Friend, there are times in destiny when God begins to separate you from some people you imagine you need, because of what he is about to do in your life or where he is taking you to. Sometimes, others wake up and walk away from your life, we break down and mourn without realizing that it was God at work. We allow people whose mission in our lives was for a chapter to stay on in subsequent chapters. Beloved, when people walk away from your life or you sense a divine separation, allow them to go. God is about to incubate a higher ground for you. Never let someone whose mission in your life is finished to stay a minute longer, you just might be truncating your future. They may have been the 'Achan' in your camp, Let them go! They might have been the veil that covered your creativity and productivity - Let them go! They just may not necessarily be bad people but they could form excess luggages and you may not afford to travel with them - Let them go! It might even be for their good - Let them go!

For those of you who are battling if you should stay in this relationship; this book is for you. I am not one to tell anyone to leave your husband however if you are wondering if he loves you and he feels the need to get away for a while and not allow the twoof oyu to work it out. That is something the both of you need help with. I was inspired in my marriage to stop focusing on what my husband is doing and or not doing and I began to focus on God and so did he and now our marriage is better.

This book is a self help but yet inspirational book to help those who are struggling with their identity. We live a lie catering to what others think we should be and not direct our own lives. Be the men and women God is calling you to be and stop wearing mask to please people.

I wrote this book to inspire any woman who ia facing and or have faced adversity. God is not punishing you; he is pruning you for better

Having a positive outlook on life is a crucial part of finding inspiration. In this book, you will feel inspired reading about the vastness of our world and our uniqueness and spiritual essence on life. If you feel overwhelmed and depressed at the insignificance of it all? Our brains are wired to find things we're looking for - if you're always cynical or waiting for things to go wrong, then your life will reflect that. On the other hand, having a positive outlook on life will bring you joy and provide you with inspiration when you least expect it. Life and Death lies in the power of your own tongue. Speak Life

This book is motivational messages to get you through the day of life and experiences. Would you agree that the person we spend the most time with is our self? So, it's fair to assume that we also spend a lot of time thinking about ourselves. I ask you: Do you really like yourself? Would you rather be somebody else? Are you realistic about your strengths and weaknesses? Since God is your Creator and He knows you better than anyone, why don't you get to know God personally? John Calvin said, "Man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he has previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself." In getting to know God, you will begin to know yourself - the real you!

The pastor's wife is supposed to always look nice, smile, sit down in the front row of church, and agree with her husband. Her kids need to be model Christians. She needs to be ready to open her home to people in the church at any time and serve them. It's good if she volunteers to play the piano, help in the children's ministry, or teach women's Bible study. Oh my! Stereotypes like these can be crushing on a pastor's wife! The Bible Supports the Uniqueness of Each Pastor's Wife The truth is that each pastor's wife is unique! But one thing that most pastors' wives have in common is that they have a significant and challenging God-given opportunity to have influence for Christ in a church and the surrounding community. But to step into the role of pastor's wife, with all it's conflicting expectations and ministry stress, pastors' wives need a special grace and wisdom from God.

Ephesians 4:32 says; "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you." 6 These Words of God are truly words we should live by. Face it. We're all in this together. We are imperfect people, being changed from glory to glory to be more like Jesus. If we are truly followers of Jesus, then we MUST obey Him and do what He says! For He clearly stated; "If anyone loves Me, he WILL obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." 7 Let us each take these words to heart, pray over them, and endeavor to live them out by the power of God's Holy Spirit working in our lives! Over the years, as I have walked with the Lord, I have sometimes felt hurt or disappointed or let down by people in the Church, even by the failure of individual fellowships, Christian organizations, or denominations of the Church. Their sincere best efforts to effectively manage and build the Church often fall short of showing the love, kindness and mercy of the One Whom they represent. Like you, I am learning to forgive, and to move on in Christ, to reconnect with the Church, and to risk once more being in fellowship with other believers in Christ.. But in all fairness, we must each ask ourselves this painful, soul-searching question; "How many people might I myself have hurt or disappointed or let down?" and "How can I grow in my own faith and become all God wants me to become, without the regular fellowship, encouragement, interaction and prayers of other believers?" I think James says it best; "We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault, he is a perfect (mature or complete) man, able to keep his own body in check. ... the Tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the hole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell". 8 In any relationship between two or more people, you're going to eventually find that there is a disagreement or a source of conflict. Think of a marriage. The honeymoon wears off, and eventually one begins asking; "Why don't you ever put the lid on the toothpaste?", or something else just as trivial. Little and insignificant things can get all blown out of proportion. Or consider your life interactions where you work; getting along with coworkers, or dealing with a difficult boss. How about relating to neighbors, or parents, or relatives, or kids? Disagreement, misunderstandings and conflicts are an unavoidable part of life. We are all different. So why is it that when we walk through the doors of a Church, we suddenly expect everyone to be different than they are the rest of the week? We all still have the same life issues, struggles, and problems getting along with people - whether we are at work, or at home, or at Church, because we're still the same people. I say it's time to make peace, it's time we choose to get right with one another - no matter how difficult or messy the process, because we really DO need one another.

Many people go through life not pursuing their potential due to deficiencies. God can use our deficiencies to show us that we need to totally depend on him. All of us according to the word of God have sin and fallen short. God knew we needed a savior; so he sent his son who was a perfect sacrifice to die in our place. Stop allowing others to dictate where you belong or who you are. You are created in God's image and he loved you enough to die for you.

Many of us feel the need to fit in with the crowd instead of standing out from the crowd. So why is it so important for us to fit in and be accepted? I think it is because we all want to belong to something. We want to feel chosen. Have you ever been at gym class and the teacher would pick two guys as team captains, and the team captains would choose people from the group to be on their team? And there was always someone who would be the last person to be picked because maybe they weren't as fast or they couldn't play as well or whatever. Well, no one ever wants to have that feeling of not being as good as everyone else and being that last guy chosen. But if you are smart, you will eventually realize that there is no way to please the world, so why are you even trying? No matter what you do, there is going to be someone who wants to put you down. If you are really smart, they will say you think you know it all. If you are good looking, someone is going to say that you are stuck up or conceited. If you are really thin or really heavy, someone will call you an unflattering nickname. And if you talk too much about God, they will say, "Oh, so now you're holier than thou." But If you call yourself a follower of Christ, you are not supposed to even care what is going on with everybody else, let alone try to go along with it. 1 John 2:15-17 tells us, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever."
