WITH YOUNGER SUCCESS



Relating With More Successful Younger Persons


Now, listen:


1. Give them wise counsel from your experience 


2. Help them with what you have—service, advice, morale support, encouragement, guidance, etc


3. Be a servant leader and be exemplary 


4. Admit your mistakes and take responsibility 


5. Respect them in their own right and space


6. Never try to take undue advantage of them 


7. Be willing and eager to learn from them 


8. Don’t be too proud to ask younger ones questions in order to learn from them


9. Be grateful for any support they give 


10. Be careful not to ask too much for assistance so as to avoid any disrespect and contempt 


11. Be wise and be the mature person 


12. Respect yourself and you’ll be respected 


13. Don’t allow unwarranted disrespect 


14. Never allow envy into your heart


      I repeat: forbid envy from your soul 


15. Never compete for superiority 


16. Celebrate their wins; and genuinely, generously and openly—in family settings—compliment them for excelling and for their outstanding qualities 


17. Acknowledge them for all of their input, and thank them for what you have learned from them


18. Work hard, be grateful for and content with all that God has blessed you with in His providence; you may not fully know why God has made it so


May God grant you His grace and peace.


Abientot, amigos!

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f...

SUPPORT NOT SUPPLANT

  Do we have genuine connections? I’ll give a quick definition of the word supplant. So I can dwell more on the concept of support. To supplant means to take the place of, to displace, to replace or to undermine.  To support is to be actively interested in and concerned for the success of a person or thing, for example: supporting a particular sports team. It also means to provide assistance to, or give approval, comfort, or encouragement to.  It is a product of goodwill and belief in someone or something.  Many of us support different football teams which we gladly and passionately refer to as “our teams”. Observe the enthusiasm, excitement and in some cases excessive zeal or fanaticism with which we promote, defend and celebrate people who do we not personally know, or an enterprise from which we may not even earn a single penny or cent—except for those who are into sports betting.  That’s the power of connection. That’s the power of camaraderie. That’s the po...

OPEN LETTER TO EX AND WARNING TO SINGLES

Image
WARNING TO SINGLES ASPIRING TO MARRIGE AND OPEN LETTER TO AN UNSCRUPULOUS EX To whom it may concern. Don’t marry a man whose leadership, integrity, vision, commitment to and love for you you don’t trust and afterwards rebel against his authority.  Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t meet your standards or requirements, who is not committed to you, who pretends a lot, is deceitful, inauthentic, lacks healthy self-image and is led by or under the control of third parties or public expectation. Marriage is for adults.  Don’t let your parents or peers choose your spouse for you when you are not really into that person or if your values don’t align. Don’t be desperate to get married. Take responsibility for your choice.  Don’t also pretend before marriage so that your target marital candidate chooses you.  If you have already defaulted in these areas and married wrongly, hold yourself accountable and don’t put the blame on one person. Do not deploy sinister schemes to make th...
