GOD BLESS AFRICA

…Spreading the powerful affirmation…"
God bless Africa, God bless Africa
Guard her children, guide her leaders.
God bless Africa, God bless Africa,
God bless Africa and bring her peace.
This prayer\ song “God bless Africa” was written by Bishop Trevor Huddleston.
What would happen if people in different countries said this prayer on a daily or weekly basis? Wenda and I believe we would see drastic changes in all areas of life in our continent.
Since my visit to St Wilfrid's Anglican Church in Pretoria earlier this year... I have made up my mind to spread this across the Africa continent.
With God's help this can happen.
God bless Africa, God bless Africa
Guard her children, guide her leaders.
God bless Africa, God bless Africa,
God bless Africa and bring her peace.
By Bishop Trevor Huddleston
Spread the word.
Proudly African.

Never take counsel of your fears.

Having humble and reasonable confidence in your own powers creates self-confidence that leads to self-realisation. It is said that a thousand people can believe in you but if you don’t believe in yourself it's all in vain.

Believing in yourself is a choice.

You were specifically designed for a reason.

Emerson declared tremendous truth: They conquer who believe they can.
Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain. Practice confidence and faith and your fears and insecurities will soon have no power over you.

You have what it takes.

Never take counsel of your fears.

The secret is to fill your mind with thoughts of faith and confidence.
It’s not what life hands you but how you respond to it that really matters most.

The Power of Thoughts

AUTO SUGGESTION

If you think you are beaten you are,
If you think you dare not you don’t.
If you like to win but you think you can’t
It’s almost certain you won’t.

If you think you will lose you’re lost.
For out in the world we find,
Success begins in the fellow’s will-
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed you are,
You have got think high to rise,
You have got to be sure of yourself
Before you can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the
Faster or stronger man but soon or later,
The man who wins is the man
WHO THINKS HE CAN.

HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO LIKE YOU.

One of the deepest drives of human nature is the desire to be appreciated. I admit that i want people to like me. The feeling of not being wanted or needed is one of the most devastating in one’s life.

Not being liked can produces Illness, frustration and serious psychological consequences.

To be a master of popularity, you must become one of those rare character about whom people say: He/She has something.
To get people to like you, become comfortable with yourself. Be easy going and natural, having a pleasant, kind personality.

You must be easy to be with and you must be good company. Many times, you have to create an outstanding example.
Like the people you come across. Do not perfect your faults but spend the rest of your life building capacity for friendliness. Practice building up people’s Egos. Make people feel important. Build up as many people as you can then they will give you their undying devotion.

Remember to 'Do it Unselfishly".

Be warned though, you will never get everybody to like you.
Be wise not to let this affect you if you do not achieve perfect popularity with everyone.

Passionately living,
Katherine

THE CHALLENGE, By Jim Rohn

*Let others lead small lives, but not you.
*Let others argue over small things, but not you.
*Let others cry over small hurts, but not you.
*Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

LET IT GO. Revised Edition but Originally written by T.D.Jakes


There are people who can walk away from you; and hear me when I tell you this! When people walk away from you: Let them walk.

I don’t want you to try to talk another person into staying with you or staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.

When people walk away from you, let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible says that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they where not for us, for had they been for us, no doubt they would have continued with us. (1 John 2:19)

People leave you because they are not joined to you, you can’t make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn’t mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part of the story is over. And you’ve got to know when people’s part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You’ve got to know when it’s dead.

You’ve got to know when it’s over. Let me tell you something, You've the gift of Goodbye.
It’s a spiritual gift.
I too believe in goodbye. It’s not that I’m hateful, it’s that I’m faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He will give it to me. And if it takes to much sweat I don’t need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to…LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains…LET IT GO!!!

If someone can’t treat you right, love you back and see your worth…LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you…LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge…LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction…LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents…LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude… LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better …LET IT GO!!!

If you are stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in him…LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship…LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won’t even try to help themselves…LET IT GO!!!

If you’re feeling depressed and stressed… LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself And God is saying, “Take your hands off it,” then you need to… LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past.
Forget the former things. God is doing a new thing !!! LET IT GO!!!
Get Right or Get Left…Think about it, and then LET IT GO!!!

“The battle is the Lord’s!”

YOUR BOSS CANNOT MAKE YOU RICH. By Napoleon Hill

The economic changes currently happening are partly from the sales and mergers of companies.
Recently a friend of mine sold his company. He put more than 15 million dollars into his bank the day of the sale. His employees had to look for new jobs.

At the farewell party, which was filled with tears, there were also undercurrents of extreme anger and resentment. Although he had paid them well for years, most workers were not financially better off on their last day of work than they were on their first day of work. Many people realized that the owner of the company had gotten rich while they spent all their years collecting their paychecks and paying bills.

The reality is your boss’ job is not to make you rich. Your boss’ job is to make sure you get your paycheck. If you have poor management skills then all the money in the world can not save you. If you budget wisely then you are on your path to great personal fortune and most importantly freedom.

HOW TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

Too often, our minds are locked on one track. We are looking for red _ so we over look blue. Many Nobel prizes have been washed down the drain because someone did not expect the unexpected.
John. D. Turner

A mountain stream that flows down a majestic peak often has to alter it’s course from year to year. Fallen tree branches, clumps of dead leaves and dislodged rocks can make the mountain terrain change from season to season. So each season the water must forge a different path on it’s journey to the valley.
How like the stream are you? Think of this day as a terrain on the mountainside of your life. You are the stream. If you had a choice, would you seek out a path that keeps you entrenched in familiar and ineffective ways of doing things? Or would you be willing to follow down a new path_ one that holds unpredictable twists and turns that may encourage you to approach things differently?
Like nature, life involves change. So the possibility of doing things the same way over and over again is nearly impossible. While the predictable path may feel more comfortable, it goes against the nature of change and growth. The unpredictable path, however, flows with nature as it guides you to an outlook that’s focused on flexibility rather than resistance.
Choose to be as a fluid and flexible as water.
In addition, be much more willing to explore the unpredictable

One of my favorite stories in the bible is the "Journey to the Promised Land". Isn't God Amazing in all He does? It is sometime difficult to believe that God’s promises for us are just around the corner, But because of little faith we spend 40years in the wilderness missing what belongs to us.

This story bewilders my human existence. Moses woke up one morning and was told to lead the Israelites out of bondage. It is said that the journey from Egypt to Israel was an 11 (eleven) day trip and yet it took them 40 years!!!!!
40 full years Gallivanting in the desert????? My...oh...my!

I have heard and seen people who are at the exact spot year after year. I have as well fallen victim to this in many areas of my life. We tend to fear to fail, we worry about the road unknown. For these reasons we are kept in bondage from our wants and desires instead of setting our faith to the creator and owner of all things.

One year ago, I was praying with a friend when all over a sudden she said, Kathy, we have settled in the wilderness for so long. Moreover, it is totally our fault because we have accepted the circumstances.
She said, It is time to believe in God to work wonders in our lives.

This particular story of the wilderness is an allrounder with all conditions of our lives. For example; financial wilderness, job wilderness, partner wilderness, social wilderness, political wilderness, religious wilderness and so on…
Gosh!!!!!! It frightens me to be at the exact spot 30 - 40 years down the road. Yet again, that is exactly what will happen if we loose trust and faith in God and ourselves.

Let’s take a stand. A lot is at stake if we don’t.

Passionate about life.
