Super Inspiration: Inspirational articles that lift up your spirit and inspire you to greatness

When I began writing inspirational articles, it never occurred to me that they would one day be put into a book form. I actually began to post my articles on the internet for my friends on social media to read. However, I began to pay serious attention to the articles when I received feedback from readers which indicated that they were richly blessed by the articles. This motivated me to begin to post the articles daily and since then, a great number of people have received encouragement, inspiration, hope and motivation through the articles. Eventually my wife suggested I gather all the articles and put them in a book. Well, this is the book. Why do I write inspirational articles daily? Well, as food is to the body, so is inspiration to the soul and spirit. You need it daily. Zig Ziglar says “Motivation is like taking a bath, it doesn’t last and that is why you need it daily”. Without our soul and spirit batteries being regularly recharged, we begin to run low on energy, strength and motivation. Without adequate nourishment of the soul and spirit, people may begin to lose steam in their work, marriage, parenting, relationships, vision, academics etc. This may make them to consider quitting. Inspiration is the food that the soul and spirit need for life and vitality. In Deuteronomy 8:4 the Bible said “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” I believe that as the articles have blessed the lives of many people on social media, it will also bless your own life. To profit maximally from this book, I suggest that you read an article per day. This will enable you finish all the articles in a hundred days since there are 100 articles in the book. Each article though short contains pieces of wisdom, inspiration, revelations and motivation to lift up your spirit. Therefore take your time to meditate on each one and draw wisdom and inspiration from them. I hope you enjoy reading the book. Thank you and God bless.

Inspirations: A Collection of Confessions and Revelations

Have you ever found yourself wondering if there was any more to this life? Have you ever questioned God’s plan for you, your purpose, or destiny? Of course you have. When I asked those questions, the answer that I was given threw me for a loop. The answer was so unexpected and out of my comfort zone that I spent many years wondering if I had heard the correct answer. Our main purpose is to worship and glorify God. God inspired me to glorify Him in this manner.

Inspirations is a book that started as a simple exercise in expressing thoughts, not necessarily meant to be shared, but as a vehicle to let new emotions and new ideals flow from my heart. When I began this journey, I was both new to poetry and a brand-new Christian. I had never had the desire to write nor had any idea how far the process of writing would take me. It was several years of expression through writing, and sharing with others, before I realized I had the beginnings of a book. Even then I had no concept of the height, depth, and width of this project, or how far God could take me in such an uncomfortable and untenable position.

All forms of art are born out of some manner of inspiration. This collection of poetry has had its share of unusual types of inspiration, from cartoons and movies to other authors and people in my everyday life, even situations in which I found myself that would show the glory and majesty of our Lord. The subject matter of all these poems, while most are individually inspired, can be separated into two categories, either confession or revelation. There is truth within these pages, truth about my life and I would be willing to guess, at least some truth about your life as well.

My prayer is that the words within these pages would first serve to glorify God and second serve to inspire you to do something, perhaps outside of your comfort zone, so that you will rely on God’s strength and knowledge. Let us remain humble, by getting out of our own way, and letting Jesus shine through us.
