LIES

Today, we live in a generation where many people live a lie in everything. Some people get involved in an arranged marriage in order to travel abroad, some people forge documents in order to get a job. For some people, the different parts of their body are mobile lies. Sometime ago, I heard that a woman did an artificial silicone implant of the breast and while she was in an aircraft travelling, one of the breasts exploded in the aircraft. What vanity!

Beloved, take note of the following":

a. Until you open your life to God,"God does not open your destiny to you.

b. Cover-up is the way to a closed life. Truth is key to triumph. Until people are set for the truth, they are not set for their future.

Beloved, you should be able to open up to God and say, ‘Lord, I lie, I cheat, I deceive, I masturbate, I am a lesbian, a homosexual, a smoker, or a drunkard,’ if that is what you find yourself in. Tell God, ‘Lord, I know this can destroy my life and take me to hell. Lord, please help me destroy this wrong desire.’ Ask God for mercy and He will intervene, change you and open up your destiny.

1. If you have committed a sin,"confess it and ask God for mercy.

2. Live a life free of sin; live with the consciousness of eternity.

3. Make demands on God for the grace to walk in righteousness.

"A Sure Way to fail without a curse is to apply excuse in your daily life" -Ekero Utuk

▪I'm too fat,
▪I'm too busy,
▪I'm not smart enough,
▪What will people say?
▪They said it doesn't work.
▪That's not my calling.
▪My parents were poor or am from a poor background.
▪It's too risky.
▪I just can't.
▪I don't have capital.
▪That's how it has always been.

The list is endless. If you're in this category. Here is an altar call of repentance for you.
Unless you're telling someone "EXCUSE ME". If all you do is to find excuses why things don't and won't work, then you're a fool with an offensive odour that deters success without notice.

You can't be an excuse-giver and be awarded.

The beginning of excuses is an indication of frustration, stagnation, demotion, and possibly destruction.

Those who give excuses are being excused from something tangible. That's what happened in the parable of talents.

Excuses are found on the lips of failures. It is only those who are ready to fail that will give excuses. Imagine if Albert Einstein gave excuse why his light experiment did not work. Okay, consider men like Dr. Ben Carson, Martin Luther, Jonathan Edwards, Chris Kwakpovwe, Nelson Mandela, John Calvin, Micheal Faraday, Joshua, Caleb, Nehemiah etc. If they were giving excuses, would they have made any impact in their generation?

I really don't have an advice for you. Life is about choice my dear. But if you choose a lifestyle of giving excuses, what happened in Matthew 25:14-30 and Luke 19:11-27 will be your story. Remeber the story of the Jews, when Esther tried to give Mordecai excuses? (See Esther 4:10-12)

Excuses births:
-procrastinaion.
-fear of failure and even failure.
-low self-esteem.
-lack of confidence.
-self pity.

When you fight excuses, all these attribute finds their selves out of your domain.
Your destiny is who you have decided to become. Stop excuses now or excuses will stop you sooner or later.
May you never be excluded from opportunities and favour today just because of excuses.
