Motivation is up to you

Motivation can be a powerful tool for achieving any goal. It can help you to stay focused and determined when things seem to be getting in the way. It can also help you to keep working hard when you might otherwise feel like giving up. There are many ways that you can motivate yourself when it comes to reaching your goals. One of the best ways that you can do this is by staying positive. When things start to get tough, it can be tempting to give up. But if you keep a positive attitude and remind yourself why you are doing this, then you will be more likely to succeed. Another way that you can motivate yourself is by setting small goals along the way. Once you set a goal for yourself, it becomes much easier for you to stay motivated as long as you continue to meet your goals and reach your milestones along the way.

Live and Love

We can choose how we’ll respond to the people in our lives, whether they’re friends or family. To live and let live means to be open and accepting of everyone around you. It means not judging others and opening your heart to everyone you meet. It also means that you should respect the boundaries between yourself and others, even if they feel uncomfortable or wrong. By doing so, you’ll be creating space for others to do the same. This can lead to a world of harmony and love.

Life is Precious

Most people don’t consider precious moments until they are gone. The ability to seize the moment and make the most of it is a skill that can only be developed with practice. By living in the present, you will be able to appreciate every moment more fully and truly know how precious they are.

 Some of these moments include:

 Time spent with family and friends.

 Time spent with hobbies or interests.

Time spent on activities such as sports or volunteering.

Time spent in nature.

Time spent reading or writing.

Time spent alone to reflect on life’s lessons and learning.

These are all important moments in our lives that we can reflect on in the future. Telling our kids and grand-kids about precious moment means so much to them as they pass it on to their kids and grand-kids is truly a blessing.

ABSOLUTE TRUTH

The Word of God Lives

Child, Reading, Bible, Bed, African, Education, Boy

These words of the spirit of the Lord to the church of Sardis, so many years ago, are here for us to grab a hold of so that it could give us the strength to bring victory in our lives today.

 

Revelation 3 Amplified Bible (AMP)

Message to Sardis

“To the angel (divine messenger) of the church in [a]Sardis write:

“These are the words of Him who has [b]the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: ‘I know your deeds; you have a name (reputation) that you are alive, but [in reality] you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen and reaffirm what remains [of your faithful commitment to Me], which is about to die; for I have not found [any of] your deeds completed in the sight of My God or meeting His requirements. So remember and take to heart the lessons you have received and heard. Keep and obey them, and repent [change your sinful way of thinking, and demonstrate your repentance with new behavior that proves a conscious decision to turn away from sin]. So then, if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. But you [still] have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes [that is, contaminated their character and personal integrity with sin]; and they will walk with Me [dressed] in white because they are worthy (righteous). He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] will accordingly be dressed in white clothing, and I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess and openly acknowledge his name before My Father and before His angels [saying that he is one of Mine]. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches.’

HOW TO BEAT DEPRESSION and OPPRESSION

Be strong and let your heart be encouraged because the other side is only destruction.

For our Father God, in the name of Jesus, have a purpose for your life. Depression and oppression is not a part of it. Don’t let your mind dwell on those things, instead dwell on those things that are true, the wisdom of God (his word). In His word you will find that he directs your path in a straight and narrow way. Do not let the enemy in any way persuade you from the love of God. Getting to know God, His Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit is priceless, because the natural man cannot receive the things of the spirit, they are foolish to him and they are only discerned by the spirit of God that’s in you. (I Corinthians 2:14)

If you have or have not asked Jesus to come into your heart and fill you with his spirit it won’t hurt to ask again, this will make your relationship unquestionable and don’t listen to the devil trying to make you believe that you’re not saved. To communicate with God is only a good thing. Use his power and strength to raise you up into deliverance. Let him know you need him and confess that he is welcome in your body, spirit and soul.
You see that there is no time to be oppressed or depressed because you have work to do on you and for others. Now may Grace and Peace be magnified unto you.
