Get out of your Comfort Zone






Joseph was convenient in potiphar's house. He had all he needed.  From food to cloth, comfort... But he could not have become a prime minister staying in potiphar's house.

So some things happened and he had to go to jail.  And from jail,  he became the prime minister.
I am not saying you have to go to jail before you achieve purpose.  I am only saying that sometimes that comfort zone is not your limit.  You might think you are comfortable, you don't need to press further.  Let me tell you something,  when you get to the next level,  you would know you haven't reached anywhere.

Most times getting to that promised land isn't easy. You might have to pass through a lot of challenges.  These challenges build you for where you are going to be. Joseph was the head of the prison.  It was preparing him to be the head of Egypt.  The Israelites had to go through the wilderness before they got to the promise land.

But to a layman,  it would look stupid like from prison to palace. But when God steps into your situation,  even abnormal things begin to happen.

Don't waste your time in your comfort zone. Go out into the world. You are limited by your thoughts.  Think big.  Develop your talents.  Make meaniful connections.  See the good in everything.  Settle for nothing less.

Sometimes until life stretches you,  you don't know what you are capable of.  You limit yourself to that elasticity limit,  not knowing you can still stretch further until you are broken.  And those broken pieces create a new view that the world hasn't seen yet!

Get out now!!

Normality in Abnormality Part 4

Thank you for following up the series... Our Bible reference is Proverbs 25 Lesson 4: Proverbs 25:11-14 Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket. 25:12   Valid criticism is as treasured by the one who heeds it as jewelry made from finest gold. 25:13   Faithful messengers are as refreshing as snow in the heat of summer. They revive the spirit of their employer. 25:14   A person who doesn't give a promised gift is like clouds and wind that don't bring rain. Don't talk too much. Talk when it is right.  An idea well expressed is like a design of gold set in silver.  There is power in communication.  Make sure your words are wisely chosen lest you begin to sound like a fool.  When you speak good words at the right time, your words would be appreciated. Communication is not based on the amount of words one might say,  but the timing of what one says. There is no better blessing than when someone who is inexperienced listens and adheres to a

If God had no TIME.....

I saw this poem,  and it struck me to share I knelt to pray but not for long I had to much to do as the year ends I had to hurry and get to work For bills that would soon be due So I knelt down and said a hurried prayer And jumped up off my knees My Christian duty was now done My soul could now rest at ease All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends They'd laugh at me I'd fear 2016 ending!  No time,  no time,  too much to do That was my constant cry But at last the time,  the time to die I went before the Lord I came;  I stood with downcast eyes For in his hands God held a book It was the book of life God looked into his Book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down.... But never found the time. " Wow.  This is an amazing poem.  Imagine if God had no time. We most times procrastinate a lot,  saying no time,  no time.  But where did time really go.  We all have th

The Chronicles of Acts 4....

The chronicles of Acts 4 The fact that people are persecuted because of the Gospel,  isn't something new. When you are talking about a higher power or a higher authority,  people who can't do anything about it, because that thing is higher than them,  yet they don't want to come under it's authority,  would look for ways to stop you. No matter how the people want to stop Gods word from manifesting,  Gods word always gets delivered to whoever it is sent. Acts 4:4. Through the arrest of Peter and John,  there was an opportunity for the message of God to be spread directly to the members of the council.  Acts 4:12-13. In the case of Peter and John,  they we're arrested.  That might not be the case in the world of today.  You might get humiliated and disgraced,  but know that no matter their schemes,  Gods authority surpasses them all. God allows some things to happen in the present because of a manifestation in the future.  Acts 4:10-11. Jesus was crucif
