Prepare for High Places
It's not so much about how much I earn now, or how many people are making things comfortable or uncomfortable around me. Scripture says "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men." Proverbs 22:29
Seed time and harvest time will never cease, keep being your best where you are, keep God first place, maintain your integrity and strive for excellence, turn your talents to skills, develop your pearls, work through the criticisms, your payday is coming.
1Sam 2:8 "He raises the poor from the dust, He seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honour"
We cant afford to be irrelevant, God has prepared you for higher places 1 Cor 2:9 "Eye hath not seen..."

Get busy pursuing your dreams
I think about how I used to be a wonderful singer, back then in kids choir, on to teenage choir then the big choir in church.
Then the decline started when I wouldn't join the choir in school cos my sister was there already, and I didn't want to steal anyone's thunder.
I joined another team and thot I was happy. But was I?
When you aren't doing what God has called you to do, u feel a certain pain, a certain uneasiness. You know something is missing in your life, you're not living yet.
Life is about finding and fulfilling purpose, you're favoured to have found your purpose, now get to fulfilling it.
What God starts, He finishes. You cant do it by yourself without God's favour.
Yestrday, the first of February, I would say I started living afresh. Cos I reviewed my goals my life, took giant steps and said Hey! I want to sing!!!
Use it or loose it. The gift of singing is really delicate. My voice isn't as good now as it was ten years ago, I kept thinking to myself. But with God's grace and favour, knowing that God is pleased with my new decision to pursue my dreams, I know He'll crown my efforts with success. Maybe this is the set time. I guess it's time for my ministry to begin.
God will bring all the favour that is required to accomplish your God-given dreams. Quit working on the figures and facts, believe that we have a God of wonders; He turned water to wine, parted the red sea, helped Joseph bring his dreams to pass, even after many years.
DONT EVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!
