The Process

Hi There,
One of the greatest gift one can ever have is the gift of perseverance. I call it a gift because, although it has to be cultivated, the Grace to persevere can only come from God.

The problem we face most times in persevering is  the ability to keep seeing the 'End' in spite of the circumstances surrounding the 'Now'. This is where we get stranded. Immediately things seems difficult and the End seems blurred we give up.

I explained last week that FOCUS is "Follow One Course Until Success", This is TRUE. The capacity to stay in the process and ensure we get what we have set to accomplish is not easy and I have to tell you a very big truth. YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT!!!!!

If you run away, you are only taking a longer route in getting to the end and it is always so painful. Your best option and only option is to stay in the process.

I learnt, and i found out that, when you finally reach the end, the Joy of reaching the end, wipes away all the pain in the process of getting to the end and brings so much fulfillment giving you a genuine story to tell others about your life.

Well, my challenge to us is ,don't cut short the process of what ever you are doing. Do it the right way, hold on and stay strong.

It is not easy,  no friend can really help or understand what you are going through. You have to go through it yourself. It is your journey, it is your life.

But I can introduce you to a friend who sticks closer than a brother, He will be there and His Grace will pull you through and never Elude you........His Name is JESUS.

Hold on to Him OK, He wont be far from You.

Stay strong and Have a fulfilling week and Holiday.

FOCUS

FOCUS means: "FOLLOW ONE COURSE UNTIL SUCCESSFUL"

A major key to fulfillment in life, a nonnegotiable quality of any leader who is going somewhere is FOCUS.

Hi there,

Man is the only creation of God that was made to have a cognitive ability,it is only Man that can come out of himself and assess himself with the right perspective. Animals can't do that, and that's what really makes us unique inherently.

This capacity of self awareness,goes beyond our person, it goes into everything we do.

Being able to take time to look through a particular situation, to assess what is wrong or right and to do something about it is part of what FOCUS does in the life of any individual.

Like I explained in the last blog about listening that "who you listen to is the person that has the greatest influence on you", its the same way for FOCUS. "What you focus on will get bigger". As you take time to focus on anything,whatsoever it may be,it gets bigger and bigger either its a good thing or a bad thing, the principle will not change.

A typical example for us here in Nigeria is the way we criticize our leaders. We focus so much on them criticize them and instead of them changing, they are getting worse. A level of change would have been realized if  individually we are true to ourselves, honest and truthful in our own place of work, helping as much people as we can, and focusing on our role in changing this country for good.

The day we realize that "the people are the government" and your decision to stand for what is right in your own constituency is very imperative, the faster Nigeria will change.

Focusing is not easy, it requires a deliberate,strong-willed and determined heart for anyone who is ready to focus and bring about positive change in any area of his/her life.

My challenge today for everyone is to make a decision to FOCUS on what you believe and stand for.....TRUTH,JUSTICE AND LOVE....Hold on to it and I can assure you, it pays in the long run...

Do have a Fulfilled,Fun-filled and Focused week.

Listening

Hi there,
How has the week been? Great right? Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the fourth month,a new quarter,it must be good,somethings must have been good,so don't castigate everything that has happened, Give God some quality thanks,if not for anything, for being alive to see another day.

Well, am so grateful to be here to share with you something i just learn't of late and that is "LISTENING".
I found out that the people i listen to most, have the greatest influence on me. I have you noticed that about yourself?

Take a close look at your friends or even just people you hang around, and try to notice somethings about them and see if in anyway you speak the way they do, or you use some of their slang,its just as small as that but that's where it starts from.

Listening means responding to an advice, a way of accepting someone's opinion and taking it as yours.

Can you imagine if it's God that you listen to,you hang around more,can you imagine his influence on your life?
It means you will be living on another level that people will not understand because your way of thinking will be far higher than your peers,and those older than you.

Hmm! An awesome experience you will have on a daily basis, you can't be stranded, there will always be a way out, because God will be influencing your thinking and your perspective to life.........I can Imagine that already....

You will be an "AWE" to people around you and their term to describe you will be "What wisdom is This"?

Well, my thought to share with you today, is just that if you want anyone to listen to you, if you want to be a great leader, you need to cultivate the habit of listening to God not Man.....When you listen to him and obey him and submit to him then you can be sure that you will be listened to....

Its definately a process, but once you decide and commit to it, then its so sure that He will be committed to speak to you.
Make that commitment today.! He is Waiting for you.

Have a great week.
ciao

Submission

 Hello Y'all,

                                     ''the backup for any vision is submission''

No matter how big,glorious or magnanimous your vision is, you cannot do without a backup.
"Plan A"-  it worked, if it doesn't "Plan B", Sometimes Plan C,D, E...just to ensure all  angles are covered for the vision not to crash.

That is what Submission does to any Vision. For as long as you submit to God in everyway and let him have his way, no matter the storms that hits the vision all ur backups will be ready to redeem it.

This might sound like,  it isn't true but i can assure you it is.

Shouldn't we have thought that been a Leader makes one "Lord of All", but in the lessons of leadership John Maxwell says in the "law of addition" that, "Leaders add value by Serving others"..... that means your place of been a leader to influence others is directly proportional to the level of service you render to them.


T.D Jakes said that "Submission does not mean you are Weak ,it means your Strength is Under Control"  and that is the point. It is the inability of a leader to see himself as a servant that makes him think he is lord over all when he is in position.

This is a major deception in our world today and am encouraging everyone to endeavor to stay clear of such thinking, mindset and loosen up, serve others, add value to them by submitting first to God so our visions can come to its reality and by adding value to those around you which will finally come back to you.

You want your VISION to find expression, the answer is TOTAL SUBMISSION to God in all you do.......

stay strong y'all and have a great week

ciao ciao
