We Need Dreamers.

The world needs people who have a dream! 

It is those that have a dream that become leaders, it is leaders who have influence, and it is those who have influence that are positioned to change the world.

 Dreamers are important, dreams are vital because dreams and dreamers are necessary in the equation of  success and progress. Your dream is your vision. Your mental picture and visualization, the standard you have set for yourself, for a product, a person, a people or an organisation. Dreams give you hope, they help you not to settle for less, dreams give you something to look forward to, dreams keep you excited, dreams keep you motivated, dreams keep you expectant, dreams keep you moving, dreams help you maintain a positive mindset and dreams help you earn respect and love. Good leaders are simply good dreamers. A President of a nation should have a dream for that nation. If he doesn't have a dream for that nation he/she should have no reason or basis to aspire for the Presidency in the first place. When you have a dream to lead people, a positive dream to do well for people it helps to keep you in love.In love with those you want to lead. One of the challenges of countries that are not as developed as they ought to be is the fact that their leaders don't love their people. If their leaders loved them, their leaders would lead them better and make decisions in their best interest.

History attests to the fact that those who have a dream and keep their dreams alive against all odds are the ones who make it to the top.. Dreamers are the ones who carry the answers!

 Dreams help you endure and give you a reason to keep going when times seem rough.

No country gains prominence or rises any higher than the ability of it's leaders to dream and think.

No business grows and moves with the change of time than the ability of it's leadership to dream and think!

A family cannot be any better or happier than the ability of its head,and the ability of the parents to have a dream for that family. Men who have a dream are very few and far between. The bane of most countries regarded as third world countries has been it's leadership. Unfortunately most of those who have found themselves in power in such parts of the world are people who have no dream,and are therefore not moving with the progressive 'spirit' of the times. Because they have no dream,they are busy focusing and wasting wealth on things that won't last to the next generation, issues that have no long term value and spending on selfish and vindictive purposes. They lack ideas because they don't have any dreams. Ideas are rooted in dreams and dreams work with the mind. When a dream is received by an individual or a people, the means, they way and the resources to make that dream manifest begins to take place in the mind. Our minds begin to work to see to the manifesting of the dreams we have chosen to embrace. In other words dreams keep our mental faculties working and fully functional.

In a day and age when developed countries are into space exploration and discovering & developing technologies, countries regarded as third world countries are still struggling with power failure. 
It's a shame because the finances are there to make things happen! 
It's the visionary leadership that is lacking. 
We still practice 'bread and butter politics' and are surrounded by 'owambe' politicians who are bereft of ideas.
Religious institutions also have a responsibility to do more for their followers. Platforms should be created not just to 'glorify' the leader/shepherd but to develop & promote talents among us. The citizens of a country are the glory of that country!The solution to such a rot is to see to it that men who have a dream are the ones who are voted into power.
Dreams give you a goal.When you dissect your dream you will be able to see short term goals and long term goals to make that dream happen.

R.I.P Nelson Mandela

The prince of African leaders is gone.
That is what I choose to call him.
It's sad, but we can only hope he is in a better place. He should be in a better place, after all he exemplified love. Love lifted up this great man and leader. Forgiveness, rooted in love is part of what lifted this man who is an asset to Africa and the entire world head and shoulders above other African leaders.
Without any argument this humble and brilliant man who is the son of a South African tribal chief rose to become a prominent voice in his own nation South Africa and eventually the world.
His life demonstrates to us that there are still some few good men in this world worthy of emulation who are role models to the coming generation.
His perseverance, patience, endurance and indomitable spirit evolved him into a powerful revolutionary who concepts, ideas and effort broke the backbone of apartheid in South Africa.
His voice and spirit lives on, he will not be forgotten.
The book 'Long Walk To Freedom' is his beautifully written autobiography which is a delight and inspiration to read, and the newly premiered film with the same title as Mandela's autobiography starring Idris Alba will serve as means of remembering this great creation of God.
My book 'GREAT WORDS FOR GREAT LIVING' will be one of those materials out there that will serve as a means of remembering and honoring this great son of Africa even for many generations to come.
I encourage you to get copies from www.authorhouse.co.uk or www.amazon.com

THE SPIRIT IN A MAN!

The word 'man' is a generic word that is used in referring to humanity as a whole, both male and female.

But in this article I am using the word 'man' purely in reference to the male gender. 

In using the word 'spirit' I am referring to the make up, heart and being' of the male gender.
It is very important that the world knows the man is different from the woman in many respects. A proper understanding of this will bring about more peace between the sexes on the job, in platonic friendships, in romantic relationships and marriage.

In a man's innermost being he is a warrior. He is equipped to fight spiritually, mentally, psychologically and even physically if he has to protect what he regards as his own.
In the Bible, every man God's spirit came upon became a warrior of some sort. 

Men have always been created to 'fight' and take territory. From Gideon, to Samson, from Abraham to Jacob, from King David to wise King Solomon whose battles where largely 'wisdom battles' which he excelled in above all the Kings of the earth there has always been battles carved out for men to engage in.

Women are nurturers and cultivators. 

They are not designed or cut out to do battle with men, especially their husbands. 

Their role is to support the man in his many battles in life. 

The woman was created for and because of the man.
Unfortunately we live in an age and time where men are becoming women and women are trying to become men. 

Roles are being reversed due to a lack of understanding of each sexes uniqueness, no wonder the world is in a mess.
There will be more peace in the home if the woman understands her man and the man understands his woman. More women will understand their husbands if their fathers had taught them who men are.
A lot of wives see think their husband is another woman, it leads to them getting into arguments with him and fights, which break down the family unit.
The spirit in a man is such that men show compassion to those who are submitted to them or lower than them, they fight and do battle with those who are on the same plane with them and they respect and reverence that which is superior or higher than them. This is the reason the Bible encourages women to be submitted to their husbands. 

Not because they are inferior, but its for the sake of structure and order in a home and because  of the way the man is 'built', because of the man's spirit.
When a woman rises up against her husband, she has signaled to him that she is not under his authority, when she does that she has signaled to her husband that they are equal in authority, when she rises against her husband she has declared he isn't her lord.

 That way she presents herself as someone he should fight, because there is no order between them. This type of stance and attitude robs a woman of her beauty in the man's eyes. 

He begins to see her as another man not a woman he should protect.

 It is the cause for a lot of physical abuse in many homes, men who hit their wives were not seeing her as a woman at the time he hit her. He was so upset, he was seeing her as another man he was in battle with. 

This is a psychology about men many women need to understand.
And when a man starts seeing his wife as another man, he will fight her, instead of fighting for her, for there cannot be two masters in a 'ship'.
Single ladies who have the privilege of having their fathers or who have male mentors with them should find out from him who a man is before they get married, it will save them a lot of heartache.
In the marital union, a wife can never 'prevail' against her husband in any form of battle. 

She can't because she has been placed under the authority of her husband.
 If she doesn't understand this she will fight battles with her husband she will never win and remain in misery.

We "must" be Born Again- BORN FROM ABOVE

Cyclops, Giants, and Genesis 6.

Giants once walked the face of this earth, I know this to be true because the Bible says so.
 In Genesis 6 we are told of a race of giants who were the mighty men of their day, they were evil and were eventually wiped out by a miraculous flood during the days of Noah.

Archaeology also shows us evidence of this fact.
There are bone fossils, skulls and skeletal structures pieced together that show an evidence of men who were giants that once lived on the face of this earth.
 Men as tall as 20 feet, 19 feet and various heights from 8 feet and above.

Giants are not just some fictional beings created to tickle our imagination and curiosity.

The picture above is a picture I took yesterday at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington London.

It is a skull of one of the giants that lived from ancient times.

That skull is not the skull of an ordinary human being. 

It is about 5 times the size of a normal human skull.

This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that giants have existed here on earth in different parts of the world.
The most famous giant in history is probably Goliath, the giant David the shepherd boy killed, and according to the Biblical account he was about 9 feet and six inches tall.

L.A Marzulli an archaeologist and Nephilim researcher, has loads of archaeological evidence of technologies, discovered cities and civilizations that these giants he calls Nephilims lived in and used. Technologies that were beyond their time, and stone masonry and architecture that was not found anywhere else except in the regions where these giants lived.

The word Nephilim is a Hebrew word for 'fallen ones'. 

It is believed and I believe it too that these giants are children of the fallen angels cast out of heaven, who took wives among the daughters of men according to Genesis 6.
How else could they have come about?

There are tales and stories, even in children's books of one eyed giants. 

Well, I believe they were once in existence at some point.

 Some of the giants that were wiped out during Noah's flood could have been one eyed. 

They are called Cyclops.

Some of these giants may have been handsome and charming, these became the inspiration for many of the Greek and Norse myths about Achilles, Zeus, Hercules, Apollo and Norse mythology about Odin, Thor and many of those heroic stories that fascinate us today.

But what I do know is that none of them were good though they had super human abilities and strength. In other words they were not heroes but were evil.

Why would God wipe them out with a flood if they were heroic and good?

Their source was evil and they were an evil bunch. 

They were a weak attempt by Satan to create his own type of men and humanity.
They were Satan's weak attempt to to infuse divinty and humanity together like God would successfully do through Jesus the Christ.

Satan has always wanted to create.

Satan wasn't created to create.

These giants came about as a result of the evil one's desperate attempt to corrupt God's human race which the evil one has always been jealous of.

There have been various accounts of giants in history, Gog and Magog, the Anakins, the Philistines, the King of Bashan etc

Angels and humans are not designed to come together in sexual union.

When this happened, these hybrids called Nephilims or Repahim came into existence.

Steve Quayle has done extensive research on giants through history in different parts of the world, check out his website: www.genesis6giants.com

Who Are Your Role Models?

Role models are heroes to someone, 

A role model is someone you aspire to be like, someone who has achieved the kind of things you will like to achieve.

A role model is a person living the way you will like to live, in terms of character, morals, ideals and ideologies, family life, spiritual life or career attainment.

The good thing is that you are somebody's role model, you are someone's hero.

Well, hopefully.

Role models inspire  a vision of possibility within us., they are in a sense human visions we aspire to be like in some way.

Positive, inspirational role models are hard to find, because they are in the minority. Unfortunately we live in times where the negative is praised and accepted, and the positive is rejected and belittled.

That being said, you can be that difference.
You can become the role model to subscribe to in your field of endeavor.

There are a number of people who have inspired me greatly, people whose passion I admire, whose intelligence inspires, and whose diligence has made an impact!
It's good to know we still have some positive role models in this world, shinning lights within the darkness of this world who by diligent study, the grace of God and unrelenting effort are a pride to hear and behold.

One of such men in my opinion is Les Brown, I consider him one of the finest speakers in the world, his public speaking delivery is both powerful and strategic,

He is also a very humble man. 

A man who loves his adopted mother passionately, he fulfills the Biblical command that we are honor our father and our mother.

Another role model for me is Anthony Robbins.

 A versatile, gifted business and life strategist with results beyond the ordinary for what he teaches. 

He's helped and transformed tons of lives through his gift and intelligence.

 When Anthony Robbins teaches, you can feel his compassion for people and his passion to help them.

 He  fulfills the wisdom nugget, "what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you"

Zig Ziglar of blessed memory is a role model worth watching, listening to and emulating. His books are very inspiring, his love for his wife is very commendable, his openness about his Christian faith is worth emulating and he has made tremendous impact in a positive way.

Norman Vincent Peale is another good model who has left a worthwhile legacy for generations through his writings and preaching. 

No other individual has shown the importance and psychology of right and positive thinking to the world like Norman Vincent Peale.

President Barack Obama is another role model the world will not forget.

 His achievements are historical, his life is an inspiration and the way and wisdom with which he channels his oratory gift is mesmerizing.

Paul Antonio is a calligrapher of repute whose gift and dedication to his work is admirable.
The passion, wisdom and dedication of Nigeria's Bishop Oyedepo is impressive and shows us qualities worth emulating.
In the field of science, I admire the spirit of exploration Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton have.
I love the God given wisdom of Mike Murdock and his heart for Pastors.
Former Governor of California, mega successful weight lifter and film star Arnold Schwarzzenneger has a fascinating life. 

I see him as one of those rare individuals who's made the most of the opportunities life has presented him.

We are all called to be role models. 

The call to be a role model is a call to leave the non-essentials of life, to focus on the things that really matter, it is a call to aspire to greater things, better values and in the process inspiring everyone in our sphere of influence positively.

No one is the summit and epitome of being a role model more than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Need For Life Mentors.

We don't need to suffer unnecessarily. Life has enough battles, complications and challenges that come with it, why add more challenges to what you have got when it can be avoided?

There is someone who has achieved what you want to achieve,there is someone who is where you want to be, there are people who have tread the path you are beginning to journey on. There are people who know what you need to know and can teach you what you need to be taught to get you to where you want to get to.

Such people can help you reduce the stress in your journey of life, they can help you get to your destination faster and avoid pain and hurts you do not have to experience. They have the ideas you need because they have been on a similar journey and are familiar with the terrain.

You should make such people your mentor.

Do you recognize a potential mentor when you see one?

Mentors are part of life's opportunities. Make the most of them.

How far you go in life will be determined by how well you seize opportunities.

It is crucial we make the most of our opportunities if we are going to live fulfilled lives.

A mentor is someone who has what you need to get to where you want to get to and is willing to share the secrets of the journey with you.
Mentors are actually destiny helpers.
Many have missed out on their God assigned mentors, due to an inability to discern them, pride and arrogance or the foolishness of thinking they can make it without direction from those who have gone a head of them.
Mentors help you lift the burden on your journey, they see what you do not see and know what you do not know. Mentors should be friendly but firm, disciplined and caring enough to straighten out their protege. A good mentor is one who knows where you are coming from, feels what you are going through but allows you to bear your own 'cross'.
Since life is designed for relationships, and we need other people to get to where we are going to, it's time we start opening ourselves up to the wisdom and privilege of good mentors.
