Shepherd Bushiri Quotes
- “Many people are overly critical of themselves, they always speak negative things concerning their lives and that of their families, and though they may not realize it, they are cursing their future. Those words sink into their minds. And before long, they develop a defeated mentality, low self-esteem, and diminished confidence. Worse yet, those negative mindsets can interfere with God’s plan for their lives.”
- “Did you know that what you say about yourself has greater impact on you than anything anybody else says about you?”
- “You can locate the answer to any problem in the world in God’s wisdom bank (The Bible). No matter the problem you may be facing, the solution is there!”
- “As long as God is involved in your situation, victory is guaranteed!”
- “You can be where a prophet is and fail to receive because of familiarity. The devil uses that as a weapon to stop you from receiving from God through his prophets. This is the main reason why prophets are attacked severely. It is because the devil knows that once a person loses respect for a prophet, he or she is automatically disqualified from receiving from God.”
- “God has given you the ability to take back what the devil has stolen. You are stronger than the strongman rising up against you!”
- “The Gospel is Good News filled with contagious blessings. It unleashes new life, new blessings, and new hope. It gives you more than what this world can offer you. Yes, when you come into contact with it, your life becomes joy itself.”
- “You need to constantly remind yourself that you’re destined for greatness.”
- “Nobody has the power to stop what you have been blessed with. When God says ‘It is done!’, it really is done. Believe and claim what is yours.”
- “You cannot know God unless you are at peace. Even angels can only work in your life when you are at peace. This is the reason why, every time they appeared to a person in the Bible to deliver a message, they first said, ‘Peace be still.’”
- “You have the joy of the Lord within you, not only to REFRESH your life, but to refresh those around you!
