Be confident enough to be doubted and not render yourself inadequate. Be content enough to wait until you bear fruit and see results. Be joyful enough to conquer against all odds. Be brave enough to take a chance or knock on those doors. Be grateful enough to celebrate every achievement and embrace your progress. Be humble enough to cheer others on, and to receive praise and gratification from God vs man. 🌸

We have become so accustomed to negativity so much that good things are not easily accepted or celebrated. We find it hard to accept where we are being negative ourselves and continually justify our words and actions into ‘acceptance’. We advocate hashtags to normalize things that are already normal, and we want to ‘abnormalize’ we we do not want to accept. Goodness is shunned, and the prevailing aspect is the hypocrisy of not owning up when we are wrong, nor standing up against negativity. We ought to cling to God, and counter the attacks of the negative world, we ought to know that there is no good thing in us except God and we can only win and no grow weary through him.

The struggle to master and accept when, how and from who you get gratified is a matter of Values the spirit said to me. What you value fuels where, how and what you want as a reward for your pursuits and efforts. The money you desire to have, who you want to affiliate with, the validation you require and that desperate need for satisfaction and release. What we stand by will easily determine how soon we break, or how long we withstand the tides and grow our purposed ventures in various facets of life i.e family, business, the kingdom of God, networks etc. The journey comes with understanding what will attract what gratification, when and from who. So if you struggle with incompleteness, with unsatisfied desires, short-lived projects and the like, go back to your foundation- your value system 🌸

You can do and be better, but it will cost you. . It is not easy to sacrifice something you treasure or without compulsion, it is not easy to commit because we don’t like being accountable and having to be consistent, it is not easy to keep a dream alive, to have to do/start something yourself when someone can do it for you, it is not easy seeing something take more than you were willing to give, it is not easy living through the trade offs… but those are the little big things that will get you doing better

Life comes 'challenge guaranteed' in all stages of our lives, and if you haven't come to terms with that the agony can weigh so heavy and result in resentment, feeling like a victim and it can stunt your growth and rob your from deriving value from each hurdle. So learn 'to make lemonade, and MORE. It sure can be a lonely road through it all, but if there's a gift you can give yourself is to learn to face challenges and refuse to be swallowed by them. Take them for what they are... Take each situation as an exam question, a practical in a lab or a lap to run. Build courage by facing challenges head on..don't whine and over share, increase your competence and wisdom through learning about the challenge at hand..let it give you experience, build resilience through perseverance..don't backdown, use the misfortune to your advantage... reach out and make connections, find new happiness, learn more about who you are, master the problem and learn what causes failure... use it, share it and charge for that knowledge. Diversify those lemons 🍋

Be resolute in your mind and heart to be relentless in character. Be not moved by the circunstances infront of you. Press on to what you too desire and have it as any other person who does. Seek God with all your might, never lose sight of the vision. If you don't have one.. persue it and want to live a meaningful wholesome live as well. Be unapologetic and seek that which you know you can have anf give.

In honor of your mercy and love, for demonstating your power by knitting every fibre and being and placing it in my mother's womb, that this is evidence of your prophetic words and manifestation of work seen and yet to be seen. Kept! I bow and honor you Lord🌸

If you find yourself in a space where it takes a lot to get up and live through the day, if you feel discouraged and almost out of hope or energy. . And/or overwhelmed by what lies ahead of you, i encourage you to cling to the help we have in Christ. Deliberately counter and shift your focus to inspiration, to what will secure your heart in peace and strengthen you. Don't go with the melody of the sad song, connect to the frequency that propels you.

Surely we know we aren't able to forget everything... no, not by our might for sure. With God it is possible. I was led to this revelation recently.. to take up course and intercede for my mind to forget the former things and out of slavery. Rarely do we add what we need to forget on a prayer list as we fast and /or pray but that is exactly the burden and warfare we need to give to God in exchange for newness, refreshing and a transformation of mind. In that we will be able to perceive the work he is doing, and not lean on our understanding by inference. We need to forget the former ways of our traditions, former experiences from relationships, former doctrines and the dictates of whatever circumstances we operated in that formed the frameworks of our ways of seeing, believing and decision making that are misaligned to the Kingdom of God. Isaiah 43:18-19, Phil 3:13 🌸

We have probably fumbled through many things in our lives, and yes some we've actively pursued. . However, there shouldn't even be times we are passive in the first place. A little sleep, a little slumber! That is to say, whatever met us unprepared, we have compromised... that project, that appointment, that relationship, that battle was compromised and half experienced. The distractions we allow, the pressure we put ourselves in, the blindness to opportunities, what we take for granted, the knowledge we are lazy to attain, the help we shy away from getting and the more we lose sight of the vision steal and has us forfeit value and success. Make sure that you mind is ready, your heart is open, your skill is sharpened. Even at the coming of our Lord, your spirit must be rendered faithful. Those who have ears will hear, and we shall be doers of the Word. So help us God.🌸
