HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

Greetings, beloved brethren. Happy International Women's Day, respect to all for being the unsung heroes of our society, as Life Hope Inspired Family we love, honour, and appreciate you.

Did you that the greatest enemy of a woman is not another woman but a broken woman! Life is all about a reflection of energy. If I'm broken and I come across your path, my natural impulse would be for me to reflect brokenness to you too! If my crown is bent, all I will want to do is misalign yours too! But if I'm whole and I see you broken, all I'll want is to make sure you're whole too!

It's so important that you as women become whole as individuals!

This women's day I pray for wholeness! I pray every woman out there in the world to gain the strength they need to become who they need to become in order to fulfill their destinies. I pray you don't allow a misguided past to ruin a perfectly orchestrated future! I pray you believe there's better for you out there!

Listen, until you forgive yourselves, you will always see yourselves through the shattered pieces of the dreams you can no longer have. But Nothing can be seen clearly through broken pieces: no future, no hope, no faith, not even love is capable of being seen properly through shattered glass.

You have to stop believing that just because you are damaged would simply mean you are irreparably broken. Look at yourself through the mirror of grace! You're not what you did, you're not what they did to you, you're a product of the working and permanently active power of God!

Don't just stay in motion just to pass the time, live, and move purposely. Stabilise yourself. You're bigger than what you've gone through. You're the strongest being created by God. You take houses and turn them into homes. The Bible says, "you have an unfading gentle spirit, you can love the way heaven loves". You carry an atmosphere of God. Your strength is not in muscle, it's in heart and that heart can help you weather a thousand storms! You're doing well by your children, family, job, ministry, partner and by God-don't compare your progress with that of another, you're doing well-just get better! Life Hope Inspired Family loves you dearly, enjoy! #happywomensday #youmatter #youworthit #inspiration #beliveit #loveyou #enjoylife

WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS

WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS

"Carry each other's burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2). You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will look back in a few years and be absolutely perplexed and awed at how every little thing added up and brought you somewhere wonderful or where you've always wanted to be. You'll beam off gratitude at how things didn't work out the way you once wanted them to. Elegance is not about being noticed but being remembered.

DON'T PUT TO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF

I've been writing the chapter in my notes about "Becoming" about how so many of us are so focused on the end goal, the finish line, on becoming that we totally forget to be.

We forget to be present, be happy, be patient, be consistent, be content. We live in our thoughts that drive us to think that right now is not enough, and instead of embracing the current season and taking the lessons from it; we spend the whole time unhappy living a life of barrenness that seems to be yielding no results. But after going through this season countless times myself I finally understood the importance of being before I could become, the importance of every season.

The Bible says, "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." - ‭Matthew 6:34 #moreaboutthisinmybook

MAINTAIN YOUR PASSION FOR THE GOSPEL

"But that which ye have already hold fast till I come." - Revelation 2:25

As a Christian, everyday consistently presents opportunities for you to keep the faith and maintain your confession of who Jesus is and what He means to you. Nothing should take away your focus to Jesus Christ. He's all that genuinely matters. Declare your love for Him and your enthusiasm for the Gospel.

Sometimes anger or bitterness can douse your zeal and effectiveness in ministering to others. Hebrews 12:15 says, "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." Don't stop preaching and teaching this gospel to convince more to be born again and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord as their personal Saviour. Note this: Don't become cold about the things of God because someone offended you.

The privileges of service we have in the house of God are sacrosanct; don't take them lightly. You've been endowed with the ability and grace to lead people to Christ, unveiling to them the mysteries of the Kingdom; keep at it. There's a crown of glory awaiting you at the end.

The Bible says those that go numerous to honorableness will sparkle as stars everlastingly (Daniel 12:3). Continue sparkling evermore in driving or leading numerous to Christ. Let it be your life's work and priority.

Further study:

"So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith." - Romans 1:15‭-‬17

STAY TRUE TO THE GOSPEL

"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair." - 2 Corinthians 4:8

The Christianity that we have today didn't come to us on a platter of gold. If you read about Christian martyrs, you'd find that many were killed, beheaded, for their testimony of Christ. On one occasion, over six thousand men were slaughtered for their faith in Jesus Christ, and they were soldiers. They believed the Gospel with all their hearts, and nothing was going to stop them from transferring to the next generation the same faith that they had received.

All the years that you've probably had liberty to worship the Lord, to praise Him in the church, attend crusades and participate in life-transforming meetings, that liberty came through the deep struggle, prayers, sweat, tears, blood, faith, determination and passion of other men and women who staked their lives on the Gospel. They weren't only persecuted; many were buried alive. Some were sawn in two; violently killed, for their faith in Jesus Christ.

Persecution of Christians is still happening in several countries today. Some countries have concentration camps where Christians are subjected to harsh and heinous treatments for their faith in Jesus. A very recent report officially shows that Christians are the most persecuted group in the world.

I'm bringing this to you, so you understand that the faith of Jesus Christ that we have, the message of Christ that we've believed, is worth everything. In spite of the persecution, those before us maintained their faith and stayed true to the Gospel. It should and must be the same in our day.

No matter what's happening in your city or nation, stay true to Christ. Don't vacillate. Don't give up. Don't quit. Preach the Word in and out of season. Nothing should be terrifying or intimidating enough to keep you quiet, for greater is He that's in you than all the adversaries and adversities in the world.

BE BRAVE

Don't get caught up in this new addiction called "lifestyle", don't get caught up in the hype of trying to "live your best life". It's easy to become depressed when you're constantly trying to match everything and everyone you see on social media. It's even easier to suffer with depression whilst trying to become a 'brand/influencer', trying to prove to the world you are happy, you are successful, your chosen, your blessed, you are living your best life, you can easily get caught up in the web where likes equate to euphoria and validation, when the number of followers start to feel like you're being heard. The reality is, most people only like you when you're okay, when you have something to give. But what happens when you run dry? When you hit a dead end? When you face life changing situations, when you stop posting...do you start going into withdrawals like a drug addict? What happens when the lights go out at night? Do u have an identity or are you just a brand? Depression is real, and it is paralyzing so many people in our society today. My advice to you: Don't give all your oxygen to people who can breathe without it. Take care of yourself, take time to discover yourself, don't be afraid to walk away from pressure filled environments that are not good for your sanity, it doesn't make you a quitter or a loser, it makes you brave. #besmartpracticalandwise

FEED ON THE RIGHT INFORMATION

"…It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).

In today's world, people are more particular about what they eat. While some eat the right food to stay healthy, they are those who, from eating all the wrong things, have put their health at risk. It's the same thing spiritually. As a Christian, you must feed on the right information. You must feed your faith with the Word of God. Some Christians would rather feed their fears than feed their faith. You feed your fears when you pay attention to wrong or noxious information.

The effect of feeding on wrong information in the life of a Christian may not be seen overnight; but with time, such a person gets weaker and weaker spiritually. Before long, he's no longer as fervent in spiritual things as he used to be. Then, his life takes a completely different turn from God's original plan. Give attention to the right information. Fortify and energize your spirit for success with God's Word. The forces of life are domiciled in your spirit; as you feed your spirit with the Word, you'll be able to produce every good thing you want in life from within you. Jesus said, ''A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things" (Matthew 12:35).

RELEASE YOUR HOPE

I want to share something with you today that will help your faith. It certainly has helped mine. I've heard people say, "I sure do hope so," I didn't give any consideration to it until I started living by faith, however then acknowledged how void faith and power that phrase is. I didn't understand why it was so unfilled when the Bible is full of the word hope. When I heard people say, "We're simply trusting and asking," my spirit would pull back, "unbelief!" my heart would cry why? Is trust an awful word? In no way, shape or form. The issue is that a great many people don't generally get it. The manner in which we utilise the word trust in regular discourse and the significance of expectation as utilised in the Bible are two distinct things. At the point when we state, "I trust so we basically imply I want or I wish. Book of scriptures trust isn't wishing in any way. it is sincere, confident, favorable, intense expectation and that is something else totally.

Colossians 1:23 talks about "the desire for the gospel." Acts 26:6 utilisations the expression "any desire for the guarantee" alluding to the pledge God made with Abraham. That sort of expectation is a sincere, exceptional desires that originates from God's guarantees. There's a huge contrast between "I wish something would occur, and I seriously anticipate that that should occur."

In Philippians 1:19 and 20, the Apostle Paul says; "for I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the spirit of Jesus Christ". As per my sincere desire and my expectation, that in nothing I will be embarrassed, however that will all intensity, as usual, so now likewise Christ will be amplified in the body, regardless of whether it be by life, or by death.

Here Apostle Paul utilised two Greek words together, one significance sincere desire and the other, deciphered expectation, which means something very similar. Those words can likewise be interpreted like this, "as indicated by my sincere, sure, serious desires." Usually when somebody is that eager over something, everybody needs to know why especially if that individual is anticipating something that looks unthinkable. That's why Hebrews 11:1 says "Faith is the substance, the supporting of things sought after." What's more, where does confidence originate from? "Confidence cometh by hearing, and hearing by the expression of God" see (Romans 10:17)

In any event, when there is no characteristic proof that what I trust in will happen, I can be hopeful since I have confidence in God's promise. Expectation won't work without faith, and confidence won't work without trust. Neither one of them will work without the word.
