YOUR GENDER IS NOT A DANGER TO YOUR AGENDA

There are ladies who think that being a female is a disadvantage. They believe the world favors men over women. To them, it’s a world where only men dominate, rule and win. Such women always believe that women are marginalized, cheated by nature, and subdued. Therefore, they constantly feel compelled to prove a point.

For this set of women, their gender has become a danger to their agenda in life. They go about with victim's mentality and personality.

Look around you and see women who are shattering the proverbial glass ceiling and scaling greater heights. Observe women in different spheres of life who are breaking limits and setting global records of unprecedented achievements.

If you are feeling limited, inadequate, and insufficient for your agenda in life, I can assure you that it is not because of your gender. It is because of your mindset.

The dominion mandate was given to both genders, male and female.

Are you even aware of God’s agenda for your life? Do you sense that you have a global assignment? Were you raised for such a time as this?

It is time to rise up and do whatever you’ve been called to do. No more excuses! Stop thinking your gender can pose any danger. No! In fact, you were designed for your assignment- gender, looks, personality and all!

DON'T JOKE WITH YOUR PEN!

“There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.” – Williams Makepeace Thackeray.

An important attribute of most great people is their love for writing! Yes, great people befriend their pens. They may not necessarily be authors, but they write!

So many great brands today dropped into people's heart as mere thoughts. Only that the thinkers were fast and wise enough to write the thoughts (ideas) down, fine-tuned them and began taking actions on them.

Here are two reasons why you should not joke with your pen this year:

1) THE INCREASE YOU PRAYED FOR IS COMING IN SEED FORM OF AN IDEA

If you made powerful declaration into the new year, wrote growth goals, made resolutions or prayed for an enlarged coast, watch out, your answers will begin to drop in form of ideas. Now, what you do when the ideas come to you is what matters. Some fantasize with it until it fizzles away, some discard it due to unbelief, some unconsciously give it away prematurely through excessive talking, while some capture and nurture it until fruitfulness.

2) THE IDEA YOU CAPTURE IS THE ONE YOU NURTURE.

We all have great ideas lurking in our subconscious mind. It takes a pen to lift those ideas from our subconscious minds into reality. Once captured, it begins to grow and expand every time you meditate on it.

There is a flow of creativity that accompany putting your thoughts/ Ideas on paper. It opens up, it becomes clearer. All of a sudden it begins to take on flesh unlike the abstract form in your mind. You find words to communicate it and actionable steps begin to emerge.

As simple as this is, it could be instrumental to your breakthrough this year. If you cultivate the habit of writing down the ideas running through your mind, especially in your time of meditation, you will soon see yourself taking actions that will lead you into unfathomable results.

Remember, success begins with an idea. Be careful not to let inspired ideas slip off your mind without penning them down.

Cultivate the habit of making use of your pen this year. As you pray, meditate, read, and engage in meaningful conversations, God will be releasing great ideas, solutions, information into your heart. Catching them with your pen is up to you.

You might not need all what you wrote but there might just be that one idea you have written that will liberate you.

An old Chinese proverb says that “the faintest pen is more powerful than the strongest memory."

If you want to be taken seriously this year, don’t joke with your pen!

YOU WILL NEED THESE TWO BOXES AS YOU TRAVEL THIS YEAR.

There are two major boxes you will need as you journey through the next twelve months and through life. One is a treasure box and the other, a trash box.

Life and people will throw many things at you as you journey. Many of those things will be great treasures that you will need to guard jealously. Be sure to put them in your treasures box. They beautify your life and journey. As the treasures are coming, the trash will also be thrown at you, ranging from few to many depending on how high your travel. Most times, you can easily identify the trash, other times you need discernment to identify treasures that are covered in trash. Learn to identify each one and store them in appropriate boxes.

Do not get immersed in the trash thrown at you, for those who get themselves immersed in trash run the risk of being mistaken for trash themselves. Learn to handle the trash thrown at you without losing focus on your journey. The negative words, negative energy, toxicity, anger, hatred, condemnation, cutting remarks, disappointment, sinful desires are few examples of trash that must not take root in your heart.

Pay particular attention to those treasures that God will be sending your way and into your life this year. Those beautiful relationships, connections, opportunities, godly counsels, love, affection, sweet memories, financial blessing and capacity building systems, to name a few. Don't joke with them. Treasure them. They add colour to your life and make you a treasure to your world.

Above all, this year, don't trash what you should treasure and don't treasure what you should trash!
