Thought of the day
It’s not about you, it’s about Him
Proverbs 3:5-6(NIV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
It is important to follow the Lord and His Word, not your emotions or opinions. As long as God has given the Word, you ought to say, *“Yes Sir,”* because He’s the Boss. It’s not about you, it’s about Him; you voice His will, plans and purpose, not yours or anyone else’s.
Irrespective of your opinions, the Word of God is forever true! So, if the Word says it, you’re going to have to do it, even if it doesn’t align with your culture, then you ought to do it! We belong to God so we live for him alone.
Romans14:8 (NIV)
8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Thought of the day
The Champion of peace
or unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
How wonderful this is! Jesus is our Prince of Peace; the champion of peace. You can’t find peace anywhere else, no matter how you try, except in Christ Jesus. In John 14:27, He said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Jesus makes it clear that under no circumstances should you allow your heart be troubled, because He’s filled your life with His peace.
In your life, no matter what happens, be unperturbed; be full of confidence. You have what the governments of this world can’t provide; not even your family and friends can give you lasting peace, happiness, and joy; only Jesus. Praise God!

Thought of the day
Planning is important
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm 90:12).”
In the Bible, God shows us it’s important to plan.The word “number” there is an accounting word. It means that you’re accounting for the days; you’re scheduling or organizing your days.
Some people don’t plan their days. Many have regrets about their lives because they wasted time doing insignificant things.
It ought to be your conscious thought that you have only one life to live. Time is an asset, which you must learn to invest wisely. Investing your time wisely means investing your time in spiritual things. Remember, the Word declares: “…To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Romans 8:6).

Thought of the day
TWENTY-FOUR HOUR PROTECTION
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1 NKJV).
The secret place of the Most High isn’t a building or temple built with hands; it’s Christ, and that’s where you live. He’s your protection. The Bible says your life is hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3), which means you have twenty-four-hour protection! It’s round the clock. You’re protected in Him, because He’s become your citadel in which you live. Hallelujah!
Therefore, walk through life with boldness, knowing that no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper. You have God’s mighty protection.
Be mindful of your divine protection in Him. The Bible says, “As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever” (Psalm 125:2).

Thought of the day
CHRIST-INSPIRED WORLD VIEW
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (Colossians 2:8).”
Just as we all have different mindsets, we all also have different world views. A world view is a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world, especially from a specific standpoint. So, when we talk about your world view, it refers to your own appreciation, conceptualisation or apprehension of the world.
However, what’s more important is the origin of your world view. For a lot of people, their world view is formed by what they read or hear in the news media.
Live and see from God’s perspective only. His Word is light; the light in which you must live. That way, irrespective of the decadence in this present world, you’ll live in continuous victory and prosperity, and joy, because you’re living from the mountain top. Hallelujah!
