OVERFLOWING LIFE

There are a variety of management courses that universities and schools offer today. But what about mind management? Is it for everyone, schooled and unschooled? Do you hire people to manage your mind like your business or who does the management of your mind? Is it scriptural as a Christian to manage our minds? Let's explore the scriptures. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance, and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23 (AMP). Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do. Proverbs 4:23(NLT). In the olden days, when kings usually led their countries to war, there was a popular and powerful king who felt there was no need to go to a particular war since he had highly trained and skillful military generals. He stayed in his palace, relaxed, listening to the battle report from the news channel. Then something happened, he went to the rooftop of his palace where he could view the whole city, there he...

We are in a dispensation of quick-quick syndrome. Without much effort and at the shortest possible time, people are desperate and desire to get things done at the snap of their fingers.   The Scriptures say, “When the king of Egypt let the people go, God did not take them by the road that goes up the coast to Philistia, although it was the shortest way. God thought, ‘I do not want the people to change their minds and return to Egypt when they see that they are going to fight’ Exodus 13:17” Good News Bible.

The grace of God to us is so elastic that it accommodates all of our failures and problems. But you must stop struggling or adding to Jesus. Jesus is enough. Whatever change or transition you desire, start with yourself by asking Him to help you. Do you see that Jacob did not invite God to come and wrestle with him? It was God who chose to do it. So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. Gen 32:24 (NIV). That’s grace intervention in the affairs of a man. Some of the areas you may need changes that trigger blessings may be:   1. Spiritual Change . This is right and correct knowledge of God and Jesus not about God. This should come with right believing. Don't be surprised that there are things in the Bible that you believed are true and correct in your own way but th...

Even though, the change was caused by a motor accident in which no one prays for such but it has turned to a real blessing to him and his family. Most times, what you need first is not " blessings" it is "Changing or Changes" . Real change that transforms and improve you. The scriptures say “Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered. Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome." Jacob said, "Please tell me your name." But he replied, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed him there. Genesis 32:...
