"ACT WITH URGENCY".
“…Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead” (2 Kings 9: 1).
In our Scripture, Elisha told one of the sons of the prophets to gird up his loins and go to Ramothgilead for an assignment. Girding up one’s loins in Old Testament times involved tucking in long robes into a waist girdle in order to give the feet more freedom to move; it was needed when one needed to move fast. So, Elisha simply instructed the trainee prophet to get ready to move fast.
A journey was about to be undertaken, and Elisha seemed to say that the journey needed urgency. Something needed to be achieved, and Elisha seemed to say that there was no time to waste. Elisha inferred that speed was needed in the journey.
Friend, God says, you need speed in your destiny race. Take your decisions with speed; act fast; take whatever steps you need to take with a sense of urgency; approach your assignments with more speed; run towards your achievements; run your race like one who has no time to waste. If you keep wasting your time in life, be sure that not everyone is wasting time like you; if you keep procrastinating the steps you need to take now, you may discover later that you have missed your best chance to take a good shot; if you approach your opportunities too slowly, someone else might overtake you and take what would have been yours.
Running your race with urgency means you need to forgo anything that can reduce your speed; urgency means you understand that time waits for no one, but those who use time judiciously will have something to show for their time. Don’t reduce your speed because of people who see no need for speed in their own race. Stop procrastinating; act fast, act with urgency.
Pray With Me: Lord, I choose to run my race with urgency, in Jesus’ name!
Have A Splendid Thursday!

4 WIVES This is something to think about: 4 WIVES
Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives.
He loved the 4th wife the most and adored her with rich
robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave
her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always
showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared
that one day she would leave him for another.
He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was
always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the
King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would
help him get through the difficult times.
The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made
great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom.
However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved
him deeply, he hardly took notice of her!
One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short.
He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, I now have
four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone."
Thus, he asked the 4th wife , "I loved you the most,
endowed
you with the finest clothing and showered great care over
you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me
company?"
"No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked away
. without another word.
Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.
The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I loved you all my
life. Now that I'm dying,will you follow me and keep me
company?"
"No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good!
When you die, I'm going to remarry!"
His heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always
turned to you for help and you've always been there for me.
When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the
2nd wife. "At the very most,I can only walk with you to
your grave."
Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and the
King
was devastated. Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you.
I'll follow you no matter where you go."
The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was
very skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect.
Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much
better care of you when I had the chance!"
In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:
Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and
effort
we lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when we
die.
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.When we
die, it will all go to others.
Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much
they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by
us is up to the grave.
And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of
wealth, power and pleasures of the world.
However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us
where ever we go.Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now,
for it is the only part of us that will follow us to the
throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity.
Thought for the night:Remember, when the world pushes you to
your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray. May God answer our prayers (amin)
Pass this on to someone you care about - I just did.����

KEYS TO GREATNESS
Memorise: For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37
Read: Psalm 103:1-5
1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Message
God the Almighty is the source of greatness. To achieve greatness, you should please God. However it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is therefore the master key to greatness (Mark 11:22-24). Faith is built up by the constant hearing of God’s word (Romans 10:17). Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, David, Jesus Christ and Paul all had unshakeable faith in God on their way to greatness. Faith in God is the eternal elixir which gives life, power and action to the impulse of thought. Faith in God is the only known antidote for failure. Faith in God contains the seeds of achievement and greatness. God has promised us greatness and His promises for us are yea and Amen. Have faith and plug into this promise. Don’t quit even if there are minor delays or you run into seasons of contradiction (Habakkuk 2:2-4). The just shall become great by his faith.
Having faith in God helps you not to consider the weather or prevailing economy before you sow your seed or give to God (Ecclesiastes 11:1-4). Fruitless people are stingy people. Stinginess, especially with God can never lead to greatness. Patience is another ingredient of greatness. This means waiting on the Lord for His time to come to pass. Joseph waited for 13 years, Moses waited for 40 years while Jesus waited for 30 years. God has a reason for His timing. It might take long but it will surely happen if God has ordained it (Hebrews 10:35-39). The time of waiting is a time of preparation (2 Chronicles 27:6). Preparation precedes greatness. You don’t become a boxing champion overnight, neither do you become an anointed great man of God in one day. Greatness that comes suddenly or that is gotten by surprise will be lost suddenly by surprise. Watch out for those who manipulate their way into occupying an office, especially in the ministry of the gospel. If you don’t wait for your time patiently, you might become great, but your crash from greatness will equally be great. Greatness comes to people who maintain a good attitude in the period of waiting. You must have an attitude that believes that with God all things are possible. In addition, you should honour God. Recognising the source of greatness helps you to get connected to its source. All those who were divinely connected in the Bible ended up as great people. Recognising the source of greatness helps you to tap into the covenant of grace, wisdom, empowerment, humility and anointing for greatness (Genesis 41:16). Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, Jesus, Paul and all those who recognized God as the Source of greatness and gave Him the glory ended up being great. You can also do the same.
Action Point: God has made every provision in His plan for you to be great. Do not write yourself off. Choose not to remain small.

The greatest tragedy in life is not death but life that fails to fulfill its purpose and potentials.
