RUSH vs SPEED, THE DIFFERENCE - Elvira Jordan

 


RUSH vs SPEED, THE DIFFERENCE - Elvira Jordan

Good Morning Beloved!

I must admit that God has been exceptionally good to me in a special way. In my journey of going from nothing to becoming something, it has always been a story of “…thou prepared a table before me…” and it has been a great journey.

I won’t even dare to say that it has been easy because it has not. On my journey, I have hit the ground so many times. I have had it tough. I have fought through storms, dirt, deserts, wars and everything else. 

Most of my obstacles I would say were as a result of my own ego. Thinking that I was in control of my journey and what my life should be.  I had tried to work things out on my own and make things happen in places that were not meant for me, or at a time that wasn’t mine.

At a point in my life, there was this urge to make things happen fast. I started putting in more effort than required and in the process, I started making wrong decisions and desperate moves. 

Initially when you think you are in control, things begin to happen for you, and they happen really fast. It will look as if things are going well and your desperate moves are yielding results. That’s how the ego makes you feel. The ego wants to give you a ‘bragging right', to make you feel that you did it all on your own.

The ego pushes you to rush through everything, trample on people and ruin good relationships because it has a grandiose target it wants you to meet up with.

The trick about the journey of the ego is that it covers your destination with a cloud of “quick results”, until you wake up one day and realize that you have been moving so fast towards the WRONG DIRECTION. That’s what the rush of the ego does to you. 

Because you have been relying on your personal power, you find yourself taking decisions that may seem good to you but are not in alignment with your journey. Hence, the ego feeds you with wrong decisions that will pile up and accumulate until you are forced to pause, retrace your steps and return to your self.

It’s not about how fast you are going in life. The main question is “Are you going towards the right direction?” 

Unlike the ego, Spirit is never in a hurry. There’s no rush with the Divine. God is never in a haste to make anything work. He feeds your journey only with what is needed at the appropriate time. Every step clearly mapped out.

Walking your journey with God requires you to SURRENDER and understand that He has the blueprint to your life. While God makes all the decisions and brings all the opportunities to you, it’s up to you to take the required actions that will bring God’s plan to manifestation.

When working with Spirit, bridges are mended, new relationships are built, new strategies are employed. When these bridges, strategies and relationships are developed and utilized, YOU MOVE WITH A SPEED that neither you nor the world can understand. Because you are walking in alignment with the One Being that knows where you are heading.

Are you feeling pressured, strained and overwhelmed by your journey? You could be blindly following your ego. It’s time for you to take a pause, let go of the reins of control and just surrender. Allow the All-Knowing Master of the Universe to take over.

It’s not a matter of how fast you are going. The question is, ARE YOU GOING TOWARDS THE RIGHT DIRECTION? 
As you go about your day today, ponder on these words.

BIBLE VERSE: Proverbs 16:3
Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
    and he will establish your plans.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, let your Divine will for our lives rise above our personal wants. Guide us through your wisdom to achieve the highest heights of success, fulfillment and abundance. Amen 🙏🏽

Do have a Blessed Monday and a Successful Week ahead.

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...
