February 3, 2017 - Part 3 - They Didn't Start Big! They Started Small!! They Grew Big!!! They Grew Bigger!!!! - REMAINING @ STATUS QUO IS A CURSE




Refers to the major subject matter, those that are great today, started small, never started big but they grew big. Growing big is godly but remaining small is a big time curse which will be evidenced to indigenes and non indigenes. 

Below are a few lists of factors that have tied many people to status quo thinking it is solely the demon from their father, mother and in-law house. 

Laziness: Every lazy individual has a must to attend institute which is the “Institute of Ants” so as to run a session to learn from it. There is something worst than be casted with a spell which is laziness. It is so disdain to see lots of people with this poverty inclined spirit called laziness. 

The bandits that come up with this mundane spirit of laziness are never welcoming to the body, soul and spirit. This is one of the reasons why many people cannot become an Entrepreneur because many cannot function without supervision. I once worked with a boss who will never come into the office until 3pm at noon on a daily basis when the active portion of the day is almost over. He is used to been at home all through the day assumedly doing what is profitable but never seen. 

I read about Dr. Mike Adenuga of Globacom that his residence is always besides his office which gives him the opportunity to get to his office by 9-10am latest and work late at night. Here we come to see the likes of young youths of today who are fond of gallivanting around in the dead of the night in club, lounges and will get home early hours of the day to have their rest. 

Commit $1bn conglomerate business into the hands of a lazy fellow, he is committed to bring it to status quo if not to make it experience retrogression. It is so evidenced amongst some men of God today who assume ministry is just bread and butter; Pastor Albert Aina said being a FULL time minister doesn’t make you a FOOL time minister. 

No Mentor: You cannot enjoy the leverage of a mentor if you don’t have one. The place of a mentor in business, life, ministry and profession cannot be undermined. 

Mentors are leverage to as many that can take advantage of them. You need to engage a mentor in life so as to maximize them so that you’ll not fall where they fell, become a victim of situations they were.  
 
Presence of Curse: Curse causeth not without reason. God’s curse upon a man and his business will never make it thrive in life. Many Entrepreneurs, business owners are good at inviting God’s curse upon them as you will see many not tithing their business income, they fail to give good offering, and they fail to give back to their community. 

Man’s curse upon a business and cooperation can be potent to put a business and cooperation to a halt. Many business owners are very much dubious in their dealings which will only attract curse when their partner or customers know about it. Don’t be an attractor of curse upon your head and business. Curse can cut short the progress of your business and company.  

No Passion: No matter how lucrative the business looks like from afar, never venture into an adventure that you lack passion for. Passion is the fuel that drives you on. This is a passion of my life, to write, publish to bless people’s lives within and across the borders. I have been awake since 3:30am and still working till 6:20am and yet to resign for the night work until power goes off. 

It’s my passion; it fuels me though it is yet to rake the million dollars but I can stay awake all through the night to ensure I receive from the Lord to bless he lives of people. This is one of the reasons why I am always unstoppable and always moving at all times. 

No passion, no progress, low passion, low progress, more passion, more progress. Your progress will be undeniable; hence, your passion isn’t extinguished. 

Not Maximizing Talent: Many people are yet to realize that they need to unleash their talents to ensure that what they are involved in does not experience stagnation. Talent is not for fun, it is to be maximized so as to outsmart your competitors or ascertain significant progress in your business, career and ministry. 

Lack of Skills: The world is populated to an extent that you should know that there are many individuals in an industry that only skills can spell an individual amongst the crowd. 

It wasn’t only David that knew how to play guitar and harp in his days but amidst others, he plays skillfully and that was what brought him a referencing in the palace. 

If you want to be in the aura of a movement and you don’t want to be a victim of stagnancy, then, you need to get skills in whatever you are doing. 

Skills sell you faster in the labour market. People still look for skillful people amidst every other pre-requisite.  

Not Risk Taker: Life is all about risk was what I was taught in my Insurance class in 2002 as a fresher in Lagos State Polytechnic, Isolo by my amiable Insurance Lecturer. The more the risk you can take the better but there are calculated risks. 

The ten stages of wining N10million on the hot seat of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire is so exciting that when you get to some stages and you are no longer certain of your answers, you will be faced with what they call risk. 

Every risk taker is reality beneficiaries. You cannot benefit from the risk you are not willing to take. For you to move forward in whatsoever you do, you must be willing to take risk, more risk and most especially calculated risk. 

Never stay at your comfort zone is what I tell people, as a matter of fact, your comfort zone is your greatest enemy. If we stay here we die, if we move we die, so why don’t we decide to move and die than to stay here and die was the conclusion of the two lepers whose footsteps became like that of a might host which displaced the Syrians from their camp settlement.” Life is only meant for the risk takers”.

No Connection: Connection is one of the souls of business; no one can do it in isolation. Learn to be connected. Many people make friends but a few people stay connected. There is someone that when you are connected with him or her will launch your business or company to the next level of life. 

You need to ensure your business is solving a problem to an extent that people NEED you and not just WANT you. It is good when you are NEEDED and not WANTED. Connecting with people can costly but rewarding than its cost. Stay connected at all times because you will need connection boss. 

No Vision: Vision is to know where you are going. Hence you don’t have a clue of where you are going is as good as you going back to where you started from. One of the Yoruba adages says “if you don’t know where you are going, you should know where you are coming from”. 

You will be comfortable with where you are now if you don’t know where you are going. If you know where you are going and realize where you are now, you will know your distance to where you are and will inform you as regards your current state. 

Anywhere can be a place for someone with no vision; anywhere cannot be a place for someone with vision. 

Tobiah & Sanballat: I had taken my time to teach on the Ministry of Sanballat and Tobiah for one month in our church last two years and it was awesome to realize their ministry. Everyone has his own Sanballat&Tobiah who might be known or unknown to you as a person. 

They will never work against you starting something worthy but are waiting ahead to ensure that pause your progress in life. You need to identify your Sanballat and Tobiah so as for you to be able to deal with them in Nehemiah’s way.
