BEING NICE


The simple act of God being so nice brought about the creation. Another is the rugged cross. But today in our society, I may be going too far if I say society. Today, in the body of Christ, being nice, we think, is so expensive a venture to get ourselves into. The concept of being nice has left our systems so strongly that those who seem to nice go in for it, hence; they are being taken advantage upon. I put this way, the synonym given to the great commission, to me, is to be nice to all men, nothing more, nothing less.
Yet, this has more or less been under emphasized and of course, we assume to be Christians-what a misnomer. The scripture declares as said Luke to Theophilus how Jesus of Nazareth went about doing good--- I’d rather say it this way. How he went about being nice. I write to represent a concept that God himself implored,
Sages also have this as a record, even kings and kingdoms, politicians, the so acclaimed public liability companies- just being nice.
Being nice is a simple phrase, but with a varied and big concept. It has no limits, no boundaries, no omission but commission, no impact unless implied, so intangible yet makes tangibility. The truth is nice people are of, but, one religion and what that is they never can tell. I present the simplest way to win souls to God yet maintain our place in heaven. Like salt, it seasons: like honey, usually gives sweet taste; like clothes covers our nakedness; like light, darkness can not comprehend it; like a commandment, establishes virtue…we can be nice to all men only if we can settle for the impact.
You may be thinking too far on this concept, but this is what I mean on the concept of being nice,
It could just be:
-Making someone’s day with just a smile on your face.
-Asking a fellow “how are you doing today?”
-Helping someone (stranger) to carry a luggage.
-Knowing somebody’s name intentionally.
-Calling someone by his or her name.
-Saying “Please” before you make a request.
-Buying someone lunch.
-Giving someone a cold drink in a sunny afternoon.
-Sending an sms to a fellow you are actually not in good talking terms with.
-Giving someone a lift after the church service.
-Saying “sorry” when you wrong someone.

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS In the just previous essay I pointed out the three major right attitudes the leader must have in his or her bid to influence the collaborators, which are: he or she must always come up with superior argument, be grounded in wisdom and knowledge, and be proactive in proffering solutions that make problems go away. However, today, I am going to be discussing the dynamics of influencing the collaborators and the point of influence associated with them in the progressive transformation of the cycle of leadership. In the cycle of leadership, the leader is given a goal to transform followers who got attracted to them by the leadership vision into becoming disciples who by a series of teaching learning of the principles that make for good leadership are transformed into collaborators who have eventually discovered their leadership purpose and are willing to either sustain the work being done by the leader or are launched out as leaders in order to ...

The Power of Focus

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. - Tony Robbins Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. By concentrating your efforts upon a few major goals, your efficiency soars, your projects are completed - you are going somewhere. By focusing your efforts to a single point, you achieve the greatest results. ....the power of focus The first rule of success, and the one that supersedes all others, is to have energy. It is important to know how to concentrate it, how to husband it, how to focus it on important things instead of frittering it away on trivia.  Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.  The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until...

LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS 8

The essence of leadership is continuity such that the poineer leader endeavours to raise people to continue from where he or she stops thereby forming an endless ripple effect from one generation to another. Hence, the relevance of any leadership is to the degree that it is able to outlive itself after having transformed the players into their ideal selves. After the leadership success is achieved, it automatically becomes a template for the followers to build upon. What this means is that when success is attained, it almost becomes obsolete for the next generation, which will require innovation and tweaking if contuinity is intended within their spheres of abilities. Are your intentions in leadership geared towards continuity? Elvis C. Umez Leadership Consultant School of Leadership Development (SOLD) IDB Consult
