The scriptures say sound knowledge is reserved for the upright, as God is the only source of wisdom and understanding. However, it takes courage to search for true wisdom. There is no shortcut to the divine illumination; the only way is meditation on the words of God. And there is no failure in waiting for the fulfillment of His promises. The development of this formidable shield requires absolute trust in the Lord. And the process, though challenging, is guaranteed to lead to safety.

Every life ambition motivated by a course higher than self is favourably accepted to serve in leadership position. Such life will care for the good of humanity rather than self consideration. In public service, selfless leadership abides by the whole tenet of state's constitution and the general welfare of humanity. The choices of selfless person, in terms of career and professional aspirations, are motivated by the courses, perceived as the eternal essence of life. When such life is under the control of God, the will of His Maker becomes his only solemn command. Rather than being ruled by the greed of gain, he is gracious in godliness. Submission to the will of God is the gracious gateway for a life, determined to make the journey to heavenly glory and peace. Not even the gain of the streets of gold is worth the motivation, but the privilege of seeing the Lord Jesus Christ and hearing.. "Well done", after following His instructions. Unfortunately, gain is a useful device...

Knowledge is power, but it can be prevented from flowing out by those who succeed in gaining control over its publication. Various mechanisms exist and have been explored to protect this human intellectual property. This is often fair in order to ensure a commensurate return of investment in intellectual capacity development. Unlike human being, God is willing to freely disclose his wealth of knowledge without requesting the execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. However, divine partnership requires nothing more than the fear of the Lord. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge". The fear of others (e.g., vengeance of man, losing job, losing position, property destruction, falling health, etc) cannot co-exist with the fear of the Lord; it is rather an expression of faithlessness. The secret of the Lord belongs to those who will not be terrified by anything or anyone that seeks to usurp or disregard the Omnipotent declarations of God for their lives, homes, and b...

It is difficult to expect exactly the same creation from different Professional Design Artists. Every Artist has unique blend of styles and can easily pass every mistake for ingenuity. However, and if regulated by the same standard, all Artists are expected to ensure their artworks fit into the given frame. The styles may varies with Artists, but using the same frame means compliance. Irrespective of diversity in culture and values of man, the standard of righteousness is the same. The word of God provides a perfect precepts for righteousness, upon which all teachings of men are examined. No matter the skill and eloquency of any preacher, if any doctrine of the scriptures is compromised, there is no basis for accepting the message delivered. Errors are introduced by every effort to interpret God's word in order to fit every culture and value of man. Variety of version is not the same as contradiction in content. Every addition or subtraction to the scriptures is not acceptable in G...

One of the dreadful curriculum of senior high science classes is the practical demonstration of all the underlying theories, especially when appropriate learning facilities and supplies are not available. Perhaps the unbearable financial burden of these facilities led to the introduction of alternative to practical classes. However, alternative to practical classes are limited in term of their offerings. Human beings learn fastest with full exercise of all their senses. The broken link in the passing of faith from generation to generation is largely attributed to failure of parents in expressing the love of God to their Children. Parents are readily comfortable with alternative to love, substituting love with all that human strength and resources can afford. The misconception about love is that toys and expensive gifts will fill the vacuum. Children can be easily pre-occupied with material possessions bequested to them; they cannot relate with the love that connect man with His Maker t...

The Marathon of Life means to align your desires in such a way that every action and inaction, accomplishment and setback, propels you towards the fulfillment of your life purpose, towards making the world a better place, towards setting an example for others, towards the ultimate dream that your talents were meant to help you achieve. Whether an avid runner or not, life is a race, and even at this very moment, you are running either the Marathon of Life or the Race of Desires. If unsure of the direction of your pursuit, ask a mature person who you have made comfortable enough to give you honest feedback. Like Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” Those who are in constant pursuit of the selfish desires that continue to wreck the lives, health and relationships of others would, sooner or later, pitiably succeed in placing themselve...

Fellowship breeds familiarity with grief consequences, if undermined. To avoid strained relationship, many will prefer to throw an artificial boundary, especially when dealing with superior authority. Although, this boundary enables the monitoring of acceptable conducts that guarantee cordial relationship, a bounded fellowship promotes fear. As demonstrated in His Son, God's love is vulnerable to abuse. Christ stripped himself of all His glories, would could constitute a barrier to fellowship with man, and subjected self to the worst of human cruelty. In our relationship with one another, God's heralds have nothing of self to protect when reaching out in love. Perfect love is constantly open for service. Product of grace holds no grudge.
