“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.” (Luke 2:13-14.) Jesus was born to transform our lives of struggling and oppression into a life of wonder and glory. It was the beginning of the redemption plan, the love of the Father towards His children. Luke 19:10 states, “the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” God’s strategy was to undo the consequence of man’s fall from glory by redeeming us from the curse that came on man in the Garden of Eden due to sin. Jesus was given as a gift to humanity to redeem them back to right standing with God. We pray that the joy, peace and fulfilment this season brings will be your experience forever. Remember You are Valuable Today your story is changing from this moment onwards!

ou stand in the fourth row in your church congregation, where you always sit. The choir sing on the pulpit in their luscious purple robes and the sun casts a tremendous spotlight of colour through the stain glass window that towers above them. Their angelic voices rise to the ceiling and you join with the congregation in glorious song celebrating the Lord Jesus Christ. Your eyes are closed to the present and quietly reflect on the past year: your accomplishments at work like that promotion that was overdue by....many years, the marriage of a sibling and the healing of your parent from the so called “terminal illness”. It’s been a great year, Glory to God... But don’t be so quick to forget how this moment came to be. Rewind about.......2000 years. Mary mother of Jesus kneels helplessly before the battered cross as she watches her son die, the blood and water streaming down His pierced side and His face, although to others unrecognisable, still behold the tender deep brown eyes she remembered seeing for the first time
when He was born, exuding immaculate peace in the midst of discomfort. As she cries uncontrollably, no sound breaks from her lips like the other women around her. Rain pelting down from dark skies began to mingle with her tears whilst she witnesses the last gasps of air escaping His lungs and His body slowly beginning to sag. She shuts her eyes and rewinds to the precious moment she kept hidden in her heart. Rewind again.... about another 35 years. Mary, a new mother, carefully cradles her child in her arms as the sharp smell of sheep dung attempts to distract her from the miraculous gift she holds. She withstands this unbearable smell as the star in the sky bellows down a great waterfall of light over the shack that she and her husband huddle closely around the baby. As Mary lowers the swaddled child gently into the manger, the light brightens and the many gathered around start singing with voices raised to the heavens. The babe in the cradle yawns widely, opens his big brown eyes and smiles at his mother.
This was the first night of Christmas, remembered by you in the church service and by Mary at the cross but to really understand what it is that we are celebrating... It is where the story must begin. God’s purpose of Jesus’ birth was that His plan might be fulfilled: Jesus to die for the sins of the world and bring life. This is what it means when the Bible says God knows the beginning from the end. We celebrate and give gifts and gather as a family at this time because, like in Bethlehem when Jesus was born, life was given and there was hope for all. So as you receive and give presents, carve and devour your Christmas dinner and sing carols, don’t forget that the joy that we experience now is a result of the life that was brought on the first Christmas night.

The past can either be negative or positive. A negative past is a painful or regrettable experience in a person’s life and it’s memory can hinder progress in pursuing fulfilment of destiny. In the same vein positive memories of the past can be a great experience that has brought a person to an all-round celebration of accomplishment. Sometimes this can be over dwelt upon meaning that it can also hinder further progress. We see an example of this in the Bible in Luke 12:13-21, “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, you have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” In this article we will be focusing more on how dwelling on negative past can affect discovering and fulfilling of destiny. How to ensure any negative experiences of the past ground your life progression. Sometimes in life, we experience negative things that leaves us hurting with resentments and unforgiveness. Whatever the experience may be and however bad it may seem,
dwelling on them will hinder you from attaining your bright and destined future. The Word of God in Isaiah 43:18-19 states “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” This scripture really ministered to me because as I was growing up many years back, I had some bad experiences in some aspects of my life. A lot of verbal and some physical abuse which was hard for me to comprehend as to why these negatives things were happening to me, and why I would be blamed for things. I wouldn’t even think of doing wrong, yet I was still being accused and reprimanded for them. The verbal abuse always left me thinking, “But I did not make myself…talk to the Creator of the product.” I remember being so confused at one time that I wanted to run away from home because I didn’t think I belonged there. But thank God that He relinquished that idea from my mind as it may have gone worst for me. As I grew up and became an adult, I found that on occasions I would relive those negative experiences and get really upset at various people involved. Sometimes those feelings actually affects my health and my body would react badly that I would become ill. God began to show me through the understanding of His Word the importance of releasing the past and forgiving anyone who had done us wrong in order for me to see new things

spring forth in my life. Proverbs 14:30 states, “A heart at peace gives life to the body…” ,meaning if I have all round peace in life, my body will also be at peace and no sickness will be raging in it. When I saw this, I made a U-TURN because I desire to live my life in good health and prosperity. I made a decision to always let go, no matter how I felt. It has not been easy to do but I always remind myself of the Word so I can rein myself back to the place of forgiveness. Philippians 3:13 made it easy to let go, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” Forgiveness does not make them right but It shows maturity on your part. You don’t go forward looking backwards. A driver that keep looking backwards will crash. The more you look back, the less you get ahead. There is no progress looking backwards to the past, it’s gone.

Why not break free and be free today!
Matthew 6:12 - And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
YOUR PEACE, JOY AND SOUNDNESS OF MIND IS PRIVATE TO YOU. DON’T ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE CONTROL THAT PRIVILEDGE. IT IS YOUR SPECIAL SECRET PLACE OF COMMUNING. PROTECT IT JEALOUSLY! Why let someone else illegally occupy your space for peace? Why let someone else prevent you from fulfilling destiny? Why let someone else dictate your thoughts for you? Why let someone else dictate how you should live your life? Why let someone else rent and occupy space in your heart? If you love your life and would love to live it to the full, you would not let the past happenings prevent you from reaching your future.
Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Matthew 18:21-35 - Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times: but, until seventy times seven. 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 4:20 - If a man say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that love not his brother whom he hath seen, how
Let your next step be forward. Here are some scriptures to help us understand how God sees the past. Mark 11:25 - And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have fought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Ephesians 4:32 - And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Proverbs 24:17 - Rejoice not when thine enemy fall and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbles. Hebrews 12:14 - Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Colossians 3:12-13 - Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 - To whom you forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for if I forgave

Philippians 3:13 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. God does not use your past to determine your future. Harbouring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die - Joyce Meyer. We all know who would wither away. The ones whom you are resenting are enjoying their lives not even thinking about you at all. Make a decision Now to Break free and Be free! Unforgiveness shackles you to the person who hurt you. It binds you to pain, chains you down in bondage to the very thing you did not want to happen and controls your destiny.
Salvation Prayer The grace to break free from the hold of unforgiveness can only be given to those who are bonafide children of God. This is done by confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your Saviour and Lord. If you are ready for this new birth experience, please say this prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.” Congratulations! You are now born again! All-round rest and peace are guaranteed you, in Jesus’ Name. Share your testimonies with us through info@theadmirelife.com

ou know Christmas is here by the chill in the air and snow. And my ultimate favourite .. street decorations. Just for a moment the lights pierce the grey and gloom. As I write this article, I’m sipping my hot cup of coffee and enjoying the warmth in the house. I’m pondering upon the true meaning of Christmas. It is a time of giving and family, dare I say this is the only time in the year when families feel it necessary to reconcile. For the first time human kind has managed to get this right. Indeed, God showed the world of His great love for us and gave us His son for the sake of our reconciliation with Him. It is also a time of reflection and stock taking but that is not my focus today. I would like to focus how to maintain a waistline thereafter… Whilst retailers increase their profit margins we on the on the other hand increase our waistlines. The hardest thing is to shift that unnecessary expansion despite all the good intentions of joining the gym in the new year. We all know how that story ends. It is good to enjoy Christmas however we can achieve this without piling on the pounds. I’m by no means suggesting that you throw your festive menus out the window oh no, by all means enjoy to the full. I could go on endlessly with ideas to ensure we do not pile on the weight during the festive season but how will this be helpful when we have a whole year ahead of us. My focus in this article will be on developing a lifestyle and a change of thinking towards food. This will help with maintaining weight and weight loss. I suggest we start this Christmas and live differently for 2016.

The hereafter Christmas I would like to highlight that this article is not another fad diet. As a matter of fact, fad diets double if not triple your weight after the diet. Many have obviously tried various methods of weight loss a million times, therefore this will come as a breath of fresh air. Firstly, it is kind on your pocket and time. I heard someone say once: insanity is doing the same thing over and over hoping for different results. Well with this in mind why ladies do we put ourselves through agonising regimes all in the name of losing weight. Breaking news Fad diets have been proven not to sustain weight loss in the long run. Lets try something different in the new year. We know that our bodies are a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit and the Bible goes on to say we should present our bodies as a pleasing sacrifice to the Father. In fact the priest would refuse a defected sacrifice. God requires a sacrifice that is whole. Food for thought, so the onus is upon us to look after our bodies to present them to the father as a worthy living sacrifice. I heard a medical Christian doctor speak once saying that majority of diseases we suffer in this day can be avoided simply by watching what we put in our mouths. We kill ourselves
in slow motion purely by what we continue to eat day in and day out. The Bible is full of promises for the children of God. The revelation of the promises is to be enjoyed in the here and now. We are to enjoy the promises of God here on earth but if our bodies are weak, heavy and so forth how do we live to the full enjoying the goodness of God? You see in most cases it is not the devil we should be binding but praying that the Holy Spirit helps us with what we put in our mouths. This is indeed a tragedy, killing ourselves and knowingly. Most of us might not have a calling into ministry or major career however for the sake of our children and families we need to live healthy lives. How are we to take care of the God given families if we are too heavy and sick to get involved with the family.
of health, where your weight does not hinder you in any way to live an active and quality life.
Please do not feel condemned if you are already overweight and unhealthy, lets work together to improve the quality of your life. If your health is being compromised by your weight, I urgently advice you to seek medical help. I would like to include a disclaimer at this point, I am not stating that:-
1. Let’s change our thinking and the way we perceive food. Just like in the Nemo movie “Fish is not food”, “food is not your friend”. Our bodies need food as fuel to manage the day to day activities. This means that we need to give our bodies the right kind of fuel. Not every food works as fuel some food work against your body and slows you down and causes harm. Remember only fill in the fuel tank when empty in other words only eat when hungry.
“Skinniness = to happiness” Far from it, I am advocating for a state
The Bible reminds us not to conform to the standards of this world instead be transformed by the renewal of your mind. In other words, we are not to base our identity, and values from the world. The world is flakey, and changes from time to time. A perfect example of this is Marilyn Munroe, she was seen as the Female icon and yet she was a full size 16, today the same size is frowned upon. This demonstrates our need to stand on the solid rock, who changes not. He is the same yesterday, today and forever more. Below are a few pointers to help with the new you in the new year:-
Admire Festive 2015 | 15

Avoid eating out of boredom, or simply to regulate your emotions meaning you self medicate with food to feel better within yourself. (if this is the case with you, I advice you seek professional help). In most cases eliminating such a small habit could also eliminate all the extra calories that you do not need. The body is an efficient machine, once it realises that the fuel it has been given is not required it immediately deposits it into its reserve bank, you and I know this as FAT!. Avoid running on reserve fuel either, just as this damages your car, it damages the efficiency of converting food into fuel. It has also been seen that when you go through your day on an empty stomach your body does not function to its full capacity, you lose concentration, no energy etc and this is in the long run pushes your body to binge to store up for the days of famine. Binges can vary from harmless to severe. If you experience severe binges, eating till you are almost sick or to the point of been sick at least 2-3 times a week, please seek professional advice. I recommend you eat 3 regular meals and plan your meals to avoid unnecessary snacking.
pot of yoghurt has 0%fat. Well the fact of the matter is fat makes food taste good and once they remove this, they need to maintain taste and this can only be done by bumping with sugar. Most of the refined carbohydrates are packed with sugars. Sugar is addictive, the more you eat it the more your body screams for it. Fortunately, if you cut it out then your body adjusts. Avoid sugar packed drinks even fruit juices, I highly recommend that you eat natural fruit than drinking tons of juice. Having said this, you need to be careful with the amount of fruit you have in a day. You know the saying,
exercise. Do not give up as it takes up to 6 weeks of exercising to see any real change and in some cases even longer. Remember this is a life style not a diet. Make exercises part of your routine, there are many benefits such as a release of chemicals from your body that gives a feel good kick. Your bowels move better and research has shown that even 10mins of exercise reduces risk of cardiac events. Lets get moving people. 4. Finally drink plenty of water. Let’s keep our bodies well hydrated, not only is it beneficial for health and beauty reasons but for weight loss too. Did you know that often when you feel hungry, you’re really just thirsty? Our mind tends to confuse hunger and thirst. When you find yourself hungry at odd times of the day, reach for a cup of water before grabbing food. If you really are hungry, you can still eat a snack afterwards. But let’s say your feelings of hunger do go away after drinking that cup of water. You’ve just saved yourself calories by not eating the snack your body didn’t really need!
The body is an efficient machine, once it realises that the fuel it has been given is not required it immediately deposits it into its reserve bank, you and I know this as FAT
2. Lets exercise good decision making. It is interesting that the richer a society becomes the fatter we become. This was the case during the Victorian times a good example of this is King Henry the 8th. The rich were known by rotten teeth as they indulged in sugar and so forth. Sadly, this epidemic is the case today, despite great development in education and so forth. Avoid the deadly white powder! Sugar! Unfortunately, most of the foods have hidden sugars. The Bible warns us not to be people of ignorance! Do not be fooled by marketing gimmicks telling you that the
16 | You Are Valuable Magazine
“too much of a good thing becomes a nuisance”. I could go on and on with what to avoid and what to eat but this information is readily available on the internet. 3. Lets use up the energy people. We have talked about this already, food is fuel, so the equation goes as .. “Fuel in = fuel out” When fuel is not utilised then it is converted into fat. Ways of avoiding this is eating your last meal early. Avoid late night snacking especially on sugary foods. Put adequate amounts of fuel in your body so watch your portions. There is tons of information on portion control on the web and this is readily available to you (British Dietitics Association or British Heart Foundation). Another useful way of using energy is by engaging in regular exercises. Listen you do not have to join the gym you can simply walk at least 5 times a week for a minimum of 20mins and this has been proven to be the most effective way of losing weight. In order to have results you need to be consistent in your
The most important hint that needs no elaborating is Self Acceptance – Love yourself you are made in the image of God. If you are curvy, skinny, tall, short, go on and celebrate your self but to be careful that we do not abuse the temple of the Holy Spirit. Well I hope this has been helpful in maintaining our waistlines during and after Christmas.

character. We see a similar story in the Bible, of an extravagant, reckless young man who left home because he thought he could handle it all. (Luke 15:11-32) The prodigal or if you like, the Extravagant, Self-indulgent, Reckless Son story There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy
to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

The same principle goes for the Kingdom of God, understanding and operating in the Word ensures delivery of answered prayers. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word of God created the earth and all there in. In order to see the promises of God manifest in your life, you must apply the ‘Word Manifestation Ingredients’ as specified in Deuteronomy 28: 1-14. Until then nothing happens. • You have to receive the Word (Christ) to receive power to become the son/daughter of God (John 1:12). • You have to believe God for Him to perform His Word in your life (Luke 1:45) • and you have to obey the Word for it to come to pass in your life. The Word of God delivers from every affliction. Jesus said “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28) The Word sets free from every oppression of the enemy. The Word heals the broken hearted. The Word restores health (Matthew 4:23). The Word empowers for wealth Understand Your Makeup and you will begin to flourish You are created by the Word and you are to live and function by the Word. The Word of God is the power of God that causes us to triumph in every aspect of our lives (Romans 1:16; Hebrews 1:3). God rules by His power which enforces dominion and rulership. (Psalm 66:7) The Word is quick and powerful to perform in every aspect of your life (Hebrews 4:12) and can affect and revitalise every
dimension of the human life; the body, spirit, soul and emotions. Your dominion is at the mercy of the truth of the Word you operate in (Psalm 45:1-4). Your faith must be mixed with the Word for signs and wonders to begin to manifest in your life. (Hebrews 4:2). The Word has the capacity to change and make alive anything that is dead around you (John 6:63). The exact words for any situation carry a force that cannot be opposed by contrary spirits (Job 6:25). The entrance of the Word gives light (Psalm 119:130). The light of the Word shines in darkness (John 1:1-5). 3. Light that shatters darkness. There is no discussion between light and darkness. Darkness vanishes when light shows up. Light is sweet (Ecclesiastes 11:7); it is what disarms every devil oppressing your life. It is important to engage the truth of the Word because this is what determines what works for you. There is so much revelation of the Word today but the issue is application. You will be in amazement at what you can achieve by yourself when you apply the Word in your life. The amount of truth you have forgotten will shock you. Receive the grace to be a doer of the Word (James 1:22-25). Make a decision to begin to apply the Word in every aspect of your life.
