It's quite a long silence. Not to worry. What's important is WE ARE BACK FOR GOOD. And we thank you for your patronising our blogsite again. We hope it will benefit you the more. In the meantime, our target is a daily post but sometimes all we may realise may be just a weekly post until we are fully restored. Please bear with us. Meet the publisher also at facebook.
One common expectation is that a newer generation should be greater than the older, a new car should be greater than the earlier models. Applying this principle to human development, one of the prayers of most parents is that their children should be greater than them.
However, a fact remains that no new generation will be greater than the old unless that generation strives hard to do so. Pastor Adeboye, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God always prays for us his children that we shall be greater than him. And we all say a very loud 'Amen'. But the reality is that for anyone of us to aspire to be greater than him, we must exceed him in everything:in prayers, in hard work and we must develop a larger vision than his. We must also surpass him as a mult-skilled personality. Failure to attain these, will take us, not above but far below, the ever-busy great man. Yet every day he is setting a new standard!
In relaying this message to my children, I told them, that for them to be greater than me, they must follow the same principle of hard work, risk taking, prayerfulness and their visions must surpass mine. No doubt they must be as multi-skilled as their father is: a preacher, a teacher a writer, a public speaker, a lover of people and a man who is out to attain excellence both in his spiritual and secular activities!
To let them realise this goal, I have made it a point of duty to expose to them what I had done in the past, what I am doing now and what I intend doing in years to come. This is to enable them not only to key in but also to develop larger visions than mine. And everyday, I set new standards too! So they must all understand where I am at any point in time so that they will compare it with their present levels and try to fill the gap.
If you must be greater than the generation before you therefore, you must understudy the generation itself and set higher visions beyond theirs otherwise, you may find yourself only saying 'amen' to best wishes that will never manifest. God bless you.
