CHERISH QUIETNESS IN YOUR LIFE

Ø  I cherish quietness and will pay anything to have it.

Ø  That is why although we have many rooms in our house I sometimes have to put certain guests in the hotel – to avoid the noise they will make in my home.

Ø  Quietness is precious to me.

Ø  It has great spiritual value.

Ø  For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength... (Isaiah 30:15).

Ø  In the moment of quietness strength is released.

Ø  There is no substitute for inner and outer quietness in your search for answers to the issues of your life. Quietness is what is needed to enhance the quality of one's thought life.

Ø  You must seek it at all costs.

Ø  If your sitting room is too noisy, withdraw to your bedroom.

Ø  Quietness is what you require to invest into your future.

QUITE TIME FOR MEDITATION

Ø  The difference between a success and a failure is that whereas the former invests his time, the latter wastes his.

Ø  Time is an asset of equality, everyone has twenty-four hours daily.

Ø  What must be done is to crave out time to engage your mind in meditation.

Ø  Separate yourself to seek and intermeddle with all wisdom; it will result in a sharp mind.

Ø  Isaac, for instance, who became a marvel to the Philistines, was known to separate himself to think through issues:

Ø  And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming (Genesis 24:64).

Ø  Later, he planted seed in the time of famine and it yielded hundredfold results.

Ø  Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. (Genesis 26:12).He must have engaged a unique approach to it.

Ø  In addition to separation, is the need to create a quiet environment. The effect of Isaac’s ingenuity is still being felt in the Nation of Israel today. Formerly a desert place, it is now a blossoming garden exporting food all year round!

Ø  If you desire wisdom, then you require separation.

Ø  And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; (I Thessalonians 4:11)

Ø  Quietness enhances the quality of thinking.

Ø  When the Jews caught a woman in adultery and asked Jesus, “Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?” (John 8:5), Jesus stooped down and began to write on the ground as if He didn’t hear them.

Ø  I believe in His meditation, He thought, “If I say don’t kill her, these men will stone me because everyone accepts Moses as a mighty prophet.

Ø  But to say stone her is unthinkable. What do I say?” In His quietness, Jesus located a solution and said, ...He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her ( John 8:7).

Ø  Quietness enhances productive reasoning!

CHECK THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

The association you keep will either make or break you.
If you walk with the wise, you become wise yourself; but if you keep company with fools, you are setting yourself up for destruction.

No matter how anointed you are, the moment you begin to walk with a wrong man, you will live a wrong life.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners

EXCELLENCE IS THE MASTER KEY TO BEATING THE WORLD OF RACISM

Your crying to God in prayer is a nuisance to Him, because He expects you to have outgrown certain things by now!

Just as our natural parents expect to have rest as we grow, so also, we must give God an opportunity to rest by putting our mental resources to work.

You are superior to your world.

If the four Hebrew boys in Babylon - Daniel, Shadrack, Meschak and Abednego could beat the Babylonians by their wits, how much more we, under a new covenant with better promises.

Remember that they were found to be ten times better than all their colleagues because an excellent spirit was found in them. Now you know that you not only have an excellent spirit, you have a regenerated, anointed and sound mind.

So how can you fail? Those Hebrew boys were captives in Babylon, yet they earned the respect of everyone - from the King to the commoners.

When a man has results, nobody wants to know whether he is black, white, yellow or even green.

Nothing commands respect like results.

Even in the West today, there are black men who are multi-Billionaires and white men who are paupers.

So you are not disadvantaged as long as you are saved.

You are saved to shine!

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not only for speaking in tongues, but to enhance your understanding.

It is to make you live a smart life.

You are by destiny supposed to outsmart the world, not to be the one always outsmarted, outwitted or out run!
1 Corinthians 2:16 makes it clear that you have the mind of Christ, which according to Paul, is sound, sensible and profound.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)

With the winning combination of a regenerated, anointed and sound mind, what more does anyone need to excel?

That is to say, you have three times more than what an unbeliever has, so you have what it takes to beat the world.

God expects greater results from you and I because He has endowed us with what it takes to make it.

So, sit up! Where you are now is not your end, there is a greater tomorrow awaiting you!

God has given us a brain so we can give Him rest.

When a baby is born, all he needs to do to attract his mother’s attention is cry.

However, as he grows older, his cry does not command the same attention; in fact the first likely thing is that he will be scolded.
