*Late Dr Myles Munroe; a man of wisdom* was quoted as saying:

I was born poor, sleeping on the floor with cockroaches and rats. Today, I own my own jet. Everything I have is paid for. I am debt free; I open new businesses every year and mentor many people,”

*ON UNEMPLOYMENT*
Myles Munroe strongly discouraged the reliance on Government for jobs, describing it as ‘lazy thinking.’“There is no such thing as unemployment in the world. What you call unemployment is what I call lazy thinking,” he says.“The work of government is not to create jobs, but to create an environment for people to develop their own work,” he asserts.

*ON GIFTS/TALENTS*:
Munroe discourages employed professionals against relying solely on their jobs for income, urging them to instead create wealth using their unique talents. He also challenges aspiring entrepreneurs to develop and refine their expertise in a talent, idea, service or body of
knowledge.When you refine your gift in an area, you become valuable; people seek you out and pay you,

*ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP*:
Munroe said setting principles is the first step towards achieving success for any budding entrepreneur. “I will never be poor again because I have learnt the principles of business,” he asserts.“I can say without a doubt that what I have accomplished is based on principles passed on to me by my parents. You should never build your life on facts or techniques because these often become obsolete,” he cautions.“For you to survive today, you must accept the reality of partnerships. If someone emerges as my competition today, I am not supposed to kill them, but marry them,” he states.“Do not curse a crisis; use it. Every business is a solution to a crisis. Develop the capacity to solve a problem and you will become a successful entrepreneur.”

*HIS 10 WORDS OF WISDOM TO AFRICA*;

1. Understand crisis and use it to solve a problem. Every business is a response to a problem.
2. Initiate something; do not wait for things to be done.

*LEADERSHIP* *LESSONS FROM PETER*

"There were *together* SIMON PETER, and Thomas called Didymus and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebeddee, and two other of his disciples
Simon Peter saith unto them, I GO A FISHING. They saith unto him, *We also go with thee*
They went forth and entered into a ship *immediately*and......"(John 21 : 2 - 3)

Only people of influence make great leaders.
To be a person of influence, you would need to become a Frontliner and someone who's passionate and committed to a course.

From the scripture above, we see how much a leader's influence can affect his team.
Peter arose and informed his friends of his desire to go back to his secular job; obviously this was seemingly appropriate since their Rabbi had left them "stranded in ministry "😉

Lesson 1

It matters a leader's disposition towards any challenge any organization gets to face.
If he is *badly hit emotionally*, everyone else would naturally fall in line behind him in the moody state.
If he is standing strong, they would find succour in his courage and tag along.

Lesson 2:

We also learn that any great leader is the rallying point of his squad. Togetherness is what happens when the leader is the one making it happen. Great leaders help their teams bond very well.
They gather.
They don't scatter.

Peter's announcement in our text caused an immediate response - they got into the ship immediately and headed for the fishing trip.

Hmmmm...

May the LORD help you grow into such an influential leader.
May the grace to achieve the expected results be upon you .
May your leadership skills and graces grow exceedingly, in Jesus ' Name! 🙏🏼

HOW TO INSPIRE MANNERS IN YOUR CHILDREN.

1. When entering the house greet your children or even hug them. This should help develop their sense of love and self worth.

2. Be good to your neighbours and never backbite. Never speak ill of other drivers when on the road. Your children would listen, absorb and emulate.

3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you.

4. When driving them to school, don't always play albums or cds in the car. Rather, tell them some motivational stories yourself. This will have a greater impact - trust me!

5. Read to them a short story and even a scripture a day – it doesn't take much time, but very impactful in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories.

6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable cloths even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being clean and tidy has nothing to do with going out!

7. Try not to blame or comment on every word or action they say or do. Learn to overlook and let go sometimes. This certainly builds their self-confidence.

8. Ask your children's permission before entering their rooms. Don't just knock and enter, but then wait for a verbal permission. They will learn to do the same when wanting to enter your room.

9. Apologize to your children if you made a mistake. Apologizing teaches them to be humble and polite.

10. Don't be sarcastic or make fun of their views or feelings, even if you "didn't mean it" and was "only joking". It really hurts.

11. Show respect to your children's privacy. Its important for their sense of value and self-esteem.

12. Don't expect that they will listen or understand the first time. Don't take it personal. But be patient and consistent.

13.Pray with them. Show them how to pray. Lead by example.

*🌀POISON FOR HUSBAND*

Last month my neighbour went to complain to her
mother!

*Daughter:* Mom, I can not stand my husband. I want to kill him but I don't have the courage to do it, Can you help me?please!

*Mother:* Yes my daughter, I can. But there is a small problem . You will be forced to make peace with him first so that none will suspect you for his death. You are going to be so much good and kind to him, take care of him.

Be romantic, grateful, patient, loving, submissive to him. See him as your kid not your mate or subject... be less selfish, more just, more listening to him, take all the rubbish from him, don't nag or criticize him.

My daughter, I know you can do it, so don't doubt yourself. Work starts this evening. Can you ?

*Daughter:* Yes mom.

*Mother:* Ok, it's .... Well take this white powder which is the substance to kill him. Every day, you'll pour a bit in his food and he will die slowly.

*After 30 days, daughter returned to give feedback to her mother.*

*Daughter:* Mom, I really no longer want to kill my husband again. He is soo romantic, loving and caring person. Now I like him, he's changed and became softer than before. What can I do to prevent the poison?

*Mother:* Hahahahahaha

*Daughter:* Why are you laughing? Is it too late to save my husband's life?

*Mother:* No, my dear!. You don't have to worry. What I gave to you was cassava flour. He will not die.

In reality, it is in you that the poison was. When you fuel hatred and resentment in you, it kills slowly even more than a poison, so I had to work on you instead of your husband.

*Daughter:* Hmmmmmm. Thank you, sweetest mum.

*✍ T I P S*

☛Make yourself Happy and *make others around you happy.*

☛When you start to love and cherish your
husband, wife, brother, sister, son, daughter, mother and father, *you will see the sweetness in them.*

*A prison inmate on death row soon to be put on the electric chair was asked his last wish before he died, He asked for a pen and paper and wrote:-*

✍_Dear Mum,_

_If the law was fair, today you could be here with me waiting to be hanged together in the electric chair, but since the law is so blind, I have been convicted for the crimes we committed together, Mum, remember how it started._

_Do you remember the day I stole my friends sweet, you didn't punish me, you only said I was young, Mum remember when I used to steal dad's money but you didn't report me, remember at 15 when I stole our neighbours bicycle i hid it in the garage you saw me and kept quite I was with you and later I sold it to scrap you did nothing._

_Mum the day I was suspended from school for smoking and dodging lessons dad wanted to punish me but you stopped him, remember very well that day you had bitter argument with dad because you supported me saying that the teachers were wrong, and when me and my friends broke into Jimmy's shop did you call the police? Remember I was hidden at home._

_Mum, you never guided me, I was just a child, a little young boy who needed your guidance but you loved me so much and never corrected me and now its your love that has made me to die of a shameless death in this electric chair being convicted for the crimes we committed together..._

_Your loving son._✍

*To all parents out there... here is a big lesson for us, let's guide our children well, If your child does something wrong punish them, help them to choose well from good and bad, help them to learn, don't love so much to extent of spoiling children.*

_HAPPY SUNDAY_

*RECOMMENDED WAYS TO BEAT YOUR WIFE:*

I don't use belt, I don't use abusive words, I don't use s*x starvation to beat her, I don't use blow, I don't use kick. I am a king & married to a queen. Such don't happen in a palace like ours. This is the way I 'beat' my wife and I am recommending it for all men. The reason why my Queen can't leave me is because she is enjoying the beating. This is the way I beat her. I beat her by:
B - BEAUTIFYING HER,
E - ENCOURAGING HER,
A - ASSISTING HER, and
T - TREATING HER AS A QUEEN.
No woman can die in your hands no matter how many times you beat her in a day as long as you do it the way I do it to my Queen. I know this is the way women will love their husbands to BEAT them. There can't be divorce or separation if we BEAT our wives like this. When you use belt, wire, blow, knife, slap, or any domestic violent means on your wife, you are worthy to be awarded a duplex at Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital or you can go there yourself and tell them to detain you there until you are okay. For all excellent husbands, follow that syllabus I gave you on how I beat my own Queen daily & go and do likewise.
The joy of your family is my priority.

*WISDOM FOR WIVES!*
As a wife, your BEAUTY attracts your husband, but your WISDOM will continue to keep him! Your ELEGANCE catches his ATTENTION, but your INTELLIGENCE convinces him! NAGGING irritates your husband, but your "CONSTRUCTIVE SILENCE" weakens him! Remember that the "boyish" character in your husband comes out occasionally, but your ability to always handle it, is a sign that you are a MATURED WIFE! Every man has "Secret Struggles and Pains" including your husband. If you should ever find them out from him, please exhibit the greatest maturity by asking the Originator of your marriage (GOD), to help you with USEFUL IDEAS, that you will suggest to him (your husband)! In the long run, your KIND WORDS matter to your husband than your "LOOKS"! So, always invest the RIGHT WORDS!

Dear Parents,

There are things that parents do that makes me wonder if they
know the implications. In my teaching career, I've come to
realize that children who are wellbrought up produce better results.

What I see these days is trainingthe "butty"(aje butter) way which
gets me scared of what will happen in the next 10-15years.
I see eight year olds who don't bother to lay their beds. I see 10year olds served by the maid or "caring mum" on the table and they either don't pack the table or they just dump the plates in the kitchen for the maid
or "caring mum".
Drivers carry the bags of children above 5years and the children call them "my driver". Manual cloth washing is gradually been replaced by
washing machines yet the maid or "caring mum" will be the one
to do the laundry.
Children wake up and go straight to the TV and sleep late watching TV with mum & dad but mum & dad don't allow them read late.
They'll say "go and sleep".
Parents pls let's be careful what we teach our children
