LET US BE REALISTIC

Believe me, when I tell you that nothing has killed big dreams, choked great visions, and buried wonderful ideas like that above statement.

A lot of sincere people exist today that could have accomplished great things for God in their generation but who sadly did not accomplish much because they were told by someone somewhere to be realistic when they shared the Divinely inspired vision burning in their hearts.

To be honest, most times when we walk by faith, it seems we are not in our right senses and are out of touch with reality.

If Abraham and Sarah had decided to be realistic; having a child would definitely be out of the question for them.

If Mary had chosen to be realistic; the immaculate conception would have been nothing but wishful thinking.

If Joshua and the Israelites had chosen to be realistic; marching around the wall of Jericho for seven days and shouting at the wall on the seventh day to bring it down was a stupid and dumb idea.

Those who live by faith and God's instructions are not always realistic by other people's standards. 

They only see possibilities whereas others are seeing impossibilities. 

They see potential miracles where others are seeing obstacles.

Don't be afraid to dream big this year. Don't be afraid to make big plans. 

Is there any idea or vision God is laying in your heart for this year, 2023? Don't be afraid of being viewed as unrealistic.

Very soon, your results will convince them that you were right all along

The Painful Reality of Life: When the Rain Stops, the Umbrella Becomes a Burden

Life often teaches us some of its harshest lessons through the simplest of metaphors. Consider the umbrella, a faithful companion during a storm. It shelters us, keeps us dry, and provides comfort against the elements. But once the rain ceases, that very umbrella, so crucial moments ago, becomes a cumbersome burden. This transition captures a painful truth about loyalty and human relationships: when the benefits cease, so too does the loyalty. In our lives, many people flock to us not for who we are but for the value we bring and the benefits they can derive from us. They thrive on the opportunities, support, and advantages we offer. As long as we are useful, as long as we can provide shelter from life's storms, we are cherished and needed. But when the rain stops—when the benefits diminish—these same people often disappear, leaving us to ponder the true nature of our connections. This realization can be incredibly disheartening. We yearn for genuine relationships, for loyalty that...

My 96-Hour Goose Chase

A few days ago, I embarked on a journey I never imagined I would experience. It all started with a simple goal: to clear a small debt that had been weighing on me. I thought that taking a small loan would be the best solution to get back on my feet and settle everything. Little did I know that this decision would lead me into a 96-hour goose chase that cost me time, money, and trust. I began my search for a loan online, and after some browsing, I came across a Finance company that seemed legitimate. I reached out to them, eager to resolve my situation. After completing all the necessary forms on their website, they informed me that my credit score was low and, therefore, I wouldn't be approved for the loan unless I paid an upfront amount equal to one month's repayment (450 AED). They assured me that this amount would be refunded once the loan was processed and credited to my account. Naively, I rushed to the ATM to deposit the requested amount. Here's a breakdown of what fo...
