HOW TO OVERCOME THE STORMS OF LIFE


"But those who hope in the LORD  will renew their strength;  they will fly up on wings like eagles;  they will run and not be tired;  they will walk and not be weary."  Isaiah 40:31 (CEB)
WHEN YOUR FAITH & FOUNDATION IS IN CHRIST JESUS, YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO RENEW YOUR STRENGTH AND IN THE MIDST OF THE STORMS OF LIFE YOU SHALL BE SOARING HIGH LIKE THE EAGLE, DESPITE THE OPPOSING CHALLENGES.
HOWEVER, WHENEVER YOU SHIFT YOUR FOCUS FROM YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD TO THE STORM, YOU WILL BEGIN TO SINK, JUST LIKE PETER IN BIBLE STORY.
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" Matthew 14:28-31 (NIV).
IN OUR JOURNEY IN LIFE IT IS VERY EASY TO BECOME FEARFUL, DISCOURAGED AND BUCKLE UNDER PRESSURE WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE HIT US, BUT THE BIBLE SAYS, "Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV).
OFTENTIMES WHEN YOU FOCUS ON THE STORM YOU WILL NEVER FLY LIKE THE EAGLE BUT REMAIN IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE, UNABLE TO MAKE PROGRESS.
BUT THE BIBLE ENCOURAGED US TO KEEP MARCHING ON BECAUSE, "Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap." Ecclesiastes 11:4 (NIV).
IN CONCLUSION, WHEN YOUR FAITH & FOUNDATION IS IN CHRIST JESUS, YOU SHALL FLY HIGH LIKE AN EAGLE ABOVE EVERY STORM IN YOUR LIFE. YOU SHALL ALWAYS EMERGE VICTORIOUS, BECAUSE OF THE MIRACULOUS AND SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION OF GOD IN THE AFFAIRS OF YOUR LIFE.
"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." John 15:7 (NIV).
"If you say, "The lord is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm wil overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." Psalm 91:9-16 (NIV).

HOW TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY & STRESS (Using 5 Steps)

I would like to welcome you back to the 2021 edition of the Masterpiece Inspirations Blogs and Podcasts. I am delighted that despite all that happened in 2020, we are still prevailing. I want to say a Happy New Year to you and to wish you a prosperous months ahead. In this current economic crisis and pandemic that is facing the global community, it is so important to take a moment to refocus our minds to protect both our mental and physical health I like this amazing quote from my favourite book; “ Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? (Mathew 6:25-27)." My take from that quote is that worry, anxiety, being stressful ca...

You're The Masterpiece

Image
  Do you know that you're a Masterpiece with Unique Identity (The DNA of your success signature)? Yes! you're uniquely crafted and designed with Limitless Potential, and for a unique purpose (which is congruent with your DNA) Hence, your potentials can only be limited through Identity crisis.  Oftentimes, this is due to conformity to sociological, divisive & condescending labels which are pinned on people by the society or various institutions. These labels are clever and subliminal psychological mental conditioning tools, designed to keep certain people in mental slavery, self-sabotage, gender identity disorder, generational identity crisis and poverty.  The reality of life is that whatevers label you accept becomes your self-image and self fulfilling destiny. Golden Nuggets :  “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” _  Albert Einstein  "I praise you ...
