Awakening the Sleeping Giant, Awakening the Hero in You By Teboho Masakala©

v Believe in yourself and have self confidence in Christ: because Christ alone will lift you to greater heights.

v Avoid Negative Mind-set:  negative mind-set will lead you to viewing life negatively and all you do will fail because you would have programmed your mind negatively and all things will look difficult, get rid of the negative mind-set, rid all negative people who think negatively also.

v Be positive at all times:  the will be area’s in your life where you will need hope, where things will seem difficult and you must stay positive, even in situations where it seems hard, never cease to stay positive. You will succeed as you will see life in a positive way.

v Surround yourself with positive people:  if the friends you hang around with never encourage you or doesn’t have same goal and dreams as you, please leave them and get out from them, the is nothing positive about them. When you surround yourself with positive people, they will help you reach your goal as you will be on the same level and thus the hunger to succeed will increase also, goals, dreams, future plans will be achieved as they will pick you up and guide you to your goals and dreams.

v Have goals and dream:  if you living life without goals and dreams you are just wasting your time, dreams are the reason we go to work every day, school, universities, colleges and working hard to achieve something, a life without goals and dreams is a wasted life without direction.

v Set a motto that will enable you to reach your goals:  it is funny sometimes how people choose their mottos; some don’t even apply to their goals and dreams. It is very vital you set a motto that will help you achieve your dreams, for e.g. (example) if you say “where the is a will the is a way” use it to reach your dreams when you see as if everything is about to fall apart, use it to find some chance or something that will lift you up and enable you to achieve your dreams.

v Never hold on to the past:  our life is often delayed because we cry too much about what we lost, the past will hinder you from progressing forward, you will be stuck in all those things that brought you tears. You must learn to let go of the past, every day is a new day with blessings. The past will hold you from progressing forward. Accept that what happened in the past stays there and cannot affect your future.

v Pray at all times:  without prayer nothing happens, in order for you to achieve your dreams and goals you need to put God in everything you do and in your life and all you want to achieve will be possible, without prayer we are nothing.

v Listen to what God says: often we care so much about what people say about us, they say we ugly, poor, rich, boring, big headed and call us with every name they find, we worry so much because of what they say. We should stop listening to what people say about us and start thinking about what God says about us.

 God loves us, He cares for us and has a plan for our lives, to make us prosper and therefore what people say about us doesn’t matter at all but what God thinks about us is important and we should not mind what people say about us because we were not created by people.

v Never Give up, Keep trying:  never give up on your dream the is no such thing as failure as you always get another chance to reach your dreams. Never give up keep trying, failure is not an option.

v You alone hold the key to your Future:  The ball is in your court; you alone can make or break your dreams and goals.

v Make God the Centre of your life: To succeed in everything, you need to make God the centre of your life, tell God your dreams and goals, he will make them come true, invite him in all you do, if your plans ,goals, dreams doesn’t have God as the centre of it, they will fail. Make God the ultimate centre of your life, goals and dreams.  To God be The Glory

Street kids, God will Never forsake You

They have no shelter, they have no home or roof to lay their heads under, they don’t know the warmth of a family, the love of a mother, father, sister and how good it feels to be united as one family.

Everyday they move from one place to another in search of food and shelter, when it is cold, the only thing they have to keep them warm is glue and boxes which they use to make fire and warm themselves.

God has seen you the street kids, God has seen you how you scattered all over the place looking for food, a place to sleep and the distress you find yourself under, while people might be looking at you undermining you and saying all kinds of things about you because of your situation just do not despair as God Almighty knows what you going through.

God loves all of us, all of us are His wonderful creation, no matter the situation we find ourselves in, God will never leave us as He loves us. You who people call and see you as a street kid, know that God loves you, you won’t be in the situation you are in forever, God Almighty will open ways for you to get help.

God saw how much Israel was suffering under Pharaoh king of Egypt, He saw how oppressed they were and how ill treated they were by Pharaoh, they were made slaves, God Almighty didn’t turn a blind eye to this because He knows how it was affecting His nation, once and for all, God decided it was time to put an end once and for all to the suffering of His nation under Pharaoh’s rule.

God sent Moses to free His nation, even though Pharaoh hardened his heart, he finally let Israel go, and he even chased after them but was swallowed by the sea.

God also just like he sent Moses, will take you out of the street, a time is coming when you will never be called a street kid, just like Gospel Singer Sechaba Padi who was a street kid and God transformed him and today, he is a famous gospel singer in South Africa and respected, God also has a plan for your life and all of us, no matter how bad we might be looked by the world, God has a purpose for our lives.

What you going through today as a street kid is not meant to last forever but will pass, Job situation didn’t last forever and he was blessed by God who was with him all along.

You who they call street kid, know that God is with you, he is seeing you, when you scavenge for food in dustbins, going from one place to another searching for food and sitting in a corner when its cold and raining.

 God will never forsake you, one day you going to come out of the situation you are in, one day you will be a testimony to the world bringing Glory and Praise to God Almighty.

God didn’t forsake Israel when they were ill treated in Egypt, no He didn’t ignore them and won’t ignore you too, and your day of Happiness will come.

ASK GOD THROUGH PRAYER

When we pray, we talk with God Almighty, we communicate and have an intimate session, moment or time with Him, we tell Him all what troubles us and what we want God to do for us, when we pray, we pour our hearts out to Him.

God see how we pray, He sees and knows how we pray, what we pray for and how important it is that we ask Him, when we ask God for something, He knows how important is what we ask Him, how life changing it will be, the people who will benefit from that prayer, the Glory it will bring to Him, God looks into the heart of the person praying and asking from Him, He looks deep into it and can see if we are happy, heart broken or sad when we pray.

We always ask, seek and try to get what we want from people while God is waiting for us to ask and He is more than ready to provide, unlike people who will be calling us names saying we ask too much and cant stop asking, but with God is not like that as He is our father and is waiting for us to ask (Matthew 7:7-11), He is more than ready and waiting for us to ask what we want from Him through prayer. Child of God what are you waiting for?

The blind man of Jericho went to Jesus, he was blind and did not have any vision to his eyes, He asked Jesus to cure him so that he could be able to see, Jesus asked him “What would you like me to do for you?” he replied and told Jesus he wanted to see again, God is waiting for you to ask, waiting for you patiently and asking “What would you like me to do for you? What is it that you would like God to do for you?.

Before you even kneel down and prayer, God has already answered your prayer, God has already gave you what you want before you even utter a word as He can see your heart, future and destiny, He is omnipotent and all is laid bare before him.

Let us never be shy to pray or ask God for help or what we want, where can we run to if it is not God? Where can we get comfort if it’s not God? Why do we cry when God is ready to wipe away our tears.

 Gold Mighty is an awesome God, a flawless Father who loves His children so much and a jealous God who wants us all for Himself.

GOD’S LOVE FOR US

A mothers love is the perfect example for us to see how much God loves us, a mother makes sure their child/children are clothed, protected, happy and well fed, if a child cry a mother wipes off the tears, the same with God Almighty, God wipes our tears when we cry, He clothes us, feed us and makes sure we are protected, the love God has for us is amazing and the devil wants us not to see that.

From day one when we were born, God Almighty has been there with us, loving us, caring, and wiping our tears gently off our faces, even though our parents might had passed difficult situations, God gave them strength for our sakes as a sign that He is with us, loves us. God always offers us protection, that’s why when we face difficult situations we always win because the protection God offers us is mightier that a sword.

God is always with us even when we are sad, He is wiping our tears everyday off our eyes, He is our Father, He cares and loves us so much and it pains Him to see us sad because He created us in His own image, He knows our feelings when we are hurt, when tears rolls down our cheeks that affects Him because we are His creation and as our Father, God wants us always to be happy, just as a mother wants to see her child happy.

Often we think God does not love us, we think He is far from us, that’s not true, every hour, day, minute and second, God is there!! We should not let the devil play tricks with our minds; God Almighty is the most perfect Father we can run to for protection and love. A mother gets sad when her child is sad and when things are not well for her child, same as GOD!

Just like we love our parents and mothers, we should love God with all our hearts as God loves us more than our parents, the love God has for is so great, no matter what you might go through, through it all, the greatest parent and Father, God Almighty will never leave nor abandon you, no mother will abandon her child because that’s her creation and image, God will never abandon us, we are His creation and image, God our Father loves us.

If you want to see how big and marvellous the love of God is, look at a mothers love for her child, that is the way God Almighty Loves us and even more, never doubt God’s love for you. To God be The Glory

REMEMBER THE LORD YOUR GOD IN THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH.

As a young person, it is important that you spend your youth days wisely serving God and using your youth to spread the word of God, today the youth indulge in a lot of bad things and later in their lives they going to regret, the bible tells us to remember God during the days of our youth (Ecclesiastes 12 1-7).

Remember the Lord your God in the days of your youth, as a young person, don’t be fascinated by all these perishing materialistic things of this world, they entice us as young people so much that we forget about God as young people and as we grow up, later in life we are going to regret for not remembering God during the days of our youth.

Many aged people who found God Almighty as old people regret why they didn’t find God during the days of their youth and wish they could go back and serve God while they had the youthly energy, but because of their age, they cant fully because some have really aged and wish if only they could turn back the hands of time.

As a young person and a youth, use your time to serve God, worship Him, remember Him as a young person so that when you are no longer a youth, you can glance back with happiness, joy and great pleasure knowing you have served God faithfully!! Some of our youth have ended up in graves in the name and search for fun, some are buried every week and God Almighty doesn’t want that! As a youth do not be enticed by this world.

Do not be enticed by sweet things of this world as the end to all of it all wont be good to you, use your youth wisely, serving God, being in the shadow of His wing, spend time on the bible, tell people about God as a young person, do not be even ashamed when other young people says all kinds of bad things or accuse you saying you trying to be Holier than Thou, know that God Almighty, your God is with you and as a youth, He is very ecstatic that you are remembering Him in the days of your youth.

As a youth, listen to your parents when they advice you to live for God and give your life to Christ because after you give your life to Christ as a young person, God will protect you, anoint you and bless you and no weapon formed against you shall prosper, remember the Lord Your God during the days of your youth.

STOP COMPLAINING AND START THANKING GOD

We live a world full of complains, we complain about almost everything, let us stop worrying and complaining and start appreciating what God has blessed us with, God has given life to us and want us to stop complaining and start appreciating all He has done for us.

Thank God for the life He gave you as some has lost it in accidents, murders, sicknesses and are in graves and wished they were alive, thank God for giving you food and stop complaining about the little food you get as some don’t have anything to eat and would be happy even to get two slices of bread as they don’t know where their lunch, breakfast and supper would come from.

Stop worrying about wearing cheap shoes as there are many who don’t have them and walk barefoot everyday and during winter, it is a struggle as the cold penetrates through their feet up to the whole body and they would love to have those shoes you call cheap. Stop complaining and start thanking God for giving you your parents as the are a lot of children who don’t have parents as some were killed, sick and some lying in hospitals, while others wish their parents were with them to comfort them during hardships of life, others never felt the love of their parents.

Stop complain about the work you do or the little money you earning and thank God for giving you a job as there are a lot of unemployed people who would appreciate the little money you complain about and work you do just to put bread on the table, feed their children and take them to school, they would use the opportunity fully if given a chance, yes the very thing you complain about they would use it to change their lives and better it.

Stop complaining about how hard school is or how many times you failed at school as the are those who never went to school and don’t know the smell of chalk or the size of a school chair or the feeling of being taught, some grew up in farms and were disadvantaged because of their situations they previously faced.

Stop complaining about the hardships you are facing and thank God that He is with you in the hardship you are in and preparing you for something big that will bring glory to Him and make it a spiritual eye opener to you so that you can praise God. Stop complaining and start praising God. To God be the Glory.

Faith

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see, this is what the ancients were commanded for, by faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that  what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice that Cain did, by faith he was commended as a righteous man when God spoke well of his offerings and by faith he still speaks even though he is death. By faith Enoch was taken from this life so that he did not experience death, he could not be found because God had taken him away for before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. By faith Noah when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family , by his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

By faith Abraham when called to go to a place he would  later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went even though he did not know where he was going, by faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country, he lived in tents as did Isaac and Jacob who were heirs with him of the same promise for he was looking forward to the city with foundations whose architect and builder was God.

Never lose faith, it is impossible to please God Almighty without it, Jesus believed in God and preached about faith, believe in God with out doubting anything and He is faithful all the time, God is able to do just what He said he will do, He is going to fulfil any promise to you, don’t give up on God because he wont give up on you. God is faithful so have faith in God. To God be The Glory.

Be Holy

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be se-controlled, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus is revealed, as obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance but just as He who called you is holy, be holy in all you do for it is written: be holy because I am holy.

Since  you call on a Father who judges each man’s work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear for you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect, He was chosen before the creation of the world but was revealed in these last times for your sake, through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and glorified him so your faith and hope are in God.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply from the heart for you have been born again not of perishable seed but of imperishable through the living and enduring word of God for all men are like grass and all their glory is like the flowers of the field, the grass withers and the flowers fall but the word of the Lord stands forever and this is the word that was preached to you.

Therefore rid yourself of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander of every kind, like new born babies, crave pure spiritual milk so that by it you may grow up in your salvation now that you tasted that the lord is good. To God be the Glory

PRAY AT ALL TIMES

The situations that we tend to find ourselves on should not let us down, we need to know that through it all and all times we need to pray, when we wake up in the morning, the first thing we need to do is to close our eyes and thank God for blessing us with the opportunity to see another day.

We use transport to get us to work, whether be it our cars or public transport, upon our destination, we need to thank God for keeping us safe along the way, for preventing possible accidents that could have happened without our knowledge, we need to pray at all times. Yes even you who has been looking for a job for so long now must never give up on praying, yes you should continue praying and God is faithful and will never let you down.

When you happy or sad pray, pray at all times and not when you happy only, even when you see that you are about to face death in the eye, you need to pray, prayer keeps us alive, there are those who are in hospitals who cannot pray for themselves and needs us to pray for them, if we cease praying for them, their lives might be affected as our prayers are keeping them alive, even us who are alive and healthy, the are some people out there praying for our well being, praying for us to be alive and not to be harmed, why cant we do the same and pray also for those who needs us?.

When life seems hard for you or you don’t see a point of being alive, you need not despair, pray!! Prayer is communicating and talking to God Almighty, no matter the persecutions we pass or the hatred we face, we must not stop praying, during the lunch hour time at work you need to use it to thank God for keeping you safe until that far as we don’t know how the day will unfolds but God knows that, the gift of life is a very beautiful gift and we need to show God Almighty we appreciate it by thanking Him through prayer all the time.

Without prayer we are nothing, the Holy Survivors gospel group has a song named o mamele thapelo (listen to prayer). God is waiting to hear our prayers and answer them. To God Be The Glory.

MAKE TIME TO READ THE BIBLE

The Bible is a holy book containing the word of God, it is Holy, through the Bible we get help, when we are down, sad or facing hardships, we know where we ca run to, it is important that you child of God spent time on the word of God.

The word of God has an answer to all our problems, it is vital that we know the scriptures, we can defeat the devil through the knowledge of the bible, when tempting Jesus Christ, the devil quoted from the bible and told Jesus to throw Himself down as it is written that He will command his Angels concerning Jesus and they will lift Him up in their hands so that no foot of Jesus will strike a stone (Matthew 4:6-7). This shows the devil knows the Bible and if we know it, we can defeat him as Jesus replied back and said to Him “It is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test”.

It very important we give ourselves time to study the word of God, meditate upon it and know it by heart, we spend so much time on our cellphones but not with the Bible!!, let us make the Bible our friend, it powerful, it rebukes, correct and gives life. Let us fill our minds with the knowledge of scripture.

We often fill our minds with things that brings us stress, depression and worry and in the end we up sick while with the word of God, we are empowered and can stand up to the devil and answer using the scripture. God is faithful to His word. The word of God is the helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17).

The Bible teaches us how to conduct ourselves, live holy clean lives and to obey God at all times, if we don’t have the knowledge of the scriptures (the Bible) we will be tossed by everything and wont know how to defend ourselves.

Give yourself time and read the Bible, it is the holy book of God, it is our comforter when we cry, it has everything we need and an answers to our lives. To God be the Glory

Doing what is Good

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceful and considerate and to show true humility towards all men. At one time we were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures, we lived in malice and envy being hated and hating another one, but when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared he saved us not because of righteous things we have done but because of his mercy.

He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Saviour so that having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trust worthy saying and I want you to stress these things so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good, these things are excellent and profitable for everyone but avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments and quarrels about the law because these are unprofitable and useless.

Warn a divisive person once and then warn him a second time and after that have nothing to do with him, you may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful, he is self-condemned. Our people must learn to do what is good in order that they may provide for daily necessities and do not live un-productive lives. Titus chapter 3,1-11 and 14. To God be The Glory.

FREEDOM IN CHRIST

On Friday 27 April 2012, South Africa celebrated freedom day, Christ died for us so that we can also be free, He laid down his precious life so that we can be free, we used to be called gentiles and didn’t even know God, we were living our life the way it pleases us being slaves to sin and immorality, but the precious blood of Jesus Christ shed for us broke that barrier and set us free, we are now free from sin and have the promise of an eternal life Jesus gave us.

Jesus freed people from demonic possessions, he freed a woman caught in adultery, true freedom is found in Christ, when Christ frees you, you are free indeed!! The freedom that is in Christ brings happiness, joy and peace. We used to be ignorant, we didn’t even acknowledge God for all the good things He has done for us, but He freed us from ignorance and opened our eyes, God sent His wonderful Son Jesus Christ so that we can have life, He sent him to make us free.

We should not fear demons, evil spirits and the devil as they have no power over our lives and Jesus freed us and still frees those who are captives of evil spirits, even today Jesus still frees God’s people as the freedom found in Jesus is everlasting, God used Moses to free the Israelites from Pharaoh’s iron rule in Egypt, he took them out after see their suffering as He didn’t want His children to suffer, He sent Moses to free them as He knows the importance of freedom.

No matter what you may go through, God will free you, whatever problem you may face God will free you from it, sickness, debt, marriage or anything worrying you, God will free you from it, true freedom is not found in friends, families or the work we do but it is found in Christ, allow God to free you because he who the Son of God set free is free indeed, true freedom is found in Christ. To God be the Glory.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD AT ALL TIMES

When life seems difficult we want to give up, we want to lose hope so much that we see nothing working, when we are faced with challenges and hardships of life, we even forget that God is there all the times, we hurry so much in putting our faith into friends who at the end disappoint us and tell the whole world about our problems. Hardships are not there to weaken us but they are there to make us stronger.

The word of God tells us to be strong at all times, to have patience at all times, when people don’t like us or hate us lets not worry as God loves us so much as we are special and dear to him, we waste our precious time worrying about what people say about us instead of what God say about us, without God we are nothing!!! Child of God why are you so concerned about what people say about you? Gossiping about you instead of worrying about serving God, dedicating your life to God and pleasing only him!

The world we live in will never love us as we are not of the world but we are children of God, do not be alarmed or worried when the world hate you, persecute you but be strong at all times being faithful and never losing faith in God, whatever that you might be going through, whether you have lost your loved one, friend, family or anything close and important to you never cease to praise God and have faith only in him at all times.

Always find ways to please God, make Him your greatest best friend of them all and tell only God your secrets as God wont judge you and He wont go around telling the whole world your secrets, burden, tears or hardships like most of our so-called friends does but God will wipe away every tear from our eyes and bring everlasting joy and smiles to our eyes.

Be strong and faithful at all times and God shall reward you, trust only him. No matter how long you suffer, be strong in the Lord at all times, no matter how many may hate you and do all evil things to get you down be strong in the Lord because nothing formed against you shall prosper. To God be the Glory.
