GRATEFUL + ATTITUDE = GRATITUDE


There is a word formation process called BLENDING and I implemented into today's post(not an English class, don't run away).

 Having a grateful attitude is always needed in order for us to achieve, within ourselves, the certainty that God is able.

  Being grateful does not only include bagging success.

 It's also implemented in time of difficulties.

   Being able to still say "Lord, I'm grateful for the ablilty to try, I'm grateful that I am alive to even partake in this internship/interview/examination etc, irrespective of what I face, I know that you are able because you'll never leave me neither will you forsake me".

  THAT'S GRATEFULNESS WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.
I went for a prison outreach on a Saturday, and I discovered that 'gratitude' is an attitude that isn't restricted to environment. 


 The inmates danced and praised God irrespective of their situations and predicaments.

  Some might never leave there, but they are still grateful that they know God and have entered into His fold of being generals for Him: that indeed is an incredible attitude.

 Philippians 4:6-7; Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 The inmates were definitely 'careful for nothing,' they had bigger problems but praised God more than a lawfully free man.

  When you are grateful to God, He listens, knowing fully well that you are not moved by your circumstances but that you are moved by his unfailing love. 

 His peace would flow, beyond all understanding which means that as problems come, you will even be more relaxed, knowing fully well that your Father is beyond capable.

 Exodus 14:14; I will fight for you and ye shall hold your peace.

 This attitude of greatfulness intertwined with a heart that yields to practicing His will definitely blends us into the perfect will of God for our lives.

  In order to partake of his immeasurable blessings, adapt the word formation process of BLENDING your GRATEFULNESS with the right ATTITUDE.

  God loves when we, as Christians, not only show forth His Word but when we show it forth with a heart of GRATITUDE.

1Chronicles 16:8 & Psalm 105:1; Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

 Psalm 100:4; Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

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 ...

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...
