GOD WILL REWARD US ALL
A lost opportunity to give is a lost opportunity to receive because Your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly , Imagine what it will be like on judgement day when God tells somebody you helped anonymously that it was you. There will be rewards handed out to people who dont even remember doing the things they are honoured for,like making a phone call that landed somebody a job, paying their light bill, encouraging them when they are down, leaving abag of groceries on their door ,even those who benefitted from your kindness forget, God remembers records and rewards MATTHEW 10;42 https://youtu.be/nbyuzTK62UY

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Do not despise these small beginnings; for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin Zechariah 4:10
DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
What seems small to you might be huge to someone else start that business with that small capital ,David had a sling that killed the enemy of his nation ,Dorcas had a needle that on the day of trouble people showed Peter all the clothing she sowed for them and was raised from the dead to life.Rahab had a string that saved her and household and was in the lineage of Jesus Christ. All were used by God. What do you have? JOHN WESLEY SAID" Do all the good you can,by all the means you can,in all the ways you can,in all the places you can,at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can. With GOD , small deeds count never despise small beginnings. WATCH AND SUBSCRIBE ON THESE CHANNEL: FOUNDATIONONASOLIDROCK ON YOUTUBE GBU https://youtu.be/EeNHGt62BdY

LOVE OTHERS AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF
https://youtu.be/EeNHGt62BdY Love yourself in a healthy way then you can love others , when you don't love yourself you live in insecurity, and you keep looking to others for approval leading to living beneath your approval. You are the only person that you cant avoid ,learn to accept yourself to avoid miserable living. However the Bible cautions us about having an over inflated opinion of ourselves remember God despises a proud person but promotes the humble instead of focusing on your flaws recognize the treasure of God presence power and potential that lives in you and build on it.

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Though the fig tree does not bud and there no grapes on the vines though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food though there are no sheep in the sheepfold and no cattle in the stalls yet I will rejoice in the Lord I will be joyful in God my Saviour
GATHER THE LEFTOVERS
Did you know that what starts as a curse can end as a blessing? When Jesus discovered that Lazarus was sick He didnt respond until after he had died , He chose that to show us that nothing is too hard for God.Joseph was falsely imprisoned for 13 years but God was with him, his struggles made him better not bitter he maintained a right attitude ,God used Esther to save her people but first God put her in a position of living where she didnt want to live and doing what she didnt want to do. So if you are struggling to see God purpose in your suffering today be rest assured He has one , trust God all things are working together for your good https://youtu.be/EeNHGt62BdY

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before and God will call the past to account Eccelesiastes 3:15
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
The life of Joseph teaches us that the road to success isnt easy. It involves having a dream nobody else believes in, and holding onto it through the hardest of times. It involves handling resentment from those closest to you and keeping a good attitude. It involves mai ntaining your intergrity when faced each day with temptation. it involves being so honest though very hard , it involves staying so prepared that even though your dreams are delayed , when God opens the door you are ready to walk through it. Set your standards high and keep them high if you think no one is looking ,somebody out there will notice even if it just you , never allow anyone set the standard for you because in the end you you have to live with yourself and , judge yourseelf and feel good about yourself.

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Be not afraid of sudden fear , neither of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh for the Lord shall be thy confidence and shall keep thy foot from being taken PROVERBS 3:25-26
WHAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
There are two options either speculation based on assumptions , influence from inspiration talks, stories, success knowing your purpose in life requires turning to God words not the world wisdom.Revelation can be achieved when you turn to God words, it is our own manual explaining why we are alive , how life works , what to avoid and what to expect in life .God is not just the starting point of your life , He is the source of it , not sure of your purpose yet seek and read God wordshttps://youtu.be/5QkYcnJinKo

IT IS BETTER TO HAVE SELF CONTROL THAN TO CONQUER A CITY
Building character requires self discipline .Self discipline is the ability to do what is right when you don't feel your greatest victory are internal ones if you are serious about building strong character ,set higher standards for yourself and refuse to lower them. You will however need a role model, you cannot find a better role model except Jesus Christ. Each day look for an opportunity to say "no" to yourself in small area , you will be surprise how hard it is but the payoff will come when you need to say no to yourself in some big area of your life.httpshttps://youtu.be/5QkYcnJinKo://youtu.be/5QkYcnJinKo

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds, He determines the numbers of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power his understanding has no limit PSALM 147:3-5
LAUGH CONTINUALLY
When you woke up this morning what did you do first? Smile or frown at the first person you saw ? Laugh in spite of all circumstances this shows that the world is not the source of your security , secondly temporal situations don't control your joy ,people refuse to evangelise because others would become as miserable as they are shouldn't describe you give yourself permission to laugh , it will keep you healthy beautiful/handsome and make the experience you talk about a lot more attractive to others. Your current situation is temporal begin to imagine your future and be happyhttps://youtu.be/5QkYcnJinKo

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
We do not know what we should for but the Spirit makes intercession for us ROMANS 8:26
THE LANGUAGE OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD
The language of the spiritual world is prayer and since the spiritual world is the source of power , victory, peace , joy and everything else we need ,it is essential we learn to speak it. Spiritual world controls the physical world, prayer is relational the Holy Spirit is there to help us to pray , He communicate God heart back to us by connecting with our human spirit so that we hear God talk to us in the deepest part of our being . Prayer cannot be rushed we must take our time to meditate and be still.

BE HOLY
Holiness isn't a subject we hear much these days what really is holiness ? but let us understand what it doesn't mean? It doesn't mean isolation from the world, it insulates you against negative influences. It is not a scorecard for deciding who is close to God and who is not , it is having a heart that is aware of your shortcomings and praying Holiness means to be set apart in a special and exclusive way focusing and always remembering that God watches us including secret things thoughts of our lives will enable us live holyhttps://youtu.be/IWHY_7FtKNc

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
A wife of noble character is her husbands crown but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones PROVERBS 12:4 NIV
PRAYER
The first mention of prayer in the Bible is "At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord " So how often do you call on the name of the Lord? Only when you are in trouble ? Or when in church? Never? Occasionally ? Try a triple A prayer 1 ADORE: You build intimacy in a relationship by focusing on the other person so change your prayer pattern get up tomorrow morning and ask "Lord is there anything I can do for you today? 2 ASK: Most of the time God will is already revealed in His word , so read it . When you know you are praying spiritually you pray with confidence using your faith 3 ACCEPT God will always work in your best interest despite the urgency God answering your prayer is determined by the condition of your heart and your readiness to handle what He wants to give you so instead of pestering Him like a child grow up and say "Lord , You promised it , I believe it and that settles it .https://youtu.be/IWHY_7FtKNc

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried out into the midst of sea .The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge PSALMS 46:1,2,7 KJV
RISE UP TAKE COURAGE AND DO IT
Commitment is a willingness to do whatever it takes it is a promise to yourself from which you refuse to back down there is a difference between interest and commitment .When you are interested you do it only when its convenient but when you are committed you accept no excuse , you cant have a healthy body when you feed on junk foods, a guaranteed salary is non existent when you start your own business commitment means paying your dues disregarding critics what are you committed to God or money? https:/, /youtu.be/IWHY_7FtKNc

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal "The Lord knoweth them that are his. And Let everyone that nameth Christ depart from iniquity 2 Timothy 2:19
BE AN EXAMPLE IN LOVE
A pastor of a large church tells of being in an elevator with a drunk man who was throwing up , the pastor couldn't wait o get off , and kept criticising the man later that night God spoke to him and said "You laughed at him, but I loved him enough to die for him. The same sunshine that melts the butter hardens the clay , when you constantly deal with people problem it will make you either callous or compassionate .LOVE isn't a virus that you catch it is a virtue you are suppose to practise everyday extend your love to someone today especially people that you know hate you. https://youtu.be/IWHY_7FtKNc

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord and He pondereth all his goings PROVERBS 5:21
TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE
How do you develop patience? Through tribulation when your honesty seems to go unnoticed , when your hard work seems to go unrewarded , when your kindness is rendered without thanks , when your helping hand is offered and ignored when even love is refused that is when patience shines in all its beauty , in Christian life each storm brings its blessings and each trial produces its rewards, patience brings hope , it produces spiritual fruit, through patience you will receive what God has promised you.https://youtu.be/IWHY_7FtKNc

SEE YOURSELF IN GOD IMAGE
A man who was feeling depressed went to see a psychiatrist . After sharing his
problems he expected some profound words of wisdom that would make him feel
better “Well the psychiatrist exclaimed “Ive diagnosed the problem it is low
esteem and is common among losers. When you view yourself negatively you tend
to gravitate toward people who talk down to you. But when you know that God
loves you and plans to give you a future and a hope your entire outlook
changes. With God you can’t lose even if you stumble and fall He would help
you to get back up, learn from the experience and move on . Look at yourself in
the mirror of God word , you will see someone being transformed into His
likeness https://youtu.be/JtBIUbNLE3Q

THREE DANGER POINTS THAT THE ENEMY WILL ATTACK YOU
Weariness normally Esau wouldn’t have sold his
birthright but he was in a state of exhaustion. Weariness can make you lose
focus making decisions of convenience instead of long term consideration of the
effect of the decision never make decisions
when you are hungry , angry , lonely or tired. Excitement : Herod was excited because of the
young girl that danced and promised her an open cheque , be careful of where
you get excitement so you don’t regret
thereafter, Discouragement can make you do things out of character and
the most used and expensive weapon used against children of God .https://youtu.be/JtBIUbNLE3Q

KEEP YOUR TONGUE FROM EVIL
Our abrasive words can cut off people ability to
hear, we must be sensitive to God , if HE tells us” Say nothing” we must stand
there quietly , even if it means letting someone think they are right even when
we know they are not we must say “Yes
Lord” because He is sovereign and owes us no explanation often times because we don’t control what we say it has prevented
somebody spiritual growth or diverted God blessing “He who guards his lips guard his life , but
he who speaks rashly will come to ruin PROVERBS

KNOWING THAT THE PRESENCE OF GOD IS WITH YOU
How do you know that God is ever present with
you? The first thought is feelings of
reassurance the second thought is guidance maybe when you are stumped with an
issue suddenly an idea comes to you, no matter how big or small it helps, it
could be about when you are about to say something suddenly a little voice
tells you to “be quiet “ which happens to me a lot. Another indication is
conviction of sin , you are going down a wrong road suddenly there a little
stab of pain saying “turn around” , ensure you heed that voice to avoid guilt
ridden. The fourth is joy , you feel surge of satisfaction but all these can
occur when you set the Lord always before you.PSALM 16:8https://youtu.be/JtBIUbNLE3Q

GET SOME REST
We claw our way to success then discover we don't like the pressure that go with it, so what must we do ? Learn to walk away Jesus did when the disciples came back from evangelism Jesus told them to go and rest MARK6:30-32. Jesus knew that if you don't take a break you will break make a list of things that you can do then delegate the rest, learn to take small steps and celebrate small accomplishments , don't allow the stuff that are still undone , to undo you. Don't allow overachievers put you into overdrive , strive for balance don't become addicted to what enjoy, you are in for a long haul you will win when you pace yourself .Take time for the people who matter otherwise you will lose them busyness is a destroyer of relationships all the success in the world wont compensate for the joy and treasure of your family and loved ones.
