REPACKAGED FOR GREATNESS
Greatness is not easy to come by, so also are great people. Great people are uncommon people they are men who have said no to status quo, people who refuse to be intimidated by their problem or tread on the path taken by all, but have chosen the road less travelled by many, no wonder they are exceptional in their time and are highly sort after by their own contemporaries.
Great people are those who pass through the crucible (the training depot of God where common people are refined into greatness) and come out as pure gold.
The journey to greatness is not easy but tedious; it’s not for chicken hearted ones but for the persevering, persisting, and patient ones- these accounts for a few numbers of people who makes it to the top.
The bad news is that you have falling more than expected, no one has given you a chance to make it neither has anyone been there to encourage or help you; but the good news is there’s one who promise never to leave you nor forsake you, He believes so much in you, he can’t let you go. He will see you through your struggle until he has accomplish all he has in mind concerning you. Just like Moses in the wilderness, Joseph in the prison, David in the cave and Job in ashes heap.
All that God is doing is for a purpose. God wants to repackage you for greatness. There’s greatness in you. Don’t give up! It’s too late to go back from where you started from. Remember there’s greatness in you.

what's on your mind?
By Anyaogu emeka
Whenever you sign in to your facebook page you will see this question: ‘what’s on your mind?’ It’s the answer you gave to that question that determines your status on facebook.
The same thing is applicable to life. It’s what’s on your mind that determines your status in life. No wonder the bible says in prov. 23:7 that: ‘as a man thinks in his heart, so he is’. Nothing happens in your life until you first see it in your mind. The mind can be liken to the computer CPU (central processing unit) it’s what happens there that determines what you will project as a person. Your present status in life is a product of your previous imaginations. You cannot be better than the way you think.
Our thoughts are like the application software we run in our computer CPU which programs the system to work in a certain way. Do you know that some people have negatively programmed their mind as a result of negative thinking? This explains the reason most people are still in their present status.
If you desire to upgrade your status in life and have a better tomorrow, first you need to adjust your mindset. If you have always been pessimistic, then you need to change and learn to always be optimistic. The best way to change your mindset is through God’s word. As you read and meditate on it, there is a renewing process which reprograms and repositions your mind for a better status.
Another way to do this is by attending programs where faith building messages are preached like the one obtainable in our youth Thursdays meetings. It’s unfortunate that some of our youths are yet to avail themselves of this wonderful opportunity. If you are a youth in this church and you don’t attend youth meetings on Thursdays , you are denying yourself a lot of good.
Presently we have been running a series on ‘laws of money.’ These are the kinds of teachings that will transform your mind and give you a better status in life. I hereby encourage you to attend these meetings, when you come just ask for PRAISE FAMILY and you will be welcomed. Thanks, we look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

I NEED MONEY
By Daniel Mbatu
Money is essential for living but the problem is people fail to understand that there are principles behind everything created in life. VALUE in wealth creation cannot be under-estimated. Money only flows towards the direction of VALUE. That is why a man's wealth is always a function of the level of value he is able to create. This principle is based on five key points, highlighted below:
Value: To have more money, we ought to know what money is. In the past, there is no such thing as money; we simply barter the things that we want. Money is used as a measurement of value. Therefore money is a value. So in order to earn more money, one has to create more value. The more value you create the more money you will earn. With this in mind, evaluate the business that you are doing or about to do. Are you creating great value to your customers?
Value could be in the form of answering a question, solving a problem or giving direction to the confused. In what so ever format it may be; it has the potential of bringing wealth especially when its intentions are genuine.
Wealth Creation = Value.
Audience: Creating value is extremely important, but your earning will be limited by your number of audiences (customers, prospects). Audience here talks about your reach, your market; targeted market. We took a step further from just creating value to the audience you want to reach. Audience can also be described as your network. David Oyedepo in one of his books said “your network determines your net worth”. The audience you are able to reach with the value you have will also determine the wealth you are able to create. For example, reaching 100 persons that are willing to pay N500 for a value you offer is different from 500 willing to pay N250. Here. We will say that Wealth Creation = value x Audience. Is your business capable of reaching the masses? Some of the channels you can use to get audience is the Internet, print media and any form of media
Wealth Creation = Creating Values X Audience
Leverage: Leveraging is the key to multiply your business. Leverage is like an advantage gained by being in a position to use something. This means, we could create more wealth with the help of some external tools like people, finances and any other resources. There are many forms of Leveraging but we would restrain ourselves to the use of people. The bible says one will chase a thousand and two will chase ten thousand and not two thousand. Two good heads are better than one they say, right? Yes. We will definitely achieve more when we have people working with us or for us (the former is always better). What would have taken you ages to do will be done in few hours and mistakes could also be minimized because of the quality of inputs you might get from other parties.
Wealth Creation = Creating Values X Audience X Leverage
Uniqueness: Uniqueness is simply standing out. Being different from the crowd. It will be difficult for you to break and penetrate an existing market for example if you don't carve a niche for yourself. The most outstanding person always gets or attracts the most wealth. You need to ask yourself these questions: what makes me different form Mr. A? Why would a client come to me? What would make somebody travel a long distance to patronize me? And you must be conscious of this fact if you must create wealth.
When you have a unique business; you control two (2) important areas. They are the prices or rates of your products and the location of your business. When you have a unique business, people come to you and you control the prices!
Wealth Creation = Creating Values X Audience X Leverage X Uniqueness
Efficiency: Efficiency in general describes the extent to which time or effort is well used for the intended task or purpose. This place more emphasis on you. How well are you grounded in what you are doing; how serious are you; How much time do you put into it; and many more questions will determine how efficient you are? When you are more efficient, you can reach your goals faster.
In what scenarios, will you be most efficient? Basically, when you are doing a business that (1) you enjoy and (2) you are good at. Choose a business that you are passionate about; this is when works meet play and you need not work another single day.
Your strengths or your full potential when fully unleashed will bring your business further as your strengths in most cases are many times greater than your weakness.
Your level of efficiency will ultimately keep you in wealth and create more wealth for you at the long run.
Wealth Creation = Creating Values X Audience X Leverage X Uniqueness X Efficiency
In conclusion, 'There are no successful businesses; there are only successful people'. The only way to have a permanent successful business (wealth creation) is to be a successful person.
Stay focus and stay successful.
