If the answer is yes, then ask yourself some serious questions.
1) ?Do I know God?s will for my life Jonathan Toews Canada Jersey , or do I not have a clue what He?s created me for??
2) ?Do I have direction, or am I just wandering around aimlessly??
3) ?Do I know exactly what I want and how I?m going to get there, or do I just wait and see what?s going to happen??
4) ?Do I have goals, and if so, are they written down??
5) ?Am I confessing what God?s Word says about me daily John Tavares Canada Jersey , or do I even know any of God?s Word??
2 Corinthians 4:4 says, Satan has become the god of this world. If you live life passively, he will destroy you!
As Christians, we are just passing through and we must be like Jesus, completely focused on our mission. Too many Christians are confused because they do not have a clue as to why they are here. That?s why I always encourage people to get focused.
You are created with a purpose! You may say Joe Thornton Canada Jersey , ?I know, but I don?t know what my purpose is.? If that?s what you are saying, the devil has successfully faked you out.
God has a purpose for each person and I believe your purpose is in your interests! You will never be ultimately successful doing something you do not enjoy.
Is your work "just a job," or do you truly enjoy it? Ecclesiastes 2:24 says, ?Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink Jeff Carter Canada Jersey , and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor.?
So, ask yourself what it is that you like to do? Once you discover it, then do it with all your might. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, ?Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.?
It is vital that you know God?s will for your life. Things that are not God?s will for you get frustrating. They don?t manifest positive results because they are not part of God?s plan. In those cases you must be honest with yourself and stop pursuing those things.
But Jean Beliveau Canada Jersey , if you know with all your heart that God has spoken something to you, you must pursue it with everything you?ve got.
But, even though something is God?s will for your life does not mean that it will always come easy. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 16:9, ?A wide door of opportunity has opened unto me, and with it Jay Bouwmeester Canada Jersey , many adversaries.?
Unfortunately, the devil is not just going to sit by and watch as you become outrageously blessed. You would become a huge threat to his devious plans to mess up the lives of other people. So you becoming outrageously blessed would not be in the devil?s best interest and he knows it.
Now, the devil will bug you whether you?re successful or not. You might as well be successful, so get focused!
Ex-official in comeback with launch of E&P outfit to target West Africa

Rilwanu Lukman, the previous head of Opec and Nigeria's former presidential advisor on petroleum affairs Jamie Benn Canada Jersey , has teamed up with four other Africa 'hands' to build up a new E&P company whose initial focus will be on the Gulf of Guinea. Rilwanu Lukman, the previous head of Opec and Nigeria's former presidential advisor on petroleum affairs, has teamed up with four other Africa 'hands' to build up a new E&P company whose initial focus will be on the Gulf of Guinea.
Afren was registered at London's Companies House on 3 December 2004, more than one year after Lukman resigned - giving no reason - as advisor to Nigeria's President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Given Lukman's background and those of some other Afren investors, upstream targets in Nigeria - perhaps some of the marginal fields - will likely be on their radar.
Joining Lukman in Afren is Egbert Imomoh Jake Muzzin Canada Jersey , former deputy managing director of Shell Nigeria and head of Shell's external affairs program for community issues in the strife-torn Niger Delta; and Guy Pas, a Belgian national who was previously chief financial officer of Geneva-based oil trading-to-upstream group Addax & Oryx and is currently chairman of Mano River Resources, a publicly traded West African mineral resources company based in London.
Additional backers are Osman Shahenshah, a managing director of merchant bank Taylor-de-Jongh and also head of its London office who has experience in financing oil and gas projects in Africa; and Ethelbert Cooper, described as a Liberian entrepreneur with more than 20 years' involvement in African natural resources.
Taylor-de-Jongh is also acting as Afren's financial advisor.
