Topic: Praise in The Storm

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

 In life, we are meant to succeed despite the challenges. They come as storms in your life. This storm can be a season of repeated undesired outcomes.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
The Lord goes with you but in it all, you go through Valleys. These valleys are downward moments. That's a part of the journey.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
We face shadows in life, no one is exempted from this phase. The storms are capable of pulling tears from our eyes. The shadow of death is not a pleasant experience.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
In spite of this, God is with you and He brings us comfort. You need to hold on to that. Even in the storm, God remains with you. Psalms 34:19 assures you of this.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Psalms 23:4, in spite of the shadows, God is with you.
John 10:10, Jesus came for you to have life. He doesn't come to stop the storm, but to guide you through.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
The story in 2Chronicles 20:15-24 proffers a strong reminder of God's desire to bring you out of any storm you may find yourself in. You must recognize that the battle isn't yours but the LORDs.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Lessons to learned

1) Jehosphat had feared but he conquered that fear. We all experience fear, if you allow it to control you, it determines your outcome but if you conquer it, it brings you close to faith. Conquer your fear.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
2) He consulted God. The help of man is always limited no matter how good their intention may be, vain is the help of man. You need God now more than ever. Seek the Lord.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
3) He praised God in spite of the storm. He overlooked the storm and declared God's goodness. NEVER let the storm push you further away from God and His promises. In fact, it's at such time you need Him more. Col 3:16

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
4) He acknowledged the reality but turned to God for direction. You need to acknowledge the fact of sickness or lack. Faith doesn't deny reality but overlooks it and hold on to God.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
5) He listened to God. Can you quiet yourself enough to listen for God's direction? Don't let the storm becloud your senses to hear God's word.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
6) He worshiped God based on the revelation he got from God's word. He was moved, the reality notwithstanding. In the midst of the storm, you can celebrate when you have heard from God and received comfort.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
God is not going to stop the storm, He would guide you through. Every stumbling block is turning around as stepping stones for you. (Micah 7:1; 2 Cor. 4:17)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
That struggle you're going through is just for a while. Hold on to God and watch Him perfectly, establish, strengthen, and settle you(1 Peter 5:10)

Message Title: Gratitude in Marriage

When a man is grateful to the wife, he will get double from the wife and vice versa. Anytime you're grateful to your spouse your cup overflow.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

Gratitude is an appreciation for something one has done for you. (2 Samuel 9:1) Couples expect their spouse to show appreciation for things done. Whenever this isn't forthcoming, there will be a reaction from such a spouse.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

In a similar vein, God expects us to express gratitude to Him for all He has done for us. The story of the ten lepers portrays this fact. (Luke 17:11-19)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

Whenever you don't show gratitude to your spouse, you are removing something from your spouse. Many times couples focus on things that have not to be done rather than appreciating things that have been done.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

How do you show appreciation in marriage?

1. Never trivialize what your spouse has done; no matter how little it may seem, always appreciate their effort.

Topic: Man in Three Dimension
Text: 1Thess 5:23
Sometimes, we do things amiss without understanding who we are.
Who are you? Do you know what manner of being you are?

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

Man is a combination of three things. The Body, Soul, and Spirit.
Take good care of these three things. Most times you guide your car, phone. Do you guide your spirit?

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

God relates to us through our spirit and if you don't take care of your spirit, you won't hear from God.

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

What do you do to your soul? Mind what gets in your mind.
Nobody makes you feel bad without your consent. Mind what makes you envious of others. These are things that destroy the soul.

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

Protect your spirit from what can quench your fire. Things like laziness, pleasure. Mind what brings these three down (Spirit, Soul, and Body)

Topic: Gratitude, Faith, and Answer

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful. 1Thess 5:16,17 and 18.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

You shouldn't only show gratitude when you receive something but also give thanks even when things don't go as planned.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

There are times where there is no reason to give thanks, but that is the perfect time to show gratitude. In everything, give thanks.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

God defines gratitude differently from the way we define gratitude. Man can deceive you with gratitude but God can not be deceived. God sees the heart; He sees beyond the surface.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

Gratitude is the state of the heart. Some people would give anything to have your kind of life but they have no idea of the challenges you face. Be Grateful.

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

The Law of Trust

“I’m not upset that you lied to me. I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe in you”- Friedrich Nietzsche

Sometimes in October, I received a call from a former client who had been out of the country for almost a year.

He is not a Nigerian but had just secured an appointment with a company. His first statement was “Bayo, I need to pick your brain on this because with you I know where I stand. I know you’ll not deceive me”.

After our discussion, he told me he had already informed his Chairman that their banking relationship had to come to me. I’ve signed it on since.

I’ve had cause to reflect over his statement many times since then. Here was a man whom sometimes I had very difficult conversations with. I’ve had to tell him no when I knew his requests were not possible. Sometimes, the relationship was stormy.

I never fail to tell my colleagues that the major currency for transaction is integrity and this will only be sustained in an atmosphere of trust. Never lie to customers in order to make a sale.

Welp, I have no sound on the phone line for this news conference, so I shall tune in via video. Kenney is speaking and there is a photo of the boreal region.

Lost video too! Before that cut out, Kenney said they are expanding the Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Provincial Park.

Back on the phone line. Environment and Parks Minister Jason Nixon. Athabasca Oil surrendered 23,500 acres in that region. Cenovus surrendered more than 60,000 acres.

Chief Peter Powder, Mikisew Cree First Nation, says we need to protect the watershed, the caribou habitat. Expansion of the Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Provincial Park in the Athabasca Delta will protect most vulnerable species, he says

Powder thanks the federal government for financial support for the parks and thanks the province for supporting the vision.

10 Life Lessons You Won't Learn Anywhere Else.


Previously, I might have given some lessons I have learnt in 24 Months,

By nature man should learn, adapt and survive,

It's through pain that you learn the greatest secrets of life, things we ignore but really matter,

Which lessons?

Let's see,


1. Be ready to unlearn anything- by unlearning, chances of anything happening are infinite,

People change,

Times change,

Feelings change,

When this happens, take a step back, don't bitch around, feel, heal and move on. Create your reality.


2. Relearn- Your existence is random, nature would be so unfair or fair to have you where you are. It's your life, YOU,

It is what it is, just does not work,

You have to make it work, so you must learn,

Faster to even outrun your capabilities.


3. Every man is intimidated by your success- Your success is ONLY important to anyone if it's beneficial to them in a way. It's not about you, it's about them,

Be careful with heights, it's slippery and way too far down.

Some people really benefit from hearing advice that everyone knows, for the same reason we keep schools open despite every subject in them having been taught before.

In that spirit, here's some quick Things Many People Find Too Obvious To Have Told You Already.

Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution. You think you are an exception; you are not. You should not insist on an NDA to talk about it; nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

Technologists tend to severely underestimate the difficulty and expense of creating software, especially at companies which do not have fully staffed industry leading engineering teams ("because software is so easy there, amirite guys?")

Charge more. Charge more still. Go on.

The press is a lossy and biased compression of events in the actual world, and is singularly consumed with its own rituals, status games, and incentives. The news necessarily fails to capture almost everything which happened yesterday. What it says is important usually isn't.

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.

I got a Toshiba T1200, which has a bad screen, and a dead CMOS battery, and I thought the hard drive was broken too...


but I rebooted it and heard a KTHUNK and a really loud spin-up noise and holy shit, the hard drive works!


and it still has files on it. the newest date is January 1994.


It's a 21mb hard drive, with ~37k of bad sectors.

This fucker is never going to spin up again, so I better go find some serial cables and copy shit off now.


The backlight is fucked so I'm shining a flashlight on it.

18 Things I Would Do At 18:

I was a dumb 18-year-old. I thought I had the world figured out. I didn't.

I stayed up till the wee hours. Drank every liquor invented.

Partied non-stop. Woke up after noon.

Surfed the web aimlessly.

Read BS self-help.

Repeat.

If I could do it all over again, here's 18 things I would do...

PHASE ONE: GET MY MIND RIGHT

ACTION #1: Break the chains - I wish I made the decision earlier. I didn't. I was scared. Anxious. Nervous. I knew once I made the decision, there was no going back.

Don't be like me.

Make the decision at 18. The decision to pave your own path in life. To go against the herd. To choose your own adventure. To commit to whatever sets your heart on fire.

ACTION #2: Cut off every negative person in your life.

Scroll through the contacts in your phone...

Notice how the names make you feel.

Delete any and all names that fill you with doubt and negativity.

ACTION #3: Condition your mind to embrace the producer mindset instead of the consumer mindset.

Consume 20% of the time. Produce 80% of the time.

Case closed.

ACTION #4: Set an intention to make $10k a month and write it out every MORNING and NIGHT as if you already achieved it (in the past tense).

Visualize yourself already having the money as you write.

Cheesy?

Yes.

Does it work?

Yes.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...
