The  worst thing that can happen to anyone after Hell fire is "wrong choice of a marriage partner or bad marriage"  

TOOLS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Every champion has a secret and the process of becoming a champion is equally built upon some principles. A few are what we will discuss in this chapter. IDENTIFY A PROBLEM YOU CAN SOLVE AND SOLVE IT frankly,  everyone in this world has a need of some sort. The solution to certain problems has been placed at our disposals. As For Jesus, He came to solve the problem of sin. Identify what needs you were born to meet and administer to them. CHAMPIONS ARE OBSERVERS farmers are good at observintage  seasons as they know how to key into seasons to harvest the right crops. For a minister, recognizing what group and culture he is to reach out to, are breakthrough keys for his kingdom harvest. The market place is surounded with right opportunities now for investment after careful findings. PROPER ORGANISATION OF THINGS The making of a champion requires alongside other principles, the principle of organisation, which enhances competence effectiveness and vision readiness....

THE EAGLE AND THE STORM.

1sam 3:4-6" 4" When the Lord called, Samuel! And he answered, Here I am. 5 He ran to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. Eli said, I did not call you; lie down again. So he went and lay down. 6 And the Lord called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, Here am I; you did call me. Eli answered, I did not call, my son; lie down again". It takes a mentor to know the procedures. Samuel ran to eli the priest without ascertaining the caller. Until there is a mentor you might keep running from bed to room  to  bed room.vs 7-8. When mentors fulfill their responsibilities, proteges will not find it difficult to fit into God's plan for their lives. Success without successor amount to pronounced failure.  Glooming people to succeed as exemplified by Jesus should be your utmost desire as a champion.

THE EAGLE AND THE STORM.

Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited(excitement in trouble because of insight).The eagle sees the storm’s wind as an opportunity to lift himself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles uses the raging storm to lift himself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees. As christians we can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably for It takes a test to produce a testimony. You will succeed in life.

FAMILY AFFAIRS

Right from creation, God has always desired a family that he would work with to build his kingdom on earth. So many families were put to the test for this purpose but they failed. In other words, God’s original plan and purpose for the family is one that he can fellowship with, commune with and be part of in full. However rights from Adam and Eve and other families that followed, God never found one. Even the very families that God loved who would have fitted into that mould fell apart along the way. The human angel dented God's idea of a perfect  family. In the end, God decided to identify Himself with imperfect people despite their foibles and weakness. The families of Abraham, isaac and Jacob had their challenges, shortcomings, imperfection like all other families on the face of earth. And in the end, God had to depend on imperfect people to run His perfect institution which is marriage. Marriage is one of God's most outstanding adventure. ............ God desires you...

THE ISSUE OF FRIENDSHIP

The English word for friendship is derived from "saxons freond" and translated, one loved or free. The long man dictionary of contemporary English defines friend as "someone who you know, like much and enjoy spending time with". Making a friend isn't a light issue  because it can either add or subtract from your life. To your admirers  and observers, your friend is a direct resemblance of your person.  Proverbs 13 : 20 says, Peer pressure can't be only traceable to youths, even adults are affected too, and the closest association in your life can determine  the direction you are going  to. A true friend is a source of joy and he is one who understands you even at your silent mode. Do your friends understand you? For your relationship to work it must be based on respect, mutual understanding, and identifying with one another.

You are not a victim

Jabez was a victim of his mother's ignorance.  His mother named him after her distressing experience at child birth. The name Jabez in Hebrew means pain, distress or a source of sorrow. His mother extended her sorrowful experience  into the life of her son. However, jabez refuse the limitation placed on him by his mother's ignorant action. In other words,  he did not want to live the rest of his life as a victim, but as a victory A good number of people today are like the mother of Jabez who are unaware that names are not just a combination of letters that produce sounds; neither are they mere words that remind people of an experience. A person's name serves as a vehicle of influence. Jabez understood the influence of the power of God over a person's name. That's why Jabez experienced a new lease in his life. He moved from the level of containment to enlargement. Regardless the circumstances it is important you believe that God will hear you. You carry the seed of  ...

1 Cor 12 : 4 - 11; Rom 12 : 4 - 16;Acts 1 : 8 Every beliver has the gift of the Holy spirit in him. The primary assignment of a beliver is to preach the gospel to win souls to Christ, to heal the sick, deliver those who are in bondage and break evil yokes.

CONFIDENCE

Confidence is one of the raw materials  in the factory of success. What or who you tie your confidence  on determines the height of your success. Do you tie your confidence on your political connections, parental background or your certificate ? These are all arms of the flesh which increases the woes of men should one be tempted to trust in any? (Jer 17 : 5) When your  confidence is in God you can't rush in life, looking unto God takes you up in life. In this new year, if you must achieve your goals and dreams then focus your confident in God. Remember that confident in man will limit your  destiny because  man is limited but having  confidence in God opens you to limitless dimensions of destiny explosion and recovery. Shout amen.

Lifestyle evangelism

Matt 5:13-17" 16Let your "light lifestyle" so shine before men that they may see your [z]moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and [aa]recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven" Lifestyle evangelism is an evangelism strategy that focuses on living a holy, winsome life among unbelievers with the goal of attracting people(them) to the message of Jesus Christ. Lifestyle evangelism has been popular since the 1990s, it enables a Christians or child of God an opportunity to share their faith through their lifestyle in addition to their verbal testimony.(it means beside your verbal preaching, your appearance an conducts also preaches). Statistics would prove that tracts, crusades, and media-based outreaches are good but not to be compared to" personal lifestyle evangelism"(an evangelism that says once i was a sinner but now saved ) Paul exhorted Timothy to “keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching” (...

Prayer

Prayer can be defined as the act of offering up of our desires with things agreeable to God through Christ. THE IDEAL MANNER/MODEL OF PRAYER A  = adoration C = confession T = thanksgiving S = supplication ADORATION From the prayer of christ in matt 6 : 9 - 10,it is  praising God, adoring, worshiping and reverencing God. This is to show our first point in prayer should be adoring God CONFESSION He went on to say forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, it implies that we have sinned in thought, deeds and words and praying for anything apart from forgiveness is a waste because Jesus  said in his word "the prayer of the sinner is an abomination to the ears of God" so we need to ask for mercy each time we pray THANKSGIVING we all know it is our daily duty to thank God  for every thing so thank God for both the unseen things he has done because even when christ heald the ten leaders he was delighted  that at least one came to say thank you, so I urge you to all ways thank ...

By chris effiong  No champion without scars Most renowned boxer have lost either their teeth  or  disfigured some part of their bodies all to be champions , champions like John l.sullivan 1882 -1892, Jesse will and 1915 - 1919, jack shared 1932 - 1933 and in the late 70's the WBA witnessed men like Michael shrinks, Muhammed Ali,  Michael dokes,  Mike Tyson,  evaders holy field and even our own Samuel Peters etc. The error of our modern time has been people criticizing anyone having challenging times especially in the body of christ. JOB ; A CHAMPION WITH SCARS  The books  of job majorly centers on job and his procession to championship.  It deals with profound human analysis. Let's think, why do Good people suffer or experience great challenges in life?
