Never Settle For Less

DAILY VITAMIN
 Sometimes, on noticing your routine actions, you'd realize that you may often believe that even if it's going to cost the earth's rotation round the sun for you to get a miracle, then what the heck, let it be. You might also realize that your faith also throws you off limits to command all protocols assuaged just for you to get all you need at the moment. A long time ago, if that happened i would think we were insanely proud, but now that i've learnt that it was genetically passed on from our spiritual Father, then i consider it a plausible trait for all believers. Therefore, it's not our fault, we picked it up from Jesus Himself. Looking at the fig tree, even though He knew it was out of its season, He yet expected a produce from it at least for His personal consumption (Mark 11:12-14). Jesus was well aware it was off season for figs production, still He felt He was too special to be treated in the same manner as natural beings by that tree. He believed that God has provided His every need for every moment, and that it was displayed in His attitude and approach towards getting His desire. Many may argue that this was a concept based on pride of personality, but No Jesus showed us the way. It is more than just the pride of personality but the known right and privileges of personality. Wasn't God the One who promised we would never go hungry or thirst, Jesus drilled that tree to see that promise fulfilled, and when it didn't, it ceased to exist. Thus, as christians we carry a peculiar personality- one that God values gently as the apple of His eyes. So, even if everyone is passing through a recession because of the economic downfall, we have a promise that says we mustn't. The Children of Israel were in Egypt, yet while the whole of Egypt was covered by darkness, every place an Israeli placed his feet had light on that path. We have been called to be different- to react differently, to be acted on differently, by the covenant that was sealed with blood. However, it might not completely appear so now based on the challenges and persecution we are entangled in, yet refuse to let your face get downcasted, because in due time, all your believing and privileges will surface as true in a flash. Hence, know that you are different. Others may be given ultimatums, but as for us through Christ protocols are broken to relieve us of such ultimatums. We are new creations, and as such we must carry new reactions and bear new fruitions- one that assures that despite the rigidity of human protocols, with God all things are possible, even living above the very laws of human protocols. The power and the grace that gives access to the greater than these promise has been made available by His death, and only by believing does it truly have a presence in our lives. Make the best of it, and in process make God proud!

Giving Generously

-
DAILY VITAMIN  There is a difference between giving and giving generously. Generosity is more than just how much you give, but how hearted you do. What makes the poor fellow rich in the sight of God is how richly he gives even though in need himself. Richly, not in terms of quantity or even quality, nor quantifiable mass, but richly based on how much from the heart it is given. Was the heart rich in compassion, God's love and mercy as it gave? Or was it full of egotism, self-pride and every trait that makes him believe it is all in his power? Remember, a broken heart and a contrite spirit[full of the first traits], God wil not despise (Ps 51:17); and as long as there is a willingness of heart and readiness of mind[spurred by genuine love], it is acceptable towards God (2 Cor 8:11-12). This is why God isn't just crazy in love with any giver, but a cheerful giver. One whose givings start from the heart outward. One who first gives with the heart and reflects it by his hands. Tha

See It God's Way

DAILY VITAMIN - See It God's Way "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)     Have you ever noticed how at some point in your life when everything seemed to be going AWOL, then all of a sudden something great came out of it all? At least I have seen it happen without number in my life and others'. Well, that's exactly what God does for a living- turning bitter sources into a spring of life.     Just like most of us, one man who had a myriad of experience regarding this has to be David. David once said that he would have fainted if he hadn't believed to see God's goodness in his life. And went ahead in advising us to wait patiently for all God has promised regardless of what we are currently going through (Psalm 27:13-14). And believe me, he knows what he was talking about.     For instance, David had been told he had been chosen by God to

Desist From Rash Decisions

DAILY VITAMIN Decisions made out of anger or envy are not only self destructive, but they also affect the attitude of those we seem not to desire their hurt. For instance, when the sons of Jacob conspired to kill Joseph, to them it was the perfect way to get rid of the 'big dreamer' that made them all look like vision-less fellows, and had taken their father's affection from them; so they took it upon themselves and agreed that they were totally correct in their intended evil action. After they had sold him and feigned his death, they might have believed it had all ended, only to be shocked with the countenance of their father, thereby sentencing themselves to a lifetime of grief and sorrows from the man they honored most- their father Israel. That alone was enough to prick their conscience until they were clouded with the mist of regret. They sought his attention for themselves, but all they created was a deficit to their own loss; thus causing more harm than what warran

Love Is Where Life Begins

DAILY VITAMIN What's the most important thing to you in life? Think for a while before you answer. And you can take as long as it takes. Alright! Are you ready now? Let's continue. In everything you do always remember that love comes before ambition. Most times we get so carried away in climbing the ladder of success that we fail to recognize and notice when there are hands stretching high for us to help lift them up. We so much pursue self-purposed desires that we miss those God sends our way to impact; not that they didn't show up, but that we failed to notice their arrival.  And guess what: Our silver lining of greatness in the sands of time and in the mouth of men is not built by the success we built for ourselves, but by how much success we attained in imparting and influencing people. Any achievement of ours' that has no positive impact on others isn't labeled success, but a self-fulfilled goal; and that's why Mother Teresa wrote 'a life not lived

Actions Speak Loudest

  DAILY VITAMIN - Actions Speak Loudest “Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16 TLB) It was 4:30 p.m., sometime in late January 2015. The students were crowded en masse for Laboratory Practice registrations. Everybody was there; the sleek guys and girls, and the geeks as well. And also there was myself, and my very good friend Earnest. We were both members of the Christian Community on campus; but Earnest was the more vocal kind. Well, on this day, the hall was replete with students and the process slow, but eventually it got to our turn. The Registration Officer (R.O) requested for the required fee and documentation and thus signed me up; however when it was Earnest’s time to get registered, he failed to ask for the fee. Anyway, when we were both done with the process and on our way back home, Earnest softly indicated that we stop for a moment. As we stood there under the canop
