THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 74, TOPIC: GIFTED

  GIFTED “ You were given your gift for the joy you may give in return”- Cornelius Elmore INTRODUCTION: The word gift can be used interchangeably with talents depending on the context in which it is been used, in this case, it can be used.  According to the English mini dictionary, Gift means: 'A talent or natural ability', while Gifted means, 'Endowed with special, in particular intellectual, abilities'. Nobody was created empty, nor made without a purpose to fulfill on earth. Our journey on earth is one that is defined by our purpose and conditioned by time. We live within the coordinates of time.  Some will say we're limited by time; others will say we're motivated by time. It all depends on what you see and believe, and it matters a lot what you think about time.   ATTITUDE The way we approach the issue of time depends on our mindset, some persons are professional time wasters, some are average time-wasters while a few are time managers. It i...

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 73, TOPIC: WHY WE LOSE/MISS OPPORTUNITIES

  TOPIC: WHY WE MISS OPPORTUNITIES. “Opportunity comes to those who seek for it, not those who wait for it.” Opportunities don't wait for anyone, you have to seek and find them.           Opportunities are everywhere, they exist around us, they increase by the day as knowledge increase, you have to build capacity to maximize them.   Most persons have been forced to believe that opportunities are meant for some few “lucky” fellows, that’s a lie, anyone can encounter opportunities, it all depends on your level of preparation and commitment to take the bold and impossible step. Michael Dell said, “It’s through curiosity and looking at opportunities in new ways that we’ve always mapped our path.” Try to live beyond the status quo.   REASONS WHY PEOPLE LOSE/MISS OPPORTUNITIES. There are diverse reasons why people miss/loss opportunities, but I'll focus on just three reasons, they're as follow; 1.      LACK OF SELF-D...

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, TOPIC: I AM A WOMAN

  I Am A Woman INTRODUCTION: After birth, as we grew, we were taught to understand the implication of our gender, the consequences of making wrong actions and attributes that distinguish you from the male gender. For some of us, we raised questions, our minds wondered ‘Why is it so hard to be a woman or a girl, as the case may be?’ But other times, we uttered words like ‘Thank God I'm not a man'. So we found ourselves accepting our gender definition when the condition was favorable and appealing, and also wishing we had made another choice, if we could, as far as gender was concerned. May I remind you that once you cannot accept or appreciate the fact that you came as a woman, you would always find fault in ‘being a woman', you would never consider yourself good enough as a woman. CAN I BE ANYTHING ELSE? Let's talk about me for a moment. I am a woman (well, I would define myself better as a Lady, with respect to age and marital status). But, the list progres...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, 'THE WOMAN', TOPIC: My MOTHER , MY INFLUENCER.

  MY MOTHER MY INFLUENCER. WHAT KIND OF MOTHER DO YOU WANT TO BE?              Even before my first tears hits the ground, my mother was there to wipe it away . My mother feels my pains before I can even realize it. She understands my needs before I can even think of them.   That’s why we call her a mother.   My mother has been an extraordinary influence in my life and always will, she is the kind of mum who would always take timeout to care for her children not only her biological children, but also her spiritual children, adopted children, friends, families, relatives, love ones and even enemies. She lived sacrificial live, she is so simple and easy going, always smiling even at difficult time, she doesn't give up and she has taught me to be strong, prayerful, reliable as a woman, sister, wife, mother and all that I represent.   BE RELIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE: "Reliability and responsibility are two ...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 71, 'THE WOMAN', TOPIC: THE WOMAN; MAN'S JEWEL.

  The Woman; A Man's Jewel. According to the Merriam Webster a jewel is defined as a material that is highly esteemed. And as such, it is priceless. No one places high value on cheap and common products. In fact, anyone in possession of a jewel ensures its maximum protection; some even keep it with banks. “The value a man places on a woman is determined by her worth in his life, and the value she adds in complementing him.” It is also worthy of note that the value of a jewel is in its component and composition. So I ask you dear friend, what are you made of? The Bible clearly spells out the composition of the ideal woman for us, in Proverbs 31:10-31. The Scriptures call her virtuous. Your worth is not only determined by your physical appearance, but in the totality of what you have to offer. Should your man be down in any area of life, can he trust you to lift him up? Are you prepared to be profit to him, or he will be at loss with you in his life? Let me conclude by...

Even our being alive is the impact of the breath of life on our bodies. All through life, we experience impact, one way or the other. We come in contact with people who have either a positive or a negative effect on us. (Throughout this write-up I will be using the words 'impact' and 'effect' interchangeably). The impact of all these contacts, whether positive or negative, sharpen our lives. For instance, the impact of peer pressure, is felt by us all, not just teenagers. Some young people have gotten into prostitution, abusing drugs, etc., because of their friends. So also have some...

CONCLUSION   “We should not keep running in cycles, it’s high time we pick up the challenge of redirecting our goals from fancy and trends to such things as unleashing our potentials to saving our fading and failing world like a mother would save her dying child, else our families, communities, nation and the world at large may never become that place we desire to live. So Arise WOMEN, LETS SAVE OUR CHILD, LETS SAVE OUR WORLD.” Blessing Efe 1.     INTRODUCTION: The woman is a gift to man, a crafted masterpiece made by God himself to complete the man and give him strength to conquer whatever failure he may encounter. The woman is a better version of man full of deposits ...
