Entrepreneurship Is The Future - We Are All Seated On Treasures Within Us - The Potential To Do Great Things That Can Change Livelihoods And The Economic Landscape All Over The World

"400 Ugandans lose jobs as Uchumi exits Uganda"

With such things happening! I believe strongly that ENTREPRENEURSHIP is the future for many of us because this can happen to anyone - no one is immune to adversity and disaster but certain measures put in place can reduce the impact... as much as we work under people, we should have it in mind not to work under them for too long to a point where you become  slaves and not do anything for ourselves and our families and the community and Nation at large - Having a mindset of entrepreneurship is key, or that of a partner knowing that you have so much potential that can be used to do great exploits - we should have timelines, plan wisely, have goals and visions that are SMART in many ways -

I believe having an idea and doing it is better than having no idea at all, I believe that planning for yourself and the future is better than not planning at all, I believe that taking life serious and the decisions we make must be done diligently other than sitting back and you refuse to decide anyway refusing to decide is also a decision in itself but we need to know that jobs are here to empower us not put us in bondage because you can use that platform to do lots of things like network, learn from whatever is on ground and hence launch out at some point etc

With the economy biting, such things are bound to happen even more, we need not FEAR, We need to be strategic in our way of life, in our planning (Commit it to God), In doing business, family, education, ministry and many other things.

Right now you could be seated on a gold mine, you could be harnessing an idea but things like FEAR have stopped you from "Going Forward" but remember that the future can be predicted by certain trends, and the word of God is clear about certain principles, "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW".

This is just a reminder to AWAKE THE SLEEPING GIANT IN US, we need to think within and without, we need to THINK BIG but start small , we need to not avoid shunning work, there is a saying in acholi that goes like this "lachah pelony". This basically means that those who shun work don't get rich or can't be successful.

Let me close with this portion of scripture that as believers we need not just to pray but we have to work as God is the one who gives the strength, wisdom and understanding to do everything he has called us to do..

Deuteronomy 8:17-18:
You may say to yourselves, “I became wealthy because of my own ability and strength.” But remember the Lord your God is the one who makes you wealthy. He’s confirming the promise which he swore to your ancestors. It’s still in effect today.

So walk in the promises of God, don't allow to be lazy, he has already set a pattern on how we should live, work etc but most times we allow the worldly system to take over, we are in this world but not of this world, we belong to a system of the kingdom that has already placed things that we should do to beat the scourge of this world.. for example such scriptures speak alot but do we implement them

Proverbs 10:4 Lazy hands make for poverty,   but diligent hands bring wealth.

Proverbs 6:6-8 Go to the ant, you sluggard;  consider its ways and be wise!  It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.

Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Proverbs 30:24-25 Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;

James 5:1-6 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.  You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

This serves as a warning, to employers, employees, industrialists, workers and all manner of people (young to old) see link below

How Prepared Are You For The Coming Times, They Most Definitely Will Be Hard, Inflation Is Already Biting Whether You Know It Or Not..

We can no-longer remain complacent, we can longer think like yesterday because as times change we have to adapt - Today when you have one income stream, you are a pay check a way from bankruptcy as James Abola says.. The bible is clear about knowledge and about its acquisition, the bible is clear about wisdom, understanding and timing in regards to many things we do.. God's people or people perish for lack of knowledge.

The bridge called knowledge could be the solution to the coming hard times and it's application could be the generative power. 

When I read in the papers and see projections of what's coming ahead, we had better be prepared.. we need our fields prepared, we need not give up on our dreams and passions, we need to dig wells even if they fail and you are chased from one point to the other like Isaac, the turning point will eventually come..

I urge us to prepare, I urge us to seek knowledge in regards to many things but also in regards to this area of finances.. you can no longer have the consumer mindset because that it is selfish but you can have the investment mindset because it won't only bless you but others as well..

We can't pretend to go along with the same chorus out there, yet we have the ingredients to make a difference and make the light shine.. The shift of wealth from the wicked to the righteous won't just happen by osmosis, we need to be trained, we need to be ready, we need to inquire from God, we need to have intelligence, we need to be humble enough to study, we need not repeat the mistakes of those who have done it before, we need to research and many of these things are written in books or we see them every day in the lives of many, our parents lives, history and so on..‪#‎BePrepared‬

Miracles Can Happen Anywhere And Every Where

Hey Friends and Family, I bless the Lord for you and yeah always grateful for thus far God brings us all, we surely are under his refuge and protection. Recently My wife Martha Baluka Opio and I experienced two important important miracles that we keep thanking God for. 

Recently we got a house help and she has been with us now for a month and many a time we could call her and she wouldn't hear at all, one of her ears was deaf and the other was also dying slowly but surely.

A few days back while having our evening devotion before retiring to bed, as we kept on teaching her a few English words to better her communication, My wife kept translating whatever I was sharing and we told her to ONLY BELIEVE in God, and that if she did, he would HEAL her of her ailment. But First she gave her life to CHRIST which was the most important and that made us happy as that was the first miracle. We spoke to her and told her that there is NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. 

As we spoke her FAITH WAS RAISED, I sensed deep down in my spirit as there was an awesome PRESENCE OF GOD in our living room. It hit me so hard that miracles don't only happen in crusade grounds, they could actually happen in our living room. My wife prayed as she was meant to lead devotion that evening and then She asked me to go pray for her. I laid my hands and spoke the word of God to the deaf ear. After we prayed I asked her how she was feeling and she said she was hearing "NOISES" as she felt something had moved down her ear, I then told her we were going to pray that the NOISES would be no more. 

After we were done, we asked her if she could hear and it was affirmative, she closed the ear that was ok and we kept talking to the one that was deaf but she could hear perfectly as God had healed her.. God did not only heal her ear but also her eye that was troubling her with, it would pain so much that she would tear and get headaches that made her head heavy but all that the LORD did for her and today when we call her she hears perfectly(She is no longer DEAF) and her head is lighter. MAY THE NAME OF THE LORD BE GLORIFIED - GOD CAN MEET YOU IN YOUR LIVING ROOM OR WHEREVER YOU ARE - HE IS ALL POWERFUL, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT etc...

How Are You Living Your Life?

We all surely have a destiny and it can either be GOOD or BAD. We are living in a time where LIFE isn't guaranteed. You live knowing that you might not even reach 60, 70 or 120. People have even given up on advise on how they can better their health, people are living reckless lives and giving up themselves to things that kill them. Right now it's not even about the food we eat or the water we drink or the exercise you do or don't know. 

There is more to life. People are dying of depression, people are dying because of lost hope, people are dying because of disobedience etc. Moses asked GOD one thing TEACH ME TO NUMBER MY DAYS SO THAT I MAY APPLY MY HEART TO WISDOM. 

I have more hope in Jesus Christ the giver of life, you can try whatever you want to and I guarantee you will never have any satisfaction, you can make your plans without him but tomorrow they will be left here as well and they will be destroyed, To Live Is Christ and Die Is Gain. 

Times have worsened and they will worsen even more but be of Good Cheer Because Christ Overcame The World, He also Overcame DEATH, so there is nothing that you should FEAR. However I have one reminder to put before many of you Today, ACCEPT CHRIST TODAY, In Him We Live, Move and Have Our Being. 

The things of this world shall pass way, you and I will pass away and be a part of either Kingdoms. The Trumpet Is About To Sound, I hope you and I will be prepared. Dr Myles once said The Greatest Tragedy On Earth Is Not Death, But A Life Lived Without Purpose. Your Purpose Is Found In God, And When You Accept Jesus and Live Empowered By Him Through The Holy Spirit, There Will be Nothing To Be Afraid Of. ‪#‎LiveALifeOfPurpose‬ and Let Christ Be The Centre of Your Life ‪#‎AcceptHimToday‬

Making WISE Money Decisions

Lately I have been in a place where by if you got it wrong on a decision for your life, it could be something that can bring about disappointment and a major setback.

I have learnt that it is good to have a sober mind whenever it comes to making investments or anything that involves money. First of all, it is good to know what you want - in other words, do you have a PLAN for the future or for the short term, medium and long term investment. Without a plan, when money comes, it can go to anything not planned for and you wonder why a certain goal wasn't met. So Always have a PLAN in mind.

The other point number two is to always seek CONSULTATION, In a many counselors there is wise counsel, when you walk with the wise you become wise as well. I have found out that seeking a second opinion will give you the opportunity first of all not to rush the decision but also to take time to evaluate if what you are going to do will meet your desired goals and values for your life and those in your life and those around.

I still learnt one last thing that it's harder to do many things ALONE, so always have a TEAM that subscribe to your VISION, that believe in what you want to achieve not just for yourself but for everyone else - you can do less work alone but can do much more when you are in a team.

Lastly Every Decision You Make In Life Will Affect your destiny, So Make Wise decisions, decisions that will show will make you credible, decisions that will make you a man or woman approved of God, Decisions that will Impact your generation not forgetting your own children and children's children.

Is Your LIFE SO SMOOTH that it makes you feel like you don't NEED GOD.

"Is Your LIFE SO SMOOTH that it makes you feel like you don't NEED GOD." 

This statement got me thinking. I remember when Job was doing all fine and well. God asked the Devil where he was and he said, "I was moving to and fro all over the earth." They had a brief talk and we all know what it ended up in. Not forgetting Job was an upright man but God trusted that he wouldn't turn a way from him and we all know how the story ended in #doubleportion.

But we shouldn't think that when troubles come, God has brought tragedy or hell over us - we shouldn't only expect Good, sometimes the bad will come, it could be even worse to a point where you lose your everything and more so a life.
There has been a deception that the enemy brings, and it lies in the so called things that we seem to derive happiness from, no amount of things that make our life comfortable and smooth are bigger than the God who lives in us, he is our ultimate peace, joy, love etc ..

Let God be the CAPTAIN of your life - Seek Jesus Today, He is just at the DOOR step of your heart.

God created you out of him and the desire for him will come out of the very fact that you have a piece of him (His very image)

God bless you as you make him you LORD AND KING of your life

Other People's Live's and their Stories Can Be A Major Push to Succeed

When we read about Joshua in the Bible, we see how God told him to arise and take on leadership, At that point Moses was no more. God told Joshua not to let the book of the law depart from him. Moses played a big part in making sure the laws and commands of God were followed. But we can see for sure that the life of Moses was encouraging in one way or the other, we can see that God told Joshua to be of Good Courage and that he would be with him. God was with Moses, his presence never left him and the same thing was being offered to Joshua. 

The stories and biographies of people are something we normally don't want to look into yet there is depth and wealth of wisdom, both from their failures and successes... While Reading About Jim Rohn, I found out this guy's life was surely a product of someone mentoring him in one way or the other. I found out that he rose from the lowest to the highest. I found out that he started giving personal development talks as a result of the things he had learned and how they shaped him.

While writing in his book "Five Major Pieces To The Life Puzzle ", He made this statement about potential that is so deep and can cut through to the depths of your heart. He said, and I quote

 "It seems that every life form on this planet strives toward its maximum potential ... except human beings. A tree does not grow to half its potential size and then say, “I guess that will do.” A tree will drive its roots as deep as possible. It will soak up as much nourishment as it can, stretch as high and as wide as nature will allow, and then look down as if to remind us of how much each of us could become if we would only do all that we can."

Today go and read up about someone, their story can help you and you wouldn't have to re-event the will - read the bible it has so many life and truthful and enriching stories that can change you, read about men and women today and in the past that have changed lives by some of the things they did - Thomas Edison failed so many times at the attempt of making a light bulb but eventually it happened. I don't know how best to say it but there is a road that so many have traveled, it is probably the same road though different challenges, however you can pick a leaf from their courage, attitude, determination, character, hard-work etc

READ ON SOMEONE TODAY, YOU WILL BE INSPIRED

Start Today and See the Change as time goes on
