Words Have Great Significance in Life

God created the heavens and the earth to revolve around words. For example, all things, people, places, animals, plants, careers, food, destinies, God, and so on are words, whether spoken or written.
I often here people speak negatively about themselves, situations, or others. Only if they knew that words have recreative power; they would turn from negativity to positivity. Everything and being in heaven and on earth has a name. This name is a word which is used to identify the person or object. For example, God is a word, Jesus is a word, man is a word, heaven is a word, earth is a word, and the list goes on. I am only trying to show you how powerful and crucial words are: both written and spoken. When God says, "hearken unto My words," He knows what He means.

If you look through the scriptures, particularly Genesis 1, you would notice that during the creation of the world, it was recorded: "God said" nine different times. These are the words God spoke to bring the world into existence.

When situations around you are not great, do not aggravate them by sympathizing with your self. You can be a little concerned but not helpless. Faith is the opposite of fear. Remember, God always has a way of escape. Start to engage in encouraging thoughts and you would speak positive words.

Dwell on God's word daily and lay all your burdens upon Him for He cares for you.

Jealousy: How To Terminate This Negative Attribute

There are many attributes that man exhibits in life. Some being positive and others negative. However, the negative characters in man such as; jealousy, strife, anger, pride, stinginess, judgmental, foolishness, can prevent man from reaching his highest God-given potential. Many people who suffer from any of these are not even aware. I shall be discussing one particular negative attribute called jealousy.

What do you understand by the word 'jealousy': It can be said to be lack of contentment with what God has endowed you with in any facet of your life? Do not get me wrong! It is always good to strive to elevate in every area of life but there should be a balance. That is, you say; God, I am content with what you have given me but I need more grace to move to the next level. When you follow these pattern, that is; being content and asking for more of God's grace, you will find yourself not only soaring higher but also free from the spirit of jealousy.

There is a reason God says in His word:

But the path of the just is like a shining sun,
that shines even brighter unto a perfect day.
                                                   Proverbs 4:18


This Scripture supports my point in the sense that; God says a righteous person is not supposed to stay stagnant in life rather move from level to level. That being said, a crucial step to receiving more from God is to live a righteous life. When you are just in the sight of God, He will elevate you and when you have elevation, you cannot exhibit jealousy; rather people would envy you.

The spirit of Holiness is one which is very potent. It is more potent than prayer and faith. Living a holy life is the master key to a world of exploits. A person who is holy also exhibits the spirit of genuine love for God and man. This being cannot harbor any acts of jealousy because a heart full of holiness and love drives out all negative attributes. So if you are thinking of how to be free of negative characters; the key is to live a holy life and be full of genuine love.

Pride Is A Destiny Killer: Get Humility

One of the keys to living a fruitful and blessed life is maintaining a humble heart always. Humility in one sense can be viewed as a potent spiritual weapon which is also as powerful as faith, hope, love, praise, and so on.

A person who is worth a hundred million dollars but is full of pride is no better than a person who is worth five thousand dollars but full of humility. What I am trying to say here is; humility cannot be purchased, it can be actualized through continuous meditation on God's word, prayer and praise. Pride is an attribute of the enemy, and man must do all it takes to avoid it. Let me shed some light on how pride can destroy a person's destiny, even a glorious one; Imagine you have labored all the years of your life, and finally you become blessed by God, resulting in wealth. One very day, you become so self-centered and arrogant because of your riches. This act can crumble what you have labored for all your years. That is, you went from grass to grace, and then you go back from grace to grass.

A Proud fellow indirectly says that he or she does not need God's wisdom, and therefore feels the worldly wisdom he or she has is sufficient enough to carry through life. When you have God's wisdom then more than   likely you will exhibit humility. However, when you engage in the wisdom of the world, you are prone to the spirit of pride and arrogance.

If you look back and think of the highly successful people in life, that is; those who have had longevity, you will notice that most of them have some form of humility in their heart. God is the One who gives wealth, riches, position, fame, stardom, and so on. Why would you be proud, He can cease any benefit from you anytime if you do not humble yourself.

God is the author of humility, and He expects us all to be humble. You may have heard or read in the Bible that God created man in His own image. This means that God did not create man to be proud. In Genesis, Adam and Eve were created to be humble but after their fall, pride set in man. However, when man receives Jesus as Lord and Savior, carries out spiritual exercises, he becomes transformed. Start to seek the spirit of humility and see how high you will soar in every area of life. Find more information in my book:

How Healthy Diet Affects Your Spiritual Life

Not in a million years would I have thought that the food that I eat affects not only my physical body but also my spiritual life. Many years ago, I noticed a few families only eat organic food. At that point in time I could not understand why people would spend so much money on organic food. As I began to dwell on the word of God, I realized that these families have spiritual insight that not everyone has; including Christians. I also learned by experience, that is; after eating junk food for so long, I realized that I was loosing my focus and concentration. As a result of this; I did not only get affected physically, mentally but also spiritually. What I mean is, during this trying period I had the measure of my faith to believe God drop down like a rock. This made me vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. That is; my spiritual health was threatened.

As I went about seeking the kingdom, God opened my spiritual eyes which made me see the reason why I felt that way. He said, I need to start eating healthy on a daily basis. This is the reason God created various natural classes of food for man, such as; protein, carbohydrate, fats & oil, fruits & vegetables, and so on. Ever since I started to obey God in this regard, I have been enjoying great physical, mental and spiritual health. Vitamins and nutrients are very essential not only to a person's body but also to his or her spiritual life. You may feel that your mind, body and spirit are in excellent condition but you can always feel better by improving on your food diet. As a millionaire may increase his or her wealth, the same way a person can improve his or her physical, mental and spiritual health by eating a healthy diet daily.

There is a reason God said that; "Our bodies are the temple of God." That being said, we need to take very good care of our bodies and spirits. Let me quickly share with you how I overcame the challenge; I started to take multivitamins, eat healthy diet on a daily basis, and exercise periodically. If you are reading this article and feel that it does not apply to you; wrong! You can always improve on your physical, mental and spiritual health. Following the advise in this article will set you up for success in physical and spiritual life.

How I was Inspired to Write

I am the author of two Christian nonfiction books titled: "Uncommon Truths Leading to Success: Maximizing These Benefits of Christianity in Your Life" and " Taking Your Life to the Next Level: 7 Keys to Living the God Kind of Life"

I just do not write books because I see other people write; such as friends, family, and other authors. I write books as I am led by God the Holy Spirit. One very evening, my father asked me to write my third book; guess what I told him? My response: I will write my third book when the Holy Spirit leads me.

Let me give you the breakdown of when and how I received my calling to be in the writing ministry; One glorious evening, sometime in July 2012, I was listening to a celebrity pastor's sermon on YouTube. The message lasted a little over one hour, after which I was led to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal my destiny to me. I then engaged in a one hour praise and worship; and as I did this, in about three hours I started to recieve downloads from heaven concerning my destiny. One of these was; I was called to be in the writing ministry. Many more things were revealed to me that were not easily believable with the natural mind.

I never knew I had a gift of writing until I encountered the events listed above. I was an athlete in high school; in fact, me being the fastest runner in my middle and high school; I thought my destiny would have something to do with running. Also, I had completed undergraduate and graduate school in business administration. Although, this training was helpful, it did not directly have anything to do with my destiny.  Moreover, as it is written; God's ways are not man's ways. This is a key reason I wrote about how to achieve your destiny in my book. If I had chosen my own career path in life without God's influence, I would have been a frustrated person. Parents should never impose any career path on their children except when sure it is from God. I will continue to write inspirational messages as I am led by God.
