'Set Your House in Order': A Prophetic Call for the Church to Repent

Image
I had an encounter with the Lord recently while pressing in through 40 days of new access for the year 2019. I had been using this time of consecration to gain a fresh prophetic perspective for the New Year, when I was pulled out of a dream through the stirring of the Spirit to see Jesus coming as one on the clouds with His magnificent power and glory. When my eyes first beheld the sight of our Savior appearing in all His splendor, I was overwhelmed with His love and the brilliance of His presence. Almost spontaneously, as His radiant smile stretched across the light of His countenance, I cried out, "Lord, is that you? How will we know you?" He replied, 'Holly, time is short.' He then took me on a journey of understanding His heart for true restoration and redemption. And then He showed me how 2019 was a year of the comeback. "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. Then He will send His angels and gather H...

The “3 Cs” of Cellphone Etiquette at the Office

Image
Smartphones give you the ability to get things done no matter where you are, and they are quickly becoming an essential part of conducting business. But distracting notifications can take your attention away from what you’re doing and make it difficult to focus. A study by the University of Texas at Austin found that the mere presence of your smartphone reduces “available cognitive capacity and impairs cognitive functioning, even though people feel they’re giving their full attention and focus to the task at hand.” It’s crucial to set clear and formal boundaries regarding cellphone use in the office. Consider this simple list of rules to help keep everyone present and productive at work: The “3 Cs” of Cellphone Etiquette at the Office 1. Cellphone-free meetings. Face-to-face collaboration is still one of the most effective ways to communicate, making it an essential tool in business. Don’t bring your phone to business lunches—giving your client your undivided at...

How Moral Authority Makes Leaders Better

Image
  How Moral Authority Makes Leaders Better The true measure of leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less. —The Law of Influence, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. I’ve been known for my definition of leadership for more than 45 years: Leadership is influence. If you’ve led people for any length of time, you probably know instinctively that this is true. But have you ever wondered where the influence comes from? No Authority I found myself asking that question in my first leadership job. Just a few weeks out of college, I became the pastor of a small rural church in the farming community of Hillham, Indiana. The word community almost makes it sound bigger than it really was: 11 houses, two gas stations, and a little country store. It was a job I thought I could handle in an environment where I could learn the ropes. The church wasn’t big, it wasn’t in a city, and there were no titans of industry to deal with. I would be a medium fish in a ...

7 Steps to Achieve Your Dream

Image
  “Vision is the spectacular that inspires us to carry out the mundane.” — Chris Widener.  Can achievement be broken down into steps? It isn’t always that clean and easy, but those who achieve great things usually go through much of the same process, with many of the items listed below as part of that process. So if you have been struggling with achievement, look through the following. Begin to apply them and you will be on the road to achieving your dream. Step 1: Dream it. Everything begins in the heart and mind. Every great achievement began in the mind of one person. They dared to dream, to believe that it was possible. Take some time to allow yourself to ask “What if?” Think big. Don’t let negative thinking discourage you. You want to be a “dreamer.” Dream of the possibilities for yourself, your family and for others. If you had a dream that you let grow cold, re-ignite the dream! Fan the flames. Life is too short to let it go. Step 2: Believe it. ...

TRAVEL TIPS: How to pack for hand luggage-only travel

Image
Sometimes you dont really need so much when making that trip, most especially when you are going for that holiday to a new destination you have never been before. It can also be very difficult to know what to pack and how to arrange them without costing you so much inconvenience and cost with your airline. Let take a good look at some few important things to pack, after all you can do a little shopping for other necessary ones if you now intend to spend some extra days or week. What you really need... Footwear - the most important item. Think practical, multipurpose and comfy: eg black trainers or black walking shoes, plus a pair of sandals. Two tops (thick T-shirts, blouses, shirts) - black and/or white can work well and go with everything. Make sure they don't crease easily.  Sleepwear – a T-shirt, vest or camisole can also double as an extr...

6 Important Traits All Successful Entrepreneurs Have in Common

Image
The traits that drive startup founders forward are sometimes seen in a negative light. Entrepreneurs can be seen as aggressive, impatient, hard-headed. And yes, there are plenty of founders who fit that description. But that's only because entrepreneurs usually have a strong instinct around what products will work for people. They push ahead even when others can't see what they're after. And not all of the traits that lead to entrepreneurial success are viewed so negatively. In fact, many of the attributes founders tend to share are essential to their success in relating to others and figuring out what people need. Here's what I've noticed while collaborating with entrepreneurs at Y Combinator and working on several startups: 1. Curiosity Technology develops at different rates and in different ways around the world. Curiosity about those differences is an important attribute for any entrepreneur. Each country has their own interesting,...

THE WORD AND THE SPIRIT

Image
BIBLE REFERENCE: Ezekiel 2:2 Ezekiel 2:2 King James Version (KJV) 2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.  I want you to come along with me as we look deeply into the efficacy and the mystery of the word in the life of a believer, how the word can change a man from ordinary to extraordinary, from natural to supernatural, from weakling to giant, from a failure to a champion. With the word of God in your mouth and the Spirit of God in your heart, you can defeat the armies of the philistines and put them to flight. The Word of God, the written word which is the logos cannot achieve anything on its own without the empowerment of the Spirit of God, when the word is activated by the Spirit of God, it become a weapon and an infallible arrow that cannot miss it's target. When you pick the word, meditate on it and pray with it, as you speak it out, it's no more an ordinary word any longe...

WHATSOEVER HE SAYS TO YOU DO IT

BIBLE REFERENCE : John 2:5 This morning I will admonish you with this few words, 'whatsoever he says to you, do it'. There is no reason to argue with someone that knows everything more than you do, it's my shortest devotional ever writing in this platform. Just go ahead and do whatsoever the Lord has said to you this year. The title of today's devotional was quoted by the mother of Jesus to the people at the marriage in Cana where Jesus performed his first miracle. Your success determines who you listen to in life, who is your coach?, you are one instruction away from your breakthrough and success. Show me your skill and I will tell you the strenght of your obedience to your life Coach. When you fail check whose voice you have been listening to in the past most often. Matthew 13:16 King James Version (KJV) 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. As from today, strive to meditate and take your last order from th...

AND THE WINE FINISHED

FROM THE SERIES: WHATSOEVER HE SAYS TO YOU DO IT BIBLE REFERENCE : John 2:1-5. Yesterday I dwelled shortly on the above series, trying to explain how the Lord intervened in the sudden challenge that happen at a wedding in Cana. The mother advise the people to always pay a close attention to the words of the master, knowing well that he's always on the right side as the omniscience one. No matter how good and perfect your plan maybe in life there will be moment when you will need God to help you intervain in the sudden disappointment and challenge that want to bring embarrassment to you. With Jesus in your plans you are bound to succeed. He will grant you breakthrough and good success. The young man never expected the crowd to be so much that his wine will finish but it happens and he was left with nothing to meet that need, every man need Jesus, no ,after how wealthy and abundantly blessed you might be, you need Jesus to help you solve those problems that your m...

THE LAST WINE IS BETTER THAN THE FIRST

Image
FROM THE SERIES : WHATSOEVER HE SAYS TO YOU DO IT BIBLE REFERENCE : John 2: 7-10 When we allow God to take us through His process and finish His perfect work in our lives, we will experience His peace and joy at last. Going through those processes is not a very palatable experience when you are faced with disappointments and lacks, embarrassing situations like that of this young man that got a shock of his life when the wine finished in the middle of the occasion, this can be so annoying and unbearable more so that the master of the occasion was yet to be served but all these Are working out for your good at the long run when the King of glory steps into the situation for you. Can you imagine the joy and the relief that this young man will experience immediately Jesus turn his waters to wine. All the pains, sorrow and grief disappeared in a moment and what sets in was another moment of celebration and abundance of what to drink. This year 2019, you shall not la...

ONE THING IS NEEDFUL

Image
BIBLE REFERENCE : PSALMS 27: 4. When we are able to harness our focus and concentrate on what is needful and prioritise our life, we will discover a new strength to push through oppositions and difficult times in our lives. This is also applicable to how we walk with God in our spiritual relationship with him, we must discover the most important thing in life and pursue it with our whole strength, mind and heart. The psalmist, David discovered the presence of God as the ultimate place to be, a place to tap strength and wisdom, he saw it as a place of refuge and a stronghold from the storms of life, no wonder he fought and conquered all his foes without loosing in any battle. When you check all through the scripture you will discover that the people who truly walk with God and did wonders were those that recognise the importance of God's presence. Moses was a lover of God's presence, he said if your presence will not go with them he will not even move a...

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE

BIBLE REFERENCE : Romans 5:5 (KJV)   And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Welcome back again after a brief break which come as a result of circumstances beyond my control, please do bear with me as I work towards a consistent posting of this devotional. Beloved when you look all around you, you are bound to see so many reasons and obstacles why you may think what you want to do might not be successful, you will always see reasons why you should give up your hope in God and withdraw all those laudable plans and huge dreams the Lord gave you so many years ago. Yes it happens to me most times and it also happens to every man on earth who is determined to succeed and make an impact on earth. You cannot go beyond your level of Faith and the strength to follow through to the end. The obstacles will always be there, they will always show up at every interjections to your next level...
