WATCH OUT FOR SPEED BUMPS

 Title: Watch out for speed bumps
Scripture: Isaiah 30:20-21, MSG

"Just as the Master kept you alive during the hard times, he'll keep your teacher alive and present among you. Your teacher will be right there, local and on the job, urging you on whenever you wander left or right: "This is the right road. Walk down this road."

 Speed bumps are made to control speed of vehicles. As Christians, God's word is our road map and the Holy spirit is our teacher(guide). He knows the way around every situation and would lead us on the right path if we follow Him. We may come across something new in the Bible which requires that we take a closer look. But we hurriedly jump over. That could be a speed bump. 

The Holy Spirit may be prompting us to slow down. Many accidents did occur because some drivers never paid attention to speed bumps. You are the driver of your own life. But listen for the voice of God in His word, to avoid any accident. Watch out for the speed bumps: Slow down when you are prompted. Your life is precious. @ABTruworshipa

DEMAND NEVER EXCEEDS SUPPLY

Title: Demand never exceeds supply!
Scripture: Philippians 4:19, KJV


 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

I want us to look at two key things in our text.
 (1). "God's supply can meet ALL YOUR NEED(Demand)." And Paul puts it precisely as "need" and not "needs". He understood the difference. Man naturally needs so many things, and even though God has power to supply all of them, He chooses to give us just what we NEED just when we need it. He doesn't dump everything(all our needs) on us simply because He can supply. Whatever He gives would just be exactly what is good for us. A need is a condition requiring supply or relief, and God knows of such a condition. But His main concern is to meet a lasting need.

 (2). "God's supply is ACCORDING TO his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". It is not according to the state of our economy. God has never been short of supply and He gives without looking at the current circumstances. His supply always exceed our demand! @ABTruworshipa

WHAT IS YOUR P.A.I.N?

Title: What is your P.A.I.N?
Scripture: James 5:13, KJV

 "Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray."

Your PAIN may come to stir up your PASSION, release an ANOINTING, test your INTEGRITY, and satisfy a particular NEED. We mostly look at the negative side, and fail to see how God is using those things to bring us into fulfillment. When afflicted, pray! 

David wrote "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes."(Ps. 119:71). I know it is painful to be afflicted, but you have to find out the purpose. David got to know why he was afflicted. And even in the midst of that pain, God was turning things around for him.

When the enemy thought he was crucifying Jesus to cause Him pain, God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. I am here to announce to you that, what you think is your P.A.I.N is rather PASSION being stirred up, ANOINTING being released, INTEGRITY being tested, and a NEED being met. 
The Bible says, "Are you hurting? Pray"(James 5:13, MSG). What is your P.A.I.N? @ABTruworshipa

G.O.N.E?

Title: G.O.N.E?
Scripture: Hebrews 12:14-17(MSG)

"Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you'll never get so much as a glimpse of God. Make sure no one gets left out of God's generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time. Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God's lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite. You well know how Esau later regretted that impulsive act and wanted God's blessing-but by then it was too late, tears or no tears."

 There are certain things that can destroy us if we entertain them inside us. They must be identified and rooted out. They can affect our relationship with others, our ministry, marriage and career. When we over-look them, they can infest our entire life. They are negative emotions that we have to get over.
One is Bitterness; which comes along with Anxiety and Doubt. All of them are B.A.D! Its time to "Get over negative emotions". Have you G.O.N.E? @ABTruworshipa

ARE YOU TIRED?


Title: Are you tired?
Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30, NLT

"Then Jesus said, Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

The enemy has succeeded in deceiving many to bear their own burdens as a sign of strength, only for them to fall along the way. In The Message Bible it reads: 

"Are you tired? Worned out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

 It's not wrong to admit you're tired. But to think you don't need help and collapse under your load is foolishness. You may need help at some point in life; so Jesus says COME! @ABTruworshipa

ARE YOU JUST WORKING FOR A LIVING?

ARE YOU JUST WORKING FOR A LIVING?

 I have discovered two kinds of work that each of us are here to do. The work you do for a living and the work you live to do! One is called job; the other is called purpose. One gets you paid at the end of each month; the other gets you fulfilled at the end of each day. Even in the payments, one can delay(salary) but the other may even come when you least expect(blessing).

MEAN WHAT YOU SAY; SAY WHAT YOU MEAN!

Title: Mean what you say; say what you mean!
Scripture: Ephesians 4:29-30, MSG

"Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift. Don't grieve God. Don't break his heart. His Holy spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for himself. Don't take such a gift for granted."

Corrupt communication is any speech that is worthless or counter to the word of God. If you're murmuring, complaining, criticizing or talking about your problems, your communication is corrupt and according to our scripture, you're in danger of grieving the Holy Ghost.

Many people have been held captive by some careless words they uttered. It is very important to watch the things you say, because they can determine the course of your life. You can never be anything different from the things you say about yourself and life in general.

If you don't mean it, don't say it. And if you want to say it, then you must mean it! Because it would come to pass. @ABTruworshipa

SEASON OF AMAZING RESTORATION (S.O.A.R)

Title: Season of amazing restoration
Scripture: Nahum 2:2

"Even though the destroyer has destroyed Judah, the Lord will restore its honor. Israel's vine has been stripped of branches, but he will restore its splendor."

I see God bringing back glory into the lives of many people. You may have been drowned in shame, but the Lord says "I will give you back ...what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts..."(Joel 2:25).

Do you see all the types of locusts here? Some come in swarms to freeze finances, some cut through relationships to tear them apart, some hop on businesses to suppress growth and others strip off joy. But I can sense the season of amazing restoration.

God is going "to give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness..."(Isa. 61:3). It doesn't matter how bad things might have gone. "For your your shame ye shall have double; (Isa. 61:7).

S.O.A.R: It's time to increase! @ABTruworshipa

WAIT TO BE CALLED!

Title: Wait to be called!
Scripture: Proverbs 25:6-7, NLT 
"Don't demand an audience with the king or push for a place among the great. It's better to wait for an invitation to the head table than to be sent away in public disgrace."
I'm presenting a hard truth to us today, so that we all learn from our mistakes. Some people can make so much noise to get attention, only to be given the opportunity and realize they we...re not prepared or had nothing good to offer. We are mostly in a rush to prove a point, without taking time to carefully consider what we are going to say. Never push(force) for a place among the great. It is more honorable to be somewhere unnoticed and all of a sudden, you are called to a high position.
Remember that "a man's gift would make room for him and bring him before kings." Sometimes if you force yourself into a place, your honor becomes short-lived because it was premature.
 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you IN DUE SEASON:"(1 Pet. 5:6). @ABTruworshipa

JESUS BUT WHY?

Title: Jesus but why?
Scripture: Matthew.15:26-27,MSG

"Then the woman came back to Jesus, went on her knees and begged. "Master, help me." He said, "It's not right to take bread out of children's mouth and throw it to dogs.". 

It is interesting how some people got their miracles, without even calling on Jesus. Whiles others too had to beg, but still to no avail. Jesus wants to know the heart and the motive for asking. Many ask for things they can do without for now. But it is either they want to show others they also have it or to feel they are also close to God to receive from Him. Do you really need that miracle? To what extent can you go to have it? What if God calls you a dog? "Oh, but that would be too harsh", is what I guess might be your reaction. 

But let me be candid with you: God doesn't waste His resources. He looks at how badly you need it and how you would cherish it before He gives it out. Swallow your pride and persevere. Even dogs eat the crumps from the master's table. It's all about your faith! @ABTruworshipa

JESUS IF YOU HAD BEEN HERE

Title: Jesus if you had been here
Scripture: John 11:21 

Martha said, "Master, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died."

Have you been in a situation where you thought if Jesus had been around a little bit earlier, things would not have gone bad? Well, I don't know what you think, but Jesus has never been late. The truth is, we limit Him within our time zone and expect Him to operate in our chronos whiles He works in kairos. Mary and Martha thought the same way. They knew of a truth that, if Jesus had been there earlier enough, they wouldn't have lost their brother. But to Jesus, the time He got there was not the issue, because He is timeless. 

Jesus chooses to work in the kairos(the appointed or opportune time) rather than in the chronos(our normal time with seconds, minutes and hours). But in their desperation I love what Martha added "Even NOW(Kairos), I know that whatever you ask God he will give you". Don't worry about when Jesus should have come. Once He is here nothing can go bad. Just relax!

GET READY FOR A LEAP!

Title: Get ready for a leap
Scripture: Luke 1:41 

"At the sound of Mary's greeting, Elizabeth's child leaped within her..." 

Have you wondered why? It was obvious they both carried people of great destiny. There are some people who are connected to your destiny and as soon as you meet them, something (like your baby) will leap inside of you just to serve  as a confirmation. They could be marriage, business or ministry partners. There would always be that "knowing". 

For 18 years nothing was said about Jesus. John had to testify of Him for all that period, from 12 to 30 years. And all of a sudden Jesus appears at the Jordan river. John was quick to recognize Him(a leap in his spirit), even though there were a lot of people there to be baptized. Jesus too had to be introduced to fulfill scripture.

 Someone is about to introduce you and show you to the whole world. As John called Jesus out of the crowd, so shall you be called. There is going to be a leap in your spirit. Don't ignore it, it could be the sign. @ ABTruworshipa http://abtru-worshipa.blogspot.com

RUTH; YOUR BOAZ IS HERE!

Title: Ruth; your Boaz is here!
Scripture:Ruth 2:1-3,5(MSG)

 "It so happened that Naomi had a relative by marriage, a man prominent and rich, connected with Elimelech's family. His name was Boaz. One day Ruth, the Moabite foreigner said to Naomi, "I'm going to work; I'm going out to glean among the sheaves, following after some harvester who will treat me kindly." Naomi said, "Go ahead, dear daughter." And so she set out. She went and started gleaning in a field, following in the wake of the harvesters. 

Eventually she ended up in the part of the field owned by Boaz, her father-in-law Elimelech's relative. A little later Boaz came out from Bethlehem...Boaz asked his young servant..."Who is this young woman? Where did she come from?" 

I see God connecting you to some influential people. People who would cause a change in your entire life with just one favor. Helpers have been released for you. Your Boaz is out there. No matter what you may have lost, set out again. He's waiting.

IT'S NOT JUST YOUR TIME BUT YOUR TURN!

Title: It is not just your time, but your turn!
Scripture: Psalm 126:1-6, MSG

"It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion's exiles. We laughed, we sang, we couldn't believe our good fortune. We were the talk of the nations-"God was wonderful to them!" God was wonderful to us; we are one happy people. And now, God do it again-bring rains to our drought-stricken lives. So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest. So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing".

What God has set Himself to do for you would be too good to be true. It shall blow your mind. I have tasted of the goodness of the Lord and yearn for more. God is bringing some people out of financial exiles, emotional instability and inferiority complex into a wealthy place. Nations shall discuss you and testify to the goodness of God in your life. It would be that obvious! This is the word of the Lord, simply believe it!

HOLD MY HAND LETS TAKE A WALK

Title: Hold my hand lets take a walk
Scripture: Genesis 5:24, MSG

Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him"(Gen. 5:24, MSG). Many people are frustrated in life either because they joined a bad company, chose some bad friends or took a certain path in their life. Every one of the decisions we make daily eventually determines what we become and where we get to. This makes it very important who you choose to walk with. 

You can't just follow anyone if you are a child of destiny.  When the blind leads the blind, their end is always predictable. In our scripture, not so much is said about the character-Enoch. He wasn't the father of faith like Abraham. He didn't  part the sea like Moses. He wasn't branded as a man after God's own heart like David. And neither was he called wise as Solomon. But "Enoch WALKED WITH GOD..."

 God is telling someone today to take walk with Him. Its not about the number of verses you can quote or the number of tongues you can speak per second. It's all in a simple WALK! @ABTruworshipa.

AN EGYPT MENTALITY

Title: An Egypt Mentality
Scripture: Numbers 13:33

"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

I am not so much afraid of what others think of me as much as what I think of myself. I can easilybe paralyzed   by my inner thoughts more than what is from outside. "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." You can not think you are poor and become rich. It's an Egypt-mentality! 

The root problem of many people is that, the slave mentality has dominated their thinking so much that, they see themselves as weak and hopeless. Therefore when they meet any challenge, they conclude that defeat is inevitable. Life seems unconquerable to a slave. An Egypt-Mentality is seen in: the way we see ourselves; how we view and react to challenges; and how we deal with discouragement. 

No more blames games. No more turning back. You are more than a conqueror. Overcome every EQYPT MENTALITY that is trying to enslave you. Be released! @ABTruworshipa.

IT IS ALL IN YOUR MIND.

 Title: It is all in your mind
Scripture: John 4:35

"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are WHITE already to harvest."

 I can see that  many people are due for their breakthroughs and long awaited miracles. But it takes a right outlook to see it. It's all in the mind! The disciples could not see what Jesus could see, so Jesus had to draw their attention to it. Jesus made this statement after speaking with the Samaritan woman, who had run into the city to testify of what she had seen. 

Your harvest time is also here. You need this alert so that you would lift up your eyes and see what is there for you. "Jesus said, As you look around right now, wouldn't you say that about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I'm telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what's right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It's harvest time! Am just here to remind you!

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO HAVE ALL YOUR NEEDS MET?

 Title: Do you want to know how to have all your needs met?
Scripture: Psalm 34:9 

Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him LACK NOTHING."(NIV). "Fear the Lord, you his godly people, for those who fear him WILL HAVE ALL THEY NEED."(NLT). "Worship God if you want the best, worship OPENS DOORS TO ALL HIS GOODNESS."(MSG). As I studied this verse, I concluded that: "Those who fear God, show it by their worship. And by their worship, they have no want; because the Lord(whom they fear and worship) is their shepherd". Wow! Is it not amazing? 

Therefore from the scripture, one sure way to have all you want, is to fearfully worship God! The "lack nothing" there means that, as we seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, all THESE THINGS shall be added unto us. 
"According as his divine power hath given unto us, all that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" 

LET'S KEEP WORSHIPPING. @ABTruworshipa

WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN VINEYARD?


Title: What about your own vineyard?
Scripture: Songs of Solomon 1:6 

"Don't stare at me because I am dark-the sun has darkened my skin. My brothers were angry with me; they forced me to care for their vineyards, so I couldn't care for myself-my own vineyard." Note that 'activity does not mean productivity'. Many of us do well in helping others achieve their goals; which is a good thing to do. (I do so too personally). But we can become so involved that we may not even make time to work on ourselves, and build strong character.

WHAT IS THE B.I.D?

Title: What is the B.I.D?
Scripture:  Psalm 3:1 

"O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." 

There are some people who may appear to hate you so much that as far as they are concerned you are as good as dead, but most of the times they are the same people who serve as catalysts to speed up the process for our miracles to be released. They push us to the wall; which even makes us get to our destination quicker than we would have, without them. 

Saul wanted to kill David, only to realize later that, he was the best friend of his own son(next of kin). He gave his daughter to David so she may be a snare to him (1 Sam. 18:21) and that again didn't work. Your blessing can be hidden right in the middle of your "perceived enemy's" courtyard. Most times we can become so bitter that we even fail to see the blessings offered us (the B.I.D). That thing or person that upsets you may be provoking you into your due promotion. 
The B.I.D is therefore a BLESSING.IN.DISGUISE! @ABTruworshipa

A WRONG EXCHANGE CAN BE ROBBERY!

Title: A wrong exchange can be robbery
Scripture: Gen. 29:21-23,25
 
"Finally, the time came for him to marry her. "I have fulfilled my agreement," Jacob said to Laban. "Now give me my wife so I can sleep with her." But that night, when it was dark, Laban took Leah to Jacob, and he slept with her. But when Jacob woke up in the morning-it was Leah! "What have you done to me?" Jacob raged at Laban. "I worked seven years for Rachel! Why have you tricked me?"
 
Some men can be very deceitful. But our God is not a man that He should lie. "For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him ..."(Heb. 6:10).
 
An exchange done wrongly, can be robbery. Therefore before you enter into any agreement make sure you have all the details and understand fully. Jacob could not even know it wasn't what he bargained for. He was tricked in the dark and also with the veil covering Leah's face.
 
I see great doors of opportunities opened to some people this month. But they have to be vigilant and apply discernment! @ABTru-worshipa

ARE YOU BEING SOME WAY?

Title: Are you being some way?
Scripture: Psalm 133:1

"How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along!"(MSG).
"How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony."(NLT).

Are you getting along well with others? Or you are being some way? It is wonderful, pleasant and beautiful when after all our individual differences we can still stay in church and worship the same God in unity. To live in harmony does not connote we are doing the same things or thinking the same thoughts. Let me use a musical illustration to explain further.

There is said to be harmony in voices when different parts blend so well to produce a tune. And though each part is unique, when it joins the rest they sync. God expects his children to strike a harmonic chord by the way we live together. That certainly brings him joy.

Be at peace with all men and owe no man nothing except love. Get along with others and don't become some way! @ABTruworshipa

WILL YOU CROSS?

Tiltle: Will you Cross?
Scripture: Luke 8:22
 
"One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's cross to the OTHER SIDE of the lake".
 
Our faith can't grow if not tested, and they are tested when we dare to cross to the other side. Some of the experiences may not be pleasant there. They could cost us some friendships, career and a whole lot. There is a price you pay on the other side. But it pays off at the end. The reason why God wants to have you at the other side, is to reveal another side of Himself to you.
 
In our text, the disciples were faced with a great storm as they were crossing the lake. And Jesus had settled down for a nap. They woke Him up to do something. Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and raging waves. All they could say was "what manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him".
 
For you to have that kind of revelation about God, you need to leave the crowd behind. God can calm every storm in your life. Believe and cross to the other side. Don't be afraid of the storm.
Keep your focus! @ABTru-worshipa

LITTLE BUT DEADLY!


Title: Little but deadly!
Scripture: Songs of Solomon 2:15
"Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love..."
THAT THING? "That thing that pulls me down when I lift my hands. That thing that makes me shiver when I lift my voice. That thing that makes me cry when I lift my eyes. That thing that makes me fall when I lift my feet. That thing that fills my thoughts and shakes my bones. Only God knows about THAT THING. He alone has the power to take away that thing!" So now ...its time to get real. What is that thing? The things you can't tell anyone about. And not even yourself, because you keep denying their existence.
Those things you've held as secrets for so long and are taking the better part of you. Those are little foxes and they can cause damage to your entire garden. Open up to God: He can help you deal with THOSE THINGS! Once a while we all need to retreat and check out for those things that have become little foxes! @ABTruworshipa

KNOW WHO IS YOUR SAUL AND YOUR JONATHAN!


Don't confuse a Jonathan to be a Saul and dont confide in a Saul as you would a Jonathan. Many people have missed great opportunities because they couldn't differentiate between these two personalities in their life. A Jonathan is that pers...on who even though he has the right to the same position as you do, can tell you to have it all without an iota of envy. He is for you, body, heart and soul.
 
And is not offended if even you occupy his place. A Saul is also that individual who even though he occupies a position now, still would try to suppress you, because they see the King inside you. They would go all out to make sure that your dreams do not survive. Don't share your dream with a Saul, he might kill. And don't abandon a Jonathan, he could save your head. Apply wisdom in dealing with your Saul. Use understanding in keeping your Jonathan. Where Jonathan is, that is likely to be where Saul too would be. From the same house, but different mindsets. Beware! @ABTru-worshipa

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TALK TO (RELOADED)

Title: Be careful who you talk to (Reloaded)
Scripture: 2 Kings 4. 

Lets take off from where we ended yesterday. I want to highlight a few things so we ponder over them. I saw from the scripture we read that, the Prophet himself sent the servant to go and meet the woman and ask her what the matter was. But it appeared the woman was reluctant to tell the servant the whole story. After all he wasn't the one who prophesied that she would give birth. 

But look at this: when you read carefully (v. 14), it was this same servant(Gehazi) who brought to the notice of the Prophet that the woman had no child. But that meant nothing to this woman who had lost her child and desperately needed help. The one person she wanted to see was the Prophet who gave her THE WORD.

 Some people may serve as catalysts to our blessings and that doesn't mean we should run to them any time there is a challenge. They may be like Gehazi, who mean well but can't do much. Go to the source of THAT WORD! @ABTruworshipa. For more of such messages, kindly visit http://abtru-worshipa.blogspot.com

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TALK TO!

Title: Be careful who you talk to!
Scripture: 2 Kings 4:26,28 

"Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, it is well. And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: Then she said, Did I desire a son of my Lord? Did I not say, do not deceive me?" 

This is an account of woman who Elisah prophesied would have a child. Even though it was a blessing, she didn't ask for it. The child died in no time. And now on her way to see the Prophet, she meets his servant who inquires if everything was well? Gehazi wasn't the man that she came to complain to, and therefore she put him off with this; she said little: "It is well." You have to be mindful of those you open up to. 

"I said to myself, "I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me."(Ps. 39:1). Be circumspect!

QUICK RESULTS: PRAYER OR PRAISE?

Title: Quick results: Prayer or Praise?
Scripture: James 5:13, KJV

"Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises." It is likely to see people pray in times of tribulation. And praise in the days of jubilation. But what about Paul and Silas? They had a mixed situation; hardship and happiness. So they chose to combine both prayer and praise.

"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed."(Acts 16:25-27). You have tried prayer and also praise. May be it is time to combine the two. The power that comes from it would cause the foundations of whatever has imprisoned you to shake. Sometimes it is not just about your money, degree or links. The Fomular is Prayer+Praise=Broken chains

ANOTHER GOOD IDEA?


Title: Another good idea?

 "There is a way that seems right unto man..." An idea may sound good but may not be the best thing to do. What is the next idea you have? Peter meant no harm when he objected to Jesus' declaration that He was going to die. But Jesus said "Get thee behind me Satan." It was a great idea for Daniel and his friends to eat the food being served from the king's table, but they opted for vegetables, because they couldn't do things just like everyone else. 

Family and friends may give you all the reasons why you have to go a particular direction. But the question is, is that God's idea? If it is not in line with what God has purposed for you, then its just another good idea. Search diligently for what God has for you through His word and you shall be fulfilled. Don't rush to be anything because it sounds good in your EARS. But do what you've been purposed do the rest of your YEARS. What is your next good idea?
