Excuses: Tools of a Failure

When the lazy man was sent, he said, “There is a lion in the road, and look, a killer is in the streets!”. - Proverb 22:13

The greatest risk is not taking a risk. While it is risky taking a risk. It is more risky not to take a risk. Excuses are tools for failure. Many people want to be wealthy but they are not ready to take a risk to invest and produce goods/services to sell.

A lazy person doesn't want to grow or expand because he will find one excuse or the other.

In life, to make giant strides, you have got to face the lions of the world. Great men and women are not those who just sat down, they are those who conquer the lions in every sphere of life.

To make it in life ain't easy. Procrastination and excuses will only lead you to poverty and failure.

Our verse today talks about The slothful man talks of a lion without, but considers not his real danger from the devil, that roaring lion within, and from his own slothfulness, which kills him.

It's another day, another opportunity, another chance, never back down, instead, pressed on towards the finish line. Anyone that told you the road in life will be easy either didn't know it or was deceiving you. Don't be lazy, don't be slothful, don't be a sluggard!

Thank God it's Friday! 😉
Good Morning and do have a happy Friday. 😊

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value. Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva. When
