NOT YET



How many times have we said, "not yet"?
"Not yet, I need more time, maybe a year...or two? Or three".

1Peter 4:10-11;

10) 'Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 

 11) If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

 "Bisi, when would you finally sign up for that show"

 "on? I don't know, not yet sha"...

This little analogy has happened to a bunch of us, if not all.

 I've been a perpetual victim of 'NOT YET'.

 'NOT YET' doesn't make us excel or move forward in anything.

  We become stale, stagnant and guess what happens to stagnant water?

 Nothing new flows in and the water smells (unprofitable, not useful). 

 We feel that being behind the scenes gives us the chance to 'know' how things are done, but that's a BIG LIE. 

 It's our tactic for not taking a step forward.

  Nothing good comes without a step.

We need to take a step and show forth all that God has embedded inside of us.

 Fear only kills our God-given talents from coming to fruition and we all remember the unprofitable servant (Matt 25:30) in the Bible.

 As Generals for God, we are meant to show forth His Kingdom and utilise every potential He has deposited inside of us. 

 Quit 'NOT YET' 

 Start with 'I'M READY'

THE LIMITLESS YOU FORMATION!

Oxford dictionary defined LIMITLESS as: "being without end, limit, or boundary." It is a well known fact that man only uses 10% of his brain's capacity and only a few men have attempted using it to that point. Men like, Albert Einstein, Da Vinci e.t.c, and their works still impacts lives till tomorrow. Let me paint a picture of how great and amazing man is. "Man is a universe of greatness; he is so limitless in space that the limitless Creator of the universe can occupy him." Now I want you to ponder on that for a moment! To explain how limitless you are we have to go to our roots, our spirit. Man is made up of spirit, soul and body. He is a spirit who has a soul and he lives in a body. The main part of man that both keeps him alive and fuels the soul and body is his spirit. For once his spirit leaves, the body dies. There is no formation of a LIMITLESS man without a LIMITLESS GOD living in the LIMITLESS MAN. Man has devised so many means of t

DESIRES

                           It is a known fact that when we're attracted to a person. Our bodies have a way of tuning to want that person. A kiss would stir up a lot of other series of action.  A clap often than not leads to a dance. There are lots of relationships where the unmarried couples pray together and sleep together. God cannot be mocked neither can He fellowship in the same place where sin constantly frolics; Jeremiah 16:17 - For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. A Godly relationship is one in which the couple understands all the scientific and factual 'chemistries' that go on between their bodies but decide to put God as priority, the relationship becomes an altar for God to dwell. Measures need to be in place because as much as you do not want to indulge in any preactivity that might lead to falling into sin, saying it isn't just enough. Praying and acting on the

IF

"If I had written the exams at an older age, I would have passed" "If I had grown up with my parents, I would have chosen a better spouse" "If I didn't go to a polythenic, I should have been done with school by now" "If I had followed them to the party, I would have gotten that business card and probably would have gotten the job" These are the comments I got from friends that I asked concerning their "if" moments: If I loved my course of study from the onset, i would have graduated with a 1st class. If I hadn’t eaten so much, I wouldn’t be struggling with my weight. If I wasn’t scared and ashamed to rewrite jamb, maybe I would have gotten law and I wouldn’t be stressing over what to do when I graduate. If I had known I was enough for my happiness I wouldn't have relied on other people for my happiness. If I was not the first person in my family to attend university, I wouldn't have had some acade
