Principles of living from an overcomer

  Lessons; 1. Ignorance is a not demon. It is solved by knowledge. 2. Expectations are defined. These are the areas that expectations need definition. They are also the measure of success; Spiritual Growth, Mental Transformation, Purpose & Ambitions, Health and wellness, Financial well-being, Relationships, Fulfillment and meaning. Joseph had prepared and he remained steadfast till his Kairos moment. 3. People are not really affected by what happens to them, they are affected by the meaning they attach to those happenings. What do the different life events mean to you? what meaning do you attach to them? 4. You need encouragement/motivation to start anything but it takes discipline and consistency is discipline and endurance. Staying power even alone and the ability to say no to many good things. There time you need the staying power. Sometimes you just need to close the pot and wait for the food to cook. 5. Do not be hasty with words or with commitments. Think, pray & seek...

Choose Life

Image
Consequences are connected by default to decisions. At times, some deaths are as a result of some decisions. To choose means; 1.  That you are aware of other options. The path you saw may be one of many paths available. The options; _Grace and Honour, Dignity & Glory _Mediocrity _Life of total confusion _Life of total defeat. 2,. Conclude on a path to follow after carefully examining the various outcomes they produce. Choices and decisions are pathways, they always lead somewhere. Prolonged indecision is giving circumstances permission to choose for you. It takes making decisions to rise in life and making decisions to fall as well. The real value of wisdom is in its ability to make superior destiny-advancing decisions. Excuses and offenses are Satan's weapons of mass destruction. You can pray and still make bad choices. Your choices will influence you more than your prayers. 7 destiny-defining decisions 1. Decision to know the Lord and serve Him all the days of your life. 2. D...

What makes people/institution not to last

_Pride Proverbs The refusal to acknowledge God. Your passion to last must be more than passion to be known. Solution; in all your ways acknowledge HIM _Arrival Mentality 1st Corinth 2; Always learning. The school of life is a place where you are only admitted but never graduate. Nobody claps for you twice for the same results. Today's excellence will be tomorrow's mediocrity -Distractions and compromises You must press!

You are not looking at me...why are you looking at me?

Image
One time, my Eve, asked me, 'You are not looking at me today?.'....I was like my good world, what kind of accusation is this? lol. And then later in the day, she asked me, 'Why are you looking at me?' I raised up my hands to the heavens and I was like, 'Are Adam and Eve supposed to be living on the same planet?

Automate. Automate. Automate.

Image
In today's fast-paced world, efficiency and productivity are highly valued attributes. We are constantly seeking ways to make our lives and work processes more streamlined, freeing up time for what truly matters. One powerful solution that has gained increasing prominence in recent years is automation. It's a simple concept with profound implications: automate repetitive tasks, so you can focus on more meaningful endeavors. In this article, we will explore the mantra "Automate. Automate. Automate." and delve into why automation is a game-changer for both personal and professional life. The Power of Automation Automation refers to the use of technology and systems to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. It is not limited to just one aspect of life or work but has a wide array of applications. Time Savings: The most obvious benefit of automation is the significant time savings it offers. By automating routine tasks, you reclaim precious hours in your day that ...

Ignorance Tax

Image
The term "ignorance tax" is often used metaphorically to describe the financial or opportunity costs that individuals may incur when they lack knowledge or information in various aspects of life, including personal finance, decision-making, and legal matters et Healthcare Costs: Individuals who are uninformed about preventive healthcare measures or the benefits of health insurance may face higher healthcare costs in the long run. Regular check-ups, early detection of health issues, and appropriate insurance coverage can help reduce this "ignorance tax" on healthcare expenses. Relationships; What you don't know will cost you pain or money. Investment and Retirement Planning: Ignorance about investment options, retirement planning, and tax-efficient strategies can lead to lower retirement savings and higher tax liabilities. By not taking advantage of retirement accounts or investment vehicles, individuals may pay a significant "ignorance tax" in the form...

Follow patterns of the 90% not the 10% even though both are successful.

Image
In the pursuit of success, many are often tempted to replicate the lives and actions of successful individuals. While it's true that learning from others can be valuable, it's equally important to understand that success often follows patterns rather than people. In this article, we'll delve into the idea that following success patterns, specifically those with a 90% success rate, holds a higher potential for achieving your goals compared to trying to emulate the outliers in the remaining 10%. The Power of Success Patterns Consistency and Reliability: Success patterns are built on consistent and reliable principles that have proven to work across various situations and industries. These patterns have stood the test of time, making them a more dependable choice for achieving success. Efficiency and Effectiveness: Patterns of success are typically more efficient and effective because they have been refined and optimized over time. They represent the distilled wisdom of countl...

Core Decisions Every Person Must Make

Image
Taking notes as Joshua Selman preaches. 1. Decision to know God 2. Decision to transform the mind; what changes is the mind, not the clothes  3. To know and live your purpose 4. To be physically healthy; adopt healthy habits. 5. Decision to be financially empowered. Proverbs 22:7-9 The rich rule over the poor, And the borrower is a servant to the lender. He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: And the rod of his anger shall fail. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; For he giveth of his bread to the poor. Rich:Young:Ruler 6. Quality Relationships Joseph interpreted three dreams; the baker, the prisoner, and the king. I am sorry(not sorry). Thank you(not thanks). Please. God bless you. Kinds of relations; General Relationships(Honor all people), Destiny Relationships(swallow your pride and protect by all means_Never give people access beyond their last piece of honour), Seasonal Relationships_ (As short as one week and they are for Kairos moment.

The Mustard Seed.

Image
The mustard seed is a tiny seed that holds profound wisdom and life lessons. This small seed symbolizes faith, growth, and the potential for remarkable transformation.  Faith and Belief: The mustard seed is famously mentioned in the Bible, particularly in the teachings of Jesus. In the New Testament, in the book of Matthew 17:20, Jesus says, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." This verse underscores the idea that even the tiniest amount of faith can lead to extraordinary outcomes. In life, it reminds us that having unwavering faith in our abilities, dreams, and aspirations can move mountains and help us achieve our goals. Belief in ourselves and our potential is a driving force for personal growth and achievement. Growth and Transformation: The mustard seed starts as a minuscule particle but grows into a large, flourishing plant. Its remarkable gr...

Contributing Factors & Determining Factors

Image
  Life is an intricate web of events, circumstances, and choices that shape our experiences and outcomes. In this intricate dance, there are two kinds of factors at play: determining factors and contributing factors. While contributing factors represent the elements we can influence, it is equally important to understand the power of determining factors in our lives.  Contributing Factors should NEVER be the determining factors in your life.

.., your wife is in class 4.

Image
When I was in Form 1(secondary school), my Chemistry teacher, Mr. Ndegwa, said, 'Young man, your wife is in class 4 in primary school. Leave these girls alone!' This is the most truthful statement that I came to realize later. In the world of relationships, there's a common adage that says, "Age is just a number." While this may hold true in many cases, it's essential to consider the deeper implications of this age-old saying, especially when it comes to the dynamics between men and women. One often overlooked aspect is the difference in social maturity between genders, which can have a profound impact on the choices young people make when it comes to romantic relationships. It's not uncommon to hear stories of young men dating or marrying women who are a few years their junior. In fact, it's a pattern that's been observed for generations. But why does this happen? The answer lies in the fascinating realm of social maturity. Studies and anecdotal e...

You can't defy the law of gravity but there is another law...

Image
The law of gravity, a fundamental force of nature, holds us firmly to the Earth's surface. It's a force we can't defy. Yet, in the realm of science and human innovation, another law exists, one that allows us to soar above the Earth—the law of aerodynamics. Beyond its physical application in aviation, this law offers profound insights into the potential for growth, achievement, and transformation in our lives.  Understanding the Law of Aerodynamics In the world of physics, aerodynamics deals with the study of the behavior of air as it interacts with solid objects, such as airplanes. It explains how, by generating lift, aircraft can overcome the force of gravity and take flight. In essence, the law of aerodynamics demonstrates that with the right knowledge, tools, and effort, we can defy gravity and reach new heights. Setting Our Sights on New Horizons Much like an airplane taking off, our lives often require us to set our sights on new horizons. We may face obstacles that s...

Life is Just Systematic

Image
Life is a magnificent interplay of systems, from the intricacies of the human body to the pursuit of our goals and dreams. Much like the rhythmic beating of our hearts, the systematic nature of existence underscores the importance of consistency in everything we do.  Imagine for a moment that the heart, a marvel of biological engineering, decided to take a break from its systematic pumping. Chaos would ensue. Our bodies depend on the heart's relentless rhythm to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every cell, ensuring our survival. The heart's commitment to consistency is a testament to the vital role it plays in our lives. Much like the heart, our pursuit of personal development and growth relies on consistency. Whether it's learning a new skill, adopting healthy habits, or nurturing relationships, progress often hinges on persistent effort. Consistency in practice and learning allows us to build expertise, develop character, and become the best versions of ourselves. Success ...

How to set standards

Image
Setting personal standards and values is a deeply personal and introspective process that is often shaped by a multitude of factors. While cultural norms, family upbringing, and personal experiences play significant roles, for many individuals, spirituality, and faith hold a paramount influence on the development of their moral compass. In this article, we delve into the three key spiritual factors that can profoundly impact how individuals set their personal standards. Revelation from God Many individuals draw inspiration and guidance from their spiritual beliefs. Whether it's through prayer, meditation, or religious texts, people often seek revelations and insights from a higher source or deity. These revelations can provide a moral framework that informs their values and standards Spiritual Maturity and Growth Spiritual maturity is a journey that often accompanies personal growth within one's faith or belief system. As individuals deepen their spiritual understanding, they m...

Because it is a new day

Image
  The journey of life is filled with an array of emotions, circumstances, and motivations that often dictate our actions and decisions. There are days when we are brimming with enthusiasm, ready to conquer the world, and then there are those when we'd rather stay in bed and avoid the world altogether. But amidst this ever-changing emotional landscape, there's something powerful about choosing consistency. It's the unwavering commitment to certain actions, not because we always feel like it, but because it's a new day and that, in itself, is reason enough to keep going. The Power of Consistency Consistency is the bedrock upon which success is built. While the idea of doing something every single day may seem daunting, it's precisely this commitment that fosters personal growth, resilience, and lasting change. Whether it's pursuing a passion, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, or achieving professional goals, consistency is the secret sauce that transforms ordinary ...

The Vision is Correct but the Timimg is Wrong.

Image
"The vision is correct, but the timing is wrong" encapsulates a profound truth that has been echoed throughout human history. It speaks to the idea that our goals, dreams, and aspirations may indeed be aligned with a greater purpose, but the manifestation of these visions may not always occur when we expect them to.  Divine Timing in the Bible Abraham and Sarah's Long-Awaited Promise: In the book of Genesis, we encounter the story of Abraham and Sarah. God had promised them a child, but as time passed, their faith was tested. Sarah was well past her childbearing years, and the fulfillment of the promise seemed impossible. However, in due course, in the fullness of God's timing, Sarah bore a son, Isaac. This narrative highlights the significance of divine timing, showing that God's plans are always fulfilled, even if they do not align with our human schedules. Joseph's Journey to Leadership: The story of Joseph in the book of Genesis is another poignant example...

The Power of Learning from Experience: A Lesson from Mt. Kenya

Image
Embarking on any new endeavor in life can be both exciting and daunting. Whether you're looking to start a business, begin a new chapter in your personal life, or undertake any challenging task, the thought of navigating uncharted waters can be overwhelming. In such moments, there's a valuable lesson to be learned from the world of mountaineering, particularly from the majestic Mt. Kenya. Just as one seeks guidance from those who have successfully climbed this iconic peak, so too can we learn from experienced individuals when starting a business, entering a marriage, or pursuing any other significant venture. Learning from Mt. Kenya Climbing a mountain like Mt. Kenya is no small feat. It requires careful planning, physical and mental preparation, and a deep understanding of the challenges that lie ahead. To many, the prospect of scaling this formidable peak might seem impossible, but those who have successfully reached its summit often share a common secret: they sought guidanc...
