Know Where You Belong
The reason why many find life frustrating today is not a rocket science. It's as simple as putting the right seed in the wrong soil or having the right soil receiving the wrong seed. The right seed in the wrong soil will never germinate, let alone flourish.
The best football player placed in a music studio, will never perform, neither will the best musician do well on a football pitch.
Until you know the seed you carry, and the field on which to plant it, you may never flourish.
Man can only flourish when planted in the field that has room for his dominant gift, core strenght and unique abilities and stays there for life.
Today, the only way out of frustration is to find out what you love doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.

THE POWER OF SELF-DISCOVERY
In my reflection recently, I discovered that people who don’t bother to discover who they are often live a life of no identity-ordinary lives.

Just Praise!
"I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises."
(Psalm 34:1, NLT)
When you wake up in the morning, do you expect the goodness of God in your life? Do you set the tone of the day for success, favor and blessing with your words? Scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That's why it's so important to declare praises to God all throughout the day. Things may be bad all around you, people may be negative, complaining and discouraged, but don't let that spirit rub off on you. The worse it gets, the brighter you're going to shine. The good news is that no matter how you feel, no matter what's going on around you, you can choose your words. There's nothing that can stop you from constantly speaking His Word!
Today, I encourage you to be determined to set the tone for your day, week, month and year by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future. Remember, when you put God first, He promises to honor you. He will pour out His favor on you and lead you into life, health, strength and blessing all the days of your life!
Prayer
Father in heaven, I choose to bless You at all times. I choose to set the tone to receive Your favor, grace and mercy. Thank You for Your faithfulness at all times in Jesus' name. Amen and amen!

Walk Through
We’ve all been in seasons of life when we feel like things aren’t going our way, or we’re not where we want to be. In these times, it’s tempting to let discouragement and doubt come in and take away the peace and excitement you once had.
You may be in one of those seasons right now, struggling to truly be happy where you are. But this is not the way God wants you to live. He tells us in scripture that even in the difficult times, He is with us. Even when you can’t see a way out, He will make a way through. Even when things don’t turn out the way we planned, He has a plan to turn things around for our good.
The key is to not get upset about your circumstances. Instead, be determined to walk through to victory. Declare by faith that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Declare by faith that you are rising higher. Keep standing, keep believing and keep hoping because God has a bright future in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
"Father, I humbly come to You today giving You all that I am. I ask for Your peace in the midst of the storm. I ask for Your strength to stand strong, knowing that with You, I will walk through every adversity in Jesus’ name. Amen!"

Know When to Turn Away
In life, many of the challenges we face are simply distractions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our destiny. Maybe someone in the office isn’t as friendly to you as you’d like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your mailbox. Those things may be frustrating, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of eternity. You can’t allow the little things to cause strife in your life.
In scripture, just before David fought the giant Goliath, his brother Iliab tried to confront him. But David knew that arguing with Iliab wasn’t even worth his time and strength. He knew his real battle was with Goliath, and he didn’t want to be distracted. He simply “turned away” from Iliab and kept his focus on what he was called to do.
Let’s follow the example of David and keep our eyes on what’s most important in life. Instead of being led away by frustrations, let’s focus on the big picture. Know when to turn away from strife and receive the mark of honor the Lord has for you!
A Prayer for Today
"Father God, thank You for Your hand of victory in my life. Give me the wisdom and courage I need to walk away from strife so I can focus on the destiny You have prepared for me. I love You and bless You today and always in Jesus’ name. Amen."
Today’s Scripture
"It is an honour for a man to cease from strife…"
(Proverbs 20:3, KJV)

*Hiding in the Right Place*
Have you ever watched children play hide and seek? They look for the best place to hide in the house or yard and wait quietly for their friend to try to find them. It’s a fun game for kids, but even as adults, we need a good place to hide from time to time. Sometimes we need a place of refuge, we need a place of safety, and we need a place to rest when we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances of life—a place where the enemy of our soul can never find us.
The good news is that God has the perfect hiding place for you! You don’t have to hide in your job. You don’t have to hide in relationships. You don’t have to hide in food or addictions because God Himself promises to hide you! He freely offers you shelter from the storms of life any time you call upon His name.
Remember, there’s only one place the enemy cannot find you. There’s only one place where opposition cannot steal from you. There’s only one true place of safety and rest for your soul, and that is in the arms of Jesus. Know that He loves you, and He is ready to receive you when you call upon His name!
A Prayer for Today
"Father, today I come humbly before You giving You all that I am. Thank You for hiding me in Your shelter and keeping me safe from the storms of life. My soul finds rest in You as I seek You and praise Your holy name in Jesus’ name. Amen."
Today’s Scripture
"In the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock."
(Psalm 27:5, NIV)
Today is blessed. Enjoy.

To Whom It May Concern!
Hello my dear friend,
It's just funny how people compare their lives with others.
The truth is, we all are journeying through life on different paths. It doesn't matter if we are all born on the same day. Even if we are, that doesn't make our journeys the same.
For some, the first part of their journey is so stony that they are unable to move as fast as they wish. So, they worry and envy others who are having presently having a jolly ride; not knowing that, just at the bend for others, is a rock waiting, that they may have to pull down before they continue on their journey, while at their own bend, which they know not, is an express, that makes for a good cruise, after their stony path.
That you're having it first rough, doesn't mean an express isn't ahead of you to cruise on.
That you are having it smooth now, doesn't mean you should look down on others who are not.
You have absolutely no idea of what awaits everyone on their journey of life.
Everybody has at least one rock or another to weather on their journey through life. It may be at the beginning or at the ending.
So, why the envy? Why the mockery?
When others are happy, be happy with them. When they are sad, sympathise with them.
When you see someone who's down, lift him/her up, if you can. So, someone may lift you up, too, in your own downtime of life. Nobody knows TOMOROW. Tables turn.
Nonetheless, put your trust in God. And be grateful for each moment. Life is a personal race, focus on your track and keep moving. It can only get better.
I don't know who this is for...

Know Where You Belong
THERE’S A STORY I ALWAYS LOVE TO SHARE with my audience each time I’m honored to speak at an engagement on choosing a career path. It’s a story of a competition between a dolphin and a monkey. They were both asked to come and showcase what they know how best to do. So, the moderator gave the game rules for both competitors.
Dolphin was the first to display what he’s got. In no time, the game began. So, dolphin started out, showing everyone his wonderful diving skills as he dives through the waters at one side and emerging at the other side.
Everyone was thrilled at his skills, with a resounding applause. In a short while, it was monkey’s turn. “Mr. Monkey, it’s your turn to show us what you’ve got!” the moderator asked. Without much ado, monkey was already on the tree. Spinning with style from one tree to another, with one hand holding the tree branches and his tail dangling and wiggling.
Everyone watched with amazement and got so dumbfounded at the skills with which monkey was swapping from one tree to another. In less than five minutes, monkey had gone round the forest of about hundreds of trees across the river bank. No doubt, everyone was thrilled and astonished at the skills both the dolphin and monkey displayed while they were doing what they enjoy doing the most.
Again, the moderator stepped in to announce the second stage. This time, he asked that monkey would exchange role with dolphin. That is, monkey would come down from the trees, and jump into the waters like dolphin did in the first stage. For a moment, monkey thought to himself; “What competition type is this? But I sure will apply the same skill with which I jumped the trees.”
With a resounding shout from the spectators, monkey jumped into the waters, and for the first five minutes, monkey was nowhere to be found. As the spectators watched, the resounding shout went drastically down like an electric current that had just lost stability. “What could have happened?” The spectators began to murmur.
And now, their anxiety was raised. There was a sudden calm as they all watched with dismay. A few minutes later, monkey raised up his head in a struggle to prevent his mouth from being filled with water. To cut the long story short, monkey was rescued from drowning completely.
Now, dolphin was afraid to step out of the waterbody, knowing fully well that he was going to mess up. Nevertheless, he mustered courage. The moment dolphin jumped out of the waterbody, he began to struggle, as he gasped for oxygen. The once excited spectators became so disappointed. Because they had expected dolphin to perform excellently as he had performed in the first stage of the competition. But to their dismay, dolphin too could not make it.
You see friend, just as the story illustrated above, in the animal kingdom, not all animals can fly, not all animals can jump, and not all animals can crawl. Not all animals can sing like birds do. Not all animals can swim. As a matter of fact, every animal has been wired or designed specifically for a purpose or a function. Everyone has got a role to play in life according to life-design.
In the same vein, in the human race(career wise), every man belongs to a particular ‘kingdom’ where he abides and reigns.
As a social being, when man remains and abides in his domain-his area of strength by design, he cannot but be celebrated. People are always amazed at the way he does his things. People would want to identify with him. But the moment he shifts away from his natural abilities, he naturally begins to struggle like a fish taken out of waters!
There's more to this...
If this story made any sense to you, do well to share with all your contacts...

Get Ready for the "New"
Are you ready for a new chapter in your life? In order to move forward into the blessings God has for you, you have to be willing to let go of the old. The things that are behind you are not nearly as important as what is out in front of you. It’s time to get ready for the “new”!
You may have had some unfair things happen, things that you don’t understand. But let me tell you, you have come too far to stop now. Instead of allowing those things to hold you back, why don’t you let go and take a step of faith into the new? It’s time to get a new, bigger vision; it’s time to get a new, fresher outlook; it’s time to rise up with a new attitude! Instead of settling where you are, pick up and move forward. Have the attitude that says, “I may not understand it; it may not have been fair, but I am not getting stuck on this page. I know God has a new chapter for me—a chapter filled with blessings, favor and victory!

Microsoft Excel gives businesses the tools they need to make the most of their data, so when it comes to making the most of resources, and maximizing return on investment, this is becoming increasingly important. Firms are collecting ever-greater volumes of data from multiple sources, including in-store-transactions, trade transactions, Oil and Gas, Procure-2-Pay, Energy, Online sales, Banking and social media. They need to be able to collate and analyze this information quickly and effectively.
Excel spreadsheets are commonly used across businesses to display financial information and other data relevant to the running of the business. This could be information relevant to the customer relationship management department, sales, marketing or HR. With so many business functions now reliant on IT and the internet, Excel continues to be seen as a vital tool for administration and the effective running of a business.

KNOWLEDGE IS NOT POWER!
I have come to understand that what makes the BiG difference between
Literates and Illiterates
The Wealthy and the Poor
The Beautiful and the 'Ugly'
Developed Nations & Underdeveloped Nations
The Employed & the Underemployed
The Healthy and the Sick
....Can all be summed up to be - KNOWLEDGE (Information) &
UNDERSTANDING (Assimilation)
Their perception of an information; their ability to filter through an information; their willingness to acquire and understand the right knowledge on any subject matter at hand; and how much of such knowledge they are practically applying to their lives because they understood it.
Knowlegde on its own won't change a thing, it is its application that does wonders and makes it powerful!
So, the distance between where you are and where you crave to be, is the knowledge you're yet to obtain and apply.

Failure is Not Final
Are you down on yourself today because of past mistakes you’ve made or because you’re not where you want to be in life? God knows every poor choice, every difficulty, every wrong turn you may have made, and He’s already planned your comeback! In scripture, Jonah took a detour, so to speak. It took him a little bit longer, but because he called out to God, because he believed, God not only rescued him, but God got him to his final destination.
Friend, know today that failure is not final. God always has the final say. Mistakes don’t have to keep you from your destiny. God’s plan can override every setback. Your world may be in turmoil today in a relationship, in your finances or health. But know this: not only will God rescue you; He will set your feet on a rock and lead you to your final destination in life. Remember, the promise He placed on the inside of you didn’t go away because you had some personal failures. No, that failure is only temporary but His Word remains forever! Keep hoping, keep believing because He will move you into the blessing and victory He has prepared for you!
A Prayer for Today
"Father God, thank You for Your hand of victory and blessing that is on my life. Today, I shake off the past, I shake off failure, I shake off poor choices and trust that You are restoring me and leading me into the plan You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen!"

It's Not The Economy, It's You!
Well, I don't mean to be rude. But let's have some logical reasonings together.
How Do You Make Your Money?
Do you make your money by;
👉 Being an employee?
👉 Being self-employed?
👉 Having your own business with people working for you?
👉 Simply sending money on errands to go get enormous returns for you being an Investor?
It's no rocket science that whatever category you belong, is the reason for your financial status right now.
An Employee?
You work for an establishment to get paid. And most often than not, the pay hardly can foot your bills. The day you stop working is the day you stop earning. That is, no work, no pay. You hardly have the time of your own. You recieve instructions to get things done. You can't get beyond your salary at every month end no matter how hard you work. In fact, if care is not taken, you may never stop working just to secure your earnings.You are glued to your job. You are often afraid not to get fired. You're simply earning a living. You're #1 subject to recession.
Self employed?
You have your freedom to go about your business as you like. No boss gives you instructions to follow. You simply work at your own pace. Nobody is good at what you do but you. You can only afford not to go to work when you are ready to lose some money. No work, no pay. You're simply earning a living.
Business Owner?
You surely own a 'money-making system' that runs on it's own whether you are available or not, thus making you retire young and rich. This is a self-built system that has people under you (a network force of people working and making money for you every second ). You can even afford to go on a one year vacation and still have your business running smoothly.You simply generate wealth using other peoples' time and other peoples' resources. As a matter of fact, you make more money when recession is hitting hard on others. You are the boss!
Investor?
You have worked very early in life and made so much money. You are or were once a business owner. You've retired from work. All you do is look out for the best investment opportunity out there and send your money there to bring returns. You're the Super Boss! You generate wealth at will.
Now, based on your category, are you just earning a living or creating wealth?
Considering your income category, how soon do you think your dream(s) would become a reality? Are your dreams still dreams or now nightmares?
Do you know the difference between someone who's just "earning a living," vs someone who is "creating wealth?"_
Or you thought the rich are much smarter, born with special talents, or perhaps "chosen at birth"?
Or perhaps it's all random chance?
Not at all...
The Simple Truth;
It's because they know specific principles and strategies that put them in the position to actually create real abundance...
It's because they are "financial literates!" They have a different mindset about money.You need financial education/ intelligence to jump out of the poverty bracket and fall into the wealthy people category.
Until we understand and learn to speak the language of the rich and the wealthy, we will never cast our nets where abundance is waiting.
Now, this is what makes all the difference between the poor and the rich- their financial thought pattern.
Millionaires/Billionaires Think Differently About:
MONEY
Others look for ways to spend money.
Millionaires/Billionaires make money and use that money to make more money and repeat the same process again and again. They simply look for ways to invest money rather than spend.
INVESTING
Others invest just a little.
Millionaires/Billionaires realize Investing is key to abundance.
SALARY
Others think of salary as all that they need.
Millionaires/Billionaires think of salary as a medicine to manage poverty.
JOBS
Others think a better job will make them wealthy.
Millionaires/Billionaires know that a job limits their access to becoming wealthy.
RISKS
Others stay away from risks because because they fear to fail.
Millionaires/Billionaires know if they don't take risks, they have already failed.
PROBLEMS
Others try to avoid problems.
Millionaires/Billionaires see problems as opportunities to make millions to billions.
PREPARATION
Others prepare today only for today.
Millionaires/Billionaires prepare today for the opportunities of TOMOROW.
TIME
Others waste time.
Millionaires/Billionaires see time as their most valuable asset.
Think like a Millionaire/Billionaire
Think H2i
So, Instead of doing what most other people do - which is waiting till every month end before receiving a pay(salary), you can prevent it! And start creating wealth at your own pace....
If you're still making the huge mistake of channeling your energy and resources in the wrong course and you crave to creating the financial situation that you really want in life...
Then you should stop what you're doing for a second and check out this lifetime Opportunity I want to share with you now!
Helping Hands International, H2i is the Real Opportunity! to become a Business Owner and an Investor, thus creating enormous wealth while touching lives and helping other people do so.
H2i Helps you generate wealth , not money!
H2i is a God-driven Mandate as it has changed many lives and if you let it to, it will change yours too.
We are blessed to be a blessing on all occasions.
Won't you rather join us?
Most times, our minds are too fixed that we allow great opportunities pass us by, especially when we don't understand the opportunity presented before us. So, we block them out because we already shut the doors of our minds.
If you want to know how H2i works, please comment "How" or chat me up on +23407030182618(whatsapp only).
Regards,
To your financial freedom,

Abundance Life Today
Are you living the abundant life Jesus came to give? I’m not talking about living in the fanciest house or driving the newest car. No, His promise of abundant life goes way beyond material things that this world offers. Abundant life means “life to the full.” That means no matter what is going on around you, you can partake of the full blessings of God. You can have peace in the midst of a storm. You can have joy when things are uncertain. You can have hope when circumstances seem hopeless. As believers, a lot of times it’s easy to look at that verse and think, “God is going to give me abundant life someday.” But the truth is that God wants you to have abundant life TODAY! Don’t waste another second living in mediocrity or settling for less than God’s best. Receive His blessings by faith today. Receive His hope, joy, strength and favor. Declare that you are living the abundant life today and every day!
A Prayer for Today
"Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, so that I can have eternal life. I know that You want the best for me. Help me to keep my heart and mind focused on You so that I can walk in Your ways all the days of my life in Jesus’ name. Amen."

Slam the Door on Fear
So many people today are living with less than God’s best because they’ve allowed fear to creep in and take root in their lives. Fear is the greatest weapon the enemy uses to try to hold us back. Fear is not from God. Scripture tells us that fear brings torment. It’s designed to paralyze us and keep us from God’s blessings.
The good news is that God is greater than fear. His power in you is greater than any power that comes against you. But in order to walk in His power, you have to close the door on the enemy. See, the enemy can’t have access to your life unless you open a door and give him access. That’s why we have to be careful about what we watch, what we listen to, what we read, and what we say. When we open ourselves to fear, we give the enemy opportunity.
If you’ve allowed fear to steal from you in any area of life, today you can be free—you can be finished with fear. Conquering the enemy starts by making the choice to close the door on fear, and instead, meditate on God’s promises. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony! Let His truth sink down into your heart. Declare it out of your mouth. Let Him set you free and lead you into victory as you close the door on fear!
A Prayer for Today
"Father God, I come to You today declaring that I am finished with fear. Thank You for giving me power, love and a sound mind. I choose to stand on Your promises. Fill me with Your peace and joy today as I move forward in victory with You in Jesus’ name. Amen."
