LEADERSHIP EDGE

Attaining success in life depends on one's adherence to principles. In the pursuit of your career, your knowledge and understanding of the job and what the industry demands are key. As a believer, your relationship with God and his words play a major role, the knowledge you have of him will always direct your decisions and actions to achieve success. Let's take a look at the life of Joseph, he knew the word, he knew the kingdom's Principle and with this knowledge, he was able to say NO and stood his ground when Potiphar's wife came for him for sex. As a child of God living the kingdom life, others may compromise, try to take a quick route, or make ungodly decisions, but you shouldn't. Joshua 1:8 also talks about meditating on the word, which means it comes from the mind. Your thoughts count in attaining a successful career. What do you meditate on? What is the content in your heart? Our God is not a God of mediocrity, so we are not allowed to settle for less. The r

Growing up , I used to be scared of dogs, it was so bad that if I see a dog anywhere I'll either reverse or hide. So as a teenager staying with her aunt and living her best life, her neighbour decides to get a dog, not just one but two dogs, on seeing these dogs I was terrified. I couldn't go out when the dogs are outside, I was always hiding, it was that bad☹. One day, I went out and on coming back home, I found the dogs outside unchained. At that moment, I was tired of hiding/running, I wanted to go into the house but I was so scared. After roaming around for a while, I just mustered the courage to go inside knowing fully that the dogs will bark and try to chase me but, while the dogs were barking and walking towards me, I ignored them and continue walking, they got tired and stopped. I was relieved and never again did I get scared of dogs. Most times, we allow our fears to have so much power over us, impending us from achieving our dreams. We fail to understand that the more

 "I Have A Dream" a famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr. has been read and recited by many but only a few understand it and only a few know that Martin Luther King Jr meant what he said and that those dreams became a reality even after he's long gone. The stone age did not end because the world ran out of stones but the oil age will end long before the world runs out of oil. Waiting for an appointed time before chasing your dreams and desires is like waiting for your seed to grow leaf before planting them. Whatever your dreams are, whatever your desires are, if there's ever a slight chance at getting something done, that will make you become a blessing to your generation and happily fulfilled, by all means, risk it. Life is too short and happiness too rare. Do not say tomorrow I will start this and that when you can not assure yourself of tomorrow. Let what is meant for tomorrow starts tonight. In life there is no one way fits all, avoid the temptation of sticking

It is a known fact that spending all you have will make you more financially handicap, and waiting till you have a little more before you start saving means you will never save. But the best way to be financially stable in life is to render value that people are willing to pay for. In Genesis 41 we read of Pharaoh's dream, how he so much desired the interpretation. Egypt was able to survive the years of farming because they saved all through the years of plenty and that was made possible because Joseph brought to them the needed value to achieving that by properly administrating the resources of the land. Savings has been a long age tradition that has proven to be a means of becoming financially stable to do other business/investment that can help you grow your earnings but finding the needed value is key. While we are encouraged to work hard and work smart too, as believers, we need to pray that God should open the eyes of our understanding to see the problems to solve in this wo

The idea of RELATIONSHIP when it involves the two opposite sex has been bastardized with so many movie scenes giving us the wrong picture. Little wonder why a lot of people fall for the wrong reasons. There is no one way fit all when we talk about a meeting of two opposite sex that then lead into relationships but at the same time, some pictorial ideologies are not true.  The right one won't always come with flowers and Valentine's love letters. They won't always come on romantic dates, movie nights out, or in a New Year's fireworks show.  They won't always have to be the one who sleeps next to you in a high school field trip, the one who films you in a beach get-away, or the one whom you wanted to be your most awaited prom dance. They won't always come on a perfect night, watching the full moon beside you, on the top of your neighbor's roof.  They won't always come along with butterflies in your stomach, racing heartbeats, and blushing cheeks. Sometimes

Miss Jane, a hardworking, disciplined, and professional lady wonders why she hasn’t been promoted or why she isn’t getting the favor she deserves in her place of work and why life has been so unfair to her? Let’s take a look at Miss Jane's life. Jane lives with her single mother, who makes sure there is food prepared for her by the time she gets home from work. Her siblings are so cooperative and are always ready to answer her calls whenever she needs their attention. Just because she hasn’t been promoted, Jane feels stressed, used, and pressured, and having these thoughts weighs her down and sometimes gets her depressed. Even though she goes to church and understands what the scripture says, Jane rarely inculcates the act of Thanksgiving. She grumbles and complains about all that happens in her office, how she didn’t get the promotion, forgetting how blessed she is to have a supportive family. One day Jane heard her colleagues lamenting how much they have to work at the office and
