The PRO-Factor

Image
The PRO Factor We live in an age and time where people accrue to themselves, fancy catch phrase and tags, in a bid to appear different or be perceived through a distinct view lens.  The term "PRO"  has largely used by many, who are using this self-appointed name to separate themselves from the amateurs, the not-too-good folks, and the unprofessional class.  Many people in a bid to maintain their "PRO"  status, have discriminated others and trivialized the honest effort of others.  This segregation has divided our community and career space into segmentations created and institutionalized and sustained by us, we no longer place value on the achievements of other people.  We feel threatened by people outside our sphere of influence.  The concept of team spirit has been alienated from our midst,  as we seek only our only objectives, even at the expense of others, as long as we retain our "PRO"  status.  But seriously, what does being a prof...

Cleared For Ministry

Image
Cleared for Ministry The call into ministry has, is, and will always remain a noble one.  It is an invitation to work for the greatest Monarch the world has ever known.  This is not an engagement where you work and not get paid, neither is it a vocation where what you bring to the table; your talents, skillset, and potentials; are underpriced.  No!  God is a just rewarder of those who, not just seek but serve Him.  Through the ages; the bible has provided us with a well-documented compendium of the fact that God does call men, and He never uses a man without rewarding him.  From the dispensation of the law, where we had the patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to leaders like Joseph, Moses, and Joshua, next to the era of Judges like Deborah, Samson, and then the kings like David, Jonathan, Jehoshaphat, etc. emerged, later we saw Prophets like Samuel, Nathan, Zadok, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, Ezekiel, etc. come on the scene, down to the dispensation of Gr...

How To Preserve The Blessing

Image
Many times, we walk right back into the very same situations God brought us out of by a great and mighty hand, not because God became weak all of a sudden, or lost His dominion and authority, but because we forgot how we got out of it in the first place. When God institutes a process, He is meticulous enough to factor in the entire start-to-finish plan in the blueprint.  He doesn't need to repeat Himself over any particular matter.  In His laws are embedded a dimension of His power that brings those realities to pass, once the force of obedience is engaged.  This goes to say that within everything created is the ability to re-create itself.  That is why God never asked the man to be seedful but to be fruitful.  The seeds will produce fruits which will produce more seeds that will produce fruits with seeds in them, and so the circle continues.  The same circle continues across various sectors of human life.  Every human endeavor is supposed to be self-s...

This Race Called Life.

Image
This Race Called Life. Born into a life full of peace, tranquility, and serenity; and being raised by loving parents in an atmosphere characterized by tender love, warmth, and care; there are many things we have come to know life to be, experientially.  As much as we have been made to believe that life is not a bed of roses; and experiences have amplified that lesson in no small way; there are certain facts about life we need to pay apt attention to. Life is a race as well as a battle, but we need three factors to finish well. Bread, wealth, and favor. The wisest man that ever lived once left us a clue, and wisdom demands that we take a cue from it. I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the strong, and neither is bread to the wise nor riches to those of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of ability , but time and chance overtake them all.  Ecclesiastes 9:11 AMP. Many things were highlighted in this narrative, but i...
