Gifts of GOD by R. E. Smith
Achievement is a word we all like to hear in the same sentence with our names. It is a means of describing our hard work and dedication to a specific task or set of tasks over time. Many people spend most of their lives trying to achieve that ultimate goal. Ambition is good but have you ever stopped to think about where that passion comes from? That gift and drive of wanting to become, that intrinsic motivation?
No Mountian Too High
Philippians 4:13 is not just a catchphrase or something to resight when you are feeling demotivated or want an inner dose of adrenaline. It is the one clear truth that acknowledges that despite our abilities there isn't much we can do without putting GOD first. With him in our lives, we can hike to the top of any mountain and though the route to get to the top is different for each person the result is a lifetime achievement of knowing that with GOD all things are possible.
Just Ask
Many times we believe that we can do things of our own accord and when we come up short we give up. Giving up is not an option or a setback because all we need to do is just ask. Ask and it shall be given unto us, gifts according to our abilities. We are unique and created perfectly by GOD despite our imperfections each of us just waiting in our cacoon to metamorph into our true selves. 1st Peter 4:10 tells us " Each one of us has a special gift and we must use it according to our abilities, to help others and to serve God". This is not just a request but it is our stewardly responsibility.
The Gifts
The gifts of God manifest in us through faith, hope, obedience, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, long-suffering, and love. Therefore if pride takes over put it aside and take up the armor of humility, press forward, and remember we must love GOD and serve others because there is no greater gift than the gift of charity.

True Justice will prevail. Society is riddled with immoralities and lawlessness and this has become increasingly common almost as if it is the norm for society to behave like they are in a cinematic universe of GOOD versus EVIL or the Law versus Society. The lines of morality, truth, and integrity have become blurred that people no longer realize what is right or wrong in society. The moment a crime is committed and the Justice System acts speedily and without hesitation, we hear the cry echoing through our communities WE WANT JUSTICE but what is justice without integrity? And how can justice be carried out in a society when people have lost their way? When did it become the norm to challenge the law even when it is working for our own good? What is Justice? Justice is referred to as lawful or righteous actions. It also indicates what is morally correct or the right thing to do. Most scholars and religious practitioners emphasize the need for justice and fair treatment for all men.
Make the right choice Recently I had a lengthy conversation with my Doctor about Personal Health. After leaving the office it had me thinking about how we often ignore the signs that indicate our health is deteriorating without even giving it a second thought. It is medically proven that when we are young our organ systems work in tandem to digest, absorb, assimilate, and metabolize just about anything we consume. Also, it recovers and rejuvenates itself at a faster rate. However, as we age it is important that we take good care of ourselves this is partly due to the fact that our body slows down as we grow older and we become more prone to lifestyle illnesses. Therefore to experience a long and successful life we must maintain a healthy lifestyle. What is a Healthy Lifestyle? The term healthy lifestyle refers to a balance in all areas of our life which includes a complete physical, social, and emotional health. Therefore we must have a balanced meal, exercise regularly, abstain f
Be Persistent "The greatest challenge in life is sometimes learning to believe in yourself". R. E. Smith. Don't waste your time trying to accomplish someone's idea. Instead use your time to chase after your dreams and become a Dream Chaser. Oftentimes individuals put aside their dreams and goals because they were introduced to an idea by a friend or colleague. Putting your time and effort into accomplishing another person's idea will result in you "killing your dreams". Let me make this perfectly clear, there is nothing wrong with helping others to accomplish their goals and aspiration because our aim should always be to assist others to grow and develop but try not to sacrifice your dreams chasing a vision that does not align with your plans. For the purpose of this lesson we will examine who is a Dream Chaser and six ways to accomplish our dreams. What is a Dream? A dream is a feeling or sensation that usually occur at nights or during the
