Divine Provision through Time Management!




Eccl 3:1-12
“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven” V 1 
 


There was a testimony of a young man that needed money to pay his school fees, so he prayed to God, to assist him.  One evening on his way back from an errand, he saw a public notice invitation to attend a three day workshop on Infant mortality, to begin by 8:00am, there and then he had a ministration to attend the workshop, not knowing what God was really up to, he agreed.

Early the next morning he was up, did his morning functions and was at the venue by 7:30am,only to find ,the place almost deserted, except for an elderly woman standing at the entrance to the hall, and few on-lookers; the young man greeted the woman and went along into the hall, before he was called back by the lady and asked if he had any specific function to cover, his response was ‘no’, that he just came to attend; the lady requested him, if he would not mind to assist in the workshop secretariat, because people penciled down for the task, are not fought coming and the commencement time was almost due, with no workshop material ready. That was how the young man got engaged in the secretariat and at the end of the workshop he was given an allowance of #10,000 for his assistance.

What’s the lesson behind the story; even with the ministration if the young man had gone late, he would have missed God’s provision for him. I don’t know how many such divine provisions you have been missing, because of lateness to duty, church or school? Cast away procrastination today, it is a thief of time. (Prov. 24:30-34)

Everybody Should Win:The need to Learn how to Resolve Conflict

“Two are better than one, because they have good return for their labour” Eccl. 4:9 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord” Hebrews 12:14 As a development consultant with some specialty in conflict management, working in the space for over a decade now, I can confirm that indeed life is inevitable without conflicts. But how we manage the process is key. The Bible references above reminds of the benefits we get from working together and also living in peace and above all the spiritual benefits. Living in peace facilitates holy living, which in turn makes us to see the Lord, in everything we do. This article will be a form of review of Gary Chapman’s book “Everybody Wins: Guide to Solving Conflicts without Arguing” (if you can please get a copy for yourself). The goal of everyone, couples or people in relationship should be to resolve conflict without arguing. We must first establish before proceeding ...

Prayer Mission Statement IV

Acts 10:1-8 “He and all his family were devout and God fearing, he gave generously to those in need and prayed regularly” v 2. We go a step further  in our family prayer series, before we round up it up with the next post by His grace. The suggestion in part IV is to formulate a family prayer mission statement, our praying should focus on our mission statement. Remember some couples of weeks back, we shared the issue of vision and mission statement together and through the scripture, we agreed that without a vision/mission statement people perish, people are stagnant or have no direction at all. Like said yesterday that as a family there is need to have or know the purpose and plan of God for our family. The statement could be written or not, but it gives your family direction. For Cornelius, he and his family knew they were meant to help the poor and pray fervently. They never used their position as a prominent military family to intimidate people. Their statement ...
