Mindsets Against This World

A Daystar Masterpiece On Diligence


Faith and prosperity are married principles that cannot be divorced over a simple misunderstanding of what they mean.


Jesus is the greatest personality that ever walked amongst men, and His exemplary character and leadership speaks volumes. You would notice on several occasions, He categorised His mission to earth as a form of work. He often said, “I must work the works of Him that sent me while it is day,” choosing the term work, also translated as business in the Greek.


As it is a requirement for a business to constitute strategic players, Jesus is seen not to have chosen religious Levites or zealots as part of His disciples. Rather, His chosen were men who knew how to take risks—people whose lives were spent beyond themselves. The call of Elisha is no different; the pattern is clear that God does not reward idleness with a call to greatness.


Now, as disciples of Christ Jesus, remember that God cherishes progressives, risk-takers, and innovators. These qualities are important to God. It is time to quit laziness and add value to your Father’s world. Take charge. Start something. Make the move. Get out of your comfort zone, and the Lord will amplify the sound of your steps. Now is the time. Put God on display wherever you are—that is ministry.


Over and over again, we see that the laws of this world often stand in opposition to God’s system of success. God’s perspective differs strongly from the human standpoint. Where stonewalls signal a halt, the Lord declares a way for His people.


Let no one discourage you in your pursuits. Anything is possible if you believe. God is the architect of greatness and is known to leave the 99% in a successful state for the sake of the lost 1%—though the world often presents the opposite narrative, idolizing the 1% and ignoring the 99%. Whether you are part of the ninety-nine or the one, there is hope for you. 


In all these conflicting systems, whose report will you believe? Make that decision quickly, because we live in a deceptive world.


Training for mastery takes time, but waiting is not idleness—it is preparation. Interestingly, waiting is one of the greatest investments and a wise use of time.


While you wait, arm yourself with knowledge as your defense. Jesus warned us to be wise as serpents, filled with divine intelligence. Only by knowledge shall the righteous be delivered—this is what the Scriptures teach.


In whatever you do, get knowledge so you would not have to do it twice. Success leaves clues—research and learn. A mindset against all odds will surmount every stonewall. Like Joseph, be that fruitful vine that goes over the wall. Recognize no boundaries. Leap!

WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP

DAYSTAR ANSWERS A MAJOR QUESTION BOTHERING LADIES IN GODLY RELATIONSHIPS Honest & Open Conversations With Pst. π’Ÿπ’Άπ“Žπ“ˆπ“‰π’Άπ“‡ π’₯π’žπ»π‘€ During one of those interesting panel conversations, an eye-opening and heart-stirring session as one panelist described it, thoughtful and practical questions were directed at Daystar on the discussion theme " WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP ".  Here, Pastor took the opportunity to narrow in on the balance between submission and respect from a woman and a man, respectively. And how this signals one's readiness for commitment — stating that the first step towards anything relationship : is "being honest with yourself", and not following the crowd into one of life's most important decisions, thus, the choice of love and romantic commitment. On the note of honesty, he sited an instance from a legend where an elephant and a mice were to cross a bridge. The mice couldn't proceed because it would fall through the...

AN UNDER-ACHIEVED PERSON IS NEVER AN AUTHORITY FOR YOU

  AN UNDER-ACHIEVED PERSON IS NEVER AN AUTHORITY FOR YOU  On the path to greatness there are lots of things you would have to face, but one of the things you must not face is public opinion about you, it ought not to mean anything to you, only God's word should mean everything to you.  Listen to your leader and to God, and let their words and report about you drown every other voice with Focus! One time my Pastor, Rev. Hutchison, said to me, and that was addressed directly, he stated : “sometimes the only way you master skill at a thing is by doing it continually”. Then I learnt you don't develop skill and excellence by listening to opinions, you develop skill by sticking to instructions and practice. Thus, by doing what you must do, regardless.  Let me make this very simple for you : “never respect, esteem or hold highly the words of people who have an opinion for you about something they haven't yet accomplished”. In your relation with such a person, you must consc...

THE MM DETOX, MOVIE & MEDIA

  THE MM DETOX, MOVIE & MEDIA  Daystar Shares His Personal Experience On,   DEALING WITH SUBTLE WORLDLINESS I am so glad because, as at 1st August (the date of this article), it's been over two months of no movies, series or anything "sensually entertaining". You may not understand the joy I have in me for having this experience. I practically lived on series to eat and rest.  Inasmuch as I made time for what mattered early on as a young minister, what majorly entertained me was movies and series, and I wouldn't mince words on that — the fact is, they kept my mind off what could be a bother to me, but that was not good enough an excuse, but I didn't know, and yes I've watched countless, you name it : but they're all vanity and destructive. They develop in you another character you can turn to when no one is watching. Sadly, I did not immediately notice the subtle communications and impact these contents had on me holistically. Not long ago, I mentione...
