THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 81 TOPIC: AIM FOR RESPECT AND HONOR

 


“A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.” Ecc7:1 Nkjv

Anyone who wants to build a lasting success must master the act of self-respect and creating positive track record.

Today the pursuit of honour and respect is fast becoming a thing of the past, because what we are after is creating wealth and pursuing fame.

True influence and wealth are built through honour and integrity.

“Respect is reciprocal” this is a true saying, you cannot earn respect when you are worthy of it. Respect comes to those who know how to give it and how to live it.



“There are so many honourable men and women by title, with true honourable men and women missing in action”

Honour is not obtained by position or office, no!

It is a function of your lifestyle and character. It is something you build over time.

Why do you respect those you hold in high esteem?

Is it because of their riches, cars or houses?

Why is it that there are people in society who are very rich, but nobody takes them seriously?

Why do you think there are famous people who are ridiculed and shunned?

Why is it that some elderly persons are disrespected without apology?

Respect and Honor are not earned by age, nor riches, it is not earned by educational status or political office. These two phenomena are earned by impeccable demonstration of character, integrity and sacrifice.

The world will always respect men who sacrifice themselves to make the world a better place, the world will always honour a man of integrity it’s only a matter of time, and the world celebrates a man of character.

Never settle for less than the best, live a respectable life, don’t pursue money and lose your integrity, don’t pursue money and be a laughing stock or topic of trivia discussions.

 

Be that guy or lady that when people call your name it will be to praise you or advise others to be like you.

 

 QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“Live every day knowing that one day you will be no more or put every day as if it is your last?”

 

Written Clarkson O. Adebayo

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 58, THEME: THE MAN, TOPIC: THE MAN AND HIS BRIDE

  “Marriage is a very crucial part of human existence and it is the life blood of the society at large, because what the community will look like Strongly rest on what families look like and what families looks like depends on the Kind of head(man) and the neck(wife) that supports it” THE MAN AND HIS BRIDE Society has suffered a great deal because we haven't given attention to family life which obviously determines a lot of things. We would not be able to fully look into this discussion if we do not grasp God's intentions for man and then God's intentions for giving him a help meet for him.   IT IS NOT GOOD   God saw that it wasn't good for man to be alone, I'm carrying out the purposes of God man needs a help meet for him, it is the man and his wife that will become a family and establish the purposes of God in the society if darkness abides in a community, it is reflective of the fact that the families in that community have failed to establish the cou...

Don’t cheat the world of your contribution. Give it what you’ve got.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no ovverseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest and poverty will come on you like a baandit and scarcity like an armed man." (Prov 6:6-11 NIV). The ants are preparing, the birds are building their  nests, the beaver is constructing his dam. All of creation invests in the future, prepares for winter, and delay gratification for the purpose of a better tomorrow. We should follow their lead and begin to set our gaze on tomorrow while maximazing our moments and opportynities today. There is need for you to invest in your life, if you want to be relevant in your generation and generations to come, unless you want to lament! "had I known in your old age." Your goal should not be to be the most beautif...

  MAD MEN   If you want to change the world, you must first change yourself, if you want to move the world, you must first move from the world, if you want your name inscribed in the sand of time, you must maximize every single second that passes. Do you think the future is the ten years you’re yet to see? no! it is every moment that flashes past you.   WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME?   “You can tell how great a man is by what he invests his time into.” Men who will change the world are careful about what they do with their time, they don’t choke themselves with activities, they invest in fruitful activities and endeavors.  “Being busy won’t make you great, it is what you invest your time and life into that will determine how great you are.”   HAVE YOU HEARD OF MIKE ZUCKERBERG?   Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of the world’s biggest social network (Facebook). And one of the world's youngest billionaire. He is ...
