Every good and perfect gift comes from above not from abroad.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.’ James 1:17If your vision in life is to become as rich as possible, hoard every penny you make, and indulge your every whim - your vision is not from God. But if your vision is to succeed, use your success to bless others, and fulfil the purposes of God in the earth, your vision is from God.

God can do all this but one thing He cannot do is choosing your mate, because He is too smart to choose your mate for you. God knows that if He chooses your mate, and it didn't work out, you will blame him so He gives you the complete responsibility to choose your mate. That is why the Bible says "he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtained favor from God." You have to find your mate by yourself. It is also not the responsibility of your parents. But God does help you that's why he gave you a brain with five million cells. He gives you TGE Holy Spirit to guide you, He gave you his words to regulate your decisions, He gave you your Pastors to give you the counsels, He gave you parents, He gave you sense, and He gave you his own anointing to discern spirits. You meet a terrible marriage once you ignore any of this equipment before marriage.

God didn't bless me, so I can backslide, He didn't give me a status so that I can become a statue.

God is looking for a willing heart. He is searching for few like Esther....who will say if I perish! God is looking for people like Ruth....your God shall be my God and your people shall be my people. With just 3 He can do more than with the crowd. God does not use all to win all.

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.
