“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common, the Lord is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished. 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life. Proverbs 22:1-4 NKJV
Many of you ask how I balance my professional, academic, and spiritual life. The answer is all these are part of my personal life grounded in Matthew 6:33, valuing time and striving for excellence, doing everything I do as unto the Lord, is what has opened doors for me and become a reward for my humility, diligence in serving both the Lord and people. A life lesson I learned at a very young age, and would like to share with those who desire to be effective in the Kingdom of God, underpinned by the love one has for the Lord and the level of submission towards those in a position of authority. Believe it or not, how you conduct yourself says more than what you declare to be, and disciplined leaders will not work with rebels, even though they can tolerate such behaviour to a certain degree, but it will be just a matter of time before they let you go, especially if you have proven to be insolent. “Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; yes, strife and reproach will cease.” Proverbs 22:1-4 NKJV. Therefore, serve with diligence without causing chaos, and or switch to the perspective of Judas!
“But He gives more grace. Therefore, He says:
“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”’ James 4:6 NKJV
