Boundaries: understanding and respecting it Pt 2 by Atilade Faith.

Challenges faced when setting boundaries contd. 

Another common mistake is expecting your friends to read your mind. It's important to be clear and specific about your boundaries, instead of expecting others to just know what you need. Another mistake is expecting your friends to always agree with you. It's normal to have different opinions, and that's okay! The key is to respect each other's differences. 

Another challenge is worrying about how the other person will react. Try to stay focused on your own needs, rather than worrying about the other person's reaction. Finally, remember that setting boundaries is a process, and it may take some time to get it right.

Boundaries in the workplace. 

It's just as important to set boundaries at work as it is in your personal life. For example, you might need to set boundaries around your work hours, your workload, or your relationships with co-workers. It's important to communicate your boundaries clearly and respectfully, just like in any other relationship. You might want to set a boundary around when you're available to respond to emails or phone calls. You could say something like, "I'm happy to respond to emails and phone calls during business hours, but I won't be available outside of those hours." 

Let's talk about setting boundaries around your workload. You might need to set a boundary around how much work you're willing to take on. This might look like saying "no" to extra projects or setting limits on how much overtime you're willing to work. This boundary respects your own needs for work-life balance, while still being respectful of others.

The difference between setting boundaries and being defensive, control, and ultimatums. 

The difference between setting boundaries and being defensive. A lot of people confuse these two things. Setting boundaries is about being clear and firm about your needs, without attacking or blaming the other person. Being defensive is about trying to protect yourself from the other person's feelings, usually by blaming or attacking them. It's really important to understand the difference between these two things.

The difference between boundaries and ultimatums. Boundaries are about communicating your own needs and limits. Ultimatums are about telling the other person what they have to do. Boundaries are healthy and necessary for good relationships. Ultimatums are usually manipulative and harmful. They don't allow for compromise or collaboration.

Don't confuse boundaries with control. Boundaries are about taking care of yourself, not about controlling others. Controlling others is not healthy or productive. When you set boundaries, you're not trying to control the other person, you're simply stating your own needs. And finally, don't let fear hold you back from setting boundaries. It's natural to feel afraid of rejection or conflict, but it's important to push through that fear to take care of yourself.

In conclusion, Boundaries are an important part of any healthy relationship. By setting boundaries, you're taking care of yourself and showing respect for the other person. It takes time and practice to set boundaries effectively, but it's worth the effort. Remember to be clear, respectful, and flexible, and to communicate openly and honestly. Remember to be kind to yourself on this journey. 

It's not about being selfish or confrontational, but rather about being clear, respectful, and assertive. Remember, it's not just about protecting yourself, but also about protecting your relationships and your well-being. And you're worth the effort. You're enough, just the way you are.

With these strategies, you'll be on your way to building healthy, fulfilling friendships. 

Respect people's boundaries!

Boundaries: understanding and respecting it, Pt 1 by Atilade Faith.

Boundaries are so important in relationships, whether they're friendships, romantic relationships, or any other type of relationship. Without boundaries, it can be easy to get taken advantage of or to feel resentful and used. Boundaries help to set clear expectations and limits, so that everyone involved knows what's okay and what's not okay. They also help to protect our own needs and wants, so that we don't get overwhelmed or burned out.

The importance of boundaries in relationships cannot be amplified. Boundaries provide structure and order, creating a sense of safety and trust. Without boundaries, relationships can become chaotic and unpredictable, leading to feelings of frustration and resentment. Boundaries help to define the limits of a relationship, allowing each person to know what is expected of them and what is acceptable within the relationship. Boundaries can be physical, emotional, or even spiritual.

When boundaries are respected, it allows each person to feel safe and secure in the relationship. It also allows each person to have a sense of autonomy and independence, while still being connected to the other person. Boundaries help to prevent codependency and other unhealthy dynamics from developing in the relationship. They also allow for healthy communication and conflict resolution, as each person knows what is and is not acceptable.

One of the most important benefits of boundaries is that they allow for healthy self-care. When each person knows their limits and can communicate those limits clearly, it allows them to take care of themselves emotionally, physically, and mentally. This leads to greater self-confidence and self-respect. Without boundaries, it's easy to feel like we're constantly being pulled in different directions, which can lead to burnout and exhaustion. 

Boundaries allow us to create a sense of balance and peace in our lives.

One thing to understand about boundaries is that they can be flexible and adaptable. They should be based on mutual respect and understanding, not on control or manipulation. Boundaries should also be clear and consistent so that everyone involved knows what is and is not acceptable. It's also important to note that boundaries can change over time, as the relationship evolves and as people grow and change. Boundaries are not static, but rather a dynamic part of any healthy relationship.

Setting boundaries. 

The first step is to identify your own needs and limits. This involves self-reflection and self-awareness. Once you know your limits, you can communicate them clearly and respectfully to the other person. Remember to use "I" statements, rather than blaming the other person. For example, instead of saying "You always make me feel bad about myself", try saying "I feel bad about myself when you say that".

The next step is to listen to the other person's response. Try to stay open-minded and non-defensive. If the other person is having trouble understanding your boundaries, try to explain them differently or provide examples. It's also important to respect the other person's boundaries, even if you don't agree with them. Boundaries are not about winning or losing, but rather about mutual respect and understanding.

Healthily setting boundaries. 

First, it's important to be clear and specific about what you need. Vague boundaries are not effective. Next, it's important to be respectful and non-judgmental. No one likes to be criticised or shamed, so this is important. Finally, make sure your boundaries are reasonable and fair. No one should have to sacrifice their own needs to meet your boundaries.

What to do if the other person doesn't respect your boundaries? It's normal to feel angry, hurt, or disappointed. When this happens, it's important to remember that their behaviour is not a reflection of you. You can't control their actions, but you can control your reactions. It's also important to be willing to walk away from a relationship if the other person is unwilling to respect your boundaries. It's not easy, but sometimes it's necessary for your well-being. These are also signs to watch out for when looking for a partner or friend, because why do you want to get with someone who does not respect you?

The benefit of setting boundaries is that it can help to create a more honest and open relationship. When both people know what is and is not acceptable, they can be more authentic with each other. Boundaries can also lead to a greater sense of trust and security in the relationship. Also, setting boundaries can improve your relationship with yourself. It can increase your self-respect and self-esteem.

One of the most important things to remember about boundaries is that they are not about controlling the other person. They are about taking control of your own life and choices. Remember, you can't control how the other person reacts to your boundaries. But you can control how you react to them. Setting boundaries is not about changing the other person. It's about changing your behaviour and reactions. You can't control how the other person behaves, but you can control how you react to them. This is what's called "emotional self-regulation". It's a really powerful tool for improving relationships. It's just saying I don't want to react to a situation this way and then setting a rule that makes you not react in a bad way. I hope you get it.

I think it's one of the most important things we can learn about ourselves and our relationships. The next important point is that it's okay to say "no". It's necessary for setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. Saying "no" is not selfish, it's a sign of self-respect. It's okay to stand up for your needs, even if it makes the other person unhappy. Some people think that saying "no" is rude, but that's not true. It's a sign of maturity and respect for yourself and the other person. It's more rude to go along with something you don't want to do, just to please the other person.

Some challenges faced when setting boundaries. 

One challenge is feeling guilty or selfish for setting boundaries. Remember that boundaries are not selfish, but rather a way of taking care of yourself and your needs.

 

Another reason people have trouble with boundaries is because they don't want to "rock the boat" or cause conflict. It's important to remember that setting boundaries is not the same as causing conflict. Setting boundaries can prevent conflict in the long run. 

Another mistake people make when setting boundaries is being too rigid. This can backfire and cause more conflict. Instead, it's important to be flexible and open to compromise. No one is perfect, so it's not realistic to expect others to always respect your boundaries perfectly. The key is to communicate clearly and respectfully and to give others the benefit of the doubt.

DEAR NIGERIA, OUR TIME IS NOW!!!

ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE REDEEMED

In the beginning God created everything from nothing. Genesis 1:1-3

Darkness moved on the face of the deep. 

Ephesians 6:12 - We wrestle not against flesh and blood. 

Hierarchy of realms of darkness in the world. 

* Principalities

* Powers

* Rulers of the darkness of this world

* Spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Ephesians 1:19 - 23

Jesus and by extension, we who believe possess exceeding great power that is over and above that of the realms of darkness in the world. 

This is a repositioning that places man through Jesus Christ far above all principalities, powers, might and dominion. And all this realm of darkness has been position under our feet. 

All things including the realms of darkness has been repositioned under our feet through Jesus Christ. 

On the earth, we are the big deal through Jesus Christ. 

Ephesians 2:1-6, Like 4:6

Authority was transfered by Adam to Satan and not to principalities or demons. They cannot operate outside of Satan's command. 

Jude 1-1-9

On earth, Satan (formally Lucifer) had authority on earth, unlike when he was in heaven. So Michael rebuked him in the name of the lord. 

On the earth, the name of the lord is the authority that rules the earth. That is the authority that can confront Satan and invariably deal with his demons and principalities. 

They work with fear that attempts to neautralise your faith when you give in to their fear. 

Because of your new location as a result of redemption, Satan, his principalities, powers might and dominion cannot locate you in your new placement. You are far above their realm. 

When evil men plan to join you and partake of the blessing, God would dry up the brook and relocate you to a place that would not attract their attention. 

1 Kings 17:8-15

The people God is sending the blessed is for their sustainable and refinement. 

They shall fall before you that are hunting for your soul. 

What God says only demands that you believe. All the work you need to do is believe. 

When it is God, His word only demand faith or absolute belief. 

When it comes to receiving the blessing, all it demands is your obedience. 

The woman went for two sticks in vs 12, also the cross of Jesus is also two sticks. All the matters is how the sticks are arranged. 

It can either be made a plus, cross or triangle etc. 

The scriptures must be put in their writeful place. Until the stick is arranged well, there would be no fire. 

It is not in the number of scriptures, rather it is in the arrangement of the scriptures. Elijah repaired or arranged the sticks to attract fire from heaven. 

Everything Satan took from you, he has replaced and put you in a proper place.

Moses could only see the back of God but with salvation, we the redeemed can now see God face to face through the redemptive blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross.

THE CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SERIES with Kay J-Daniels

Managing conflicts in friendships by Atilade Faith.

Conflict is a normal part of any relationship, including friendships. Conflict means to be at odds or to disagree but with the right strategies for tackling conflicts, it can make your friendships stronger and more meaningful. 

There are two main types: task conflict and relationship conflict. Task conflict happens when there's a disagreement about a specific task or issue, like how to plan a party or what movie to watch. Relationship conflict happens when there's a disagreement about the relationship itself, like how much time to spend together or how to deal with differences in values or opinions.

How to handle these different types of conflict. For task conflict, the best approach is to focus on the issue at hand and try to find a solution that works for everyone. For example, if you're planning a party and disagree about the date, you could try to find a date that works for everyone's schedules. For relationship conflict, it's important to focus on understanding and empathizing with the other person's perspective. This can help you work through the conflict and strengthen the friendship.

Alright, let's talk about specific strategies for dealing with task and relationship conflict. One strategy is "interest-based negotiation". This involves identifying the underlying interests of each person involved in the conflict and trying to find a solution that meets those interests. For example, if you and a friend are having a conflict about what movie to watch, you could try to find a movie that meets both of your interests, like a comedy for you and an action movie for your friend.

Another strategy is called "separating people from the problem". This involves trying to separate the issue from the people involved, and focusing on the issue itself. This can help prevent emotions from getting in the way of resolving the conflict. An example of this would be saying something like, "Let's focus on finding a solution to this problem, and not worry about who's right or wrong."

The next strategy is called "focusing on the interests, not the positions". This strategy is similar to the previous one, but it focuses on finding solutions that meet the underlying interests of everyone involved, rather than just trying to find a compromise. So, instead of focusing on a specific movie, you could try to find a solution that meets the underlying interests of both you and your friend, like finding a movie that's both funny and action-packed. This can be difficult but not doable.

Another strategy is called "inventing options for mutual gain". This strategy involves brainstorming a range of possible solutions that would be beneficial for everyone involved. So, instead of just trying to choose a movie, you could come up with other ideas, like watching the movie at home instead of the theatre or watching the movie in two parts on different days.

Deep listening as a conflict resolution strategy. This involves listening to what your friend is saying, without judgment or defensiveness. It's about trying to understand their point of view and empathizing with their perspective. It can be challenging, but very effective in resolving conflict.

Another strategy is "validating" your friend's feelings. This involves acknowledging and accepting their feelings, even if you don't agree with them. It's about showing them that their feelings are valid and that you care about how they're feeling. This can help to solve conflict and bring you closer together.

 Acknowledging the other person's viewpoint. This is similar to validating a person's feelings. It involves recognizing and respecting the other person's perspective, even if you don't share it. It can be a powerful way to resolve conflict because it shows that you're trying to understand their point of view.

Another strategy is all about being respectful. This involves treating the other person with respect, even when you're in conflict. It means not interrupting, raising your voice, or using disrespectful language. It's about showing them that you value and respect them as a person, even if you disagree with them. 

Another strategy is giving space. This is when you allow the other person to express their feelings without immediately reacting. It's about letting them finish what they're saying, without interrupting or trying to change the subject. The idea is to give them time and space to express themselves.

Okay, let's talk about "active listening". This is a technique that involves giving the other person your full attention, without being distracted. It means maintaining eye contact, using body language that shows you're listening, and not interrupting them. It's about really focusing on what they're saying, so you can understand their perspective.

Another is seeking common ground". This is about trying to find something you both agree on, even if you don't agree on everything. It's about focusing on what you have in common, rather than your differences. It can be a powerful way to reduce conflict and find a way to move forward.

Another strategy is de-escalation. It's a strategy that involves reducing the intensity of a conflict, to make it easier to resolve. Okay, here's how de-escalation works. It starts with taking a step back and calming things down. This could mean taking a break from the conversation, taking some deep breaths, or focusing on calming your body language. Once things have calmed down, you can try to understand the other person's perspective and work on resolving the conflict.

Reframing as a strategy for resolving conflicts involves looking at the situation from a different perspective, to try to find a more positive way of viewing it. For example, instead of thinking of the conflict as a problem, you could reframe it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

It might be easier to understand with an example. So let's imagine that you and your friend have a conflict about what movie to watch. Instead of thinking of the conflict as a problem that needs to be solved, you could reframe it as an opportunity to learn more about your friend's preferences, or to try something new. This type of reframing can help you to shift your focus away from the conflict itself, and towards more positive outcomes.

Conflict is a normal part of life, and it can be a chance to learn and grow. By healthily resolving conflict, you can strengthen your friendships and become a better friend.

But don't forget that the most important thing is to maintain kindness and respect, both for yourself and for others. By addressing conflict with compassion and understanding, you can make your friendships even stronger.

The role of empathy on friendship by Atilade Faith.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, empathy is identification with or understanding the thoughts, feelings, or emotional state of another person.

Empathy is a key factor in any healthy friendship. It involves understanding and relating to another person's feelings and experiences. Empathy allows you to connect with others on a deeper level and creates a foundation of trust and understanding. Without empathy, friendships can feel trivial and difficult to maintain.

Empathy helps you feel connected to others. It creates a sense of shared experiences and understanding. This makes friendships more meaningful and fulfilling. Empathy also helps you build trust with others. When you feel that someone understands you and cares about your experiences, you're more likely to open up and share your thoughts and feelings. This can lead to deeper and more meaningful friendships.

Empathy helps you resolve conflicts in friendships. When there's a disagreement or misunderstanding, empathy allows you to see the other person's perspective and find a way to move forward. It helps you understand why the other person feels the way they do and find a way to resolve the conflict constructively. Without empathy, conflicts can escalate and damage friendships.

Another way that empathy benefits friendships is by making you feel supported and cared for. When you know that your friends understand and care about you, it can make you feel valued and appreciated and even want to open up to them. This can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more connected to your friends.

Empathy helps you understand yourself better. When you practice empathy with others, you also learn to apply it to yourself. This can help you understand your feelings and needs. It can also make you more compassionate towards yourself and help you build self-acceptance. There's no point being hard on yourself.

There's the idea that too much empathy can lead to emotional burnout and too little empathy can make a friendship feel distant. I don't think there's the right type or amount of empathy to offer in friendships. It all boils down to understanding each other, your dynamics and what works with each other.

In conclusion, empathy is a complex and nuanced topic. There's no single answer about how much empathy is "right" in friendships, but there are some factors to consider. It might depend on the individual, the type of friendship, and the specific situation. One thing is clear though empathy is an important part of healthy, fulfilling friendships!

Be empathetic! 

THE POSSIBILITY MENTALITY by Phoebe

Palace of Creativity

THE POSSIBILITY MENTALITY

"Jesus looked hard at them and said 'No chance at all if you think you can pull it off yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it." Matthew 19:26 MSG

The Possibility mentality is a Christ-like mentality, it's a God thing not a man thing because with man it is always impossible. 

With man, the Israelites would have never walked on dry land through the Red sea.

Wait, have you ever read what scripture said there properly? They walked in the middle of a sea on DRY GROUND! Whattt?. 

I can imagine how they had a free aquarium-like tour right there in the middle of the sea but man can never do this.

Before verse 26 of Matthew, the 19th chapter; Jesus said 'it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle...hold up, how is that possible? Well, I just asked that question because I am man. 

For a while, you have wondered how that dream you had would ever happen in reality and definitely because of your Adamic (human) nature you have disposed those dreams.

I present to you...drum rolls please, the GOD with whom all things are possible. As a man, you will always be limited and inadequate but as long as God is in the equation; be rest assured, it's always possible. 

Yes it's possible to have a 360° turnaround in your life in seconds; it is possible to be a servant yesterday and become a master tomorrow and of course it's possible for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle which brings me back to the Scripture I started with, if you think you can pull it off yourself, there's no chance. 

God would always, I mean always come through for you as long as you trust Him.

"But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers - Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season" Jeremiah 17:7-8 MSG

All things are possible with God and having a possibility mentality is possible as well. 

Never limit God, He's able!

Say to yourself next time there's a mountain before you, IT IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD! 

Then rejoice

You should read that again, it's an advice. 

Repetition is key to mastery.

Awesome!!!

ALTARS IN THE NEW DISPENSATION by Kay Daniels

 ALTARS IN THE NEW DISPENSATION

Altars are the kingdom of heaven active spots on the face of the earth.

They are spots on the earth where the presence of God is dominant or very active.

Altars are places of encounters.

It is however not a genuine altar in the new dispensation if it does not reverence Jesus, the Christ.

There are two primary levels to Altars.

All altars you raise in the name of Jesus would bring you to the place of encounters. You either encounter power or wisdom or both. 

Altars are God's appointed place of appearance. 

If you need Gods power, rare an altar of power via prayer, fasting and giving. 

The truth is that fasting gives value to prayer and giving gives value to fasting. These combinations are what results in power altars. 

This is where you alter whatever is not permitted to germinate in your life. 

If you need the wisdom of God, rare an altar of wisdom by seeking knoweldge, wisdom and understading. For the natural man, it is all about memory, intellect and imagination, but for the spiritually alive, it is the spirit of knowedge, spirit of wisdom and spirit of understandinmg. 

• 1 Corinthians 1:24—To those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
• 1 Corinthians 1:30—You are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
• Colossians 2:3—In [Jesus] are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
• Luke 11:49—Therefore the wisdom of God (referring to Jesus) said, “I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute.”

11 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: Isaiah 11:1-3

As you rare an altar of power and wisdom, get set for the manifestation of the seven spirits of God . It would take over your spirit man (Spirit of the Lord), take over your Intellect (Spirit of wisdom), Take over your Imagination (Spirit of Understanding), take over your Will (Spirit of Counsel), take over your Body (Spirit of might), Take over your memory (Spirit of Knowledge) and Take over your Emotion (Spirit of the fear of the Lord). 

By the baptism of the Holy Ghost, it would grant you quick understanding in the fear of God (Emotional Inteligence) for Spiritual sensitivity.

WORDSPIRED THOUGHTS ON POSSIBLITY MENTALITY @ EXECUTIVE ADVANCE

Wordspired Sayings from Executive Advance 2023

Only thinkers rule their world.

To make the most of knowledge, you need to read-think.

It is thinking that gives value to reading 

Schools came from "unschooled" people who gave themselves to rigorous thinking. 

Possiblity mentality is a direct product of possiblity thinking. 

Without a sense of history, no one really makes history. 

Necessity is the mother of invention. 

Black people are not second rated brains. 

Only men that can think the unthinkable can make happen the impossible. 

Possiblity mentality is daring the undatable. 

It is stepping out that turns dreams to reality. 

It is not the mountains we conquer, we actually conquered our self. 

Intellectual bravery is the key to global relevance. 

Poverty is a product of poor thinking habit! 

It is not just where you are that determines your make up, it is much more, who you are. 

The star of every many is within himself. 

What you can produce is within yourself. 

Selflessness of engagement is the manure that nurture the seed of global impact on us. 

You cannot eat the meat until you face the heat that comes through roasting. 

Every star is shaped for the topmost top in life. 

Mentality is key to greatness, but where you draw the strength for your mind comes from, is key to actualizing the dream of global relevance. 

No child of God is redeemed s loser, failure or begger. 

Destiny is a non transferable responsibility: you either face it or get faced put. 

It is paying the abnormal price that makes a record breaker. 

Everything that sets the pace in any field is at a price. 

To the diligent, work is like meat...

Giants have extreme value for time...

WISDOM AND MONEY AS A DEFENCE by Arome Phoebe Arome

A popular proverb said  "Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all they getting get understanding". Proverbs 4:7

      The word 'Principal' means first in order of importance, more like something you should not live without. I believe that once you are living without something as important as that, you are automatically vulnerable and defenseless.

"For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it" Eccl. 7:12

Coming across this scripture, I read several translations and out of these translations, the New Living Translation (NLT) got me thinking. 

It said  'Wisdom and money can get you ALMOST anything, but only wisdom can save your life'. 

With reference to money, it can get you almost anything but it cannot get you life like wisdom would.

The Complete Jewish Bible says  'For wisdom is a shelter and money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom keeps the one who has it alive' meaning clearly that wisdom and money are important but never forget that one out of both is the PRINCIPAL - most important.

Ever thought of how you can get money with wisdom but you cannot get wisdom with money? 

The wisdom Solomon was referring to was the wisdom that comes from God - DIVINE WISDOM; that is the wisdom that defends a man and gives him life, a kind of wisdom, yet given liberally doesn't fall into every hand. James 1:5-8

God wants us to have money but He doesn't want money to have us. 

As a matter of truth, God is the pioneer of wealth according to Deuteronomy 8:18, He giveth power to get wealth but never let wealth have you.

My simple message to you is, Be Focused! Strive  to get the PRINCIPAL THING that you may have life and even money. 

God bless you.

WISDOM AND MONEY by Debbie

Individually, money and wisdom are two of the greatest gifts man can ever possess.

 However, it is a game changer collectively. In our continually developing world, the quest and hunger for money as well as wisdom grows larger and larger each day.

 Primarily, to get money you need to have wisdom in a chosen area of specialisation.

 These two factors are very dependent on each other. An influential or powerful man is one who is seen to have a stable or reasonable combination of both money and wisdom. 

There is a popular saying which goes 'money stops nonsense.' 

There is a degree of respect that comes with money. 

Take this scenario for instance: A woman goes to a jeweler to make her a customised ring for herself. 

From her appearance, the jeweler has already assumed that she can't afford it.

 But once the lady in question brings out her bundles of cash to pay, the jeweler is left in shock and embarrassment.

 Possibly, the jeweler had already started mistreating her and offering bad customer service, because he was in doubt about the woman's purchasing power. 

But her ability to defend herself has written off any assumption had about her. Also, when there is availability of money, catering for one's basic needs will be done so comfortably. 

One won't have to think about his landlord throwing him out of his apartment due to lack of rent. 

Rather, such individual would purchase his house where he wouldn't have to worry about paying rent anymore. 

As it is seen in Ecclesiastes 10:19, money answers all things. 

The common enemy that money and wisdom have is poverty. 

The majority may think that poverty is only as a result of lack of money. However, poverty can also be as a result of lack of wisdom or knowledge. Proverbs 10:21 

If a person, has an advance way of thinking, it is probable that his wisdom would earn him a source of income. 

The saying which goes 'money stops nonsense' also accrues to wisdom. Wisdom stops nonsense as well. 

When a person is wise, he won't easily get cheated or mistreated. He would dim it unnecessary to engage in some arguments or conversations that could lead to a fist fight. 

As seen in Ecclesiastes 9:18; wisdom is better than weapons of war.' 

There is a manner a person would respond to arguments that would make the opposing party dumbfounded and embarrassed. 

This is simply because such person has an advanced level of understanding that will prevent such scenario from taking place. 

Wisdom is needed in order to manage one's resources. If a wealthy man has no form of wisdom, he is most likely to lose his wealth. 

Wisdom defends money. 

Also Proverbs 4:7 clearly states: "Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. 

And in all your getting, get understanding." (NKJV). Getting wisdom and understanding is key to managing one's resources (not just money) efficiently and justly. Once this resources are managed rightly, one would be able to combat both financial poverty and intellectual poverty.

 In conclusion, as seen in Ecclesiastes 7:11, wisdom alongside with an inheritance is good for those under the sun. 

For survival in this world, even the bible says a person needs these two attributes. Both wisdom and money is a defence or protection to survival in the world we live in. Ecclesiastes 7:11-12  

INSIGHTS FOT GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS by Kay Daniels

It takes faith to turn visions into reality. 

If you do not have reverence for Jesus, you do not have a business seeing visions fulfilled. 

Consciously reverence the viability of the owner of all vision..

Without a bearing, life becomes a burden. 

Only those going somewhere ever get to wherever they are going. 

Nothing is more frustrating like not knowing where you are going. 

To create a future, there is a need for a huge shift in thinking and values. 

Every reproduceable vision must be born of the lord. 

The worth of a university is in the problem it solves. 

Every skill acquired is first a personal asset, before becoming a community or global asset. 

MAKING FRIENDS BY ATILADE FAITH.

 

Friends, again.

Building friends is an essential aspect of human existence, endowing our lives with companionship, support, and a sense of belonging. Friendships are created upon shared interests, trust, and mutual understanding, and they play an important role in our emotional and social well-being. 

The journey of making friends begins with self-awareness. Understanding one's values, interests, and personality traits is important. 

Effective communication is fundamental to any successful friendship. Listening actively and empathetically to others. Making friends is not just about talking, but also about listening. Showing that you are interested in what the other person has to say is a great way to build rapport and create a deeper connection. Maintaining eye contact, and using clear body language all contribute to building rapport. Sharing thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and honestly creates a foundation of trust. Also being genuine and authentic. Being yourself is key to finding friends who are a good fit for you. Trying to be someone you're not will only lead to superficial friendships that won't last.

Common interests and activities provide a fruitful ground for friendship to grow. This is a great way to create a bond and get to know someone better.

Engaging in hobbies or pursuits that genuinely interest you increases the chances of meeting like-minded individuals. It could be anything from joining a book club to taking a class together or whether it's a sports team, book club, or volunteering, doesn't have to be a big commitment, even just grabbing lunch together can be enough to start building a friendship. Shared experiences form strong bonds.

Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is an important aspect of making friends. Being able to see the world from their perspective, offering support during challenging times, and celebrating their successes fosters deeper relationships.

Reciprocity. This is an important part of any healthy friendship. It's about being willing to give and take, and to be there for each other when needed. It's not about keeping score, but about creating a give-and-take dynamic that feels fair and balanced. 

Respect for personal boundaries is essential in any friendship. Recognizing when to give others space and respecting their limits guarantees a healthy and balanced relationship. Boundaries protect both parties from overstepping and maintain trust.

Building lasting friendships takes time and patience. It's important to understand that not every interaction will lead to a deep bond. Some friendships may develop quickly, while others require nurturing over months or even years.

In conclusion, making friends is a process that enriches our lives in numerous ways. While it may take time and effort, the rewards of genuine friendship and support are immeasurable. In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, confused, and scary, the art of making friends remains a vital skill, enhancing our emotional and social well-being. 

It's not just about making new friends, it's also about keeping the friends you already have. This involves putting in the effort to stay connected and to nurture the relationship over time. So, let's embrace the opportunity to cultivate friendships that can last a lifetime.

OVERCOMING ADDICTION by Kay Daniels

OVERCOMING ADDICTION

I was privileged to have found myself in the midst of some very inspiring youths in a university fellowship, and they were discussing among themselves various topics, one of which had to do with addictions. As I listened to them, I thought of writing something on this topic. 

Addiction is a complex and often chronic brain disease that causes people to compulsively use substances or engage in behaviors, even though they know it's harming them.

It typically involves three key components:

Craving: 

Individuals with addiction experience intense, often uncontrollable cravings for the substance or behavior of choice. These cravings can dominate their thoughts and drive them to seek out the addictive substance or behavior.

Loss of Control: 

People struggling with addiction find it challenging to control their use or engagement. They may want to quit or cut down but struggle to do so, even when they are aware of the negative consequences.

Continued Use Despite Harm: 

Despite experiencing adverse consequences in various aspects of their lives, such as health, relationships, work, or legal issues, individuals with addiction persist in their substance use or behavior.

Addiction can manifest in various forms, including:

Substance Addiction: 

Involves substances like drugs (e.g., alcohol, opioids, cocaine) and may lead to physical dependence.

Behavioral Addiction: 

Focuses on compulsive behaviors, such as gambling, gaming, or shopping, that provide a reward or pleasure.

The development of addiction is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. It is not solely a matter of weak willpower or moral failing. It's a medical condition that affects the brain's reward system, making it difficult for individuals to quit without proper support and treatment.

Treatment for addiction often involves a combination of medical, psychological, and social interventions. It's essential to seek professional help if you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, as it can have severe physical, emotional, and social consequences.

Overcoming addiction, especially from a spiritual perspective, can be a challenging journey. 

Here are some steps that can help, along with scriptural references.

Seek a divine help: 

The Christian faith emphasizes surrendering to the power of the Holy Spirit - our divine and sustainable help. For Christians, this could be found in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 

Prayer and Meditation (Power the Soul): 

Regular prayer and meditation can provide strength and inner peace.  

Injecting God's word into our imagination is a first stem to getting rid of addictions. If we can imagine the word, we can inject power into our soul. 

Storing God's word in our memory is another sure way to getting rid of addictions. It helps you retain the word in your soul and as a result get rid of addictive tendencies.  What rules your memory influences your imagination. Whatever controls your imagination create addictions or inspires dedication. 

Study God's word to inspire the intellect. Search the word until you gain access to the spirit of the word - rhema. This is a way to inspire the intellect. This is the birth place of wisdom - the ability to appropriately use acquired knoeldge - or whatever has been stored from God's word in our memroy.  

Crave for a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit to inspire the emotion. Our emotions get us connected, addicted, or dedicated to things we have imagined, memorized, or searched out. At this level, we need the fear of God to be entrenched in our hearts. Network with godly or God fearing people. Make the sanctuary of the most high your dweling place. Emabrace prayer, fasting and giving!

Make quality decisions that establish your Holy Ghost-inspired dedication.

Community and Support: 

Seek out a supportive community or fellowship group. 

In Christianity, this is akin to the fellowship in your local fellowship, student fellowship, or church. Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Self-Reflection: 

Introspection can lead to understanding the root causes of addiction. 

Forgiveness: 

Forgive yourself and others. In Christ, Matthew 6:14-15 states, "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."

Healthy Lifestyle: 

Focus on a healthy mind and body. 

Seek Professional Help: 

It's essential to combine spiritual practices with professional addiction treatment when necessary. Many faith-based organizations offer counseling and support groups.

GOD IS A SPIRIT by Kay Daniels

A young man sent me a message,
"Sir my friend brought up this question on our bible study group and it got me confused

Sir his question had me wondering if the breathe of life is the soul of man or the soul of man is the breath of life plus the dust (body) or is the soul another thing all together." When I listened to the voice notes, I discovered that his friend had issues with man been refered to as a spirit. In his words, he does not believe that man is a Spirit. 

In his words, "man is just a mortal being" Here is a my response. 

God (a Spirit) said let us create man after our image (spirit appearance) and likeness (spirit character, attitudes, behaviours) and this gives them dominion nature.

In Genesis 2:7, he went to the earth and made from the earth, a body. He breath into this body, the breath of life or the spirit man, and this body became a living soul.

 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The spirit man (the components of the breath of God) made the body a living soul.

God is a Spirit and they that must worship him must do so in spirit and in truth ...

It takes a Spirit (God) to relate with a spirit.

 John 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Man is a Spirit, that has a soul (imagination, memory, intellect, emotion and will) and lives in a body.

God created man, male and female created them....

Genesis 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Man is a Spirit, male and female are mortals....but man is the spirit nature, that is man that is like God  - immortal...that is the part of man Jesus said would would be quickened at the time of judgment....

In a male and female, there is a man ( spirit).

Anything that has its own life, has a spirit.... It takes a Spirit to speak to a spirit...

John 6:63, ....John 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 3:5-6  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

If a man is born of the Spirit, then he is spirit.

To becomes a son of God is to be born a spirit.....

John 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Spiritual understanding is key to interpreting scriptures....and not just what you think....

You need precepts (inspiration or divine ideas) before concepts (what you think)

May we receive spiritual understanding to capture and retain the truth.
