LEADERSHIP THOUGHTS SERIES 8

LEADERSHIP THOUGHTS SERIES 8

   A WISE LEADER HAS A TEACHABLE SPIRIT

“A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels” – Proverbs 1:5 (KJV).

Real leadership has eternal value.

Real leadership is about God and others, and then the leader.

Real leadership is rarely dependent on positive circumstances.

Real leadership cannot survive under a complaining and nagging leader.

Real leadership is driven by its purpose, right leadership and yielding team.

Every real leader submits to the guidance of other real leaders with much experience.

Jesus, the ultimate leader, demonstrated real leadership in several ways: focused on His mission, rightly submitted to His Father, worked with His inner circle and served others selflessly and unconditionally.

   A YEAR JOURNEY INTO WISDOM PATHS

“Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment (understanding)” – Proverbs 4:7 (NLT).

*WEEK 17:

Real dominion over anything is God-given.

It takes boldness and courage to do the right or God’s will.

Belief and reverence are core elements of faith or tenacity.

Central to the law of multiplication is harnessing your available resources.

We must always guard against making a god out of our victories or successes.

The consequences of your actions and inaction are proportional to both you and persons connected to the action.

The nature of forgiveness a person receives from another person usually determine the degree of the love the latter will have for the former.

“Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment (understanding)” – Proverbs 4:7 (NLT).

*WEEK 16:

Trust and patience exude strength.

Diligence has better rewards than hard work.

Consistency is a communicator of diligence, faith and loyalty.

Patient endurance is one of the fastest routes to attaining your vision.

It takes wisdom to discern when to still wait for something or get rid of it if that thing is currently not working.

Loving and diligent obedience to God’s commandment is a heavenly visa to inheriting your untapped blessings.

Hard work in most contexts is a form of laziness, and a sign of inferiority complex or depression.

“Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment (understanding)” – Proverbs 4:7 (NLT).

*WEEK 15:

Work is a primary means to meet the needs of other people.

Education is not the key to holistic development; righteousness does the job.

There is no need answering questions from people with ulterior motives or people seeking to have dishonest dealings with you.

Dishonest questions are fashioned to create problems for persons who answer them.

A person’s wrong perception about God will hinder that person’s relationship with Him.

A mere desire for something without relevant corresponding action to realize it leads to disappointment.

It is easier to love our enemies when we discover God’s purpose connected to their activities or attitudes.

   A YEAR JOURNEY INTO WISDOM PATHS

“Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment (understanding)” – Proverbs 4:7 (NLT).

*WEEK 14:

Compassion goes with generosity.

Our God-given blessings are usually connected to our paternal roots.

Anything God instructs us to do is achievable through wilful obedience.

Prayers and fasting are conditional precedents for overcoming certain situations in life.

Although vengeance belongs to God, He may sometimes permit us to revenge our enemies.

Failing or refusing to take positive steps to possess a person’s God-given blessings is sinful.

One key feature of satanic schemes is that they are not mindful of the things of God but that of the world.

THE MOCKERY AND NONSENSE OF GALAMSEY IN GHANA

THE MOCKERY AND NONSENSE OF GALAMSEY IN GHANA

Galamsey is a popular name for illegal small scale mining in Ghana

Notorious Galamsey has openly operated in Ghana for decades

Although illegal, Galamsey comfortably connives and fraternizes with some selfish traditional leaders, greedy politicians and desperate local folks

Its chief beneficiaries are foreigners

Its current and future victims are related communities, Ghana and her unborn generations.

Galamsey continues to steal billions of Cedis from Ghana

It continues to destroy its vast agricultural lands

It is polluting and emptying her water bodies

If not tamed, Ghana will be importing water in the next decades

The related communities are becoming inhabitable because of its harmful operations

Its daily drinking spree with rapacious and narcissistic chiefs and politicians is still rocking

Its acceptance and tolerance level in palaces and political parlours is galloping

Like corruption, it is making its participants suddenly wealthy while assassinating its victims

The unborn generations of Gold Coast Ghana are shocked at the lukewarm and selfish attitudes of the present generation.

Galamsey is worse than HIV Aids, robbery and gruesome murder

Yet the law enforcement agencies of Ghana have so far done little to arrest and prosecute it

Yet the Government of Ghana is merely complaining, issuing threats and giving ultimatums

Two weeks or more ultimatum for its actors to stop the illegality whiles lives are perishing

Oh! who will salvage today’s Gold Coast Ghana and her future from this atrocities impunity?

Arise you slumbering citizens of Ghana and protect your Motherland

Enough with the sleeping; enough with the lukewarm; enough of this mockery and nonsense!

“Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment (understanding)” – Proverbs 4:7 (NLT).

*WEEK 13:

Do not ignore God under pretext of making earthly wealth for yourself; you may spend all that wealth on your health in your later days on earth.

Unbelief and lack of respect for a deserving person are rooted in familiarity.

Complaining and rebellion go hand-in-hand and they may cause the unnatural death of their perpetrators.

Great shepherds like Jesus demonstrate their compassion towards their sheep by teaching them and meeting their critical needs.

Carrying out God’s specific instruction is a form of believing and honouring Him and vice versa.

We must always subject our traditions to God’s word since it is easy to substitute God’s commandments with our traditions.

It is easy for a servant of God to disobey Him if that servant is more interested in material rewards or honour of men than obeying God.
