The name by which you are called does not matter

Because of the circumstances surrounding your life(your birthplace,educational background,poverty levels in your family or your marital status) many have resulted to call you names that don't belong to you.People might be calling you according to your circumstance eg. Eric the cleaner or Cindy the errand girl.In peoples` eyes you are a nobody, you are not a person of substance according to them, they look you down and make a mockery of you.Do not be discouraged my brother, never despair my dear sister,God sees you differently. For He says the plan I have for you are good plans (Jeremiah 29:11). God has prosperous plans for you, despite all other names that people call you, He calls you My Blessed. I will finish by telling you about Jabez,his name indicates that his mother bore him in sorrow and decided to name him so- Jabez.That name means hopelessness, it means sorrow.However This man Jabez turned to God and the Lord heard his Prayers.Read the verse below 1st Chronicles 4:10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

If you have a wife make her happy Part 2

Compliment her. Your wife buys new apparel and you are the first to dismiss it. You are a failure yourself; who will appreciate your wife if you don’t do it yourself? Before other people compliment your wife, do it. She will be in a position to say, 'my husband liked my dress', or shoes or anything else for that matter. If she changes the setup in the house, appreciate it. If she goes to the salon for a make up, she expects a compliment from you. Your wife will ask you to say something about her face, even if she is 65 years old; don’t say anything about the wrinkles in her face. Tell her she is as beautiful as the first day you met her. Of course she knows that she has a 28 year old daughter who looks like her when you met; tell her she is still beautiful. The truth is if she is aging, you are also ageing, so compliment each other and refresh those good times. Surprise her with a dinner outing as a compliment. Go out and tell her the truth -- you are there for each other.

You shall be blessed in the city and in the countryside

He who watches over you neither sleeps nor slumbers. You have a big God by your side and that alone should help you defeat an inferiority complex. God has the ability to watch over mankind all the time and everywhere. If you set targets and fail to achieve them, don't give up, don't count yourself out before God does--why should you count yourself out when God still sees potential in you? Although King David instructed his servants to dress a table for himself and Mephiboshet, Mephiboshet took his physical inability as an excuse. Maybe you are reading this article and you are lame. Go out there and learn a trade or music--a man in a wheelchair can play a keyboard or trumpet as a professional and earn enough money to make him comfortable. The blind can also play flutes in musical bands or even work as interpreters if they learn foreign languages. Print this document and read it to someone who is unable to see. Share with them if you have such friends. The devil has brought an i...

That my words shall be seasoned with grace

Use nice words towards other people. Have you ever met people who can spit harsh, rude and unpleasant words? Have you ever argued with someone hurling insults and threats at you? If you met them stranded, would you offer assistance however little? There arises a need to weigh the language and words to you use if you ever desire to live a better life. Use the best language and tone to drive the point home. I have read some books by Dale Carnegie and my advice to you is that nice word can open great doors for you. Whether you are angry or provoked, use nice words just in case you are told to eat your words later. Let them not be bitter. In order to correct the utterances of one of His prophets, God sent and angel to put hot coal on Isaiah’s mouth to change his words (Isaiah 6:6). Earlier in that chapter Isaiah the prophet had confessed of having unclean lips (Isaiah 6:5). From there the prophet was able to be sent by God and his work was a success. Talking in an unpleasant manner won’t g...
