Just a reminisce,

A powerful prayer program led by Pastor Tayo Ogunmefun (Christ Royal Church Hackney) at Celestial Church of Christ, Christ Royal Parish Harvest Week events (2014). Bible text-Nehemiah 6:2-4New King James Version (NKJV) 2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they thought to do me harm. 3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?” 4 But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner. He said we must fight for our dream because every dream comes with attack so if we want to live well we must be ready and prepared for an attack. He went on to say that in life people are remembered by the problem they solve and or by the problem they make, he said that God created eyes to see, nose to breath and the legs to walk. He made emphasizes on the fact that God is in the business of solving our problems hence HE created us to be a problem solver, because people who solve problem excel in all works of life- in ministry, marriage and at work. And finally he said as we move on to fulfilling our dream, we should be careful of the people who we associate with. such as the cautious- people that run away when there is a problem; the critics - people that always criticize but rather we should associate with committed people -people that inspire, have goals and focus and can add value to our destiny. My teacher once told me this “The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.” Brethren, if any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him. Michal's barrenness (2 Samuel 6:21-23), was not necessarily the result of Divine judgement. It may be that David never had marital relations with her again. Nevertheless, the principle stands: there is often barrenness in the life and camp of the overly critical. I was once told that you cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair. Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys and important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.
