SELF-TALK FOR MONDAY

What you say to yourself is called self-talk. Self-talk plays a vital role in our lives. I find the one below very powerful and engaging. Please read aloud to yourself.
Happy reading.
.............
I affirm that I am reigning in life. The blessing of the Lord has made my fame to spread abroad. I am like the city that is set on the hill, I can never be hid by the economic downturn of the world.

I am mightily blessed of the Lord and out of my belly flows prosperity, joy, health, peace, and success.

No man can successfully work to my disadvantage because all things are fashioned to work together for my good.

I am so blessed and nothing is permitted to fail in my hands. Hallelujah!

My address is Christ therefore, I refuse to be perturbed about anything because in Christ, all things are mine.

I am built strong and established firmly in the faith as I walk in the light of God's blessings for my life.

I am the centre of God's operation in the earth; through me, the nations of the world are blessed.

FINDING TRUE PEACE AS A MAN

God chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame before Him in love, and predestined us to be accepted in His presence. It’s part of what His righteousness in our spirits has produced for us; we can boldly stand in the presence of God without guilt, inferiority or condemnation.

No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, how deep in the thraldom or valley of sin you’ve been, you’re accepted in Christ Jesus. You don’t have to run from God, because of your sins. Imagine His gracious invitation in Isaiah 1:18; He said, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." He’s not mad at you. Submit to His righteousness. Embrace His love. Trust Him with your life, and He’ll make your life glorious.

Now that you’re born again, you’re in Christ; He’s already accepted you; you’re in Him. You dwell in His presence. In His presence, you’re at liberty; you don’t have to be afraid; you’re free to express yourself and be yourself. You’re at liberty to function for Him and live for Him.

Some people are still living their lives in hope that God will accept them based on their good works. But that’s not going to work! The Bible says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Furthermore, Galatians 2:16 says, "...by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified"; that means accepted and declared righteous before God!
You don’t have to feel insecure or uncertain about your standing with God. Be bold, confident, assured and glad that you belong to Him; that He brought you into oneness with Himself.

STAND OUT, NOT GIVING IN

Do you realize you were born to be an example of goodness? A lot of people are caught up with the activities of daily living that they are so unconscious of this fact. This is why it is so vital to spend some minutes everyday to meditate, which helps to build the right consciousness into your being. This is because, what you are not conscious of, you are unlikely to take action on. In this piece below, you will find out why you should strive to be an example of good things.
..........
The most important thing in your life as a Christian is your salvation. There’s no worldly accomplishment that can compare to it. Everything else you do; all the glory in this world without your salvation is nothing. Therefore, prize it above everything else.

Our primary reason for preaching the Gospel— doing all we do to help others find their salvation—is our salvation. Sadly, there’re people who, after labouring and doing so much for the Gospel, lost their salvation because they went out of the way. They allowed some misguided people lure them away from the Word, and soon, they began to fight for things of this world and of the flesh. Your salvation is the most important thing; don’t trade it for anything.

If a man loses his salvation, he loses everything, regardless of how many conferences he may have attended or how many people he may have led to Christ. Protect your salvation. Keep it, and don’t allow anyone or anything destroy it. Don’t lead yourself astray, and don’t give anyone that opportunity. There’re hawks, wolves in the church who won’t spare the flock, and will for personal gain, do just anything to lead you in their pernicious ways.

Never forget that when you came to Christ, you came alone. God called you alone; just the same way the Bible tells us He called Abraham alone (Isaiah 51:2). That you have received Christ isn’t enough; that’s only the beginning. You must keep building yourself in Him, and growing in, and by His Word.

.....
Now if you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ, it's time you do so. God is near you, waiting for you to accept His offer of salvation. Maybe you were a good Christian but somewhere along the line, you got derailed, well there is still hope for you. There is always hope for you as long as you have the breath of life. Give God your life. Accept the sacrifice if His Son, Jesus Christ today.

BECOMING MORE THAN YOU ARE

There’re different levels of prosperity and you must keep challenging yourself to go higher. Some are at the level where they have just enough to get by, but it’s not enough to have enough. God’s plan is for you to live in superabundance, where you’re powerful and influential enough financially to do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, however you want to do it!
Don’t be comfortable to have just enough for you and your family.

Don’t be comfortable with having only all you need; challenge yourself to achieve more. You need to prosper exceedingly, not just for you and your family, but so you can be of help to those in need. Be the one that blesses others. This is what God told Abraham: “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2).
God isn’t interested only in blessing you; He has blessed you and made you a channel of blessing. Our opening verse reveals the purpose for your labour; it’s so that you’ll have to give. There’s a blessing for the one who gives. Others must benefit from your prosperity.

Someone says, “My business is doing very well; and everything is fine in my family....” Is that really all there is to life? Is that what Jesus died for? What about others who don’t have enough? When the children of Israel went out to the Promised Land and were taking their inheritance, Joshua said to them, “...The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land...but ye shall pass before your brethren armed...and help them...Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you...” (Joshua 1:13-15). This should be your attitude: live beyond yourself and be a blessing to others.

YOU CAN BE UNSTOPPABLE

As a Christian, your life is preordained by God; predestination is at work in you. Nothing happens to you by chance, neither is your life by chance. You’re responsible for the outcome of your life. He gave you authority in His Name.

This lets you know that nothing can limit you. Your age, the economy of the nation where you live, the colour of your skin, your family, educational and financial background, shouldn’t be a limitation. Nothing and no one can place a limit on you. This is God’s blessing for every one of His children, and He gave you the Holy Spirit, to be your sufficiency. With Him, you can be anything, do anything, go anywhere, and be all that God destined you to be.

You don’t have to struggle to be a success, because you function with His ability and wisdom. He’s your wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30). What you have to understand is how to walk with Him, and function in His wisdom, beyond your human ability. God’s wisdom in you is a force that causes you to walk in His perfect will all the time, and be successful in all that you do.

Let nothing limit you. Acknowledge the Holy Spirit as your secret of success. He’s the One at work in you, and He’s an unlimited personality, with unlimited powers, abilities, and potentials. He’s the limit breaker. Recognize His work and ministry in you. That consciousness will produce a divine force that propels you to success and victory continually.

ENDLESS PROSPERITY

Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel...And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead (1 Chronicles 29:26, 28).

There’re people who, at a certain time, were doing very well in life; everything looked okay with them. But somewhere along the line, they lost everything they had acquired, not because somebody stole from them, but what they possessed suddenly became too small; the society grew bigger than them. Suddenly, the money they had, which used to be substantial, became paltry. Their vehicles became too old, and outdated. Their lives took a downward slide; everything simply changed.

What could have happened? They had thought their lives would be beautiful all the way, but no; things turned sour, and they couldn’t believe it. Some of them have come to even accept that life is that way; “it’s full of ups and downs,” they say. But they’re wrong! Jesus said, “...I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain...” (John 15:16). That means endless prosperity; your success shouldn’t be short-lived.

Think about David: the Bible says he died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honour (1 Chronicles 29:28). It was the same thing with Abraham. There’re men and women described to us in the Bible who were rich, influential, powerful, successful, and served God in righteousness till their days were over; they had a great life all the way.

You can live in abundance every day. That’s God’s plan for you. Don’t live in the past; don’t be among those who’d say, “I used to be very rich, but things went bad.” Be at the cutting edge of everything! Be ahead of your generation, through adherence to spiritual principles revealed to us in God’s Word. And when you’re successful, you don’t have to be afraid about whether or not your success will last, because the Bible says, “...the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). That’s endless prosperity. Let this be your consciousness and cogitation always.

SUPERCHARGE YOUR LIFE NOW!

You cannot CHANGE Yesterday, but you can do something TODAY that can change tomorrow! It doesn't matter How you were BORN, that was yesterday. It doesn't matter what happened last 5years, the last 10 years. You may not be able to change that. But you can reposition yourself today.

You can make new decisions today, that will change what tomorrow will bring. INVEST in your FUTURE.
Refuse to be a Mental hobo!
Refuse to end your Life on the side walk! I believe in your FUTURE!
There's a reason I believe in your future. I believe that if you hear these words, you will act on them and they change your future. None of you was Born to be POOR! You may have been poor BUT you were not Born
to be poor! You may have been brought up poor, BUT you were not brought up to be POOR!

Understand this The definition of ADULTHOOD is RESPONSIBILITY.
When you become an adult, you take
responsibility for your future. Become Responsible! What do you have in yourself? There are many who cry for help and because there are no answers to their call for help, they feel the pangs and pains of neglect. NO! Refuse to GIVE UP!
Believe in what God made, GOD MADE YOU and HE NEVER MADE a FAILURE. Believe that GOD has a PURPOSE for your LIFE. You may have been born as a parental accident but you are not a DIVINE ACCIDENT. God knew you were coming and he made sufficient provisions for you!

There is a place for you in the world. There are certain things You must do. There are things that are not in abundant supply, they are limited one is TIME.
Save TIME!
Save IT!
Keep TRACK of your TIME.
The Bible says for us to redeem the time for the days are evil. YOU don't have extra time. Life is not a GAME, therefore make everyday count! Improve yourself everyday!
Introduce something into your Life that counts. CHOOSE to be a SUCCESS! Become inspiring!
Distinguish yourself with character with excellence! If you are a Musician be a musician with a difference!
Become inspiring! Whatever you do, do it with excellence.

Put your best into what you do and change your World! Remember there is no Extra time. Whatever you do now, do it the Best way the FIRST TIME. Success is waiting for the man who says YES to SUCCESS! SUCCESS is waiting for the man who plans for IT, who reaches out for IT! Who says I will wake up and he wakes up, who says I will read this book and He does. Who says I will go to school and he goes. SUCCESS is waiting for the Man who makes a
DECISION.

Time is Important!
Time is Important!
Change the Position, SAY to yourself I will be WATCHED. There are those who only think of designer perfume, designer clothes, designer shoes where are your own designs? CHALLENGE yourself for the future!

There's room for you!
There's a place for you at the top!
TRAIN your MIND and USE IT!
Give yourself to a teacher.
Give yourself to a TUTOR.
Train yourself, train your MIND!
If you train your Mind, IT will be ready to deliver to you the right thoughts and ideas that will earn you COMMERCIAL VALUE. There is No poverty for the man, who has made
an INVESTMENT in his MIND and his willing to ACT! There's no hunger for the man who has trained his mind to think through every problem, to solve
every problem. Train yourself, think through a problem, render solution and let men come to you for advice!

Decide to Be SMART! Decide to Be a problem solver. If you make that decision, that is what you will
be. Problem solvers are in short supply in the world. There's a place for a man who decides to be
excellent!

Distinguish yourself!
Engage yourself in national issues.
It is time to PUT your Best into what you do! GET BETTER and BIGGER!
Be excellent!!!!
