THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 56: THEME: THE MAN, TOPIC: AN INFLUENCER

 THE MALE MAN: AN INFLUENCER   

From the dawn of time, man was created and formed in the image of the living God and charged with the charter of dominion. He was furnished everything he needed under heaven, to rule, multiply and dominate the earth. The male man however, was given the responsibility of bringing this to manifestation. It is expected that the man wakes up to responsibility and takes charge of what is his, before he loses it. For the man to attain full potential and become an agent of positive change and transformation in the society, a lot of factors must come to play. To be able to achieve this, man must take up ‘leadership’ from the home-front to the societal level. 

John C. Maxwell in his book the 360ยบ Leader defines leadership as “influence, and influence can be seen as one’s ability to alter or change the behavior, decisions and outcomes of other people either negatively or positively.” This is the lot of man, to be a major influencer in the society and to his generation at large. Thus, man must take frantic steps to get him there. The question however is; how do I influence my world and my generation? 

Become the man that consciously influences his world 

America’s master motivator and world revered public speaker Zig Ziglar once said, 

“You can get everything in life

you want if you help enough

other people get what they want."

This is the truth therefore, that whatever it is you want or need, God has placed in the life and hands of an individual(s), and you must take steps to properly connect and identify with them so as to get your own portion, be it ideas, information, relationships, finance, motivation and what have you.

MEANS OF MAXIMIZING INFLUENCE


a.SINCERELY CONNECT WITH PEOPLE: Be intentional about relating with people. You must be responsible for connecting with people, and relating to them in a way that increases their own influence. When you can connect with people, you begin to form relationships and relationships are the basis of influence. Relationship is an inexplicable resources, it balances your influence.

b.HELP LIFT PEOPLE UP: Always show kindness and attention to others. Your words and attention, might be filling the void in someone’s heart. It does not matter who or what they are, all that matter is who they will become because of you. Turbo-charge the people around you, motivate them to take steps each day that leads to greatness. Let your words build people up and not tear them down. Be part of the success story of others.


c.INVEST IN THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS: The more you invest in people and lift them toward the achievement of their goal, the more likely they are to view you as mentor or inspirer. Being a man is not a titles, positions or flow-charts but a call to influencing people and things to flourish. A real man bring out the personal best in those around them, especially his spouse, children and everyone related to him one way or the other. 

" The fasted way to rise in life is to left others up, the more people you help succeed, the more loyal friends and helpers you'll have." Clarkson O.Adebayo.

d.LEAD WITH CHARACTER: It’s a true saying, that if you want to test someone’s character, give them power. Being a man of character means doing what’s right, however hard it is. Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing. People will follow you when you exhibit strong character and integrity.

CONCLUSION:

A real man is one who has mastered the act of influencing others to become better versions of themselves, achieve impossible goals and impact their generation.

THE Champions series 63, POEM Titled: Follow Your Heart

  FOLLOW YOUR HEART We live in a society  Where minds are positioned And our thought conditioned We’re told what to think and say What to eat and not to eat Where to go and not to go What to wear and not to wear Our minds are left fallow Always on the lookout to follow Unable to make our own choices As children, we wanted something more Something more than just warm embrace We had pictures pictures of what we wanted once Stamped to our hearts We grew up and realized We had let it go like a common coat Because we were told… To follow Follow the system Follow religion before conviction Fashion before innovation Education before passion Gratification before distinction Celebration before determination Monitivity before creativity My teacher once said, Vision precedes competition Wisdom precedes ambition Journey not without your brain Men’s opinions will ruin But God’s opinion will lift you Make your decisions and follow your heart.

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 85, TOPIC: THE DANGERS OF WHAT IF?

  I have thought of the best title to give this article and the above was all I could think of. So many lives have not been inspired or will I say some destinies have been limited or simply not being helped because we have always dwelt so long on these two words “ What if ” . What if, I am criticized? What if I don’t sing the song so well? What if I fail at my first attempt and many what-ifs? IN THOSE DAYS Some of my friends and I in 2012 pioneered a group called “world-changers” and in the early stage of The initiative I had so many questions unanswered within me but somehow, I was so focused on the passion burning within me to lend my little voice to the youth who was our targeted audience? I had somewhat ifs? On my mind. Then, as an undergraduate, we had days we travelled to states for strategic meetings to plan for the world changers events , I didn’t recognize the impact of that investment we were making on ourselves and others. One of the days while we went for this...
