In politics no permanent friends, no permanent enemies but permanent interest.

God promotes you based on your heart not based on your head. Your head might be right but if your heart is not right you will mess up the promotion. Men looks at the outward but God looks at the heart. From the heart flows the issues of life.

Always try to fix what is broken so that when the blessings come, you will be able to receive it. This generation does a lot of right things for wrong reasons.

Do not work at Walmart expecting to receive your salary from Microsoft.

There is nowhere in the scripture that God commanded "Thou shall be married." You don't have to be married to be happy. You don't have to be married in order to be complete. God didn't create you half, He made you whole, you can only make a good home only when you are complete than when you are half. Stop praying for your second half, pray for wholeness.

The less you know, the less your children can learn from you, the more you know, the more they can also learn from you..

I don´t care what name you called me before, give me a new name. My old name is not important but my new name is very important. Did they call you Barren? your new name is pregnant.

Ladies, a man doesn't want respect, he needs it. A man does not need love. There is no where it is written that a man needs love. They simply needs respect. A man interprets respect as love.When a woman tells a man that she loves him, it doesn't mean anything to him, but when a man knows you respects him, that means a whole lot to him.

On your way to the promised land are many circumstances, only determination will take you there.

Has God Given You a Vision?__rite the vision and make it plain _ that he may run who reads it.__abakkuk 2:2When God gives you a vision for your life, write it down, keep it before you at all times and run with it. You say, __ut I see no way for it to come to pass._ The Bible says, __he vision is yet for an appointed time _ wait for it; because it will surely come_ (Habakuk 2 v. 3 NKJV). You may not know how to get from where you are right now to where the vision will ultimately take you - but God does. So ask Him to reveal the next step to you. Whether you__e in prison like Joseph, in a soup kitchen in the inner city, or at home taking care of small children, God will fulfil the vision He placed in your heart. The more you see yourself leading in the boardroom, launching your own business, serving in ministry, writing your first book, or helping others through your gifts, the sooner it__l become a reality.

If you permit God to test you at the beginning, you will stand every trial for a long time. Don't plan to drive a Mercedes jeep as a boy and ride a bicycle in your adult age. Every trial given to you while you are young is made to prepare you for your old, age so that you can proclaim; I was young and now I am old, I have never seen the righteousness forsaken nor their children begging for bread.

When you rejects knowledge God can't help you because He can't help you with what you do not know.

Lord, I know that where I am right now, isn__ where You__e taking me. Give me glimpses of Your vision for my future, so that my understanding may grow in accordance with Your timing. Give me patience along the way and faith to trust that You__e always working for my good. Amen.

The strength of your growth depends on your leader. If the person you are taking counsel from is weaker than you, you are on your way down.

Someone asked me why does bad thing happen to good people?My answer: because when bad thing happens to bad nobody sees it. When something bad happens to a bad man there is no difference but when it happens to a good person people will know. Satan doesn´t advertise good things because that is not his job. His job is to steal, kill and destroy. The devil doesn´t talk good of good people but good people should always talk of something that is good.

Successful marriage hinges on the application of knowledge - knowing and understanding God's principles not the exchange of love.. Brother you can be in love all you want but that doesn't make the woman the right person. Same with ladues, you can be head over heels with him but that doesn't make him the right husband.In all your getting, get knowledge and understanding.

God can do all this but one thing He cannot do is choosing your mate,, because He is too smart to choose your mate for you. God knows that if He choose your mate and it didn't work out, you will blame him so He gives you the complete responsibility to choose your mate. That is why the Bible says "he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtaineth favour from God." You have to find your mate by yourself. It is also not the responsibility of your parents. But God does help you that's why he gave you a brain with five million cells. He gives you tge holy spirit to guide you, He gave you his words to regulate your decisions, He gave you your Pastors to give you the counsels, He gave you parents, He gave you sense and He gave you his own anointing to discern spirits.You meet a terrible marriage once you ignore any of these equipment before marriage.

Many of the people God used in Scripture looked like losers before they looked like winners. After the disciples fished all night and caught nothing, Jesus told them, __Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men_ (Luke 5:10 NKJV). They did, and they ended up: a) building a church that__ still thriving two thousand years later; b) writing history__ greatest books; c) having our sons named after them. Does that mean you can just dream a dream and God will fulfil it? No. Paul says, __You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God_ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV).
