Shift In Paradigm

“You don’t move forward looking back; you don’t succeed focusing on your mistakes….”

Favour just became my first name coz I turned to her, I found favour, I turned to him I found Joy and acceptance. What a way to live.

I thought it will take a longer time than now, but it’s happening so sudden, earlier than I thought. Given the way people thought and concluded or based on the explanation of their conception, the concept of patience cannot even explain what’s happening though faith actually can. Wow!

Do you know there was a time men gave up on me? Though am so, so delighted, none is even around to take the glory. Indeed He touched me not according to the level of ma faith, but according to the level of His integrity. Oh! Did I say integrity, yes His ability, He proved His credibility to me that He that has promised is faithful to fulfill. He blessed ma family, in one month things totally changed, 2011 is a year for me. I don’t know about you but it is never too late if you can stop arguing with HIS way.

Opening up to His will is the only path to receiving from His Ocean of blessing. God proves His greatness to those that search for Him. He is still pouring it out but only a few are receiving from His generosity coz we are busy looking elsewhere; we are looking into our mentality, our own way in which we have defined success, people we’ve perceived to have straight paths are not really where we thought they will be now.

God makes men, no! He makes His words in a person, that’s why destinies can never be locked up. God’s word can never be cursed. It will be an error to think anyone will end up just as you have predicted when s/he is opened up to God’s word. What has He said to you. He visited Sarah according to His word… “The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised” said Gen. 21:1

Do you look for stuffs that are around? God’s a specialist in looking for the lost, that’s why He found me. Men lose but never even take their time to search for people they’ve lost…you know like the 99-1 principle.

I didn’t grow up with many promises. There was no one to look up to for my desires. I was only conscious of the fact that God has made much promise to generations, that’s why He brought me forth this time and seeeeaaaasooooon.

Beloved; you don’t seek restoration and lifting looking at your mistakes and biting your fingers in regrets. Open your mental memory and delete the day it happened. People you thought will never make it have shifted their focus and thus becoming what they now see. What are you looking at, what are you seeing?

How can you carry the kingdom of God within you and remain on the low side, wallowing in pity and hopping someone will soon come to your rescue when the whole world awaits your manifestation. For me doors are opening up…you know why….? I had a mental adjustment from fear to faith, from impossibilities to possibilities, from limitations to greatness. There’s a shift in paradigm. I carry God and situations answers to me. Rejections flee. My steps, laughter, carriage and smiles have actually changed. What a conscious way to think.

Now I believe there’s a way and how to serve God. Oh, you didn’t know? These hows are what will attract the blessings of God to anyone’s life. If it’s just about being born again, look around, you will see there are people who have been born again... ten, fifteen, twenty and even thirty years but there’s nothing that looks like a blessing. God I appreciate you, men and family are now saying “Uduak’s a special child, oh! Its buf you know.

I want to do things because God’s my guide: what has God asked you to do but you stepped away from? This is the only reason His blessing stepped away from many.

While I leave you thinking about this, remember 2011 can still be your year only if you can trust Him totally to know what really counts is …just to know thus says the Lord. You don’t have to be too intelligent for God’s simplicity.

I love you but the Lord loves you more than I do.
