WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT GOD THAT WILL MAKE YOU STRONG AND DO EXPLOIT


“At the appointed time he shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter. For ships from Cyprus shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant. And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their god shall be strong and do exploits. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering. Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join with them by intrigue. And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.” Daniel 11:29-35
Man is naturally a fearful, lazy and ignorant being who sometimes without being forced want to avoid challenges, and may not want to be confrontational with adversaries at any instances, and as Christians we are not so much different from the rest of humanity in those flaws. However, through histories Christians, either as a group or individual, have been found to have achieved a number of considerable victories in every human endeavour, but must of such victories were not without a backup force from God.

Today, it appears to me that many, larger percent of Christians, have been much fearful than any time in the history of man. We don’t want to cause ‘trouble’, not knowing that for trouble we are called and think that victory in any way on earth is worldly, not knowing that without it Christ Jesus, our Lord, will not be known. Failure to manifest Christ Jesus in the physical gives devil an opportunity to present himself as an angel of light. So our victories and achievements in any endeavour are not worldly. However, such a belief that to achieve victories on earth are worldly is not natural: they are mostly outcomes of the failed attempts of some spiritual leaders who have failed to achieve certain things due to the facts that God is not involved in the course, and in efforts to justify their failure often come up with such ideologies and sayings that cover up God, Christian ever faithful Confidant and Support.

In every instance, God wants us to challenge and to achieve things and greatness for in them He is most glorified. But these days, we do not only fail to achieve remarkable things as our old faithful spiritual leaders, but we have also surrendered to enemies and prefer to even join them in what they do because we are fearful and do not know our God. Apostle Paul says to us in Ephesians 6:10, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. …that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” However, knowing God and what He is capable of is one way we can be strong and stand to do great exploits in the day of adversities we may be passing through as apostle Paul said, “For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED and am persuaded that HE IS ABLE TO KEEP WHAT I have committed to Him until that Day.” 2 Timothy 1:12.

So what are those things we should know about our Father, our God that will make us strong and do exploit in our days? Consider the following:

·        He is too faithful to fail. Unless He doesn’t send you. Unless you do not inform Him before you start. Unless He doesn’t give you the go-ahead. Unless it is towards a wrong motive. Unless you do not call to Him. Unless you are not initially with Him. Unless it won’t glorify Him. Unless He considers it better in another way different from your perspective.
·        He is the alpha and the omega. “Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the Lord has not commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that woe and well-being proceed?” Lamentations 3:37-38. Until God has spoken, no one speaks. Until He says it is over, nothing is over, because there is none before Him and after Him.
·        He is stronger than anyone and has power over everything. He is the Controller-General of everything in the universe. He brings great kings down to nothing, Daniel 4:19-37; He renders might men useless, Samuel 17:34-54; He stops the earth from rotating, Joshua 10:12-15; He makes fire lose its flame and heat, Daniel 3:16-30; He stills the storm, Mark 4:35-41; He feeds thousands with one person’s meal, Matthew 15:32-39; He divides water without containers, Exodus 14:10-31. Etc.
·        He alone knows better and the best. Do you say you have a better plan? I bet you, you don’t have a plan to become a nation. You don’t have a plan to control the whole world, Revelations 5:10-11. Do you say you will better than the way you are if you have some things? Then think of king Hezekiah, Isaiah 38;39. We don’t know anything; we don’t have any better plan than God, Jeremiah 29.
·        He loves all human beings, but He loves His own more. Proverbs 8:31.

Therefore, don’t stop doing the great works you have at hand. Challenges will definitely come along your ways, but you don’t have to let them stop you from achieving your goals because you have known who is backing you up.

HOW TO GET YOUR IDEAS SPREAD

By Seth Godin on TED 2003. I'm going to give you four specific examples, I'm going to cover at the end about how a company called Silk tripled their sales; how an artist named Jeff Koons went from being a nobody to making a whole bunch of money and having a lot of impact; to how Frank Gehry redefined what it meant to be an architect. And one of my biggest failures as a marketer in the last few years -- a record label I started that had a CD called "Sauce." Before I can do that I've got to tell you about sliced bread, and a guy named Otto Rohwedder. Now, before sliced bread was invented in the 1910s I wonder what they said? Like the greatest invention since the telegraph or something. But this guy named Otto Rohwedder invented sliced bread, and he focused, like most inventors did, on the patent part and the making part. And the thing about the invention of sliced bread is this -- that for the first 15 years after sliced bread was available no one bought it;

THE REAL MEANING OF SCHOOL

Issue of school in regards to its meaning is one of the modern topic amongst educationists. While school is described in a layman term just as a place of learning; it is professionally described as an organized environment for formal education – which means education that follows certain processes. And the features of school, as it is being often mentioned, include: school authority and staff, classrooms, laboratories and libraries, textbooks and lesson notes, students, tables and chairs, various buildings and offices, ink or chalk boards and other materials of instruction. But school, in the real sense, is more than all that have been mentioned as the major features; my description of school is simply a place of getting additional knowledge to one's own natural knowledge. Therefore, the real features of a school is everything and anything that contributes to the growth of one's knowledge, causes the expansion of one's mind, increases one's intelligence quotient,

HOW TO DETOXIFY THE YOUNG MINDS FROM INDOCTRINATION

By Wole Soyinka for thehighereducation.com A few years ago, I had reached the stage of despair over the deterioration of the university system in my own country, Nigeria, under successive regimes of both civilian and military orders. Even the basic, campus social life had broken down, a condition that I tried to summarise in the title of a public lecture that went: “Descent of barbarism and end of the collegial”. Educational standards had plummeted so low that the word “illiteracy” had become current within – not only outside – the ivory towers, leading Unesco to classify Nigeria as one of the nine countries that together accounted for 70 per cent of the globe’s illiterate population. We do not need to be reminded that primary and secondary education form the base material for the intellectual quality of intakes into the tertiary institution. When deterioration in those two tiers is compounded by the fact that those tertiaries indulged in any excuse to foment strikes by facul

HOW TO HAVE YOUR INTELLIGENT QUOTIENT INCREASED

WHAT IS INTELLIGENT QUOTIENT ACCELERATOR? If intelligence means the activity or working of the brain to perceive and intelligent quotient means the speed at which the brain works in perceiving, then intelligent quotient accelerator means something that increases that speed from certain level of perceiving to higher level of perceiving. Some facts you should know about knowledge in relation to intelligence include the fact that it is knowledge which determines intelligence due to its (knowledge’s) diversity. Diversity in this context refers to the fact that different kind of activities requires their different individual knowledge. For instance, there are different kinds of knowledge for different sport activities; there is another one for different scientific workings; there is another one for cooking, etc. for as many activities you can mention, each has its own knowledge. Now the kind of activity or profession or subject that fits a person's natural endeavor or that in
