Tribute To Dr Myles Munroe !!!

It was a regular Monday Morning . I go through my phone scan through my apps to keep up with everything ,say my prayers ,take a shower, have breakfast then head out to school.However,this particular Monday was quite different . I scanned through my apps and I saw a picture of a familiar face with his wife and a  personal message saying " Who Are we to Question God ?He is Sovereign And His ways Are Far Higher Than Ours".  I searched Google immediately and then I saw the News Dr Myles Munroe His Wife and  others on board a private plane had passed on. I was astounded ,I had no words . I rushed off to school to make my morning classes but the thought occasionally came in as I sat through the lectures. I headed  home during my break and as I sat on my bed ,wondering what to make of it. I found Myself  focused on the words of Paul.
 (Phil 1:21 ,1 Cor 9:22)

" For Me to live is Christ and to Die is Gain".-This meant either way Paul was heaven conscious " in life" he would be carrying on the great commission doing exactly what Jesus wanted .It will be spreading the word in every way he can " for though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more and to the Jews I became as a Jew , that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law as under the law , that i might win those who are under the law, as under the law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ),that I might win those are without law, to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have Become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you" . 
   This demonstrates a man committed to the work of God  , a man so consumed with his purpose  that he could never be at a disadvantage either in life nor in death because he was heaven conscious. The Question I find  myself asking today is how conscious Of heaven are we?  David  recognized in Psalms that our times are in God's hands and he Prayed Father teach us to number our days that we might gain a heart of wisdom. My Prayer today is that we do not get too carried away with worthless things that we loose our consciousness of heaven and spend our time on time on worthless things. I pray that each day irrespective of how little our sphere of influence might be , Our lights will shine that our father would be glorified in heaven. The truth is what lives on would be the many hearts and lives you touched simply because you availed yourself to be used as God's instrument. What matters would not be the countless degrees and earthly achievements which would be insignificant on that day.

Today  I celebrate the life Of God's servant and his lovely wife . I think of a Man consumed with his  purpose that he  published 69 books for the Kingdom; dedicated his opportunity on earth to the great commission preaching in several nations of the world sharing kingdom truths on finance, purpose , singleness and more. O what an honor it must have been to have lived a life fully dedicated to the kingdom; O what a privilege it was to have sat in the same room with a man of faith who zealously and relentlessly shared the kingdom truth on purpose in Lagos Nigeria as I  tried to grasp every anointed word that came out of his mouth.

 As  I honor you and the other saints that have fallen asleep,I cant help but ask the question which I heard you say at the conference "What Will Be Said Of You"? Rest in the Bosom Of Our Lord Jesus Dr Myles, Ruth Munroe and the saints. 

In Memory of Dr Myles. I publish some of my favorite quotes and my favorite sermon on "Singleness" by this prolific writer and life coach.

The wealthiest places in the world are not gold mines, oil fields , diamond mines or banks. The wealthiest place is the cemetery. There is a treasure within you that must come out. Don't go to the grave with your treasure still within you. - Dr Myles Munroe

The bible dies not say that a man's education makes room for him , but that his gift does. Education is not the key to success,it doesn't guarantee anything; it is your gift that is the key to success. - Dr Myles Munroe

God did not create woman from man's head . that he should command her, nor from his feet , that she should be his slave, but rather from his side, that she should be near his heart -Dr Myles Munroe

Must See Clip ;Kirk Franklin and Steve Harvey on TBN Apr 04, 2011 Testimony



Where Would We Be If Not For The Grace Of God !!
We are what we are, we have what we have , we are where we are because of the grace of God.
Every saint has a past or a story and every sinner has a future .Don't be quick to judge when you do not know a persons story for our God did not send his son to condemn the world but he sent his son that" the world through him might be saved" john 3:17.

My Prayer is that we turn our eyes from trying so much to remove the speck in other peoples eyes and our focus is more on showing , giving and being that love that was freely given to us.

Being A Christian Is Way Rewarding Than Acting The Part !!




Bishop TD Jakes and Donnie McClurkin on TBN
Hey people,hope your week is  going great. I got to hear this interview and it inspired this write up.There were  certain things which stood out to me which my heart couldn't help but share and I think it's simply amazing how we could all watch the same video  and have different things which really stand out  to us.We would like to hear from you about it too so please feel free to share .
On that note,I'm going to share what I loved about it. The major things were ;Nobody is perfect,holiness is a lifelong process everybody has issues, and  the bishops honesty about his life and family.
Above all of them ,' Holiness is a lifelong Process' really stood out the most to me. The bible says in Rom 12:2 " Be ye not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind ".
Sometimes we forget that its not an instant change. Yes,it is very important that we stay in tune with God ;hearing his word,praying,worshiping,listening to tapes like this e.t.c but also remember that transformation takes time.I love when it makes reference  to  the fact that  people should be allowed to feel how they feel.They should not  be forced by somebody to act a certain way because you are a christian now or talk a certain way ' because somebody thinks you should.It tends to put an immense pressure on people to be perfect .That  Pressure that makes one constantly  aware of how your reactions should be,tends to  push people away.The intention  is usually good, most times,when this is done.However,it would only result in acting a certain way and living a life of hypocrisy without fulling understanding why we should act in a certain way.It should rather be yes you feel a certain way now and your reaction may be different but people should be allowed to go through the process of transformation and grow into what they believe. 'Faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of God 'We should be allowed to let God himself transform our hearts and minds daily .That soon enough,we begin to see by ourselves and we begin to understand by ourselves the love he has for us and because we daily come to a deeper revelation and realization of that love,our hearts can't help but respond to that love based on the understanding we do have.Which is demonstrated in our reactions to certain things and certain situations which ordinarily we would have done ,because we felt like,but because his love now compels us we choose not to. It's truly way fulfilling to really' be Christians' than just 'acting the part'.

How About A Smile!!


Happiness is a choice.We are not happy because everything around us is going according to plan all the time. We are happy because we choose to be. We make the choice each day not to be victims of our circumstances nor define our joy or happiness based on our circumstance but based on what we know.
Rom8:28"All things work together for Good to those that love God and are called according to his purpose".

Go Ahead and Smile God has Got You .

With Lots Of love FV

Food For Thought ;Wishing Among The Stars!!!!!!

This past week, I had what many refer to as an epiphany or as some fondly call it,
 an" Aha Moment". I know it may seem pretty obvious and glaring but have you really considered it.


You know how Growing up , many of us had dreams , even now, some of us have new dreams and we picture it so much that its basically all we see. We have aspirations, we picture ourselves doing certain things but  that's where it stops.The truth is if we sit back and wish all we want , it will not happen.  It is like believing that God will make your dream come to pass he will make you great but yet you sit at home all day and do nothing about it. Some of us are physically moving but are sitting on the inside. " Show me your faith  apart from your works and I will show you my faith by my works" james 2:18.Basically what are we doing that shows we believe that dream will come to pass ;What Plans and Preparations are we making ? What steps Are we taking ?

A man could wish  to be a pilot all he wants but if he doesn't take the necessary steps that need to be taken to achieve it, it will only be a dream.
I saw an illustration on television about this which stuck forever. A preacher had a jacket in his hands, holding the jacket in the air,  he said imagine the suit is faith however without works "the suit dropping to the floor"  is dead.It is not enough to just believe that I will change the world yet you sit all day on the couch or you are not doing anything in regards to it.

The Bible says in the book of Ecclesiastes that " A dream comes around through much activity" .Ecc5 :13 We  need to take steps or work towards actualizing that dream. Take for instance a little kid who dreams about being a Neuro surgeon someday. No matter how fantastic the dream is , if he does not go to medical school and take the necessary professional exams. It will remain a dream. Things don't just happen . Where do you see yourself? what goals are being set towards achieving it? The Output we will get is as a result of the input we put in and God's Grace. Which is able to take us beyond what we could ever imagine or think of.

I love the story of The spider man lead actress Emma Stone. She had a dream to be an actress as a child but her parents lived outside L A .Rather than ponder  and wish all day about it, she made a power point presentation for her parents convincing them to make the move to L A  in order to pursue her dream and  the rest is history.

The message here is ,nothing happens unless we move,. Our dream may not be as far off as we think. The Question is what are we doing about that dream?
