Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:11 Today, I would be talking about the rewards that comes from an experience with the deep. This is a topic I find very interesting and I am sure you will too. After reading this piece, I strongly believe that it will spur a hunger in you for a shift from your present state of spiritual level to a more intimate relationship with God. Deep, the subject of discussion today can be described as, having a large distance to…

The Bible says in Romans 10:17 that Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So what do you speak to your followers, is it your word or the word of God? Is it wisdom or words that will crush their Spirit? And how do you speak to them, the reason your followers do what they do is because they have been reproducing and replicating what they have been listening to. If you say they are good for nothing, they will actually proove to you that they won’t amount so much in life. If you motivate them;…

Being a ”Servant” is the greatest and biggest title I have discovered that God gives to anyone who is working in His vineyard. Several times, we have seen across the Scripture when God refers to men as His servant. He doesn’t give a lesser title or greater title than this. If you are faithful and diligent God will see you as a faithful servant and if you are not you would be an unfaithful servant, there is no middle ground. It comes with responsibility and a posture of meekness and most importantly a shared burden with God. So, whenever God…

The Buhari Diaspora Support Organisation has urged Nigerians to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the President has ended institutionalised corruption in the country. In a  statement in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on Thursday, the group’s chairman, Charles Sylvester, said the President had in less than four years created an enabling environment for the economic emancipation of the country through aggressive fight against corruption. He said while the past administration encouraged looting of the public treasury, the current administration had declared war against corruption. The statement read, “Muhammadu Buhari has no doubt restored the fading hope of many Nigerians…

Feeding is something that is essential to the development, sustenance, maintenance, or operation of the body or mind. Feeding requires a posture of concentration, attention, willingness and ability to absorb. If you want your mind, organization, business, marriage, and ministry to function effectively, then it means you have to feed on the right things per time. How you feed, where you feed, with whom you feed and what you feed on determines your outlook. But much more importantly, your attitude, your mindset and mentality towards what you are feeding on, the quantity and quality of what you feed-on ultimately determines…

Please, read: The Power of Language Pt. 1: How to Speak The Right Language to Your Followers here. Thank you. Let us examine a verse by verse exposure to the power of language from the first book of Moses; Genesis 11: 1-8 “And the whole earth was of one language and of one accent and mode of expression. And as they journeyed eastward, they found a plain (valley) in the land of Shinar, and they settled and dwelt there. And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. So they had brick for…

Language is a potent tool for peace and unity and it is also a tool for tearing apart, and to cause disharmony. When you see a nation, a marriage, business, organization, ministry and any other corporate body in a disorganized state lacking progress and focus, you will trace their problems to an inability to understand each other, and their leadership lacks the capacity to unite and speak to them in a language that they must understand. Perhaps you are a leader reading this piece, and you are beginning to say to yourself “but I have been speaking”; it will interest…

A leader will/can only create and solve problems to the degree of the knowledge he has…

The most important secret of every buoyant and robust organizations, businesses, and ministries you see around town or read about is that they constantly and continuously take initiative to create and to recreate new things. Creativity in my own term is a survival instinct or taking an adaptive posture for survival, and this is one of the necessary ingredients for sustaining a business, ministry and an organization in an open competitive market. It is also the life wire of every effective leader and a manure for nourishing businesses, relationships and marriages. Creativity is not just about seeing  the things only…

The rank of a General is not given to a petty trader or a fearful soldier. Generals are men in the army who have progressed through the ranks as victors. It is possible that a General must have lost or failed in one or two instances but the secret to getting to the top rank is bravery, continuous and persistent march and thirst for victory. “A leader who has not adopted, adapted and cultivated the “step forward” and “March on” attitude will wallow and die in the hollow of mediocrity, leaving no prints on the hearts of tomorrow’s generation.” Francis…
