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 Decision Factor

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt “The value of decisions depends upon the courage required to render them. The great decisions, which served as the foundation of civilization, were reached by assuming great risks, which often meant the possibility of death.” “The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs, are, generally, easily influenced by the ‘opinions’ of others.” Were the words of Napoleon Hill, in his book, Think and Grow Rich. He continued, “They permit the newspapers and the ‘gossiping’ neighbours to do their ‘thinking’ for them. ‘Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who  will accept  them. If you are influenced by ‘opinions’  when you  reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in  any undertaking ...

LEADERSHIP REFELCTIONS 19

The spectator syndrome has the most devastating effect on any leadership whose pioneer leaders allow the crowd to tell them what to do and what not. This syndrome creates the same effect created by back seat drivers who believe they know how the driver should drive. They talk with so much proficiency that could make you consider their suggestions, which is rather a distraction in a kind. Pioneer leaders should understand that distractions only come because they are focused and should never allowed themselves to be diffused into the words of those suffering from the syndrome. Every leadership is navigated by a game plan that only the leaders see. While it could be suggested that they are not doing what they are supposed to, it is important to note that their perceptive in the field of play differ from those standing aside and observing. In the football field, there could be a million spectators, yet only 22 players touch the ball. The players who score the most goals understand how to...
