Products Of Lack Of Peace Of God

Ngozi — Wed, 23 May 2012 01:00:13 +0000

Hi, Jesus loves you

How do you know when you lack the peace of God? What should you beware of if God’s peace is to remain intact within you? The peace of the Lord is the checks and balance of a glorious, fruitful and successful life. There are numerous signs or products of the absence of this peace. This article lists the signs.

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him – Daniel 2:1 (KJV)

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me – Psalm 38:8, 10 (KJV)

In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow– Isaiah 17:11 (KJV)

Peace is a state of being calm and quiet: a state of living in friendship with somebody without arguing or fighting- (Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary). It is also a state of having hope, being at rest and absolute trust on God.

Therefore, it is important that you are quick to identify the products of lack of peace of God. This is because dealing with them promptly will prevent them from growing into more destructive products. God wants you to be free of these manifestations in your life.

Some of these products are inward manifestations, and would have eating up the victim before manifesting outwardly. That’s the reason why they must be identified early and dealt with as fast as possible.

The products:

1 Torments – mental suffering is an evidence that the peace of the Lord is absent in your life. God’s peace provides a soothing effect mentally.

2. Insecurity – Lack of confidence in God’s ability to protect makes you insecure. But the peace of God releases this confidence within you.

3. Sleepless nights – Sleep is always far from a troubled mind.

4. Absent-mindedness – When you are troubled and you dwell in the cause of it, you tend to be absent-minded.

5. Un-forgiveness – It is difficult to forgive someone you still are not at peace with.

6. Fault-finding – When you are not at peace you tend to find faults in people and things all the time. Yet under normal circumstance, you would have overlooked the faults.

7. Irritation – A troubled heart is easily irritated.

8. Eating disorder – Some people resort to eating anyhow and uncontrollably when the peace of God is absent, not knowing how else to solve their problems

9. Anxiety – Evidently, being anxious expresses lack of the peace of God. It says that your challenge is not only beyond you but also beyond God.

10. Suicide – A peaceful mind will never think of suicide as an option or escape route from challenges.

11. Fear – Certainly, once fear comes, you lose your peace of mind

12. Immorality – Some people resort to immorality as a means of shielding themselves from their problems. Unfortunately, it never solves any problem, instead it compounds it.

13. Drunkenness – Some others try to drown their troubled mind with alcohol. Unfortunately, not only is it temporary, the alcohol ends up adding to their trouble.

14. Instability – Lack of peace of mind can lead to mental or emotional breakdown. You may find yourself doing one thing now and the next minute the very opposite thing.

15. Broken relationships – When you don’t have the peace of God, you wouldn’t be able to wisely to deal with any challenge that may come up. You need to be at peace within you before you can make peace with another.

16. Strife – Where there is no peace, you find strife.

17. Weakness – Strength fails when the mind is troubled. The energy and enthusiasm to achieve your goals are drained.

18. Depression – The peace of God keeps depression far from you. This is because you will have hope, joy and you will be free from anxiety.

19. Prolonged Sorrow – The peace of the Lord enables you to quickly overcome sorrow. Because what the enemy planned for evil, God can use to be a blessing to you and many others.

20. Unproductive life – Absence of peace will affect your results. Your spirit, soul and body will not work at their very best.

21. Failure – Ultimately, if something is not done, lack of God’s peace will lead to failure. This is because you will not be coordinated enough to achieve your goals or heart desires.

22. Lack of spirituality – Your prayer life and your desire to study God’s word will be affected. You will be more carnally minded than spiritually minded. Also, you will tend to make poor or wrong choices most of the time.

The peace of God is a very important virtue to possess if you are to enjoy life and success today. Absence of it will be very detrimental to you and therefore should be guarded jealously.

What other product of lack of peace can you mention?

7 Steps To Increase The Peace Of God

Ngozi — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:00:19 +0000

Do you want to live a fulfilling life? The peace of God is a catalyst for a fulfilled life. The more of God’s peace you experience, the more your life is fulfilling. This article gives the steps to increase the peace of the Lord.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord – 2 Peter 1:2 (KJV)

There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked – Isaiah 57:21 (AMP)

Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever] – Romans 8:6 (AMP)

The 7 steps

1. Be born again

Receiving Jesus as your lord and saviour is the first and foremost step to experience the peace of God in your life. Jesus is the carrier of God’s peace. Therefore, you can only have the peace of the Lord when you have Jesus.

2. Stand on your justified position

When you gave your life to Jesus, you were justified by faith. You were acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God through faith. As a member of God’s family it is your inheritance to enjoy the peace of the Lord. You need to stand in this exalted position in Christ and take possession of what belongs to you by faith.

3. Be spiritually minded

The spiritual mind is life and peace both now and forever. But the mind of the flesh goes along with it the miseries associated with sin, including lack of peace and ultimately death. Therefore, to live a fulfilling life you need to mind the things of God.

4. Increase your knowledge of God

You multiply this peace by learning more about God and Jesus, and what they are capable of doing. When you have the assurance that God will take care of you and all the issues surrounding you, you will experience more peace and joy within you. And you will live a fulfilling life knowing that God will help you every step of the way.

5. Be anxious for nothing

Anxiety is a sign that you are lacking the peace of God; that you don’t absolutely trust God. When you are anxious, you push God away from you. And you can’t have a fulfilled life without God. Anxiety-free life allows God to flood the peace of the Lord within you.

6. Be grounded in God’s love

A life rooted in the love of God is a life full of God. God’s love within you assures you the richest measure of God’s presence, which includes His peace. God’s love eradicates fear with its torments. But it manifests the peace of the Lord, leading to a fulfilled life.

7. Be a worker of good deeds

Being a doer of good things is one of the 7 steps to increase the peace of God. There is no peace for workers of wickedness. Peace is of God and what you sow you will reap. The wicked can’t sow evil and reap peace. Therefore, for you to enjoy the peace of God and live a fulfilling life, you need to constantly be a worker of good deeds.

In conclusion, you cannot live a fulfilled life without the peace of God. Everlasting peace is from God. The world is incapable of offering it. When you follow the above 7 steps to increase the peace of the Lord, you will surely enjoy this peace that money cannot buy. Start today and experience tremendous changes in your life!

LOVE OF GOD-CHANNEL FOR A PEACE OF MIND

Ngozi — Wed, 09 May 2012 01:00:56 +0000

Hi, Jesus loves you.

Peace of mind has really eluded many people today. Fear and anxiety of so many things, including the unknown, have taken the grip of human beings. The next minute, hour, day or month etc, has become a nightmare for the victims of troubled minds. But there is a solution to this challenge: the love of God. This article assures God’s love as the anchor for a peaceful mind
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love – 1 John 4:18 (KJV)

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus – Philippians 4:7 (KJV)

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints – 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest – Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

Many people are really troubled in their hearts for one reason or the other. Some have given themselves to drugs, alcohol, suicide and prostitution, in attempts to drown or run away from the overwhelming challenge. The truth is that they lack God’s fatherly love and peace of God, and so are insecure in themselves.

God longs to shower His love on you because He wants your heart to pant for joy and not for fear. He wants to take away your fears and carry your burden while you rest in His love. You may not believe it but God cares for you. He longs to grant you a restful mind and wipe away the tears from your eyes.

The love of God secures a peaceful mind. When you are enveloped with God’s love, you enjoy peace of mind as one of its benefits; fear and anxiety are totally eradicated; however, joy and peace become a normal way of life for you.

God is love and author of peace. The peace of God has the power to calm you down and give you a rest of mind, no matter the problem you may be facing. It is a force that you can’t really explain its mode of operation but you can experience its manifestation.

The love of God releases the kind of peace that the world can never offer. You will be at peace even when every other thing is in disarray. This is because you are assured that God will take care of all the problems for you.

Does that mean that you will fold your hands and do nothing? No, it means that your peaceful mind is in the position to receive instructions on how to handle the challenges facing you.

Now, you may ask, how do I secure this love? God’s love is available through Jesus Christ. When you receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and saviour, the love of God is shared abroad in your heart. You become eligible for the peace of God which gives peace of mind.

Paul, the apostle in the scriptures, enjoyed a peaceful mind even though he went through a lot of persecutions and trials. This was because he had Jesus as his lord. Also, John, one of Jesus’ disciples enjoyed this benefit of God’s love. He was able to receive the whole book of Revelations even though he was in exile.

In conclusion, fears, anxiety and troubled minds are sure to come, but you can protect yourself against them by securing the love of God. Sign for a peaceful mind by asking Jesus into your life today. And if you have done so already, believe in God’s love for you and see Him work wonders in your life.

So, are you experiencing God’s love now?

8 Benefits Of The Peace Of God

Ngozi — Wed, 02 May 2012 01:00:57 +0000

Hi, Jesus loves you.

What can the peace of God do for you? Human beings always want to know what is in a thing for them; what will be their benefits or profits before they agree on or do anything. If I go for this peace you are talking about, will it solve all my problems? Which problems will it solve? This post lists seven benefits of this peace plus 1 more

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid – John 14:27 (KJV)

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus – Philippians 4:7 (KJV)

The Benefits of the God-kind of peace

1. Good health - Many people are sick, some are hospitalized because they lacked peace of mind. This peace will give you a rested soul and body. It will keep away worries, stress, depression, high blood pressure and heart related diseases. This reminds me of my mother who thought it was her duty to worry over things. Unfortunately, she developed high blood pressure and died earlier than she should. We really miss her.

2. Positive mindset – People who enjoy peace are positive minded. They expect the best of things. They think positively of people and situations. They don’t get worked up, thinking that things will certainly go wrong.

3. Hope – The peaceful are hopeful and the hopeful are peaceful. When you are hopeless, you will become helpless. The peace of God is a powerful ingredient in building up your hope. You will know that everything will work out for your good and you will expect it to be so.

4. Build and fortify relationships – A peacemaker will always enjoy his or her relationships with others. Peace within you will manifest in your responses to issues. People will be drawn to you because they enjoy the peace that surrounds you: no tension or disputes over things. Being with you will be like medicine to their challenges plus 1 more.

5. Better working environment – Have you ever worked with someone who fights with everybody and everything? Not a place to be in, right? Such a person does not have peace of mind and is only venting it out on things and people instead seeking for help. But a peaceful person can help the troubled person and change the working environment. Peace is contagious.

6. Creativity – Peace enables one to be creative. The mind is restful, not crowded with worries and negative thoughts. A Peaceful mind is observant and very attentive. Ideas are quick to settle on a calm mind.

7. Satisfaction and contentment – It is very good to aim for better life, but only the peaceful will be able to be satisfied and contented with every level of progress, giving glory to God. Greed and peace don’t go together. A greedy person is never at rest because he is never satisfied.

8. Favour – A peaceful person is highly favoured. Everyone wants to be a blessing to person who never gives or entertains troubles. As long as it is within my ability, I will always go out of my way to help any peaceful person. Helping such a one will give joy plus 1 more satisfaction.

The peace of God is a must have virtue for anyone who desires to enjoy life and be successful in life. Lack of peace breeds undesirable ailments and circumstances. The good news is that God is ever ready to give this peace. It starts with salvation. Ask Him for it today, so that you can enjoy the above seven benefits plus 1 more.

What other benefits do you enjoy from the peace of God?

How To Build Quality Relationship – Part 2

Ngozi — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:00:44 +0000

Hi Jesus loves you.

Here is the concluding part of this post. Quality relationship really is a booster of success stories. Do read and apply to enhance your success. God’s grace is sufficient for you.

——————————————————————————

It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. – 1 Corinthians 13:5 (AMP)

Every success story starts with a relationship. You need people to be successful in life. The key to your success or failure is your ability to build and maintain quality relationship in all areas of your life. However, a word of caution here: no two persons are the same, everyone is unique. Therefore, it is important that you relate to individuals according to your knowledge of them.

How to build relationship of great quality

7 Learn the act of applying brakes

If you believe in that relationship you will not be in haste. Building quality relationship demands that you make some sacrifices, including sacrificing time, to really appreciate the person you are relating with. Applying the brakes will uncover certain traits in the person that will enhance success for you; that you will miss if you are in a hurry. And you will have a better opinion about that person.

8 Practice not judging others

Being judgemental is detrimental to any success story. No one enjoys being judged by others. You are human with both faults and good qualities, so also your friend, spouse, colleague, etc. By avoiding being judgemental in your daily life, you will attract comments, suggestions and ideas that will boost your success in life.

9 Practice true love

Quality relationships are built on the foundation of true love. Love that prefers another to oneself builds relationships that bring out the best in everyone involved. When you walk in true love towards your friend or spouse, etc, you provoke him or her into doing all he or she can do to increase your success story.

10 Learn to say NO when due

To build relationship of great quality, you need to know when to say NO and stick to it. Understand your place in that relationship. Don’t allow anybody to manipulate you: it will not enhance success for you. Setting limits in your relationships means learning to love and trust yourself. Someone who recognizes that you respect yourself will most likely respect you too.

Many people understand the power of relationship but lack the knowledge of how to use it to enhance their success story. Following the above steps will certainly set you on the right path. Really, it is possible to build quality relationship that will make you a success in life, but the responsibility is yours. Take right steps today and your story will be the next to be shared!

How To Build Quality Relationship – Part 1

Ngozi — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:00:36 +0000

Hi, Jesus loves you

What effect does your present relationship have on your success story? No relationship leaves you the same way: it builds you up or destroys you, determines your failure or success in life. Therefore, it is very vital that you know how to build quality relationship. This article aims to equip you with basic but adequate knowledge on how to do just that.

Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], and by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. – Proverb 24 (AMP)

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! – Proverbs 15:1, 23 (KJV)

How to build relationship of great quality

1. Have a relationship with God

First and foremost, build a relationship with God. How you relate with God determines how you will relate with your fellow human beings. A close walk with God builds you to be like Him: to think, talk and act like Him. A relationship with God is the foundation for any success story. Remember, God is the God of success. This outstanding world we are in is a proof of that.

2. Have an understanding Attitude

There is nobody you cannot relate with. All you need is an understanding attitude. It will help you to avoid any misunderstanding. A good picture of the person you are relating with will determine what you say, when and how you say a thing. Also, it will determine how you act before the person. Every relationship is to benefit everyone involved.

3. Be rational

Emotion, though important to relationships, needs to be balanced with reason. Too much emotion can distort your judgement and consequently your success story. When you balance emotion with reason, you tend to make fewer mistakes in life.

4. Acquire good communication skills

Communication is the bed-rock of any relationship. Where there is no effective communication, there will be no quality relationship. Develop good communication skills, most especially listening skills. In order to build relationship that will enhance success, you need to learn how to pass across information, feelings, etc effectively to another person. Let the person get the message as you do.

5. Be reliable

A strong relationship is characterized by reliability on the part of everyone involved. Be wholly trustworthy, predictable, honest, clear and reliable, but not naive.

6. Employ the power of influence

The power of influence is more effective and impactful than that of dictatorship. Watch your words. Don’t be coercive or forceful in your approach. Rather, be persuasive and likewise open to persuasion.

How To Build Quality Relationship – Part 2

Building Relationships For Success In Life

Ngozi — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:00:56 +0000

Hi, Jesus loves you

Have you ever been in a relationship that frustrated your life? Or are you in a relationship that is draining you instead of adding to you? For you to have success in life you need purposeful relationships that are well defined. This article discusses this major success key.

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend – Proverbs 27:17 (KJV)

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners – 1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV)

Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3:3 (KJV)

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour – Ecclesiastes 4:9 (KJV)

Relationship is the mutual dealings, connections, or feelings that exist between two parties, countries, people, etc: a business relationship.

Relationships in life are not optional; they are mandatory if you are to be successful in life. Building quality relationship is a success key that is very crucial and needful in realizing one’s goals and objectives in life.

One must then be wise and selective in building relationships. A wrong relationship can be devastating, heartbreaking, dream killing and vision-destroying. For instance, Abraham lost sight of God’s vision for him until he separated from Lot. God showed him the Promised Land only after Lot had departed from him. Also Rehoboam, King Solomon’s son, lost control of the entire nation of Israel because he chose to listen to his young friends instead of the wise counsel of the elders.

On the other hand, David’s throne was secured because of his relationship with Jonathan. Also, Elisha’s relationship with Elijah enabled him to achieve twice what his master achieved.

We can therefore conclude that relationships either make you enjoy success or failure in life. A wrong relationship is detrimental to progress and success in life. It can totally destroy your life and destiny; your gift, expertise and divine grace notwithstanding. Therefore, it is your responsibility to choose wisely, people of great value when building relationships.

God showed us an example of this success key to emulate during creation. God the Father worked together with the son and the Holy Ghost in creating this world that is most outstanding. God, the father, didn’t do it alone.

Genesis 1:26 says, ‘And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness…

Furthermore, God made man in His own image for companionship, for relationship. If God, the creator, needed to relate, then man needs to relate with his fellow human beings much more.

Three levels are strongly recommended for relationships in life for speedy, healthy and proven successful life

1. Relationship with a mentor

This is for the purpose of counselling.

There are always people who are ahead of you in your profession. It is wisdom to relate closely to one or two of them if you want to enjoy success in that profession. You will have the opportunity to learn from their wealth of knowledge and experiences. Also you can learn from their mistakes and failures.

2. Relationship with peer

This is for the purpose of sharing.

This level is very important for your growth. Whatever you learn from your superiors you share with one another. You tend to enjoy some healthy form of competition. Your peer’s achievement will spur you to work harder and to set and achieve higher goals.

3. Relationship with a junior person

This is for the purpose of sowing.

It is more blessed to give than to receive. Success in life demands that you make contributions to people’s lives. Someone needs what you know and have. When you sow, you prepare yourself for a bountiful harvest. It is an opportunity to climb higher

In conclusion you need relationships in life; a success key you can’t afford to put in jeopardy. No man is an Island. Human beings were created to relate with one another. We were made to complement one another. What one has, another does not have and vice versa. But it is your responsibility to chose wisely and qualitatively when building relationships.

The Best Easter Gift To Receive And Give

Ngozi — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:00:48 +0000

Hi Jesus loves you. Compliments of the season

What Easter gift would you love to receive on Easter day? Or what best gift would you love to give on that day? Gifts say a lot when given or received. Therefore, it is important that you make the best choice. This article tells you the perfect gift to receive and give.

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. – Romans 4:24`-25

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law….That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith- Galatians 3:13-14

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God- 1 Corinthians 1:24

Easter season is a time to remember the death of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins and His resurrection for our redemption and justification. It is time to examine ourselves and be sure that His death was not in vain concerning us.

Furthermore, Easter day is a time to celebrate our freedom from the oppressions of Satan. It’s a time to remind the enemy that we are free from his authority and to take back all that he stole from us. Our Lord, Jesus Christ paid the price for whatever we may have owed the enemy. Legally, he has nothing to accuse us of. The blood of Jesus has washed us clean. We have now righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

So what Easter gift can you possibly receive and give, that you will consider as the best gift? Jesus Christ! Yes, receiving Jesus as your Lord and saviour if you have not, and giving the same love to another person is the perfect gift for this Easter season.

Jesus is the answer for the world today. He brings peace, direction, wisdom and power of God, healing, prosperity and victory, to mention just a few. Jesus is the answer to that challenge you have or your friend has. Receive Him today and you will see the difference. Or share His love with that friend of yours and he will ever be grateful to God that you did.

Therefore, while others are looking for Easter gift to buy, look for whom to give this perfect gift. The good news is that it is free! Freely you receive, freely you give. Salvation is for everybody, including that horrible person in your neighbourhood. Jesus will turn him into the best neighbour to have.

What if they reject this free gift, you may ask? Don’t be bothered about that. Just share the love of Jesus with the person and leave the conviction part to the Holy Spirit. You would have sown a seed that may still yield fruit months or years later.

Are you still considering the best gift to receive and give this Easter day? Jesus is the best choice. He turns whoever receives Him into a new man, much to be desired.

Dear precious reader, I wish you a most glorious Easter celebration. God bless you.

Channel To The Top Most Level Of Success

Ngozi — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 01:00:47 +0000

Hi, Jesus loves you

Have you been struggling to make it in life? Is the top most level your target in your choice of career? There is a most authentic channel to use for you to enjoy that level of success. This article is about this unfailing channel.

A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men – Proverbs 18:16 (KJV)

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey – Matthew 25:15 (KJV, emphasis mine)

Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men – Proverbs 22:29 (AMP)

Your gift or talent is that most authentic channel that will take you to the top most level of success you desire. It is your in-born, God-given special ability. It is a natural endowment that God deposited in you to enable you to be outstanding in Life. You don’t struggle to learn it; you only develop and perfect it.

Many people are struggling and suffering because they are trying to be what they are not. Some may achieve some level of success in those areas but with so much stress, non-fulfilment and lack of peace. And yet, they will never get to enjoy the top most level of that field. They would remain in obscurity despite all their effort.

What is that thing you love working on, that puts a smile on your face and you will not be stressed even if you have to put on some more hours? What is that thing that you love sharing with others at any slightest opportunity? That you can talk about for ages without lacking what to say? That may be your gift! Everyone has at least one gift. You have a talent(s) that God has ordained to enable you fulfil your destiny.

You need to discover your gift, develop it and trade it for you to come to the limelight. When you diligently work on your talent, you will surely get to the top most level of success in that area. Though, it may not be as fast as you desire, don’t give up on it. It will certainly make room for you and bring you before those that matter.

Joseph had a gift of interpreting dreams. Though this special ability led him to slavery, it was still the channel that took him before Pharaoh. He eventually became the number 2 in command in the whole Egypt at that time.

Also David was a shepherd boy. He took care of his father’s animals, even as the last son. This natural endowment enabled him to be numbered among the great men. It helped him to successfully rule over the Israelites and he is still being remembered for it today.

Do not compare your gift with another. Your own gift is the most authentic channel to take you to the top most level of success. It may look small and unimportant but it has great potentials. Be diligent in trading it and you will soon get to the top.

Why drain your life and deny yourself of joy and peace trying to be successful in life? Discover your gift today and diligently trade it.

Have you discovered your gift? Please share with us.

The Power Of Giving

Ngozi — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:00:20 +0000

Hi Jesus loves you.

How much of the giving power do you have? The wisdom of giving cannot be over-emphasized. How disposed you are to giving determines your level of prosperity. A giving person will always enjoy a prosperous life. This article gives the relationship between giving and a prosperous life.

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty- Proverbs 11:24 (KJV)

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again – Luke 6:38

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive – Acts 20:35 (KJV)

The world system says hold back as much as you can but God says give as much as you can if you want to prosper. This is most common in the area of finances. But I am happy to point out now that the world is learning to adopt God’s own principles for a prosperous life.

All round prosperity can never be complete without giving. The more you give the more you receive. What you make to happen for another, God will make to happen for you. Certainly what you sow, you will reap.

What can you give? You may be saying now, that you don’t have to give. But you do! You can give love, your time and energy, money, your knowledge and skill, hospitality, your possessions, etc. So, can you see what you can give now?

The power of giving never leaves the possessor empty. He is the first beneficiary. The benefits are enormous and encompass the spirit, soul and the body of the individual, which results to prosperous life. For example, you have joy when you share whatever you have with another. When you put a smile on someone’s face, you inevitably do so also on your face.

It has been proven that if you are depressed and you go and help another depressed person, your spirit gets lifted too. Also, when you share a useful knowledge or skill, you tend to learn more. Furthermore, when you help anyone in need, God sends help to you when you are in need too.

It is more blessed to give than to receive. You don’t wait to receive first before you give. No! You have to initiate it first. A farmer does not receive any harvest before he plants his seeds. One thing is certain; your harvest will be more than your seeds.

Consider our father, the God almighty, He gave His only son Jesus and He reaped and is still reaping multitude of saints. Also, mother Theresa gave love and reaped among other things joy, honour and fame. Again, Bill Gate gave his time and knowledge and reaped a lot, financial prosperity inclusive. The power of giving is amazing!

Furthermore, my mother offered our house to many people for different reasons and when we, her children, needed accommodations, people were eager to offer their houses to us. In addition, I derive joy and fulfilment sharing my knowledge by writing articles and publishing them. When someone is blessed by them, I get blessed too.

A prosperous life is impossible without the power of giving. You don’t have to go far to give what you have. That person near you needs it. Receive the giving grace today.
