Be Courageous
“But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage, I am here” Matt.14:27
Most of us know Bill Gates and some of us have heard his story but there are parts to his story that some have never heard. Bill and his partner Paul Allen owned a software company. A lot of us do not know what the real situation was when IBM approached Bill Gates to write an operating system for them. When IBM came, Bill Gates simply said he would do it right away. How is that important, you may ask? It Read the rest of this entry
Stay Focused
“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light” Matt.6:22 [KJV, emphasis added]
Do not be in a hurry to judge people because you do not know where God has taken them from and you do not know where God is taking them. Someone walks up to me and reels out a list of judgments for another person that they insist I must execute. I simply smile at such people and never really say anything. And in my mind I am thinking, I know where this same judgmental person came from. So how can it be him or her that is pulling out the judgmental stick on someone else? But I Read the rest of this entry
Incremental Releases
“He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!” Isa.28:10
A lot of the time, we are too cautious; waiting for things to be perfect. We want to dot the I’s and cross the T’s. Note this, if you wait to dot all the “I’s” and cross all the “T’s”, by the time you are ready, it will be too late. In fact someone said relating to software programming, “If you are proud of your first release, you released it too late”. The first page release of some of these social media sites was ugly but they Read the rest of this entry
Be Attentive
“I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands” Ps. 119:60
This lesson on exploitation is so important. Stop procrastinating and just do it! Have you seen a lady trying to kill a cockroach without any ‘weapon’ in hand? She would step on everything else and everywhere else in that room but on the actual cockroach. I am sure you are wondering why I am using such an illustration. It will come to you. It is not convenient but just do it. Do not miss the opportunity for Read the rest of this entry
Do Not Miss It!
“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work” Jn.9:4
Yesterday, we began to look at the four enemies of exploitation and we learnt that the first one is Procrastination. And it dovetailed into us bringing three characteristics of opportunity into focus. We established that the first characteristic opportunity is that opportunities multiply as they are seized.
How It Works
“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work” Jn.9:4
I need you to sit with yourself and come up with a ‘completely true to self’ answer to this question: what exactly are you waiting for? You have been engaged to that lady for so long, what are you waiting for? Get married! Some men will tell you they want to build a mansion first or at least have two cars. You have laid out the business plan and gone over it several Read the rest of this entry
Why Delay?
“I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands” Ps. 119:60
What is the one thing that you can do right now to make things shift in your favour amidst all the doors that God is opening and the opportunities before you? What is that one thing you can do right now to make things shift in your favour at work, in your business, in your home, in your walk with God, or in your marriage? What is that one thing? Many of us know Read the rest of this entry
Just Stand
“Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.” Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!” 1 Kings 18:44
I am able to live with the fact that I have tried something and it did not work than not try it and regret that if I had tried, maybe it would have worked. This is the mantra that I live by. Big deal if I tried and it did not work; I will just try another thing. But a lot of people are laden with regrets about the things they should have done but did not do. But that is going to Read the rest of this entry
