Fortune/Mj Nig Ent

Happy Sunday from us at Fortune/Mj International School

Ecclesiastes 7:8.....
"Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit"

Yes!
The end is more important because that is where most casualties are produced.

This end requires -
EXTRA WATCHING.

As 2016 is ending......
You must be -
* ALERT,
* VIGILANT,
* FOCUSED,
* CALM, and finally,
* WISE AS A SERPENT AND HARMLESS AS A DOVE!

Brethren, RESIST the temptation to -
RUSH/FORCE things because the year is ending, instead spend more time to Pray and Fast......
- THE DESCENDING PHASE (ENDING) OF THE YEAR IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE ASCENDING PHASE (BEGINNING).

Prayer Point:
Holy Ghost, catapult me from end-of-year mistakes/anxiety and Empower me to WATCH and PRAY as the year ends in Jesus' Name......

FEAR!!!

THE devil MOVES YOU FROM FAITH TO FEAR!

Note the seven (7) types of fear:

* FEAR OF POVERTY,
* FEAR OF DEATH,
* FEAR OF ILL HEALTH,
* FEAR OF NOT BEING LOVED,
* FEAR OF OLD AGE,
* FEAR OF FAILURE and
* FEAR OF CRITICISM.

Any other fear falls under any of above,
SO BE WISE because;
Whatsoever that is not of FAITH is SIN
(Rom 14:23).

Prayer Point:
Jehovah!
I bow in total humility, before your highly exalted throne;
Remove all kinds of Fear in my life and that of my loved one's in Jesus' Name....

HOW TO FIND FORGIVENESS THROUGH CHRIST!

Forgiving someone who has hurt you deeply will probably be one of the hardest things you will ever do. The freedom you will experience when you do finally forgive will be worth all the pain and effort it requires! Ultimately, offering true forgiveness cannot be accomplished without outside help... and that help has to come from God, who is the prime example of Forgiveness!

1. Acknowledge that you are as imperfect a person as the one who has hurt you.
You too are in need of being forgiven by people you might have hurt in some way.
You too need forgiveness from a perfect God.

2. Try to understand the other person; ask yourself what kind of suffering has occurred in his/her life;
what kind of struggles has this person gone through that has made him or her hurt you so badly.
Perhaps this person was abused at some point in his or her life.

3. Recognize that as long as you stay angry at this person, he or she will have power over you.
This person might long have forgotten the injury inflicted on you, while you are allowing anger to seep the life out of you.

4. Ask God to help you in this process.
Think of the forgiveness He offers you through His son, Jesus... a totally free gift, which neither you nor I deserve!
He asks us to pass this forgiveness on to our fellow human beings; not an easy task, yet He asks it of us and He knows that if we do that, we will find incredible peace and freedom!
Cast your care onto the Lord.

5. Fore-go any desire for revenge.
It is God's domain. Only He knows what this person actually deserves.
Inflicting revenge will only make you feel better for a fleeting moment.
Ultimately, it will make you feel much worse. Remember that people usually reap what they sow.

6. In forgiving, you are not agreeing with what happened.
You are not saying that what was done is OK. You are not saying you are in agreement.
You can still condemn the sin, but you are placing the sinner in God's hands.
You are affirming that only God is equipped to rightly judge his or her soul.

7. Understand that forgiveness and reconciliation are separate concepts.
The Lord requires us to forgive, so that our hearts can be clean before Him.
But we can only trust again and reconcile as it might be appropriate
("As much as it depends on you, be at peace with all men" - Rm 12.18).
For true reconciliation, both parties have to take responsibility and do their part. Otherwise we would be in an unhealthy "unequal yoking". Sometimes it's best to forgive, but to move on and let your peace return to you.
Getting back together with the other person may not be a good option.

8. The Bible does not allow personal payback:
"Vengeance is Mine, says the Lord; I will repay", but promoting justice is a separate issue from personal forgiveness.
If the offensive behavior is criminal it may be appropriate to notify the authorities. This becomes especially important when the behavior is ongoing and others are at risk.
Each situation has to be considered on it merits, including your safety.
Remember that forgiving sometimes just doesn't stop behavior.
God may take you through a difficult time, not necessarily end it because you have forgiven.

9. Know that Jesus promises rewards to those who overcome feelings like wanting to be unforgiving:
"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?"
God sacrificed his only son so that you could enjoy your life.

Action Point:
FORGIVE AND FORGET COMPLETELY!

USED vs. LOVED

While a man was polishing his new car, his 6 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times;
not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father...

with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless;
he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions.....
sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;

the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.

The next day that man committed su***de. . .

Anger and Love have no limits;
choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.

But the problem in today's world is that,

People are used and things are loved.

In this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind:

Things are to be used,
but People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits they become character;

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder.

God bless you.

If you don't pass this on nothing bad will happen;

if you do, you might change someones life.

Do u know the relationship between your two eyes?
They blink together, move together, cry together, see things together & sleep together.

Even though they never see each other.

Friendship should be just like that!

Life is vanity without FRIENDS.

Who is your best friend? Send this to all your good friends. Even me, if I am one of them. See how many u get back. If u get more than 7, then u are really a lovableperson!🌺🐾🌺

"Here is the amazing thing about Easter; the Resurrection Sunday for Christians is this,
that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible."

"The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world.
Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice.
But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the discipline, and make the sacrifice."

"Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless."

"Let every man and woman count himself immortal.
Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection.
Let him say not merely,
"Christ is risen," but "I shall rise."

Merry Easter God's anointed!

Death! Death!! Death!!!

Why are you so wicked?

You took my daughter away.....
You took my wife away.....
Now you just snatched away my ONLY SON......

It's well,
The word taught me to give THANKS in EVERYTHING, so what can I say than .......

THANK YOU JEHOVAH!

Emmanuel Awele Odiaka (Bobo)
....... Rest in Peace.

I will surely miss you, you "are" everything to me.
