Picky and Choosy Association



Picky and Choosy Association Pt. 1


                        It's obvious to tell one's future by the kind of friends he/she has. You are the average of the seven friends you associate with most. The kind of associations you keep can lift or limit you in life. They can build or break you. People with mediocre values cannot help you achieve anything great. Not to say look down upon the less privileged or the poor, but surround yourself with light-bringers, world movers, people who would give you pressure to be the best version of you...


                        Your destiny is so important to waste it around people who can't add any value to it. Some people might have finished their assignment in your life, be bold to move on with or without them, giving them the credit they deserve. So much of your success may be determined by the people around you, so be choosy in selecting your team.

Picky and Choosy Association Pt. 2

                        You can't work and walk with "any team" and expect extraordinary results. It's an error. Scripture says, He that walketh with the wise [men] shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. [Pro 13:20].  1 Cor 15:33 also reads, Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners, morals, and character. [AMP].
                        A friend once said, "I made a mistake building an empire with close friends". That’s the reality. They may appear closer, but farther from your destiny. In reality, those around you either want you at par with them or lower than them. How can you excel globally if you're walking with local champions? Howbeit, don't be the only wise or the only ‘simple’ person in that team, it's dangerous. If they're not making you stronger, they're probably weakening you. Your Network  can be Your Net-worth.

Leadership is for all

Leadership is for everyone Never underestimate yourself, when it comes to leadership. Whether young or old, the spirit of leadership lives in you. It's your ability to step into it courageously. You can be young but fully prepared for leadership. The brothers of David, were older than him but the inbuilt leadership capability in David triggered him to fight the philistine, Goliath. Change your mindset about leadership, the young can lead a group of elderly people. In the book of  Job, we were also told that wisdom lives not only in the aged, the young too. The secret is this, as coined by the late Dr Myles Munroe, when a lion leads a heard of sheep it will definitely overcome a heard of lion being led by a sheep. You can be a young lion leading a sheep of the aged. So step into your leadership capabilities now, because within every follower lies a crying spirit of leadership. God bless you.

Where's God?

Where's God? In our days at the primary school, we were told that God is omnipresent, which meant that He's present everywhere. So in the storm, flood, drought, turbulence, attack, ups and downs etc., God has never left us. He's always there on time. But sometimes it seems God isn't present during the storms. It seems He's no where to be found  in the storm. Yeah, we don't find Him there. This is it: During the storm, the atmosphere becomes blurred and you hardly see your way out, so though God will be right there but the atmosphere wouldn't let you see. So in that, He says, walk by FAITH not by SIGHT. This is why in the book of Romans, we are told that the just shall live by FAITH. the Christan walk has always been a FAITH WALK. It takes faith to acknowledge the presence of God during the storms, the challenges, the seasonal fluctuations in business. If you live in these period by what you only see, you will falter. He has said it in His word, that He w...

PRAYING FOR WISDOM FROM ABOVE

PRAYING FOR WISDOM FROM ABOVE Join Paul and Daniel in marveling at God’s wisdom : “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways!” (Romans 11:33) “ Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:20-22).    prayer ….Thank God for His gracious promise to give wisdom generously to those who lack it. Claim that promise for yourself by asking Him for it in faith  (James 1:5). Acknowledge to God that fools always think their way is right, but a wise person listens to advice (Proverbs 12:15). Ask the Lord to help you to be humble and teachable, willing to ask for and receive counsel from others. Confess ...
