COMMANDING YOUR MORNING

-

 MANY ASK ME WHY ARE YOU EVER SMILING AND FULL OF ENERGY?


My Answer is, I command my morning.


HOW?

1. PRAYER 

Pray specific passages. Scriptural prayers as well as a number of Psalms lend themselves well to this purpose.


a) Let every evil spirit seeking to frustrate my day and my assignment be thwarted. In the name of Jesus, amen.


b) Father, I anticipate the good things You have prepared for me today. Bring complete order to my day as I seek You first and make Your will my priority. I rejoice in the new day You have given me. I praise You for making it fruitful and productive. Thank You for teaching me ways to increase my effectiveness— to work smarter. I work according to Your agenda and perform for an audience of one—the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’s name, amen.


c) Protect me, My family, my workplace, my colleagues, my seniors and leaders, my nation and anyone who knows me or who I know 


2. PRAISE

Start your prayer hour by praising the Lord. Praise Him for things that are on your mind right now. Praise Him for one special thing He has done in your life in the past week. Praise Him for His goodness to your family.


2. WAIT

Spend time waiting on the Lord. Be silent and let Him pull together reflections for you.


3. CONFESS

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you anything in your life that might be displeasing to Him. Ask Him to point out attitudes that are wrong, as well as specific acts for which you have not yet made a prayer of confession. Now confess that to the Lord so that you might be cleansed.


4. READ THE WORD

Spend time reading in the Psalms, in the prophets, or passages on prayer located in the New Testament.


5. ASK

Make requests on behalf of yourself.


6. INTERCESSION

Make requests on behalf of others.


7. THANK

Give thanks to the Lord for the things in your life, on behalf of your family, and on behalf of your church.


8. SING

Sing songs of praise or worship or another hymn or spiritual song.


9. MEDITATE

Ask the Lord to speak to you. Have a pen and paper ready to record impressions He gives you.


10. LISTEN

Spend time merging the things you have read, things you have prayed and things you have sung and see how the Lord brings them all together to speak to you.


11. PRAISE

Praise the Lord for the time you have had to spend with Him and the impressions He has given you. Praise Him for His glorious attributes.

  My desire to succeed in life was inspired mostly by my upbringing. We were born in a peasant family in the slopes of Mount Kenya, a county known as Kirinyaga. Our family was poor, but I salute my Dad Mr. Jeremiah and my late Mum Mama Alice Jeremiah, may she rest in peace. Irrespective of the hardships of bringing three children without a formal job, they were reputed small scale farmers. They used to sell horticultural seedlings to earn a daily bread.  Many are the days we slept hungry when the seedlings couldn’t move. But, that never made us give up, instead it was a stepping stone to my strong faith and desire to succeed. During my younger years, my dad used to take me to Sacco meetings and cooperative forums where he would enroll for saving schemes and buying shares. The small sacrifices he made back then was part of what supported him take us to higher education. Success in life is coupled with a lot of sacrificing. Its not an overnight thing, its not magic, IT’S A JOURN...

Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future

  It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future You’re down, you’re tired, you’re hurting, you’ve somehow lost your way. You’ve given someone’s negative opinion of you far too much credit. You’ve let a failed relationship make you fearful of connecting again. You’ve allowed someone’s poor treatment of you to shift the way you see yourself. YOU HAVE TO STOP...... I know you’ve been through some sh*t. We all have. We all have our share of brokenness, discouragement, emptiness, and defeat. We’ve all lost people.  We’ve all been cheated on or left by someone we loved. We’ve all floundered in our faith or slipped somewhere on the path. We’ve all fought demons, illness, mental issues, and pain. We’ve all been let down, had enemies, or made enemies of ourselves. We’ve all had days when we question whether we have the strength to continue. This is not meant to take your problems and shove them to the side, make light of them, or diminish them in comparison to anyone else...
