Find out why God is blessing you

Have you ever heard someone say “I don’t even know why God is blessing me”? Well, it may come across to you as though the person is being spiritual or trying to magnify the grace of God, but it may as well be the result of ignorance.

If you don’t know why God is blessing you, then there is possibly no way you can effectively play your part in ensuring that the blessing is sustained. It is your responsibility to find out why God is blessing you. It is possible that you just begin to notice multiplied blessings in your life but if you don’t take time out to find out what actions of yours have provoked such manifestations, you will not be able to keep that blessing flowing, neither will you ever be able to help others to replicate same in their own lives.

Unfortunately, believers try to spiritualize everything, no need to research, let the blessings just keep flowing mysteriously. Even organizations study to know what strategy yields the best result for them, so they can channel more effort and resources towards it, but many believers prefer to leave it all to chance.

You must try to find out what you are doing differently now that is making the blessing of God to crowd your life. If it is as a result of seeds you have sown, then you can sow more; or if it is as a result of your being a blessing to people, so that you can do more; or if it is as a result of some new strategy that that you have put into your work or business; or as a result of some new knowledge that you have acquired and so on.

Don’t leave anything to chance, it is not everything about God that is a mystery, certain things are just simple principles that you can learn and put to work in your favour on a sustainable basis.

Stretch

Isa. 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. The concept of stretching is very important for anyone who desires to make any meaningful progress in life. God has so designed everything in a manner that makes it almost impossible to make progress without any stretch. Even the human body grows by this same concept. It has been revealed that for a muscle to grow, it must first undergo "micro-tears." When you lift a weight that is slightly too heavy, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only in the repair of those tears that the muscle becomes larger and stronger than before. If there is no tension, there is no transformation. The "pain" of the stretch is actually the signal that growth is happening. So If the human body grows by stretching, it follows to say that to reach anything significant in this life, we must stretch. God will always require ...

Resist The Pressure to Perform

A quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln says, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe." Yet we live in a time when everyone seems to be more concerned with how quickly they can cut down their own tree than with whether their axe is sharp enough to get the job done. This reflects the intense pressure to perform that many of us face every day. When I speak of the pressure to perform, I am not referring only to workplace demands, but to the pressure we experience in our personal lives to produce visible results. Pressure can be a good thing when it is properly managed. It can motivate us to grow, improve, and reach our goals. However, when left unchecked, it can become destructive. One of the surest ways to manage the pressure to perform is by refusing to let the success of others become a source of unhealthy pressure in your own life. If you allow that to happen, you do yourself a great disservice. It is only natural to...
