Just BE Newsletter - Issue 03 - To be OR not to be?

Dear friend,
Everyday we are faced with challenges opposing our being. Circumstances tend to challenge us against becoming all that we are meant to be according to God's plan and purpose for our lives. But, no matter the circumstances, you can be all that you were designed to be.
Firstly, we must learn to always commit our ways to God and then trust Him to guide us step by step. Proverbs 16 verse 3 says, "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established" (KJV). There are many things we know, many we don't. Hence, as we walk through life in our quest for being, we must form a habit of always talking to God. He knows best. He will guide us. (Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 30:21; Proverbs 16:1-3).
Secondly, we must learn to have faith in ourselves. The Bible says, " I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13 KJV). Study yourself, know your passions, pursue them. They will make you a natural success. Take initiative! Make that phone call! Post that letter! Call that celebrity! Get that academic qualification! Take that overseas job offer! Just Do It! (Nike Corporation). You've got what it takes to fulfill your purpose! The world is waiting for you! JUST BE! (Psalms 139:14; Genesis 1: 26,27).
Thirdly, nothing grows in isolation. Jesus Christ had the 12; Paul the apostle had Timothy, Titus, Silvanus, Aquila, Priscilla etc. The law of association states that we naturally become like the people with whom we share intimate fellowship with (Proverbs 13:20). Have the right kinds of friends, mentors and relationships around you who would inspire you to succeed in your purpose at all times. Not friends who are jealous of you but true friends. I have a list of Top 10 Friends and Top 10 Mentors. These people have access to my life 24-7-365. They constantly inspire me to BE! I urge you to draw up your list and know your helpers on this road of BEING! It will help you a lot in life. (Proverbs 27 :17)
Friends, I must stop here. With these 3 keys I'm sure you indeed shall BE all you were meant to BE in God's plan and purpose for your life.
Stay blessed and JUST BE!
