Energy Flows Where Attention Goes

I want to start this reading by sharing a very personal story with you. One of the enriching relationships that I have in my life is with my daughter – Sophia Adabale. As a matter of fact, we co-authored my 4 th book together titled – Diamond Believer for Teens.

I have discovered that the pressures of life are inevitable by stress is optional. So, what is the difference between stress and pressure. Pressure is what happens on the outside due to external factor e.g. people’s expectation, reality of your situations and the fact of your circumstance based on your 5 senses – however, stress is an internal conflict as a result of the gap between what your 5 senses present to you and what your inner conviction expect to be your reality. Also, stress is a decision. I’m reminded of a saying by that “Indecision is also a decision; you are just letting someone else make that decision for you”.

I want you to know that God as invested a lot in you and he’s looking at getting return on his investment. The only way to give him the return on his investment is to be faithful with what he has given you. I call this ‘consistently faithful stewardship’. That is what the bible passage in Matthew 25:14-30 is all about. One of my great teacher and former boss, Pastor Michael Olawore of blessed memory told me of a story about a man who worked for a privately owned construction company: H  e had been with his boss for a while, managed several projects and made a lot of money. He is known to do his work with excellence and building house for his boss to a high quality. After a while, his boss was advancing in age, his boss bought thought about how to reward him and release him. So, his boss called him and told him that his next building project will be the final one for the boss and the boss will release him. So, he was given all the money required to build a top notch high quality house Guess what the servant did, he compromised on the quality of the building, he kept some money back and used inferior materials to build the house because he thought, this is his only chance to make money off his boss When the work was completed, he gave the key to the completed house to his boss. The boss thanked him for his years of service and handed the key of the house back to the servant, that the house was for the servant, that was why he (the boss) requested that it must be the best quality house The servant thought to himself, I should have just been faithful with what I was given because it does come back and hurt you if you are not faithful Our faithfulness on the current level qualifies us for abundance in the next. Therefore, in order for us to have a happy new year indeed, we need to be faithful with the treasures God has given us. To do this, you need to have 3 mind sets : 1. Recognise that you don’t own anything, they are all a loan 2. There is nothing at your disposal that is an end in itself, it’s a means to an end 3. Every treasure you have is for an assignment So how do we make the most of our treasures, by being intentional in the we : 1. Make it 2. Manage it 3. Multiply it Listen to more on this podcast

There are three ways of using time; you either waste it, spend it or invest it.

Can I ask you a question? Why does a boat sink? Does a boat sink because the boat is in water or does a boat sink because water gets into the boat? Of course, the boat sinks because water gets into the boat.
