"But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, 'Indeed, I said to myself, He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy'." 2 Kings 5:11 Naaman had earned the love and respect of his king. Yet for all his strength and might, Naaman suffered from the dreaded disease of leprosy. When his king learned of a Hebrew prophet named Elisha who might be able to help, he sent Naaman off with great expectations. But rather than an impressive meeting with the prophet, Naaman received instructions by a messenger to wash seven times in the Jordan River. This enraged Naaman and he angrily refused to follow the prescription. He struggled with pride, faulty expectations, and inflexibility-much like many leaders today. Yet as a strong leader, Naaman had surrounded himself with individuals who could speak up and disagree with him, and his inner circle provided good coun...

Praying as we wake up is a great way to start the day! It helps to remind us of the real reason we are alive, and connects us with the living God. Our Lord Jesus took early morning prayer very seriously - it's recorded in the Gospels that he arose before daybreak and went to be on His own to pray. The morning is the perfect time to pray. It gets you focused on God and helps you meditate on those you love and yourself, as well. You can have such wonderful encounters with God when you approach His throne in the morning. I encourage you to start praying when you wake up, if you aren't already doing so. When you wake with God you take Him with you too. Have a blessed day

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Ephesians 6:10-11 Like any good leader, Paul issues a warning at the end of his letter about the tough times his people will face. They are up against Satan himself, an enemy who will do everything to stop their progress. Instead of moping about the situation, however, Paul lays out a specific plan for his Ephesian friends. They are not to approach this fight in their own strength, but remember that only God can defeat the enemy. Paul then instructs his readers to put on the whole armor of God, in order to stand and prevail. Serving as an officer under God, Paul issues the orders for the troops. When leaders practice the Law of Intuition, they provide their people with: 1.A strategy to win. 2.Knowledge of the opposition. 3.The resources they need. 4.A plan for how to use them. 5.Detailed...

Subject: Leadership Promises - Seek God When Setting Goals May 25   Seek God When Setting Goals "Everyone tries to get help from the leader, but only God will give us justice." Proverbs 29:26 (The Message) The number of people today who lack a strong sense of purpose is astounding. Pulitzer-winning writer Katherine Anne Porter observed: "I am appalled at the aimlessness of most people's lives. Fifty percent don't pay any attention to where they are going; forty percent are undecided and will go in any direction. Only ten percent know what they want, and even all of them don't go toward it." Goals give you something concrete to focus on, and focus has a positive impact on your actions. Goals help us focus our attention on our purpose and make it our dominant aspiration. And as philosopher-poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going." Use the following guidelines to keep your goals on targe...

Economic growth is the increase in the market value of the goods and services produced by an economy over time. It is conventionally measured as the percent rate of increase inreal gross domestic product, or real GDP. Growth is usually calculated in real terms to eliminate the distorting effect of inflation on the price of goods produced. In economics, "economic growth" or "economic growth theory" typically refers to growth of potential output, i.e., production at " full employment". As an area of study,economic growth is generally distinguished from development economics. The former is primarily the study of how countries can advance their economies. The latter is the study of the economic aspects of the development process in low-income countries. Since economic growth is measured as the annual percent change of gross domestic product (GDP), it has all the advantages and drawbacks of that measure. For example, GDP only measures the market economy, w...

“By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned”. Heb 11:29 Every door bows to faith. Wherever faith turns doors are bound to open. Faith opened the door through the Red Sea. Faith does what no natural man can try. The Red Sea opened to faith put to work by God’s people. Any journey embarked upon by faith always end as a walk over. The walk of faith is walk of triumph. At the instance and advancement of faith the walls of Jericho fell. “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days” Heb 11:30 When faith stands up everything bows. When faith goes up every other thing goes down. Nothing remains standing when faith stands. Your FAITH shall work for you more than before in JESUS' name! Have a BLESSED day!

Economic development is the sustained, concerted actions of policy makers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a specific area. Economic development can also be referred to as the quantitative and qualitative changes in the economy. Such actions can involve multiple areas including development of human capital, critical infrastructure, regional competitiveness, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, health, safety, literacy, and other initiatives. Economic development differs from economic growth. Whereas economic development is a policy intervention endeavor with aims of economic and social well-being of people, economic growth is a phenomenon of market productivity and rise in GDP. Consequently, as economist Amartya Senpoints out: “economic growth is one aspect of the process of economic development.

Human capital is the stock of competencies, knowledge, habits, social and personality attributes, including creativity, cognitive abilities, embodied in the ability to perform labor so as to produce economic value. It is an aggregate economic view of the human being acting within economies, which is an attempt to capture the social, biological, cultural and psychological complexity as they interact in explicit and/or economic transactions.

"Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret-it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth." Psalm 37:3-9 Do you ever feel like you need a therapist? If so, then Psalm 37 is for you. David writes as a counselor, providing wise steps to take as you face crises and decisions. Whenever you feel the pressure of competition or the compulsion to perform, pause and remember the assurances in this passage. David brings eternal pers...

A woman baked chapatti (roti) for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” This went on, day after day. Every day, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and uttered the words:“The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him. “I shall get rid of this hunchback,” she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him! As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immedi...

Fear is the uneasy feeling that we are inadequate. It is an alarm that goes off when we feel threatened.It keeps people from the attainment of their goals. I’m not talking about normal, natural fears—such as the fear of falling or the fear of walking onto a busy highway. I’m talking about a gripping, paralyzing fear that is truly a spirit of fear. Paul wrote to Timothy, “God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline” ( 2 Tim. 1:7). Let me give you an example of this type of fear. Imagine a person who believes strongly that the Lord desires him to take a new job. He starts with confidence and enthusiasm. Soon he realizes that has much to learn about how to succeed in this new role. The whole project begins to seem insurmountable and overwhelming. He begins to take to heart the criticism of others. He feels as if he is a failure and will never succeed at this new position. He says, “I don’t have what it takes. I’m scared of taking any more risks.” Th...

"When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look,God called to him from the midst of the bush."Exodus 3:4 Brokenness involves removing inappropriate pride and self-reliance and building healthy God-reliance. God tamed Moses’ self-reliance and pride in the desert, but to create trust He had to break the man’s fears. Moses dealt with different kinds of fear in his encounter with God: 1. Fears concerning himself. God responded by assuring Moses of his purpose. 2. Fears concerning God. God responded by overwhelming Moses with His presence. 3. Fears concerning others. God responded by demonstrating His power and commitment. 4. Fears concerning his ability. God responded by providing him with a partner, his brother, Aaron. With his willfulness broken, his fears overcome, and his purpose affirmed, Moses finally placed himself in the hands of God. Life is filled with trade-offs. Moses sacrificed his status and material possessions to prepare for his life purpose. And then to fu...
