How to ask a college professor for a Graduate Assistantship by Email

The impossibles are for God

1. Do the possibles 

Many things are possible for man, but there are many things which are impossible for man (Note: man here refers to both men and women). Actually, the things that are impossible for man are not meant to be done by man - they are meant to be accomplished by God, and must be given to God. 

2. There is a division of labor 

The impossibles are for God. There are things which man can handle, and they must be handled by man alone - not God. The responsibility of life is shared between God and man. God has done, is doing, and will continue to do His own part. Man as well has his own part that he must do. Problems come when a man wants God to play his roles, and when some want to play God's role. 

3. The unstoppable man gives work to God

As a man we are meant to be unstoppable in life. Nothing should be able to stop us. We should be able to accomplish all that we want in life: we should be able to do the possibles and give (not leave) the impossibles to God. In every situation, when we have done all we could do, we should allow God to do the remaining tasks, and make them possible for us. We should be unstoppable because we share tasks with God.

4. The free access to God: Jesus Christ

There is a way to give the impossibles to God. This way is available for all, but not everyone has learn the way. The free access to God is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. To give the impossibles to God by Christ, go into your room or a separate place anywhere or in your heart and pray to God using Jesus Christ Name. Jesus Christ in the Bible promised us that whatever we ask God (His Father) in prayers through His name, will be done by God (John 16:23-24). So this means we are free to give everything that is IMPOSSIBLE for us to God through Jesus Christ. 

5. How to pray

This is how to it: you may say, "God of heaven and earth, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. I come to you today in the name of Jesus Christ your Son. Please make ____________ possible in my life by so so time. Amen!" I have done this several times and saw God turned impossibilities into possibilities. 

6. My personal experience 

I remember praying to God when I was about 12 years old. I was in primary school then. I was doing very poorly in school because I was not smart: I could not read and write, not even my own name, and I always got the poorest grade in my class. Then I prayed that God should give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, to make me become a better student.  Afterward, from few days after I had prayed to God, my brother (late now) who was living in another neighborhood started coming to our house every evening to teach me how to read and write. After teaching me for a few weeks, my understanding opened up, and I was able to read and write. That same year, I became one of the best students in my class. That was God turning my impossibility into possibility because I gave Him permission to do so. God can do the same for you too if you can learn to give your impossibilities to Him. 

Please, do the possible you can do today and give the impossibilities to God in prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord. God bless you and stay blessed. 

The Common Ways of Life

People are made in life by the ways they live their life. What they do and how they do what they do it make them what they become. Though there are different ways of life, but basically the ways of life can be grouped into two categories (1) the common and (2) the uncommon ways of life.

The common ways of life are the natural easy ways that people live or interact with their environments. It is the way people naturally react  or respond to things that happen to them. The common way is the easiest ways to approach life issues and circumstances. They are common because they are the easy ways.

Few examples of common ways include;
1. Lack of goals
2. Lack of formal /and informal education
3. Disorganized lifestyle
4. Lack of codes of conduct
5. Wrong activities and companions
6. Bullying others and pride
7. Disrespect for simple instructions
8. Lack of planning for ones future
9. Lack of good heart for others
10. Laziness towards life.

But here is the problem, people who practices the common ways of life end up being common or ordinary in life. They become people without any respectable achievement and contribution in their society.  These are the people who end up just living for food. People whose life circles around 'eat, play, and sleep; eat, play, and sleep'. And that's all they live for from the beginning of their life until they die.

People become like this when they fail to change their ways from common to uncommon ways early in life. This happens when people fail to master the uncommon ways of life early in life. This also occurs when a child grow up to become an adult without learning the uncommon ways of life. And finally people end up as as common man when they fail to take deliberate efforts to change their ways from common to uncommon ways.

But your greatness is sure when you DELIBERATELY and CONTINUOUSLY take steps to move from common to uncommon ways of life. You can be sure of a strong and happy end in life when you choose to go the road less traveled. Because that is the way of the uncommon man!
