By God’s Grace You Can Overcome

Mon, 1 Feb 2021

‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’ Romans 8:31

Some of the world’s greatest people faced the world’s greatest challenges, but they overcame them. Novelist Sir Walter Scott was physically disabled. John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim’s Progress, was imprisoned. Abraham Lincoln was raised in abject poverty. Statesman Benjamin Disraeli was harassed by harsh and bitter prejudice. Franklin Roosevelt was struck down with paralysis. Educator Booker T. Washington, abolitionist Harriet Tubman, singer Marian Anderson and agricultural inventor George Washington Carver were subjected to continual racial discrimination. Opera singer Enrico Caruso was the first child to survive in a poor Italian family of eighteen. The incomparable violinist, Itzhak Perlman, was born to parents who survived a Nazi concentration camp and he was paralysed from the waist down at age four. Albert Einstein was called a slow learner, and written off as unable to be educated.

Helen Keller was born blind and deaf, yet she graduated college with highest honours and impacted the world. Margaret Thatcher, the UK’s first woman Prime Minister, lived upstairs over her father’s grocery shop. For a while her childhood home had no running water and no indoor plumbing. Golda Meier, Israel’s first and only woman Prime Minister, was a divorced grandmother from Milwaukee.

What do these people teach us? That success doesn’t depend on our circumstances, but on overcoming our circumstances! And with God on our side we can do it! Paul, one of the world’s great overcomers wrote, ‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’

Insecurity In Leadership

Sun, 31 Jan 2021

‘Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others.’ Philippians 2:3

Here’s the dilemma of an insecure leader: if others excel in doing a job, they fear it will make them look bad. But they also fear that if they do the job poorly, they will still look bad. So they try to do everything themselves. As a result, they fail to succeed or their success is limited. Paul addresses it this way: ‘Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.’ (Philippians 2:3–4 NLT)

Secure leaders are able to believe in others because they believe in themselves. They aren’t arrogant; they know their own strengths and weaknesses and respect themselves. When their people perform well they don’t feel threatened. They go out of their way to bring the best people together, then build them up so that they will perform at the highest level. When a secure leader’s team succeeds, it brings them great joy. They see that as the highest compliment they can receive for their leadership ability. So what should you do about overcoming insecurity?

(1) Know yourself. If you’re not naturally self-aware, ask someone you trust to name your three greatest strengths and weaknesses. Don’t defend yourself when you hear their answers. Gather the information and then reflect on it.

(2) Get help. You’re worth investing in! As you begin to overcome insecurity you will rise to a new level of blessing and achievement

Keep Improving

Sat, 30 Jan 2021

‘From everyone who has been given much, much more will be demanded.’ Luke 12:48

Author H. Jackson Brown Jr quipped, ‘Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.’ If you know you have talent and you’ve seen a lot of motion but little concrete results, you may lack self-discipline. Look at last week’s schedule. How much of your time did you devote to regular, disciplined activities? Did you do anything to grow and improve yourself? If you have been putting these things off and telling yourself that you’ll do them later, you need to work on your self-discipline. A nursery in Canada displays this sign on its wall: ‘The best time to plant a tree is twenty-five years ago… The second-best time is today.’

So starting today—discipline yourself. Why? Because:

(1) There’s a price to pay to reach the next level. American playwright Sidney Howard remarked: ‘One half of knowing what you want, is knowing what you must give up before you get it.’

(2) Be willing to start with small things. At first your gains will be small, but they will grow. The difference between the gold medal winner and the other contestants, is often just hundredths of a second.

(3) Get into the right environment. Since improvement always requires some degree of risk and failure, pick a place where growth and experimentation are encouraged.

(4) Believe that you can always do it better. Anything you’ve done in a particular way for a given amount of time, can always be done better. So with God’s help, you can keep improving.

Christianity Etc › What's Your Vision? by Btruth(op): 6:38am On Jan 29, 2021
What’s Your Vision?

Fri, 29 Jan 2021

‘According to the vision that I saw.’ Ezekiel 8:4

When God gives you a vision it will change your life. John Sculley, former president of PepsiCo and CEO of Apple computers said, ‘The future belongs to those who see the possibilities before they become obvious.’

The Bible tells us God ‘calls those things which do not exist as though they did.’ (Romans 4:17 NKJV) Vision paints the target, lights a fire within you, and draws you forward. If what you’re pursuing in life doesn’t come from a burning desire within you—from the very depths of who you are and what you believe—you will not be able to accomplish it. Why is that? Because along the way you will have to overcome obstacles, opposition, roadblocks, and resistance.

Esther’s vision meant putting her life on the line to save the Jewish people from annihilation. She said, ‘If I perish, I perish.’ (Esther 4:16 KJV) Did she perish? No, but she had to be willing to. Are you? To fulfil your vision you must do two things:

(1) Measure yourself. If you’ve previously thought about your life’s vision and articulated it clearly, measure how well you are carrying it out. Talk to those you trust and ask them to tell you what they think your vision is. And if they can articulate it, then you are probably living it.

(2) Write it down. ‘Write the vision and make it plain… that he may run who reads it.’ (Habakkuk 2:2 NKJV) Writing clarifies your thinking. Once your vision is in writing, it becomes the road map to your destination. Consult it often, and pursue it with all that lies within you. If you do, chances are you will live to see it fulfilled.

Christianity Etc › Think Realistically (2) by Btruth(op): 5:35am On Jan 28, 2021
Think Realistically (2)

Thu, 28 Jan 2021

‘A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.’ Proverbs 22:3

Here are three things realistic thinking will do for you:

(1) It will give you a sense of security. When you have thought through the worst that can happen and developed contingency plans to meet it, you become more confident and secure. It’s reassuring to know that you are unlikely to be surprised. Disappointment is the difference between expectations and reality. Thinking realistically minimises the difference between the two.

(2) It will give you credibility. Leaders who are continually surprised by the unexpected soon lose credibility in the eyes of their followers. On the other hand, leaders who think realistically and plan accordingly position themselves to win. That gives their followers confidence in them. So before you invite anyone else to be part of your vision or your project, ask yourself:

(a) Is it possible?

(b) Have I identified and explained the pros and cons of achieving it?

(c) Do I have a solid foundation to build on?

Thomas Edison observed, ‘The value of a good idea is in using it.’

(3) It will help you to make an idea useable by taking away the ‘wish factor’. Most ideas and efforts don’t accomplish their intended results because they rely too much on what we wish, rather than what is. You can’t build a house in mid-air; it needs a solid foundation. Ideas and plans are the same. They need something concrete on which to build, and thinking realistically provides that solid foundation. Solomon put it this way: ‘A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.’ So the word for today is—think realistically.

Think Realistically (1)

Wed, 27 Jan 2021

‘Don’t begin until you count the cost.’ Luke 14:28

Reality is the difference between what you wish for—and what is. If you’re a naturally optimistic person you may find it difficult to think realistically. Indeed, you may think it’s the opposite of having faith. No, faith doesn’t deny the problem, it connects you with God through whose strength you can overcome. Here are two things that thinking realistically will do for you:

(1) Minimise unnecessary risks. All actions have consequences. Thinking realistically will help you determine what those consequences could be. This is particularly important when your actions affect others. The old motto, ‘Expect the best but plan for the worst’, has merit. By thinking that way you minimise unnecessary risks. It gives you a goal, with a plan to reach it. Here’s the good news: you need a sense of hope in order to succeed. Here’s the bad news: hope is not a strategy.

(2) Show you what needs to be changed. People who rely solely on hope for their success, rarely make change a high priority. If you only have hope, you imply that success is out of your hands. It’s a matter of luck and chance—so why bother changing. There’s nothing like reality staring you in the face, to help you see what needs to be changed. Change alone doesn’t bring growth, but you cannot have growth without change. Following Christ is the most blessed and joyful life you can live, but there’s a price to be paid for it. And Jesus was realistic about it: ‘If you do not carry your own cross and follow Me, you cannot be My disciple… Don’t begin until you count the cost.’ (Luke 14:27–28 NLT)

Politics › Tribute To Late Fatai Aborode ! by Btruth(op):
*Tribute to Late Fatai Aborodo PhD., by his son. He was murdered on his way from his 300 acres farm at Igangan by Fulani herdsmen...his P.A. was with him and escaped with injuries.*

( *Only those who wear the shoes knows where it pinches)*

Dad, knowing I’ll never see you again is a hard pill to swallow. You were kind and caring, always sacrificing and giving your best to everything and everyone. I can’t believe I’m writing about you in past tense and that you won’t be able to read this and give me feedback.

I remember one of our last conversations, I told you I had lost every hope in Nigeria and how I don’t see it becoming better in another 50-100 years, I told you I don’t see Nigeria as home anymore, and I said “Home is where I am safe!”, you disagreed, you said “home is where you’re from, Nigeria is your home!”. You went on to tell me to be optimistic, you mentioned that you benefited from Nigeria in the past, the free and quality education you got in your formative years was one of those things that made you feel indebted to the country. You felt you needed to give back to the country, you had these glowing, utopia image of Nigeria in your mind.

Well dad, you were wrong! I wish death was like prison, where we get visitation at least once a month, so I can tell you just how wrong you were. Nigeria is not home, Nigeria couldn’t keep you safe, Nigeria cut your life short, Nigeria ruined your dreams and didn’t let you reap the fruit of your labour! Nigeria wouldn’t find your killers; Nigeria is NOT home!

I remember bringing my partner to see you last year, how you teased that I needed to catch up because you got married at 26 and I was just about to marry at 28, I remember telling you I’d started my PhD last year and telling you that you also needed to catch up, because you got yours at 49 and I’ll probably get mine at 32. You were so happy, you said it was the happiest day of your life. You called me Dr Boro since then, you told me how proud you were of me, of my siblings and your friends have told us how boisterous you sound when you talk about us.

At the early stages of the pandemic, we saw how much you’d evolved. You initiated a weekly group video call, you made sure you were committed to it, and days that you missed or we missed you were eager to reschedule, we saw a totally different side of you, we saw how easy it was for you to tell us you loved us (an African dad’s biggest nightmare I guess?), we told you we loved you too, we meant it, we know you meant it too, and we’ll always cherish those moments. We’ll hold on to those good memories, thankfully Islamiyyah recorded some of these group calls, we often watch these videos and appreciate your sense of humour, your genuine laughter and smiles and the pride in how you look at us.

It’s sad and painful that you’re no more, I’ve found myself talking to imaginary you when I’m alone. No, I’m not running mad, I just strongly believe you can hear me and I want to tell you all I didn’t say enough or wouldn’t be able to say again. I have skimmed through your social media pages, I have heard and read the many good things people have said about you, some I know, many I don’t know. You lived a good life, Dad. Short, but a really good life. So, I’ll take solace in that, I’ll cry no more, you’re to be celebrated, we’ll keep up your legacy, we’ll be kind to people, we’ll support people and we’ll be improved versions of you!

Your biggest achievement in life was us; not the cars, not the properties, not the lands. It’s the education and platform for a better life that you gave us. The ultimate and financial sacrifice to study in a developed society with immeasurable value. We remember how you used to say you didn’t do all of these so we could come back and take care of you, but so that we can be useful to our community. Your sacrifice has not been in vain and we’ll continue to make you proud.

Thank you for being an amazing dad, thank you for being an awesome husband and above all, thank you for being an incredible human being. We’ll pray for you every day, you deserve it. We’ll continue the weekly group calls; we’ll be committed to it. I’ll write you yearly, I’ll keep you up to date about everything we’ve achieved since you left and we know you’ll be happy to read them. Logically you shouldn’t be able to read this, but in some way, I hope you can, this is not just coming from me, this is how me, mum, Oluwadamilare, Islamiyyah, Abdul-Matin and Abdul-Fawaz feel about you. We love you, Alhaji, Doctor, Abdul-Fatai Adigun Ademola Omowunmi Aborode. We love you Daddy, and you’ll never be forgotten!

Lean On God’s Presence And His People

Tue, 26 Jan 2021

‘He is not far from each one of us.’ Acts 17:27

The Bible says God ‘is not far from each one of us’! God does not play favourites. From the masses on the city streets to the isolated villagers in valleys and jungles, all people can enjoy God’s presence. But many don’t. They plod through life as if there were no God to love them. As if their only strength was their own. As if the only solution comes from within, not above. They live godless lives. But you don’t have to do that. You can:

(1) Lean on God’s presence. ‘For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”’ (Hebrews 13:5 NKJV)

(2) Lean on God’s people. ‘For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.’ (Matthew 18:20 NKJV) When Moses and the Israelites battled the Amalekites, God commissioned Joshua to lead the fight in the valley below while Moses ascended the hill to pray. But he did not go alone. He took his two lieutenants, Aaron and Hur. While Joshua led the physical combat, Moses engaged in a spiritual fight. Aaron and Hur stood on either side of their leader to hold up his arms in the battle of prayer. The Israelites prevailed because Moses prayed, and Moses prevailed because he had others to pray with him. Just as an army calls in air support, you can call in prayer support.

Jesus said, ‘If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven.’ (Matthew 18:19 NKJV) So lean on God’s presence and His people.

Personal Growth (2)

Mon, 25 Jan 2021

‘The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ Proverbs 2:6

Personal growth involves four things:

(1) Environment. You must place yourself in a setting that fosters growth. Certain fish grow according to the size of their surroundings. If you keep them in a small tank they stay small, but when you release them into the ocean they grow to their intended size. The same principle applies to you. You must spend your time with the right crowd, in the right place, doing the right things, in order to grow.

(2) Strength. Leadership expert Peter Drucker said: ‘The great mystery isn’t that people do things badly, but that they occasionally do a few things well. The only thing that’s universal is incompetence. Strength is always specific!’ When you try to be good at everything, you end up being good at nothing. God gave you specific strengths—identify them and use them.

(3) Change. Most of us want things to get better without having to change anything. The Bible says, ‘Let us… be taken forward to maturity.’ (Hebrews 6:1 NIV) To grow, you must commit yourself to not only accepting change, but to pursuing it.

(4) Enjoyment. Most grandmasters of chess learn and relearn their moves over a period of fifteen years before winning their first world title. That’s almost one-fifth of their lives! If you’re going to spend that much time doing something, you’d better enjoy it! If the destination appeals to you but you’re not enjoying the journey, you’d be wise to seek God’s guidance and make sure you’re heading in the right direction. If you’re on the wrong train, don’t keep going—get off at the next station!
