Flexible But Focused

If you watch football, you'll notice that there are different formations (game plans, patterns); the 4 4 2, 4 3 3, 4 2 3 1 etc. Some favour the all attack, others the defence and sometimes both. Which ever one the coach and his team players decide to use, the most important thing is that the players get on the pitch and WIN.

This is achieved by applying the formation initially practised in the main match and scoring goals. However what is sometimes obtained on the pitch may not seem to favour the initial game plan or formation, so the need for some adjustments.

Thank God for 'half time' where coaches review their various game plans. The main goal still remains winning by scoring as many goals as possible, defend too, in order not concede many goals.

So it is with life, we have our God- given assignments(dreams) and also a perceived or prepared plan or pattern of achieving it. As we go on day by day, we do face challenges and difficulties. What we can do at such points is to take some time and revise our plan and not be quick to revise our dream(God given dream).

George S. Patton Jr. said,'successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.'

It may be an organisation that you are leading, Peter Drucker said,' the question that faces strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is "what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?'.

For that goal, dream, or ambition you have, be open minded, stay flexible and learn to adapt, knowing that 'the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord'(Psalm37:23).

Favour Demystified

W elcome to another Wednesday’s insight series. I believe you are set to get another insight today so, let’s dive in. Dictionary defines favour as an act of kindness done or granted out of goodwill. It is also to show preferential treatment to someone. Favour is derived from the same root word as Grace, CHARIS. And this makes favour to be as powerful as grace. But while grace is totally unmerited and unearned, favour can be deserved, gained and entreated. There are two dimensions of favour; favour with God and favour with man. The greatest dimension is to be in favour with God because when you have that, favour with man comes cheaply. You don’t beg for man’s favour when you are in favour with God, God himself will cause men to favour you-He will cause you to find favour with people regardless of how high and mighty they are. Another truth about favour is that it does not have prejudice for colour, race, gender or location. You’re a candidate for favour as long...

GETTING IT RIGHT Pt 3; Just before you Jump

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...

Therefore I attempted to learn more about weakness and thus I'm sharing with you my discoveries about weaknessess. First, a weakness is a crack in your wall.
