LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE (season3) LIFE 5

Blessed Friday morning to you and yours in Jesus Name!

Today is the last day for our deliberation on life and it being progressive. A lot have been said and you can follow the trend @ www.pstiyke.blogspot.com

Yesterday I cautioned that young people in our generation, as young as 26years old, die of Stroke. Before now, Stroke was only associated to the elderly, but now the music is changed. Consider this information I got about life expectancy in Nigeria "The average life expectancy in Nigeria, which was put at 52 years as of 2011 by the World Bank’s recent report, is the 17th lowest in the world." and of recent it's 48 with male dying more than female. In most Asian and European countries life expectancy is at 75 to 80 even 90 years.

I suspect that somebody might quickly say "it's the report of the Lord that we'll believe! I also believe with you and I don't have anything against that, but does the report of the Lord also say we should be careless with our lives? Like I said yesterday, it's better we intensively care for our lives before the doctors will admit us into the intensive care unit where serious medical conditions are handled and life seems to hang on a pendulum.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY LIFE?

1. Stop stressing: Stress is a weapon from the hand of the devil to finish us on time. Most of the things that bring stress our way are activated by us. All the dodging through another route so that your creditor won't see you, is stress. Much stress! The wisdom here is don't owe! Live within your means! BE CONTENTED!!! Contentment helps you live a better life, but has become an endangered species in this our highly competitive world.

Allow me to continue on this thought on Monday, but for today, let me end it by saying that none can add a cubit to his or her live by stressing, instead what you do is, you subtract the cubit from your life. It is this many subtraction of cubits that has reduced life expectancy in sub saharan Africa.

Shalom!

If it made sense to you, kindly share with your friends!

LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE (season3) LIFE 4

A very good Thursday morning to you. God Bless you with favour and access into important places.

Still on our life is progressive matter, we are now on the need to focus on life because there has to be LIFE (in place) before progress can be considered. We looked at, and understood the source of life.

Today, our concern is how well do we care for our lives? A man (Komla Dumor of BBC news) I admired so well in the area of communication and dressing slumped and died recently in his home in London. Just last week my wife also told me of her course mate who was a pastor, he complained of heart and suddenly slumped and died too.

These days, stroke does not wait for anyone to be old. Young men/women as young as 26 years old, die and are attacked by Stroke. I sincerely want to caution that taking care of your life is key! Don't get busy with your work that you forget you need life to do the work.

Life expectancy in Nigeria is now 45years and that is too bad. I am making a clarion call to as many that are willing to answer, please take care of your life. You really do not need the doctors to rush you into the intensive care unit (ICU) before you intensively take care of your life.

Tomorrow, I will attempt to show us how to take care of our lives but before then let me end by saying, that life is what makes living meaningful. If you don't have life you cannot live. Doctors, Lawyers, bankers, pastors, researchers, broadcasters etc whatever work that you do, which is so demanding, please try and strike a balance between taking care of your work and also your life.

We need you around and it's my prayer that you will not be a victim of 45years life expectancy.

I love you! Shalom!!

LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE (season 3) LIFE 3

LIP (season 3) LIFE 3

Good Wednesday morning with heavenly blessings of peace and prosperity!

Life being in place, for life to be progressive has been our focus for this week. Life, like I said yesterday, is only for the living. The dead don't have life and to be dead means to be out of touch or sync with the source of Life.

Let me quickly say that if you are out of touch with God, take this article seriously and connect yourself back to LIFE through the finished work of calvary by allowing Christ Jesus to come into your heart and reside there. The spirit that gives life is only found in Jesus. "...for the law of the spirit of LIFE in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." If you miss the former, the latter becomes your portion. If you miss life, you can't escape death.

Be wise and do the right thing. What actually is in vogue is to have Jesus in your life. If He is not inside of you, you don't know what's up and you are old fashioned!
That is the concept of life having an origin and the need for one to connect to the origin and source of life.

Having explained that, I want to look at life from another angle. I visited an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for the 1st time last week and it looked like I went into a mortuary. The ambiance and atmosphere was anti-human and it got me thinking until I came to the conclusion that if we pay attention to taking care of our lives, we might not need ICU. Very critical medical cases are handled in the ICU but most medical cases might not have graduated to being critical if due diligence was observed.

I will continue on this thought tomorrow, but for now, let me end it by saying that if you can care for your system very well, you will not need for it to be cared for intensively. Once again, don't forget that life is for the living so if you want to keep living, please take care of your life.
Shalom!

Kindly share with friends too.

LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE (season3) LIFE 2

LIP (season3) LIFE 2

We are now at the season or week 3 of our discuss on Life Is Progressive, but interestingly the question came heavily to me, Can Progress happen if Life is not in place? Absolutely impossible!

The major focus now is on how not to lose life. I must quickly alert us that people are losing their lives strictly on carelessness and that ought not to be. Life is for the living and it's only when life is in place that we can talk about progress.

Yesterday we looked at the source of life and the fact that if you are not connected to the source of life, you cannot be said to be alive. Connection guarantees life and separation simply means death. You are dead if you are separated from the source of life. You are dead if you are not connected to God.

There are two major laws operational on earth and truly there is no middle ground. If you are not under the first law, you would be under the second.

What are these laws?

1. The law of the spirit of life

2. The law of sin and death

Apostle Paul said: "... for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

The wages of sin is death and the soul that sinneth shall die because the catalyst that activates the climate of death and dying is SIN. On the other hand, notice that the law of the spirit of Life is only in Christ Jesus, you can't get it else where. Again, it's only in Him, we live, move and have our being.

Let me end it by saying that any life that sidelines the source of life will end in death. Once again bear in mind that the ability to breath in and out does not translate to being alive. You are truly alive when He who lives forever lives inside of you.
Shalom!

LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE (season 3) LIFE

LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE (season3) LIFE

A wonderful Monday morning to you and it's my prayer that this week will bring you great opportunities for expansion.

On this 3rd season of our deliberation "LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE," we will start with a closer look at life itself.
> Would we ever be talking about progress without life?
> Is the state of death not the state of permanent stagnancy?
I said all to say that it takes Life for any form of progress (gradual or rapid) to be recorded.

So before I continue talking to you about progress, I honestly have to talk to you about life. Life does not drop from the sky, it has an origin. Life is someone's copyright or brainchild. Life begins when life is connected to its source. Another way to say it is that you are truly alive when you are connected to the source of life.

Does it mean that people who are not connected, are not alive? YES! That you have not slumped and died does not mean you are alive if you are not connected. Functionality does not mean life. Life is functioning strictly by the supplies, nutrients and current that come by the source of life. "It is truly IN Him we live, move & have our beings."

Let me end it by saying that, the devil who adulterated and counterfeits everything from God will only give an adulterated and a counterfeited life. There is nothing like the original! God is the source of life! Staying connected to Him means being alive! Indeed you are alive when/if God lives in you. You need that kind of life to experience the kind of progress we've been discussing.

It continues tomorrow and I'll show you how it works. Shalom! If it blessed you, Pls bless someone by sharing!

LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE (season 2) Goal setting 6

A very good morning to you this Friday morning.

As I bring our discussion on how to progress in life to an end for this week, I need to remind you that strategies are needed in goal setting. A general strategizes on how to win a battle, a coach strategizes on how to win a match and you must also strategize on how to win in life.

One of the worst things that can happen to anybody is to put what is last first and put what is first, last. People short change themselves when they put God last and put their understanding first. One of the benefits of strategy is the ability to know what comes first and what comes next.

Let me assume that I have a friend that is into fish farming. My thinking now is, will that my friend go ahead to buy fish without putting the pond in place? What was it that made Adam to come after Eden? Why didn't he come before Eden?

Let me attempt to end it this way, Never make the mistake of not prioritising your goals. Most people have experienced serious wreck because they married prematurely. The easiest way to escape a life of regret is to arrange things in their proper order.

Whatever is done before the right time is wrong, whatever is done after the right time is wrong, but whatever is done during the right time is beautiful for He makes all things beautiful in its Time.

If it made sense, kindly share. God Bless you and have a great weekend. We continue again on Monday.
