TAKING INITIATIVE 1

Show me a man who thinks ahead, I will show you a man who takes initiative. 

The human brain is the best Gift God gave to man, unfortunately it is the most underutilised organ of the human body. 

Let me say this...80% of all the challenges you have today, came as a result of your inability to engage your brain; also, 80% of all the solutions you require in any challenge you have today is resident in your brain. 

School empowers you intellectually, but true intelligence is a product of man's capacity to think. 

Anyone who thinks more than you will be your head, why? They will always have answers you seek and so...you will always seek after them.

Do you know why Joseph was released from Prison? The effectiveness of his brain-work. 

Do you know why Pharaoh made him the Prime Minister of Egypt? The effectiveness of his brain-work. 

Guess what...? 

"...but you have the mind (mental capacity) of Christ..." 1 Corinth. 2:16 KJV [paraphrase are author's]. 

Please put that mind to use. 

Believe it or not, your true worth in the market place of life is in the quality and effectiveness of your brain-work. 

Taking initiative is you living life thoughtfully; thinking in advance and making moves accordingly.  

It's time to start thinking and making moves that makes 5 years ahead of today glorious. 

Some wait for the future, others hope in the future only very few seize the future by taking initiative today. 

Be wise.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

GET READY 2

 In Genesis 41, Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh and suggested as a Nation they will go through two economic phases...hence there is the need to get ready for the second phase (Famine) in the course of the first phase (Plenty). 

Everyone goes through their season of plenty: There is the time when you are young, and the time you will lose your youthfulness; a time where some people will be in paid employment and a time they might either be retired or laid off, there is a time when you are newly married (less expenses) and a time when kids come along (more expenses), etc. 

How are you getting ready for that change? What plans are you making today to enable you secure the ''second phase''? 

Joseph did not prescribe Prayers, neither did he ask them to fast (Gen. 41:33); he told Pharaoh you will need a man who is "Discreet and Wise". It goes to say...Wisdom is a necessary requirement if we must go through the "Phase change" successfully. 

When you look at the economy, what do you see? When you look at your career, what can you see? 

When you look at the rate at which prices and the cost of living is skyrocketing, what can you see? 

It's time to be strategic, it's time to begin to apply yourself to Sound Financial and Economic principles. 

Prayers and Fasting will not make you escape "Hardship" it is Wisdom that will make you go through Hardship successfully. 

"...and Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the STABILITY of thy TIMES..." Isa. 33:6 KJV (paraphrase are author's).

Those who do not plant trees today, will not have shelter to shield them from the harshness of the Sun tomorrow. 

Remember it is not a day or two it's a phase: In Pharaoh's time...it was a seven year period of Famine. 

Not everything in vogue is meant for you; you don't have to attend every ceremony mostly if you are from Africa where certain ceremonies must be attended by a certain type of outfit that has to be bought or paid for. 

Don't eat your tomorrow today; "Get ready" and again...I say "Get ready". 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
