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).

God always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ. See you at the top ©Novelideas

House of Leaders or Warlords

As I ruminate on the ugly incidences that bewildered Benue House of assembly and the House of Representatives this outgoing week where law makers engaged in a free for all, I nodded my head in utmost dismay of what has become of the people we chose to lead us and make laws for us. This is not the first time we will be seeing something of such but every time it occurs it leaves a negative impression of incompetence, immaturity, clueless and law-less law makers on the heart of Nigerians and people all over the world watching. I'm not a political analyst neither do I want to become one but i'm an advocate of good 'leaders-in-a-ship' and I believe that what the nation deserves at this time is a way forward from where we are not engaging in blow throwing and cloth tearing. Leadership is not by occupying position, that is, you are not a leader by being in an office or by holding a post. Leadership is all about influence. Its all about the ability to transform a vi...

God's Got You

I was on a trip recently and we drove into a difficult terrain. The driver did well by maneuvering the terrain well and got us safely out of it. However, during this drifting, I doubted his professionalism to get us out safely, in fact I panicked, I gave my opinions and advise based on my experience of driving. Unfortunately, my driver will do the opposite, stating reasons why my counsel will not work and truthfully, his judgement always proves to be right and at the end he drove us safely to our destination. This experience got me to think of how many times we have given God our thoughts and advice on what he should do or should have done. We tell him the direction we feel is right for us to go and at times drag the steering with Him. God is to be trusted. The moment you make him the driver of your life, you can trust him to take you safely to a glorious destination. The terrain may be difficult, He might drive you through surprising and difficult places, just hold on and trust him. H...

Jehovah Huperekperissou

R ecently I was believing God for financial provisions which were very huge. Having understood the fundamentals of faith, I gathered scriptures upon which my faith can stand. In the process of time, I stumbled upon a particular scripture that seems to be new to me in the scriptures, in fact, I thought my Bible was updated. It is Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him, that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, The fire phrase is " exceeding abundantly " and in the Greek language means Huperekperissou . Huperekperissou is a combination of three words actually; Huper meaning above ek meaning an idea of exhaustlessness, and Perrisos which means exceeding some number or measure, over and above, more than necessary Together Huperekperissou means superabundantly, surpassingly, beyond measure, exceedingly, quite beyond all measure, overwhelming, over and above, more ...
