God is Faithful, He will never let you be tempted beyond your strength...

ADVICE TO ALL 👉 EMPLOYEES :

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house after 50 is not an achievement. Let all your family have good time in your house, build more memories in your home.

2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority.

3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal.
development.

4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda.

5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain.

6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run.

7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip.

8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.

9. Keep your life, marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important.

10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves.

11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out.

12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when any eventuality occurs.

13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement..If it means you spend it all holding a remote control watching series on Zee world, expect nothing different after retirement.

14. Start a project whilst still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn't do well, start another one till it's running viably. When your project is viably running then retire to manage your business. Most people or pensioners fail in life because they retire to start a project instead of retiring to run a project.

15. Pension money is not for starting a project or buy a stand or build a house but it's money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health. Pension money is not for paying school fees or marrying a young wife but to look after yourself.

16. Always remember, when you retire never be a case study for living a miserable life after retirement but be a role model for colleagues to think of retiring too.

17. Don't retire just because you are finished or you are now a burden to the company and just wait for your day to die. Retire young or whilst energetic to enjoy waking up for a cup of coffee, enjoy the sun, receive money from your business, visit nice place that you missed and spend good time with family. Those who retire late, spend about 95% of their time at work than with their family and that's why they see it difficult to spend time with their family when they retire but end looking for another job till they die. If they don't get another job, they die early.

18. Retire at your house than at government accommodation so that when you retire you can easily fit into the society that raised you. It's not easy to adjust to live in a location after spending more years at company house or at government house.

19. Never let your employment benefits make you forget about your retirement. Employment benefits are just meant to make you relax, get finished whilst time is moving. Remember when you retire no one will call you boss if you don't have a viable business.

20. Don't hate to retire because one day you will retire either voluntarily or involuntarily

WHY WE NEED PROPER HERMENEUTICS

Acts 8:30-33 New Century Version (NCV)

So when Philip ran toward the chariot, he heard the man reading from Isaiah the prophet. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” He answered, “How can I understand unless someone explains it to me?” Then he invited Philip to climb in and sit with him.

KEY: “How can I understand unless someone explains it to me?”

Do not just read your Bible to get a sermon but read your Bible to know what it says that you can live it and in this way your life becomes a powerful sermon

2 Timothy 4:1-5
New King James Version
Preach the Word
4 I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Quote from the audio message, "The Helmet of Hope."
I have been for years with missionaries and full-time Christian workers. I would say one out of five missionaries has a serious problem in the realm of the mind. I can look back on the past and remember missionaries that were qualified, trained, equipped, dedicated, but many times for long periods they were laid aside by problems in their mind. Doubt, unbelief, fear, despair, torment. God has an answer. The answer is: If you’re demon-tormented, get set free from the demon. But then remember that’s only the beginning of the process. After that, there’s the process of retraining your reactions, your habits, your thought patterns, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
When you begin to get restless and edgy and react wrong and easily—stop and say, “What am I doing wrong? Something’s got in that shouldn’t be there. I’m projecting my mind in the wrong thought channels. I’m beginning to go back on my consecration, my dedication, my faith.” But remember, there’s a reason. Remember that God has made full provision. Take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, stand. I like that order. First, withstand and then stand. Every time I make a major new commitment for Christ the forces of Satan are turned loose against me. This is invariable, it’s one sure sign that I’m moving in the will of God. I’ve learned what to do. Withstand. Withstand, and then when the tempest subsides you’re left standing. The ground you’ve occupied is secure under your feet. But there always will be the need to withstand. You cannot withstand effectively with an unprotected mind.
So, let me tell you this again. Take the helmet of salvation, which is the helmet of hope. Put it on, cover your mind, protect your thoughts, bring your thoughts under control and discipline in line with the Word of God.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 The Message (MSG)
“That’s right. The time is coming when I will make a brand-new covenant with Israel and Judah. It won’t be a repeat of the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant even though I did my part as their Master.” GOD’s Decree. “This is the brand-new covenant that I will make with Israel when the time comes. I will put my law within them—write it on their hearts!—and be their God. And they will be my people. They will no longer go around setting up schools to teach each other about GOD. They’ll know me firsthand, the dull and the bright, the smart and the slow. I’ll wipe the slate clean for each of them. I’ll forget they ever sinned!” GOD’s Decree.

In you oh Lord I put my trust let not my enemies triumph over me
