One of the things that you have to know up-front in the school of advancement is that your testimony of advancement will attract the ''whispers of interested parties.'' And "What do you mean by the whispers of interested parties," You ask? The whispers of interested parties are the reactions that come from those who think and believe that you ought to have remained in one spot in life! Sometimes those interested parties would include your childhood buddies, your neighborhood

One of the commonest foxes (Song of Solomon 2:15) that spoil the vine in a marriage relationship is the attitude that says: "Although we are one in this relationship...I am that one." That attitude is a wrong attitude that can only produce stress and tension. It makes you the center-piece of the marriage, It creates tension, it amplifies the rebellious side of the other person, it builds an invisible wall between couples and causes a once smiling couple to brood and fuss over

In the school of advancement, 'self-talk' is said to be the rate-determining step of life. It gives you a clue into the mental dynamics of your own mind. It tells you what you really believe after all that you might have heard, read or seen from others. It amplifies your own position on an issue even in the face of many 'side-talks.' As a matter of fact, self-talk is said to be superior to side-talks in the journey of life. For example, years ago I had attended an inspiration

As I was pondering on this topic, I remembered a popular detergent advertisement I used to see on the television years ago when I was in the Elementary school. The detergent was known as Super blue Omo and it presented two pre-teen girls dressed in an identical piece of clothing.

One of the most important tools that every leader must keep handy in the school of advancement is a Victory journal. A victory journal reminds us of our daily conquests in life. It stirs a surge of faith in us when the enemy tries to shift our attention to the ugly side of life. It jolts our consciousness to the fact that God is not through with us yet. It tells us that the God that delivered us from six troubles will not fail at the seventh one (Job 5:19). It is a pointer to

Be careful who you allow into your mental space today. Don't open the loins of your mind to 'professional critics' who only watch out for what to criticize in you, about you and around you. Refuse to let the fearful words of 'fear-mongers' keep your business in one spot. Reject the unsolicited advice of 'doubt-activators' whose main job is to introduce little doubts into your dream of building a great professional career. Tell the 'worry-warts' who are never happy until you b

One of the golden ideas every leader must conceive in the school of advancement is the idea of Visionary leadership. Visionary leadership is the capacity to see the future from your present standpoint in the exact way it should be. It is the ability to engage the tool of in-sight to see that future with the eyes of faith. Kindly take note of the fact that I have taken the liberty to hyphenate the word 'in-sight' in order to emphasize it's difference from the word 'out-sight.'

Continued from yesterday: 3. Lack Of Contentment Will Drain Your Joy Apart from the stories ‘you’ tell ‘you’ and the ‘leaky-hole’ of hatred, another factor that can drain our joy is a life that is void of contentment. Talking about contentment does not imply the lack of aspiration to be more, do more and have more of what God has for us, it means the absence of what I call ‘satisfactory advancement.’ Satisfactory advancement is an attitude that says: “I know that I have not y

Joy is one of the forces of the human spirit. It is a product of the regenerated human spirit. Joy dispels depression, neutralizes melancholy, activates productivity, and brings out the best in us. A joyful person is a delightful person to hang around with, live with and work with. He or she radiates the warmth that is palpable in the atmosphere. Oftentimes when we talk about joy, some immediately mistake it for happiness. While being happy is a great thing, there is, however
