THE COVENANT OF LIFE

Good morning dear reader, how has the week been?  Before we get into the weekend mood I want to quickly share this with you. I want to take time out to thank every participant of our 2016 December Conference (TIAG 1.0) . You guys are the best and I trust you can boldly say it was worth the time invested right? In case you missed this maiden event or will like to keep its memory fresh, you can download(with chrome preferably) the audio version of each sections here.  We could not get the event covered fully because our media department refused to miss out of the move of the Holy-spirit. But here you have a glimpse of the Impartation section. To watch click here. Want to see some Pictures too? Click here.   This week is definitely one grand week for us as Covenant of Life because as an Institution and Ministry we clocked One year - December 07 while this arm of operation called CL Blogs will be one year old on the 15th of December . If we have in any way blesse

SUCCESS IS NOT MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO We have discussed for and forth and we agreed at a conclusion: Success is not reaching a goal neither is success having it all, we agreed success is life. Before I proceed into the topic of the day, I want to quickly do this:

Success is not reaching a goal Motivational speaker and Minister Bob Harrison says; “ Setting goals is the most dangerous thing any person can do” Why?

Good day dear friend, I have come again with as series of post entitled: What Success is not .  It promises to deliver three sub titles; I. Success is not having it all                                                         II. Success is not reaching a goal                                                        III. Success is not maintaining the status Quo It promises to be great, please be on the blog for other parts on a weekly basis.

There is no doubt you must have been associating the state of having much in your hands as the richness of wealth/riches/finance etc.   The state where you have so much in your hands that you do not seem to have a want/lack anymore, you have all your needs covered - you know what I am talking about? But in the real sense of life does that exist?

Have you ever been in that position where what is in your hands doesn't seem enough?  When the little in your hands cannot make it work as you still feel like there is not enough in your life and nothing in your hands and yet you see some persons  with little in their hands. I will like you relax as I take you  through  the little in your hands you are not seeing save you utilizing.

Ever heard anyone say this in your ears? .......  I have nothing in my hands, nothing in my Store,   nothing in my account, no start up capital..... I have nothing, nothing!  And of a truth you will discover too that there is nothing in their hands as you have been told because there is no po inter to anything in their hands that there is anything in their life. Life has taught me per time that people live what they feel of their selves.

The last post we had on the expository section was the series of post about the centurion with the topic: How do you amaze Jesus?  where I discussed faith. You can get the  collapsed  mini e-book by clicking the topic or here. I defined Faith as the reconciliation of what is in your hands and what you want from the Lord. For an expository or eye opener on what you want from the Lord, you can read up this related post:  What ask thou? It will deal with a part of your questions.

Faith: Using what you have to get what you want. That’s just my definition of faith from the above sub-title. How do you use the little in your hands? We discussed in the last post how the captain humbly told Jesus in verse 8b:‘ but speak the word and my servant shall be healed’ - that was purely faith. Authority in humility! The Centurion was a man under authority as rightly said in verse 9; He operated authority so he knew what authority was like. He said further: ‘I say to this man, Go and he goeth; and to another, Come and he cometh, and to my Servant Do this and he doeth it .

LEARNING Learning (Word web Dictionary): The cognitive process of acquiring skill/knowledge. For the purpose of this study, I’ll be working with the definition above.

Humility I proposed ending this write - up on the second part but the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to something invaluable - Humility! I will be sharing with you how I discovered Humility as the third step through which the Centurion amazed Jesus. I earlier defined a Centurion as the leader of hundred soldiers (warriors) in ancient Rome. That means a Centurion is a man of authority! For 'I am a man of authority' would have been the word used by the scripture writers if it was this age but the scriptures in Matthew8:9:  ‘For I am a man under authority’ this was my first discovery of his humility.

ACCOUNTABILITY Word web defined Accountability: Responsibility to someone or some activity. I want to believe some Accountants will be reading through this piece and I hope I will not find myself in some accounting troubles (Smiling)…. All I ask is that God uses this piece to bless you. For the purpose of this study, I’ll be adopting the dictionary definition of Accountability: Responsibility for some Activity.

EVALUATION FOR EVERY DEAL. Evaluation: the act of ascertaining/ fixing the value or worth of. There is a piece that says : ‘you don’t know the value of what you have been missing till it comes’ and ‘you do not know the value of what you have till its lost’ – Evaluation!

The Man Centurion Said it to Jesus Verse 6: And Saying, Lord, My Servant lieth at home sick of palsy, grievously tormented. How do you report your problems to Jesus? There are two ways of reporting issues to Jesus as i discovered:  (a) To say i.e. Explain and (b)Complain I have come to discover how you report your problems/challenges/situations describes who Jesus is to you.

                                                         MONITORING. Monitoring (according to word-web dictionary): the act of observing something and sometimes keeping a record of it. To observe is: Quick to notice; showing quick and keen perception I will like to start by saying : ‘Every information is a product of observation’ and that means when we fail to observe we fail to be informed - and definitely we become deformed.- Monitoring!

Today we want to scripturally study a man who did amaze Jesus. To amaze  someone is to fill the person with wonder/astonishment; greatly surprise. You can bet it will be such great things that will amaze Jesus right? Yes it should be. Someone amazed Jesus and it brought about his miracle.  In every day and aspects of our life, we also amaze Jesus but there’s always the others side of a coin. Let’s study:

  If you will take your time to review our Monday Digest (MD), you’ll agree with me this topic was coined from a quote under a blog post: Strength in the Swot analysis here on CL Blogs. This quote cum topic is aimed at making you realize that even when there are no opportunities around you, you create one. Can you relate that?

  As if we would no longer get to the last of the SWOT analysis but here we are today threats! Threats (wordweb): something that is a source of danger SWOT analysis itself described Threat: elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the business/project. As an individual, I hope by now you must have come to discover you are the business/project I have been talking about for some weeks back now? The business/project is got threats, yes! You have got threats!! I will like to scripturally spiri-analyse this term Threat.   Here I go.............

I know you will be asking this question probably to yourself: Do you identify opportunities before you define them? Today i am publishing this piece just to create in you the consciousness of the awareness of the fact that; You identify opportunities before you define them.

I should have rounded up the sub-topic: Opportunities but I am getting more than I can pen down which I believe is for you. Favorable conditions abound I discussed with you last week for those who love God(their Strength) and those who operate in their calling (business wise) but these words alone cannot help identify opportunities when they come! How will i identify/recognize Opportunities?

Many weeks back we discussed the first part of this topic; Its never worth a Lie! Today I'll be resuming back at the topic after my long unwilling break.... I am happy to have you back and I must confess I missed you a lot especially those loving comments and discussions of yours that follow each post. The scripture we had a pause on was Genesis  26.

Good Morning Monday Digest readers, I really missed you, Situations beyond my control kept me distance away from you. We have been dwelling on the SWOT series for some weeks back and we have been discussing some topics related to our business and career life. We discussed Strength and Weaknesses which are Internal factors and  today we'll be returning to our business as we look into the external factors as once explained. External factors: the opportunities and threats presented by the environment external to you, your business/organization and career.

Good day blog family, I welcome you to this week's biblical exposition. Today's blogspot will solely be an interpretation of a passage in the scriptures and over here I'm using the KJV. Genesis 26:1-14.

Good morning CL Blogs and Monday Digest(MD) readers and Happy Easter. Last week we discussed Strength and I talked exclusively touching areas i could touch pointing out the spiri-financial side of you- Strength!! Today we'll consider the Topic Weaknesses and I pray it blesses you.. I hope to keep this short. Weaknesses ( wordweb dictionary ): ( a ) A flaw / weak point ( b ) Powerlessness revealed by an inability to act ( c ) The property of lacking physical / mental strength . ( d ) The condition of being financially weak ( e ) A penchant for Something even though it might not be good for you . SWOT defined weaknesses as : characteristics that place the business / project / personality at a disadvantage relative to others. Let me keep up with my clarifications here: weaknesses do not mean the same as bad attitudes. ' Attitude is everything and when the attitude is bad ; everything is bad' . 

For the purpose of this study, I will be dealing with the internal factors first as when the Internal is settled the external is also. The Internal factor comprises: the Strength and Weaknesses internal to the business/ project/ personality. Today we'll be discussing Strength!! Strength - Wordweb dictionary has series of meanings for the word Strength but I got interested in just two out of the six meanings for the purpose of this study. (a) The property of being physically/ mentally strong (b) The condition of financial success.

Whose report will you believe? ISAIAH53:1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers (Psalms 1:1 NIV) The counsel Instructions given by God comes with blessing for those that diligently follow them/obey (Zechariah 6:15) and curses for those that do the opposite (Deuteronomy 11:28). Today’s Christians must be vigilant to know that the world has a counsel, a way and a seat or gathering.

Before I proceed with the write up for the day I will like to share a short story with you, it's an incredible story of forgiveness after a rape, and of choosing life for a child that was born out of violence.

Good morning Monday digest readers and happy new week. This week we'll be going into a series that will last some weeks and I promise you it'll be loaded and Interesting. I have decided to write on a very popular topic SWOT and I know if I am just to discuss SWOT a lot of you have read different articles on it but I have come to give you something different: The Spiri -Financial Analysis ! Today we'll be taking some introduction and next week we'll kick off on what we've got for you.

Good morning blog family, how have you been? Been away unintentionally... couldn't make this week's Monday's Digest but thank God I'm back. Last week we started the discussion on Give and Live where we discussed how to give it to God in prayers. Today without wasting time I'll be rounding this post up.

Good morning blog family. How has been the week?  Happy New month from CL BLogs- We proudly say it's a month of Abundance in Jesus Name.

Happy new week blog readers, today I'll be rounding up on our discussion on 'why many don't have lasting success'. W eeks ago I discussed with you some factors that forbids lastin success; Your Comfort zone , unfaithfulness and today I'll be bringing this series to an end with this major sub-topic: The God factor.

Good evening blog readers, how has been your day?? Today I want to discuss the final part of the series we have been discussing- Know more! If you missed yesterday's edition on what do you know, read here . How much you know the truth defines your degree of freedom. - Freedom in all ramifications of life; spiritually, financially, mentally, emotionally to mention but a few. Let me just use this as a spiritual proof of what we have been discussing, do well to read along with me.

Good evening blog readers, today I'm bringing to you the second part of the topic we discussing: How much do you know? . We will be furthering in the discussion as we study a new topic entirely what do you know?? Yesterday, we talked about improving on what we know and knowing more. Today we want to talk about what do you know that you really want to know more on. The topic we are discussing on is seeming incomplete without mentioning on what we really need to know. How much do you know what you know ?

After an hectic day, I decided I must drop this piece of biblical expository. We'll be taking the post-  Know More in parts and I want you to please follow it up on the blog as I start with the introductory. PART I- INTRODUCTION. And ye shall know the truth and it shall make you free - John 8:32 How much do you know? This is a question for us all; a call to know more because ' you know more to grow more' .

Why many don't have lasting success ? Happy new week blog readers, welcome to this week's edition of Monday's Digest. Last week we discussed the first reason why many don't have lasting success- Comfort Zone . If you missed it you can get here . Today we'll be talking on the second reason why many don't have lasting success and that is: UNFAITHFULNESS .

Good day blog readers, how has the week been?? I have with me a random post I want to share with you and it's all about a soccer match I played on my Android device- Winning Eleven 2012. I do play this game in the tiresome times, and I mostly play the super-cup challenge(Master League) specifically. Everyone around me know I love soccer games. This fateful day as usual I picked up my device after a stress filled day ran the application and was about to start the game with my favourite team Arsenal.

Everyone of us have people in our lives, people we cherish so much, people we depend and rely so much on, the ones we love and can't imagine our lives without. Beautiful! We have them in clans as we have thoroughly placed/ grouped them. We call some our family members, family-friends, friends, lovers, brethren etc. All of these ones makes our lives worth it. ' Awesome people in my life I'm seeing right now , trying to skip some faces and persons ( Smiling )'.

Good p.m blog family? How has been your day?? Had a great and tiresome day over here, but out of no time I carefully selected this write-up by a Man of God and carefully develop it as a Child of God.. I hope that made you smile?? Solitude : A state of Social isolation and The state or situation of being alone . Practicing the act of Solitude is not something many Christians are familiar with. However, it is as old as our Christian faith itself and it is a necessity for any Christian who craves a successful walk with God, and the fulfillment of His purpose here on earth.

Good day blog family and Happy new month.... For everyone identifying with CL Blogs it's a month of Gifts! Mark the word: Gifts!! Today we are making our debut post on TEL which is strictly powered by CL Blogs.

Good day friends, I have been naming the topics for this year 'things you need in 2016' and this topic is not going to be an exception. I want to over-emphasis the topic so I'm starting off with the blog title: Power ! Going trough the definitions of power via word-web offline dictionary, I came across ten different meaning and I have carefully selected three meanings to work with for the purpose of this post. Below I highlight the meanings: 1. Possession of controlling influence 2. (Physics) the rate of doing work 3. Physical Strength I will be explaining power in this three dimensions and i pray it blesses you.

( C ) DOMINION Good morning friends, how has the week been? I am here today with the concluding outline of 'knowing yourself'. Dominion- Dominance or Power through legal authority . For this week I will be writing on dominance and power, taking power on a new blog post entirely. I pray this piece blesses you.

Yesterday we went through the scriptures and with the help of the Holy-spirit we were able to discover how we are God's image and the responsibility begin His image dawns on us. Today I will be going into the second outline of Knowing yourself and I pray this blesses you more. B . You are after His likeness :

1 John  4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Yesterday we discussed about Knowing Him and I bless God on how he helped us understand Him the more and how far He has helped us interpret His words. Genesis  1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. I want to outline this topic into 3: (a) You are in the image of God (b) You are after His likeness (c) You have dominion.

It's been some days I posted not because I didn't want to post nor because there was nothing to post but I was waiting on Him on what to share with you. In the next few days, i will be discussing with you some cogent points the Holy spirit has laid on my mind for you in the year 2016. KNOW HIM .

Good day friend, I got this topic on the 31st of December, 2015 at exactly 11:23a.m and I intended publishing it on the first days of the year but I was not opportuned to do so.  I strongly believe it's for a reason and at this very minute, hour and day it will bless your soul. What ask thou ? Matthew  7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: John  16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Good day friends, how has the New Year been? Trust you have started well?? It’s the second day of the month, January is really reading and so is 2016. Pray you the best of it all in Jesus name. I will not want to bore you early enough this year with a long post, so I will be talking briefly on giving.  To all my friends out there I will be giving just three nuggets and I hope you read this early   enough so as to either improve your life of giving or help you begin one.
