HAPPY YOUTH DAY

Hi beloved, I hope you are still well and in good health. On this day, we celebrate the 46th anniversary of the June 16, 1976 student uprising in Soweto. Let us contribute to honour the contribution of the youth in the struggle for the liberation of South Africa, as well embrace and celebrate the legacy left behind for the current and future. Let your exceptional awesomeness and positive energy inspire confidence in others. 

Release the urge to keep up. Instead, believe and trust the path you are on. The good things in store for you and your life will not pass you by. "You are fantastic; do you know that? Our freedom, in a very large measure was due to what young people such as yourselves did 40 years ago not very far from where we lived in Soweto where Hector Pieterson was shot and killed. But you are fantastic. Reach for your stars, because now you can be anything and everything you want to be." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu

If you feel a sense of discouragement with the way things are or a sense of frustration that things are not the way you want them to be, these words are for you. There are many times when we can all feel like giving in or giving up on a goal or a dream that we have worked so hard to achieve. That's why it is so important that you never forget your own why you started and why the goal is so important and why it is so necessary to see it through. Once your heart reconnects with "your why" the motivation and strength to keep going will be unleashed from within. So, always be positive in life and live it with happiness and hope. Wishing you a very Happy Youth Day. On the occasion of Youth Day, promise yourself to become a responsible youth, to work for the development and brighter future of the country. May you always shine bright! #youthday #youthmonth #youthempowerment #youthdevelopment #stayconsistent #believeit #itwillhappen

WITHDRAW TO DRAW

Blessed Sunday unto you! Despite the many voices that threatened to dilute my faith, it did not dissolve. My hope is still in the being of Christ, my power embedded in the master maker that is Lord and my heart. My heart is still pumping with purpose and everyday I look in the mirror God reminds me; "The world still needs to hear me through you." I pray you never stop seeing you in the way He sees you! 

Withdraw from the masses to draw from the well that will never run dry. To retreat is as important as forming connections. Retreating helps one to reflect, introspect and evaluate.

Retreating is temporal isolation, it is a place of heightened diligence to rest on the King's bosom, to sit at His feet, to recline at the table and to ascend into the hill of the Lord. It is a place of alignment, recalibration and perspective. Christ Jesus, frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

Retreat to pray! I absolutely love corporate prayers but there's a need to frequently withdraw from the masses. Christ the pattern and the standard teaches us to; Retreat, frequently to pray! #keepthefaith #powerofprayer #praymore #staywithGod

THERE'S A PRICE TO PAY

THERE'S A PRICE TO PAY

Good day esteemed beloved, I hope everyone is still well and in good health.

Comprehend there is a cost to be paid for accomplishing anything of importance. You should follow through on the cost. Life will allow you to pull off something for some time, however eventually, you will follow through on the cost. All that you do in life causes the impacts that you experience. At the point when you get the bill, be ready to pay.

Dreams expect up front installments. Dreams are free, yet the excursion isn't. There is a cost to pay. In the first place, you should follow through on the cost of managing analysis from individuals who matter. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong." You should follow through on the cost of defeating your apprehensions. Disappointment, dismissal, and looking silly are normal apprehensions however, they are simply sentiments that can be vanquished and eliminated from your viewpoints. Finally, you should follow through on the cost of difficult work to understand your fantasy.

One of the guidelines life has shown me is that we generally have to make a decision. At the point when we say we "can't," we normally mean we're simply not ready to address the cost.

I accept that anybody who is significant and resolved to address the cost of learning, discipline and making the right moves aligned correctly at the perfect opportunities can accomplish and turn out to be monetarily effective. Also, having determination and constant pursuit are extraordinary characteristics, that will help.

What is it that you wish or dream to achieve? Whatever it is, there's a price you'll have to pay. Is it good grades at school? It won't just happen by osmosis; you'll have to put in the hours. Is it excellence in all you do? Is it great relationship with God? You have to be intentional about it and put time aside to spend it with Him. Whatever it is you desire, there's a price to purchase it. You can argue and say, "but God will open that door for me." Sure yeah, He will. But you'll need to sharpen that which He gave you. David kept sharpening his skills daily killing bears and lions until he got to slay Goliath. #thereisapricetopay #excellence #cost #courage #difficulties #difficultiesoflife #dreams #hardwork #lifelessons #pain #pay #perseverance #persistence #risk #rules #sacrifice #success

HELLO JUNE

Blessed new month beloved, it's been a while, I hope everyone is still well and in good health. It is June already! Since lockdown, time feels like such a warped concept; fleeting yet standing still.

Please note that the devil can use traumatic experiences as opportunities to conspire with our flesh and brainwash us with propaganda and lies. The enemy will remind you that you are broken because of your trauma; but God will remind you that you are victorious in-spite of your trauma. Viewing difficult situations with Godly lenses and responding in healthy ways strengthens us. We grow psychologically and we become more spiritually mature. The Bible calls this "renewing the mind," and it leads to transformed, abundant living. When adversity presents itself, God is Sovereign! #rememberthat #lifehopeinspired
