EVALUATION FOR ELEVATION

EVALUATION FOR ELEVATION

Adesina Abegunde

Blessed day to you in Jesus name.

I believe you are beginning to count your blessings even in this year? The provision, protection, guidance, wisdom, strength and so on, and all God’s free gifts. Your hope will not be dashed in Jesus name. Your plans will work out according to God’s will. Stay hopeful, you are next in line for miracles.

I want to share with you this week on evaluation, may be you feel it is too early in the year, No!, never too early. Ordinary people evaluate their year annually and make annual resolutions. Average people evaluate their lives monthly and make monthly resolution. But excellent, extraordinary people evaluate their lives per hour and make hourly resolution, they are always catching up with the next few minutes. To waste couple of minutes, hours, days and weeks is to waste a year and invariably a lifetime. A lifetime because life is time!

A famous dictum by Socrates is that “an unexamined life is not worth living.” Proper examination helps to evaluate one’s life and then make needed decision to move forward. To evaluate means to take proper assessment of a thing to see whether it is fulfilling the intended purpose or intent. It means to see whether it delivers value or not.

E + VALUE+TION

Evaluation is checking out for values in a thing or in someone. The “E” can be assumed to mean endeavours, engagement and so many other thing you are involved in. So to evaluate yourself is to ask what values those things that you have done this year have delivered or promise to deliver.

So as a great person with capacity to do extraordinary things, you have to evaluate the early hours you have spent today, but at least I want to encourage you to evaluate the last one week and plan for this week. The following questions may help you;

·         What are the values of my activities last one week?

·         What did I do right?

·         What did I do wrong?

·         What is the eternal usefulness of my past one week?

·         How much of my plans did I carry out?

·         What did I need to do immediately?

·         Who do I need to see or talk with urgently?

·         Where do I need to go now?

·         What discipline do I need so I don’t repeat my mistakes again?

·         How has my life honoured God in the past one week?

·         Who have I blessed in the past one week?

·         What makes me proud and valuable in the past one week?

·         If I spend the rest of my year like the past one week, will I be a success or a failure by the end of the year?

Add other relevant questions, but remember that too much analysis may lead to paralysis.

Don’t just evaluate to feel terrible, but evaluate to become more capable to succeed.

I see you achieving great feats this year in Jesus name.

Receive the anointing for reduction of prices for the things you can’t afford in Jesus name.

God be with you.

Enjoy your week.

CONVENIENCE, COMMITMENT,CONVENTION AND CONVENANT

CONVENIENCE, COMMITMENT,CONVENTION AND CONVENANT

By Adesina Abegunde

With a great joy in my heart I welcome you to Year 2017, all the plans and purposes of God for your life shall be fulfilled in Jesus name.

I believe that you have great plans and desires for the year, your dreams are exciting and hopes are high. I encourage you to believe God to make them happen, for with God all things are possible.

Convenience and Commitment

Many dreams have been aborted on the platform of convenience. Many people only do what is convenient for them and never strive to achieve anything that proves difficult. Some people at the vaguest perception of difficulty quit whatever they set out to do, a popular saying is that “winners never quit and quitters never win.” In fact some people feel that it difficulty is a sign that that thing is not God’s will, but always remember that Francis Frangipanes said “New levels, new devils”, friction is a sign of motion, only he who makes motion experiences friction.

I believe so strongly in the anointing and grace of ease, but that only come to people that labour by commitment and not by convenience. Nothing great is ever achieved by doing only what is convenient it takes commitment and not just cowardice’s convenience to fulfill destiny. Commitment is to continually do something even when it is no longer convenient and exciting. Commitment is strengthened by what you believe not what you feel. So those exciting plans may not be exciting for too long, there will be hindrances, challenges, oppositions as you move on in life, but remember that where there is a strong will (commitment) there will always be a way.

Convention and Covenant

Everything conventional comes with it a certain degree of limitation, (a kind of thinking in a box). Conventional thinking and experiences limit people from reaching the goals and becoming all that God want them to become. Conventional forces make everyone a commoner, I mean things like conventional recession and other certain common experiences that limit people. Another perspective to this is trying to do things the way everyone else do it, to be afraid of being different may kill your dreams and visions this year.Beware of conventional attitudes, conventional way of thinking and talking, it may not help you.

You are a covenant person, you are redeemed by God into a covenant relationship through Jesus Christ. You do things and things happen for you not because it is conventional but because it is covenantal. Where conventional forces fail this year, covenant will speak for you in Jesus name. Covenant is a binding agreement between two parties, the breaking of which is highly consequential. To obey your part is to commit the other party, which is God, to definitely fulfill His part.

You will succeed in Jesus name.

Your dream may neither be convenient nor conventional, but through your commitment and God’s covenant you will triumph in Jesus name.

Doors will open for you this year like never before in Jesus name.

Your proofs of God’s goodness will be undeniable this year in Jesus name.

I welcome you to your new level of exploits in Jesus name.

Have a blessed year.

I celebrate you.
