What are you downloading? - Part 2

For those who live according to the flesh, set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, on the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:5

You heart is the hard-disk which I call as "heart-disk", but your mind is the connection to the internet world. We have the data card or the Wifi hardware, which catches the connection to the internet. That same way, your mind is the connection to the internet world. You have the power to choose, what you want to download. No one can force you to download, something that you don't like. There are many thoughts that goes in your mind, anything that you think frequently and more than 15 seconds, your mind starts downloading. Don't think anything every 15 seconds, with a break.

You have the choice to go to the sites which you want. Sometimes unknowingly you open some sites and if you don't like it, you just close it. That same way, if there are thoughts coming to your mind which is associated with doubt, unbelief, pride, ego, selfishness, un-forgiveness, hatred, lust, adultery, etc. YOU have to close those thoughts. Don't let it download into your heart. Don't save it on your life's hard-disk. Erase everything that is not good and challenge yourself to move ahead. Relationships that has not worked, hurts of the past, erase it all.

Save the word of God, inspiring wallpapers, encouraging music, refreshing messages, new relationships, new dreams, new hope. All these things will help you to move ahead in life. Don't get stuck up in your life. Format your heart-disk completely. Everyday, when you read the word of God and the messages which I send you will format your heart-disk. You will have to let go of many things, but it is for your benefit so that you will never break down, nor get corrupted, you will not hang(stuck up) on anything in life. You will then be able to run difficult programs. Means you will never hang like the computer hangs and you will be able to overcome the difficulties of your life, because your whole computer will use its everything to run useful programs and not unwanted programs.

What are you downloading? - Part 1

For those who live according to the flesh, set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, on the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:5

What you set your mind to think is very important. What you constantly think upon is what settles in your heart. There are people whom I have heard talk only about extra marital affairs, sex and liquor. Later these people are surprised when they end up being addicted, in extra marital affairs or in a brothel. Why does it happen? Bible says, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." What your heart is full of is what you speak and, what you speak is what is going to happen in your life. Bible also says, "Life and death is in the power of your tongue and the person who loves it will eat its fruit." The choice is yours as to what fruit you want to eat, thats what you will speak.

What I want to tell you here is your heart is like the hard disk of a Computer. The computer doesn't understand much. It receives the input and basis that you will get the output. If you only save depressing songs in on the hard-disk, the day when you are low, you are not going to get any encouraging songs. Even if you type 'Encouragement' or 'Enthusiasm' or 'Joy', your computer will say, "No match found." The reason is because the inputs have never been Joy, encouragement or enthusiasm, love, forgiveness, faith so there can't be any similar outputs. There is a proverb, "Your body is, what you eat." So if you eat junk food accordingly it will reflect on your body. That same way if you feed your heart with junk inputs you are going to speak junk. Negativity, doubt, unbelief, curses, if you feed yourself with these thoughts, you are not going to speak faith, healing, deliverance, but you are going to speak, negativity, doubt and unbelief.

Resisting Temptations

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Resisting temptations 1st time is the biggest challenge. To resist the temptations continuously after that is consistent and perseverance. If you are willing you will do it the 1st time. If you are patient then you will continue to do it till that thought or that temptation is defeated.

You are defeated first in your mind, before you are actually defeated in your life. So remember that resisting your temptations is very important. When you learn to drive, you don't learn it on the first day. You have to practice it till you perfect it. After perfecting it, if you stop driving, you will soon lose its touch and no longer be perfect in your judgements. That same way, you have to keep on resisting the evil thoughts till you overcome it. But don't relax and be slack, but we watchful because if those thoughts come again, you have to resist it. Then you have overcome it. Then those thoughts no longer become a temptation for you.

These thoughts are not gone forever. It will come back and if you yield to those thoughts then again you will fall in sin. After you have defeated those evil thoughts don't think it will never come back. Don't think the tempter will come with a big bang. The bible says, the devil is a deceiver. He will deceive you with small things before taking you completely out of track. Faithfulness in small things is important before you be faithful in greater things. God will give you bigger things only if you are faithful in small things.

If small thoughts of lust, adultery, addictions come, say no to it at that very moment. Don't allow it to linger in your mind. If you have good friends who talk and do good, they will of great help to you. If you read and watch good stuff it will further help you. If you think good stuff and meditate on positive things, it will keep you healthy. Don't allow sin or sinful thoughts take root in your mind and heart.

I will go before you

And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.-Deuteronomy 31:8

This is how Moses instructed Joshua before his death. These words help Joshua to guide the people of Israel in the place of Moses. Moses confirmed that The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee,(Deut 31:3). for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.,(Josh 1:9). Beloved, today the Lord God of Israel promises you that he will go before you and you shall not beafraid. I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut insunder the bars of iron.(Isa 45:2).

Always seek the guidance and the approval of the Lord for all the decisions you make in your life. Then the Lord will go before you and the crooked places straight. Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.(Deut 1:32-33). Do not walk according to the will of your own flesh, but walk by the ways of the Lord. David proclaimed that Lord is his shepherd. There fore David kept always the Lord before him. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.(Ps 23:1-2). Like a sheep which follow the shepherd David followed the Lord always. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.(Ps 16:8). Our God is not the shepherd only for David but for any one who trusts in him and you become his flock. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.(1Pet 2:25). All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.(Isa 53:6). Because the God is your shepherd he walks before you - sheep.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him for they know his voice.(Jn 10:4). On many occasions you meet with failures because you do not keep the before you to guide you. To turn your failures in to success God promises that he will before you and fight to gain victory over your failures. The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;(Deut 1:30). You want the Lord to fight for you and give you victory –then you have obligations to fulfill. You have to wait for the Lord in his presence for his counsel and obey his commandments. In the life of David we observe how he obeyed God and in humility submitted himself to the Lord. God guided David the line of attack that he should fight with Philistines. When David has to fight the next time even then he waited upon God for guidance and the approach to attack his enemies. And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself.(2Sam 5:23-24). Beloved you have battle fields in this world. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(Eph 6:12). In this battle you have to seek His guidance to win your enemy - Satan. Confess your selves that you obey God in all your ways? If you say yes then you will always be the winner in life.And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.–Exodus 33:14

What to do in times of Temptations? - Part 3

And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." Matthew 4:2,3

Temptation begins in your mind. The tempter doesn't come to tempt you, where you can see it, but he is unseen. Hence you can easily succumb to the temptations. The tempter gives you variety of thoughts in your mind and keeps on putting till you like something and respond to it by allowing it to remain in your mind. In other words the tempter/devil tries to find your weaknesses through your thoughts which is not right as per the word of God, but you are weak in that area. You continue thinking on those thoughts and it begins to tempt you. If you don't discipline your thoughts and allow the thoughts of the devil to linger in your mind for a longer period of time, then you will soon realize that it has taken a stronghold in your mind. That evil thought has taken root in your mind which is now bearing fruit in the form of your actions. Remember your actions are directly proportionate to your thoughts. If you are trying to improve your actions without improving your thoughts you are going to fail. The change might be temporary and not lasting.

If you want to make a permanent change to your actions, then you have to change your thoughts by the word of God. The change of thoughts will give life to your behavior resulting in change of actions. Your actions will automatically change. Bible says, "Good tree bears good fruit and bad tree bears bad fruit. Make your tree good." You have to make your tree good by feeding it with the word of God. Reading, hearing and meditating on it. Don't forget what you have read.

Whatever you constantly think takes root in your mind. So if you thing wrong thoughts and allow it to linger in your mind then you will bear bad fruits which is resulted in your actions and words. Doubt, unbelief, adultery, lust, covetousness, greed, selfishness, pride, ego etc all comes from temptations which you have allowed to remain in your mind. Renew your mind with the word of God, reading, hearing, and meditating on what you have read and heard. This will change you and you will be a new creation. You will then be able to overcome your temptations always.

Your efforts should be not to change your actions, but fill yourself with the word of God so much, that you don't feel hungry for things which will tempt you. Jesus said, "If you drink of the water that I give you, you will not thirst again." Drink of the word of God constantly and you will not be hungry to be tempted

What to do in times of Temptations? - Part 2 - Please read

And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." Matthew 4:2,3

Please remember, the people who come to you and ask you to prove something, they know, you are capable of doing it, otherwise, why will they come to you with that particular point? Don't try to prove to people what you can do. At the right time God will give you the opportunity and the people will know who you are and what are your capabilities. Don't be controlled by the people or your temptations. Discipline your thoughts.

When you are in lack, when you are in trying situations, when you desperately need something, that is the time, when the devil comes to tempt you, to compromise on the word of God, on your standing for God. When you are low, that is the time, when lustful and adulterous thoughts come to you, that is the time when the thoughts of suicide come to you, that is the time you are restless, and want to do something or other, that is the time when you find a shoulder, other than your spouse and end up cheating. When you are low that is the time, when you don't find your family members trustworthy, but your friends who are in wrong company and doing wrong things. This also happens when you are stressed out and exhausted mentally and physically

There is an alarm that goes inside you, but because you are so exhausted and stressed out or in lack that you find compromising is better than taking the stand. At times you want to take the stand but because of your exhaustion and stress you don't have enough strength to resist or fight against your temptations and give in to your temptations. Such times, though strong and having good relationship, yet end up in extra marital affairs, wrong relationship. Such times if you have the word of God inside you, Holy Spirit will be able to give you strength from your spirit through the word of God to resist such thoughts and all kinds of temptations.

If you want to overcome then you will have to fill yourself with the word of God. Only then Holy Spirit can give you supernatural strength through the word of God. The word of God will give you joy and will not allow you to be stressed out in all situations. The joy of the Lord will also not allow you to be stressed and succumb to the temptations.

What to do in times of Temptations? - Part 1

And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." Matthew 4:2,3

I want you all to see an amazing thing, what God showed me. The devil also known as the tempter comes to tempt you when you are hungry. Jesus had fasted 40 days and 40 nights by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was hungry after the fast. Spiritually, Jesus had become very strong, but in the natural, He was hungry. The tempter, didn't come anytime, but waited till Jesus was hungry. Jesus was so hungry that He could feel the hunger. The most important thing that Jesus need at the hour was food. The tempter knew that Jesus being the Son of God has the power to convert the stone into bread.

The best thing here is that Jesus after fasting in the will of God and the power of the Holy Spirit was in the perfect will of Heavenly Father. He could have proved to the devil that He is the Son of God. Thats where we have the chance to fail. We try to prove to people who we are. Its not that the tempter didn't know who Jesus was, yet he was asking those questions. Why? It was only to put doubt and unbelief. Jesus was sure of who He is and what is His purpose on the earth. Many of us we try to prove to people who we are, not because they don't know, but because we are not sure of who we are. Dig yourself in the word of God and you will know who you are? Meditate on it and you will be sure and confident. Trying to prove to people and please them, we tend to go out of the will of God. Instead of pleasing God, we end up pleasing people. Then we end up losing our peace. Trying to please people, steals our peace and also our joy.

Resisting God's will – Part 2

But John tried to stop/ resist/ hinder/ forbid Jesus saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me. Matthew 3:14

John was talking Jesus out of the perfect will of God and getting Him into the permissive will of God. Perfect will of God has (100%) perfect blessings associated to it. The blessings in the perfect will of God is like a loaf of blessing falling in our plate, otherwise it is like crumbs of blessing falling in our plate. Many are struggling in their blessing because of this. Walk the narrow path, go the extra mile, be righteous even though others around you might not walk the narrow path, walk the extra mile, or live a righteous life, but you do it. God will bless you for what you do for Him.

Then you will be different than others. They will be jealous of you, negative about you and even hate you, because they can't do what you can do. They can't be like you. Don't let people like John the baptist, talk you out of the will of God. God is first and not John the Baptist. Don't compromise on the will of God, because John is giving you the importance. Humble yourself like Jesus, then like Jesus even you will hear from God in front of everyone, "This is My beloved child." This is honor in front of others. Bible says, "God will give you double honor."

Don't resist the word of God, don't resist the will of God, no matter who the person who is talking you out of it. That person will be your closest friend, your leader, your coach, your teacher, with due respect they might be even your parents or even yourself. Don't give in and settle for the broadway because its easy. Don't settle for the single mile and settle for mediocrity. Leap ahead and jump up to do the perfect will of God and receive your blessings. I declare blessings on your life, in Jesus' name.

Resisting God's will – Part 1

But John tried to stop/ resist/ hinder/ forbid Jesus saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me. Matthew 3:14

The bible points out clearly that John the baptist resisted Jesus doing the perfect will of God. John himself at that point, was walking out of the will of God and was trying to talk Jesus out of the will of God. Many will see this as humility. But this is false humility. Everything that comes out of the flesh is corrupt. John was thinking he is pleasing Jesus by trying to be humble, but he missed the point. True humility is in obeying the word of God. Taking the word of God at its face value. Doing what God tells you to do without any questions is true humility. There is no second thought or second part to it.

John the baptist would have missed the will of God because of his false humility. This happens to many of us. We miss the perfect will of God and the blessing associated with it due to our false humility. We try to show ourselves as humble before the people, but in our heart our intentions are different. The obedience that comes with the intent of pleasing God and, not ourselves or with any other mean intentions, is true humbleness. When God asks you to do something, you know that you can't do it, yet you are doing it, its difficult for you, its very inconvenient for you, yet you are doing it with a heart to please God, is true humbleness coming from God. This humility pleases God. When the focus is not on yourself, but God and others, its true humility. Everything that turns out to be a reaction instead of an action, maximum times is because of self importance, which further leads to pride. Pride stops you from doing God's will.

Importance of Wisdom & Understanding – Part 3

And God has filled you with His Spirit, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. Exodus 35:31

Wisdom and understanding is very important. You may have the skills and talents, but if you don't have wisdom, understanding & knowledge, you will not know how to use your skills. You may have skills to fight a battle, but how to place it you need wisdom, whom you require to place where you need understanding of the situations, who can do what to get you the victory you need the knowledge of it.

God's wisdom & understanding gives you a picture of how things can be done. Wisdom will reveal to you what you can do with the knowledge you have. Even though you might not have the knowledge of a particular thing, but because of God's wisdom and understanding, you will be led to do things in a perfect way. Wisdom will help you to win the heart of people. Wisdom will always keep you above.

During my school and college days, during my examination I asked God, please reveal to me the question paper. My friend used to do many things which wasn't right. He also used to copy by carrying chits and other things for the exams. I told God, "I will hold my integrity and I will not copy, but I want your help and your wisdom to study. By Your wisdom reveal the question paper to me and by Your understanding help me study as per the question paper." God did it. I knew the question paper before the exams. I used to tell my friend these questions are going to come for the exam. Initially he didn't believe. Later when he realized I didn't tell him.

What I want to say is that everyone can experience what I have experienced and continue to experience this, by asking God for wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Wisdom is very important in our life. I have already received couple of testimonies from people who have read the 1st part of Importance of Wisdom, understanding and knowledge. God is confirming His word with signs and wonders. You too can have wisdom to be a part of you, by honoring God and asking Him.

Importance of Wisdom & Understanding – Part 2

And God has filled you with His Spirit, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. Exodus 35:31

What does wisdom and understanding do? You may have knowledge but how to apply it you need understanding and where to apply it you need wisdom. If you apply your knowledge everywhere, it doesn't guarantee you the best result. You apply it basis your judgement thinking that it is best suited in this place. Your judgement can also be wrong or may not be 100%. But when you have wisdom and understanding, it will tell you which knowledge is the best to apply where. Which of your previous experiences are good to be used. Moreover wisdom will give you new creative ideas, which you could have never thought about in all your life. This idea will put you over in life. It will get you the promotion that you could have never thought about. It could get you appreciations from people who could never think that you are worth.

I remember in one of my first jobs. I was given a small brand with its section to handle. In India, Mall was a new concept. The place where I stay, it was the only mall. It was the time of promotion and my Manager didn't recommend me for the promotion. I wasn't aware of this fact. There were no customers and I thought I will make my brand look good. God gave me an idea and I did exactly as God showed me. It happened that day, that the General Manager had come in our mall. He is based out in another place. As he was checking out how everything looked at my brand and said, "This section, I feel as if I'm standing in a mall located in Europe. I wasn't there. He spoke to my manager and enquired about my details. He was so happy with me that he recommended me for promotion.

Importance of Wisdom & Understanding – Part 1

And God has filled you with His Spirit, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. Exodus 35:31

I want to show you the importance of being filled with Holy Spirit. When you are full of the Holy Spirit (i.e the Spirit of God) you will be full of wisdom, understanding, knowledge in all kind of work that He calls you to do. Many will say, "God hasn't called me to do anything in particular." That's not the truth. The truth is that God has called you to earn your living, so you will be able to take care of your family in a better way. God has called you to study so you will be able to pass your exams and do better. God has called you to practice harder so you will be able to perform better. For doing all this in a perfect way and its best, you need the Spirit of God. Only the Holy Spirit can give you true wisdom, understanding and knowledge.

You will have the knowledge from what you have studied. But we all know that whatever we have studied, gives us a limited knowledge to accomplish the work we have to do. When God gives knowledge it is very different. His knowledge is backed up with wisdom & understanding. You will be able to do things which you have never heard, read, thought about. It will get you to the place where you could have not reached even your whole life. God's wisdom, understanding and knowledge is very important.

Wisdom, understanding and knowledge from God has great power. If you treasure it and ask God daily for wisdom, understanding and knowledge you will be successful beyond your imagination and in your daily life. God's wisdom, understanding and knowledge will help you in building your family, bringing up your children, leading a right life and even guiding your children to life a right life.

Next part you will see further depth of God's wisdom, understanding & knowledge. Continue with me for the next part.

Being focused – Keeping our focus right

God said, "Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go." Psalm 119:6

Don't let people steal your focus. Write your goal and purpose that God has put in your heart, the dreams you have, where you can see everyday. I have the word of God and His promises written on my mirrors, my bathroom doors, my kitchen wall, my main entrance door. This will remind you everyday, what you ought to do and where you ought to go. Have a plan for next 10 years, 5 years and 2 years. Revisit the plan v/s the achievement every now and then. This is how you will be focused.

The person who is focused will be friendly with everyone, yet he/she will not spend time with them. How wonderful it is. There will be many fans following such people, yet he will not give in to them. They will not be satisfied of what they have achieved.

There was a famous Pole Vault athlete, Sergei Bubka. He entered international arena at the age of 19. He broke his own records. By the time others reached his previous record and think will beat him, Sergei Bubka used to raise his bar and create new records. He is known as a great athlete. You ought to have a vision. Bible says, "Without a vision, the people or that person will perish." You have to raise a bar always. Every time you reach your short term targets, revise and raise the target of your future targets. Keep targets that are impossible for you to achieve. Those targets shouldn't be basis your capabilities, but it should be basis God's capabilities.

I'm telling you the truth, I have got big dreams. I have a focus and a target. I have got big dreams not basis my skills, but basis my God's capabilities. I have seen double promotions in my life. I have impossible made possible by God in my life. Day on day, hour by hour you should remind yourself about your focus. Write it on your hands, so you can remind yourself. Don't forget it. Take the help of the Holy Spirit and He will help you in your struggle. In your breaks read the bible. Through the word of God, the Holy Spirit will keep you focused. Word of God is very important for the Holy Spirit to remind you and keep you focused.

Start living inside out. Inside out Holy Spirit will remind you and keep you focused. Thats why great Men and Woman of God are focused. Even the weakest person becomes focused and rises up. So remember, don't lose your focus, If lost, get your focus right, and once got your focus right, continue to keep it right.

Power of Tongue

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. - Proverbs  18:21
We can compare our tongue to a key.  This key will open the gate of death and the door of life.  In the same way we can compare our tongue to a tree.  Through this tree we can bare good fruits and bitter fruits.  So the word of God says Death and life are in the power of the tongue.  You all are the children of God, for what purpose you are using your tongue?  How the word from your mouth leads you?  Is it lead to the path to life or to the path to death?  Most of the times, due to the bitterness and due to the anger the words of cursing comes from your mouth.  You are cursing yourself.  You are cursing your children's and others.  Dear beloved Lord has chosen you to bless who curses you.  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;(Mat 5:44)  We are the children of God and we have to use our tongue to confess three things that which leads you to the path of life.  First we use our tongue to confess our sins.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1Jn 1:9)  Every day night when you come to the presence of God you must think about what are the things you done on that day.  If you find any things you done was not pleased in the sight of God, confess it and repent.  You will see the blessings.
Secondly you must use your tongue to confess word of faith.  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:    He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.(Rom 4:19-21)  Most of time you are speaking unbelief words and so the promise of God is not fulfilling in your life and some time you are seeing delay in his promise.   Speak the word of faith for all and in all times.  Then you will see the fulfillment of words that comes out from your mouth.   Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.   So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.(Heb 13:5-6)  Thirdly we must confess Christ and His glorious.  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.(Phil 2:11)  I seen many are keeping silent in the time of worshiping.  In the time of worshiping we must confess the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We must confess his glorious.  Then your tongue abides in the path of life.  Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.(Rev 5:12)
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. – 1John 4:15

Being focused – Getting our focus right

Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments. Psalm 119:6

Choose the right company. The people who talks 90% about your goal and challenges you to reach their are the people whom you ought to hang out with. They might be your best friend, but they are not challenging you to rise up better move ahead. The 10% time you have to meet them if you really have to, otherwise use that 10% also for getting your focus right.
You have one life and very less time to achieve what you intend to achieve. Set your priorities right. Many have too many things in their plate. They are not able to choose what ought to be there and what ought to be removed. Others keep on putting in their plate and they without realizing keep all of it. They are not able to prioritize what is needed and what is not needed.
Its time to clean your plates and keep only what is required. You will ask, "How do I know what is right and what is not?" Plate is your life and things on your plate are everything in your life. Check everything in your plate, does it help you to reach your goal and aim in life. If you are serious in reaching to new heights and do great things, then you will have to pay the price of disciplining yourself and removing everything that is not part of your goal. As of now even if those things are helping you only 10% remove it. Keep things which will help you surge ahead immediately and in the long term.
You should be like the horse that is running a race. You will see that its eyes are covered so that it sees only ahead. Apart from that it can't see anything. Whats going around it? Who is at what pace? Who is next to it? All of this doesn't affect it. That same way, cover your eyes that you don't start competing with others. Let the reigns of you life, be in the hands of God as the reigns of the horse in the hand of the jockey. The jockey decides the pace depending on the distance to the finish. That same way, your life's reign should be in the hands of God. Let Him decide your pace. Let Him decide in which position you should be when you begin, cause later on He will strengthen you to surge ahead and be victorious. He will build your stamina too. Trust in Him with everything and let God do everything in your life.
While doing this, let nothing come in your plate distracting you from reaching your finish line. Remove things and people whoever are not helping you. This is only for those who want to get their focus right. If you are ok with your focus and have no goal in life, you can continue with wherever you are.
