How to Plan for Your Life

Foundation
_God has a plan for me.
_God has designed me for that plan. Abilities, Talents, 
_Uses my experiences to equip me for God's plan. He makes all things work for good for those who...
_God's plans will touch other people's lives. Thus you must learn how to deal with people(people's skills)
_Time-bound. Everything in life is time-bound. What must be done now, must be done now. Time Mgt.
_Fulfilling God's plan will give me fulfillment in life.

Should we plan?
James 4:16; arrogance...don't plan without God in the picture
Matthew 6:31-34, For tomorrow will take care,....don't live in anxiety
Luke 14:28; count the cost...plan adequately for the things you want to do.
Genesis 13;14-15, For all the land you see belongs to you... A human can see 15km are thereabout, thus Abraham was not only supposed to see with human eyes but also with imagination
Habakkuk; document the vision

Quests
_What person do I want to be in 20 years? What kind of character do you want to have?
_What do you want to have accomplished 20 years from now
_What do I want to be doing 20 years from now?
_What should I own? 

 Jesus should be the center of it all

10 Imported Ideas That Have Failed in Africa

Image
For decades, African nations have adopted Western political systems, education models, economic structures, and social values, assuming these blueprints would produce similar success. But many of these systems, when transplanted directly into Africa, underperform—or worse, backfire. Why? Because successful systems are deeply rooted in context. Culture, history, geography, and worldview all matter. Importing ideas without adapting them to local realities is like planting foreign seeds in unfamiliar soil—they may sprout, but they rarely thrive. Let’s explore 10 key Western systems that often fail in Africa—and practical solutions to localize or reinvent them . 1. Western-Style Democracy and Political Systems Why It Fails: Western democracy assumes civic maturity, individual-based voting, strong institutions, and respect for law.

Nature teaches us something deeply spiritual and practical: what starts small doesn’t have to stay small . 🔍 Why We Despise Small Beginnings Let’s be honest — starting small feels… insignificant. It’s tempting to think: “I only have 3 clients.” “My blog only has 50 readers.” “My savings account is laughable.” “No one knows my name.” But we forget: giants are built, not born.
