Learn From Your MISTAKES

 



In life, there are some things we would always do (intentionally or not), one of them is Making Mistakes. In this life, we would make mistakes. But life doesn’t stop there, not at all, what do you do when you makes mistakes? Do you learn from it or you just keep making more?


The past is our tutor, the present is the life exams, the future is the result of our life examinations. Some mistakes can be very costly and derailing which is why we need to learn our lessons. Recently I learnt a very hard lesson about some mistake I did and at first I was really down and could easily slip into depression but then I realized if I ever want to emerge a better man, I got to own up to my mistakes, learn from it and improved.


You certainly can’t avoid mistakes but you can avoid making the same mistakes, you can avoid making costly mistakes, you can avoid certain mistakes certain people have made in the past.


Learn from your Past and learn from People who have gone ahead of you. You don’t need to overspend before you know that it kills, you have heard and seen people who have been killed in accident caused by over speeding, so you learn from them.


So, if you have made some mistakes before, you ain’t alone and don’t be downcast about it. Admit your mistakes, repent and make amendments. We all have that second chance, the thing is not to blow it up again. People that don’t learn from that mistakes will always end up in miserable situations.


As Eleanor Roosevelt rightly said “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.” - Eleanor Roosevelt. “Everyone makes mistakes. ... Nikki Giovanni said “Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts.”


So what is your reaction or response to that mistakes, because that is what will determine your progress.


It’s the second month of the year already, so far so good, hope you are learning from your mistakes. Don’t be hard on yourself, don’t give up. Don’t remain fallen, rise up and emerge wiser, stronger and better.

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
