“NEEKS, I WANT YOU TO WORK ON BEING A WISE WOMAN”
That’s the advice from my brother, Kevin, I want to continually pass on to you guys! Like talking to my brother, Gil, I said, “Let’s look at some of your major decisions. Did you seek God’s guidance?” On one particular one, he said that his own brain told him that he wasn’t making the right move, and he also had feelings of doubt, but he still went ahead with it. I explained that doubt, uneasiness, and stress means don’t from God. If God wants you to go in a particular direction, His voice is always a big YES! You have feelings of enthusiasm and excitement. You feel your spirit nudging you inside; even though you may be full of fear, you can still feel Him pressing you to go forward. Like I told you guys Shula in my office in Nigeria said I should come to the US to work on our business here. I felt like a lightning bolt went off, and I felt it was God Himself saying that I should go. So, all day, 24/7, we can feel what God is saying to us every moment. But it takes practice, practice, and more practice!
You must also take time to have appointments with God where you have quiet time listening or reading anything you feel brings you closer to Him. I love Ceri’s words of wisdom on our We Roll With God YouTube channel. I realize why my spirit takes so strongly to Ceri’s message. When the world is so caught up in financial wealth, Ceri messages are about spiritual wealth, a close relationship with God, which brings peace, contentment, purpose in living a life pleasing to God, joy, courage, having loving relationships, and being better people every day and having God’s strength to take on the best lives following God’s will, not following what will bring me worldly riches. Success for me is living my life by being obedient to God and focused on His eternal rewards that we can’t see.
Like I had a rough day fighting with hubby – some battles you must choose!- But talking to my daughter Julie made me realize that our sacrifices for our kids are worth the eternal glory in the future that I can’t see right now that my kids and grandkids will be thanking us for in our graves. She wants to audition for a mock trial team that competes against other universities. That’s how we do, my future lawyer. I tell her that she will be a lawyer whether she wants to or not! Tough momma here!
So be wise, my peeps, going to God in the 1,000 decisions you make a day. Some will be hard, but our reward is with God! When we die He will say well done my good and faithful servant! I life lived in God’s will is what we should be shooting for!
