The Process Determines the Quality of the Product

David Adabale • Mar 30, 2019

Life is not about what we get, and how quickly we get it

"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

The processes that God allows are not focused on what we get and how quickly we get it, but what we become in the process. This is a new way of thinking contrary to popular culture, which focuses on the end result, but rarely on the journey or the sacrifice.

We can always lose what we get, but we never lose what we become

And whatever God works out in you, cannot be lost. Nothing can take that experience away from you. That is why the Bible says, He is able to do more than we can ever ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

Life is what we become in the process

Question: when Joseph dreamed about his glorious future, did he know he was going to experience a tough journey to get there? He only saw the positive future, but it required a Joseph that was big enough to handle it. If God has given you a vision of your future, and it is beyond your capacity now, be prepared that God will enable you to grow into the role. Not only will you live in the reality of your vision, but you will also be a stronger person - A Diamond Believer, knowing that it was only God that empowered you. A future that will cause you to say, "Come and see what…the Lord has done."

For us to experience the future that God has for us and be the Diamond Believer that He intends for us to be, we must release ourselves to the methods of God. We must release ourselves to go through the necessary process.

Through the process, you will encounter God's provision during the depth, the pressure, and the heat. When we submit ourselves to the dealings of God, we receive joy in the depths of His presence and strength to handle the pressures of life. The heat of adversity will not burn you but will purify you.

Whatever stage of the process you find yourself in, don't despair! Have hope that God is working everything together for your good. You have a glorious future ahead of you because you are a Diamond Believer. You will not cave under the pressure. You will not buckle in the mist of the heat, and you will not evaporate in the depths, but you will get stronger daily in the presence of God and in the power of His might. Like David you can say, "For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall” (Psalm 18:29). By faith, David declared that God would help him overcome every challenge. Faith is the evidence of your hope that all things are working together for your good. You are a Diamond Believer.

So be encouraged, whatever challenge you are doing through. Know that the process is working towards increasing your value.

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship),recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC)

I will rest and not stress

By David Adabale • 14 Jun, 2021

I have discovered that the pressures of life are inevitable by stress is optional. So, what is the difference between stress and pressure. Pressure is what happens on the outside due to external factor e.g. people’s expectation, reality of your situations and the fact of your circumstance based on your 5 senses – however, stress is an internal conflict as a result of the gap between what your 5 senses present to you and what your inner conviction expect to be your reality. Also, stress is a decision. I’m reminded of a saying by that “Indecision is also a decision; you are just letting someone else make that decision for you”. Listen to this audio to inspire you on how to rest and not stress

Making the most of your treasures

By David Adabale • 14 Mar, 2021

I want you to know that God as invested a lot in you and he’s looking at getting return on his investment. The only way to give him the return on his investment is to be faithful with what he has given you. I call this ‘consistently faithful stewardship’. That is what the bible passage in Matthew 25:14-30 is all about. One of my great teacher and former boss, Pastor Michael Olawore of blessed memory told me of a story about a man who worked for a privately owned construction company: H e had been with his boss for a while, managed several projects and made a lot of money. He is known to do his work with excellence and building house for his boss to a high quality. After a while, his boss was advancing in age, his boss bought thought about how to reward him and release him. So, his boss called him and told him that his next building project will be the final one for the boss and the boss will release him. So, he was given all the money required to build a top notch high quality house Guess what the servant did, he compromised on the quality of the building, he kept some money back and used inferior materials to build the house because he thought, this is his only chance to make money off his boss When the work was completed, he gave the key to the completed house to his boss. The boss thanked him for his years of service and handed the key of the house back to the servant, that the house was for the servant, that was why he (the boss) requested that it must be the best quality house The servant thought to himself, I should have just been faithful with what I was given because it does come back and hurt you if you are not faithful Our faithfulness on the current level qualifies us for abundance in the next. Therefore, in order for us to have a happy new year indeed, we need to be faithful with the treasures God has given us. To do this, you need to have 3 mind sets : 1. Recognise that you don’t own anything, they are all a loan 2. There is nothing at your disposal that is an end in itself, it’s a means to an end 3. Every treasure you have is for an assignment So how do we make the most of our treasures, by being intentional in the we : 1. Make it 2. Manage it 3. Multiply it Listen to more on this podcast

Can I ask you a question? Why does a boat sink? Does a boat sink because the boat is in water or does a boat sink because water gets into the boat? Of course, the boat sinks because water gets into the boat.

Over time I discovered that to overcome depression, I had to look beyond myself and reach out to others. I use the tool of my time and my talent to serve other people. Through that, it emerged that I had grace or at least a gift of encouraging people.
