Stop the blame game

Stop the blame game

"The Man said, "The Woman you gave me as a companion, she gave me fruit from the tree, and, yes, I ate it. GOD said to the Woman, "What is this that you've done?The serpent seduced me," she said, "and I ate." (Gen.3.12-13) 

We always find something or someone to blame. And when we find none else, we blame God. The blame game is the oldest in the world. Who or what is the object of your blame? 

For some, it is their spouse; for others, it is their parents who did not send them to school. For others yet, they did not come out with good enough grade, hence they are stock in the shitty job they fine themselves. Not until you stop the blame game, you are not ready to win in the game of life. 

Imagine if Adam had taken responsibility for his actions. Or Eve had owned up to her responsibility. I dare say the world would be a better place. 

No one else is responsible for you. You are responsible for yourself. 

What ever you decide, own your decision. It may be wrong, all well and good. You'll learn from it and you'll move on. Stop playing the blame game. If it is not done, it because you have not decided that it should be done. If it is going to be, it is up to you, and if it is not, it is also up to you. Decide today! Instead of giving yourself a thousand reasons why you can't succeed, give yourself one compelling reason why you can. Hold yourself responsible and stop playing the blame game. 

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Phil.4.13 KJV)

Good day,
Have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
