The eagle is considered the king of birds because of its outstanding features. This bird possesses superior faculties and also displays uncommon tendencies that sets it apart from other birds.  In this post we will be examining those features that distinguish the eagle from other birds and the exceptional wisdom that makes it unique.  THE WISDOM OF THE EAGLE  1. EAGLES OFTEN FLY ALONE:  Eagles don't flock. You will never come across a flock of eagles neither will you ever see an eagle flying alongside other birds.  Wisdom tip: The pathway to success for the most part requires an individual pursuit. Congregating with people who are narrow minded can jeopardize your attempts towards success.  If you are an Eagle don't get married to a duck else you will be grounded on the path of destiny. People will relate with you based on what level they are. Their presence in your life will either be a source of limitation or motivation towards success.  2. EAGLES F...

Every creature is endowed with wisdom that is instructive for a productive life. Through careful observation we can glean from that wisdom and adopt the same into our life.  This series is not about animal science. Rather, it is a careful study into the operational potentials of various creatures and how we can draw from that wisdom to increase our possibilities.  The Wisdom Of The Ant The ant is a very small creature being a member of the insect family. Yet, it is known for its uncommon wisdom. The wisdom of the ant is instructive. As a matter of fact, God recommends that humans learn from the ants when He said, "Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest."  Therefore, in order for us to effectively do justice to this section of the series it is imperative for us to glean from the bank of uncommon wisdom that is affordable to this tiny cr...

What is wisdom?  There are countless definitions of the word 'wisdom'. Scholars from different generations and from all walks of life have researched this concept and many have come up with propositions and definitions to justify their search.  Our goal is not to bore you with all the definitions that exists with respect to the subject matter but to bring you perspective from the word of God.  Wisdom is God's idea, therefore in other to present an accurate definition of the word we need to consult the author of the concept through His written word.  Wisdom is the ability to view circumstances and situations from God's perspective.  It is the ability to proffer scriptural solutions to life's challenges.  Wisdom is knowing what to do, when to do it, how to do it and with whom to do it.  Wisdom is any principle that is designed or embedded into creation.  Factored into the design of every living thing are principles that we have come to define as the...

INTRODUCTION  In part one of this post, we were able to establish the concept of value and becoming a person of value from an earthly perspective. Here is the link to that post.  This part of the post will focus on the concept of value and the dynamics of becoming a person of value from an eternal standpoint.  Man is an eternal being and once his time on earth is over he will inevitably return to that state. But what happens when that time comes is a result of what we do now, here on earth.  Every action is a vibration in eternity. Every deed in time is a seed that will one day be harvested in eternity. It is futile to argue this fact because as surely as the sun that rises from the east, every day we spend on earth only draws us closer to this reality.  Knowing this, how then can someone become a person of value in eternity? How can one sow those seeds in time that will produce a profitable harvest in eternity?  This is not a repitition of what has already...

Title:  Walking In Your Purpose  Speaker:  Apostle Joshua Selman  Review by:  Isaac Beke AFFIRMATION  I was born for a reason.  I am not a biological accident.  I am not one of the many people in the eaeth I have an assignment  I have a mandate.  I have an anointing.  I have a destiny.  INTRODUCTION  The World is full of people who found themselves in the middle of time, didn't know why they were born and they died without discovering why they came upon the surface of the earth.  There is nothing as tragic as a man who lives on the surface of the earth without knowing the reason he was born and what he was mandated to do upon the surface of the earth.  Definition   (Purpose)  The intent for manufacturing a product.  The purpose of a thing is the reason for its existence.  God is a God of purpose. He does not create anything without a reason.  Everyone of us have an assignment earmark...

Introduction  Many people have balloon ideas about the true meaning of value and what it means to be valuable. There are many definitions today about the concept of value and most of these definitions are either incongruent with the subject matter or are totally fallacious. The advent of social media has introduced new terminologies into our lexicon making it more difficult for the average young person to come to terms with the true meaning of the word "value".  For some being a person of value is measured by how many likes or comments a pictures gets. For others, being a person of value is synonymous with a fat bank account or a nice car.  While the possession of all these things are not bad in themselves, they fall short in communicating in its entirety and essence what it means to be a person of value both from an earthly perspective and from an eternal point of view.  In other to do proper justice to this discourse, we have divided this post into two parts. Part ...

INTRODUCTION  Jesus was definite about everything He did including His relationships. He was not emotional about choosing those that surrounded Him neither did He assume that everyone thought well of Him.  The Jesus model of relationship shows us that there are eight levels or kinds of people that surrounds every success oriented individual and knowing how to navigate through each level requires deep wisdom.  This model makes no room for the basic considerations that the average individual makes before going into a relationship such as emotional connection, social status, cultural affiliations or religious orientation.  It leaves no place for assumptions, for emotionalism or for an entitlement mentality due to proximity.  The Jesus model of relationship is centered around three things  1. Purpose  2. Loyalty   3. Fulfilment of God's vision.  Every individual was selected and prioritized based on the level of their alignment with the abov...

FIVE WAYS TO IDENTIFY QUALITY PEOPLE  (continued)  2. VISIONARY To be visionary is beyond having positive ideas of the future. Many people have all kinds of balloon ideas about the future, that doesn't make them visionary.  To be visionary is to have a clear and compelling picture of the future.  What some people call vision is not compelling because it is vague. They are not even inspired by it. Such people are empty talkers.  If you want to build relationships that last, follow the path of those that have vision. By doing this, you will be purchasing tomorrow. It was Dr. Olumide Emmanuel that said, "The future is cheap if you buy it today." Don't just appear in people's future and expect to have a stake if you ignored them when they were small.  Some of our parents literally threw away gold mines simply by ignoring someone that seemed poor when they were younger. Only to turn on the television many years later and the same person they despised was now the...
