COMPLETE, NOT COMPETE!

In life, no one is complete. We are created to complete one another. This means, no man is an island by himself whether in knowledge, wisdom, skill or expertise. No man has the exclusivity of everything. We are not created to be independent but dependent on each other. We are created to complement each other. Know that what you don't have, someone has and what others don't have, you have. This is the vagaries of life! It makes the world interdependent! It's ignorant to say, "I don't need anyone, I can do it alone." no. You can't do it alone! Even if you are a multi-billionaire, your money cannot do everything for you. You still need the services of others, to complete your needs. When god created Adam, he knew he was not complete. He decided to create eve to complete him as a suitable helper, not to compete with him in authority. We must understand and appreciate the fact that, we are created with some imperfections and weaknesses. No perfect human being or systems exists in life. With this in mind, we are to come together to complete each other and not to engage in unhealthy competition that creates division. Competition creates room for comparison, leading to jealousy and lack of contentment! For example, even in relationships, understand that your partner has flaws and inadequacies. You are together to complete each other and not compete. When partners in a relationship compete for authority and control, the relationship will hit the rock. There can't be two kings on the same throne! In ministry, god gives us different spiritual gifts to use in edifying his kingdom and not to compete with each other (1 cor. 1:10-13). Every spiritual gift is from the same source working for the same purpose. Use your own gift and not be envious of another's gift. Spiritual competition leads to the spiritual suicide. In corporate organisations, you are employed to complete a team or a system to achieve set goals and objectives, and not to engage in competitive struggles. Run away from corporate competition and focus on achieving your job deliverables. That is what leads to promotion. There is no competition in life; each of us should run our race at our own pace by god's grace to get the ace. So, wherever you find yourself, try to identify any gap and strive to fill or complete it. By this, you are making a difference in society. So endeavour to complete a system and not to compete!

Begin With the End in Mind!

According to Albert Einstein, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Begin with the End in Mind means you must sit down and analyse the benefits, risks and challenges to be envisaged before making any move in life. Beginning with the end in mind is all about asking yourself self-probing questions to determine your objectives and the reasons behind what you want to do or achieve. Therefore; -Before you step out on your daily task, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that relationship, begin with the end in mind -Before you hurt that person, begin with the end in mind -Before you refuse to forgive that individual, begin with the end in mind -Before you join others to backbite, backstab, gossip or hate someone, begin with the end in mind -Before you marry that woman or man, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that business partnership, begin with the end in mind Concerning our lives, it means always having the image of the end of your l

Overcoming Inertia In The Pursuit Of Your Goals.

Image
Is it just me or time really flies, it's already February 3rd ,one month is gone in the year. Most people are still warming up to go, but , there is something called the power of inertia the end of the year brings. Inertia is the tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Big definition for a simple concept. Long and short of what this means is, if you slow down in December at the end of the year, it becomes more difficult for everybody to get going in January and a simple way to check if this is real to you or not is to ask yourself these questions 1. What specific goals did you set in January? 2. What specific activities did you set to accomplish these goals? 3. How much of your goals were yet to be achieved 4. How many of your activity goals were yet to be done? Just in case inertia has taken over, I came as a good external force to hopefully jolt you back into motion. 1. Identify one thing you need to start doing,

The Immutable Secrets of Prosperity

The Immutable Secrets of Prosperity Texts: 3 John 2, Mat. 6:24-33, Joshua 1:8 INTRODUCTION: In the Bible the Apostle John says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 2 What is prosperity? A. One dictionary definition of prosperity is: "a state of being prosperous, wealth or success". Having money can be part of the equation, but not always. Prosperity isn't about what you have or own, but what you feel about what you have or own. It is about recognizing life's abundance. B. Prosperity is not only money—in your pocket, in the bank, in your stock portfolio and CDs. True prosperity is the sense of abundance—the sense that you have the right to live an abundant life, that you are a child of a wealthy Father and Mother who love you and want to give you all their riches. C. Prosperity is your true inheritance. It is health, wealth, happiness, joy, peace, faith, hope, wisdom, being in tune with the f
