Be Careful

It's been a week since we decided on this blog....I hope we reach out to someone somewhere on being and getting ENDORSED...It has been a week filled with activities... and the funny thing is that, time....irreplaceable time has been spent...how did you spend your last week...what did you do with the time God gave to you....where did you spend this time...
The question that strikes me as most important is WHAT DECISIONS DID YOU MAKE...i mean life decisions...we may not know it but even little decisions such as...what to wear, eat,means of transportation to use, who to speak to, what to say...can determine what our futures will be like...time and time again our little decisions affect us for life....

I have a friend...smart, intelligent, beautiful, always ready to serve God... Sometime in the early weeks of January,2006...she went to God's house to pray...on her way back...she had to take a public bus... she alighted from the bus at the stop nearest to her house....therafter she decided to walk the rest of the journey home... she also took a decision to cross after watching out that it was safe to cross over...next moment she was 3/4 way off the street...it was BANG... she had been hit by a motorcycycle(okada)...coming from the wrong direction... she spent the better half of the year in hospital..from one surgery to the other...she has been on cruthches since her discharge...till this moment she has not set her foot in that same house of God where she went to pray...
I don't know what went wrong or where she made the wrong choice...but I know God is able to make things right

Will your decision today...help you win a presidential election in future or make you a preachers wife, will people you be able to testify about your past and all the good therein or you just want it covered up because its such a mess...
Imagine if there will be a day when our pasts will be played on a big screen for the whole world to see!!! i can just imagine what you're thinking...of course all your secret deeds too...
God help us to repent and start building afresh for a good past....Have a nice weekend.

So We Are Endorsed....What Next?

I believe the saying that "God only directs a moving ship"......Indeed God has empowered us to go get that thing we so desire...yet some of us still chicken out of the race shamefully........ I'm a strong advocate of leadership tennets....I believe it instrumental for taking our place in the world.......I've experienced for the umpteenth time astronomical changes brougtht about by exceptional leadership.....the ability to be inflenced and influence others to achieve some worthy purpose..... It's really an herculean task for anyone to achieve greatness without some measure of leadership exhibited.

I know there are loads of books on leadership and I really enjoy reading these books......... however, i'll like to suggest something that's been of immense benefit to me..... FILMS.....i've seen some great films on leadership and strongly believe in the messages projected. You'd be surprised how much of leadership you can learn from these films.....May I just suggest that you see the following films......

1. The Patriot ... Mel Gibson
2. Men of Honour ...... Cuba Gooding
3. Brave Heart ....... Mel Gibson
4. Rules of Engagement ...... Samuel L. Jackson
5. Finding Forrester ..... Sean Connery
6. Caoch Carter ..... Samuel L. Jackson
7. Anna and the King ...... Jodie Foster,Chow Yun-Fat
8. Shawshank Redemption ...... Tim Robbins

I'll fill you on other films that will be worthy of your time.....

My thots

Early this morning...a friend complained about her present job....like many of us complain about our present status/position in life....she wants a change...just like we all do...she wants God to do something extraordinary concerning this job change... i have noticed that she has taken steps in the right direction...she is not grumbling on her current job but still doing her quota of work...at the same time ... she is looking out for better opportunities... the whole process is stressfull... but nothing good comes easy..... in all this i appreciated one statement she made... it made me think and spurred me to post this message...

A simple statement...but how easy is it for us to apply to our own lives... " I WANT A NEW JOB BUT I WANT GOD TO HAVE A HAND IN IT" ... aaaahhh not again must God be in everything....so we think atimes...but truth is if u want to be great in life...you must recognize and acknowledge that there is a higher authority... WHO IS YOUR HIGHER AUTHORITY...government....parents...friends...boyfriend/girlfriend...boss...teacher...think about it.

To my friend and all of us i say...Trust in God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding...in all your ways(schooling, finances, marriage, work, health, emotions, feeding....whatever...fill in the gaps...) acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path...

A fresh start

A very busy day at work in Naija...the sun is out and hot...but work must go on....i called my friend to suggest a name...we tried different names and ended up with ENDORSED... WHY ENDORSED...i believe there is a reason...this blog is a place where our minds are expressed...I would say the concept behind "endorsed" is that God has endorsed/given us the go ahead to achieve whatever we wanna achieve....we should just go ahead in that understanding and achieve so much for him..... Remember Nike sign?...dats the sign for endorsed........feel free to comment, criticise, contribute...welcome to a fresh start...
Start living ENDORSED FOR GREATNESS....Ti
