work: AN EXTENTION OF WORSHIP

I really thank God for a beautifull year. God has really been faithful. I am greatful
for his mercies. I look back with gratitude. If i did not accomplish all my goals for
this year guess who messed up......me



work: AN EXTENTION OF WORSHIP

As a human resource and productivity analyst i am always fascinated by new approaches
to ensure that individuals give their best and get the best out of their labour.

what motivates people to work? Money appears to be a short term measure. Increase employees salary
and you may only get an insignificant improvement in productivity. Initially the increase
in pay may motivate people to work harder but after a while they get used to the new pay and
are no longer motivated by it.

what then can keep an individual motivated perpetually?


I read a comment on a site www.dipotepede.com and i see a lot of sense in it.


"People in India consider 'Work as Worship' and this feeling has led to our success
in various spheres of life". Nitesh Gupta – a 22-year old entrepreneur based in India


when you realise that you work is an act of worship to God you will always put in your best effort.

you will even require little or no supervision since you will always be conscious of the presence of God.

Even if what you are doing now does not look like where you are going...do you best.

"someone is always watching you who is capable of promoting you or reccomending you for a promotion".

Faith with works

“The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step” Chinese Proverb

Don’t sit down and take what comes. Go after what you want. Mediocre men wait for opportunities to come to them. Strong, able, alert men go after opportunities. Mike Murdock says pursuit is the proof of desire. In this life we only get the things for which we hunt, for which we strive and for which we are willing to sacrifice. Faith is too believe what we do not see and the reward for this faith is to see what we believe. There is strength in faith. He who believes is strong and he who doubts is weak. Strong actions precede great actions. The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubt of today. You need to write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. When you have this consciousness, you put in your best effort daily. This is important because someone is watching you who is capable of greatly rewarding you.

Moving with the right people will also encourage you to take the right action at the right time. When you are with the right people, the best comes out of you and the worst part of you dies. You need to find your place….where your talents meets the needs of the market. A great sage says that “no man will be ideally successful until he has found his place, like a train, he is strong on the rail line but weak anywhere else. You cannot continue to waste a part of your life in attempts to display qualities you do not posses.

Pursue your dreams….what you have a deep interest in. more men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent. I challenge you today; it is never too late to be what you might have been. Have you failed in a venture before? Never mind failure is a delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street. Since it does not cost money to dream, you will only do yourself good to stretch your imagination. Don’t put a limit on what you will do thereby placing a limit on what you can do. If you are afraid of mistakes, you cannot arrive at mastery. I will close with the words of Mike Murdock “You will never possess that you are unwilling to pursue”. Reach out to your dreams.

Push the Faith button

“Your seeds are a reflection of your faith” anon

There are two ways to respond to any circumstance in life. You either respond with faith or in fear. The response you select is often the difference between failure and success in life. I will like you to note that your greatest mountain will succumb to smallest seed of faith. Greatness is the child of crisis. I see you emerging strong from this situation. You won’t go down with the stock market. I see you walking over the waters separating you from your destiny. Your attitude really matters when the going gets tough.

God is on the side of faith. Situations succumb to faith. I challenge you to exercise your faith. If there is ever a time to be a believer ……this is the time. Pursue your goals, dreams and aspirations. The severity of your storms reveals the size of the miracles enroute to you. The truth is nothing is as bad as it first appear. Ask Daniel in the lion’s den. Do not be overwhelmed by the seeming size of the obstacles.

Your miracle is not as far as it first appears. As a result, you need to forge ahead. You need to make your priorities habitual. Put efforts into your dreams daily. This is the only way you can unlock your full potentials. Concentrate on the success of every one you meet. Give someone a gift they cannot get anywhere else.

Sow your seed of kindness, love, time and talent. Your seed is anything that you have that can benefit someone else. Your seed can multiply. Do you have issues with your present harvest then examine your seeds. Your seeds are a reflection of your faith.

Faith does not give in to circumstances neither does it blame it. If you don’t like the circumstances that surround you right now then create the circumstances that you desire. Great things don’t start great. Persistency and consistency in small things is the greatness therein.

Road Map to National Development

“Anybody saying it can’t be done is liable to be interrupted by somebody doing it. Nothing is impossible to the human spirit. Just dare” Anon

How are we going to get to the promise land? This is the question people of faith ask. Yes the skeptics simply say it can’t be done. People of faith want to know their role. The part they have to play….their contribution. What is the roadmap to our economic breakthrough?

We have looked outward to long. By now we should have realized that our help is not from abroad. We need to look upward and inward. Real help is in our midst. What we can get at best from abroad are mere shadows and not substances. Temporary and short-lived reliefs are not permanent solutions. Charity they say begins at home. We need not fight globalization. All we need to do is to make our products and services global in usefulness and relevance.

Can you conceive a tomorrow where your shirt will not be regarded as modern or standard if it is not made from Adire or Aso-oke. I know someone is saying this guy has gone bananas. Believe it we need to adjust our mindset to change our lot. When GSM was introduced into the country they said it was not possible. An indigenous company made it a reality!

Do we need more respect then we need to accord it to ourselves. We need to stop going to international meetings with cap in hand begging for alms. We have got to help ourselves. We have to live within our means. The starting point is by appreciating what we have gotten at our disposal right now. All we need to do is to repackage and rebrand our products.

We have to break from this vicious cycle of poverty. Vicious by the way means self sustaining. It is self sustaining because it is powered by habit i.e. the things we do daily. We need to make a conscious effort to break into the cycle of wealth. This too is sustained by habits.

We need to change our consumption, investment and saving patterns. It is not really about how much money enters how hands but how much we are able to save and invest. Poor People or nations usually claim that they don’t save and invest because they are unable to earn good income. The rich people and nations save and invest a fixed proportion of their income no matter how meager or fat.

Another area where we need urgent change is in our housing and rent structure. In developed world, you do not pay 2 years rent in advance like we do here. Rent should be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis. Imagine how much money you will free up for investment if we follow a similar pattern. I hope the house of assembly or representative will address the issue.

Never Envy Others

Never Envy Others
Written by Adeosun Oluyemi www.yemiadeosun.blogspot.com 08055575654

We all have the ability to succeed in life. It is our time that differs. Never envy others because your time will come. Our assignment differs so our preparation requirements are different. In the real sense of it, there are no mates. Each individual is in a class of his own. That you are age mates or colleagues do not matter or count. An African proverb says “age is regret’. What counts is your assignment, vision, purpose and what you do with it.

‘Tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today” African proverb

Envy robs you of your creativity. It takes your focus off the real thing. You may not realize how close to a breakthrough you are right now. In spite of your present situation please endeavor to move forward. Against all odds do forge ahead. Solomon said “life goes on….sometimes flowing in stream line, at other times in sure turbulences. We don’t design our situations but we certainly have the privilege to determine to swim or sink. The power to do either lies in our decision. It could sometimes be in the condemnation of ourselves and at other times in our sincerity and determination.

We may fall several times. It could be spiritually, emotionally, financially and even physically or health wise. But I feel we should still accept ourselves not in self deception, but in sincerity and determination. I think we can start again, I think our spirit can be renewed again”. General Eric Shin Seki said”If you don’t like change, you are going to like irrelevance even less”. This is the season of change and you have a role to play. You will certainly need to make some adjustment in your habits and life style.
Friend you too will accomplish your goals. You will soon share the good news. Meanwhile, obey that scriptural injunction .Rejoice with those that rejoice. Never envy others because your time will come.

Little Things and Big Consequences

Little Things and Big Consequences
WRITTEN BY ADEOSUN OLUYEMI

“Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things…..i am tempted to think…..there are no little things” Bruce Barton
Majeck Fashek in his song entitled little patience says “a little faith will move a big mountain”. The greatest teacher of all times adds that if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can literarily order a mountain to relocate”. Sir Edmund Hilary the first man to climb Mount Everest the tallest mountain in the world said.” It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves”.

Friends the enemy surrounding you cannot surmount the power within you if you align with your creator. Remember the mountain cannot get bigger but your faith can. King Louis said “There is little that can with stand a man who can conquer himself”. When you think the obstacle to overcome is external then you will be chasing shadows. The enemy within empowers the external opposition. An African proverb says” if the wall does not open its mouth, the lizard cannot enter it”.

You have to be courageous and strong. Do not give in to procrastination, doubt or unbelief. These are internal enemies to watch out for. I close with the words of Jennifer Unity “Life is not waiting for the storm to be over, but life is about learning to dance in the rain”.
