If APPLE advertised Ipads and Iphones with cracked screens, you wouldn't question a crack on your newly purchased Iphone 6 would you? No you wouldn't. Well, i'm quite sure APPLE wouldn't ship broken gadgets to you, but if peradventure you received a beat-up Iphone 6 in your mail - inconsistent with your order, how would you respond? Accept/live with or Reject it? Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17) Don't nurse what God didn't give you; poverty, sickness, failure... refuse to accept 'em. You have rights in Christ, use 'em. what you accept is what sticks, else, it's just passing through. life's like a restaurant, you either make do with what she serves you, or you burst into that kitchen and prepare yourself a meal, just the way you like it. Your choice. #Iam.Ed #my_muse #createyourownfuture |

"...and you shall here a voice telling you This is the way, walk in it..." Want to be a successful Christian? Let the word show you the way, then you walk in it continuously. Don't stop. Wanna be a successful programmer? What the pros can do for you is to show you the way through teaching (this could be formal or informal). Then you are responsible to walk (journey) in the way that they've shown you. There's a limit to what people can do for you, no matter how much they love you. Just as you have a God given purpose for your life, so also, they have theirs. Their knowledge, experience, resources may help you jump-start some part of the process, but sooner or later, the spot light focuses on you and you alone. If the decide to walk hand in hand with you, that could be detrimental to their own calling. So don't give "man" that responsibility. It's God's responsibility. "...I will instruct you and teach you in the way which thou shall go, I will guide you with mine eyes..." psalm 32:8 I said "journey"... calm down, the journey to the top is no sprint, it's a Marathon. You won't become mark zuckerberg in two weeks... the mark zuckerberg you see now, the bill gates you see now, late Steve jobs, these are all the result of a journey, a process that they we're committed to. The same can be said of you if you would decide on the kind of life you should live and commit to excellence. With respect to that which you desire, you must die for each day. Sacrifice the you that you see now for the you that you want to become. All that time learning and improving yourself each day is you shedding scales. Scales of ignorance, scales of inability, scales of impossibility to reveal the excellence within. you are a genius, an indisputable success, take the time to peel back the covering. Beware who you ask. Mr. Impossible. He's been around for a very long while now, and he loves to tag along. He shows up without even being invited and he talks a whole lot. One of his favourite hobbies is answering questions. His favourite answer is "you can't". There are a number of ways to shut him up. One of which is by asking the question "how can I...?" He doesn't have the answer to that. So, once you've decided where you're headed, your dreams, ask the right people the right questions and you will be shown the way, then, take that first step on the path that you've been shown, applying the principles that you we're taught (or learned). No day should pass without you "DOING" something that takes you closer to that dream, destination, vision that you have seen. If you don't do it, no one else will, that's why it's called "Your life". You make of it what you choose. No one can stop you, absolutely no one! Those Road blocks are mere attempts, illusions to make you choose to quit. Refuse to every suggestion to quit walking towards your dream. No one else can fulfil your lifes purpose but you. #Iam.Ed #my_muse I hope you were blessed.

I may buy you the Finest of gifts, the flashiest of cars, the biggest of rocks, but is that true love? You be the Judge, but let wisdom guide your judgment with these words "...and though i bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I GIVE my body to be burned, if "I have not love" It profiteth ME nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2" Observe " it profiteth ME nothing" here's an example, Imagine a farmer who sows his precious seeds and waters. He toils night and day tending his beloved crops and yet profits nothing in the end. Wow! I choose to walk in love. love is wisdom. Come with me and let's take a walk through time and space to when "God is love and love himself God" for in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. If "the word was God" and "God is love", then in the beginning was love, little wonder "...the greatest of these is love" 1 Corinthians 13:13. The true proof of my love is in the wisdom of God that I share with you, for wisdom is profitable to direct, so much so king Solomon declares that all that may be desired are not to compare to it {Proverbs 8:11} - Gods wisdom. Yes! Giving is loves truest expression. But stop for a moment...and consider that God so loved the world (what else could the one who himself is love have done but express his nature in loving his own creation) that he "Gave", Stop! What did he give? his only begotten son [the same, whom wisdom declares to be the word {which was God - who is love} made flesh]. So love was made flesh and dwelth among us and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father {john 1:14} - Christ in me, the hope of glory. OK OK OK...let's come back to faith - for it is now. I know that I know that I know that God loves me because apart from his vicarious death on the cross for the old me which is now dead, he left this new me, recreated in Christ Jesus, with a legacy, he gave me himself in his word and the holy spirit. - for God is his word and the holy spirit is he which proceeds from the father of lights in whom there's no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Thats how you know that the Bible not just a book nor the holy spirit just an influence but divine gifts from the father, proof of eternal love that knows no bounds. True love results from faith in the word of God which causes you to express. Can he that hath not the love of God in him truly love you? Don't let yourself be deceived by the manipulation of your emotions, into letting a volatile feeling knock out the truth of God's word from your heart. So yes! I will buy you the best things of this life being the man of great wealth that I am, but the next time I open my mouth to instruct you in the word(psalm 32: ![]() Thus saith the lord "what more can I give you but all things which is I. For in my word doth the fullness of the God head bodily dwell, search no farther than you ought to for the king. Jesus is seated in heaven on the throne Far above all principalities and powers. But you my dear are king today - king of your cosmos. (You determine the extent of your rule, for as far as your eyes can see, that have I given unto you.) The ruler-ship is on you - his shoulder, your throne is set, mount up and reign. My son, attend to my words, incline thine ear unto my saying, let them depart not from thine eyes, keep them in the midst of thine heart. Let wisdom transform you by the renewing of your mind, thus making you - my child into my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, that all of creation my hear thee for they await thine instructions which is my words on your lips. "But the heir defereth not from a servant for as long as he is a child." I wisdom, am profitable to direct, attend to my words "show forth the Excellencies of he who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" like a city set upon a hill, the diligent can not be hid. so shine my dear for I'm in love with you and that's all that matters. #Iam.Ed #my_muse 1 Like |
