You are the Prize! đź‘‘
You are the prize!  There are so many things in life that will come against you that will tell or show you that you are not. You can be the prize and not feel or be treated as if you are. You must still believe that you are the prize even when everything you experienced is reflecting the opposite. This could be in the areas of your workplace, school, business, and personal life. For example, you can be walking in the fullness of your self-worth, but can be overlooked by many people who are not looking for challenges. If you’re not careful with your thinking, you may think that something is wrong with you, when really, it’s the other way around. You are in a lane of your own.
Most challenges are not approached. Think about a class or course that has higher requirements. Most people who cannot meet those requirements and qualifications drop the course and go for something that is easier. Your presence, character and the very essence of your being can be too much for the wrong people to handle. (Which is a good thing). That removes those who are unworthy and undeserving. All your temporary pain will be worth it. You will be thankful for all the no’s and rejection that you may be receiving now. Remember everything works for the good.
In general, it is easy to feel, undervalued and bypassed when you’re not getting the proper acknowledgement, credit or just due by other people. (For example, you can be overlooked when it comes to an promotion and recognition; especially when it comes to your craft, job, or personal relationships. This will only make you stronger.
It can almost feel as if you are invisible or “not good enough”. You are who YOU say you are. Don’t give in to feelings instead of faith. Do not allow the inability of what everyone else doesn’t see to cause you to stop being the best you. Stop begging people to see your worth. Always keep putting your best foot forward. There is so much more to your pathway and purpose. Allow this to elevate you to a higher place. Embrace your greatness and uniqueness in who he created you to be.
When you love yourself to the highest capacity, the preferences of what most people like or select will have no effect or impact upon you. It won’t matter. For example, don’t fall into the illusion/trap of thinking that your less valuable or desirable because you don’t have the approaches, approval and advances of most men. Don’t base your value, worth, nor validation into people. What has the LORD has for you is so much more. It will always be more than what you see and more than what you expected. He will always protect you from the things that are unseen in a person. The LORD looks at the spirit and character of a person, while we look at appearance. Be not weary or discouraged for The LORD is true to his word which is stronger than a two-edged sword.
The right energy, tools, resources and people will come to you. You won’t have to chase it. Everything always works out for the good and will fall into its place. You got to trust him in the process. The same uncomfortable process that you may feel is unfair is preparing you for the things that The LORD has on the way. You will be thanking him for all the lessons that prepared you for the blessings. You were challenged in particular areas early on because GOD is going to entrust you with so much more responsibility and weight. He was only just getting you ready. Many will fall, crumble and stumble because they didn’t go through what they had to go through.
Remember true quality will always take longer. It is no strange thing if your manifestation takes longer than most. That means you are on the right path despite how it may feel in the natural. There is greatness that is upon your life and the LORD will continue to lead and guide your steps. Allow him to keep his hand upon you, so that you can continue to be the best person that you can possibly be.
It is written in Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.
Missing Out on What???
Walking a narrow path isn’t easy. It also comes with much obedience, sacrifice, discipline and commitment. When walking this path, it is important to stay focus and faithful even until the end. When you are walking on a narrow path don’t fall into any traps of deception by thinking you’re missing out on something. Allow God to keep you in perfect peace. Keep your thoughts on him. Don’t waste the years of your life by conforming. That’s time and energy that you can’t get back.
The lie that the enemy will try to display is that your missing out on the “fun” (the pleasures of sin). Please don’t believe the lie and the mindset that everyone’s doing it. That is deception. Don’t fall for the bait or trap. Guard your heart and affections. God’s protection is a blessing and it will save you from so much unnecessary trouble. Put on the full armor of God. He will preserve you. He will do whatever he can to protect his best. It’s an honor to be on God’s mind so much, that he’s not willing to allow you to go through that path of destruction. It will always appear as rejection, but it’s really protection so you can truly receive his best in any area of your life. Romans 8:25: says “But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it”. Always remember that the best is yet to come. ♥
Please don’t get weary and bow. Stay out of danger. Someone is counting on you to be different. Hebrews 11:25 mentions that the pleasures of sin are for a season. Stay true to who he called you to be. Despite the pressures of reality, your obedience, devotion, sacrifice and commitment will pay off. The enemy will make a lie appear as the truth. You’re not missing out on anything that you “must” have. Allow God to build your patience so when you finally receive, your foundation will be stronger. Your time is coming 🙂

He Did Not Forsake You: Keep Fighting
It’s important to leave all old things behind. All former things have passed away. Remove all negative energy and distractions. If you fall, always get back up. The enemy’s plan is for you to get discouraged and to give up. Always remember that giving up is not an option. He will make a lie more believable and appealing than the truth. Sometimes the lie will appear as the truth, but that’s why you must hold on to God’s word. There will be many times in where it will look as if God has forsaken you, but that’s only lie. Hang on and hold on to God’s promises. Fight for your happiness, joy and peace ♥.
Allow him to strengthen you in your weakest moments. Don’t stop believing in the dreams and visions that he gave you just because it hasn’t came to past yet. He is not a man that shall lie. Allow him to restore your vision even if it has gotten a little blurry. Refresh and renew your mind. Have the fight and strength to get back up. Have the courage to keep going. Through your failure keep going. Through pain and rejection keep going. He is still with you. Your current reality does not determine where you will stay. Fight for your vision, dreams and goals. Enjoy the journey along the way. His plan is perfect although it won’t feel perfect. (Sometimes it will look crazy). He is not only testing your faith, but your patience. It will all pay off. Extreme measures equate to extreme blessings. Don’t wait for no one’s affirmation in order to keep going. It’s still going to work out for your good and his glory ♥♥.

Expand Your Vision
Speak life into your vision. Speak those things as though they were. Keep saying it until you see it. God will sometimes test you to see if you still hang on to his word and promise when things are going in an opposite direction. It’s all test of your faith. The harder the test the bigger the reward. Extraordinary people go through extraordinary things. Expand your vision according to where you’re going and not by where you are. Where you are currently in life is just a prerequisite to get to where you’re going. The LORD is looking for unmovable faith. He is pleased by faith. There is something that is connected to your purpose in your everyday routine. (Even if you don’t have one or if nothing is happening). Trust God by showing him your patience and faith. He will rekindle your strength.
Water your vision with positive and supportive people. Don’t allow anyone or anything to hinder your growth that is not of the will of God. You will be able to travel new heights and new levels that most people have not seen before. There is something that he wants to reveal to you on a higher level but you must trust him. Expand your vision when you are walking on blind faith. Don’t allow your vision to be blurry but increased with clarity and sharpness. Take little leaps of faith that will make you closer to your goals. Allow your vision to expand to new heights and measures.
It is written in Habakkuk 2:2 – “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it”. It is also written in Proverbs 29:18 – “Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he”.

He Will Make A Way Out of No Way!
Just as he made a way for the children of Israel, so shall he make it for you. God never goes back on his word. His promises are true. His plans are mysterious and his strategies are beyond human comprehension. No one can truly figure out God. There is nothing predictable about him. He blesses us in different ways. You may be looking for him to do something he did before, when he is going to bless you in another way. He shall do a new thing in you. Everything that crashed and burned shall be restored. It may have been impossible with man, but with God all things shall be possible. Every fail attempt will become a story that is a part of your success. Remember that God is going to do everything he has said he’s going to do. You may not have receive what you wanted during the time you expected, but he will always come on time. No matter how impossible things may seem, feel or look, remember that he shall make a way out of no way. He shall multiply and expand what little offering that you have left.
It is written in 1 Kings 17:12-16 that:
And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.
Thursday’s Morning Inspiration: Keep All Hope Alive
Keep all hope alive. Even if you have every reason to believe otherwise. There will always be some form of opposition to attack everything you believe. Your test help builds your faith, character, patience and strength. Keep your mind sharp and guard your heart. Block away all of the enemy’s attacks by praying. Before you leave your house, it’s important to pray so that you can set the foundation for the rest of the day. No matter what issues may arise, you are protected through the power of prayer. It’s a covering of protection. Put on the full armor of God and remember that the best is yet to come.
Sleeping?
Discernment is very important to have in this day and age. It’s a precious gift from God. With so much chaos going on in the world, this is not a time to be sleep. We must be on guard at all times. Don’t allow your pride to deceive you in handling things your way. God always knows how to handle things better than we do. (That includes vengeance) Satan is very crafty. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. Always stay in prayer, even when you don’t feel like it or have to. Mathew 26:40-41 says, And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
This scripture is interesting because it always surprised me on how people can be sleeping in the presence of Jesus. Are you sleeping when God is calling you to pray, fast and obey? Are you sleeping when you hear his voice of instruction? Sleep can cause you to miss out on the biggest blessing that can come your way. Wake up and arise! For you must be prepared and ready for what’s on the way. His strength and power will keep you in perfect peace.
#Don’t Sleep…..
Watch out for the Spirit of Deception
We currently live in a world in where the truth is a lie and the lie is the truth. If you are not careful, you can become deceived by what looks right, feels right and sounds right, but it will lead you to a road of destruction. There are so many people compromising with a lie. It is written Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. They are following the ways of world and they are not truly transformed. You cannot tell the difference between the clean and unclean. The Godly and the Ungodly. God said his people must be Holy. Holy means separate. Do not allow the Devil to make you bandwagon with what everyone else is doing and watching. Don’t allow him convince you that the Lord has changed his word in today’s time, for
It is written in Hebrews 13:8Â (KJV) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.
When you are unsure what is true and you seem to be confused on what is righteous, read the word. Engrave it in your mind, heart, and soul. There is only one path to heaven, and that is through Jesus. Be not deceived through thoughts, opinions, emotions nor philosophy. These are the last days. He shall return very soon.
The Illusion of Ideas
Everything Is not what it appears or seems. Do not fall into the trap of illusions. It’s going to take more than feelings and the idea of a situation in order to sustain through the tough times. If you make a life decision based on the artificial or idea, it will crumble a part. It’s so much more work, dedication, focus, and commitment than what it appears on the outside. The intensity and urgency of a situation will take much more than just the illusion of feelings and ideas. It will also take more than the desire. Use the eyes of the spirit and not the eyes of the natural. Some times God is protecting you, when you don’t get your way.
Find it not a strange thing when God does not give you what you want when you want it. Don’t follow the trend of what everyone is doing. Don’t allow what others are doing to cloud your judgement. This is your path. Trends eventually fades. You must remain faithful to who you are until the end. What’s for everyone may not be for you at the moment. God has a special plan your life. He always saves the best for last. Focus on his word and his voice. Not the other voices in the background nor illusions.
