Drop the excess baggage

Often times we carry so much excess baggage from the out-going year into the new; and still expect blessings and progress. One thing I have learned the hard way is to "never carry what you are not double sure you need into a new 'life'"- new life here could mean a lot- new apartment, job, relationship, year, etc.
Bless up.

Familiarity breeds contempt

"Familiarity" they say "breeds contempt". It also leads to complacency which is a poisonous killer of dreams and aspirations. No matter how good you are at "something" or how close you are with someone, let not complacency nor the evils of familiarity becloud your vision. 
Love you.

Stop hiding "behind" social media

If you have a problem with someone you claim you love or used to love, it is better to pick up a phone and call the person to let him/her know how you are hurting. Don't hide behind faceless texts/sms- that is cowardice. 
Worse of all, is to use your facebook and whatsapp updates and status respectively to insult or cast insinuations at people. Be bold and speak to the person on phone or better still in person. Bless up. Remember, in life there are no permanent enemies- be smart.

God never leaves anything unaccomplished

The song says My Lord who begun it will accomplish it
Now PAUSE!
God will not just complete or end it but accomplish it - take u to an expected end; no disappointments. We don't need God's help. We actually need to surrunder all to Him so that He can accomplish it. He can and is willing. In these trying times of hardships, our best bet for a quality life is an UNWAVERING FAITH in God.

NEVER stop asking

Good day. Today I encourage us to be bold to ask for what we want. Bible says "ask and it shall be given unto you". God didnt say "sit down and worry". So put shyness and fear away and ask. Else some dude will just take what is rightly yours. If it demands asking a thousand times; pls do it but humbly and with different approach.- Ato Afful (Son of Elohim), Ghana

Stop not your own blessings

The blessings of the Elohim will start manifesting if you are bold enough to get rid of some misfits in your precious life. He says He is a jealous God who does not share His glory. Be bold. I am a living testimony to that. It's very true. yeah. and in like manner, when you align with the right people, your blessings come quick. Bless up.

Communicate appropriately

In communication we have a principle on "appropriateness". That is to say- is what you are communicating acceptable to your specific target audience? In a nutshell, you may have spoken the truth but the message may not be acceptable by your target- hence your communication has NOT been effective. And in some cases it could result in 'slaps'. lol. So before you "speak", make sure it is very appropriate. Bless up.

Bear no grudges!

For how long can we hold on to grudges? I am yet to meet anybody who has cheated his/her way to the top and hasn't regretted in the long run. I wonder what drives people to harbour so much hatred for others, sometimes without a cause. We shall all die one day. No human is immortal. So why can't we live peacefully with each other? These are my thoughts this morning. I pray you and I will make a difference. Bless up

You are someone's hero

No matter who you are, you are somebody's mentor and a source of inspiration (whether for good or bad). Somebody somewhere looks up to you for a justification to do what they do. So think about it carefully and 'check' your ways.

Once bitten, twice shy

I have a principle. When you carelessly misuse me, cause me so much pain and deliberately turn around to accuse me falsely so that you win public sympathy, I also lock you up in my history. I forgive before you even ask but if you make an attempt to come back into my life, that one dier lie lie- tufiakwa.
Once bitten twice shy. First fool no be fool; but second fool......hmm.. Don't just re-open the door of your precious life to satan's "foot soldiers". I have said my own.

Levels and rules of engagement

If "every level has its devil", then every level has its rules of engagement. 
Question: is it therefore not advisable to discard certain people, characters and items when advancing to a new level in life?

Don't be a tin god

Some people have interestingly made themselves tin gods displaying their self acclaimed temporal (and illegal) powers; and abusing people all over the place. Let's remember that if POWER is not given from Elohim, it's not gonna last. And when your cover is blown, the reproach stinks. Power exposes the real "you". Don't be a perpetrator and be on guard to avoid being a victim.

Don't devalue LOYALTY

Good day. I'm still dealing with LOYALTY. 
Be careful not to take loyal people for granted because when it dies off, it is almost impossible to resurrect it because at that point, they would have given their loyalty to someone else and you know they don't easily switch allegiance. Everybody has options; so if he/she makes you a priority, then better prolong the expiry date. LOYALTY is a very rare expensive asset. Please don't devalue it.

Don't compromise on loyalty

Loyalty is a great asset in every kind of relationship. Loyalty simply means being consistent in your love, respect and support no matter what. If a loyal friend wants to quit company with u due to ur own fault and/or abuse, he does it not in public but he seeks audience with u behind closed doors. Is ur friend, sibling, spouse, employee, follower, etc loyal? Are u a loyal person? To whom do you owe allegiance and for what reason? Pls don't risk surrounding yourself with people who have no appreciation for loyalty.

Cut the excesses

"Cut the excesses and save for the unknown" - Ato Afful

REAP what you SOW

Now we know that whatever a man sows is what he reaps. Mind you, if you sow hatred, you gonna reap hatred and its associates like bitterness, loneliness, cancer, etc; plus their associates as well. So if you sow LOVE, you also reap the attributes of love and their associates including long life and prosperity. 
QUESTION: Are you proud of the seeds u have sown so far in life? Harvest time will surely come. Let's sow good seeds: not for anyone but ourselves. Love you.
