The proficiency of a project management professional is accessed by the quality of implementation of the project under his control. Reallocation of resources is often greeted with disdain, because most managers believe management by multiplication of resources guarantees efficient implementation. However, with focus on the Lord as the resource allocator and manager, every resource is appreciated, even if unretained. The presence of the Lord in all of life projects is the secret of consistent success. Whoever attempt to exercise full control and management of human resources must practice witchcraft in order to achieve his desired goal. Submission to God as the resource manager is the beginning of peace and comfort in relationship with others.

Every higher course in life, career, family, and social expectations require a fight; because there are oppositions to contend against. When one recognises the possibility of grace in these combats, the fight becomes a fight of faith. However, when the motivation in the fight passes all accomplishments for personal fulfilment, a new class of fight is ensued - a fight for faith . A fight for faith is the expression of love for the author and finisher of the faith. It becomes a fight to sacrifice life, instead of the desire to preserve life; so that the name of the Lord and His course can be promoted. Fighting for faith requires a constant review of the Lord's call to the field. In the face of strong opposition, the focus of the fighter must remain unshifted. He fights because he loves the Lord. Therefore, he will only be satisfied when the Lord appears.

The world has become a global village where heralds need no amplified public address system to pass across their messages; and access is not even restricted to any specified period of time. However, the unrestricted access to cyberspace is being aggresively seized for corrupt and damnable messages, including porn, abuses, fraud, gangsterism, etc. While a huge amount of resources has been deployed by states to restore order and regulate access to cyberspace, it seems there may not be visible gate to this invisible pulpit within the nearest future. All pulpits are opened wide; but God's heralds are under-utilizing the opportunity. Conciously or otherwise, many have restricted the word of life to visible pulpits in churches and corners. And the generations here and heretocome have developed appetite for the negative influences in our social system. " Preach the word ", says the Apostle in his valedictory epistle. If Paul had lived in our world today, his message would remain...

The responsibilities of teaching assistants sometimes may include teaching students, especially when the principal instructor is not accessible or available. This system reduces workloads on principal instructor and facilitates efficient understanding of class materials. However, without proper management, and with continuous familiarity of students with teaching assistants, it is possible to usurp the authority of the principal instructor. The scriptures is the word of God and source of inspiration for all Christians. Without doubt, there are many teaching aids, directed and authored by great instrumentality of God; but none can substitute the word of God or direct revelation of His counsel through our walk of faith with Him. The authority of the bible is not in its inscription; God's word gets its authority from its inspiration. That makes all sections of the scriptures relevant to human life. Without faith is God's word, words of men will be treated as equal; or even better ...

The church and the state are two different platforms of establishing relationships. Both platforms form the lifestyle of human relationships; but the treatment of both platforms as one often result into diplomacy and integrity crisis. Liberalism and conservativeness are two extreme lifestyles that cannot fit into a single system of human relationship with both fellow men and God. The major challenge with people of faith is how to draw a balance between liberalism and conservativeness. In his valedictory note to Pastor Timothy, Apostle Paul said " But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance ". This was someone whose liberal dealings with people outside his religious sect was displayed when he chastised Apostle Peter about discrimination. Conservativeness in relationship with God and liberalism in relationship with people seem to provide good balance in the world. People can fully know who we are; and at the sam...

Control is a free delegated authority, given by God, to every man. The absence of control is a signal of chaos in every system; but it is actually a state of control in disguised. Wherever there is real control, there will be peace, fellowship, joy, and productivity. Real control in homes bring father, mother, and children to the family table together with enthusiasm; it brings manager and workers to the production floor together with great corporate mission; and it organizes presidential retreat between all arms of government without suspicion. However, a disguised control is injected with the atmosphere of fear. Fear is excited for artificial control to run; it is the subtle withdrawal of the authority, given by God, for man to dominate. The major strategy of the enemy is to disguised his control of life, family, and relationships ; by creating a false alarm that will trigger fear. The only antidote is diligence and refusal to entertain every opinion that trigger doubt to the establi...

For eventful delivery of products, the product line must be free from imperfection; but all men are prone to errors. Most times, production materials are not responsible for product defects. Therefore, continuous training of staffs, professional development courses, and the production process are consistently reviewed for improvement. Unlike physical production line, the formation of characters in man is mostly dependent on human activities. Man is a free moral agent; and his contribution to his making is his responsibility. His polluted heart is secured from external influence of God's grace, except by express permission of the man. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and the word of God can operate on every man, no matter how vile; turning the heart from sinner to saint. But man must be willing to absolutely submit self to God's production line. " Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Mas...
