ATTEMPTING AND ACHIEVING GREATNESS
WOW!!!
Words are not enough for me to say a very big welcome to you all but will leave
you with this message “Attempting and achieving greatness”.
Many talk about being great but
they fail to take the steps that will lead them to greatness maybe because of
fears of some difficult circumstance, that they encounter but I want to tell
something that will lead you to your greatness THINK BIG,DREAM BIG AND ACT BIG.
For you to achieve greatness you need to think big and not only think big, dream
big and act big. I call them the three
B’s [3B]. For you to actually achieve greatness you must learn how to move on
in life, no matter what you face don’t give up. For there is time for
everything in life, a time so sow and a time to reap, a time to attempt and a
time to achieve. Take this to your heart;
“The
true nature of a man lies within but the circumstances
Take him away
from his real nature”
In attempting and achieve
greatness circumstances are bound to arise but be strong and courageous for God
will see you through it all.
Finally for you to achieve
greatness you must learn how to speak the mind of God and speak positive words
upon your life such as;
“Let there be greatness and there was me”
So go on and climb to the top,
welcome back to school and God bless you.

The
spirit of excellence
Bible text; Daniel 6:3
Then this Daniel was
distinguished above the president and satraps because an EXCELLENT SPIRIT was
in him over the whole realm.
“The spirit of excellence is not
taught, it is caught…. When you catch
the spirit of excellence, you stand out
of the crowd”
Christianity is not a life of
mediocrity, for the Holy Spirit himself is a spirit of excellence which
inspires excellence in all you do. Walking in excellence is giving the lord the
opportunity to express himself through your mind, words and actions: it takes
off the side walk of life and stands you amongst your peers. having the
consciousness that you have an excellent mind will make you a success in your
job, career, academics ,spiritual life e.t.c. excellence is the image of God
and if the spirit of Good dwells on the
inside of you it separate you and set you apart for life of strange manifestation. In our world
today, there exists a clash of ideologies and culture, but what would single
you out is the spirit of excellence.
OUR TEXT SAYS…. “Daniels was
distinguished above”, the president and satraps because an “excellence spirit
was in him….. It is clear that the spirit of excellence came after the
distinction. Nobody is ever thrilled with normal happenings. You never get a
DISTINCTION until you are DISTINGUISHED. So step out of the crowd and take
responsibility for our destiny because it is responsibility that makes you
responsible.
When you become a carrier of the spirit of
excellence, you enjoy certain favours some of it includes
Acceptability, respect, protocol
breaker, you become a treat favour e.t.c.
WAYS
YOU CAN ENGAGE THE SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE
Now you must understand that
anyone can afford a result but not everyone can afford a distinction. The
spirit of excellence does not start from the outside. In it starts from
inside-out.
BUT
DEVELOPMENT-there
was a reason why the 4 boys were selected amongst the country of Israel. They
had a smell of acceptability, they had knowledge, they were informed, look well
physically that endeared people to themselves. Daniel 1:3-5. Any person was Esther
she anointed herself with oil for one year and looked confident.
“When a
king refuses to look like one. He is mistaken for a servant”
Determination and separation---Dan1:8
they determined not to be defiled with worldly passion but concentrated to be
fed spiritually.
“if you don’t want to look like
every other person don’t act like every other
person”
SACRIFICE
DEPENDENCE ON GOD.

DEAR
PFM,
Christianity is not just another
pair of Prada shoes. Trust me. I know I have been a Christian long enough.
However, in as I understood what it means to follow God, I have been like a
switch off and on. But God has been faithful, he has.
Facing my fears {especially making
public presentation} was quite a challenge. The eyes, the large and little
eyes, though they are seated, darting at me from all corners of the room {or
more still when it is an auditorium
I felt that this fear was in
born .it just in my genes. I was sure, I tried, I tried to curtail it. Trust me
I did, but it just not pull through. Neither my thoughts nor speaking to the
crowd.
I needed to express myself, I needed to
explode owing to this, I swung into writing and it has been graceful ever
since. However, I soon realized that my life is about impact and the more I
live, the more I come to terms with the fact that I have within me 100 percent
heaven splendor undiluted.
So I simply believe God. I put my fears
behind me. Let myself to God so that by
the passing of the day, he takes the fear out of me.
My fears is too small to deny me the gift
of serving God and the opportunity to touch peoples heart for God according to
the grace he has granted me.
These are my thoughts and I
needed to share them with you today.
Warm
regards—JOSHUA

FAITH, TRUST AND HOPE
The villagers decided to pray for rain
On the appointed day everyone gathered
And only one boy came boy came with an
umbrella
That’s---FAITH
When you throw a baby in the
air, he laughs
Because he knows you will catch
him
That’s---TRUST
Every night we go to bed, we
have no assurance
Of waking up yet we plan
for the next day
That’s---HOPE
Lets us Christians learn to have
FAITH in God,
put our TRUST
in him and know that there is HOPE.

MESSAGE
Because you are in Christ,
you are Abraham’s heir, and you have an inheritance on your life. You are an
heir to the promise God made to Abraham. The Bible tells us, “The plans that God has towards us are good and not
evil, to give us an expected end” God has decorated us with everything we need,
but we stand in the way of manifestation of God’s plan for us when we err and
go out of Gods purpose for our lives. Since God has given us all we need, all
that is left to do is to go and get our inheritance and be the head and not the
tail, a lender and not a borrower, above, not beneath, and to exercise the kingly
person on the inside of us as the son of God (all knowing, almighty)
G V M C MESSAGE
GIRL ON THE SHELF
Don’t
think we have either had more expectations, hopes and dreams then now.
Practically, most people I know will leave in the next three months and face
the world and then others . . .
But
first before I start, I would like to welcome us all from the Easter holiday.
And to the final year workers in the house “SING FOR JOY” and to my friends and
well wishers (especially in the organized press crew) THE LORD IS WITH US. God
bless you all!
Now back to business, we the workers
as a whole are dealing on the topic \training workshop titled “SPIRIT OF
EXCELLENCE” using Daniel as a case study. A few months back I began the
chronicles of Daniel as a young boy of sixteen years. We talked about Daniel
and his friends’ service to God while serving king Nebuchadnezzar on the other
hand.
We also speak about king’s dream for
which God granted Daniel the favour to interpret. Then we moved on to get a
little hint about his relationship – He moved with people/friends with like
minds they had the same zeal to serve God no matter what will befall them (in
this care it was a life or death issue)
Then we went on to study these
powerful words MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN –its circumstances, meaning, result etc,
how God used these words to liberate his nation Israel from the tyrannical rule
of Babylon, subduing it and handing it over to Medes and Persia
Now we all here come a very long way
but have we leant the lessons of this young Christians, applying it to our lives?
You know most of us are no better than
they are but do we place God first? Or
is the reverse the case? Do we bemoan our fate? Or do we bless and pray for
those who despise us or do we dig pits for them to fall in? In fact what do we
do with our lives – in that situation – and between Sundays?
My beloved, you are at the helm of
your ship and I would ask you all this:
. . . Choose today whom you will serve
. . . But as for me . . . I will serve
the Lord
Stay blessed
HAPPY

IT IS YOU, ME AND THE TIMES
By Nnanna Ikpo
My king
My dearest king,
You know, sometimes I wonder
I can’t help but wonder
If life was empty
I mean ever so empty
Would I have ever smiled?
If you did not love me
Would the sun be yellow?
And the bright skies be blue?
My love,
My best friend, my God,
Your love makes me humble
Your wisdom
Makes me little
And your presence makes me small
But I love you
I really love you
My angel,
My morning
angel,
My savior and
friend
I know I am flesh
I know I am
weak
But you make me
stronger
You make me
right
And all my
worries
You turn to
excitement
Genuine
excitement
My love,
You my love
You make me complete
With you, I am perfect
In you, I am all I want to be
For you, from now (and its official) it’s just you, me and the
times. I love you Jesus.
THE
GREATEST MAN
The
greatest man in history is –JESUS
He
had no servant, yet they called him – MASTER

IF WE DON’T DO HIS WORK
WHO WILL?
NOW: READ THIS TWICE
Do not say it is not my
work, because once upon a time, there were these four persons named EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY,
ANYBODY and NOBODY. There was an important job to be done, and everybody was
asked to do it. Everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could
have done it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought anybody could do it but nobody realized
that everybody wouldn’t do it. So it ended up that everybody blamed somebody
when nobody did what anybody could have done.
Keep working for God
Happy workers day
