THE GOOD NEWS BEARER 

"What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops." ~ Matthew 10:27

Deborah O Daniel (Toyin).png

Deborah O Daniel (Toyin) is an Evangelist and a Christian Writer. She grew up in a strict religious household but found Christ on her own, when it became clear to her that she had no relationship whatsoever with Him in spite of her strict upbringing and had no purpose in life. Deborah surrendered her life to Christ in 1992 but kept running from her calling owing to the severe trials she faced and the cares of the world, until she had a personal encounter with Him years later.  She steps out of her comfort zone as led to fulfill her calling. She also speaks openly about her childhood difficulties and the struggles she has had in life, to testify of the mercy of God and His awesome power. For more messages and a heart talk on living a fulfilled life in Christ, get the book, Walk the Winning Walk - free and available to new believers in Christ, from Divine Literature International.

IS IT WRONG TO DESIRE TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

It is not wrong to desire to be successful for the right reasons. God is not against success (success in every sense - not necessarily materially). The truth really, is that He does not support laziness. This is made evident by His wondrous works. He expects us to be like Him - outstanding. Certain verses in the Bible also speak about laziness and its consequences.

God encourages us to be excellent at what we do, and bear fruit. He wants each of us to be a blessing to others. The devil, however, is not interested in good success, and will do anything to cut it short. One way he does that is to give a person Self-Made or Demi-god traits, by which the person fails to honour and acknowledge God in his ways. This is why many of those the world calls, stars, shine for a while, and then go dim. The health of some failed them, while some left us too soon. Many of them are also battling addiction, and some have completely lost it. It was not meant to be so. You can shine for Jesus Christ, and continue to shine till it’s time to say, Good-Bye to planet earth.

You need Jesus Christ to sustain whatever it is that you have achieved, else it will disappear right before your eyes. The wolves (wicked ones) of the world will not let you enjoy it. Christ holds all things together (Colossians 1:17), and it is through Him that we have access to the Father, who gives blessings devoid of pain and suffering (John 14:6, Proverbs 10:22, James 1:17, Ephesians 2:18). Surrender all to Jesus Christ today, and begin to shine for Him!


Firmly in His Grip,

Deborah O Daniel (Toyin)
