See this New Post. It's a must-to-read Yea…that’s exactly what this post is all about. I want to help you to determine the outcome of your goals, business, academics, church and organization even before you start. Wow…it makes life easy, it makes success predictable. Not just once, but every time you plan to execute any project. In fact, I will advise you never to start a journey you are not sure of its outcome. This is how God operate and functions. He never start anything until he had finished it. God always determines the result before He starts any project. From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be-Isaiah 46:10 (MSG) Only I can tell you the future before it even happens (NLT) God is never caught unawares, nothing ever surprises Him.

Let me show you quickly some distinguishing characteristics between players and spectators. 1. ...

You are not a minority, you are powerful enough to create the change that the world needs. In my recent visit to Abu Dhabi, my brother and I visited a senior colleague in his exquisite home. He had been in the United Arab Emirates for many years. Then we got talking about Nigeria; how bad the state of the nation is, the terrible and untrustworthy leadership, the failed government, corruption and how everybody is leaving the country for greener pasture. Then, I started telling him that Nigeria will still become a great nation to be proud of in the future. Surprisingly, he got angry and said “Nigeria can never be better, all hope is lost” I insisted it will. We argued for a while and he asked me a question, “Who will make Nigeria a great nation” I said “It’s me.” I added and you, you, you (pointing to people there). Everybody laughed at me and said you are a minority, you can’t change Nigeria, “you are not even a leader in politics” he added. Yet, it dawned on me that God is r...
