Opportunity 2 by Pastor Charles Famodimu


We lose opportunities when we do not know who we are. David knew the oil of God was already upon him and so a new spirit, not of fear but of sound mind was upon him to tackle issues of life successfully. He decided to take a step towards achieving the name that heaven had given him. If the message you preach or is being preached is not changing you, then you are wasting your time. We also lose opportunities when we fail to recognize them. That’s why when you are working for God you shouldn’t expect commendations from your leader because it is not man that you work for but God in the leader. Therefore, that seed of faithfulness in you (Faithfulness you exhibit) is an elevator that brings you your lifting.
We lose opportunities when we don’t know who our leader (your master, pastor, prophet or boss) is. To succeed in life you must know (a) God (b) the devil (c) your master (d) yourself. One thing we can learn from the devil is that he does not give up while Christians give up easily with excuses. Those who give excuses in life are failures. Therefore, don’t displease your leader/spiritual leader, the day you do so, heaven will count you unworthy and despise you. David our case study refused every temptation to go against his master in any way even during the days his master was persecuting him.
You can mess up opportunities when you allow material things, the things you see in life, your situations and circumstances to rule your life. This brings about a closure of heaven and such a person cannot go far in life.
Time is an opportunity
Everything you did in the past is allowed by God so as to fulfill today. It is not about your past mess but your present grace. We need heavenly knowledge to succeed. One of the reasons for your poverty is as a result of the way you carry out or fail to carry out the commission God gave to you. Learn to spend more time building your destiny through service. Learn to appreciate and value opportunity.
Take this opportunity
Everyone that wants to taste and enjoy the power of eternity must first repent and be saved. This is your opportunity to give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, your opportunity to experience a new life and joy (Open Heavens). Say this prayer aloud, Lord Jesus, I thank you because you died for me that I may be saved, I confess you this day as my Lord and Savior, come into my life by the power of your Mighty Spirit, in Jesus name, Amen!

Self-Love: The Restorative Potential of Forgiving Yourself

Image
As we embark on our path to self-love, mastering the skill of forgiving yourself  is a crucial and life-altering step. To go on this path, one must be brave, kind, and ready to release the past. A lack of self-love and subsequent stagnation in personal development and fulfilment directly result from holding onto negative emotions like shame, remorse, and regret over our perceived or actual flaws. But we may unlock the door to deep healing and self-acceptance when we forgive. Practising self-forgiveness does not include downplaying or ignoring the wrong  you have do ne . Rather, it's a deliberate decision to let go of the emotional weight of the past and proceed with empathy and comprehension. It means accepting ourselves as we are: fallible, imperfect, and capable of change. You are only human! Realising that blunders are a part of life and a chance to learn and improve is what it is to be human. It is very important to be kind to yourself, this is because it is important to the pr

Marriage and Divorce

Image
In today's world, people get validation by showing off their marital status. Some go into marriage for economic reasons, political reasons and or to strengthen a lifelong prestige with families. If you ask me, I would say the essence of marriage is getting lost as the years roll by that even venturing into that fairyland becomes a dread to many of us. And so if the essence of a thing is lost, then there is going to be a lot of problem with handling it. Some people even have bragging rights over being in the shortest marriage in the world... Unbelievable! Looking back at the design of marriage for humans, it was meant to foster love, companionship and for many procreation. Even around the globe, many people celebrate St. Valentine's day, if you must know, the reason for that day was because one person defiled all odds and rules to continue to strengthen what he believes was the will of God for mankind... Marriage. Be you a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, etc., there is tha

SAY SOMETHING NICE! (Part 1)

Image
Welcome again to another article I consider important in today's world. Sit back and let me take you through the ride... Ever heard of the Thumper’s law or Thumperian principle??? It says "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all," When it comes to using words, they are truly powerful; words have the power to lift a Nation and can inspire or destroy someone, so having the ability to think before you speak is something you shouldn’t be taking advantage of but many people do not recognise how powerful words are. Hmmmm.. or should I say they ju st choose to ignore the facts that words are really powerful? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Saying something nice is about lifting one’s co-workers, family members, friend s  acquaintances, and even foes, with genuine kind words. It takes discipline. In some cases, one may feel some kind of negative way towards others, saying something nice doesn’t necessarily mean putting those negative be
