    -All of you say My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

    Sometime life does not seem to run the way we wish. we all have things that disappoint us, make us

    unhappy. We should always remember God's plans for us are gud and not eveil -just because it seems

    unfair,doesnt means its nt in life plan. Disappoinemets, betrayal are also a part of life. nothing in life

    happens to me, it happens for me, you ve to expect d fact that disappointment may b painful right now,its not going to work against me. what harms you now will b for your advantage in the future. One door

    closes , bigger door will b opened. quiet complaining abt one who betrays you, He may nt like u

    repated one but I give time..and laugh like I listened it for the first time.Jump in and take over even

    when speaker stop for a second.never start unless sum1 finisheshey m tiredrather give 2-3

    undivided attention

    Not every battle is worth fighting.

    Many of the challenges that come our way are simply distractions trying to lure us from our

    destiny.

    When we have opportunities to get upset, maybe somebody is talking about us, or a competitor at work is

    spreading rumors, or our spouse says something that they shouldn't have, we ought to stop and ask

    ourselves, "If I engage in this battle and spend my time and energy trying to straighten somebody out,

    defending myself, arguing with a family member, trying to prove that I'm right, even if I win this battle what

    is the prize going to be? What is this fight going to accomplish?"

    You see, there are a lot of battles that come across our lives each day, but they simply aren't worth the

    fight. The end result is strife and disharmony.

    Proverbs 20:3 says, "Avoiding a fight is mark of honor."

    If you want to honor God and enjoy your life, decide to be a peacemaker. Be the kind of person that willavoid an unnecessary fight.

    If you'll be disciplined to fight the battles that do matter, and take the focus off of those that are less

    important, not only will your relationships be better and your home full of peace, but God will bless you

    because where there is peace and unity, God commands a blessing.

    You have to ask yourself - are the battles I am engaged in worth fighting? Are there any rewards? Are

    they furthering me toward my God-given destiny or I am just fighting to pay somebody back that offended

    me? Am I just fighting to prove to somebody that I am important?

    Now those are distractions. I dare say most of the frustrations that come our way are not worth fighting

    for. If its not btw you and your God -given destiny you should just ignore it.

    Somebody doesnt want to be your friend? Somebody doesnt want to accept you? Thats not going to

    keep you from your destiny. Somebody was rude to you at the office? Somebody cut you off during

    traffic? Thats not worth starting WWIII over. Dont engage in that battle. In the big picture, they wont

    even matter. Dont engage in the pity battles, the non-essential ones or we might miss the Goliaths that

    God has placed in our paths to push us to our God-given destiny.

    The battles that do matter will come. We need to save our strength and energy for whats really important.

    In this day and age, we are too easily offended. We are too touchy.

    Not long ago, I was in Salyan, Kupinde Daha.. We got up early one morning to go for a hike. There was

    this mountain trail that was about 3 miles up and at the base there was a sign that said it should take

    about 4 hrs to get to the top. When I looked at the mountain it was kinda intimidating- it was extremely

    steep. Just walking up I could feel myself breathing heavier than normal. Now I was not sure if I could

    make it to the top.

    First hour seemed fairly easy, the next hour got more difficult. I was breathing heavier and I had to stop

    every so often to catch my breath. After two hours , the trail got extremely steep, almost like I was

    climbing straight up. And I am in shape, Im a runner, but my legs were burning, my chest was

    pounding, and I thought to myself -If theres another 2 hours like this, I dont know if Im gonna make

    it.

    One Villager said one little phrase to me that totally changed my perspective. He didnt know where I was

    headed, he didnt know what I was thinking, but as he passed me, he smiled and said in a real calm

    voice, You are closer than you think.

    When he said that, it was like new life was breathed into my lungs. I could feel strength going into my

    legs, energy coming into my body - I had that second wind. And from then on out, with ever stride I kept

    telling myself, " I am closer than I think."Even though it was difficult, even though it was hurting I kept

    saying, "I am almost at the top. I am going to make it." And sure enough, just ten minutes later, I came

    over these big boulders.

    I don't know where you're headed, what your dreams are, how many obstacles do you have to

    overcome, but let these words sink deep down into your spirit, receive them by faith - You are closer

    than you think.

    A lot of time because we have strength in certain areas, we expect everyone around us to have those

    same strength. We expect them to be able to do what we can do. And if they do not, it frustrates us. In

    our whole life, we spend trying to fix people and make dem just like us. God Did nt bring people into my

    life for me to make dem just like me. God wants US TO BE DIFFERENT,SO WE HAVE DIFF PERSONALITY,

    hobbies, appearance, strength. If We are going to be happy, we must appreciate the differences and not

    let the little things irritate us...Just because they are nt like you does nt mean they are wrong, they are

    just different.Friends you have comeback power in your DNA. You've been created to overcome every

    obstacle, to rise above every challenge. I want you to have this confidence that no matter what comes

    against you, it cannot defeat you.

    WE ALL LOVE TO SEE MIRACULOUS TRANSFORMATIONS.

    Whether its a sports team that goes from worst to first in a single season, a life-saving surgery for a child,

    a person that loses hundred of pounds, or even the amazing home make-overs on TV that take a home in

    much need of TLC and literally transform it into a beautiful mansion we all love the outcome of

    miraculous transformations.

    Anytime we want to have a change though, especially one that will make our lives better, it requires us to

    believe that it can happen. We have to make a choice to have hope.

    Most of us have found ourselves in a place where we were on the edge of losing something very precious

    to seemingly everything.

    Whether youve lost your job, your mortgage is in risk of foreclosure, your relationships are struggling, or

    you or a loved one need healing, I want to encourage you to never give up!

    It all begins with a choice; the choice to never give up. God always completes in us what He has started;

    His good work and good plan. (Phillippians 1:6)- being confident of this, that he who began a good work

    in you will carry it on to completion until the day of ChristJesus.

    I read this experiment that was done with these rats. The researchers wanted to see how their attitude

    affected their will to live. And so they took this rat and put it in a large tub of water with high sides so that

    it could not get out. They put that tub in a totally dark room, and they timed how long the rat would keep

    swimming before he gave up. The rat lasted a little over 3 minutes. They then put another rat in the same

    tub, but this time they allowed a bright ray of light to shine into the room. That rat swam over 36 hours-

    700 times more than the rat with no light.

    Why was that?

    The rat with no light had no hope. When he looked into his future, he didn't see anything. There wasn't

    anything worth living for. That's what happens when we don't get up expecting God's favour- knowing we

    can overcome our obstacles, believing that God's in control. We lose our passion, we lose our

    enthusiasm.

    That's why it is so important, especially in times of difficulty, to keep reminding yourself that the creator of

    the Universe is directing my steps. He has me in the palm of His hands and even though this is difficult, Iknow it's just a matter of time before it turns around. I know my pay day is coming.

    And some of you are just about to give up on a dream. You think it's been too long, it's never gonna

    change, it's never gonna work out. You've gotta get your fire back. Flame that flame - that dream is still

    alive. Even though it's taken a long time, the good news is God still has a way to bring it to pass.

    I want to talk to you today about staying full of hope. God has put dreams and desires into everyone of

    our hearts. We all have goals we want to accomplish, situations we believe will turn around. But so often

    when it has taken a long time and things are not working out, it is easy to lose our enthusiasm.

    Now thats when the negative thoughts come, saying it is never gonna change. Youre never gonna get

    well. Youre never gonna get out of debt. That child is never gonna straighten up. If were not careful well

    get discouraged and well end up just settling where we are.

    Many times we miss out on Gods best because we gave up too soon. We didnt realise how close we

    were to our victory. Just another few days of believing, another few weeks of doing the right thing, or

    another few months of staying in faith and we would see that promise come to pass

    It is the same principle in life - the greatest difficulty is right before the birth Remember its always darkest

    right before the dawn, youre about to give birth to that promise

    WE have life may be good or badwe have been talking abt power of words..we need to b extremly

    careful what we say..so mnay people 2 dae living defated discouraged life becox of words..they say no

    thing good ever happens to me..they do not reelaize their words..their own words r paving the way for

    chasing me nice wherever I go, m excited abt my futurethere is power in our words. Times of hardship,

    when thngs r nt going our way, we should speak positive..what u say in d mix of difficulty, will determine
