A new year is born...2009

For 9 months, a woman carries her unborn child. But on the 9th month, on that day and in that hour the contractions begin. The child is restless, it wants to be free!
Some hours later, the young one is born.

2009 is a new year, its a new beginning. For years there's a lot I've asked God for and I've seen some happen. But there's that one thing that i have asked and I believe that this new year is the year of DELIVERY!

Whatever you have hoped for , believe that it will be delivered unto you in 2009!

Every new year is a time to start over, a clean page has been placed before you. This year you have to draw closer to God more than ever. REKINDLE the spark in your relationship with him.
The world needs Jesus more than ever, HE is our rock and without him we have no foundation, we can't stand!
Let your prayer be a 'God-what-can-I-do-for-you-today?' list rather than a 'God-can-you-do-this-for-me?' list.

Revelations 21:5 - He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"




In starting over, remember to PERSEVERE.
Winners never quit and quitters never win so which are you going to be?
Always move on, never stop and give up. Each day push yourself a little bit further.
When the going gets tough and you feel you can't move on, that's a sign to go on your knees in prayer and tap into God's divine strength!

Finally Shed the excess Weight. (I don't mean that literally but it's not a bad idea to get exercising). I heard a Pastor preaching on this and the main point was that some relationships are toxic to you. they are pulling you back and keeping you from where you need to be. if you are in a relationship ( and i use this term loosely) where your dream is not CELEBRATED but suppressed...My God, you need to run away as quick as you can!

Look at this like this: an athlete is running a 100m race with 20 other athletes. All of them have trained hard and are very good. But this athlete strongly DESIRES to win yet he carries all the trophies he has won from previous races.
Its obvious that he is going to lose. The baggage is just too heavy!

That brings me to another thing- THE PAST. The past is one of the weights you have to shed this year.If you keep looking at the past, how do you expect to grab the future?



Let 2009 be the year of your success STORY!!
Happy New year to al you wonderful people.
God bless.

The meaning of CHRISTMAS


C- Christ

John 3:16 - for God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only son sop that whoever believes in hi may not be lost but have eternal life.

Christmas is Jesus Christ honoured and magnified in our hearts and lives.


H- Happiness

Luke 2:10 - then the angel said to them “do not be afraid, I am bringing you good news that will be a great joy to all the people.”


Happiness goes deep; it reaches the heart of man. This joy is found in Jesus Christ.



R- Redemption

Galatians 4:4-5 – but when the right time came, God sent his son who was born of a woman and lived under the law. God did this so he could buy freedom for those who were under the law so we could become his children


Christ came to save us from sin. That is why He was born into this world. He came to provide us with life and hope



I- Illumination

Isaiah 9:6-7 - A child has been born to us, God has given a son to us. He will be responsible for leading the people. His name is wonderful counsellor, powerful god, father who lives for ever, prince of peace.

Power and peace will be in his kingdom and continue to grow forever. He will rule as king on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom. He will make it strong by ruling with justice and from now on and forever. The lord all-powerful will do this because of his strong love for his people.

It is a time of illumination as we realize that Christ is the Son of God. A light has been lit, we have a father who can do all things!


S- Sacrifice Matthew 1:21 - And she will; give birth to a son, and you will name him JESUS because he will save his people from their sins.


To save lost humanity from sin demanded a blood sacrifice. Christ came to give Himself as that sacrifice that all who believe in Him might be eternally saved.



T- Triumph
Isaiah 26:3 – You lord, give true peace to those who depend on you because they trust you.

When we know Christ, we have the peace within, and what a mighty triumph this is over the afflictions and sorrows of life. There is great triumph in the message of Christmas, the result being the peace of God which passes all understanding. Christmas reminds us of the overwhelming victory wrought by Jesus Christ.

M- Mission

Luke 19:10 - that the Son of Man came to find lost people and save them


Christmas embodies the mission of the coming of the Son of God to provide salvation for all. What a thrill to know Christ!



A- Assurance

Micah 5:2 - But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are too small to be among the army groups from Judah, from you will come one who will rule Israel for me. He comes from very old times, from days long ago.


The prophecy of the little baby who was born into this world at Christmas was for him to become the ruler of the world. He will return to do this, not as a little baby rather He will be King of kings, and Lord of lords.



S- Submission

John 3:30, He must become greater, and I must become less important.

Christmas should be a time when every believer recommits his life to the control of Christ




***Merry Christmas**
with love,

7 Wisdom Keys

"Wisdom is the principal thing- Proverbs 4:7"


Everything we are pursuing is a product of wisdom



1.What you can tolerate you cannot change- you must hate the present to qualify for the future.

2.What you respect you will attract- to have respect for something is to value that thing. The things you don’t respect will move away from you.

3.What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. - Bless someone and go to God for the harvest. if you pay someone back because of what they’ve done for you then you’re limited by their ability and timing but Gods blessing has no limit.

4.The secret if your future is hidden in your daily routine. - if you succeed, it will be because of a habit.

5.Your rewards in life are decided by the kind of problems you are willing to solve for others. You will only be remembered in life for two things, the problems you create and the ones you solve.

6.If you insist on taking something God did not give you, he will take something he gave you. If you take back the tithe (10%), he will take back the 90%. Returning the tithe is acknowledging you have a debt because you owe everything to God and cannot repay the debt.

7.An uncommon seed will create an uncommon harvest. A seed is anything that has value; that can create more. Time, love, mercy-these are all seeds. Sow a seed today!

Dear God....Thank you for now

Dear God,


I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now.. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now.


I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now. I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles. I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.


I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.


"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song- Psalm 28:7"

..........................................................................................


It's so easy to forget what God has done or is doing because things are not happening or things don't seem as you would expect them to be. you know what, God is just so good, and he's good all the time. Just continue to THANK HIM!


The Lord is good all the time!
