NOBODY KNOWS ANYBODY .


1 Corinthians 2:8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

NOBODY KNOWS ANYBODY!
=> Who would think that a man who had no shoes, would one day become President of Africa's most popular nation.
=> Who would think that a forsaken, forgotten, bush relegated shepherded boy like David would one day become the savior of Gods own people from their enemies hand.
=> What a man like Saul, who had the highest and most revered seat in the land could not stand against, little bush boy David, Demolished with little effort.

NEVER SAY YOU KNOW ME, 'COS YOU DON'T.
I'LL INTRODUCE ME TO YOU.
=> I am not what I have done, I am what I can do.
=> I am not who they say I am, I am who God said I am.
=> As He is in heaven, so am I in this world.
=> I am consistent, persistent, courageous, and relentless.
=> I am bold and audacious.
=> I am a victor
=> I have no place at the bottom, the Top is my place.
=> I am the righteousness of God In Christ Jesus.
=> I am Gods beloved.
=> I am The Lords anointed.
=> I am Gods battle axe.
=> I am Christ' ambassador here.
=> I am the apple of The Lords eyes, etc.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?
I DON'T THINK SO.

1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

NOBODY KNOWS ANYBODY.

TAKE ACTION!



Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

*** Even God Is Only Impressed By Your Actions.

Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

<*><*> Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle - Abraham Lincoln.
 
<*><*> What we think and what we know or believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.
 
<*><*> The world doesn't pay you for what you know, it pays you for what you do.
 
<*><*> The universe rewards action they say, yet a lot of folks get stocked in analyzing, planning and organizing instead of getting down to action.
 
<*><*> When you take action, you release the forces that will carry you to success.
 
<*><*> There are things you need, to take you to your dream place that can only come by experience, and not by listening or reading of books.
 
<*><*> What separate winners from losers more than anything else is that, winners take action. 
 
<*><*> They simply get up and do what is to be done. They may not start perfectly, but they will learn from their mistakes, make the necessary corrections and keep taking action.

NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL YOU TAKE ACTION.
Someone said once that;
*** If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to meet it.
*** One universal truth about life is, "How you do one thing is how you do everything".
*** Stop holding yourself back and go for the gold.

SUCCESS IS 10% INSPIRATION AND 90% PERSPIRATION.
*** Where people perspire, there is always a bad smell.

Most successful people have a low tolerance for excessive planning and too much talking.


*** Planning has its place but it must be kept in perspective.
*** Some people spend their whole lives waiting for the perfect time to do something.
*** There is rarely a perfect time to do anything.
*** Once you are in action, you'll start learning faster than you thought.

<*><*> One of the quickest way to hit a target is to fire, see where the bullet landed, and adjust your aim accordingly.
Keep firing and keep readjusting and you'll soon hit the target.

QUIT WAITING.

Quit waiting for Perfection.
Quit waiting for Inspiration.
Quit waiting for Permission.
Quits waiting for Reassurance.
Quit waiting for someone to change.
Quit waiting for the right person to come along.
Quit waiting for an absence of risk.
Quit waiting for someone to cover you.
Quit waiting for a clear set of instruction.
Quit waiting for more self confidence.
Quit waiting for the pain to go away.

SATISFACTION COMES FROM ENOUGH ACTION.

The word "satisfaction" comes from two words. "satis" and "action".
In Latin, "satis" means, "enough".
The Ancient Romans believed that enough action ultimately produces satisfaction.

Enough action in the right direction, will deliver for you, great satisfaction.
Action in the wrong direction, will bring you enough frustration.

Take the right action today !!

MASTER YOUR ANGER

Proverbs 16:32
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.


Uncontrolled anger can make you lose a city you once took.

Proverbs 19:19
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment:
for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.


<> Don't fly into a rage unless you are prepared for a rough landing.
<> Anger falls one letter short of danger.
<> If you lose your head, how can you expect to use it?
<> If you are patient in a moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.
<> The best cure for anger is delay.

Controlled anger will save you much mistakes that can cause untold pain.

Proverbs 19:11
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger;
and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.


Uncontrolled anger is a fool's possession. 

Ecclesiastes 7:9
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7:9 (The Message Bible).
Don't be quick to fly off the handle. Anger boomerangs. You can spot a fool by the lumps on his head.


STORY:
There was a little boy with bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy drove 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and his father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails where gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes on the fence."

The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. It won't matter how many times you say am sorry, the wound is still there. 
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

<> You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.
<> We must not only say the right things in the right place, but also to not say the wrong thing in tempting moments
