Inspired for Growth 1 Cor 15:36-39  Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. Every one and every man and woman created was created for growth. for change and for dynamism. Gen 1:11-13 11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day. Let everyone celebrate his or her peculiarity, you can only produce your kind, and take people to where you have been. Gen 1:26-28 28 Then God blessed them,...

The meeting started with the question - "with whom would we like to live with?" if we had the chance.  The prelude to this was the comentry on the radio about Wayne Rooney's shenanigan.  On the 'worldly' side of things a few chose Mandela, Bill Gates, Donald Trump and on the spiritual, a few chose their Pastor, the deputy G O and I think somebody chose Pastor Adeboye. Such was the basis of starting the discussion on how to move up in life and carer. The dynamics between the puller and the pulled God father/puller:  You need someone who is higher/better positioned than you and you backed it up with the scriptures (Heb 7:7).  You referred to them as the puller Searching well:  You need to search from within the Church and outside of the Church Do not be explicit/make it obvious to them that you intend to be above them but you want to be the best you can be and if your best ends up being better than/above them it should not cause harm  Motivate your puller:  The...

Men tend to b amazed as to challenges in life, but above all there seems to be personal challenges in everyone. For example the following could be relevant to you: runaway father loss of mother at a young age and having to live with different people loss of father and deceit by a man to his 'nuclear' family an 'uncaring' father that failed to see any good in his son. Main lessons learnt from the narratives were Divorce remains to be a poison that we should all avoid because its effect resonates over many years if not generations Regardless of your background, you can go on to do great exploits. What is spoken to your life will ultimately make or mar you but you can overcome that by the grace of God (in cases where you have had negatives spoken into your life) The blessings of a father can and must never be undermined because your optimal position of greatness will never be attained if that blessing is not passed on regardless of one's achievement. The vir...

The day started like any other mentoring group meetings. Little did I know that it would turn out to be just that...a mentoring meeting with a different topic and agenda. We set out to discuss the abilty to think BIG. What is thinking big, thinking out of the box, I BELIEVE. Many definitions, many suggestions. We now looked into what Ben Carson, the peadiatrician neurosurgical wonder boy said in his book, Thinking Big. It seems this is talking about breaking grounds with your thinking, creating waves beyond even your own perceived limitation, and taking yourself into heights that even your peers will shudder. I like that kind of thinking. It stresses the saying in the bible that 'as the man or woman thinketh in his heart so is he or she...It felt fresh and somehow a wake up call for all of us to think and think hard before embarking on any chore or say or utter any thing, as anything otherwise may expose us to ridicule in the face of wise thinkers or change thinkers(thinking engine...

I find the art of burning symbols or even in the most diabolical circumstances, political burning of human beings ranked as one of the basest evil that man can do to man. However, I found it strange for an evangelical Pastor to plan, arrange and canvass for the burning of the Koran as most strange and uncalled for...it shows nothing but abject stupidity and unchristian! Could this be the beginning of Islam-phobic that may set a tinder box of inflammable consequences all over the world or its going to be seen as one of those attention seeking gesture of ignominy. Thinking about it, it can achieve nothing but unnecessary boiling of the temperature of the religious tensions all over the world. If burning of symbols have made any difference, it is only that it has caused more terrorism and undue celebration of cultures that are not worthy of such importance.How many flags of the US, UK etc have been burnt in the middle-east has changed policy, I doubt any. This pastor want publicity for hi...

2 Tim 1:7...for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self control. Ask yourself ...how many good things, wonderful ideas, great relationships, great careers, mighty miracles, and so forth have you been denied of, just because you feared? Loads...It is amazing when I think of it...So, your fear denies you of your faith, and hence your faith becomes so weak and de-mobilised to the extent of non-performing. As a Christian, this is disservice to God, and a weaken of your own stance. It deprives you of a lot of benefits and what I call dividends of salvation. God says this month is our month to enhance our faith and demolish our fears. The verse quoted above makes it clear that God chose not to give us the spirit of fear. Fear is therefore a spirit that manifests itself as faith would manifest itself. Fear destroys, faith builds. Fear kills, but faith brings out life. Fear separates, faith brings together. You can achieve all and get to any height with fai...

And finally...the two were divorced. Tiger and Ellen...they are in their minds out of the Woods, but for me as a Christian, I think, now they are further in the WOOD. like a Tiger prowling for a meal, when the prey had been alerted that there is a Tiger, prowling, angry and hungry. I appreciate that not all will agree with this little piece, but hey, this is a piece of my own heart... God hates divorce(Malachi 2:16), He has a prerogative to so hate divorce, because He instituted the marriage institution. For Him it was not good for man to be alone(Gen 2:18)hence he created the woman out of the man, so that the two can be one, naked and not ashamed. What God has joined together let no man put aside.(Matt 19:6) Well you may then say but Jesus allowed adultery to be a condition for divorce, (Matt 19:9). I will say, it was not so from the beginning. Jesus made it clear that there was 'a way it was in the beginning, and then Moses for the hardness of your heart allowed that the woma...
