THOUGHTFUL NARRATIVES
Senior Pastor Daniel O. C. | May 22, 2026
Beloved Saint of God Most High,
Calvary greetings to you and yours in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen!
May the Lord God Almighty bless you with a wonderful and glorious Christ-centred weekend ahead in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
“Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it alone” (Proverbs 9:9-12)
Teach a wise man what is right and he’ll grow even wiser. Instruct the lovers of God and they’ll learn even more.
The starting point for acquiring wisdom is to be consumed with awe as you worship Yahweh.
To receive the revelation of the Holy One, you must come to the one who has living understanding.
Wisdom will extend your life, making every year more fruitful than the one before. So, it is to your advantage to be wise. But to ignore the counsel of wisdom is to invite trouble into your life.
THOUGHTFUL NARRATIVES
Laziness kills ambition.
Anger kills wisdom.
Fear kills dreams.
Ego kills growth.
Jealousy kills peace.
Doubt kills confidence.
Now read the above from right to left also.
True success is when someone else can stand taller because of you, Amen!
Before you grind, give thanks. Gratitude sharpens the vision, praise the Lord!
Growth is all about choosing rooms that stretch you, not the ones that clap for your comfort.
The mind is like a garden; if you do not plant flowers in it, weeds will grow, so be thoughtful!
Life is like a coin. Pleasure and pain are the two sides. Only one side is visible at a time but remember that the other side is waiting for its turn.
No poison can kill a positive mind in Christ and no medicine can save a negative one. Your mindset shapes your life.
When you obsess over what people say about you, you miss what you need to say to yourself that Jesus is Lord.
Burn every bridge that leads you back to all those habits that were not helping you grow in Christ Jesus.
REMEMBER,
Life is like a pack of cards without Christ Jesus.
When you are in love, it’s heart.
When you are engaged, it’s diamond.
When you are married, it’s club.
When you are dead, it’s spade.
The scariest place to be is stuck where you were last year. Life will not wait. Make moves your future self will thank you for.
There is a fundamental difference between a life that looks good and a life that feels good.
Some people have impressive resumes and empty souls. Others have modest achievements and deep fulfillment.
The scoreboard is not always the score, but God is good.
Let your goals scare you a little and excite you a lot for it is the Lord’s doing.
Never seek revenge! Rotten fruit will fall by itself.
Somebody shout, “GLORY TO GOD MOST HIGH!”
Remain blessed and rapturable,
Yours to reach this generation with the Gospel,
Dr. Daniel O. C.
