Discovering and Harnessing Opportunities

Image
DISCOVERING AND HARNESSING OPPORTUNITIES  Opportunities can best be described as a set of favorable circumstances that make it possible for one to actually achieve or accomplish a desired cause primarily for the purpose of advancing oneself. There is no question about the fact that opportunities are inevitable keys to achieving our dreams and actualizing our goals. Opportunities facilitate the fulfillment of a purpose by making it possible for one to do what one strongly desires. Opportunities can come in different forms. It can be in the form of time, resources, circumstances, ideas, situations, relationships, etc. Opportunities are not impartially distributed. They don’t exist in favor of some ethn ic groups/ regions/ sects, etc. Opportunities abound everywhere. This is a fact that must be firmly established in our hearts primarily as believers and secondarily as Africans because, an average African man believes his success is tied to one greener pasture somew...

Understanding the power of mindset (part 2)

UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF  MINDSET (PART 2 ) In the previous write up, I talked about the significance of mindset in determining the quality of the life you live. As a matter of fact, your life is a reflection of what your mindset is. Everything you do in life is product of what you think subconsciously. I need you to understand the fact that the configuration of man is such that the soul — the house of the mind — is the main determiner of whatever happens in us. The body is designed by God to be just an executioner while the mind is designed to act like a processor. When a thought enters the mind, the mind processes it and sends  information to the body for execution. So, our body is designed to reflect the condition of our mind. This is what makes your mindset very powerful in determining the kind of life you live. No wonder, one of the wisest biblical figure ever lived says, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he"  . You are not what others say...

Understanding the Power of Mindset (part 1)

U NDERSTANDING THE POWER OF MINDSET (Part 1) It is pertinent for you to understand, primarily among many other things, that your mindset goes a long way in determining the quality of the life you live. What is mindset? Mindset basically refers to the orientation and inclination of your mind. That is, it is what you think subconsciously. It is made up of your personal beliefs and convictions.  It is also refers to the vista of your views about things. I have come to discover that what obtains in your life is greatly dependent on the kind of mindset you sustain. Your ideologies and philosophy is very much crucial to determining the outcome of your life. One thing many of us have not come to realize is that there is power in our mindset. Your mindset about things in life has power to determine what happens to you. Your mindset provides premise for whatever happens in your life. Every results in life (whether negative or positive) is facilitated by the orientation of ...

Who told you that you are naked?

WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NAKED? “Your perspectives in life determines the outcome of your life” — Olakunle Orimaye Paul. Myles Munroe said and I quote, “The cemetery is the richest place on earth”. Why did he say that? Because, in the cemetery, you will find books which were never written; songs, never sung; companies never built; inventions, never made; messages, never preached; potentials, never maximized; talents, never used, etc, all buried within people. This is so sad and it’s quite unfortunate. However, the fact that these people all died without releasing all that had been deposited into them is not as painful as realizing that they never fulfilled God’s plan for their lives. A life lived without fulfilling God’s plan to me — which of course is the truth — is nothing but a meaningful and insignificant life. Success is no more than living to achieve the purpose of your existence for the benefit of humanity, and advancement of the kingdom of God. The place ...

Understanding the writings of destiny

UNDERSTANDING THE WRITINGS OF DESTINY   Joseph - the man of destiny Destiny is the predetermined plan of God for one’s life. Your life was carefully planned by God before your conception in your mother’s womb. Nobody is born just to come and fill a space on earth. We are all born to fulfill purpose, and the successful accomplishment of that purpose is the definition of success.  If there was no potiphar's wife, there would be no Joseph the Prime Minister. One who is destiny minded will take very good observation of the things that happen in his life. He/she does not just live life passively but actively. Some of our experiences in life are actually the writings of destiny, but It takes one who is observant enough to understand what destiny is saying at that point in time through the various experiences. Understanding the writings of destiny, that is, to know what destiny is saying at a particular point in time will guide you to mak...
