THE gods are HERE

"Have dominion" was not just a statement. God did not just
talk, its not one of those words. It was a commission. ( The
name of a service provided to validate the completeness and
accuracy of a project or venture,
A sending or mission (to do or accomplish something).)
You have the order of the Highest God to dominate.
Therefore, you have the 24/7 backing of heaven. Rule thou in
the midst of your enemies.

Let us make man in our image and likeness means let's create an extension of us to take over the affairs of earth as we are in charge here.

That's why the bible speaking according to Paul to the Corinthians church that we are ambassadors, if ambassadors then we are heavenly representative here on earth. We rule and reign, we have a heavenly attitude, we have the heaven bloodline flowing through us, we talk like heaven, behave like heaven, do like heaven, its our nature, we don't pay for it, it was infused into us even before we existed. Its an abuse to live below dominion. John the baptist confirm it when he was preaching in the wilderness, "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand". Change your mindset, change your view, because the kingdom of our God has come on earth. The heavenly attitude will soon be introduced to you.

Dominion mandate is expressional when you carry the dominion consciousness. Without it you live the error the preacher saw in ecclesiastics, princes walking on foot, slaves riding on horses, an overdose of the dominion consciousness makes you have a positive frequency, you don't think negative, you don't see negative, you don't behave negative, you don't buy negative, you don't even allow people like that around you.

The dominion mandate makes you a god on the earth. gods don't relate with mortals, where gods congregate no mortal man can gain access there, there is the language of gods, Frank Okparume said "gods don't come down they stay up". As a god on the earth, you don't scratch to eat. You don't borrow to eat, you don't beg to spend. Live like the god that you are.

You need to be overwhelmed with this consciousness, ye are gods, and ye are the children of the most high. A lion produces after its kind, a God gives birth to god, you are a child of the most high God, 2014 is a year for gods, its a year to fly, its a year to be large and in charge, its a year of relevance, its a year of harvest, you must know that you are in charge to take charge. Its a year of DOMINION.

Ye are gods. You are a god on the earth, the gods are here.

Happy new year.

SONS and BABES

Immaturity deprives us of many things in life, men have lost positions because of it, some have even lost possessions, maturity guarantees Gods approval of us. Unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Children are born, sons are gifts. Children are much, sons are few. Sonship(maturity) pleases God.
You can't reign beyond your maturity level. The throne is not for babes, the throne is for sons(mature), inheritance is better left for a mature slave than to be left for an immature son.
Government is not for children, its for sons. Angels and men announce the birth of children, God by Himself announce the birth of a son. The world celebrates sons, family celebrates children.

True manifestation is found with sons(mature), true leadership is from sons, babes don't manifest, they only play. Major responsibilities are not left for babes, because they will mess it up. Age don't make sons maturity does, a man can be a son at 20, and another can be a babe at 40, I have fear when age is a yardstick for choosing leaders.

There is no special time allocation for maturity, just as maturity is not a gift, but a choice. There is a difference between growing and maturing, there are too many little babies that are living in grown up bodies, a thing can grow over night to thousands of height, but maturity is a process. Some plants grow over night but are mature, but such plants are very exceptional. Example of such is the Chinese bamboo. It grows its roots downwards for 5-6years before shooting up to about 90feets in few years, but we have few humans with such traits like the Chinese bamboo.

Don't play with your life. Its maturity that guarantees your credibility, sustainability and continuity any time, anywhere in life.

Complements of the season.
Thanks for reading my posts.

A piece on CHARACTER

Character is wealth. Character is richer than riches. Wealth in the hand of a man with bad character is like gold on d snout of a pig. Character preserves life, its a virtue that is not the lot of a particular sex. With it nations are built, without it kingdoms are destroyed. Long lasting impacts come from men of good character. Its a prerequisite for trust, there is no humility without it, for its the anchor upon which humility is built, show me a boy with sound character I will show you a great man in the making. People of character don't have regrets of wasted opportunities, they have what it takes to stand the test of time. At a point in life they may be cheated, deceived and even lied upon, but they are people that know that truth may travel slower than lies but it will surely be seen one day. I don't crave for wealth as I crave for character.
Happy sunday

A LETTER TO MY WIFE

Dear wife,

Please teach our daughter that a young lady ought not to be too exited when a young man shows care and tenderness. Because he has the ability to do same to many other ladies.

Teach her to know that until he says I love you, will you marry me? She should not start assuming that he is in love with her.

Sweetheart, you understand my schedules, so I may not always be there to remind her of these words. Please teach her that men are not Heartbreakers, the ladies placed their emotion first before their heart. Don't ever forget to tell her that a successful relationship is the one built on purpose(God). She should look out for a man among the brethren with a purposeful vision and not the one with television.

Mydearwife, tell her that she will be loved if she loves, tell her that her greatest virtue isn't her beauty but her attitude. Tell her to be virtuous in character and she should seek wisdom. Tell her that she's made, she does not need makeup to be made. One danger awaits her, its called the danger of marriage. She does not become a wife because she is married, for she was created as a wife.
Let her see herself so, so that no man will entice her with marriage proposal. After all he also need her in his life.

My dear wife, all of this I have seen in you and more please communicate them to #mydeardaughter.

Your Husband.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

He died a statesman (A male political leader who promotes the public good or who is recognized for probity, leadership or the quality to govern a state). A friend of children, dedicated to humanity without a desire for profit. An example of leadership, a world hero and the father of Africa.
He did not die, he passed on.

"History will remember Nelson Mandela as a champion for human dignity and freedom, for peace and reconciliation” - Bill Clinton 

Are there other Mandela's out there? The world is in our hands now.

Its A Spirit

Having the understanding of the fact that everything that happens in the physical has a spiritual implication or a spiritual foundation, will relieve you of physical exaction.

Fear is a spirit. Power is a spirit. Love is a spirit. Sound mind is a spirit. 2Timothy 1:7 Check closely, it's all about spirits.

I want to talk to u as  families, organizations, business owners, people in  relationships, etcetera.

Let's talk about the spirit of unity. Its a new month and the last month of the year, we need to put things in other to await the year to come.

What is unity?
Its the state or fact of being one undivided entity.

A single undivided thing, seen as complete in itself.

I have seen from scriptures that unity factor is very essential for the running of homes, businesses etcetera. Genesis 11: 1-5. Unity attracts God. Whatever is done in unity does not have a limit, whatever that is built with unity is unpredictable, unity can't be fought.

Unity is good, unity is pleasant, unity brings about the free flow of the anointing. Where there is unity there is no friction, unity guarantees the blessing, it provokes supernatural provision, unity repels death. Psalms 133: 1-3. Acts 2.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. A business where there is no unity cannot grow. A church where there is no unity can not prosper. The devil functions better where there is discord, any slight opening of disunity is an entry for the devil to bring poverty, sickness, even death. A nation not united cannot prosper.

If you desire the spirit of unity this season it will come upon you, it will come upon your family, it will come upon your business. Those that asks receives. The spirit promised by God to be poured upon all flesh, the spirit of unity is part of it, God hates discord among brothers. Proverbs 6:19. No family makes headway beyond their level of unity. Proverbs 24:3

Its a spirit. If its in you, you can transfer it to others. A father united with himself, will have a united family, same thing with a boss.
Deliver your family, your business, yourself this December, by deliberately enacting the force of unity. I can assure that things will turn around in Jesus name. Amen.

If its a spirit then you have a role to play for its release on you. You must repent and be born again. Acts 2:37-38.

God loves you, and He is always in a good mood. Say this prayers.

Lord Jesus thank you for dying for me and taking away my sins, thank you for the gift of redemption, today I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that you died for me. Amen.

You are empowered to succeed. Top of the day.

BE YOUR BOSS

Few years back I met a dude of mine, we've been rolling for years. He is one of the guys around my world who have been my inspiration and motivation.

He is one guy that is sold out to achievements in life, he is a goal getter. He has been my pal for over eight years. A voracious reader and a deep thinker.
#Yomiprof is a blogger, an I.T personnel and a web designer. He is a master of the act that knows his onion. He is a computer wizard, you may want to ask what he studied in school. He studied business administration.

A blogger that is concern about #wealthcreation, and will not seize to talk about #beyourownboss. A smart guy who thought me that you can make money without going out of your house, you can make money without walking in the sun, you can make money legibly. He earns in dollars, and in pounds. I tell you by being his own boss.

For a while I have been away because I have been cooking this. What is the idea of being your own boss? This is a crucial subject to me and I have taken my time to ponder over it. If our interviews, aptitude tests are about testing people if they are effective bosses of themselves, or if there are machines to test if people have effectively govern themselves, I doubt if we will have governors.

When you hear be your own boss as #Yomiprof has introduce his daily followers on #blog what really comes to your mind? #Beyourownboss does not really mean starting up your own business, owning an establishment, you can be your own boss working in a company. You can be your own boss serving somebody. Dont get it wrong! I am not telling you to forget the place of "your boss" in your place of work.

We have too many people with tittles like the boss, the manager, the director, but they ain't managing nothing. We even have supervisors. Hey there! You may be a business owner and you even have one of such tittle holders that are receiving salary that is equal to their tittle and not their output. Look I don't want to employ a qualified man as my manager, but a quality man. I want to employ a man that will manage himself before he can manage my organization, I want to employ a man that has supervised himself before he can supervise my organization. In the real sense, organizations ought not to employ supervisors. But because we have too many folks that can't supervise themselves, that can't get things done on their own accord, without somebody telling them to, the organization have to employ the service of a supervisor.

If you are an employee reading this, I want you to know that your salary can be fatter than what you are receiving now if you choose to supervise yourself. Since you can't supervise yourself your employer have to employ a supervisor. That's by the way because even supervisors this days needs to be supervised for them to supervise, so you see where I am coming from.

Coming back to be your own boss. You can't boss anybody if you can't boss yourself. You can't manage nobody until you first manage yourself. You can't direct nobody until you first direct yourself. There are factors that will limit you from being your own boss. Lack of #initiative is the first. What's #initiative? The online dictionary defines initiative as the "ability to assess and initiate things independently." Or "the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do." This is the missing link. The worse man to be is a man that must be told everything before he acts, that's not different from a zombie. You don't need to impress anybody, all you need to do is to be smart, look for the needs and meet them, look for the opportunities and utilise them, look for the questions and answer them. Help your boss solve his equations, look for the missing links, be calculative. An inventive, skillful and enterprising employee naturally becomes the favourite and the envy of others. You can't have job initiative without first having private or personal initiative. It all starts by first being #yourownboss.

#Wealthcreation is not a subject for people that don't have initiatives. They are awake when others are sleeping, they are working when others are playing. Many times you find #Yomiprof awake, finding answers to peoples questions, as it pertains to their phones, and their network issues. He has come to understand that a man that woke up rich did not sleep at night. Your boss at work is not your problem, your problem is lack of initiatives,  get back to the office and ask yourself, what do I needs to do differently from what my colleagues are doing? That is the foundation of initiative.

Friends, its natural to get irritated when you have to correct a person over a thing repeatedly. You can be your boss. If you are your boss, you don't need a boss to boss you. That's the foundation of #wealthcreation.

Have a blessed week.
Pst Gaga.

I want to pastor a church for "sinners".
A school is not for those that know
An hospital is not a place for the healthy.
A church is not for saints.
Some cases are referred from one hospital to another, so
some people have been rejected and ejected, they close doors
against them because of abortion, they are called sinners,
they are called kidnappers, they are called nonentities. I am a
specialist for this kind of folks, those that have vowed not to
return to church.
I want to be your pastor.

Its a choice thing.

The happenings of life may not be appealing to us, but we should not give up for that's the only way we can happen in life.

You can't reflect it, until you accept it. Hard times come, if its timely, then a time comes for it to be over.

With joy you confuse your enemies, they can't predict you, and they can't tell where you are going to or where you are coming from.

Don't stop laughing, laugh always, laugh at your problems, laugh at the devil, laugh at your mistakes, laugh when thing are good, laugh when they are bad, don't just stop laughing. No issue is big enough to replace your laugh.

Happy Sunday.

O B J E C T I O N overruled.

An objection is a formal protest raised in court during a trial to disallow a witness's testimony or other evidence which would be in violation of the rules of evidence or other procedural law. An objection is typically raised after the opposing party asks a question of the witness, but before the witness can answer, or when the opposing party is about to enter something into evidence. The judge then makes a ruling on whether the objection is "sustained" (the judge agrees with the objection and disallows the question, testimony, or evidence) or "overruled" (the judge disagrees with the objection and allows the question, testimony, or evidence). An attorney may choose to "rephrase" a question that has been objected to, so long as the judge permits it.

Life and prevailing circumstances object to so many things. People say things, do things to object you and subject you to what they want.
Its common to hear people say you cant do it. You cant achieve it. You are too small. People of your age don't attempt such. It is forbidden. It is a sin.
I have come to know that in this life,
you are a victim of every lie you believe because it will soon become your reality.

In the court of law, you need an advocate to object for you, before the judge overrules or sustains the objection. But in life you need to standup and declare, greater is He that's in me than he that's in the world, its not what somebody said against you that's affecting you but what you agreed to, you are your advocate, plead your case, the judge of life(God) is only waiting for you to object, then He either sustains or overrule.

In the law court, you are punishable for an offence you plead guilty for.

The objection has been overruled, because you have such a senior advocate, Jesus who died for you, and at death He said its finished, you are beyond destruction, your family can't be wiped out, you can't be kicked out of school, you can get married, you are not a second class citizen, walk out of that doctors report, speak to yourself, allow yourself to prosper, unlock your mind, allow fresh air into your spirit, allow the champion in you rise.

Success is a choice and its a deliberate act.

You don't need any mans permission to make it in life, they did not sought for your permission and they are successful, walk out of that cage, spread your wings and take off.

You don't know how far you can go until you try.

At calvary the objection was overruled, walk in you victory. Hallelujah! I feel God touching somebody right now, I see an unusual energy coming on you, praise God, you are going back to claim your marriage. You are going back to claim your family, that devil is a liar you will win, you will be victorious, you are not a nobody you are somebody, common my friend the objection is overruled.
Go and claim your relationship, go and claim your possession, claim your position, its yours. In Jesus name.
It was just a set up, God is getting ready to give you double for your trouble, beauty for ashes. You will win.

You may stumble on this any time and you are not born again, you cant lift this burden by yourself, you need a senior advocate, and that advocate is Jesus.  God loves you, and He is always in a good mood. Say this prayers.

Lord Jesus thank you for dying for me and taking away my sins, thank you for the gift of redemption, today I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that you died for me. I accept you as my Lord and saviour.  Amen.

You are empowered to succeed. Top of the day.

A Note To My Son

Dear Son,

Your desires will increase as you grow. You will see many things that will naturally be attractive to you, your mind either grow wide or grow wise, because at this point you will come to understand that life either go as you lead or you go as life lead.

I am my fathers son, but we always quarrel, we are either quarrelling over my nonchalant attitude towards my books as the case was then, or my coming home late. At a time it was about money because anytime I go on errands for him, I will never bring back his change. The time I hated most was when he told me not to bring female friends home, the highest reason was women are bad. So I was desperate to know whats really bad in them. Son my father was right, but he never told me this I want you to know. He used the wisest book (Bible)to teach me but I did not understand the reason behind those wise sayings(Revelation) so I could not lay hold of the truth he wanted me to know.

Son, I want you to know that, a time will come that you will feel love, at this point don't just love with your heart also learn to love with your head, it becomes natural for you to have urge for sex at that point. Don't condemn yourself, all you need to do  is to subject yourself. All my life I was made to believe that a woman's honour is her virginity, I grew up to cherish that, but son I never knew that a man too can be a virgin. Your virginity as a man naturally makes you have reference before God, it makes you intellectually sound. Son this is what I want you to know, a man too can be virgin.

My son harken to my words and you will not ponder the path of destruction. Your virginity will deliver you from the snare of the evil woman, it will deliver you from what has slain many kings. Keeping your virginity will make you preserve your strength for better things, your virginity  is your  strength. Son, there is a way that seems right unto a man but the end therefore leads to death. I will not forget to tell you of three things that influences a man, and determines his end

1. The people you walk with
2. Your stands
3. The company you sit with.

At your tender age, if you can manage the three above you will be like a tree planted by rivers of water, your success will be without season.

If you can live life with this consciousness, I can assure you that you will be satisfied only by the breast of the wife of your youth, at old age her breast will still satisfy you, her beauty will not age. Because you married her not from selfishness, but from a disciplined heart.

                         Love From Daddy,
                             Pst Gaga.
                           

Nigeria of My Dream.

O God of creation
I believe in your recreation
Perfect Your purpose in our nation
For our noble course a better direction

I believe in this I have seen
A land so green
Leaders leading right
For my nations good they fight

The Nigeria of my dream

Stitched as a seam
Government working as a team
I see terrorism as history
Our youths people of honesty

The Nigeria of my dream

I see light yonder
No starvation and hunger
No bomb blast, no kidnapper
I see a nation stronger

The Nigeria of my dream

Like a dream it seem
But our today will be a film
Unemployment will be a tale
Which I will tell when am stale

The Nigeria of my dream

I see a generation
That will combat corruption
Cure unemployment
Put a stop to underdevelopment

The Nigeria of my dream

I see better polity
That will bring our nation to quality
We will attain lofty height
And there will be no fight

The Nigeria of my dream

GARBAGE TRUCK

Its Friday and its also a busy day, everybody hustling and bustling to meet up with one appointment or the other, people walking fast, drivers driving fast. There's this sense of weekend by the corner, so all that needs to be done should be done.

The Heavyweight Champion.

Its not what you lost that counts, but what got lost in you when you loose what you lost.

Too many heavyweight champions are out of the ring because they can't go back and claim their championship, they have occupied their thought with the victories of the past and they forget that defeat is a temporal thing that gives you the opportunity to sharpen your skills and your do-ability.

Dream-Ability and Do-Ability

An empire not built in the mind, can't be built in reality.

It takes mental proposal to have actual disposal. Not to see it with your mind eye, is not to handle it with your hand. What somebody called mountain and rocks another  called railway line. Where someone called a forest another called Disney World.  A project that was rejected is what gave birth to Honda. A man saw a world of communication without wires and they told him that he was mad.

L-O-C-A-T-I-O-N

Everything you want to buy, have a place where you can buy it, irrespective of its quality or quantity. We may both want a particular kind of good, from the same manufacturer, in the same package and of same quality but we may end up buying it at different prices. Why? Its where we bought it.

LOVE

Bearing peoples excesses, believing in people irrespective of their betrayals, having hope in the future of people irrespective of their past and present failure, and enduring people even when they don't deserve it, is a sign of undying love.
1 Corinthians  13:7

Most times its not the people that have problem but you.

You don't treat people based on who they are, but based on who you are. Don't love because people are loveable, because sometimes they are, but because you are loveable.
Good night.

Work, work, work.

Your head is up and your pocket is down because, money flows from your head to your pockets.

If you don't work nothing works

Too many work hard, very few work smart.

The people working hard earn little, those working smart earn a lot.

The people working hard exert physical strength to get things done. Those working smart exert mental power to get things done.

Those working with physical power get old and wrinkled. Those working with mental power get fresher and younger.

Those working hard with physical strength live in bitterness, and they die quick. They retire them on time

Those working with mental power live long and even leave inheritance for their children.

Your enterprise determines your price.
Great week.

THE ORPHAN SPIRIT

THE ORPHAN SPIRIT

Ever since Adam and Eve were alienated from God the Father in the Garden of Eden, an orphan spirit has permeated the earth, causing untold damage! (By “orphan,” I am referring to a sense of abandonment, loneliness, alienation and isolation.) Almost immediately after the fall in Eden, the fruit of this orphan spirit resulted in jealousy, culminating in Cain murdering his brother Abel because God the Father didn’t receive Cain’s offering. To make matters worse, in contemporary society, with the breakup of the nuclear family, large amounts of people are not only alienated from God but are brought up without the loving care and security of their biological fathers.

I believe all of the emotional, physical and spiritual ills of society can be traced to humans feeling alienated from God and their biological fathers. Orphaned men have a hard time connecting to their spouses, their children, those in spiritual authority and their supervisors, and they have a hard time accepting and loving themselves. There are presently millions of incarcerated men who are acting out lives of violence and rebellion because their earthly fathers abandoned them. There are churches filled with pastors and leaders who use people and destroy relationships because they are driven to succeed, and it’s due to their need for a father’s affirmation—which is a hole too large for ministry success or performance to fill.

The only way to break this orphan spirit is for people to be filled with a sense of the Father’s love for them in Christ, which then enables them to become mature sons who serve God out of knowledge of His undeserved grace instead of trying to earn the Father’s love through performance.

The orphan spirit is perhaps the greatest curse on the earth today. It will take spiritual parents with great spiritual depth and authority to break and reverse this curse to perpetuate a generational blessing. Only when a person is healed of fatherlessness through the love of God is theorphan spirit broken so they can begin the process of entering mature sonship. Sonship is so important that all creation is presently crying out for the manifestation of the mature sons of God (Rom. 8:19)!

The following 11 traits contrast the orphan spirit from the spirit of sonship:

1. The orphan spirit operates out of insecurity and jealousy. The spirit of sonship functions out of love and acceptance.

Those with an orphan spirit are constantly battling jealousy and insecurity, since security originates in a secure relationship with our parents. Those with an orphan spirit are so insecure, they even have a hard time hearing a biological or spiritual father praise their siblings or co-laborers. But those with the spirit of sonship are so secure in the Father’s love and favor that they’re content to serve in any capacity needed, whether or not they are in charge or celebrated in the process.

2. The orphan spirit is jealous of the success of his brothers. The mature son is committed to the success of his brothers.

Those with an orphan spirit are happy when their brother fails because it makes them feel good about themselves. On the other hand, those with the spirit of sonship joyfully commit themselves to serve, celebrate and help their brothers succeed, since they don’t work for human accolades but out of a deep sense of the love and affirmation of Father God.

3. The orphan spirit serves God to earn the Father’s love. The mature son serves God out of a sense of divine acceptance and favor.

Along these lines, those with an orphan spirit are constantly striving and trying to earn the Father’s love through accomplishment in ministry or career. Those with a spirit of sonship already know they are accepted in Christ and serve others out of the abundance of this acceptance.

4. The orphan spirit tries to medicate its deep internal alienation through physical stimulation. The mature son walks in the joy and presence of the Lord for comfort.

Those with an orphan spirit are constantly trying to push down their sense of alienation, loneliness and lack of self-worth through constant work, going from one relationship to the next, physical gratification and a life of narcissism and self-indulgence. However, the more they indulge, the more addicted they become and the larger the hole in their heart becomes because only the love of the Father can fill the deep emotional needs they have.

Those walking in sonship bask in the presence and love of God and practice the joy of the Lord continually as their source of strength because they understand that grounding their security and self-life in anything other than God is like trying to build a house on sinking sand.

5. The orphan spirit is driven by the need for success. The Spirit leads the mature son into his calling and mission.

Many attempt to accomplish great things to satisfy the deep yearning in their hearts for their father’s approval. This results in them being driven to succeed instead of being led by the Spirit. Even many leaders get their churches into huge debt to build huge buildings, driving the people around them because they are blinded by their own innate feelings of inadequacy. They think they can feel good about themselves with great accomplishments.

Only those with a strong sense of sonship will allow the Lord to direct them and bring opportunities to them without trying to drum up their own success.

6. The orphan spirit uses people as objects to fulfill goals. Mature sons serve people to bless the kingdom.

Those with an orphan spirit tend to use people as objects to accomplish their goals. Whenever we objectify people, we manipulate them with words threats, and anything necessary to have our way and control them. Mature people who walk in sonship don’t use people; they serve and release people to fulfill their destiny in Christ.

7. The orphan spirit repels children. The spirit of sonship attracts children.

Leaders and parents with an orphan spirit are constantly in turmoil, fighting and striving for their own way, which gives their spiritual children the sense that their leader is in competition with them instead of loving them. This results in repelling spiritual and biological children, which can forfeit influence over the next generation! Those who walk in sonship walk in the Father’s anointing and draw children toward them because their children hear the voice of a shepherd who cares for them.

8. The orphan spirit has anger and fits of rage. The spirit of sonship rests in the Father’s ability to control and guide the future.

Those with an orphan spirit have issues with uncontrollable anger, fits of rage and other forms of manipulation because they feel they must control others and their circumstances in order to fulfill their goals. This is because they lack the trust necessary in their heavenly Father to guide and control their future.

Those walking in sonship walk in the Father’s rest and have ceased from their own works so the Father can have His way in their lives.

9. The orphan spirit is always in competition with others. The spirit of sonship is always blessing others.

Those with an orphan spirit are always trying to outdo others in their church, family, business or denomination because they receive their identity through being better than everyone else. Those who walk in sonship are constantly seeing how they can bless others, since they already have the affirmation of God in their souls. They want to freely share His love with others.

10. The orphan spirit lacks self-esteem. The spirit of sonship walks in the love and acceptance of Father God.

Those with an orphan spirit have a hard time loving and accepting themselves. Those walking in sonship are filled with a sense of divine love and acceptance that enables them to walk confidently in the joy of the Lord in spite of the fact that all humans are sinners and fall short of the glory of God.

11. The orphan spirit receives its primary identity through material possessions, physical appearance and activities. The spirit ofsonship is grounded in sonship and the Father’s affirmation.

Those with an orphan spirit never have enough career success, material possessions, pleasure or illicit relationships to satisfy the hole in their heart related to their identity. Consequently, they are constantly striving to gain satisfaction through the use of various things or people in their lives. In many cases, even their form of dress—including an inordinate amount of tattoos, skin piercings and hairdos—can be their way of standing out as unique in a cry for attention due to a lack of self-esteem and fatherly affirmation.

Those who walk in sonship are so grounded in their divine Father’s affirmation that they can be satisfied serving in the background and can celebrate the success and attention others receive. The void in their soul has already been filled with the unconditional love of the Father.

In conclusion, the greatest gift known to humankind is to accept, receive and walk in the love of the Father, who so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that we may not perish or waste our lives away but experience the abundant life that only our divine Father can give.

The Greatest Teacher

THE GREATEST TEACHER
(Pr 30:24-28).

There are things ants will teach you that will boost your success more than your academic qualification will.

The following is the culture in ants colony.

1. THEY ARE QUICK AND ENERGETIC.

They are efficient in work, They are  tireless workers, they are not sluggish with their work. They are fast workers. They work with might, not minding who takes the glory, they start a project and will not rest until its completion,Eccl 9:10. These guys to my knowledge are hustlers. Small as they are they can build a skyscraper, they can pull things bigger than their size. They are adventurous, people with strength bigger than their size.

2. THEY DONT PAY SUPERVISORS

(Prov 6:7). These guys are sold out to their task that there is always something to be done. They don't need wipe or threat to work as it applies to a fool. They dont have to be reminded of their responsibilities this put them above sluggards, who must always be prodded to get anything done. Ants are creatures with inbuilt  conscience from God to work hard. If you are looking for the post of a supervisor this colony is not the right place, everybody is a worker here, they save more and earn more.

3. THEY WORK WITH FORECAST

keeps food in good time enough to sustain them in bad time (Prov 6:8). They store surplus rather than eat it all. In their wisdom, they even bite off the ends of grain kernels to keep them from germinating in storage. They also deny themselves of short term pleasure for long term prosperity.

4. ITS A COLONY OF TRUE BROTHERHOOD.

If one is moving something too large for it alone, others will help him get it where it needs to be. They are not selfish loners. They don't find food for individuals or do they find food for personal consumption, they work for the benefit of all. The success of the colony is the success of all. They don't have personal accounts or foreign accounts where they have reserve. The death of one does not stop them from working, they are so tied to themselves that they don't leave their dead, it must be carried home.

5. THIS COLONY DOES NOT EMPLOY SHORT CUTTERS AND DISCOURAGEMENT.

  Go through their dictionary, and you will find out that discouragement is not in it, When facing difficulties, they try again and again until they are successful. They will go great distances from home in order to find their food. They will get into houses, small holes, sugar can, and just about anything in order to find their food.

Consider the ways of these little people. These are their core values

a. Get busy

b. Do not love sleep (Prov 6:9-11; 20:13).

c. Hard work will do much more than talking (Prov 14:23), (Prov 28:19).

May your life count, in Jesus name. Shalom.
