SECRETS OF HAPPY PEOPLE

True happiness comes only from God. It locates those who find joy in obeying His laws. The benefits enjoyed by these set of happy people are;
  1. They are like trees that grow beside a stream. They grow "green leaves"  in all ramifications of their life.
  2. They bear fruits at the right time. That is, they live a productive life.
  3. Their 'leaves' do not dry up, i.e. their source of production (inspiration, academic excellence, finance, energy, wisdom, knowledge e.t.c) never dries up.
  4. They succeed in everything they do.
These set of people are SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE!!!

THE TRUTH ABOUT GRATITUDE


Appreciating a kind hearted person or being thankful for a gesture, help or assistance is one major aspect of life some have ignorantly paid less attention to. The Yoruba philosophy; “a person that appreciates the good deeds of today will automatically receive another” is one aged long idea about gratitude but surprisingly, it really does not work that way. There’s quite more to it.

The truth is gratitude (saying “THANK YOU”) should not be bestowed only to man but principally to God. He is the one who can use anyone to provide that want you had longed for. Take for instance, when you were in daring need of that admission into the high school, college or university; was it man you prayed to or God? Now you understand better.

So, why won’t you give Him the first Thank you, that solemn heart of gratitude or that joyful heart of praise? He should be the first and anyone else can follow.

Again, consider this scene in your mind; a prisoner who had being I detention for close to twelve years praying to God for mercy suddenly regains his freedom. What do you think would be the first sentence he would voice out? “Thank you Lord”, I suppose.

So, you see if a man who had been in long suffering can actually acknowledge God first by saying “Thank you Lord”, then why would you who received at ease deny God of that first heart of appreciation?

Here is a brief description of the benefits associated to thanking God first:
G – GIVES YOU THE
R – RIGHT ROOM FOR RETURNS
A – AND
T – TAKES/LEADS YOU INTO
E – ENORMOUS/PLENTY
F – FRUITS FROM
U – UNIVERSAL
L - LEVELS 

The illustration above simply means; when you acknowledge God first for any gesture, breakthrough, success, deliverance, assistance, it gives you the right room for returns (i.e. you gain more of good tidings) and this would automatically take or lead you into enormous or plenty fruits (i.e. you get or receive more divine blessings) from universal levels (i.e. you get favoured from all walks of life, either from the young or old).

Would you rather say a BIG THANK YOU TO GOD TODAY?
