Aspects of our lives that need transformation:

Text: 2Tim3:1-7

1. Relationships: In all your getting, develop wisdom for your relationship as it is primarily your responsibility. Don’t just pray for a good marriage; plan for it, develop people skills and learn to be accountable.

2. Finances: You cannot build sustainable wealth without prudence. Read beyond the Bible, save up, learn new things to create more opportunities for financial growth. Prov6:6-11

There are two Ancient Greek words to describe time which are;
• Chronos - Chronological and it’s quantitative. Eccl 3:1. This means clock time and it’s measured in hours, mins, seconds, and years.

Three (3) Uncommon Secrets in Prayer

1. CONCENTRATION - if you learn to concentrate in your prayer life, It will multiply the results of your prayer in an astronomical way. The biggest attack on prayer in this generation is low attention span. Prayer requires the investment of your emotion & alertness - “watch & pray”.

Keep the image of God in your spirit, don't lose focus. Master the art of concentration if you want to carry a presence in your life...

Genesis 15:5 The reason why some people don’t desire more in life is that they’ve not gone out a lot.

Sometimes God pushes us to see things from a different perspective. Sometimes God’s best is interrupted by God’s good. We must be thankful. We must not be complacent.

It’s good there’s Facebook but we must have a faith book because God knows every record of our lives Matt 12:36.

When it comes to God’s book there is a standard, you’ll be judged according to the standard and you’ll give account. Asides from a faith book, God also has a book of life and that book is for people who have everlasting life. John 3:16.

Psalm 5:11-12

We rejoice because we know we are on the winning side. God is our defense and we have a defense by his Favour. When you’re planning for your future and every area of your life you can plan with Favour.
• Favour is reliable because it’s a shield.
• Favour is not a miracle but a strategy.
• Favour is not a windfall or a mystery.
If it happens repeatedly consistently then it is Favour and not an accident...

“BREAKFAST”

He led Phillip to the Eunuch whose status involved having something precious taken away from him ( Acts 8: 27-39). He received salvation that he desperately needed.

➡️ It’s God’s desire to bind us up from our pain. (Isaiah 61:1 )

While dealing with pain and trauma, the following are noteworthy:
