  KNOWLEDGE INDEED PUFFS UP. Written By Merry Paul. I actually go on some knowledge fast sometimes, just to avoid unnecessary puffs. When you know too much, if you're not careful, you'll become so critical and harsh on those with a narrower point of view.  You'll tend to consciously or unconsciously intimidate and oppress people because of the enormous information you think you posses. Untamed curiosity will lead one into an unbelievable error beyond his or her imagination. That's why meditation will forever be a very powerful tool at the disposal of great and effective people. Take time to think through everything you know or learn, grab it's firmness before you begin to dispense, it's very important. Knowledge can illuminate, at the same time can deteriorate. It ultimately depends on how it's being used. Take your time to examine yourself, is knowledge puffing you up? Is it making you intolerant and inconsiderate? Is it making you unbelievably harsh and ho...

  SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE (Influencers' edition) Written By Michael Chidiebere Ituma .Brother X comes online one beautiful morning. He is a social thinker, so called. He posts a philosophy of his own thoughts, his unprocessed ideas, with a beautiful picture attached to it. He posts it on his timeline on Facebook, and on every group he can lay his hands. Then he quickly goes to his WhatsApp status to share that same idea.  . . . Brother Z comes online, sees the post of brother X and begins to nod to the idea of that philosophy.

A lot just enough to keep memories fresh many years later.  . . . Before much can be said or don...

  Written By Phinehas E Paul WHEN THE GAME IS OVER,  WE SHALL ALL RETURN HOME. A boy was sent by his father to urgently buy him food from a restaurant. On his way going, he was in a hurry because of the urgency of the assignment. However, on his way back, he passed where his mates were playing football. He  slowed down, began to watch the game, gradually slowing down until he finally stopped. He watched for a while and got carried away, he became interested, and indicated his interest in playing, he was invited. He left the food in the care of some unknown people and entered the field. He forgot the assignment completely and played his heart out. He became the man of the match, dribbled opponents, created chances, scored goals and changed the face of the entire game. When night came, the owner of the ball picked it up. It was time for everyone to go home; to go back to their parents, the game was over! It now dawned on the boy after everyone had left that he had actually ...

  HOW DO I DISCOVER MY PURPOSE? Written By Michael C. Samuel. It is very rare now to see a platform that isn't talking about the purpose.  It gives me joy knowing that the world is coming to embrace this light and I am super excited about the change. Indeed, everyone is focusing on living a purposeful and fulfilled life using the gift given to them during creation. But there is a predicament. This storm is trying to deny a lot of individuals who are willing to walk through the path already orchestrated from them during birth. The dilemma of not knowing how to discover the gift in them has taken willing souls to the grave without maximizing their purpose. I had always said this, when you are looking for something which you are not the one who kept it, return to the owner of what you are surveying and seek his or her advice on how to unearth it. This is bringing us tighter to the discussion of today. From all inklings, we know that God is the creator of everything and it will be...

  Credit From The Unknown Person THE ACCESS TO A PASTOR.  If you are close to a Pastor, there are things you must know and settle fast. If you do not settle it, you will walk into offence and it will truncate your relationship with both God and man. It will cause you pain and hinder purpose.  Access is the best gift a man can give to you. If you do not know how to handle it, you will be locked out of your training school.  Michal, the daughter of Saul, the wife of David, knew David from the days he showed up in the palace as that shepherd boy. She saw him rise in the military. She saw her father Saul scheme to kill David.  She knew David in his "small boy" moments. She did not connect to the kingship, priesthood and prophetic dimension of David. The image of that "shepherd boy" never left her. Therefore, when David did his thing in worshipping God, she despised him. She never accepted his priesthood.  Do you know David was on his way home to bless his famil...

Well, I know if it is other corper's that got the offer they won't mind changing their PPA just to grab the opportunity. But I said NO. This is what happens when you position yourself. You will be the one to make choices. Do you think there are no jobs out there? Well, the truth is there are more opportunities out there than you can imagine. You're only limited to the ones you know of. You can only operate at the level of the information that you have. Take your personal development seriously and be value-conscious. Build yourself to the extent of having different opportunities available for you to choose from. WAYS TO POSITION YOURSELF ∆. Learning a high-income skill is the first step because your skill will position you well. ∆. Be value-oriented. When your attention is on creating solutions ...

  Written By Daniel Okafor, CEO/Founder For Phronesis Readers Club DON'T LOSE YOUR READING CUTTING EDGE  Hello Phronesers, here is a quick one;  "The purpose of reading is not just to finish a book, reading is not an end in itself but a means to an end. " Reading is a skill, tool or habit that widens your perspective, broadens your vision, shapen your mindset.........(it goes on).

With that your cutting edge in reading would be sharp and not blunt .          I'm sure you got value. ...
