BURN YOUR TENT....

WHAT IS HOLDING YOU.... 


One day, a man decided to travel by ship with his friends. While in the middle of their journey, the boat began to sink. Everyone tried to escape by swimming but it was all in vain.  All drowned except this man who succeeded in clinging to a floating object. With the effect of strong winds, the object took him very far, to a small island where there were no men or animals, just a few insects. With the sweat of his brow, he managed to build a small box entirely made of straw. 


He stayed there for several days eating fruits and began to get used to his new life of suffering  (even if he did not get used to it). He eventually began to lose all hope of seeing his family again any day.

Every night he lit a fire in front of his house to warm himself. One evening, as usual, he lit the fire. He stayed there for a long time until he dozed off. Late in the night, he was awakened by an overwhelming heat: It was his straw hut that caught fire. He cried, accusing and blaming God, shouting, "Oh God, what have I done to you to hurt me so? You separated me from my family to bring me to this deserted island, then you killed all my friends and now you let my hut burn. Why are you so hard on me? It is better to die because I am tired of living in this suffering!"

But at dawn, he saw a small boat coming towards him. When the boat landed, he ran straight for the captain and said to him in astonishment, "Captain, how did you get here?" No boat can get there unless he gets lost. " The captain replied, "In the night we saw a fire and we thought it was a burning boat, and  we did not arrive immediately  because the journey was long. We thought that you used the fire in order for us to find you. "The man cried, fell on his knees and asked God for forgiveness, and he got into the boat and went home and reunited with his family.


LESSON: God has many ways of solving our problems. You can lose a job and think that God has left you when He wants to give you a better job. Your friends can leave you but God will always be present. Your family too can leave you but he God sees a Judas before you do.

    Wow this is so encouraging. Things may be crumbling down and there seems to be no hope, but I won't give up on myself nor give up on the plan that God has for me, because He knows best. Thank you James for this. The best read for today. God bless you.

GET RICH, GET WEALTHY, ITS NOT A SIN. THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

  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...
