Personal Finance: Lessons My Driver Taught Me  Mr Biliaminu Lawal was one of the pool drivers in the bank I worked for circa 2005. He was humble to a fault and always called everyone, 'Oga mi' (my boss).

You may think you’re falling behind; you could never accomplish what God put in your heart; it’s too late. Stay encouraged. God knows how to make up for lost time.

You have a purpose; you have an assignment. There is a calling on your life. You’re not just filling up space; you’re a person of destiny. Be inspired by this message from Joel, "You're Still Going to Get There". Check it out here: bit.ly/JOAPodcast

We serve a big God. He flung stars into space; He spoke worlds into existence. He can get you to where you’re supposed to be. Tune into Joel’s new message today! "Keep on Walking" bit.ly/JOAPodcast

God has not failed in the past; He’s not going to start with you. Keep on walking, believing, praying, doing the right thing. Waters are about to part, doors are about to open, problems are about to turn around.

Quit telling yourself, “I can’t do this. It’s too early; it’s too hard. I’ve had too many setbacks.” You can do what you want to do. Don’t miss your destiny because you didn’t want it bad enough.

God never promised things would turn around instantly and come to pass in two weeks. Sometimes, there will be a waiting period. Don’t be impatient; God rewards faithful people that keep doing the right thing.

To see promises come to pass, you have to keep traveling steadily. You have to do the right thing when nobody is watching; you have to be your best when you’re not getting the credit; you have to thank God even though doors aren’t opening.

What God has spoken over you will come to pass. There are some things, even if you don’t believe, God is still going to do. He is so merciful, so loving, that He’s going to override your unbelief and do things that you never dreamed.

Glory means honor, favor, influence. We like those things, but we don’t always realize there’s a weight that comes with favor, a weight that comes with influence. If you’re not prepared for it, the favor won’t be a blessing; it will be a burden.

Every thought may tell you, “It’s permanent; it’s never going to change.” But God is saying to you today, “I’m going to do it quickly. It’s going to happen suddenly.” Click here to watch, "It's Going to Happen Quickly": YouTube.com/JoelOsteen

You may have situations that look like they’ll never work out. If you only consider the circumstances, you’ll get discouraged and give up. Don’t consider your circumstances; consider your God.

When you make decisions that honor God, when you’re generous, when you’re faithful, your life is not only going to be more rewarding, more fulfilling, but that faithfulness and obedience is being credited to your children, to future generations.

“Opportunity is a haughty goddess who wastes no time with those who are unprepared” (George S. Clason in “The Richest Man in Babylon”).

Get your hopes up. Start expecting abundant rain. Get ready for overflow. God is about to exceed your expectations. You’re coming out of the dry place into more than enough.

You only have so much emotional energy each day. Do you know how much energy it takes to hold a grudge, to be bitter, to think about how you can pay somebody back? That’s wasting valuable energy you need for dreams, for your family, for your destiny.

Stay on the high road. Let God be your vindicator. Let Him pay your enemies back. He sees what’s happening. He sees every injustice, every hurt, every wrong. If you’ll leave it up to God, He’ll vindicate you better than you can vindicate yourself.

You don’t have to impress people to feel good about yourself. You don’t have to outperform, be more successful. Don’t look to the left or to the right. Focus on what you’re called to do. Check out "Nothing to Prove" on Podcast here! bit.ly/JOAPodcast
