PEOPLE....GREATEST JOY, GREATEST PAIN

Tayo Onaleye


Lessons from Genesis...

PEOPLE....GREATEST JOY, GREATEST PAIN

Relationships are crucial to life.

Your greatest joys will come from relationships....so will your greatest pains.

Lot and Hagar caused a lot of pain to the family of Abraham.

But his friends also supported him in no small way in the day of battle.

So we can't do without people.

Some will give you joy, others pain.

The trustworthy staff who is a key player to the productivity of your organisation.....and the Judas who betrays you with a kiss.

It's all part of the journey.

But as we mature on this journey of life....

You get wiser and become more discrete.

You learn that, like the brothers of Joseph, not everybody can handle the dimensions of your future.

You learn to be selective.

There are three compartments to your life: the outer court, inner court and holy-of-holies.

Not everyone belongs to the inner court of your life.

Disaster, betrayal and pain become inevitable when you lack discretion and bring outer court individuals into the inner court of your life.

Grow in maturity.

Grow in wisdom.

Grow in love.

Trust but verify.

Your greatest joys and greatest pains will come from people.

Be more discrete.

Cheers.

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd.  He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...
