EMOTIONAL BEINGS

Image
No matter how logical and intellectual people are. Humans are basically emotional creatures. What other people do has significant effects on our emotions, no matter how we try to deny it. Circumstances also greatly impact our emotions. But to what extent? It depends on individual capacity. Many people make decisions based off of their feelings. It takes a high level of emotional energy or maturity to remain objective, rational and unbiased in every situation, especially when one is not under duress or the effects of other extreme factors, and also especially when it involves family and friends. It takes well-developed emotional strength to be able to dutifully implement the good that is due even to a perceived foe without any prejudice, especially when it Is in your power to execute it. This strength gap or growth gap is reason why effective leadership is farfetched in certain climes, communities and organizations, as it is markedly lopsided and diametrically unaccountable. The solutio...

IMMUNE TO IGNORANCE?

Image
Some people may think that their intellectual and academic prowess or career and financial success immunizes them from gross religious deception. Not at all, for that is purely rooted in their personal scriptural and spiritual ignorance. Even professors can be deceived by false prophets. Doctors, lawyers and engineers can be completely ignorant of God and the realm of the spirit. Even the materially wealthy may be spiritually poor. Even the elderly may be spiritually immature. These are different fields of thought and play. You can’t throw money at demons as exorcism. You can’t solve false doctrines with calculus. You have to play by the rules of the peculiar game. If you truly seek to know the truth about God, then you have to wholeheartedly seek His truth. You have to do the diligence to know the truth. You have to humble yourself as a person and seek to genuinely know God for your own self. You need to give quality time and attention to learn the ways, will, thoughts and logic of Go...

LAWS AND PRINCIPLES

Image
Laws and principles are not subject to our personal beliefs, wishes, feelings, whims and caprices. There are universal and not individual. What you sow is what you reap, whether you believe it or not.  This is called the law of sowing and reaping. Or the law of the seed. Or the law of harvest. It is essentially a metaphorical principle about the consequences of our actions. Again, it states you will reap what you sow, meaning your actions and choices will have consequences that will be reflected in your life and experiences.  What you put into the world, whether it's good or bad, will eventually come back to you. Jump from a high-rise or from an aircraft in the sky without the crucial aid of a parachute, professional skydiver or some other gravity-defying apparatus?  You will experience gravitational pull.  This is called the law of gravity.  These laws are timeless and borderless. These laws are timeless and borderless. As long as you are on the Earth—note this...

WRITTEN CONTRACTS

Image
Ensuring that you have a written contract in place doesn’t not mean you don’t trust the other person.  It protects everyone involved from possible issues in the future and should be a welcome activity.  Any person who has problem with prompt and agile execution of a written contract probably has their unspoken motive for doing so and it is typically not in the best interest of the other party or parties.  Note it most carefully for more critical purposes.  Discuss it with other knowledgeable persons for further consideration and advice, then escalate if ever it becomes necessary or expedient to do so. In any meaningful business, a casual talk with a smile or a handshake is not always enough.  Put the terms in writing and append the appropriate signatures if you really mean business, and if you are sincere and if you truly have nothing to hide. Protect the interests of the stakeholders. Give them requisite assurance and validity. Respect the confidence people pla...

MARRIAGE AND CHURCH

Image
The Church really has no business marrying people. I have never seen anywhere in the Holy Bible where any apostle of Jesus Christ, or any holy prophet of old, or any priest in the Holy Temple, or any Jewish rabbi or teacher in any of the synagogues, or any pastor, bishop or overseer in any of the assemblies of Early Church believers joined a man and woman in marriage. Check the Old and New Testament, then come and tell me. I stand corrected. We are all learning. Yes, marriage was instituted by God as other natural and social processes such as working, interacting, dressing, eating, sleeping, mating, etc. Yet, it only became a religious sacrament when Church and State were commingled in an unholy sociopolitical and socioeconomic union of men. Marriage is essentially a social contract with rich spiritual signiicance and symbolism: the organic connection and meaningful union between Christ and His Church depicting loving leadership and supportive submission.  A beautiful intimacy and ...

POVERTY

Image
I agree with the saying:  “Help poor people but don’t befriend them”.  There are people you must love from a distance. E get why.  They envy you. They can wreck you. They will stain your white. They will covet what you have. They will seek to usurp your position. They take from you but won’t support you. They can reduce you to nothing—their level. As the adage goes:  “If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” This proverb simply means that associating with undesirable or problematic people can lead to negative consequences, even if you don't intend to be negatively affected.  Inotherwords, the company you keep can influence your character and potentially lead you astray. I’ve said it here before.  “Help poor people but don’t befriend them”.  Just as you relate with all sorts of people but you won’t make them close friends and trusted allies. It’s called contact without contamination. But I clarified that poverty is not just absence of wealth b...

SLEEPY STATE OF MIND

Image
Be careful of all these online meetings that hold at night—when you’re tired and in your sleepy state. That is when your brain wave is at its lowest frequency.  It is somewhere between the theta and the delta state or brain wave band, where you are transiting from consciousness into unconsciousness. They take advantage of this state of your mind. Your body is in a state of complete relaxation and your mind is not very active at that time. Why do they do this? They’re trying to program your subconscious mind. In other words, you’re being subtly hypnotized. Especially when they’re trying to share a new idea or a confusing concept, or trying to selling you a less-than-great business deal, product or service. Also, more especially when they ask or suggest that you ‘make a decision’ almost immediately. Perhaps offering a supposedly ‘great or fantastic deal’ which you need to grab or ‘take advantage’ of ‘before midnight’ or some other specified crazy deadline or you will definitely ‘miss...
