Gratitude Changes Everything

-

Hello Friend,

Are you there? I was just wondering if you’ve had a chance to go through my blogs.

If we have woken up this morning and are able to move our hands and feet, it means we are alive—and that alone is a great blessing. Many did not wake up to see today, which means their opportunities to change, and grow have come to an end.

Let us be grateful to our Creator, if we believe in Him.

What I’ve noticed is that many of us fail to appreciate the little things in life. As a result, we develop an attitude of ingratitude. According to studies, ingratitude can stimulate the brain to produce harmful chemicals that negatively affect our physiological systems.

When we are INTENTIONAL to be THANKFUL in all circumstances, our Mind begins to stream signals to our BRAIN with INSTRUCTIONS to create NEW PATTERNS, PATHWAYS and a new HABIT of being THANKFUL. Our new HABIT enriches us personally and others in the circle of our influence. How Wonderfully we have been created! We have great HOPE for TRANSFORMATION.  

No wonder the Scriptures encourages us to be anxious for nothing, but in everything—through prayer, with thanksgiving—to make our requests known to God.

Instead of being consumed by worry, unforgiveness, regret and bitterness, let us develop a habit of gratitude in all situations. Gratitude renews our minds, strengthens our relationships, enhances our cognitive abilities, and promotes overall well-being.

The Holy Bible reminds us that when our mind prospers, so does every area of our lives. Thanksgiving enlarges us spiritually; it shifts our focus from our problems to the ONE who can solve them.

So today, don’t forget to thank God—no matter what situation you are in—and also the wonderful people He has used to help you. Call 📞 them or Whatsapp them and express your gratitude sincerely, from your heart ❤️. You will surely notice the difference when this becomes your HABIT. Remember GRATITUDE CHANGES EVERYTHING.

By the way, THANK YOU for visiting my blog and spending your valuable few minutes reading this post.

That's it for now. See you all in my next post.

(Scripture references: Philippians 4:6, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Hebrews 13:15, Romans 12:1-2)


Shalom!

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
