The gist of the day........................

SUCCESS IS NOT HAVING IT ALL

Leo Tolstoy tels tells the story of a rich man who always wanted more. One day he heard that for a thousand rubles he could have all the land he was able to walk around in a single day, as long as he returned to the starting point by sundown. If not, he would forfeit it all.

So the man rose early and set out. He kept pushing himself to go further and further. Suddenly he realized if was mid-afternoon and he would have to travel very fast if he were return in time to claim land. As the sun got lower in the sky, he began run. Coming within sight of his starting point, he exerted his last ounce of energy, plunged over the finish line, collapsed and died.

The title of this story is "How much does man need?"
Tolstoy concluded the story by saying " Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed".

You do not get more by what you keep but by what you use and give.

You cannot get it all or keep it all. Success is not having it all!

To reach the port of Success we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but we must sail, not drift/lie at the anchor. -Olivier Wendell Holmes.

I think the story above has clarified/convinced you that success is not having it all. If that is true with you, I expect you ask this question in your heart; What is Success?

Success is knowing; You cannot have it all ,you only have it for all. -Oluwatobi Oshunbiyi.

Yes, You cannot have it all. But the little in your hands is for all.
The man in Leo Tolstoy's story could not get it all, but he had a thousand rubles for all. The thousand rubles was what would have been counted to him success if used for all, his failure in doing so made him learn it the hard way.

How??

He had all the land = 1000 rubles,
He didn't have all the land, but he bought it for all because all he got was six feet of the whole land.

Leo Tolstoy might not have finished the story concentrating on what happened after, but the truth is the rest of the land was for all. Probably, you are living on some portion of that land today...... smiling.

Do not forget; Success is not having it all but having it for all.
How do you use the little in your hands?
Do you affect the lives around you?

THE 7 DISPENSATIONS IN THE BIBLE

Dispensationalism is a method of interpreting history that divides God’s work and purposes toward mankind into different periods of time. Usually, there are seven dispensations identified, although some theologians believe there are nine. Others count as few as three or as many as thirty-seven dispensations. In this article, we will limit ourselves to the seven basic dispensations found in scripture.

THE SECRET PLACE

In the Old Testament, the “Secret place” comes from the Hebrew root word “ Cether ”, which means to hide/be concealed. And really, no matter is hidden or concealed in a place or thing if it wasn’t the fragment of their make up. What then is the secret place? Psalm 139:15(NIV) – my frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.

DISCERNING THE MOVE OF GOD

Acts 2:17 [17]And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams God wants to move again and He needs a lot of vessels. God is not trying to repeat the same thing. He does not fail so He does not repeat. He only uses a familiar operation; a familiar move to men to progress the birth of The revival. Christianity(The Sphere of Religion) cannot export and empty itself into other spheres of influence, Men have to be exported into these spheres and the only way men will be exported is when we discern what God is trying to do and position ourselves for these moves. Our generation has to understand the synchronization between the Cyclical and the Acyclical move of God. We need to understand how these dimensions sync into each other to birth the revival.

THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD

THE REVIVAL AND THE MOVES OF GOD

Genesis 2:4-6 [4]These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, [5]And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. [6]But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. God had not caused it to rain upon the earth because there was no man. God is helpless without a man and will never be able to send down His rain(move) on earth without a man. Thus, there are two elements that makes up the move of God: 1. A man 2. Territories What is the Move of God? The move of God is God moving men through roles in His agenda which births events called Revivals. A revelation of Alignment! Kingdom advancement is territorial and not just personal. The value system of the kingdom must translate from you and
