Shalom to you. Grace be multiplied to you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We have entered the 2nd half of the year 2018. To maximize and effectively make the most of the 2nd half, we must forget and cast away the 1st half (only taking the lessons gleaned in wisdom).
Anyone can win the game, if the 2nd half goes very well. That should be our focus. A lot may have happened, but there are greater possibilities ahead of us.
As long as we humble ourselves before the Lord and keep learning; as long as we open our minds to knowledge; as long as we open up to new ways of thinking and doing things; if we keep learning, we will keep changing.
If we keep changing, being diligent in grace... we will keep growing. If we keep committed to growing, it will be only a matter of the DUE SEASON of this stage of our lives.
Never forget this - every man, every ministry has its unique race. Don't compare yourself to another. Keep challenging yourself according to your potentials and the vision you carry, but never compare yourself to another.
Every race has a grace, and every grace has a pace. Live your life at the pace of grace.
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in DUE SEASON we shall reap if we do not lose heart (faint)." Galatians6:9
If you were off track, retrace your steps this 2nd half. If you were off your game, bring it on this 2nd half. Be patient and pull out all that God has taught you in years past. Also be humble to learn what you didn't know. Hey, if you've got it, let's see it now!
Know that as long as you keep moving; as long as you keep growing; as long as you keep yourself in the perfect will of God; as long as you keep believing and working hard; THEN everything is going to be alright. It will all end in praise. You will never be ashamed of your life. The waters of defeat will reject you and the pits of shame will vomit you out. You will only be flying on the wings of grace.
I pray that you be strengthened in your heart with might by God's Spirit. I pray for you this day for sweet victories and CEASELESS TESTIMONIES in Jesus Name. You are a success. You are the envy of nations. You are your Father's treasure. You are my joy and crown before the presence of our Lord. Be blessed.

No one is your God, and you are nobody's God too. We must be careful not to let people play 'God' in our lives. Neither should we also sit down to judge what might happen in the life of others because we are not their God.
DON'T EVER THINK YOU KNOW HOW A MAN WILL END IN LIFE BECAUSE YOU KNOW HIS PAST FOOLISHNESS.
God has a way of confounding the wise with the foolish, and the strong dumbfounded by the weak.
A man's past is God's canvass with which He paints the man's future masterpiece. He specializes in turning ashes into beauty. He is God and He is Lord.
If we have to judge men, then we must judge the righteous judgments of God. We should give mercy and grace where God gives them. We must be long-suffering where God's righteousness suffers long. Yes, just as God judges. Our thoughts for people should be thoughts of good, peace and a future with a glorious end.
Never wish a man's failure or downfall to prove that you were right when you judge. I always ask God never to prove me right with the failure or destruction of one I 'assume' or even know is wrong.
We don't have any point to prove if we are living out God's will in our lives. No one has to be right. All that matters is that we all please God, and His Son Jesus Christ be glorified in us. Once Jesus is glorified, all things will work together for good. It will all end in praise for all.
But in all these, recognizing where and when we miss the mark is very vital. Acknowledging the wisdom of God and quickly submitting to His will is supernatural. Repentance and restoration is the exclusive privilege of the huios (mature sons) of God. The quicker, the more mature. If you were wrong, bear the fruits of repentance and not the stones of pride or the ashes of guilt.
As much as no one is our God, God judges our hearts according to how we love one another as the Spirit of Christ supplies grace. We must not be careless in breaking godly covenants; rebelling in our hearts against God ordained authorities in our lives; speaking or acting in pride; being ungrateful and forgetting those who have truly blessed us.... these things are the fruits of the flesh, fueled by the spirit of worldliness. We must then know when we are tempted and violently resist such complacency.
I exhort you to remember that the God-kind of faith works by love. No one is your God, but your God knows your true devotion by how you treat those He placed in your life. Examine yourself and see if you have recompensed good with neglect and carelessness. Have you treated lightly covenants the Holy Spirit led you into? Have you allowed the peripherals of this passing world to rob you of the eternal verities like faithfulness?
No one is your God, but God can be revealed through one. God can be believed through one. God can be known through one. God can be experienced through one.
"Who is ... we are ministers through whom you believed, AS THE LORD GAVE TO EACH ONE." 1Corinthians3:5
WHEN GOD GIVES YOU ONE AS ABOVE, HE HAS GIVEN YOU A HEAVENLY GIFT. TREAT SUCH ONE AS A GIFT AND NOTHING LESS.
God is set to amaze you again. Don't get hung up on the past. A new season has begun for us. No one else has to believe it, but they will surely celebrate with us (or envy us).
You are a burning and a shining light. Keep radiating His glory. Be blessed.

God cares about what happens to us. He cares about our circumstances. I truly care about what happens to us too (Yes, I pray dearly for all God has committed to me).
But we must know that it only gets better, if, and only if, we do His will in those trials. We must not devise 'other' ways out.
The will of God is our only way out; the wisdom of God is our only way up; faith in the greater One who lives in us is the only victory.
The temptation is the pressure to try out other ways that may seem more sensible - a short cut; but it's only a set up.
Don't let the enemy set you up for a fall. Don't be unaware of his wiles...
He is not after your ministry, marriage, family, career, finances etc. No, he is only after the word of God in your spirit and your precious faith.
No matter the noise, the devil can't steal or destroy a 'farthing' from your life, if you stay in the will of God, and your faith refuses to waver. The devil knows it; do you?
The trials we face today is only the testing of our faith. Keep yourself in the love of Christ. Keep yourself in His mercy by giving others mercy. Don't waver in your faith. Don't let the sun go down on your anger. Resist that spirit of anger, for the wrath of man cannot work God's righteousness.
"It's not what happens TO you that determines the outcome of your trials, but what happens IN you. So guard your heart" --- David Ifechukwu.
I know that our trials may be more painful than others can imagine; but what you want at the end is not sympathy, but victory. You want this momentarily trial to work for you an exceeding weight of glory. You want to be approved after enduring and overcoming through faith, to receive a crown of life in Christ Jesus.
I encourage you today to immerse yourself in God's word without bias. Be slow to speak, slow to wrath, but quick to hear. Hear more of God's word until your heart is saturated with Him.
What you need is a faith support system. Surround yourself with people who will strengthen your faith. Create a faith-filled environment around you. Eject every voice and avoid everyone (no matter how dear) that may strengthen your doubts or pain. Don't accept the fellowship of failures or any sympathizers' party.
I declare that every valley be exalted and every mountain be leveled; that every crooked place be made straight for you.
Instead of shame, you have double.
My God makes a way for you out of every trial your are facing now and gives you victory. Light shines for you in dark places.
Things are turning around in your favour. Your healing springs forth as a perfect dawn in Jesus Name.
Before this year is over, you'll have many ground-breaking earth-shaking testimonies in Jesus Name.
Begin to praise God, for He is good and His mercy endures forever!
Be blessed!
