My Month Of Re-Positioning Myself

1. Discipline. It is said that 'the distance between your dream and your reality is your discipline.' Sometimes what makes us insecure and vulnerable becomes the fuel we need to be overachievers. The antidote for a snakebite is made from the poison, and the thing that made you go backward is the same force that will push you forward. Within each and every one of us is the power to achieve and attain. What we lack is the discipline. Someone is gaining excessive weight, he knows he has to hit the gym but refuses. Stop eating that junk food. Someone who has addiction problems knows he needs to discipline himself to go for rehab refuses. Someone has lust problem and refuses to discipline himself. Why not learn from Joseph? A young man loved by his father but hated by his siblings because of his dreams. Thrown to a pit, sold to slavery and left to rut as a houseboy. Has every reason to lust and take revenge on life that has treated him so badly. Rather when a woman made sexual advances he disciplined himself, which led him to prison and and eventually to palace. Today you see a lot of people praying for upliftment from prison to palace. The route is simple discipline. I was invited to a church to minister. A young boy came for counselling. He was an international student. While in his home country the parents caught him watching pornographic movies. They cautioned him and he promised to stop. When they brought him to school in Canada he started watching such movies again without control. He told me his grade are down now out of school. We prayed for him and he stopped. He is now a graduate! Discipline yourself to reposition yourself!

2. Other factors- Life is not solved by quadratic equation, rather by applying simple life principles. Integrity is the foundation upon which many other qualities are built, such as respect, dignity. Focus on things that make you feel strong, effective and unique. What do you need to do to make your marriage better? What do you need to do to get promotion in that office? What do you need to improve your business and ministry? Are you sleeping too much? Are you less engaging? Do you need to work smarter and harder? Identify the other peculiar factors of your life and treat them.

3. God factor. Only God's way is successful. "Except the Lord build the house they labour in vain that builds it, except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain". (Psalm 127:1 KJV). What God is not building will not last. It is important therefore, that you come out from the ungodly things you do in secret. Come out from the things you have involved yourself in that is inimical to your progress. Increase your prayer and bible reading time. Write down your goals. Identify anything or anyone that attempts to block or take God's place in your life. Jesus says-Without me you can do nothing 1 John 15:5 - Focus on your spirituality. Life is more spiritual than physical. Allow God to guide you to where you need to be and follow through. Stop committing sin. Stop complaining about where you are- Think -Move. Act. Why should you waste away in Kadesh-barnea! In fact, think of the repositioning process as a form of promotion. Forgive yourself for allowing people to hurt you. Forgive those who have hurt you. You cannot say you are serving God and you are still going to an herbalist. You cannot do that! You must come out. When you obey God's word, live a godly life thing begin to happen for better for you. "Oh, the joys of those who do not follow evil men's advice, who do not hang around with sinners, scoffing at the things of God. 2 But they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day and night are always meditating on his laws and thinking about ways to follow him more closely.3 They are like trees along a riverbank bearing luscious fruit each season without fail. Their leaves shall never wither, and all they do shall prosper." Psalm 1:1-3 LB
