WAR 2 (PURPOSE)
Engaging in battles, winning battles and persevering in the face of oppositions requires the fighters to have a strong sense of purpose. Purpose as highlighted by Pastor Eddie is needed to ignite your passion. And when you’re passionate about something, you tend to channel important resources towards its direction. Rather than randomly fine tune our purpose by speculation, Bob Gass explains that the best way to get ahead in life ... Read more...
Put Your Best Foot Forward
These past weeks have been truly amazing for me and I am looking forward to better ones ahead. After some months of wishing, praying, and preparing, I finally had a chance to extend my training to a people I’d always wanted to impact positively, and also at the weekends I get to relax and enjoy. For two weekends in a row, I was treated to amazing musical and creative shows. ... Read more...
Who hates you?
This is like a really quick one because it is not what I’d planned on mailing out today, but somehow I think someone needs to hear this. On Sunday and this morning in fellowship the same passage was used, but in very opposite contexts. It’s the story of David. So let me paint it in a different way: 1.) He is a young handsome man 2.) He is very talented ... Read more...
1 Secret to better communication
Last week, I wrote about the spiritual dimension to Problem Solving and how you can improve the skill by meditating on the word of God. This week, this is another great one from the bible that addresses a Market Place / Life Pillar. I was privileged to sit one-on-one with a leading Recruiter in Africa and a Project Manager friend yesterday. A few minutes into meeting each other, his question ... Read more...
Meditating on God’s word: a key to problem solving
For me, I saw a reduction in the time I spend meditating on the word of God, and He came to my rescue. God’s task for me was simple, He simply said “Stop jotting down sermons in church on Sundays, just listen. When you get back home, reflect back on the sermon, then starting writing about what you learnt”. I have been struggling to do that well for the past ... Read more...
Commitment, a key to fulfillment
For almost the past decade of my life, I have been taught to understand the impact of Christians in the marketplace. Your job is not just a job, it is a ministry, that is your field. The analogy PE gives is: A laptop on one hand, a bible in the other hand. Where I work now, we took Marketplace ministry to another level. I mean, we have fellowship every weekday for 45 ...

I got a heart wrenching NO!
When counselling young girls, I recall encouraging many of them to learn to say No. Also I have had a few threats from guys who were on the receiving end of such Nos. The guys think I don’t understand the heart wrenching power of a “No” as answer (but in their case, only the “No” could stop their scheming plans). Many people are left broken by a No. Truth be ...

I’m a Celebrity, Get me out of here!
Let me start by saying obviously, there was no rapture (i.e. the world did not come to an end) on the 21st May 2011 as some people predicted. Nobody was “Lahayed” (thanks to Jon for that word) on this day which happened to be my Dad’s Birthday and my nephew’s birthday (considering time zones). Did you really think it will happen? On the side of the world where I ... Read more...

Be encouraged by this message: (word 4 today, 3rd April 2011) ”…He who comes to God ... Read more...
Business, Donkey, Commerce and the City
I have recently changed locations and experiencing a different world of work, business and commerce. It is interesting to know that what works in some places do not work in others. For instance, I have been trained to market solutions to customer’s needs. If I can find out what your needs are, then it is easier for me to tailor my business service to meet those needs so that we ... Read more...
