The Right Attitude

It's said that "Your Attitude Determine Your Altitude"

This is a fact and truth as old as time itself

So much have been said about "Having The Right Attitude During Trying Times"

But

Have you asked yourself

What is the right attitude when breakthrough comes?

What disposition is acceptable to God? And

Why some people only experience a "once in a lifetime breakthrough"?

Ponder on this

You, as a parent, bought your son a posh ride as his 18th birthday Gift

Because he has been an outstanding child

And almost immediately, he deviates from the good path

Clubbing and keeping late nights with a lousy disposition

What will you do?

I would either retrieve the car or

Ensure that the car is the last extravagant gift he gets from me in his lifetime.

If i would behave that way, how do you think God feels when he blesses you and

You, in sharing your testimony, makes it as self gratifying as you can

To whom are you giving the glory for breakthrough experienced?

Yourself? Your Denomination/Church? Your Pastor? Your Qualifications, Training, skill or effort?

Then when the blessings vanish from your hands

You turn around and blame everyone around you

Not knowing that in your jubilating mood, you shot yourself in the foot

(Read the story of Nebuchadnezzar - Daniel 4)

Some even mock others in their testimony

But

The group that give me the creeps is

Those who want the victory without the battle

Desire the end product but dread the process

Sounds crazy right?

Have you not seen one who

Celebrates his admission but complains about Lectures, assignments and exams?

Celebrates his promotion/new job but complain of workload?

Celebrates and Thanks God for his wedding but lusts after everything in skirt?

Joyful about getting pregnant, after years of praying & fasting but

complains about the stages of pregnancy and pain of labour?

I believe that your true perception of something shows when it is not convenient

Therefore,

You cannot appreciate something so much that you despise it the very next moment

Be so grateful about something one moment and complain about it at the next

Every gift from God is perfect and adds NO SORROW

Therefore, sorrowing about God's gift is telling him that

you perceive it to be a punishment, obstacle or challenge but definitely not a gift!

Anticipating the end product, while accepting, appreciating and enduring the process,

Giving glory to GOD ALONE in recognition that all other efforts are futile and

Humility, moderation and consideration for those in their waiting period

while celebrating your breakthrough is the right attitude

and can only position you for greater feats in Life.

The future is brighter than whatever light you are seeing now

Don’t cast darkness over yours through your attitude

when your breakthrough comes
