LEADERS and LEADERSHIP

PREAMBLE: A Leader with NO SENSE OF DESTINY and NO SELF DISCOVERY is a THREAT TO a generation and an entire nation..-the Builder
LEADERSHIP WITH NO VISION IS A MORIBUND..
                 Everything seems to be losing its ESSENCE. There is a always a "why" for something. But now, no one cares to know the 'why'. "Whatever happens has happened,let us just take it as it is", they say. We were used to having a why for a particular leader. But no more now,whoever AVAILS HIMSELF OR HERSELF, FIT OR UNFIT, WE JUST ACCEPT.
      I define a leader as ONE WHO INFORMS, MOTIVATES, LEADS And SHOWS followers WHAT IS IN THEM and WHAT THEY CAN DO if they would follow him. A leader is not just a person who has authority to control or lead but also HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN HIS FOLLOWERS..
UNDOUBTEDLY, people say a leader is born to solve a problem. YES! IT IS TRUE. BUT every man alive today and on planet earth, is born to solve a problem and have DOMINION in a particular field of LIFE. NO MAN WAS BORN AS A RESULT OF EXPERIMENTATIONS( including YOU).And this is why you can't experiment with your LIFE, your PURPOSE is straightforward and its staring you in your eyes.  God has set a purpose for all before creation begun. So therefore we are all BORN LEADERS, it is just a matter of DISCOVERING IT. Whatever every human being carries within, is giving by God and needed by the entire human race in order to make life much better.
                            EVERYONE IS A LEADER (Genesis 1:26)
"And God said, let us make MAN in our image, after our likeness: And let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and of the fowl of the air, and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the face of the earth".. Emphasis on " Dominion "..

The word "MAN" in the above sentence when translated in the Hebrew text means, SPECIES. Hence, its not a singular word but plural referring to the entire human species. Every man is created by God to have Dominion over resources and and some responsibilities. This Dominion spirit is what actually man lost as we lost the KINGDOM OF GOD through SIN. SO WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU?
✔There must never be a leader who does not know God and who does not believe in the works of JESUS CHRIST the Savior..
So therefore, a MAN who knows God, believes in JESUS CHRIST and has FINALLY DISCOVERED HIS PURPOSE and POTENTIAL, is the RIGHT person to be a LEADER..

THE DEFINITION by Abraham Lincoln for democracy is what I give for Leadership: power of the people by the people and for the people. Thus, leadership is about empowerment. Being empowered by the mass of followers to empower the followers in return (represent them and protect their interest). The dictionary defines leadership as THE CAPACITY TO LEAD. There can be many capacities, but THE ONLY CAPACITY REQUIRED FOR GENUINE AND EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IS self discovery..-the Builder

IS IT ALWAYS MONEY??

..........IS IT ALWAYS MONEY........???.......

Looking back to the ancient of days, nothing really corrupted more than a denari.
Leaders squabbled and messed up innocent lives, for the love of a denari.
Religious leaders overturned the message, focusing on the rich ignoring the poor for the love of a denari.
Potentials and abilities were traded, for the love of a denari.
........ And then now: it becomes worse..
I see the youth crying out loud on the streets; money,money, money..
It seems the life of everyone alive in the 21st century is centered on money.
I go to school for money, they sell poison for money..
THE LEADERS EXCHANGE THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION FOR MONEY..
You probably don't mind blackmailing your beloved mum for money.
Some people sell their PRICELESS SOUL for money, just as some sell their future for money(bribery)
Then comes this conclusion, If I'm alive for money and there are many ways of making it, why then delay? it's ALL ABOUT MONEY......... But, SHOULD IT BE SO?

I say, "THE FUTURE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED"..
WE HAVE LOST THE ESSENCE OF LIFE..
IT STARTED FROM THE CRADLE, AND NOW it's ON TOP
ONLY ONE MAN CAN CHANGE THIS..YES! ONE MAN
HE THAT KNOWS THE TRUE PURPOSE OF LIFE
AND SETS HIMSELF ASIDE TO BE DIFFERENT.
HE THAT LIVES IN THE WORLD, YET NOT FOR THE WORLD.
HE THAT CHALLENGES THE STATUS-QUO and LIVES FOR A REASON OTHER THAN MONEY....
The world is in your hands now, are you that one man?
PROVE IT THEN......

YOU AND YOUR DREAM...

**the builders message**    Special article for all......
Preamble: Your dream is your VISION, your VISION is your life signature THAT PROVES YOUR EXISTENCE..-the builder

You are not him or her, neither are you me nor them. You are You, made in the image and after the likeness of God Almighty.
You are destined to attain higher heights if only you believe and take actions. You are with a UNIQUE POTENTIAL and special gift meant for you ALONE.
Your dream is like a vision, a vision that puts you on a mission. A mission that proves indeed, you are the salt of the earth. A mission to release your potential and maximize it to the fullest.
A mission to serve humanity and be who you are born to be.
You don't have to compromise and follow the status-quo.
Your dream is your goal for life which has a DEADLINE.
Your dream is your LIFE SIGNATURE which PROVES YOUR EXISTENCE.
Your dream is what burdens you and makes you sleepless, because:
>>Your dream requires you to be determined and to persevere in all circumstances.
>>Your dream requires you to nature it and solve problems around you.
>>Your dream requires you to stay humble and be obedient.
Your dream makes you a BUILDER, if only you live it based on biblical principles:
•You build men with your dream
•You build a family with your dream
•You build a nation with your dream
•You build an entire generation with your dream
All what you need to do is to:
√ Sit up and be focused in life
√ Make plans and schedule your priorities
√ Believe and trust God
√ Take actions and embrace every opportunity
So always ask yourself, "what am I doing today that will improve my life tomorrow?" And always remember that,"Knowing is not enough, you must apply".
You either remain humble, determined and persevere to live your dream to the fullest by defying all the odds OR you choose to fall a victim of circumstance.
It's your life ; it's your free will. CHOOSE WISELY!!!

What you need to know today

We came, we observed and realized indeed, 'the world SUFFERS not cos of the evil of wicked people but cos of the silence and inactions of the Good souls'... Its not worth it to give up on who you are simply because no ONE does what you do.. YOU  must always do you, cos the world needs what you got.. The fact that its not known now does not mean IT WOULD NOT BE REALIZED... - the Builder
