      Life Lifters - Jonathan T. Olakunle

      Firstly, I dedicate this work to Father, Pa Moses Ojedokun Alabi.

      I learnt so much of life lifting words, anecdotes, wise saying, biblical illustrations, and narrative stories from him.

      These form the foundation for my interest in inspirations words, thoughts, pictures, and arts in my life.

      Secondly, I dedicate this work to blessed memory of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. He was an enthusiastic man of God who happened to be my mentor by proxy, and whose inspirational thoughts, insights, and words have given me much lifts in life.

      Preface

      The inspiration for the anthological collation of words of faith, hope, encouragement, inspiration, and insights for supernatural living came to me as a result of a gift of a Bible given to me by a church where I served as a Pastor for about two years.

      The church arranged for a send-forth program for my family during which the Bible was presented to me as a gift. The Bible turns out to be a great and cherished gift to me because of the following reasons.

      Dr. Norman Vincent Peale [late] wrote some inspirational messages in the Bible. I have read the celebrated book of Dr. Peale titled ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’. The faith lessons in the book and in this Bible gift have been helping me in my Christian life and journey. In addition, Dr. Peale was the Publisher of a mini-size Magazine title ‘Plus’. I subscribed for that magazine as far back as 1985. This Magazine has been great source of inspiration to me as well. I still have some of old copies in my shelf at home.

      Life Lifters are gleaned from different inspirational thoughts and materials; Positive Thinking Bible, Plus Magazine, and other sources are inclusive in this compilation.

      It is my prayer and hope that as these thoughts are put together, it will bless the readers as they have done to me in the past and up until now.

      Acknowledgement

      I acknowledge the Most High God, the Creator of all things, the Ruler, Redeemer, and the Sustainer of all things. The Giver of wisdom, knowledge, understanding and strength to do all good works, to the praise and glory of his name.

      I would love to acknowledge Dr. Normal Vincent Peale [late], from whose literatures I learnt many inspiration ideas and writings. I was like a member of his church in proxy.

      I want to thank all who have been source of inspiration to me all my life.

      Short Words of Faith, Hope, Encouragements, and Inspirations

      One of the greatest moments in anybody’s developing experience is when he has no longer tries to hide himself, but determines to be acquainted with him as he really is.

      ----------------------------------

      Trust God and live a day at a time.

      ----------------------------------

      Learn to let God run your life; you will like the results better than your own self-management.

      ----------------------------------

      Do not ask a person to be what he or she is not. Do not ask or expect from a person what he cannot give.

      ----------------------------------

      Let God help you try. Experts are made by this procedure.

      ----------------------------------

      Help other people to cope with their problems, and your own will be easier to cope with.

      ----------------------------------

      Believe that all the resources you need are in your mind. That formula really works.

      ----------------------------------

      Always affirm there is an answer to any problem and that you can find it; indeed that you are now finding that answer.

      ----------------------------------

      Picture yourself as the kind of person you wish to be, affirm that you are that, and then practice being it.

      ----------------------------------

      Do your best and leave the results to God.

      ----------------------------------

      At least ten times every day affirm, I expect the best, and with God’s help will attain the best.

      ----------------------------------

      Pray big; God will grant big things if you ask for them and are big enough to receive them.

      ----------------------------------

      Faith is the most powerful of all forces operating in humanity, and when you have it in depth, nothing can get you down. Nothing!

      ----------------------------------

      People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves, they have the first secret of success.

      ----------------------------------

      A clean mind always delivers power.

      Realize that you can, of yourself, do much to make yourself a healthy and alive individual.

      ----------------------------------

      Miracles come in all sizes. In addition, if you start believing in little miracles you can work up to the bigger ones.

      ----------------------------------

      It‘s always too soon to quit.

      ----------------------------------

      Stress the thought of plenty. Thoughts of plenty help create plenty.

      ----------------------------------

      The relax person is the powerful person.

      ----------------------------------

      If there is no fun in it, something is wrong with all you are doing.

      ----------------------------------

      Faith plus dynamic dreams plus real working at it is a go-ahead formula that gets you where you want to go.

      ----------------------------------

      Becoming a specialist in doing the wholly impossible, the things that can’t be done.

      ----------------------------------

      Take pleasure in the pattern of the sunlight falling through the trees or the sound of the crunch of snow under your foot. Relish these things which are the essence of life and they will make your heart sing within you.

      ----------------------------------

      There is only one real security in this world, only one; identification of the soul with the ultimate reality—God, our Refuge and Strength.

      Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
