REWARDS

WORKAHAULIC :           REWARDS  1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. --------------------------------------------      Most people give up when they think there is no pleasure in doing something. The greatest element that drives the brain to work harder is when there is a promise of pleasure afterwards.  Working can be a stone in the shoe. You never complete tasks. Every day presents it's own task list which seems never to end and also seems repetitive. A dream can feel far and too big to tackle. And even after breaking things into small tasks, it all seems hanging without reason. In order to run in such a way as to get the prize, you have to master the ways to run. You must keep running. In most cases, the brain understands best with two elements. The first element is pain. And the brain can do all it can to avoid pain. It ...

EAT YOUR BLESSING

WORKAHAULIC :         EAT YOUR BLESSING 2 Thessalonians 3:7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. --------------------------------------------       Every time you enjoy free things you train your brain to want free things.  There is way we like to keep hands folded while seeing work accomplished and things ready. It is like how it feels to wake up early morning only to find all house chores done. We want someone to do the work. We want someone to care and provide. This is how you will see some brethrens who best identify as beggars.  What I have learnt is the habit of begging even when you don't necessarily have to limits the way God provides in your life. It is a way of suppressing your own ability to provi...

COPYCAT

WORKAHAULIC             COPYCAT Hebrews 6:12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. --------------------------------------------       The problem today is that certain systems have trained us to be self centered and that we need to own the results. They have trained our consciousness to think copying is wrong. That is why you see many people want to do their things alone. Build a business alone. It is one of the reasons you see so many informal businesses and too many shops in the same locality selling same things. And they are so much together that one shop is 2 meter wide and some are a meter wide. And no one shares with the other - strategy and how 'we all can rise'. Anyway it is lame that way, we break it trying to straighten the thing. So no big worries if you are there. Straightening your own is obviously possible.  Education system has tra...

GOLD RUSH

WORKAHAULIC                 GOLD RUSH 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” --------------------------------------------       Like the Olympics, where everyone sets out to race and everyone expects to be the winner, is the race in our economy. Every day we all wake up to win. We want to take part of the progress. We want to be part of the growth. In this economy, everyone seeks for the share of the golden age and wants pacification fast. The ones that know want their share right away. The ones that have realised the goodies work day and night to tap into the splendor. According to research and calculations, if global wealth were split equally, the poorest person would have roughly $34,000 to $40,000 in total assets (cash, property, investments). But who will surrender the results of their sweat and blood to bring equality. Even God w...

REALISATION

WORKAHAULIC                 REALISATION Genesis 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. --------------------------------------------      The story of Adam and Eve may sound so distant. It may sound a fairy story about creation and how we all came into existence. But there is a mirror that stands till this day. Adam and eve were naked for a very long time. They stayed and lived with God in such state. But they didn't realise they were naked. It was only one time that they gained wisdom and their eyes were open to see that they were naked. This is the mirror today, many people think they have enough yet they have nothing. Some people think they are wise yet still do foolish things. Some people think they are intelligent yet still cannot bring any value on table. Some think they are wealthy yet they don't have an...

BEAUTIFUL CURSE

WORKAHAULIC               BEAUTIFUL CURSE Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; ... --------------------------------------------     My youngest sister in her holiday is funny. It turns out that she does more cooking at such times. And she complains a little bit. "Oh...am so tired of these routines. I have to go to the shopping center to collect ingredients and food. I have to rush back home and see the fire. I have to wash utensils and prepare materials to aid in cooking. Starting to cook am already tired. The food takes 'forever to boil' ohhh." She complains. It takes a long time to prepare a meal which when presented on table for consumption, it is just a while. The meal that took 4 hours of preparation from the time of start to the end is eaten in 10 minutes. It is like we spend more time working than the actual time we take to enjoy the resu...

A HUNGRY ANGER

SON OF THE YEAR                     A HUNGRY ANGER 1Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. --------------------------------------------       Did you know that you are beautifully and wonderfully made? If you didn't know you should test this. You know beautiful and wonderful things are sought for and are fought for. Some countries have fought against others simply because of a gold reserve. Some countries have wanted to conquer others simply because of the mineral reserves that lie in those countries. They want the beautiful and wonderful things.  You try and see this for yourself this year. Make a gold reserve. The plans and all the strategies that you have laid for 2026 should be really good. They should be generously splendorous. They should be realistic and truly impactful. They should see light. Don't make what will n...

THE CREED AT THE THRONE

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

OMNIPRESENT

OMNIPRESENT Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. -------------------------------------------- One trouble that sets the pace of all other troubles is the fact that we draw in our minds. We may move through this world . We may encounter various situations. We may encounter various people. And of course we may encounter various challenges. What sets the pace for great challenges is thinking you are in singular. When a house is built on a single pole, it makes the house vulnerable to winds and rains. But the house that is built on various poles and support gives its inhabitants confidence of being safe from any form of disturbances. Even in those days, when they used send us for oil at a near by shop in the night, we had very strong fears. Of course you had to request for a torch for a company that you imagine will protect you.... though it lightens the dark black. Even with the light, you still feel afraid. But when we were sent in a group, there is...

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM   Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. -------------------------------------------- When a man came to ask Jesus where they could find the kingdom of God, Jesus replied to Him,"the kingdom of God is in you." Well, what kingdom thrives in human bodies.? There is away that may seem narrow but it is a path to the greatness of God. The things that the kingdom of God entails on are ,but a light luggage. Even within scripture, Christ said that those who are heavy weighed should come to Him and he will give them rest. That let them take His yoke , for His is lighter and good to bear. It would be obvious for him to help by taking our burden and never giving us any. But we make a trade with Him. He takes ours and we take His. His yoke is light. His yoke is the kingdom your are supposed to carry. You are supposed t...
