Burning the Midnight Candle!

Hello Friend,

How are you doing today? I was chatting with another friend of mine and I got today's title from her. Well I am presently burning the midnight candle. It's basically the only time I have to do the work that I have to do, to get the kind of grade that I want and desire. So no sleep for a while. Did the same thing thru the weekend needless to say I got a nasty headache just after church yday. So I just had to sleep for like 2 hrs. My lil'baby wasn't ready to sleep of course but figured out a way to prop him in his bouncing sleeper. How do you get to sleep with kids that aren't ready to sleep around. Well TV and bouncing sleepers can get you like 40mins. lol.

I would really have loved to gist about the project i am actually doing but...long story ... and then it'll probably be a bunch of jargons' to you. Need to get back to work cos my day will begin shortly. Will however love to encourage you this morning. The main scripture we took yday in church was Joshua 1: 8. We all know the verse. very popular but ask yourself if you truly practice it. It says "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success".

We need to have a Word for every issue concerning our lives as believers (depart out of thy mouth). We need to also read the Word, not just read it but meditate upon it during the day and not just during the day alone but at night as well. Our mind should not just be preoccupied with worldly things (bills, kids, marriages, wives, husbands, jobs, career, school etc) but it should also be preoccupied with what we read from the Word. Now after doing all this, we still need to act them out, u know, be a hearer and not just a doer. And get this... not just some things oh...'ALL that is written therein'. THEN... meaning after you have done all that...Then...thou shall make thy way prosperous. Prosperity is one the first level of success. The next level is good success.

My Pastor said some people can be prosperous and not have good success but you can not have good success without being prosperous. The example he gave, some stars(Hollywood) may be prosperous and have lots of money but a lot of them do not have good success (other areas of their lives fail or are heavily lacking). May God help us all in Jesus mighty name.
