YOU GAIN THROUGH PAIN
When their husbands died , Naomi ,Ruth and Orpah experienced a unique bonding process.Unless you have been through it , it is hard to understand. When you are hurting dont look for support from those who haven't walked in your shoes. People cant give you what they dont have .Often the best they have to offer is the kind of advice that"s glib and quickly becomes annoying.
When life suddenly changes and you are fighting just to get through another day ,remind yourself that the enemy hasn't snatched the steering wheel of God .No, God is aware of what you are going through and He still has a plan for you .Be encouraged,you gain through pain .Victory is born out of struggle .Hold on to HIS HAND HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH THIS HAVE A TESTIMONY FILLED WEEK

PRACTICAL WAYS OF DEALING WITH YOUR DAILY TASK
Large tasks tends to overwhelm us and overwhelmed people seldom get things done.Ask God to help u then apply this principles. Focus on the task the secret of success is making every action count being intentional. If you know you have talent energetic active focus on your task if you dont you will fail. Prioritize by importance when you don't prioritize the tasks begin to arrange itself by urgency and when the urgent drives you instead of importance you lose the edge.
Order it by sequence create a timetable and stick with them .
Assign it by abilities when you divide a large task into smaller ones you begin to understand what kinds of people you will need to get the job done accomplish it by teamwork SHALOM

In our lives God hides us before any showing there is
a hiding God get us alone and does a work in us that cannot be accomplished any
other way. The archer takes a rough branch , cuts it down and makes it into a
highly polished arrow capable of hitting the mark next he put it into a quiver.
What a wonderful place to be TIED UP TO GOOD.

BE GRATEFUL AT ALL TIMES
It so easy to complain about your present position without appreciating how you go there. The story of Job teaches us that the devil has to be given permission to attack us. So if God is allowing the attack surely He is planning our victory. He wouldnt allow us to be in a battle we couldnt win . God looks for handpicked people He can send into difficult environments that He might be glorified. He makes all things work together for good.Just keep your eyes open and see what God is up to SHALOM

ACT WITH COURAGE ALWAYS
Paul writes , Every detail works to your advantage so we are not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside where God is making new life ,not a day goes by without his unfolding grace 2 Corinthians 4:15-17
Note the words "We are not giving up " Anytime we want to move forward ,obstacles are going to get in our way, and God word teaches us that we shouldn't expect less, each obstacle we overcome teaches us about our strength, weakness, it shapes us ,makes us wiser and more confident.
The greatest people in history were those who faced the most difficult challenges with courage and rose to the occasion ,no matter what you are going through the tides are rising everything seems to be going wrong BE STILL KNOWING THAT GOD WILL NEVER LIE HE IS RIGHT BESIDE YOU STRETCHING HIS HANDS TOWARDS YOU SO HE CAN HELP ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS STRETCH YOUR HANDS TOWARDS HIM SHALOM

ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL
To succeed at any worthwhile venture you need a thick skin when it comes to handling criticism .That is what separates those who say they want something from God from those who are prepared to pay the price. Remember a peacock that rest on its feathers is just another turkey until it flaps its wings then you behold how beautiful it looks. It is a good thing that God doesnt automatically grant all our requests often we want things because they look good in the lives of others but God in His wisdom knows it would destroy us to receive what we are not equipped to handle.
God tests you with what you already have in order to develop consistency and strength. He wants to see how you handle the pressures that blessings He is already given you.He wants to get you to the place in Him where you are immune to adversity where you have learned to appreciate the Giver more than the gift BE THANKFUL SHALOM

There was a woman who poured alabaster jar of perfume on Jesus with indignation expressed by a disciple.Luke 7:36-38. Simon the Pharisee saw this woman as a weed Jesus saw as a potential rose and watered it , others may know what you have done but Jesus knows what you can become.

WAIT PATIENTLY IN THE LORD
The old saying " You cant always have what you want " isn't necessarily true .When you delight yourself in the Lord he will give you the desires of your heart PSALM 37:4. But God always makes you wait..God allows certain things to take place in our lives to teach us important principles like maintaining our faith when times get tough, developing new skills and ways of thinking , showing grace and controlling our responses .
When you spend time in God waiting room He is developing qualities in you that cant be developed in any other way. When He is finished you will come out stronger and wiser.And you will have the maturity to handle what He has in mind for you.So dont let the enemy rattle you or engineer your circumstances that put you into overdrive rather REST IN THE LORD AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM SHALOM

The tongue small but powerful ,relationships ,marriages , testimonies have ended in disaster because of an utterance .Like an egg once broken cannot be gathered and become whole again if not used it can become rotten likewise words that you utter if negative leads to rottenness in life endeavour. Your own words have more power to affect you than anybody else ultimately it is not what other says that counts , it is what you say about yourself after they get through talking.
You will never enjoy what God has for you in the future while you are still living in the past . To enter the Promised Land , you must first leave the wilderness.So come into agreement with God ;begin to say what He says about you. What you say from the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed not only influences your day, it influences the entire outlook and direction of your life SHALOM

ARE YOU A PERFECTIONIST?
Some of us are perfectionist when it comes to physical appearances ,yet we think nothing of running around spiritually threadbare.We are more concerned with how we look to others than how we look to God. Chuck Swindol says: The number one enemy of change is the hardcore ,self sustained sin nature within you .Like a spoiled child it been gratified and indulged for years, so it wont give up without a temper tantrum .The flesh dies a slow ,bitter, bloody death kicking and struggling all the way.

PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR
God love is the only perfect love it removes our fears.What are you afraid of? fear of losing something or something you fear you wont receive it ?why dont you ask God to give you understanding of how much He loves He prizes ,protects and provides for .You are drawn to people who love us ,so why is it so difficult for us to go to God in prayer? It is because we need a fresh understanding of His love for us . But what does God love look like? Look at the cross if you had been the only person who ever lived Jesus would have died for you. Once you are secure in God love you can begin to acknowledge your weaknesses seek His help , grow strong and use the gifts He has given you . SEEK THE FACE OF GOD TODAY SHALOM

Perseverance means staying in the fight and refusing to give up.It empowers you so stop feeling like a victim of circumstances,rather it builds your confidence and becomes a tool you can automatically use. Your determination will determine your reward Revelation 3:21 confirms that, .When the enemy tries to attack any area of your life what do you do ? You must fight back if you are passive he will demolish you , he will try and attack at your weakest point when everything around you seems bleak the reality faces you in a negative way , when your eyes are so red from crying that praising God is not possible it is at this moment that you stand up praise God be happy joyful and shout "Everything works together for good to them that love God" DONT GIVE UP, YOUR TESTIMONY IS AROUND THE CORNER WITHOUT A TEST THERE WILL BE NO TESTIMONY WITHOUT AN EXAMINATION THERE WILL BE NO PROMOTION SHALOM

FORGET ABOUT THE PAST
When God determines your future, He doesnt consult your past. Peter was a fisherman with a hair trigger temper and some antisocial tendencies.Yet God filled him with so much spiritual power that when he preached ,multitudes came to Christ. Zacchaeus a well known embezzler hosted Jesus overnight in his home and ended up becoming a philanthropist. Run was a Moabitess who grew up worshipping idols not a promising start but after turning to serve the living God she became a part of the ancestry of King David and our Lord Jesus Christ.
And how about Paul? Killing Christians didnt put him off limits to God. As an Apostle he wrote half of the New Testament by divine revelation , was taken into heaven where he saw incredible things and when aprons handkerchiefs taken from his body were placed on the sick were healed , now if God could do all that for people with a past . He can give you a new beginning too SHALOM

WHAT BEAUTY DOES GOD APPROVE?
A lady was applying face cream when her little girl asked "What that you are putting on, Mum?Moisturiser she replied.The saleslady said it would make me beautiful.With an honesty only children have she replied "Mum, I dont think its working .There is nothing wrong with looking good but there much more to you than your clothes and your hairstyle. You can go broke fixing up the outside because "What mother nature giveth,father time taketh away "
It is a big mistake to focus on the outside and fail to appreciate the inner qualities God given you . Solomon said , beauty is not lasting Proverbs 31:30 .When God made you He didn't decorate the outside,He gave you inner beauty ,the gentle, gracious king God delights in .However because Peter also talked about fancy hair, gold jewellery, fine clothes , people sometimes judge and measure people based on that. Paul writes "I want women to dress modesty with decency and propriety for women and profess to worship God.But when you focus on the wrong area you get the wrong results. Dont allow what you see on Tv or in the mirror define your worth .Work instead to develop the kind of inner beauty God commends

BBC reporter claims single women are not allowed to lodge in most hotels in Kano state
According to BBC reporter, Isa Sanusi who visited Kano recently, hotels
in Kano state give out this slip to their guests to sign. Here is what
he wrote
"I was in Kano earlier this week to collect material for a feature I'm working on and checked into hotel where I was asked to sign this slip. Every guest at most hotels here are required to sign such statements because of random raids by the Hisbah - the city's Islamic police force. The Sharia officers search the hotels looking for single women, who they always assume are prostitutes".

A leader was needed God ordered each leader to bring a wooden staff with his name on its and leave it overnight in the tabernacle.and the rod that blossom will be chosen. I learnt three things from this you are not a mistake ,from your mother womb you are ordained to fulfill a purpose in life.Aaron credentials included making a golden calf(idolatry),if you were God would you chose Aaron? God hears the cries of our hearts, sees the qualities He can use to fulfill His purpose remembering we are created to fulfill a purpose on earth .Aaron rod blossomed in God presence ,certain things happen only in the presence of God. Rearrange your priorities schedule a set time to meet with God each day and keep it if you dont mistakes are inevitable.
Aaron rod blossomed during the darkness Genesis 1:5 "So the evening and the morning were the first day.Observe,God starts your day with a night time experience .In order for your faith to blossom ,it must first be incubated in the dark .Real faith germinates in adversity,so if you try to escape , you lose the opportunity to move into the higher realms of faith SHALOM
