Harsh winters precede pleasant springs.

Has God Given You a Vision?‘Write the vision and make it plain … that he may run who reads it.’ Habakkuk 2:2When God gives you a vision for your life, write it down, keep it before you at all times and run with it. You say, ‘But I see no way for it to come to pass.’ The Bible says, ‘The vision is yet for an appointed time … wait for it; because it will surely come’ (Habakkuk 2 v. 3 NKJV). You may not know how to get from where you are right now to where the vision will ultimately take you - but God does. So ask Him to reveal the next step to you. Whether you’re in prison like Joseph, in a soup kitchen in the inner city, or at home taking care of small children, God will fulfil the vision He placed in your heart. The more you see yourself leading in the boardroom, launching your own business, serving in ministry, writing your first book, or helping others through your gifts, the sooner it’ll become a reality.

Have you ever asked yourself, why is it that the bible is real when other people ask you to open it? It is not the money in your bank account that kept you alive but the word of God. There is power in the word of God. Don't just carry your bible, do something with it.

How do we know those who are on the Lord's side? My answer: when things happened adversaries, those who stand by God becomes Testifiers. I testify that the Lord is good, I don't know about you.

How do you feel when you want to stand, and you see yourself on the floor? Sometimes what God will ask you to do will knock you down. What do you do when God says rise, and He pushes you down? How do you feel when very many will become I alone? How do you feel when all the people you told your secrets sale you out? How do you feel when your confidant becomes your betrayal? How do you feel when the person you thought will push you forward told you, I know you will fail? Do you still remember that the bible says that not even a hair will pull off you without being noticed by God? Have you not heard that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by God? How do you handle disappointments? In every situation you find yourself, give God the glory.

How do you handle, your time and God's time? Does it mean that God can tell lies or that He doesn't know what He is telling you? Can God deceive a man? My answer to you is NO! But what happens if your time and His time doesn't agree? My bible says in Galatians 6:9 do not be weary in doing good; for in due season you shall reap, if you faint not.

How to know what God says is the time you took the decision. How to know what God says is what situation and condition was the state of your mind when you took the decision. Any decision you took when you were angry is definitely not the voice of God.

I believe love is the most misunderstood concept in the world. You can buy your wife the most expensive house and car and still have a horrible marriage. A lot of people have beautiful houses, but they can't live in them because they spend more money and time on building a house than they spend on building their relationship.

I don't care what name you called me before, give me a new name. My old name is not important, but my new name is very important. Did they call you Barren? Your new name is pregnant.

If God asks you to do the impossible, do not look for who have never done it, look for the God of impossibility. Any man that wants to defeat setbacks, must constantly look at his success.
