Strategies for Success.
For anyone that has been successful at one time or the other in anything they put their hands to do know that at a point in time, their success will question them and ask if they are bold enough to go for what they believe in their heart.
The children of Israel ones fell into this category of this group of people, they were alone...without a homeland...isolated in the wilderness. When Israel came into conflict with the armies of the land, they had every reason to be afraid. But God gave them the strategies they needed to succeed.
Whenever you feel overwhelmed in your journey through life there are certain strategies that once you put it in to use, you will succeed spiritually.
1. TRUST GOD COMPLETELY: To succeed in life you should trust God completely, some people rely on their family name, wealth, academic experience in order to face the challenges of life, but if you place your life in God’s hands you have nothing to worry about. God will take good care of you.
2. CONFIDENCE: A heart that rejoice is a product of inner confidence, CONFIDE is inside the word confidence, no matter the challenge you face, CONFIDE WITH GOD through prayer and the word, let us put our confidence in the word of God, GOD said HIS WORD will not FAIL, you are a product of the WORD, you can’t be a failure.
3. OVERCOME FEAR: God is able to do the impossible, I believe our focus should be on him, whatever we dwell our hearts on will finally overcome us, fear can paralyze your vision, and fear is false evidences appearing real. Cast fear out with the word of God. The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27: 1 (NIV)
4. DEVELOP A STRONG SPIRIT: A person that has developed a strong spirit will even go through bodily harm and pain and he will still continue to battle, but a person that has a weak spirit will not be able to hold on during tough times.
5. GET RID OF DISTRACTIONS: Whatever is going on in your life that is not directing you towards fulfilling your vision is a DISTRACTION. Get rid of it. Dedicate yourself to fulfilling God’s calling on your life.
I see you moving out of stagnant situations, I see you moving into your promised land, I see that business succeeding, I see your relationship and marriage becoming a success, I see you becoming all round successful. In Jesus Name.

Putting God first in your finances.
Jesus doesn’t just want some of us…He wants all of us. And one of the most direct things He ever said in regards to money is found in Matthew 6:21 where He covers the fact that if He doesn’t have our treasure then He doesn’t fully have our heart.
He doesn’t want leftovers…He wants our love…and love is when we are NOT just about being a taker…but rather a giver.
I challenge people to tithe…and I have even said that tithing is not about Soulvanguard being after your money…and that if you actually believe that then just send your tithe to another church for the next three months. SERIOUSLY!
I don’t want ANYTHING from people…I want something FOR them (quote from Andy Stanley!!!) I want FOR you to discover the incredible freedom and blessings from putting God FIRST in your finances.

Financialformation: Never too late 2 be RICH.
It is sometimes very easy to believe we can not make it in life. Sometimes we get kicked in the butts by our regrets over sound financial decisions we ought to have made earlier in life, but if we can just re-organize our lives and be focused we will find out that it is never too late to start on the journey of wealth creation.
Anybody can make money despite their age, background or time factor all you need do is change your focus which in itself it an effort to make things start happening in your life, any body that wants more must be prepared to do more, more phone-calls, more emails and more business meetings.
It doesn’t matter where you are coming from, just a mental shift will take you to your wealthy place, when it come to wealth creation there is a TIPPING POINT, once you just change your direction things will begging to turn around for you in a big way.
So my dear friend, it is not too late to start investing in stock and shares and setting up a pension account for yourself, as long as you are alive you must have the mental fortitude to fight against financial inactivism which may develop as LEKE ALDER wrote in his book MINDING YOUR BUSINESS “as we figure our way through the maze of tunnels technically called LIFE, our life progressively change and our thinking is processed into patterns, and we develop memories and think methods.”
So don’t think its TOO LATE TO CREATE WEALTH, you can’t live on your assumption and want to use that as a yardstick in the real world, the law of gravity works everywhere in the world, irrespective of age, gender, race and ability.
Divorce your preconception and put your trust in God, Believe me, it’s never too late to start creating wealth.
Thanks

FINANCIALFORMATION: Trust.
Trust:
Successful business people have held on to this secret for a long time: TRUST.
Successful companies do business with only people, companies, corporations and governments they trust.
To be successful in business you must trust that warning bell that rings inside of you saying that there is something adrift.
Most of the time there wont be clear indices that will tell you clearly why you should not do business with this person, so that is why you need to rely on your inner compass.
Sometimes its just this gut-feeling, as for me I play it safe, I walk away. Sometimes there are some messages you can’t capture in the physical, but the inner spirit is picking up strong negative signals.
Don’t ignore these signals, what have you to loose anyway.
I made it also a rule to discuss very weighty business issue with my wife, who has a sniffer for sour deals, if she feels that way too; it is always very easy for her to talk me out of it.
You can make this as a rule of the thumb over every other thing too, i.e. Career, Family and most importantly in your Finances.

CONFLICT OF DESIRES?
CONFLICTS OF DESIRES Text: Jonah 1 v 4, Mark 16 v 15. Jer 29 v 11 Beloved; I am grateful to the omnipotent (Almighty) God for the privilege of writing you once again. Sincerely, have you noticed the face of people these last few years, so long, so dull, so black, people are not smiling any more, what could be the reasons for this. The second book of Timothy chapter three verse one to four outlined some of these reason passively or actively all these thing will release the consequences. Nowadays people are not enjoying the Christian life anymore, and this is really bothering the heart of God, because salvation was meant to be enjoyed and not endured (Isaiah 12 v 3) what is meant to be endured is affliction (2Tim 2 v 3), which is even working for us a never ending state of blessedness and glory (IICor. 4v17). Being inconsistent in divine vision and goals has lead many into the pits of despair. Hopelessness, rejection, dejection has now come over many because they refused to come to terms with God, they are at loggerheads with the divine father because they in their human understanding feel that God’s will for them is not the best.. Sir/ma does this picture am painting looks like you? Jonah was asked to go to Nineveh, but he boarded a ship to tarshish, we all know that story. You are now wondering why things are not working. Why your husband doesn’t come home early, why all the doors of opportunities are shut. Why you fall out of favour with your Boss, why your marriage plans hits the rock. Sorry, I may have to put the mud in your eyes, it’s not the devil or your mother in-law the problem is you. The scripture declares “there is away that looks right to man, but the end are the ways of death (Prov. 14 v 12). There is a big argument in the heavens whether you will take the right step to end this CONFLICT OF DESIRES. First step to take is genuine repentance. * Repent: Turn your heart back to God and start considering heavenly things(Col 3 v 2) * Determine to serve God: No man having put his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. (Luke 9 v 62). * Carry your cross: See IITim 3 v 16 -17. Let me exhort you, Gods plans for his children are always the best, for This thoughts to us ward are… (Jer 29 v 11) and we know that all things work together for good… (Rom 8v28), since we were called for the purpose of the Good news, let us continue to put our trust in him with all our hearts and never to lean on our own understanding so he may direct our paths (Prov 3v5-7). This message is for you and I let us redeem the time, for the days are evil. Charles thanks for reminding me of the importance of the great commission. Truly our destiny is in our hand. PTL
Check your desire...is it conflicting with His desire?

Anchor for the Soul.
I was resting this morning while my phone rang, i glanced at it and i suddenly remember that femi and I had an appointment today, he called to let me know that in 20 minutes he will be in my house, i like talking to @Femi Oshikoya, he is one of the rare guys, sincere forthright, always learning and you can also learn one or two things from him.
We took two white chairs sat down in the shade enjoying the coolness the shade offered.
We spoke about business, our visions, families, hobbies and our conversation drifted into our concern for living an authentic christian life.
We both complained about moral relativism and the blurry line between right and wrong.
I reminded him of our need to have an anchor for our soul.
Our souls are like ship on the sea of life, without having our nail in the sure place or dropping our anchor we will soon discover that we have left the position we are in Christ.
Without an anchor for our soul, we are at the mercy of every winds of false doctrines that is blowing every where in the world.
Without an anchor for the soul, there is no strength and focus to contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered to us the saint.
Our faith is for us to guard and to cherish, but we must have a standpoint in life from which we are operating from.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand...so the song says:
The anchor for the soul in troubled times is the word and the promises of God, if the word of God is the absolute TRUTH, then His promises is also TRUE, if He spoke it , He will bring it to pass, stick it out, stand your ground, believe His word for you...this is the anchor for your SOUL.
Most of us wants its now, but it is in a place called DONE...God says I have done it, I believe it because God said that: For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK....I am assured that it has been done and I will patiently wait for its MANIFESTATION...DELAY CAN NOT CAUSE ANXIETY...His words said : be anxious for nothing...this is the anchor for my soul.
when nothing is working in your spiritual life, marriage, career, finances etc...Jesus is the ANCHOR for THE SOUL: if we run to God for peace in every area of our life, we need to grab a hold on JESUS with both hands and never let go, Jesus is our unbreakable SPIRITUAL LIFELINE...that passes through all appearance leading directly into the presence of God.
@Femi Oshikoya and I ended our conversation in prayer, that our focus should remain on Jesus and we should pursue Holiness...without which no man can see God.
