LAMABE INITIATIVE

You are not what people think you are, you are not what people say you are, you are not what your parents, society, tribe or community portray you to be. You are not what the circumstances or situations in your life make you to be. You are not what your education level made you to be, you are not your social class level. You are not your skin. Time to time people struggle with their identity, trying to find out who they really are. They have tried to become a lot like their friends, family or even society but somehow within them, there is a void. Many have tried to fill this void with all sorts of things, change their skin color, attain wealth in not so good ways, get college degrees, changing where they live, what they wear, how they talk, who they mingle with just but to name a few but all this never fills that void. I believe you have come across statements like "i need time to go find myself" the question is where do we lose ourselves? We are all born in society t...

Have you ever noticed that if one thing goes wrong you often feel like the world has just turned its back on you? We tend to magnify, over-think and exaggerate our problem’s so much that the possibility of handling them or even overcoming them is zero. Well I made a discovery of a certain mind game the devil plays with our minds and sadly we allow him play the game on us through our thinking.  Note, before we are even born our full plan of life is with God, he knows our end from the beginning “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and future” Jeremiah 29:11 Our life plan is with God no one knows our tomorrow but Him alone, wouldn’t it be just wise to submit our lives to him being the beginning and the end of our life?  When we are born the enemy, gets a grip of how great we are going to become and so he works out his plans to make sure that this does not happen. Moses was born a ...

When you were born they called you a baby but God called you a purpose. We were all created for something and to do something; inside of each one of us lays a seed of greatness. No one can bring this greatness out of you apart from yourself; no one can accomplish and fulfill your purpose for you if not you.  I have discovered that the fastest way of one failing is asking and letting people do things for them instead of doing them by themselves and when they are not satisfied with the outcome they begin to complain and curse for the outcome does not match what they had in mind. There can never be another you whether you like it or not, you are unique and that means no one carries the same vision as you but you, so to achieve your dreams you have to wake up and do it yourself and quit blame game. Failure and success begins with you. You have to build the foundation yourself. There can never be another you, we are unique & different from each other so create what you want to se...

STEP ON!!! October 16, 2014   #beencouraged In life things happen, a lot which we cant control whether good or bad,sweet or sour who stays or who goes, what stays and what doesn’t. As human beings we tend to focus mostly on the past things which bring the “i wish” or “what if”  so, our today becomes consumed by our yesterday and by the time we want to get back to our feet you find that the people you started with have already made it or are making it in life. Things happen by why let it define who you are? The past will always bring out who you were but will not give you a chance to better yourself  but the present will give you a chance to become better for tomorrow therefore refuse to be intimidated by situations that happened in your life,the disease you have been suffering from don’t let it define who you are or bring you down, the relationship you have been in, the kind of family you have grown up with,the neighborhood, the grade you got in school, where yo...

NOT AGAIN!!! October 22, 2014   #beencouraged A couple of years back I was down in pain, I was hurt, I felt my dreams were shuttered, I didn't think I would survive. I needed friends but my then friends left me cause they thought I was a bother & was looking for attention or sympathy or pity…. It was darkness all around me, I wept day in day out. I cried for help but none was coming to my aid. I whispered to myself “you are all alone be strong” and I decided to stand up, it was hard, my heart was heavy, my bones were worn out, my legs were shaking oh my I couldn’t stand but I tried as hard as I could each time I couldn’t. I fell each time I would try, I fumbled my way up, I staggered my dear but I managed to get up but I couldn’t move. I was so burdened by everything and a lot of question went through my head,WHY me?? WHO did I wrong?? WHAT did I do?? WHY am I even alive ETC but no one to answer but me. But I realized getting up was not all,  I needed to forget &...

WHAT IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES!!!??? November 5, 2014   #beencouraged Isn’t funny how we tend to postpone things to a Tomorrow that never arrives? We want to excel so badly but we never want to start working towards that which we want. We are related to a story in the bible of Pharaoh when he was asked by Moses when do you want me to pray for you for the frogs to go and he stupidly answered pray for me tomorrow (Exodus 8:8-10). It beats my logic how you would want something SO BAD, but you still wait till tomorrow? What if that tomorrow never comes? Will people look at your life and be proud of you? Or will they see a failure whom they won’t even waste time remembering for he/she gave nothing that can remembered? Will you be happy to look back and point out things you achieved or you will just be disappointed at yourself? If tomorrow never shows up will you have achieved even quarter of the big dreams you have, take a look at yourself now and examine yourself, what so fa...
