Stay and Stand Strong



Stay and Stand Strong

 There are so many circumstances and situations we encounter in our daily life, at a point we wonder if we can survive or we should just give in.

 Our greatest weakness lies in giving up... 

It's always easy to run down the stairs and very tasky  and difficult to climb up. 
Yes,  you should be tired, it's better to just give up so as to avoid all the humiliation and harassment you get everyday. 

But wait before you do, read this short story, let's see if you would still want to give up or Stand and Stay Strong. 

 The Oak Tree"

 A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away,
then snapped it's boughs
and pulled it's bark until the oak was tired and stark.
But still the oak tree held it's ground
while other trees fell all around...
The weary wind gave up and spoke,

 "How can you still be standing, Oak?"
The oak tree said, "I know that you can break each branch of mine in two, carry every leaf away,

 shake my limbs, and make me sway.
But I have roots stretched in the earth,
growing stronger since my birth.
You'll never touch them, for you see,
they are the deepest part of me.
Until today, I wasn't sure
of just how much I could endure.

 But now I've found, with thanks to you,
I'm stronger than I ever knew."
~ Johnny Ray Ryder, Jr. ~

 There are few lessons I want you to hold on to...

 => The Oak tree stood it's Ground, it's just a a tree, common, you are made after the likeness of your creator, he gave you the power and authority to rule and dominate, that makes you a leader over the things he created, you have to realize this fact, You must Stand and Hold your Ground. You have all it takes, you are to give Hope to your followers, so many destinies are attached to yours, the moment you give way to the storm, they will all perish, I urge you to Rise leader! Take your stand and Hold the Ground.
=> Do not be Ignorant of the wind (people that will talk you down, passion and Vision Killers, shake you down, cut you down, silent you). The oak tree was not, that was why it strengthen it's root and that made it hold its ground. You have to strengthen your root, encourage and believe in yourself, yes you can achieve it, yes you can make it, it's in you, make the decision to strengthen your innerself (root). Don't let your innerself to be weak, the oak tree new this and protected it's innerself (root) , protect yours too. DO NOT GIVE IN.

 => Find  your Purpose. It will make you stay Focused. It will help you stand your ground and Stand the test of time.
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for any thing... Keep that in mind!

 => Finally, you are a step ahead to achieving that great goal so be thankful, just as the oak tree was thankful.

 Philippians  4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

 I trust you will not want to give in to given up again, STAY AND STAND STRONG.

Stop Focusing On Your Problem

Stop focusing on your problem! There is always a day of trouble for everyman although the time frame may differ. When there is trouble, it means there is a problem and when there is a problem you are bound to look for solutions. So many times we are faced with problems and we tried all we could and no solution and we are on the verge of giving up. At times we complain alot about the problem, we made the problem so overwhelming that we can't think of anything else than to give up. You need to stop complaining, stop telling God how big your problem is, rather tell your problem how big your God is. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah  32:27 You need to get this right, there is no problem that has no solution. What you call a problem has been encountered by someone in the past, nothing is new underneath the sun. You need to see that problem as a stepping stone to your greatness, don't run away from the problem,...

Embrace Your Pain

Embrace Your Pain Recently I realized that if you fail to curtain or challenge what you ought to challenge they will keep hunting you. You will keep revolving round the cycles of Nowhere.  For years, I have been trying to avoid who I am now, I have tried so much to hide, although it's not been easy to accepting the fact that I have to Lead or become a Leader nor Speak, Teach and Coach People.  I am quite shy, I believe I don't have anything to say that people will listen to, I know nothing, no experience at all, I was terrified accepting the Youth Leadership role in my church, not fully prepared mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. I failed so many times in implementing things that will cause better change, I keep avoiding challenges, I really don't want to hurt anyone, it really hurts me when I hurt someone.  But I realize if I keep holding back not wanting to hurt anyone to cause a greater change I will be known and regarded as useless an...
