MIND YOUR BUSINESS

1 Thessalonians 4:12

 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
--------------------------------------------
We are surrounded by a cloud of people that either increase us or decrease us. One very good thing I have seen is that anybody can have any opinion about you. And any opinion can mean to fit you just according to how to take it to be.
The great people that have seen the best versions of their selves have been those that don't talk about others all day long. They have not been the people that sit around and discuss people. 
They are ones who mind their business.

Christ had a cross to carry. What would have become of Him if he discussed about the Pharisees all his life? Would he be motivated by the spirit of scripture if he minded the business of others. He was a person who had his schedule at hand. We see it in several verses how he did a task after the other. Mark actually summarizes the codes of conduct the Messiah had. He uses phrases such as soon after, immediately; to refer to how Jesus was a person of his business. 
He was able to accomplish all he was sent to ,just within the stipulated time.

Many of us never finish what we owe to finish just because we never mind our own business. People will come and tell you all the negative things that you wouldn't love to hear. They will come and heap abuses in you. They will intimate you . They will accuse you. They will mock the small start-up. But the first line of the scripture says make it an ambition to lead a QUIET life. Quiet means being deaf to those Ill words. Just move on.

Never mind what people say, they will always have what to say. Never mind what they do...you also have what to do. Speaking about others with all sorts of rumors means your emotions depends on others. Don't waste your time speaking about the success of others with demotivating attitude; you have your road to success. Rework all that is before you. Respect is achieved from such a quiet industrious spirit. What is in you is enough. Focus on your inner energies other than the frequencies that others produce. Focus on the roles that you are supposed to play. Mind your business. The best in you comes from the degree of focus on the inner self.

                    GOD BLESS YOU

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
