Opportunities are attracted to value

There are so many ways to increase your value. And by so doing, you'll be able to being value into any relationship, organization and community you are part of.

1. Gather knowledge
The difference between successful people and non successful people is knowledge. There is always something that a successful person know that others don't. Make sure you're learning, studying and gathering knowledge so that you're knowledgeable when needed.

2. Acquire skills
What can you do? I mean practical skills. Everyone these days can use a computer but not everyone can do complex equations and pivot tables. Acquire not just skills but unique skills. Do all you can to stand out.

3. Hone your people's skills
There is no success without relationships. You can have all the money, skills and energy but if you can't work with people well, you are going to frustrate people. People skills have to do also with your emotional intelligence. That's how you build valuable and successful relationships.

4. Manage your reputation
Believe it or not, reputation can be the deciding factor between being included or excluded from a deal. When you don't keep promises, are dishonest and try to cheat people out of opportunities, soon enough you will have no one wanting to do anything with you. Manage your reputation. What people say in this instance matters.

5. Go and extra mile
Do not only do what's require but exceed expectations. Average is not a place for valuable people. These are problem solvers par excellence. Be like that. Don't settle for good if you can be great. Always seek opportunities to do more. Volunteer if you must.

As you navigate this new week and the upcoming new month, please put these into implementation and see how much value you can add to yourself and those who are around you.

Happy new week

JEALOUSY IS A SPIRIT — A SPIRIT OF WITCHCRAFT

Jealousy is not just a feeling. It is a spirit, a dangerous and destructive spirit that hides behind smiles, flattery, and silence. It operates silently in families, workplaces, churches, and even among friends. It is the spirit that resents your progress, your joy, your calling, your anointing. In the Bible, this spirit was behind Cain’s murder of Abel — “And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain... He had not respect… And Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.” (Genesis 4:4-8) Joseph’s brothers were so gripped by this spirit that they threw him into a pit and sold him into slavery. “And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.” (Genesis 37:5-11) King Saul, filled with envy at David’s favor, sought to kill him: “And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.” (1 Samuel 18:9) But what is even more dangerous is that jealousy is witchcraft in disguise. It may not use charms or incantations, but the evil desires of the heart ...

THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL

It’s Not What Many Think. Let’s clear something up, because the enemy thrives in confusion and mislabeling. Too many people think the "Jezebel spirit" is all about sexual immorality. While seduction played a role in Queen Jezebel’s story, the real root of this spirit runs much deeper and far more dangerous. The spirit of Jezebel is not just about lust. It’s about control, manipulation, deception, and the usurping of leadership and godly authority. This spirit doesn’t always wear revealing clothes or come with flirtation. Sometimes, it shows up in the church with a smile and scripture, twisting truth to suit personal agendas. It silences prophetic voices. It disrupts unity. It operates through fear and intimidation, seeking to control those called by God. Queen Jezebel orchestrated murders, promoted idolatry, and stood in direct opposition to God’s prophets—not because of physical seduction, but because of her desire to manipulate power and control the narrative. Jesus Himself...

Beware the Herod Spirit: A Silent Killer of Potential

In Matthew 2, we find a disturbing yet revealing story. Wise men from the East came to Jerusalem asking, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?” (Matthew 2:2). When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him (Matthew 2:3). Though Jesus was still a child, not yet preaching, not yet performing miracles, and not yet gathering followers, the mere news of His birth—the announcement of His potential—sent fear and insecurity into the heart of Herod. Herod’s response? Genocide. He commanded that all male children two years old and under in Bethlehem and its surroundings be killed (Matthew 2:16). Why? Because he wanted to eliminate the possibility of another king rising. He wasn’t fighting a crowned ruler—he was fighting a baby with destiny. This is the essence of what many call the Herod spirit—a spiritual opposition that seeks to destroy purpose, potential, and divine promise before it can fully manifest. Understanding the Herod Spirit The Herod spirit is not...
