. (Jn17: 21.)

In Gen11:1-6, God Himself makes a confession that what one in the many starts to do, cant be stopped without dividing them. Here you can discover that you need to be one and find another who is one and if two of you be one, ( not necessarily in marriage) whatever you purpose to do, in accordance with the will of God, can never be stopped by no devil!

Friend, can you see now? Your life is a power dynamo that is about to explode if well channeled. You are indeed for signs and for wonders! You are what God was looking for when He made you! Dont make a mistake about it! You are the man for the Job! Get up! Be all you were created to be! Go forth! You will win in Jesus Name!

Ones again is nice to meet you here. The LORD richly bless you and keep you. Please forget not to get back to me and tell me how you find the program. I am waiting!!!

This is Your Friend,

Pastor BERNARD INGOZI MAKOKHA.

" Surely, may goodness and mercy follow, you all the days of your life and May you dwell in House of the LORD forever. AMEN."

 

 

 

Starting right is very parramount but not final because it will not deliver required results without working it to the end. That you started the journey well doesn't fulfill, but going all the way does it. God would have us embrace the fact that he delights in finishers and not just starters.

When you know where you came from then you can tell where you are going because the factor that made you, had what you were to be and do. Well, we all came from God who proves to be the creator of all things. Now if we came from Him then it is only makes senseble to find
out from Him why we exist!

Where do I find Him to ask Him? Good question! I will answer you right away. He is more available to hear you any time, any where! at any moment as long as you dial the correct number. He has said the only way to reach Him is through His son Jesus Christ so for us to get to Him we must pass through the channel of Jesus.

Where is this Jesus? Well He is closer to you than the sceen you are watching right now! How do I get to Him? Just call Him with  believe that He IS HEARING YOU, And when you have got his attention, just state your case of you being taken to the Father.

This I guarantee you it will save you all your religious struggles of trying to catch God by your good works. Only Him is good! Jesus put that very clear therefore no matter how nice a person you may be, your degree of goodness is still wanting until it is of Him who is the only GOOD GOD!

You have to utterly depend to Him for any good that comes from you towards others.You are special to Him more than anything in this world! I bet you do! He loves you so much that He could dare sacrifice His son in faith that you will believe in Him and be saved even before you were born!

What a great and loving God He is. This is true and sure than all that you know. I am a witness to these in every way. I never knew what is to be loved till I came to Him who loved me with no conditions. All men will love you as long as you do and be what they want you to! But our God loves in faith that you can make it regardless of your present status!

May I guarantee you that His love for you is purely an action not a reaction. He knows your inability to keep at the pace of His expectation so He decided to love you for himself and your welfare. He seeks only your good.

All His thoughts toward you are good and not evil. His determination is for you to make it. So cheerup God is for you and not against ou. Come to him just as you are and He will take care of all your fears. I am sure
that He longs and eagerely waits for your coming.

Take rest in Him that loves you to the end. The scripture says that he loved his own to the very end. You are part of that group that is loved. The LORD Bless and keep you. Till next time.

I am Your Friend,

Pastor Bernard Ingozi Makokha.

'WHY SIT HERE UNTIL WE DIE!('2kINGS 7:1-7)
 
Today's life has more than can be taken especally when You don't know what to do or where to turn to. There are issues facing us that we find ourselves caged in and with no promising way out.

Now most of the time we tend to cave in and accept it as the way it's and do nothing about it.

Well today God has aquestion 'why sit you here till you die?' Are you okay to be what you are and have nothing to add to your life?

What'll we say you are if your funeral was today? Now look here, God is not through with you yet! You don't have to die like that!

You can do something about it.In our text the the four lepers had it with there situation and chose to act for their well being! That is what God send me to pass to you that you can change you current status!

What you fear is already afraid of you just rise up and confront it! The matter you are thinking is over God says it is not over yet! You can still get control of all you thought you lost.

Get up Now and you will realise the devil is afraid of you! that is why he is sendind rumous everywhere to scare you a way lest you come and discover his fears.

If you will only rise from within, the mat that has caged you all this years will lt you go!

In John5:1-9 there is a man who had let the mat carry him for 38 years but when Jesus came along he pointed to the him that he has power to carry the mat. He said 'rise up pick the mat and go!;

I say to you in the Name of Jesus 'rise up out of your self pity and fears & go for you destiny! the enemy is afraid of you already! Come on! You don't have to die like that!

The woman with the issue of blood(Mark5:25) refused to succum to her fears and did what she heard of Jesus! 'If I may but touch His garment, I shall be Alright' she said, She went in press and collected her miracle! The plague of 12years left her alone because she did her best to obligate God to do the rest!

My friend, this is your on time! Like Bartimious(Mark10:46-52) you must not let Jesus pass before attending to you!

Refuse to let life be the way it comes! make it come the way God has said it should be!

The prodigal son(Luke15:1-18) was lured by the devil out of his home. The devil dealt with him so severely that he couln't believe he was the one. But the bible says he came to himself and said ' I'll rise and go home!' Well notice that the devil that lured him couldn't stop him!

Nothing is strong enuogh to stop you! You can make it. You don't have to die! like you Are!

Some one said the greatest room in the world is the
room of improvememt! You can do it! Go for your
business! Ministry! Career! You Destiny is set! You
are the man for the job! In Jesus Name! Amen.
Thanks alot for being on line. God richly Bless you!

Keys To Divine Encounters!

Every member of the body of Christ needs divine encounters in life or else his/her salvation will loose colour. Your divine experiences with God is not a one time encounter but a day today need for every believer that requires to live victoriously. Those who have been with God are sound than all who just talk about Him!

.they were ignorant and unlearned but they took notice they had been with Jesus.Act4:13.

Their being with Jesus made them bold to speak out for Him despite the threats. Divine encounter is not just an optional thing for the blessed few, but for all who call on the Name of the Lord.

A locked door is not accessible by the "Keyless"! No matter how spiritual you may seem to be, without the key the door will still mock you! There are keys to divine encounters. You dont encounter the divine just because you are saved or born again, there are keys to get hold of to find free entry into the encounters you so much need.1.You need to get alone.

and Jacob was left alone..(Gen32:24)

 Separating yourself to be with God will enhance your encounters with Him. There is need for you to find time alone with God to sort your life out. The majority of the people who had encounters with God in history and scripture had one thing in common.They were alone then the encounter occurred.

As long as Jacob was crowded with the family he couldnt encounter the man.It was until he let them go and was left alone that the man showed up. Moses was alone and God spoke to him (Ex.19:24) Joshua was alone and the captain of the host of heaven revealed himself (Josh.5:13-15) Samuel was alone in the temple and he had his encounter.(1sam.3:3-12)

Paul the apostle had his encounters of deep revelations in Arabia while alone(Gal.1:16-18). For God to move you from one level to another He first gets you alone. Get to a place where sympathizers and discouragers cant reach you and you will find God, you need a separation to encounter the divine (Pro.18:1) those with no separate life with God cant have supernatural encounter. Until you embrace separateness to God you have no access to divine encounters.2.Prayer.

Getting alone with God is not enough in itself,it has to be coupled with prayer.You need to voice out to God your need for an encounter.Jabeez in 1chro.4:9-10 had his limitations that demanded an encounter. He prayed his desire out and God granted him.Notice he had to pray. Prayerlessness can never have divine encounters, only the prayerful.Zechariah in Luke 1:8-12 while he prayed Angel Gabriel appeared to him.His prayer provoked the encounter he had.Your issues has answers always in the divine but it is prayer that brings the encounter. At baptism, Jesus prayed and the heavens opened.Luke3:21

Also at transfiguration he prayed to have the encounter he had Luke9: 28.The Apostles and the early church believers gave themselves to prayer for divine encounter. Act 1:14,2:1,4:23-31.Divine encounters answers to prayer and not just desires. it is much prayer for greater divine encounters. 3.Raise a standard for yourself

lt is your expectation and desire that God meets. You need to define the quality of encounter you require and go for it.Have a reason why you want an encounter, then God will be obligated to fulfil it,you must leave the land of anything" to specifics. Bartemaus (Luke 18:38) got tired of his status so he determined to change it. On understanding that his situation cant change with his day to day sympathizers he went for a divine encounter.

He refused life as usual to live better.You must refuse to accept any longer shame reproach and mediocrity.You must decide not to tolerate them any longer and refuse any excuse and explanation to be a failure to move from where you are and where you ought to be. Until what you desire is beyond human help it cant attract divine encounter,you will encounter God this time. 4. Desire what you aspire to become.

You need to make a decision to arrive at greatness before you see it manifest.Your prayers are driven by what you aspire to become. When you know that only God can give you what you desire you will surely go to him. Whatever you desire when you pray (Mark.11:2-4) the more you desire the more you go to prayer and heavens attention cant be denied you. Until Moses desired to see what the bush had God was silent 9Ex.3:1) his desire brought the encounter he had. What are your desires? How much do you really desire them? Until they are strong enough to get you call on Him that is able to fulfil them; they are not desires yet.

5.. Consecration.There is no divine encounter without consecration, God has no problem appearing to you except for the sin that stands between you and Him (Isiah.59:1). Before Israel met God, the prerequisite was they sanctified themselves (Ex.19:9). No supernatural encounter without purging oneself no matter how prayerful you are. Sin in ones life is a great hindrance in effective praying.

The effective prayer is that of a righteous man (James 5:16). Departure from sin is necessary for divine service (2 Tim.2:19-21). When God pinpoints something in your life it only causes you harm when you ignore it. (Pro.28:13). It is with all vehement removing all ungodliness to keep Gods standards that will definitely usher you into eternal divine encounters.6. Being generous.

An open heart to entertain others with your possessions attracts divine encounters. Abrahams heart to give brought a supernatural encounter that terminated the barrenness of over ninety years (Gen.18:1-12). He treated strangers out of the goodness of his heart to ensure their welfare. Not knowing that the Lord himself was among them. Liberality will get you far where nothing else can.

In (Act 10:1-3), we see Cornelius a very generous man visited by an angel, that is divine encounter. A liberal soul shall always be made fat. Share what you have with others. Dont hold what you have as though it is all to be possessed. A life that goes out to attend to the need of others can never be void of divine encounters. Thanks again for staying on line. Till next time may the Lord richly bless you.Pastor Bernard Ingozi.

The Littleness of The Devil!

......rule thou in the midst of thy enemies!...........Ps 110:2

This is the hour for believers in Christ Jesus to rule over the affairs of life on the earth by the divine principles. God has issued a command to rule in the midst of our enemies.

It may be stupid to go out for battle without first weighing the strength and the weakness of your enemy against what you have against them.Our God is not stupid to command us to rule in the midst of our enemies when He has not loaded us with superior weapons over the enemy.

Well the only scripturally acknowledged enemy of the church is Satan, the Devil that old serpent.All the rest are nothing but different manifestations which mast be fought equally.(1Pet5:8).

Now please I urge you to open up your heart to receive the truth about yopur enemy.Satan is not who he has revealed himself to be today.He is not who youve been told to be.

Here is the truth, the devil is under your rulership as a believer in Christ and you are not under his. The devil is nothing but a former great angel. He is fallen. Isa14:12.

He was thrown out of heaven, therefore he is nothing but a cast down enemy who has suffered defeat!. Rev12:7-9.

The devil was beaten and thrown out of heaven with all his batallion.He was humiliated plus his army and cast out as fast as lightening.Lk12:18.

The devil is already made your footstool, he is not your equal! This is the truth ladies and gentlemen; the devil is not your problem. Rom16:20.

Satan is not more powerful than we are as believers in Christ even as many Christians believe him to be. He is a liar! How can you believe anything he says to you?

The devil has no pwer over you! The bible teaches that you have more power than the devil! Hes under your feet! You are not his equal! He is under you to receive instructions from you.

Even in the natural instructions never flow from below to above! No! See what Got says Eph4:27. You are superior over the devil! Where you give him is where he occupies.

The reason why the so called believers are still running away from the devil is because they have given him that postion which is not his. And him being the greatest opportunist he grabs it and runs with it.

This is the truth. Satan is not to determine what happens but you are to determine. He is not to give orders but to receive orders from you! He stays where you put him!

Eph 2:4-6. The enemy and all his cohorts are far below, you are far above. God has promised to bruise the enemy who is under your feet.

Now God has raised you up with Christ and you are saeted with Him far above all the forces of darkness Satan included.

You as a believer in Christ you are above every wickedness, enchantment, divination and all that hell can manufacture against you. All these are under your feet.

By the election of grace and the lifting power of redemption, all things are under your feet! Is only foolishness to run away from an enemy you have taken captive. What reason do you have live in the fear of satan?

The devil remains powerless and helpless until you give him room. When you keep chocking the devil he is left with no choice but to bow.

This is the only enemy you have and now he is under your control. Now tell me what is your problem? There is no more qualification you need to deal with the devil than being in Christ.

Through out the stay of Jesus Christ here on earth, He never had a discussion with satan! Never!

He controlled the affairs of His kingdom and satan was never a subject of discussion in both His private and public meetings.

If satan was who the so called Christians have portrayed him to be, Jesus would have shown us. You are above every wicked force of this world. Eph1:20,21.

The man of God John Avanzin said" when you kick a dead dog, the movement it makes is as aresult of the force you exerted in its direction." The devil is nothing but a defeated foe.

You dont beg the devil, you command him! It is time you displayed your true nature! You are not seved to be pitied, but to be envied! Don'tappeal or beg!

All things are now under your feet by the lifting power of redemption.This is not of your making but of what Christ has done for you. The lifting power of His grace.You dont owe any devil any apology! It is time to take your stand.

You pass instructions and every devil must obey.God wont bruise him until you fix him where he belongs under your feet. You are made of real power stuff! What you say matters!

You are now in the heavenly places where the devil has no say at all. New birth translates you to from the realm of satan into the heavenly realm where satan is defeated forever. Col1:13

Where you are now the devil has no right to prevail ! Only the unsaved are under the domain of satan! Those who dwell in heavenly are out of satans reach!

You dwell in the heavenly and satan will leave you alone.Rev12:12. Youve got an answer to all that satan can offer. You are eternally free from his reach.He may deceive the whole world, but you are not the whole world! Are you?

In Jn14:30,. The devil had his ministry of to and fro but never put nothing on Christ. He wont put on your own! The devil is not a god over you!

He was the god of this world until Jesus came and fixed him then took "all power" from him. Lk11:20-23. The devil is dealt with.that is why he is "castable" Mk16:17-18.

He is stripped and throughly destroyed. Col2:14-15. He is spoilt! He was publically destroyed.1Jn3:8,Jn4:34. Jesus came on earth for this mission to deal with satan and the truth is he did.Heb 2:14,15.

The devil is finished. Finish him everywhere you go! God has ordained you to trouble the devil, not the devil to trouble you! As Jesus messed up the devil, so has He sent you to mess him up.Jn20:21.

Jesus was never sent to be under the mercy of the devil and you are not! Take this, you are stronger than the devil!

You can subdue any devil anywhere! A devil that couldnt stand Jesus will not stand you any more! Your reign over satan is hereby established forever. No force from hell shall stand your way anymore!

In Jesus Mighty Name!

Pastor Bernard Ingozi Makokha.

 

The WORD POWER FORCE! 15

THE FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE

Foundation is a base upon which a building rests. It is also a principle, idea or fact upon which matters are based. Whatever has no foundation has no future.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Ps 11.3) Judah shall again take Root downward and bear fruit upward (Isa 37.31).

 Without foundation nothing goes on no matter how many activities take place. The righteous effectiveness is tied to the base of their stand. Until they take Root downward, there is no fruit upward. Excellence is a heritage of each and every child of God but only those who lay its foundation shall flow in the same. There is a foundation to an excellent life.

 Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure having their seal. The Lord knoweth them that are his. And let EVERYONE that nameth the name of CHRIST DEPART FROM INQUITY (2Tom 2:9)

 Excellence has its roots in ones departure from inquity. It takes righteous living to excel in life. After the imputed righteousness by faith in Christ Jesus at salvation, right living that matches the Lord's desires is paramount to excel. It is true that good works matter as a proof of your experience in Christ. This is what the foundation of excellence is in life.  

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. (Pro 14:34).

 Only those who embrace right living excel while the rest watch them! All over history a large percentage of those who made it are people who chose the right path for their lives. Someone said "A brilliant mind with an impure heart, leads to error, insanity and finally death". Sin is a destroyer, don't play with it. It's righteousness that excels any life.

 ... For as much as an excellent spirit, and knowledge , and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing hard sentences and dissolving of doubts, we found in Daniel (Dan 5:12).

The excellent spirit in Daniel was behind the excellencies he enjoyed. There was none like him in the entire Kingdom. Even among the presidents like him, he became their ruler (Dan 6:3). Its only when we embrace the spirit of excellence that our potential to excel is released. But how did Daniel find access to the spirit of excellence?. He was not the only Jew in the land! How come he excelled more than the rest?. The life he lived was as a result of the foundation he established.

 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not Defile himself with the portion of the King's meat, not with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the prince of the Eunuchs that he might not defile himself (Dan 1:8).

Daniel determined not to defile himself and so he excelled. He embraced righteousness and so it caused him to excel. You can't any other way. The sin you don't decide against you can't be free from it. The excellent spirit requires that you deal righteously. There is no way you can excel in life dealing wickedly.

The way of the transgressor is Hard.. (Pro 4:18).And pharaoh said unto his servants can we find such a one as this is a man in whom the spirit of God is? (Gen 41:38).

The spirit of the excellent God was in Joseph and caused him to excel. That spirit picked him from the pit, to slavery to prison and finally on the throne. But how did he maintain that excellence?. He refused to deal wickedly.

 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and she said, lie with me but he refused and said unto his master's wife. .. how then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?(Gen 39:7-10)

 Its your refusal to sin against God that attracts excellence in your way. You must make right dealing a principal of life. Joseph couldn't figure out how he could sin? To him the ability to sin was none existent. It's time to do right. Excellence is real but on right living basis.

The apostle Paul was a man of excellence see what he says. You are witnesses and God also, how Holily and Justly and unblamably. We behave ourselves among you that believe. (1Thes 2:10)

To him he sees no reason to explain further what kind of a man he is. He tells them that they know it all. He was an example in all things and so he excelled. If what you do you would not like anyone to emulate then it must be sin. Excellent people lead righteous lives to keep ahead of the rest.

The Lord Jesus Christ our perfect example excelled in all he did. How could he attain that excellence? It's told of him prophetically.  Thy throne, o God is forever and ever: the scepter of thy Kingdom is a right sceptre Thou lovest RIGHTEOUSNESS and HATES wickedness; therefore God hath anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy fellows (Ps 45:6-7).

 He loved righteous deals and hated wickedness and so he excelled. The church needs not just to avoid sin but to hate it. Let sin be a strange thing to you as a child of God and excellence will never be denied you. All you need is to develop a love for what is right. Stop enduring right deals and love them. Let there be a rejoicing that you had the opportunity to cheat but you refused to do it because you love it right.

Watch this:  The (uncompromisingly) righteous shall flourish (excel) like the palm tree (be long-lived, stately. Upright, useful, and fruitful) they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. (Majestic, stable, durable and incorruptible). Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts our God.. they shall still bring forth fruit in old age, they shall be full of sap... to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to his promises. He is my rock and there is no unrighteneouness in him. (Ps 92:12-15).AMP.

Those who stand their ground todo right shall excel. It's time to excel don't let that sin stop you. Stop it before it stops you. You must arise to the occasion and take your place in this great season of excellence. You will excel in Jesus mighty name! Thanks again for being online. God richly bless you.

Today we have aguest minister who will share with us
the reality of the current society. Just watch you
will be blessed.This my friend and follower brother
Tony! You are welcome.

"One Sunday morning during service, a 2,000 member
congregation was
surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head
to toe in
black and carrying submachine guns. One of the men
proclaimed,
"Anyone  willing to take a bullet for Christ remain
where you are."

Immediately, the choir fled, the deacons fled, and
most of the
congregation fled. Out of the 2,000 there only
remained around 20.
The man who had spoken took off his hood, looked at
the preacher
and said "Okay Pastor, I got rid of all the
hypocrites. Now you may
begin your service. Have a nice day!" And the two men
turned and
walked out.

Too deep not to pass on...

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God ... and
then
wonder why the world's going to hell.

Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but
question what
the Bible says.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they
do not have
to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says.


Funny or is it scary?

Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but
still follow Satan
(who, by the way, also "believes" in God).

Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through
e-mail and they
spread like wildfire, but when you start sending
messages regarding
the Lord,  people think twice about sharing.

Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass
freely
through cyberspace, but the public discussion of
Jesus is suppressed

in the school and work place.

Funny, isn't it? Funny how someone can be so fired up
for Christ
on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of
the week.

Are you laughing?

Funny how when you go to forward this message, you
will not send
it to many on your address list because you're not
sure what they
believe, or what they will think of you for sending
it to them.

Funny how I can be more worried about what other
people think of
me than what God thinks of me.

Are you thinking? Will you share this with people you
care about? Or not?  Anthony Makokha.

Well thatis shoking! isn't it.It's great thanks to
Tony for that. And Lots of thanks to you for staying
on line with  this program.God richly Bless you.

Preparation the Key ToAccomplishment!

The man of God Kenneth Hagin said "Time spent in preparation is no wasted time." Time is the greatest gift God gave to every man equally. To the big and small, Rich and Poor all of them have equal time-24hrs a day.

Both the wise and fools have equal opportunites, but the difference in output is in their preparation.

There is no accomplishment without preparation. No matter how great your Vision is, until you prepare for it, you will never accomplish it.

Preparation is the mother of accomplishment. Without it you will be frustrated. Without it your failure is a guarantee! God forbid.

The truth of the matter is that failure to prepare is preparing to fail.The cheapest way to fail is to do nothing about your present state!

Life is only sweet when is prepared for. There are no "suddenlies" with God. You are either ready for the breakthrough or you miss it! Lk12:47,48. If you will have to prepare when an opportunity rise, then you are too late. Also understand that as much as preparation is by choice, its equally punishable.

You can choose to prepare or not, but remember to every choice you make there are consquences! And Iginorance is no defence!

Both of the servants in the text failed to prepare, despite the fact that one was ignorant he was equally punished. God will not overlook your failure to prepare!

Nothing works without preparation. Our God is a God of preparation. He is God of plan, design, Purpose and objectivity.He does nothing without first preparing for it. Ps9:7,8. 68:10,11. Until He prepares He does nothing.Ps 103:19, 147:7,8.

Preparation is Gods way of working. Nothing happens without it. The unfailing God prepares then works, you cant be like Him without preparing. Preparation is Gods way of doing.

Jos1:11. Your inheritance are ready but until you prepare, you wont get them. There is no inheritance without preparation! What you dont prepare for you dont get and when you get, it doesnt benefit you!

Therefore is a paramount pre-requisite by God that you prepare to enjoy your inheritance.

1Chro22:5. Your greatness is tied to your preparation. The degree to which you prepare determines the degree to which you attain.

God wishes above all things that you may prosper, but that wish alone cant make you great, you got to prepare and forge a head into this prosperity.

2Chro27:6 Your might on the earth is also tied to your preparation.You either prepare your ways before the Lord your God or your might will never be seen. You are destined for greatness but you will never see it until you prepare for it.

Whatever God has said concerning you can only be a reality with your preparation. God is already prepared, you prepare yourself and walk with Him.

Zeph1:7-9.Failure to prepare doesnt mean God is not ready.Infact it only attracts Gods punishment on one.

May I prophesy to you today. There is coming Gods punishment upon all who have made Gods service a childs play.The minister who fail to prepare and take off with this present move of God, will be no where in the programme of God.

Those who have despised Gods will be esteemed lightly. The Lord is out to show the world what "Church" means. Every wolf among the sheep will be spoted and thrown out.

A clear damagation between the church and the world is drawn, your preparation or failure to tells which side you belong. The time has come when no one shall be mistaken to be Godly.

The Godly will be fully known by all and it will be so with the unGodly. The sinners who have been hiding in the church are being thrown out then shall the mountain of God be exaulted above all other mountains then and then only shall the Nations of the world flow in the church for answers.(Isa2:1-3).

This is injury time, you cant afford to be uncertain of your stand. Do you Know that you very well know, that you are on the Lords side? If not you better work hard and ensure, for time is running out. Dont you be locked out! Run and make your records with God"

That you are punished doesnt mean everyone is! Only those who fail to prepare get punished. The year has gone now we are in another one, how ready are you to fly in this dispensation.

Remember no accomplishment without preparation, only punishment.Zeph2:1-3. Here God is offering you a last chance to prepare! You cant afford to be punished again in this year as the rest of years. Be wise!

Prepare to eat good this year. Gods part is guaranteed! Only prepare and you will see lines fall for you in pleasant places! All that God has said over you is overdue!. Just prepare. God only promises good for you this year! Isa1:19 You shall eat good this year!

Isa62:8-12.All these are made yours. Just prepare! Get set! This is your turn! The shame youve carried all these years, drop it! Nothing is strong enough to stop you! Just prepare.

Align yourself with Gods covenant for your life. Remember what God says is more important than every thing that has been said by men since creation.

No matter where you are now your present status is not your ultimate! Give yourself to preparation before God and you will see what God can do with the former failure!

That you tried and failed doesnt make you an eternal failure! You take time and prepare then lets see which devil will stand your way.

Preparation is always Gods way in all deallings. Lk1:17,76.Jesus would never have come until John the baptist came! Preparation always preceeds accomplishment! Lk2:29-32.

Jesus way was prepared, yours also need to be prepared. The only defference is that you, yourself is responsible to prepare your own way by Gods divine order!

The Trumpet has sounded! You are the one to determine what will becomes of you. God has made all resources available. Join hands with him and shine In Jesus Mighty Name. The Lord Gave The Word: Great was the company of those that published it.Ps68:11

BOOSTERS OF EXCELLENCE!

A booster is a pillar of stability to an object. Its a device of increasing power or value. Its what gets one to function more effective than before. Excellence is only attainable with successful progress on the journey. This requires boosters to guarantee its reality. There are several boosters that are inevitable if one must excel successfully in life. These include:

1.Adventure. This is taking risks and accepting challenges that are beyond ones immediate ability to deliver. Its stepping in new fields without required resources. This is all risky but as Archbishop Benson Idahosa said, "Its risky not to take risks!" Life is full of risks and without standing out to face them , nothing significant comes out of it. The curious, outgoing ones will take adventure as a way of life not the conservative and reserved. Change is paramount for excellence, but there is no change without adventure.

There is a native Kenyan saying that goes " a child that has never left his home believes that his mother is the best cook in the world!" Mediocrity is

excellence in the eyes of a mediocre! Youve always made it until you meet those who have done beyond your wildest dream. Observing those who seem better than average as great role models will keep you above average. It' all by association.

"Wherefore seeing, we also are encompassed about with so great a cloud of witness, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth easily. Beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith" .(Heb 12:1,2)

We have a great cloud of witnesses, talked about in chapter eleven of Hebrews they were men and women of adventure. They believed God and excelled in life. They are Exhibits

that adventure in God excels. They ran their race and kept their faith as a proof that we also can do it. Therefore, we are admonished to look on Jesus as they did, and we will make it. Who you associate with goes along way to tell of whether or not you will excel in life.

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but thecompanion of fools shall be destroyed. (Prov.13:20). Only those who associate with men of excellence have a guarantee to excel a like. Who you look upto is very important in excellence. a sense of adventure is inevitable for the one wired to excel. You need to create your own adventures and engineer a large measure of your own happiness. You take risks, push yourself to the limit and stretch your mind and body in pursuit of your goals. Remember, things only move when you move them.

 " Wealth gotten by vanity shall diminish, but he that gathereth by LABOUR shall increase (excel) (Prov. 13:11)

 What comes to you without your involvement will not last with you. You must take your place in your excellence. In Joshua 14:11, 12, we see Caleb at 85 declaring, he is ready to take his mountain from the hands of the enemy. Only daring men make things happen. What you have is not all that is to be gotten! And what you know is not all that is to be known! Do something, dont just stand and watch life come and go. If you dont update yourself, you will soon be outdated! Make new ventures and live better in Jesus Name!

2.Personal Discipline:

Those who excel, they first of all take charge of themselves. They plan their work and work their plan. The highest form of discipline is self discipline

 "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he that RULETH HIS spirit then he that taketh a city. (Prov. 16:32)

No matter how strong and mighty man you are until you can control yourself you cant excel. Doing what is right against your right now appetite and desire for the goal set before you, is a Great value of life. Portiphas wife persistently pestered Joseph for an affair, but he told her" How can I do this great wickedness?" (Gen 40:9) His self discipline kept him. You are your best guard!

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. (Prov. 25:28). You must determine what you get involved in. People who are disciplined neither burn our nor coast a long, but they achieve a balance in life. They know they have physical emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs, so they see to it that those needs are met in the right way. All you are ordained to be you can become but take change of yourself first. Thanks.. to be continued.
