WHO'S THE THIEF IF I DIE WITH WHAT BELONGS TO THE WORLD? IV

Yes, who do you think the theif would be, who would be accused if you die with what belonged to the world, who would be responsible? Is it you, the devil or death, the cemetery, God, who? Before you conclude, let's listen to Dr. Myles Munroe.
"The wealthiest spot on this planet is not the oil fields of Kuwait, Iraq or Saudi Arabia. Neither is it the gold and diamond mines of South Africa, the uranium miles of the Soviet Union, or the silver mines of Africa. Though it may surprise you, the richest deposits on our planet lie just a few blocks from your house. They rest in your local cemetery or graveyard. 
Buried beneath the soil within the walls of those sacred grounds are dreams that never came to pass, songs that were never sung, books that were never designed, plans that never went beyond the drawing board of the mind, and purposes that were never fulfilled. Our graveyards are filled with potential that remained potential. What a tragedy!?"

Take the above words as food for thought. Before you blame the devil who biblically is the thief; before you conclude that the cemetery is the thief (of course God isn't the thief here no matter what, because He played His part by depositing those gifts, potentials and abilities in you); the you must consider yourself as the thief. Not now, but when you die with what belonged and should have done the world enough good by contributing to her growth, welfare, health, productivity, economy, peace etc.

Yes, you are the thief at first, if you allow death to take you when you are not yet empty; if you are getting old without counting the lives that have been impacted by your purpose and essence. It is after you've seen yourself as a thief for failing that you can blame the devil who bears the theif for stealing, killing and destroying. The cemetery is never a thief, it is just an occupant of what the thieves (those ghat died without exhausting their vessels) and the empty vessels but of course, it contains a lot of treasure the thieves never released or maximized for the world before dying.

Now, not everyone that didn't die empty is a thief in the cemetery based on the innocence or guilt of the potential principle. In the cemetery lies the young and old, some who never realized their potentials because they aren't aware of what they carry and have been gifted with, and some who did but refused to or couldn't maximize them before dying. 

I'll conclude this series by the words of Dr. Myles Munroe which goes thus: 
"only a minute percentage of the five billion people on this planet will experience a significant portion of their true potential. Are you a candidate for contributing to the wealth of the cemetery? 
Ask yourself the following questions: who am I? Why am I here? How much potential do I have? What am I capable of doing? By what criteria should I measure my ability? Who sets the standards? By what process can I maximize my ability? What are my limitations? 
Within the answers to those questions lies the key to a fulfilled, effective life. You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you. You are more than what you have done".

The End. 
Two of my books will be out in about a week, one will be launched and the other will be free, anticipate.

LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE (a promised reference to Timilehin David's similar letter years ago)

If you are reading this, it is to show how highly God has proposed and buoyantly vouched for you as the apple of his eyes. To a royal diadem, a rare gem, the good thing I'll find whose worth is beyond rubies, the brightest star in the sky I'm staring at and looking forward to embrace her shining light, my other half, the fairest among women (just like my fairy mum) whose heart is golden and cannot be bought by the worth of earthly treasures, one whose stance would cause the fall of a thousand men, and her walking steps draw the gaze of mighty men. To my future wife, whose eyes I would love to fix my gaze, whose cheeks I would love to caress, whose succulent lips I would love to taste like the honeycomb and beautiful body I would love to glue onto like the magnet on the day of matrimony. Your smile is a beaming hope, your laughter a contagious joy and your teeth like the bright spring in the sunny day. I hope reading this won't make you think I am carnal because ...

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE YOU DON'T KNOW

You might want to wonder, does LOVE have any other side (just like a coin though single but having two SIDES)? Do I not know about the entirety of love or does it still transcend beyond the description and exposition given to it by Apostle Paul in 1Cor 13?  Do you know that, just the way you can't decipher all that God is even though He fully demonstrated His nature of love by becoming a Father and sacrificing Himself (the Soul - Jesus the Christ as His only Son) for humanity; you can't also comprehend all that Love is because God is Love? Now, let me bring clarity to avoid confusion. What do I mean by the OTHER SIDE OF LOVE? Like everybody else will think, the answer to that question would be the painful side of love or the sacrifices of love or the challenges that may befall one because of love etc. But that's not where my target is, instead it is the most neglected nature of Love - BALANCE. When you hold a coin or are given a coin what attracts you the most i...

EXAMINATION TIPS FOR BELIEVERS

  The secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well - John D. Rockefeller.  As believers, the kind of success that God wished that we manifest in is different from that of unbelievers. It is success that supercedes man's (self) ability; one that is traceable to the enabling power of God; one which can be drawn, associates and is enabled (in and) by the Spirit, so that we cannot boast of our power, knowledge, skills and every of our ability but by the strength, quickening and enabling power of God. This is applicable to all spheres: Business, Work, Education etc including Ministry. But due to the course of this writing, I'll be centering on exams especially students that are believers. If you aren't one of them, make a quick deliberate decision and be convinced of your salvation, else, you are missing out amongst Christ's family (and the benefits of being a Son, a few of what I'll be sharing here).  According to Josh 1:8 - KJV:This book of the law sh...

TRANCES OF YOUR PROPOSED STATURE

  Num 24:4 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open,  16 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open The word Trance is derived from the Greek word ( ekstasis ) meaning a displacement of the mind that is bewilderment, ecstasy; be amazed. The condition expressed by this word is a mental state in which the person affected is partially or wholly unconscious of objective sensations, but intensely alive to subjective impressions which, however they may be originated, are felt as if they were revelations from without. They may take the form of visual or auditory sensations or else of impressions of taste, smell, heat or cold etc. The English Dictionary defines it as a dazed or unconscious condition; (consciousness) a state of concentration, awareness and is foc...

DON'T GET DISCONNECTED, STAY ON COURSE

It is of no fallacy that there is no boundary, blockage or distance barrier of any sort to the access or manifestation of the Spirit. And indeed, there is no medium whatsoever that the Holy Spirit cannot use to demonstrate enormous power, no matter how unimaginable or unreasonable it may be ( Mantle - 2Ki 2:14, Hem of garment - Matt 14:36, Handkerchief and Apron - Acts 19:12, Shadow - Acts 5:15).  You might have heard of testimonies of men about the move of God's power, either through Social Media (despite the different locations - countries and continents across the globe), Audio or Video Messages and many more. Also, it is not bad or devilish for believers to have spiritual books, messages, write ups etc on their phones, laptops or any technological gadgets.  Doing these does not serve majorly any other purpose than to use them to build up ourselves spiritually and get imparted by the anointing of the Men of God. Which has helped us to access the unreachable mate...
