Goal setting is simple, yet it involves hard work. It is simple to take a pen and paper to jot down what you want to do but it takes hard work to really commit yourself to accomplishing those set goals. From my interactions and observations, I have discovered some reasons why some people do not set goals. I want to share four of them with you. Fear: Fear is a paralyzer. It paralyzes you from doing what you need to do. Fear is the absence of faith. Someone describes fear as…… False, Evidence, Appearing and Real There are some times when you need to act even when you are afraid. That is what it means to have courage. You may have set goals but each time you look at them, they are way beyond your capacity, that is why you need to rely on God and not man to help you. Poor self-image: The picture some hold inside about themselves is not good enough and that limits the goals they set for themselves. Can you imagine someone that has a salary of N3,200 who wants to set a new goal...

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? – Hebrews 12:6-7 There's a terrible misunderstanding among believers today about God's method of disciplining His children.

With His Word. Second Timothy 3:16-17 says, "Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness, (in holy livin...

Open Heavens |Daily Devotional {3rd July, 2016} Memorise: Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. -  James 5:6 Read: Amos 8:4-10, (KJV ) Messagae Injustice has been in existence with mankind since the fall. The unfortunate thing is that God hates injustice because He is the God of justice and equity. In our Bible reading for today and in several others verses of the Bible, we see that God vehemently abhors injustice. This injustice is all-inclusive, because it is found among traders through false measure, the employers of labours who do not pay the correct wages or delay it unnecessarily and the employees who cheat on their employers by not putting up their best for the wages they earn. -  James 5:4 says: “Behold the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.” It is injustice when an employer k...

The Biblical definition of surprise is to cause to feel wonder, astonishment, and amazement. In other words, that Scripture is saying God is able to surprise.
