Your Choice Today.

You have a choice everyday you wake up to choose what you  will focus on. you can focus on what's working in your life or what is not working in your life.

I've learnt that focusing on what's working in your life at times solves whats not working in our life.

Focusing on whats wrong in your life, doesn't bring solution in most times, it causes more fear more anxiety, worry, and limits you.

You got to train yourself to Focus on what's working in your life,the society trains us otherwise everything around us, in Media you will only hear of murder, diseases, economic crises, demonstration, suicide, strike.

What if the Nation today would focus on the fertile land we have in Kenya, the minerals we mine, the attraction sites that brings thousands to our country, the good health facilities, our culture, our businesses

This would be a totally different Kenya

Its time we develop the habit of focusing on the positive things.

Your potential is trapped inside of you, you've not met the best of you. you can only be better than you have ever been.

Remember our last post? Happiness.  focusing on whats wrong with and in your life robs you your happiness.

choose this day to Focus on whats working in your life.. blessed week ahead.

Happiness

Three simple questions for you today.

1.Are you having a good day?
2.Why are you having a good day or why are you having a bad day?
3.Would you rather have a good day or a bad day tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow? next week?
The last question is the easiest coz I know everyone would want to have a good day everyday. am yet to meet anyone who would like to have a bad day any day.

We have a good day when we are happy, and a bad day when otherwise,

Whether we are having a good day or not depends on how we answer question 2. remember? why are you having a good day or a bad day.

The mind is like a balloon in the wind. its blown by external circumstances.

When things are going well in our way we are happy, but when things aren't working our way the happy feeling disappears. this way our happiness is on other peoples hands or in the circumstances around us.

If you wish to have a good day stop outsourcing your happiness from people and circumstances. stop attributing happiness to what is happening externally. and stop blaming others for unhappiness.

as long as our happiness depends on other people or circumstances it will always be unstable.

Cultivate a source of happiness and peace from inside  (your mind),

Happiness and unhappiness are states of the mind their real cause cannot be determined from outside the mind.

If your mind isn't peaceful you'll find it impossible to be happy.

Isn't what happens that makes us happy or unhappy, its how we respond to what happens. our state of mind determines our happiness or unhappiness

one sure way of cultivating the stable state of mind irrespective of the external factors is through MEDITATION.

meditation - is  concentrating on a peaceful state of mind, focusing on the positive state , learn to do it all the time.

Joshua 1:8 do not let this book of law depart from your mouth, mediate on it day and night, that you may be careful to do everything written in it and you will be prosperous an successful in everything you do.

God didn't add  war horses or soldiers neither empowered Joshua with atomic bomb to fight his enemies, He knows the power of meditation. The Word of God that reminded them of
His presence with them,
their promises,
their past victories,
they would never turn back.

they were not affected by what was happening around them, their enemies coming against them, the Word of God had transformed and renewed their mind. they held their peace. can we say they were happy? of course.

tap into the potential peaceful state of mind.
one sure way is through the WORD of God, it brings peace.

Act 10:36 "The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--

2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

Peace is multiplied when you have the knowledge of God, through His Word of course.

Be happy always.
Blessings to you.

Men of different spirit

       Is lion the smartest animal in the jungle? I guess the snake is more canning. The Heaviest? I over heard hippo is about 50-times heavier than the lion. Is it the fastest? ooh No, cheetah beats it in a race. You know it isn't the tallest, giraffe is. but what makes it the King of the Jungle?

    Something that cannot be seen with naked eyes makes it stand out, its impossible to assume the lion, whatever makes it the king of the jungle beats height, wisdom, strength, speed name it. it cannot be compared with what the lion possess..

    I'm amazed that even God the creator of heaven and earth, likens Himself to a Lion, The LION OF JUDAH, and this makes me desire to understand whats in a lion, He created me in His own Image and likeness, I have to learn whats in a lion.

    When a Lion meets an elephant, what does it see? isn't it afraid of height? weight? size? I guess so.. but it sees "lunch''. It isn't intimidated by its size and height, or anything that the elephant possess.
within itself it says this a good lunch for my family..

    On the other hand the elephant looks at the small cat and sees an "eater" it believes so much that its lunch to the small cat.. and so it becomes. as a man thinks ...?.... so he is. its scriptural..

    The difference between the two animals is how they think, or rather their attitude.. the smallness or greatness we feel comes from within us, the outside factors triggers the inner greatness or smallness, irrespective of how advantageous we are until we change our attitudes we remain limited to what we think and believe.

    There were these twelve guys sent by Moses to spy the promised land for forty days and bring back the results. that's in Numbers 13.. they came with fruits of the lands. here is a report of ten of the twelve spies

   Num 13:27- And they told him, We came to the land to which you sent     us; it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. yet the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there(Giants).
Verse 30: But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and occupy it; for we are well able to overcome it." 31: then the men who had gone up with him said "we are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."

   I ask ain't the Elephant stronger than than the Lion? it is. but the Lion maintains the attitude its well able to get lunch out of it.
     Maintain your positive attitude. The main thing is what you believe. Your attitude. You are well able. isn't about your strength, do you believe you can do it? get it?achieve it? do you have faith? you can make it. irrespective of all your flaws you don't have to be intelligent, strong, educated, fast learner, just change your attitude.

   This what God says about Joshua and Caleb who believed they would possess the land. all the others wouldn't make it to the promised land

    Num 14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring to the land into which he went and his descendants shall possess it.

    You are created to dominate the earth even the jungle, you better be better or rather have a better attitude than the lion haha..

     Desire to be a man of different spirit/attitude.
     Blessings.

A Mother's wish and God's Will

This post might bring a lot of arguments. but either way take time to read, think through and its my prayer that God will speak to you through it.

God's intention for marriage isn't only for us to feel good or complete as some say it, but also to raise a godly offspring. though I have realized you can't blame your parent, for raising you the way your are, you have to appreciate the far they've brought you. Whether they left you to your grandma that's what was best for you at that time. they wanted the best for you..of course not all of them #stop complaining, stop trying to figure out,it happened you can't change anything much. #carry it from there you know what you didn't like about your background, change for your generation.

God's plan for you ain't based on your background, isn't determined by your parent, neither your brothers or sisters, but by God himself. lets see 1st Samuel 1, Hannah needed a son, she didn't know what to do with him after he came.. Abraham even at old age desired a son, you will agree with me apart from the pleasure that comes from being called Daddy or Mummy. no plan literally for their son. you do not have a plan for your child, you ain't sure of what you will do with him or her, don't worry no one has a plan, even your parent didn't have one for you. By plan I don't mean taking the child to school, university, getting married and raising their kids, No I mean the plan of the route taken by an individual to achieve their purpose here on earth.

God is committed to your destiny, whether you arrive there is up to you, He made you, placed you here on earth for a purpose, He wants you to succeed but He never violates the will of man, its all up to you to discover His will for you. its good, right and perfect Will for you.

The society as I stated in the previous post doesn't give a good environment for one to realise their purpose, it doesn't believe in you,to the society success is going to school, getting employed, married and raising your kids, am sorry but that's not what God made you to be. Your purpose is bigger than you, it impacts generations after you, Its bigger than your abilities, demands more than you can give, its divine. until the society thinks you are nuts you've not started your journey to your purpose.

Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may know the right, good and perfect Will of God. that's scriptures Romans 12: 1-... there are patterns in this world, that we think are the norm, for everyone here, but listen and listen carefully, your life, your purpose is completely different from mine, you cannot live your life the way I've lived mine. two of the seven unique things in every human being is history and experience, be renewed in your minds. you are unique, with a different Mission that require different history and experience.

Nobody is better equipped and experienced to achieve what God designed you to achieve than you are. You are the best in it!! you better believe.

The tasks comes in when you have to discover what God designed, prepared and ordained you to be, the knowledge of His will, Proverbs says seek knowledge as silver and gold. One of author says two important days in a man are the day he was born and the day he discovers why. the answer isn't with your parent, neither hidden in your past experiences and history, nor in the society. its simply with your Maker. let your mind be transformed: transformation comes through the WORD of God, and you shall discover the Will of God for you. He knows why you are here, He have been watching you all through to ensure He (through you) achieve what He desired, that good, right and perfect will.

I'm speaking to you, because its about you and you purpose, irrespective of your age, not anyone else, look at Haggai and her son Ishmael, in the desert, the Bible says, God heard the prayer of Ishmael and answered. right? it Isn't your Mum or Dad, your husband or wife, your mentor or priest Pastor or whoever, to stand in the gap for you, to discover for you. NOooo.. Its you to go out of your way, and discover His will for you. " study the Scriptures, Pray, Fellowship, Testify, and Serve. meditate on His Word, seek Him, " He is a rewarder of them that seek Him diligently.

Our Original Focal Point..

The society we are living in has a lot of limitations. It doesn't allow us to do it our way, we cannot introduce a new way of doing things, there already exist plans of how its supposed to be done. plans that have not worked for centuries the only thing we know is one way that it won't work.

we are soo much afraid that our children will make the very same mistake we made. we caution them out of fear not knowledge. we don't give them solution by just telling them how we didn't make it. they only know one way it can never work but never a single way that it can work..

Opportunities were there for us to learn we lived the same life, similar challenges, but were soo mean we couldn't learn for our unborn children. I don't blame them blame your  ignorance during your time..

You never care to look back and check where you erred. life is yours let the rest mind their own business. you press on and ignore that lifetime lesson.
you think its over? its not over..
it has come around.. surprised? what goes around .....
the same timid child you were its with the same timidity and  ignorance that you will guide your kids.
Your son cant dare ask how you handled relationship at your time. He's very convinced according to how you treat mama nothing good can come out of you. 

you're even ashamed to face him, you learnt nothing.. your actions questions how you got mum into the "box".. you can't afford to be ignorant at this time and age.

What did you learn at this stage.? how did you start your very first business, what awaits me ahead? the kids will always wonder, but no where to turn to for counsel...  ooh social media, the media is all over to teach them...  you ain't even sure how you managed through it yourself as long as you managed it was none of your business. its your sons business today, claiming all your lifetime investments.

Information is power and power is in knowledge. the days that we lived in ignorance are far gone.

Brace yourself as a man a mother and talk to your children, help them acquire knowledge, sacrifice to pay for their seminars, those educational camps, you got to invest in your son and daughter..

Above all
Teach your children the Word of God, and they shall not depart from it. you no longer have to worry soo much about the decision they make, they will walk with the right people, stand on the right path, seat with the right people. and make the right choices. just cultivate in them the discipline of studying the WORD. - the ultimate counsellor

Psalms 1...... But his delight is in the book of law on this he meditates day and night He shall be like a tree planted by the streams of rivers that produces fruit in its season and whose leaves doesn't wither, whatever he does prospers...
...
.......
the LORD watches over the way of the righteous..

The LORD will watch over you kids point them to God. there they are secure, you cannot have all the answers to their questions but God does.

Chose this day to help your kids, brothers and sisters make the right choices. point then to the original focal point.. "Image point ".
