#1. DOWNERS AND LIFTERS (THE DOWNERS).

-


 


       In life, two kinds of people are worthy of being identified, and the right knowledge of relating with such is crucial if we are to become who we're destined to be.


     These people are called the DOWNERS and the LIFTERS.

Be sure, you can't miss these set of people, hence, the need to be able to identify them is imperative.

You must always be on the lookout in your relations across all spheres, right from your family members to friends to colleagues and so on, because that's where they are, they're not some distant folks, they're nearer than you know.


     The Downers are those who, by the nature of the spirit they possess, dampen one's passion and liveliness, bringing their "preys" into the pit of discouragement and depression.


One of the things that gives them away is that they always push themselves on others, wanting to be in charge of other people's lives and lord over them.

To such, you must guard your heart and mind, and turn away from their talks. They never help you see the potential in you, but constantly amplify your weaknesses and incompetence. They go all the way to poison your atmosphere, making you breathe in the toxic fumes of misery and self-pity.


When you approach them with a decision to try out something new you're passionate about, they tell you it can't work because you don't have what it takes. No matter how high-spirited you are, you leave their presence in a horrible pit of worthlessness.

With these people, I say again, don't share your plans, dreams or vision.

Guard your destiny and never give them a chance to infiltrate your life. They MUST be shut out of your life.


The LIFTERS will be discussed in the second release...#2

PRESSING ON OR PRESSED DOWN.

   Life is full of "hila-hilos" — ups and downs, and we're responsible for whatever we make out of these seasons. We're encouraged when things are working out according to our plans and discouraged when things happen otherwise. These are normal responses to life situations, but the big matter is how we respond when things are odd.      In seasons when we have a lot against us; opposition, challenges, hard times and others, this is when our real person is put to the test and revealed, and we're the sole determinant of what the outcome of this season will be.   We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.  2 Corin 4:8,9(NKJV)      We can decide if in our troubles and hard times we will allow ourselves to be PRESSED DOWN — discouraged, disappointed and lose hope, or we PRESS ON — keep hope alive and use the rubble to build something be...

LIFE RACE.

        A ll that surrounds the survival of humanity pushes us into running even without knowing what's setting us on a race, nor do we know how to run effectively, nor the end to which we're running. All we know is that we must run. Humanity in different phases of life is constantly being set in a race by different factors, which include: parents' desires, society, the educational system, and peer pressure, to mention but a few, and there seems to be no end to this frantic race.    Have you ever asked yourself these questions before:    • Why am I running?    • Where am I heading?    • How do I run effectively?    If you can't adequately provide substantial answers to those questions, you're at the mercy of the pressures posed to you by the factors listed above.           WHY AM I RUNNING?    I'm running because I know there's a vision before me. Write down this vision. Write it cle...

LEADING AND BLEEDING.

  L eadership is a great responsibility that only those who have given themselves to be rightly prepared are truly fit to take up the task; hence, it's not a position for frivolity. We know there are various leaders, but here my references are to true leaders. Leaders doesn't emerge over the night, they've gone through building processes over the years through which they've had series of tearing and mending, rejection and acceptance, discouragement and upliftment, tears and happiness, agony and relief, yet they kept the focus in their hearts knowing the scars at each checkpoint is a healing balm to those following.   Leaders are not self-centred, such that even in their downtime, they find courage to strengthen the feeble knees.  They go all out with so much compassion and intentionality, with no sense of gain to attend to as many in need of help. These are the ones whose paths are blood-marked, yet with consistency, have been proven by endurance and perseverance. They...
