John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."
I remember during Asia Conference, Pst Phil Pringle said: "Revelatoin is what to do. Revelation is who to do it with."
So i've somehow concluded from the above that revelation is (more to divinity) the relevant and practical solution to your current situation. what do you think?
There's never a time like now when people need revelation the most because the world we're living in today is cluttered with great information everywhere. I'm sure there're people like me overwhelmed by info coming from all over.
But great info is inequivalent to right, practical info (which is what counts).
The vast amount of good information accompanied by the incredible convenience to obtain them could either speed us up for success or serve as a distraction if we arent careful.
People who "made it" are those who hit the right questions (the right 'WHYs') again and again from where they started off.
It's about, 'Why-do-you-do-the-things-you-do?' Our motives matter big time!
Revelation happens when we begin asking the right 'WHYs' that summons it.
More people all over the world now are becoming millionaires and billionaires in incredible acceleration as a result of the internet.
What this Information Age is offering is incredible power man! Power to get wealth! Power to get our dreams fulfilled! The season for fulfilment of dreams is NOW!!
I miss Westlife songs man (Got hooked up again haah), so beautiful. It just brings back memories, sch & exams, first job as a waiter, the silly infatuations, assignments, blading, blah blah.. the moments.
My heart's stirring with blissful feelings now tripled with new visions & motivation, O how I needed this divine moment!
I realise sometimes we're moving so fast that we tend to forget the 'moments' in our lives.
Our tomorrow becomes our yesterday in a twinkle. What's the point of striving so hard sometimes for our tomorrow when no one, not even ourselves would care to recall, remember or appreciate when it becomes our yesterday?
Driven by conviction, I've been trying hard for success - the 'ideal lifestyle' (i thank God for the desire), but i'm missing the fact that success, peace & joy is around me, in me, on me, and i'm around, in & on them as well. They're within my reach and come in the form of switches. All i have to do is turn them on whenever i'm empty on the inside. The voice of Truth told me "The first step to living in victory is to surrender." Then i realised until I'm filled in the inside, nothing i set out to do would amount to anything.
Life is like a book. The chapters of the moments are precious, i dont want to lose them, i pray they'd stay in my heart while i hold fast to the spine. i want to turn back to page #1 when i'm old and share with my kids and their kids my story, to inspire, to protect, to build, to leave a legacy. This is what I desire and have set out to do, i find no other reasonable/better options. But there’s still so much more to learn.
Aren't you glad you're able to recall the moments?
Thank God that i still remember..
Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV) & (NLT) So he answered and said to me: “ This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts.
Then he said to me, “This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
You have a sense of destiny You have a gift You have a vision You have a purpose You want to have this, that and those.. You want to do this, that and those..
Then you realised you only got 24 hours a day ('16' to be precise) (alot lesser than that to be more precise)
'Finding Your Calling' - Oprah Winfrey HERE! (URL-1) =) Found this on one of the CGL's blog (believe she's from JOL also) Anyway I believe also that most of us have heard of Oprah Winfrey right?! She was voted the America's MOST influential/powerful women (it was couple months ago I think) See what she has to say in this casual 4min30sec interview with one of the audience, about 'finding your calling' or 'purpose in life'.
("Greatness is determined by service" Amen!)
This reminds me of a site that I'd come across: I would say, you can know ALL about Oprah HERE! (URL-2) =) This URL provides you her interview/biography/profile/photo gallery
BE INSPIRED man!! As you're reading about Oprah.. keep in mind she was like any other Mary, Jane or Siti and that most of us at a young age, were brought up in much fortunate environments compared to hers. (take cooking for an analogy: "If Yen can cook so can you!") If she can do it, WHY NOT WE?! YAY!!!
lol.. (after reading) im like the nicest guy now huh (love these tests lol) .. well there're much more versions of these 'nice guys' descriptions.. wait till you read the others.. go see how yours would turn out.
Have ya'll noticed the advent of these personlity tests.. sometimes it sounds lame to you.. but you just wanna take sometime to do it.. perhaps we have this urge to wanna know who we really are. We all have asked one same question before somewhere in our lives: "Who am I?!!" Well i know.. you're like.. "huh weird.. i doubt so.." trust me you have.. yes you do
God has planted in us a desire to live.. and also to live A life of meaning and purpose. What could be greater than living a purposeful, hopeful life?
Okok maybe not "who am I?" as you are not the Jacky Chan type or just thinking of him turns you off whatever.. How bout "What am i to do here?(on earth)", many of us know we ALL deserve to live a good life despite our current circumstances might ask "what do i have in me that could bring forth change" We can all come out with various versions of such at some point Most probably these questions have been hanging around your mind for sometime in the past and has faded away.. now do they sound familiar to you? think again..
I believe all of us are meant for greatness.. all of us have a significant part to play in this ever-changing world, yes ALL and that includes you buddy. I believe all of us can live a life, also the life that we say we want to have.. Don't give up if you are the one who's on the verge to.. stay hopeful because the truth is that there's HOPE.. always there's still.. for He loves you and He's faithful. Some might not know Jesus yet but He loves you and He's forever faithful.
The real you inside is gonna do much much greater things in the future.. things that surpasses all of your current understanding and expectations.. Dont lose hope! Don't limit God.. stay faithful for He is faithful..
Looking at your problems you might think you have shrinked so much.. but in His eyes he only sees the final master piece - the real you, who's able to overcome, who's able to pick him/herself up in such circumstances and who's willing to let Him help and who's also willing to lift up his/her sight from the problems and see His goodness and blessings ahead.
I just got back from Sant Qiu’s ‘Speed to Wealth’ workshop. Wow! He did share a lot on his Marketing Strategies. All I can say is that his workshop has changed my mindset of doing business.
Doing Business (or whatever you do) right, is a matter of mindset. What is business to you affects how you go about doing it… or not. I’ve realized that before attending the workshop my mindset for business wouldn’t bring me far at all.
You may have heard of this many times, your [Beliefs/Mindset] affects your [Actions] which ultimately affects your [Results].
Our beliefs have certain limits. All of us have our own ‘Limiting Beliefs’. Some of people's limiting beliefs of business include (* represents my initial limiting beliefs):
- Need $ to do business and profit from it (no $ = destined to have no $) - * Profiting from business takes a long time - * Doing business is a long process - Building a business is buying a big ticket and risks will be there - * Therefore, I need to understand A LOT about business to do it right - The list goes on…
Our beliefs directly equate to the size of our comfort zones. We can’t blame people when they tell us all sorts of reason on why we shouldn’t go into business. Because the truth and matter is that those are their beliefs.
Reason why Sant’s workshop was called ‘Speed to Wealth’ is because he believes that one can start profiting right away! Also that anyone could possibly do it if they’re willing to learn how to!
Now I know some of you might be scratching your heads now asking how is it possible? Well I’d say this is normal, and if you feel annoyed because you can’t figure out, better still! Because right now you are stepping out of your comfort zone by asking yourself questions that challenge your beliefs/mindset! And I tell you if they hang in there (your mind) long enough you would eventually figure them out!
You see, I think in order to succeed in whatever we do; we must open up our minds to the possibilities. Once you are opened to them you are more receptive to the information you receive. Because what matters most isn’t if the information would make you uncomfortable or not nor if you are getting the real deal or not.
We don’t even know what we need to know!
What matters most is how you manipulate the information, discerning from them what is right and works for you. It’s the process of understanding. It’s common for people to want to have instant gratification but we mustn’t neglect the fact that it’s gonna be a process and definitely there will come challenges. Most people fail to understand this. Once they feel uncomfortable they back off.
It’s only if we… - Open Up and [ACCEPT] information, - start to Learn and [ADOPT] them and then - Understand, [ADAPT] and Practice, giving the information life …should we truly succeed in life. Once you truly understand success you’ve already succeeded. This is what Sant calls the A³ Fomular.
A chance to step out of our comfort zone… priceless, therefore embrace it =)
Here’s a simple exercise for today’s topic =D Write down specifically:
1. 3 things you want to achieve in the year 2007 Let go of your limitations and list them out. Go ahead!
2. What’s your own list of limitations? Now bring them out again
3. How you need to change to deal with them? What’re the steps of solutions?
Now with all that done comes the fun part. Cancel off your list of limitations until you can’t see them. What are you left with now?! Yep! Your goals, and the steps to achieve them (Cool huh!). Stick to your goals and Focus on the solutions, not your limiting beliefs and you will find yourself breaking free from the bondage.
Impossible isn’t really that impossible now isn't it? After all it is spelled [I’m possible]
