Dear salary earner.....

Copied.... For the Salary Earners .....this week is your salary paying week....as you collect your salary I want you to ponder on this: "When your salary comes in, you eat chicken. As the salary reduces you eat products of Chicken (Eggs) and subsequently you begin to eat chicken's food, (maize and millet), and finally, when salary is finished, you become chicken itself, spending your time walking around just looking for what to eat"! A wise investment will provide opportunities for one to always eat Chicken whenever he or she pleases! THINK INVESTMENT! THINK ENTREPRENEURSHIP!....

DON'T GIVE UP

Text: Luke 5.17-26  18   And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means  to bring him in, and to lay  him  before him.  19   And when they could not find by what  way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with  his  couch into the midst before Jesus. The friends of the paralysed man in this passage tried bringing him to Jesus but the crowd was so much that they could not reach Jesus through the door. Instead of giving up and taking the paralysed man back home, they broke the roof and created another path through which they brought the man to Jesus. 1. DON’T GIVE UP BECAUSE OF A FAILED ATTEMPT You tried running a business before but it didn’t work. Don’t give up because of that. Give entrepreneurship another shot. You failed an exam before. Don’t give up. Pull yourself together and go for it again. Failure is an opportunity to start all over again more intell

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IS OVERRATED

Abioye Isaac had this narrative: “Academic excellence is overrated! Did I just say that? Oh, yes, I said it.  Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.  You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn’t mean you will make more money than everybody else. infact you have to learn investment and seed sowing. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.  The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorize it and reproduce it in an exam.  School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination and commitment .  School rewards caution, life rewards daring,risk taking.  School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones,Excellence is the Goal, aiming to improve processes, to do it better and bigger. So do I mean people shouldn’t study hard in school? Oh, no, you should, read with passion.

WHY I'M COMMITTED TO TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE

By Tayo Onaleye In Luke 10 Jesus told a story that has now become world famous.......that of the good Samaritan. I saw in that story Jesus' definition of love: it is taking care of people at your own expense with no strings attached. Luk 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and TOOK CARE OF HIM. V:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, TAKE CARE OF HIM; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I WILL REPAY THEE. Jesus taught the person who loved the wounded man was the one who took care of him....at his own expense and without any strings attached. That's how Jesus defined love. And that's my definition of love too.....taking care of people at your own expense with no strings attached. That's why I'm committed to taking care of people at my own expense with no strings attached.

4 STRATEGIES THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept—the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll look for another way. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go. Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important perspective. You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants gather their winter food in the middle of summer. An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to think ahead. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got

BEAUTY OF FAILURE

By Prof. Mokuolu The Beauty of Failure My earnest desire is that you should not fail in your endeavors in life. But should failure occur, you should know that you have been presented with an opportunity to surpass your initial effort. Do not give up. Instead examine your failure, identify what went wrong and make another attempt while avoiding previous mistakes. With the Lord's help, the output will surprise you. This is what I call the beauty of failure; it is life's opportunity for greater heights. May God strengthen you at your point of discouragement. Don't give up on a good cause.  #OlugbengaMokuolu

THE POWER OF COLLABORATION

Copied... We need to collaborate and co strategize like the ants , the white men for 1 percent of 100million is better than 100percent of personal effort without results .....Pick a random foreign song you love. Google the song on Wikipedia. You'd observe something. If you don't, pick another song and repeat the process.  You'd be amazed at the collaborative efforts that goes into these songs we all love. It could be A's idea. Then he'd share it with B. B would suggest C to fine tune it. But it is still D that would be the best person to interpret it. After all said and done E would be called to add the ingredients that would make it appealing without losing the original essence. When E is done, F would be called to assemble it from abstract to concrete. F would do the PR after all, if it is good but no one hears it, what's the point... See the trend?  . But here, no. Someone will have a brilliant idea and because of morbid fear (valid by the way) of another

WHO ARE YOU CONNECTED TO?

WHO ARE YOU CONNECTED TO? Tayo Onaleye Because of Jonah a whole ship was in jeopardy. Jonah 1. 12  And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that *for my sake this great tempest is upon you.* Because of Paul all the lives on a ship were saved. Acts 27. 24  ......Fear not, Paul....... *God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.* It matters a great deal who you've got on board.....or whose ship you're boarding. So..... Who's on your ship.....or whose ship are you boarding........Paul....or.......Jonah?

WHAT AURA DO YOU CARRY?

*WHAT ARE YOU BRINGING ON-BOARD?* Tayo Onaleye Jonah brought an aura of curses into the ship. His rebellion rubbed off on the group. Because of Jonah a whole ship was in jeopardy. Jonah 1. 12  And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that *for my sake this great tempest is upon you.* Achan had the same effect. But Paul was the exact opposite. He brought an aura of blessing into the ship. Genesis 12.3 .....in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. The blessing he carried spread to others. It's called *spiritual covering* Because of Paul all the lives on the ship were saved. Acts 27. 24  ......Fear not, Paul....... *God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.* *You have a definite effect on the group.* Your aura rubs off on people. You're either making the group *better* or *bitter* So..... What are you bringing on-board? What are you bringing to the company? What are you b

MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Jesus couldn't do without the Holy Spirit. He commanded us too to ensure that we do the work He has committed into our hands through the help of the same Holy Spirit. So we need to understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. *Point 1:  Salvation* Salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit in the human spirit. Without the Holy Spirit nobody can get saved. The Holy Spirit convicts the sinner and draws him to Jesus. Joh 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: John 3. 5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, *Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.* Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy *he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;* The Holy Spirit creates a

THE POWER OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES

Today we shall be looking at the power of praying in tongues 1. It builds you up It builds you up on the inside. It builds up your spirit man. It renews and refreshes you. Jude verse 20  But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost 1Corin 14.4   He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 2. You pronounce deep secrets of God When you speak in tongues, utterances emanate from deep down in your spirit. These utterances are from the Holy Spirit who is within you. You are actually pronouncing the mind of God when you speak in tongues. Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 1Cor 14. 2  For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1Cor 2.10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spi

SALARY!

Copied.... SALARY!! Research had it that the poorest groups of people in the world are Salary earners, next to beggars. They live in a vicious cycle of poverty, managed on 30 days. Salary is continuously being awaited every month and any slight delay brings about heartbreaking anxiety, pressure and disappointment. Salary is a short term solution to a life time problem. Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need multiple Sources of  income to balance. The tax return form contains about 11 income streams, of which salary is just one. Don't live Life fishing with just one hook, there are many fishes in the ocean. Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, not to  CURE it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT Cures Poverty. Most investors are not salary earners. The difference between those beggars on the street and salary earners is one month salary. Truncate the flow of their salary for one month and you would realize that majority belong to the  lower class.  I

INVEST AS YOU EARN

BINVEST AS YOU EARN......The hope for salary earners Tayo Onaleye One of the greatest things you can do for your future is the discipline of consistent investment. Being a salary earner is not a disadvantage if you practice the discipline of consistent investment. History has shown over and over that earning a big salary does not give immunity to financial calamities. Basically, it is not so much in how much you earn as in what you do with what you earn. Wealth correlates more with *investment* than with *income* So the real deal is *consistent, monthly savings ploughed into investment EVERY MONTH* By doing so you would be taking advantage of the power of compound effect. And you can actually outperform big earners who don't save and invest. Make it a discipline to *invest every month without default* This is one of the greatest financial moves you can make for your future. So how do you do that? *Put yourself into an automatic investment structure.* You shouldn't

Focus on your strength

The Animal School by George Reavis, 1940 Once upon a time the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of a “new world” so they organized a school. They had adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming, and flying. To make it easier to administer the curriculum, all the animals took all the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming. In fact, better than his instructor. But he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. Since he was slow in running, he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running. This was kept up until his webbed feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming. But average was acceptable in school so nobody worried about that, except the duck. The rabbit started at the top of the class in running but had a nervous breakdown because of so much makeup work in swimming. The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flyi

3 STEPS TO THE MIRACULOUS

THREE STEPS TO THE MIRACULOUS Text: Luke 5.1-7 In this passage we have a situation where Peter and his partners had labored all night and caught nothing. Their failure to make a catch was not as a result of lack of skill and laziness. The situation clearly required divine intervention. Hard work and great qualifications are sometimes not enough. There are times when the solution is a miraculous intervention. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13.8). He  is still in the business of working miracles in the lives of those who trust Him. Here are the steps to the miraculous from this story: 1. A STRONG DESIRE Luk 5:5  And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night…. Peter had a strong desire to succeed. That’s the reason why he labored all night. He was a hard-working person. He wanted to win. You must have a very strong desire to succeed.  Desire must precede prayer. It must precede supplication. Your desires must
