SURRENDERING ALL

-

Partial Obedience or Total Obedience, what would you prefer? God our creator requires us so totally submit ourselves to Him and wholeheartedly worship him living no room for anything to take the place of God in our lives. The Bible in Exodus says Do not worship idols. "(Exodus 20:5)" Idols are anything that take the place of God in your life or anything that you prefer to do before taking time to concentrate on God. An idol could be house chores or even just a newspaper, anything you are addicted to.

A fellow human being can become your idol. You can also make an idol of yourself by putting your belief in either yourself or any other human being. This happens when we attribute our success to ourselves forgetting that God is the most important part of the equation. Turning to mortals (fellow men and women) in times of need and basing our trust in them to solve our challenges is another form of idolatry.

 

Today we are looking at total submission to God, surrendering everything to Him and only Him. We are surrendering things that have become idols in our lives and every sin or addiction in our life. A number of times we choose which sins to continue in and which sins to desist from. We sort out the good and bad sins forgetting that all sins are bad. You find yourself even as a saved Christian doing things comfortably even when knowing they are wrong. You claim you’re a Christian and yet your actions do not show that you are one. This is a very important point to note in our daily lives that as Christians we are meant to surrender everything to God living nothing behind, leaving no gap for the enemy, Satan to attack. The devil uses our weaknesses to attack us and the more we become built up in them, the further we are from God. The devil keeps using earthly desires to draw us away from God but remember that devil has no free gifts and they are of no help to our lives but merely just poison. We should therefore surrender everything to God totally submitting ourselves and lives to Him, not partially but completely leaving nothing behind. Every time we sin, we are giving the devil a chance to destroy us and the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy.

 

Challenge point

Is there something your with holding in your life? It could be specific types of movies we watch, music we listen to or our gadgets. Are you putting your trust in material things? Are you entrusting your success to other men or to yourself?

Pray to God to give you the strength to submit everything to Him wholeheartedly.

TAKE ME BACK TO SCHOOL

-
I want to go back to school for here my heart is Forlorn, I want to go back to school where I can find my love for books. Where I can find my People, Where I can together with books With friends clucking by my bedside like chicken   I want to go back to school for here meaning is lost, I want to go back to school where my muscles stretch over the desks, Teachers’ voices screaming all over the class Providing sense into my brains, Learning and gaining confidence in my heart   I want to go back to school; here all roots are rotting, I want to go back to school, Where deep in the books, I run after the good performance I want to go back to school, where I will wade in water bathe in knowledge. Dance at the achievement and pray to the sky.

THE ACTIVITY MATRIX

-

In addition to the planning methods you have, I would like to recommend a system of setting priorities which is called, the activity matrix. In this matrix, we try to show people from different work spaces how to put first things first. How do you set priorities?  Read ahead and learn how it works and try it out. It consists of four quadrants, Q1 to Q4 as illustrated below. What is important and urgent to one person may not be for everyone. You are free to set up your own according to your situation. Important and urgent, Q1 This is called the fire fighting quadrant. You deal with a problem as though you are fighting a fire. If you do not, the fire will burn you up. It is about issues which if not dealt with will attract immediate consequences. This happens to all of us. There are times when we deal with stuff as it comes or according to the pressure with which it comes. In this quadrant, you are driven by pressure in order to act. These are activities where you cannot help it. You...
