Go The Extra Mile

And he (Zacchaeus) ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see Him (Jesus): for he (Jesus) was to pass that way. - Luke 19:4

The above verse is about a short rich top management government worker who had a goal, a purpose, a target; which is to meet with Jesus (the unchangeable Changer).

This rich man has a goal but he also had a challenge, his stature was an obstacle to him achieving his goal. The obstacle didn't deter him. He find a way by climbing on top a tree. A rich man climbs a tree!!! You hardly gonna find that these days.

How far are you willing to go to achieve your goal? Will you go the extra mile to fulfill your destiny. Obstacles will surely be on the road. Challenges will be there. Problems will be waiting for you. Will you give up or will you face it and conquer it by going the extra mile. The season you are in now is not a season to complain. Be willingly to stretch yourself.

Opportunities are missed because folks refuse to go out of their comfort zone. There maybe few opportunities in your comfort zones but there are more in that challenging zone.

The year 2016 is coming to an end. Have you achieve your target for the year? If not, you got to go the extra mile. Today is Friday. Everyday is a day of opportunity including today.

 Don't be afraid to suffer yourself for an extra mile. That rich government worker did it and guess what, he surpass his goal, target beyond his expectation.

Mediocrity is birthed when you are contented with how far you've gone and not willingly to go the extra mile.

 Today is a good day. You will not miss your opportunity.

 Every negative cycle of missed opportunities is broken over your life in Jesus Name. (AMEN).

Good Morning and I'm wishing you a lovely 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
