SPIRITUAL DEVOTIONAL AND MEDITATION.

  ADEQUATE PREPARATION FACILITATES SUCCESS.   Anchor scripture: “Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.” (Ecclesiastes 10:10) INSIGHTS : Strategic planning and adequate preparations, are the bedrocks to any successful endeavor, be it business, career,   Church ministry, profession, marriage and parenting. Prior to kick-starting that business enterprise, wisdom demands that you should begin with thorough risks assessments, feasibility and viability studies, to ascertain the risks, possibilities and profitability of the business, to be properly guided. Same methodology also applies to   other endeavor such as:   Church ministries, professions, political pursuits, careers, marriage and parenting. Get adequate preparation via reading, attending relevant capacity building seminars, and above all, pray for revelations. Therefore beloved, let wisdom be your compass, to nav...

MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS; EVEN YOUR PRAYERS. Image source: Christian arts Photoshop. The above phrase might sound illogical and ambiguous; but prior to your remarks, I implore you, let’s embark on a voyage of discovery; [with the Holy Spirit of God as the Captain of our ship]. *** Let’s go sailing *** God is business oriented in all His dealings. In other words, He is profit- minded but unlike worldly men; He is not cost-saving. It costs God all He had - His only begotten and beloved Son; Jesus Christ , to risk the investment of Salvation and Redemption of Mankind. I don’t think any business man on earth will afford such risk, he will be labelled; an unwise investor , but not so with the omnipotent God; whose economic, business and financial system is Supreme above the world economies put together. Just as in every economic and financial system of the world, money is the universally acceptable medium of exchange to effect trades and transactions, same is applicable in trans...

  WHY WE ERR! [HOW TO FIND GOD’S WILL]. "...You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God." (Matthew 22:29S NIV). Image credit: Coleman Causes of errors: (1) Lack of Adequate and Accurate Knowledge of the Holy Written " WORD" and living by its precepts. (2) Ignorance/ Insensitivity to the promptings and leading of the Still Small Voice of -" THE HOLY SPIRIT". INSIGHT: (a) The Word provides the perimeter (general) coverage areas and safety confines, meant to guide our daily living, decisions and activities. (b) The Holy Spirit, then gives us "Specific Directions, Revelations and Instructions" within the circumference of the " Word "; and God's speakings for the season , with respect to our unique calling and assignment. Suffice it to say that; the Word = The City Map, while the Holy Spirit = The City Guide. So, the Word + Holy Spirit = Perfect Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding of the...

  THE CONCEPT OF TRUE LEADERSHIP! "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." (John 10:11 NIV). INSIGHT: TRUE LEADERSHIP IS SUFFERING [Selah]! Then, what is suffering? Let's differentiate it's component words, thus: (1) Self. (2) Offering. In other words; Self + Offering = Suffering. This connotes that "Offering {one} Self sacrificially for the benefits, progress and well-being of others, is True Leadership." Therefore, the identity and characteristics of a True Leader; "is the Capacity and Willingness to offer himself/herself as a sacrifice(ransom); in an Exchange for the well-being and benefits of others (followers)." Can you see that? The Greatest Leader of all times, "JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth"; demonstrated such quality during His Earthly Ministry and also expounded it in His Eternal Word, thus: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep....
