Romans 4:13
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross... taking the curse on our behalf... we have become blessed with the blessing of Abraham.... and this blessing is bestowed on us as we become believers of Jesus Christ.... now we can live in hope and expectancy in looking forward... for hope does not disappoint bcos of the love of God that has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.... So whatever trial you are facing now... you can hope and believe that as trial produces perseverance... perseverance... character.... and hope does not disappoint... means the promise of being an heir of the world... will manifest... openly... cos you are the heir of the world even in this situation you are in... and as you believe and trust in God... the promise will manifest in time....
Romans 4:20
He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

called, chosen, faithful
Psalm 78:70-72
He also chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; from following the ewes that had young He brought him, to shepherd Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance. So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
God is omnipresent and knows everything...

Our talents and abilities from God can bring us toward great men.... these talents and giftings are irrevocable...

Priority
1Tim3:4-5
one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)
God has ordained priority for our life... Priority one is God... priority two is family.... priority three is the house of God.... christians often make the mistake of putting GOd's house before their own house.... this is a mistake.... thinking by building God's house.. God wld build their household... this is not true... God wants us to provide for our family and rule our household well before we become leaders in His house....
2Thess3:10
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
God's pattern of blessing is to put Him first... take care of our family... rule it well.. and then take care of the house of God...

Brotherhood
Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born adversity.
We must always treasure people who have went the extra mile for us.... there many friends we can have but most are acquaintances.... but the value of a brother is much higher.... in life we may not have so many.... yet God wants us to treasure them... never take them for granted... and be there for them in their most difficult time... the sad truth is we only want to be there for people in their success yet when they go thru the fiery trial we often let them go to go thru alone.... if you want to have friends... you must learn to be a friend... and crisis brings out the true nature of the friendship.... and its not wrong to have many friends or many acquaintances.... but GOd wants to give you close brothers that would stand with you in adversity... meanwhile we must learn to be a brother in someone elses adversity...
Proverbs 18:24
A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

X-Factor
Proverbs 31:10
Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
1Peter 3:4
rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of GOd.
Proverb 19:14
Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
