WE ALWAYS RISE - Elvira Jordan



WE ALWAYS RISE - Elvira Jordan

Good Morning Beloved! 😊

I was having a conversation with someone a few days back and it’s funny how I was pondering on similar thoughts before her messages came in. 

I was reliving some aspects of my life and I honestly didn’t have anything to say to myself. But when someone else shared a very similar story, one full of regrets, shame and loss, I could understand how she got to such state of mind, one that I don’t entertain for myself or anyone around me. As she shared her story, clarity came to me as I also poured out from my own well of strength.

Far from living in the past, sometimes we just can’t shake off the urge to look back into our past and identify areas where we have made mistakes, opportunities we have lost, decisions we took that went south and how much time we have wasted. 

One who is honest with themselves will know where they may have had it wrong, and only such honesty can propel us to the necessary changes we need in our lives.

However, for my friend who chatted me up to offload her issues, it wasn’t a problem of the past, it was about how to move forward after time lost and years wasted. As I spoke to her, it came to me, I also spoke to myself.

If we could go back in time with this knowledge and maturity we have now, we probably would do things differently. But then, we would have lost the good-bad experiences and missed out on the lessons learnt. We wouldn’t really be the people we are today.

How could we have known what was the right step to take? When we are not sooth sayers, neither can we predict the future. If we were born with a manual, a text guide or maybe terms and conditions of life, we would have all lived excellently. 

We would have been able to adjust our actions based on the outcomes we already know… In a game where you can always go back and undo mistakes, we will all be winners, won’t we?

And if we received “terms and conditions” before coming to earth, a lot of us would have willed not to be here at all. Then how can we experience life as it is?

Now that we are here, we have to take advantage of it and make the best that we can. Every wrong step and poor decision we have learnt from has pushed us to another stage where people who have never fallen may never reach.

If we fall 1,189 times, we will get up 1,189 times and keep moving. We don’t have the time to sit around and weep over the loses of the past. We are done licking our wounds. 

We will rise up and keep going.
It is only by moving we get to our destination.
No time is too late to start.
No fall is too severe to recover from.
No step is too big to take.

We face one day at a time, every day with a new resilience, strength from our previous falls, wisdom from our experiences, a tough skin from all the bruises we have healed.

These will be the food to our body, fuel to our engine, bullets for our guns, fire to our souls and ink to our pens with which we are rewriting our new story.

Don’t waste another time on the ground by asking the ground why, or wondering how you got there.

We keep rising.
We always rise. 

BIBLE VERSE: Psalm 37:23-24

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, we declare today that every positive word, action or effort we put into our lives will yield goodness, prosperity and success. Amen 🙏🏽 

Do have a Blessed Monday and a Successful Week ahead. 

Let’s do business in June. Please read 👇🏽

DREAMS AND VISIONS ARE FREE - Elvira Jordan

DREAMS AND VISIONS ARE FREE - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved 😊 A few days ago, I stumbled on a video where Apostle Femi Lazarus spoke about “Seeing” and it inspired my message today. Even as a child, I have always lived in a fantasy world and sometimes I feel like I take the fantasy thing too far because at some point, everything around me could be on fire and I will just create an alternate reality in my head where I am dancing in the snows. Everyone else could be worried or fearful about a dire situation and I will just picture  the best possible outcome of that situation and allow myself to remain there, while others bugger their minds off on how serious the matter is. Some people have always seen my view as “Toxic Positivity” and that has never been a problem to me. There are times when I would agree that I took the dreaming thing too far, but more often than not, it was the ideal thing for me because while others are worked up over the situation and worried sick about a p...

Tackling Violence and Criminality in the Niger Delta with Television Designed Content; A SEARCH Initiative

In a bid to tackle violence and criminality in the Niger Delta, Search for Common Ground and its consortium of partners have introduced several components that examine the role of the government and government institutions, security agencies, community representatives, civil society organizations and the media, to foster an inclusive approach in creating a new face for the Niger Delta. Due to its wealth in natural resources, the need for resource control has generated decades long battle that have defaced the oil rich region, even as the communities and people of the Niger Delta strive towards peaceful coexistence, to drive peace and progress in the region. For this cause, SEARCH in collaboration with Foundation for Partnership in the Niger Delta (PIND) and Stakeholders Democracy Network (SDN) embarked on a peace building project which was funded by the European Union with the theme, “A Community Centered Approach To Transforming Violence And Criminality In The Niger Delta” which...
