THE MULTIPLYING FACTOR OF GOD'S WORD

DAY 20 of 30

THE MULTIPLYING FACTOR OF GOD'S WORD

'But the word of God grew and multiplied.' Acts 12:24 King James Version (KJV)

God's Word can be likened to many things as seen in the Bible itself.
God's word is likened to light according to Psalms 119:105

The same word is likened to a double-edged sword in Hebrews 4 verse 12
It can be likened to Hammer, to Honey to Water among other wonderful analogies.
Also God's word is a seed according to Luke 8:11

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Luke8:11 KJV

However, this short piece is based on the capacity and the potency of the word of God as a seed to grow and multiply.

God's Word is a seed and as such it means it can and it will always exhibit all the attributes of a seed If it is seen as such.
As it is seen from our text today, Acts 12:24, we see that the word of God 'grew and multiplied'

1. Growth: God's word is a living seed and like any living seed it is even more powerful and has the capacity to grow. Under the right conditions, given faith, a good, humble and teachable heart it will grow and produce the right results. That was the first challenge in the parable of the sower. in Mark 4:1-19 , finding the right atmosphere for the word to grow. We need to consciously create that atmosphere.

2. Multiplication: When the word grows, it has the capacity to grow mightily and multiply this is the phase achieved in the parable of the sower in Mark 4:20. This is more vivid when we look at the miracle of a grain of maize that grows and produces over 500 grains on a single cob after it was sown, and it usually has more than a single cob on a stalk. God's word can grow,produce and multiply much more beyond our imaginations.

Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.” Mark 4:20 (NIV)

The secret to achieving this level is to, "like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.” Mark 4:20b

CLOSING

We all love new things...i do too... inviting Jesus as your Lord and saviour is the beginning of a new life,if you haven't done so, please do so today, BY speaking to him like a friend.

Be blessed!

A CALL TO ACTION AND A PRAYER FOR NIGERIA

DAY 19 of 30

NATIONAL ANTHEM (Arise, O Compatriots)
Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labor of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.

Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause;
Guide our leaders right;
Help our Youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.

Today while attending our business opportunity meeting with a couple of friends, I began to reflect on the
prayer which we usually have at the opening and beginning of every meeting, we always sing the second stanza of the National Anthem of our great country (The Federal Republic of Nigeria),My patriotic thoughts have prompted my post for today.

From my thoughts and reflection on the national anthem which was adopted in 1978,there are many lessons to be learnt, but i will mention a few.The first stanza is a call to action while the second stanza is a powerful prayer for any country that would be great and flourish. I personally believe in the greatness of Nigeria.

I learnt in this anthem that the call to action came before the prayer.The call to action is a call to responsibility and to show personal leadership that will lead to our greater good as a country. This informs that when we do what is in our own power to do as individuals and as a nation, God will always fulfill His own part.

We cannot put the cart before the horse. You need to do your own part, we all need to contribute our own quota of work and value for the greatness of our beloved countries and for the greater good of entire mankind.

God bless Nigeria (and the world at large)!

The Seven Baby Steps to Begin your journey to financial peace

DAY 18 of 30

Today's post is a guest post. I have chosen to share an interesting article from an infographic / article I read online by Dave Ramsey. Dave has developed the Baby Steps over years of counseling one-on-one, in small group discussions, with real-world live in Financial circles.MOre of the steps can be read at Dave's web page www.daveramsey.com
Enjoy the concise article

Baby Step 1

$1,000 to start an Emergency Fund

An emergency fund is for those unexpected events in life that you can’t plan for: the loss of a job, an unexpected pregnancy, a faulty car transmission, and the list goes on and on. It’s not a matter of if these events will happen; it’s simply a matter of when they will happen. Learn more

Baby Step 2

Pay off all debt using the Debt Snowball

List your debts, excluding the house, in order. The smallest balance should be your number one priority. Don’t worry about interest rates unless two debts have similar payoffs. If that’s the case, then list the higher interest rate debt first. Learn more

Baby Step 3

3 to 6 months of expenses in savings

Once you complete the first two baby steps, you will have built serious momentum. But don’t start throwing all your “extra” money into investments quite yet. It’s time to build your full emergency fund. Learn more

Baby Step 4

Invest 15% of household income into Roth IRAs and pre-tax retirement

When you reach this step, you’ll have no payments—except the house—and a fully funded emergency fund. Now it’s time to get serious about building wealth. Learn more

Baby Step 5

College funding for children

By this point, you should have already started Baby Step 4—investing 15% of your income—before saving for college. Whether you are saving for you or your child to go to college, you need to start now. Learn more

Baby Step 6

Pay off home early

Now it’s time to begin chunking all of your extra money toward the mortgage. You are getting closer to realizing the dream of a life with no house payments. Learn more

Baby Step 7

Build wealth and give!

It’s time to build wealth and give like never before. Leave an inheritance for future generations, and bless others now with your excess. It's really the only way to live! Learn more

CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY!

DAY 17 of 30

choose to be happy

Many things happen in life which a man might have no control over. However he has control over how
he responds to them. He can choose to be reactive or rather proactive. Effective people in every field are proactive in the face of life's challenges. Choosing to be happy is a proactive approach to life.

Imagine you were a fertile garden that has the potential to bring forth weeds or flowers, which of these two would you rather grow! I bet you will rather be a garden of different beautiful flowers, than be overgrown with weeds and all things negative. You sure are that garden, you are a fruit-bearing tree and today you will choose above all things to be Happy and contented with life, and in this, you will find the positive energy to aspire and be much more than you currently are, remembering that your ‘playing small doesn’t help the world’

While you might not be able to fore tell the outcome of an event with absolute precision, God has given you absolute power and this power is an extension of your ability to choose how you will embrace change and confront the challenges headlong.
Remain unperturbed by the happening of life, your mind is a treasured garden you will constantly guide from the weeds of bitterness, staying happy a recipe to keeping this weeds out and away. If happiness were a choice, wouldn’t you rather choose it now and again? Well, Happiness, sure is a choice.

AFFIRMATIONS!
Some bold confessions might be very useful in times when you are at low ebb. It is a sure way of keeping things in track again. When you choose to be happy you take back your power!

I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY NOW AND AGAIN !
I CHOOSE HAPPINESS EVERY DAY!
I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY NOW AND ALWAYS!
I AM A TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVER SIDE BEARING THE FRUITS OF HAPPINESS IN ABUNDANCE!

Choose Happiness!

THE POWER OF CHOICE

DAY 16 of 30

“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”
― Aristotle

THE POWER OF CHOICE

Man is the greatest of all of God's creatures.He is so endowed and empowered.
Of the greatest of all the many blessings bestowed on us by God is our ability to alter the course of our lives though the power of choice.
I will consider this power of choice from the perspectives of BE-DO-HAVE Philosophy of personal development.

Man can choose to BE. To be is a state of being, this is a component of who you were in the past, who you are in the present and who you
want to be in the future! God has given man the power to influence this amongst all odds through the power of choice.

We can as well choose to do anything within your powers to do. Man can do anything! based on his present level of BEING! If he cannot do it
He just has not become it yet! We can choose to be and to become that which we desire.

Having been and done all within his powers man creates and avenue for himself to have all that comes with it.
So I opine that man can have all he chooses to have by being the kind of person and doing the related actions that are relevant
to him having the object of his desires.

The power of choice is a two-edged sword,which can be used to set about either a positive or negative result.
It is within your power to choose your outcome in every event and even when the outcome is not desirable it has been created by choice either consciously or consciously.

Choose Carefully; choose greatness!

KEEP MOVING!

DAY 15 of 30

KEEP MOVING!

“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”― Martin Luther King Jr.

As a young boy in junior secondary school (high school) I learnt to ride a bicycle- yeah! my Dad bought 'us' a couple of those big bicycles...Rally etc. I learnt that if I wouldn’t fall off, all I needed to do was to just move and keep on moving. To gain and maintain balance I had to keep on moving. This, I discover is true for life as well.

No matter where you are, no matter what you do... do not stop. Keep moving.
Keep moving in the direction of your goals. The obstacles not withstanding

Keep moving in the right direction, do no falter do not be weary you might just be steps away from the reward
but often we cannot see the whole picture until we get there. If you keep moving it will unfold bit by bit, there is no telling what can be achieved if you do not stop and keep walking.

At times you might need to move with energy, Success, I am learning loves speed and there is a form of energy which a moving body has, it is called Kinetic energy. This energy is a component of both the mass of a moving body and its velocity.
Some goals in life need more than potential energy (energy the body has due to its position), they need kinetic energy and as a matter of utmost importance, speed!

Never stop, never give up but keep moving. Even if you must slow down, know definitely it's a momentum-building phase. To achieve that giant stride might require you to move as fast as you can and also with high energy.
You can't possibly switch gears if you were not already moving.

So in the words of the sage “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”― Martin Luther King Jr.

Whatever you do and wherever you are; keep moving...forward!

Move to Greatness!

QUIET TIME; SOME USEFUL RESOURCES

DAY 14 of 30

It's a great day! I believe it will be a wonderful new week as well.
We live in a fast paced word and without proper plannig, prioritization and rescheduling, we will always seem to have little or no time for things that really matter.

However,amidst our busy schedule, we need a quiet time most importantly the first few parts of the day, preferably early hours or late at night. TO reflect,recaliberate and to be in tune with our spirituality depending on our different beliefs.
As a christian, the quiet time is a time when I pray and meditate on God's word and receive fresh ideas and strength for a brand new day.

At times having some links handy on your tablet, phablet or any other mobile device while commuting can also be of great help.
I have shared below a few helpful devotionals ffrom some of the ministries I follow ffrom around the world, this is just a concise list, other qualities still exist outside this list.
