*THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUABLE RELATIONSHIPS*

All success happens in the context of relationships. All problems are solved by relationships. The world basically runs on relationships in various forms with different names. Treaties, friendships, partnerships, and marriages are all relationships that define our individual and collective success.

No man is an island. It’s inherent in us as human beings to want to connect. It’s how we are designed and the major reason our species has survived until now. Every human being seeks to connect and collaborate regardless of their temperament or personality.

We are always looking to have someone with whom we can relate and share our thoughts, time, talents and experiences.

Even though it’s natural for us to want to connect with other people and form relationships, relationships don’t just happen. They require conscious, deliberate effort to form, nurture and sustain. Usually, you get as much as you put in when it comes to relationships.

Yes, your personality and temperament may have a huge effect on the way and ease with which you form relationships. Truly, it’s much easier for some people to get along with others, even those with whom they have little or nothing in common.

Yet, the ability to form, nurture and sustain relationships is a skill every one of us must learn in order to succeed and live a fulfilled life because everything happens in the context of relationships.

Why relationships are so important
To get to the top of your career, succeed as a business person or display your God-given talents to the fullest, you need relationships to make these things happen. To give maximum expression to the infinite potential and power you possess, you need relationships―and not just relationships, the right relationships.

You need people to support you, encourage you, fund you, push you, guide you, train you, recommend you, love you, equip you and help you in several other ways as you journey towards your biggest dreams and deepest desires.

In the end, what determines whether or not you attain your dreams and desires is the quality of your relationships.

Valuable relationships are those relationships that take you to the right places at the right time. They help you get what you need to achieve your biggest dreams and deepest desires. They are relationships that help you become better in every sense of the word.

The surefire way to form and sustain valuable relationships
And this brings us to the question of how to form the right relationships—valuable relationships. You can only form valuable relationships by genuinely caring about people. There are no two ways about it; it’s either this or nothing.

The only way you can form and nurture valuable relationships with other people is seeking the best for them, and doing so without the mindset of quid pro quo, that is, that they must give you something in return. That’s not all.

The only way you can form and nurture valuable relationships with other people is seeking the best for them, and doing so without the mindset of quid pro quo, that is, that they must give you something in return.
When you genuinely care about someone, you seek to add value to them and this is the way to foster and sustain valuable relationships. Value is the lifeblood of any relationship, more so, a valuable relationship. People only want to be in relationships with people who offer them value. It’s common sense.

Relationships are sustained on value. When you offer people value, you become a valuable person to them. All other things being equal, they naturally want to be in a relationship with you as they also seek to reciprocate and add value to you too.

Honourable people are happy to maintain valuable relationships with those who add value to them because they know a valuable relationship is priceless.

To illustrate the importance of valuable relationships, I got the introductory quote of this piece from a WhatsApp status update of my boss whom I started working with based on the recommendation of a very good friend.

My current employment and the inspiration for this piece are products of a valuable relationship.

And to round off this piece is another quote from my amiable boss: “Build valuable relationships before you need them—and not because you need them, even though you will need them, but because you genuinely care.”

The only genuine relationship is to have a good relationship with God. When you do, I am very sure you will enjoy the importance of genuine relationships. *SHALOM*

etc.; (d) has come to be viewed as a high point in our "existence"

18. If I had my choice ... (a) my spouse and I would spend an extended time together on a trip to
some special enjoyable place; (b) we'd do a short trip together-we seem to become bored with
each other if it's just the two of us for too long; (c) we wouldn't go anywhere together-it's not

Thinking Corner:
🔵 Sometimes I start doing an evaluation of my life.

🔵 On one of those times, I came across the story of the driver Michael Shumacher.

🔵 When I studied his resume as an athlete I saw that he was:

🔵 Winner of the Grand Prix in 1991.

🔵 He was 7 times world champion of Formula 1.

🔵 Happiness was in his Being, but on a fateful day his story and his destiny completely changed due to a ski accident ....

🔵 Today, just 44 kilos in weight, struggling to "survive" since December 2013.

🔵 His wife has begun to sell their goods to cover the expenses and thus be able to keep him alive in a room in his house adapted to his needs , where he lies like a vegetable.

🔵 Here comes a question:

🔵 Who is better than who?

🔵 Life can take directions never imagined.

🔵 It's amazing how everything can change in an instant.

🔵 No one is exempt from anything.

🔵 And in no circumstances are these of any use:
Money,
Titles,
Fame,
Success,
Power.

🔵 We are all the same.

🔵 Then why the pride?

🔵 Why the arrogance?

🔵 So Why so much attachment to material goods/wealth?

🔵 All we have is the day to day so that we can live it with passion and happiness, serving God, doing good to our family, friends and neighbors with full of joy and Gratitude.

🔵 We need to stop creating problems, claim insignificant things and always avoid everything that "takes our time and lives".

🔵 Be careful not to lose someone who loves you and accepts you as you are.

🔵 As in the game of chess, in the end both the King and the Pawn are kept in the same box. In the end, we will all meet our end the same way.

🔵 It is worth examining what we have done or not done yet .

🔵 *We are born bringing nothing ...we die without taking anything ! absolutely nothing!*

🔵 And the sad thing is that in the interval between life and death, we fight for what we did not bring and even more for what we will not take ...

🔵 Think about that.
Let's live more, let's love more. Let's always understand others and be more tolerant.

🔴 We must never forget that to be great .................we have to be humble

Happy Sunday

When FRIDAY comes, remember SUNDAY IS COMING. ..
.... "ON Friday"...
Jesus is praying.
Peter is sleeping.
Judas is betraying.
But Sunday is coming'.

ON Friday...
Pilate is struggling.
The council is conspiring. The crowd is vilifying.
They don't even know that Sunday is coming'.

ON Friday...
The disciples are running like sheep without a shepherd.
Mary is crying.
Peter is denying.
But they don't know that Sunday is coming.

ON Friday...
The Romans beat my Jesus.
They robe Him in scarlet. They crown Him with thorns.
But they don't know that Sunday is coming

On Friday...
See Jesus walking to Calvary.
His blood dripping.
His body stumbling.
And his spirit burdened.
But you see, it's only Friday.
Sunday is coming .

On Friday...
The world is winning.
People are sinning.
And evil is grinning.

On Friday...
The soldiers nail my Saviour's hands to the cross.
They nail my Saviour's feet to the cross.
And then they raise him up next to criminals.

On Friday.
But let me tell u something:
Sunday is comin'.

On Friday...
The disciples are questioning.
What has happened to their King.
And the Pharisees are celebrating their scheming has been achieved.
But they don't know: It is only Friday,
Sunday is comin'.

On Friday...
He's hanging on the cross feeling forsaken by His Father.
Left alone and dying.
Can nobody save Him?
Oooh, it's Friday,
But Sunday is coming'.

On Friday...
The earth trembles.
The sky goes dark.
My King yields His spirit.

On Friday...
Hope was lost.
Death had won.
Sin had conquered.
And Satan celebrate - laughing.
But it was only Friday

On Friday...
Jesus was buried.
A soldier stand's guard.
And a rock rolled into place.
But it's Friday, It is only Friday.

Little did they know Sunday was coming'.''

But Sunday came... Oooh that glorious Sunday
The gate of hell broke loose,
The glory of God came down,
The mighty stone rolled away. The King of glory arose,
Ohhh death! where is your sting?
Jesus has conquered!
Gloryyyyyyyyyyyyy

Jesus is alive for ever! Glory

And Now he lives
He is alive in me
He is alive in you
He is alive in us
And he reigns forever more.

*JESUS OR JUJU (JAZZ)?*

Where are all those Nigerian young ministers that went to that mountain in Ghana some years ago and a native doctor washed their eyes? ...

And they came back and started prophesying....

Giving accurate prophecies...

Calling phone, account and vehicle numbers accurately...

Pastors were struggling to host them...

Their diaries were filled up from January to January...

As you are reading this now, many of them have closed down that ministries ..

I know few of them that are in mental homes now...

If you remove the chains on their legs and hands now, you will see them feeding from the dustbins ..

Some of them are still hanging around, but their juju has expired...

Those that used to host them cannot even shake their hands again, because the secrets of their powers have been exposed...

Some of them have died...

Painful enough, they died with charms inside their suits and buried inside their pulpits...

Oh Lord, have mercy on my speeding - to - damnation generation of young preachers who loves glory but hates process...

Few of them are still in town...

But go close to those cathedrals they built those days, nobody comes there again...

Men that used to command thousands no more see 20 people to preach to...

Because juju has failed them...

Those that used to call them prophets are now calling them puppets ...

Those that use to call them daddy are now calling them paddy...

Satan has abandoned them, disgraced them and ran away...

But some of those who stood the pains of process and did not create shortcut out of the burdens of their ministry...

Nobody hosted them then because they were not doing gymnastics on pulpits...

Some of them were not giving accurate prophecies...

People said they were not anointed because women were not passing out fibroids in their services...

They saw demonic mountains...

They saw mami water....

They lacked money...

They lacked members...

But they said: IF WE PERISH WE PERISH...

But today, they have not perished...

Instead, God has started paying them back for their seeds of perseverance and contentment...

Can I beg you to beg that young minister who is preparing to go and join them to sell his soul to Satan, to control crowd and wealth...

Tell him that there is no road in Egypt...

Amalek cannot make you a king...

Tell them to celebrate the rough journey...

Tell them to be happy while preaching to empty seats...

Drinking garri is a passage to eating salad...

Don't throw away your confidence which has great recompense...

If there is any man anywhere controlling crowd without juju...

If there is anybody prophesying without the help of native doctor...

If there is any man genuinely blessed without burying anything in his church...

If God has ever done it for any man...

That same God will do it for us...

We might still not have money to print posters and handbills...

We might still preach to few uncommitted members...

But one thing we know is that...

It will not be long, Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field....

And then, the heathen left about us will confess that our God has done great things for us...

In Jesus Name....

Why not share this to encourage that minister... that it pays to patiently wait on Jesus our Lord and Captain.

*Who is Jesus?*

*In chemistry,*
He turned water to wine.

*In economics,*
He disapproved the law of diminishing return by feeding 5000 men with

*So, Who is He? He is Jesus!*

The Greatest Man in History

Jesus had no servants,
yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree,
yet they called Him Teacher.

Had no medicines,
yet they called Him Healer.

He had no army,
yet kings feared Him.

He won no military battles,
yet He conquered the world.

He committed no crime,
yet they crucified Him.

He was buried in a tomb,
yet He lives today.

I feel honoured to serve such a Leader who loves us.

Tell the world about HIM today!

*The hand that will send this message to everybody shall not labor in vain*

*Happy Midweek*💖
A word for the wise

*WHO KNOWS TOMORROW???*

In 1985, *Dasuki* arrested *Buhari.*
In 2016, *Buhari* arrested *Dasuki.*
In 1995, *Al Mustapha* arrested *Obasanjo* on the order of General Abacha.
In 1999, *Obasanjo* arrested *Al Mustapha* and he was jailed for 8 years.
In 2010, Prof *Osibajo* was answerable to Gov *Fashola* as one of his commissioners.
In 2017, *Fashola* became answerable to Acting President *Osibanjo* as one of his ministers.
Life is like a COIN thrown up in the air. You *can't* really predict which side will turn up.
*NO ONE* stays on top *FOREVER.*
It's just a matter of *TIME and SEASON*
That person you despised, ridiculed, treated like s**t and acted like "GOD" over today, may have control over your life, career or save your head tomorrow.
*NO ONE KNOWS TOMORROW!*
Treat everyone with respect and show some kindness because there will always be a tomorrow.
Be good to all!
*A Boss* today might become *a Subordinate* tomorrow because there's no permanent state in life.
*ALWAYS USE YOUR POWERS AND POSITIONS CAUTIOUSLY AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.*
Always stand for what is *right, fair and just.*
Like Mugabe said: "...treat the towel with care because the same place you used in cleaning your *bottom* today might be the same place you will use in cleaning your *face* tomorrow."
*REMEMBER THIS, NO ACT OF KINDNESS IS A WASTE! OUR PRIME PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO HELP OTHERS AND IF YOU CAN NOT HELP THEM, AT LEAST DO NOT HURT THEM!*
Who would have thought, *Nokia 3310* would be a forgotten phone in the midst of Androids?
This old, *dilapidated house with the Volkswagen car* was once a beautiful sight to behold and the owner was treated with respect and honour.
Today, *no one* will be proud to be associated with that sight.
That's life for you.
No one *knows* tomorrow... *Nothing* is *permanent,* *Everything* is on *motion.*
*Be humble & kind to all pls!*

God bless you all.❤️

_MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE._

*_People learn this late, they are too quick to cut off people._*

_It is childish and immature to pick offense at AND and EVERY provocation or perceived wrong and then start keeping grudges as a result.._

*_Grow above it._*

_Someone did not invite you for their wedding, you pick offense with them._

*_Someone didn't wish you happy birthday, you pick offense with the Person_*

_They didn't like your Facebook Post, you pick offense._

*_They didn't support you in a disagreement you had with someone, you pick offense with them._*

_They said No to your request, you pick offense and malice start like bicycle._

*_You asked them for money, they said they didn't have, you pick offense with them._*

_You are even keeping record of people who brought gifts to your wedding, so you can know who to pick offense with. Hah._

*See,*

_Everyone is busy,_

*_Everyone has their battles you are not aware of._*

_Those who you need help from are also looking for help._

*_Not everything is Personal and intentional_*

_Not everyone hates you._

*_People will forget about you, not wish you happy birthday, promise you and fail you, not join your group, doesn't mean they don't like you, sometimes People are just caught up with their own personal lives, struggles, and human weaknesses/limitations._*

_Learn how to manage being disappointed by People and still be on talking terms with them, it'll save you a lot of UNNECESSARY grudges and beefing and save you some FRIENDSHIPS You'll need in Future.._

*_Grow above offences!_*

*THE THREE COMMANDMENTS OF CHRISTMAS:*

1. If you can't afford NEW CLOTHES, wear the ones you already have. It's JESUS' birthday and not yours. You mustn't 'out dress' the celebrant.

2. If you can't afford the kind of FOOD you want, eat what you have and move on. If you don't tell people what you ate, no one knows. 'belle no get show glass'.

3. If you don't have the means to TRAVEL, stay where you are. JESUS wasn't born in your village afterall. And your village isn't the appointed place for His birthday celebration either. Any villager who is desperately bent on seeing you, should come look for you where you are,
Take life easy and don't stress yourself.
DON'T ENVY ANYONE
THANKS AND COMPLIMENT OF THE SEASON. 😘😘😘😘😘

*Good day dear Family. Do you remember Olympic Games in 1996, popularly referred to as Atlanta ‘96?*

*Do you remember the historic football match between Nigeria and Brazil in Atlanta during Olympics Games in 1996? General Sani Abacha was the president of Nigeria, while Jo Bonfrere was the Chief Coach of the Dream Team, Nwankwo Kanu fully on ground as the Captain of the team.*

*Brazil was the king of global football and they knew it. So, Nigeria losing to Brazil that night would not be a big deal.*

*Gosh! Brazil dealt with us that night. Till around 77th minute (about 12 minutes to the end of the game) Brazil was obviously dominating the game. The score line was Brazil 3, Nigeria 1.*

*Despite the Brazil squad including star names such as Carlos, Rivaldo, Bebeto and Ronaldo, Nigerians watching the game still think Nigeria did not deserve such humiliation by Brazil boys, we had been beaten mercilessly. Nigerians became angry towards the end of the match; many had turned off their Television sets, some were shedding tears, while few hoped and prayed that we would not be further disgraced with yet another goal, but the unimaginable happened in the game.*

*At about 78th minute Victor Ikpeba stroked from 20 meters to score the second goal, everything changed beyond the 3:2 score line. Pressure came upon Brazil and hope for the Nigeria players, they became more motivated and began to fire shots from every angle.*

*Then another miracle, at the 90th minute, just before the final whistle, Kanu Nwankwo turned and flipped the ball over Dida and it was another goal, the equalizer.*

*What a wonderful match?...*

*There was a rule then, “the Golden Goal Rule", the first team to score in the extra time wins the game.*

*Then came the decisive goal from Papilo in just 3 minutes into the extra time… And that was how the messy game became a message.*

*A lot can still be done this year to make it a glorious year, the remaining part of the year is sufficient to define the whole year.*

*Don't lose hope now. It is too early to give up on your beautiful expectations for 2021.*

*It is not over until it is over, wipe off the tears and buckle your shoes.*

*In the remaining days and weeks of this year, try to;*

*🔹Review*
*🔹Re- strategize*
*🔹 Relaunch.*
*🔹 Keep faith alive*
*🔹Fire shots from all angles*

*Surely, you will win...*
