#2. DOWNERS AND LIFTERS (THE LIFTERS).

-

 



       The Lifters, on the other hand, are those who approach you in the spirit of meekness, they don't push their way to you to lord over you, but value and respect your passion and interest. 

This set of people might not look like it at times, I mean, the kind of people you'd want to share your plans with, they don't portray themselves to be too good before you, they're reserved, observers and wise.


      They know your areas of strength and weakness, encouraging and building up your strength and exposing you to things that help you overcome your weakness. They help you realize your potential even when you're in doubt about yourself.

They might not have money to help you start up but they won't withhold from you their wealth of knowledge and wisdom, which are of greater value than money itself.


  Be liberal and open to Lifters and value their presence around you.



     Lastly, to whoever you are open to, either the Lifters or the Downers, you tend to become such.

So, choose wisely, allow the Lifters in your life, and you also become a lifter to others.

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...
