Almost everyone prays to God for one things or the other every time at everywhere. Many will embark on fasting and other religions activities as a way of getting God’s attention of grant their desires on time. Though, I have nothing against such efforts but you should know God is not difficult or far away from you. If you can grant Him your attention you will surely get it.
Life is joint venture between men and God: we are in a partnership with our maker. He is the principal while men are the subordinates. If you are dealing with senior colleagues or principal partners, you must carry out your obligation first before expecting him/her to do the final exercise. If you can give your God total devotion, attention and commitment he will grant you your hearth desired with speed. Many people know how to request without finding how and what to give, that is the reason why they are not getting what they request for.
God need those He will send to feed the poor, cloth the naked, help the weak, house the homeless, care orphan the aged. He has needs of those that will teach others the truth for them to change to living righteously and Godly. Let God use you for he will not come down to carry out any of these functions but does them through human agents. That is, those that will make themselves available for his use, be one of them by making yourself available for Him. Choose to do all you can to touch the lives around you and God will not keep quiet on your matter.
Expect a change in your situation; once you make yourself God’s own person to meet people’s needs, you needs shall be automatically met. God will visit you with blessing today.

POVERTY
Agree or refuse to remain poor. Been born from poor background is not enough for you to live in abject poverty. Your background must not keep you permanently on the ground of poverty. Know that no one is born poor, every one in life is born the same; from the king on the throne, the president in the president villa to the beggar on the street. Every one was conceived of woman for nine months and delivered the usual way. No one’s blood has poverty gene. What is different however is our circumstances of birth; the environment and the parentage.
The good news therefore is; you can work to change your circumstances and situation in life, no condition is permanent. I have seen those born into affluence, which mismanage the wealth and became poor and I have seen those born into little or nothing but with sheer determination, hard work and divine assistances change the course of their history. Poverty is not genetic, it is in the mind.
To change your course history, you must hate the status quo. Until you hate the present status the ‘new you’ will not emerge. If you love the way you are, the things you do, how you do them and the result you get you have automatically shut the door against improvement. To hate the status quo is to say “I am more than this”. Know that the enemy of best is good, if you keep thinking and saying this is good enough, then your best will not emerge. While you should be happy whit what you have, you must not be satisfied the way you are. Do something about your situation.

Spread it
Diseases like chicken pox, tuberculosis are infectious but thank God, it is not only diseases that are contagious, but love also.
Love can be spread to heal and save rather than to kill like diseases.
Love is a healing balm, a form of physical therapy that if administered, many live would be saved. Love can be demonstrated in many ways but the greatest of it is in giving. Giving is so profound that you can give without loving but you cannot love without giving. Today is boxing day; not a day to fight everybody around you but to show love to other. Give to the needy and help the helpless.
Giving is the central theme of love. Even God demonstrated His love through giving; He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to take away the sin of the world so that we will not perish. The deeper you love, the costlier the gift you give. When people complain that no one loves them, I let them know that they too need to show love to people because the law that guides love is reciprocity. It is what you sow that you will reap. The seed you refuse to sow will not produce the harvest you need.
As the year is running to an end, list out a few people that are very important to you. Everyone is important but not everyone is important to you. List out the ones that have touched and are still touching your life and pray for then fervently. Pray for then to have a major breakthrough in the coming year and that no misfortune should befall them.
However, prayer only is not enough, also send them gifts. There is no better time than now to show love to those that are dear to you.

The Highest Place
Every man born into this world is supposed to set at least a goal for him/her, and set out modalities to achieve it. In the course of achieving your goals, you may become famous or not. Whatever it cost you, it is all about achieving that which gives you fulfillment as a person.
An achieved goal may also lift you to the so called place of honor, respect and satisfaction. And this is where I long to be – highest place, a place of dignity, recognition, excitement and high esteem. For this reason over the years I have been pondering on step to take that will catapult me to this highest place. I thought of going into politics and become a world politicians like Abraham Lincoln. I’ve also thought of becoming neurosurgeon and saving lives, like Ben Carson. I’ve also thought of becoming an international preacher, all in quest to reach the highest place.
I know that I am not the only person searching for this recognition. It is everybody’s dream, even infants, I have a friend who determine to build a world class airport before he is 30, what about jane, who has planned to be an astronaut at 19? These are just a few of the ambitious people like me. Of course, everyone is allowed to set realistic goals, but must be ready to achieve them.
However, I got to know the high place in the life after some series of research I call it the “highest of the highest place”. It might not be the place you are thinking of. It is not the Nigerian Aso Rock, nor is the US White House or the Queen’s Throne.
The highest place to be is the feet of the almighty. In His presence there is liberty. This is the greater honor and higher calling; a place where you get protection, happiness and success; a place where you behold the glory of the Almighty and obtain mercy; a place where every yokes are destroyed and broken heart are mended; a place where you get everything you need in life and beyond.
As we go on achieving our goal in life, let us always aspire to be in the highest place, meditating on His Word, rendering quality worship and preaching the good news. This is the highest place, and I will be glad to meet you there.
