At our First Sunday service – 2nd July, 2017 at our Real Success Seminar where Pastor Francis Madojemu taught on Habit 6 – “Synergize”. He said God actually has a sense of humour, as he chose topics to treat for the month, year etc. He never knew what state we will be in as a country now – states, biafra and all that, but this topic slapped him in the face as God knows all things and allowed him to choose the topic Synergize as the topic to be treated this month of July. It synergies all other habits except habit 7 – Sharpen the Saw.
He said he remembered 2012 fuel scarcity and what he said then that it is not a fuel subsidy fight but he started with a premise on that day about Mother Teresa who was called to take a stand /demonstration against war but that Mother Teresa said she stand for peace and not for war or anything. This should be the position of all Christians as been against something does not make you accomplish it, you can not be against things all the time, because there is no vacuum in the realm of the spirit or in life. We are to stand for something – light and that means you are automatically against darkness.
Pastor Francis Madojemu showed a picture of two black boys carrying a book from the Barrack Obama book – The Audacity of Hope which means the black boys can dream again. However, Stephen Covey wrote that Albeit Einstein says the significance problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with the way it was created. Whatever has caused whatever problems you and I are facing in all areas of life and country right now can not be solved at the same level of thinking it was created. And this can be solved in a way that will be benefit us all. A video on “The 3rd Alternative” by Stephen Covey was played for us to learn from.
We should not make the present situation like the fight for fuel subsidy in 2012. He said there is an Holy Ghost way of resolving issues and this is what we should insist on. The concept of this Synergy will work for all areas of life and country and that is why we will be treating all the subtopics under it – Nigeria, Family, Work, Life generally and the last Sunday will be an interactive service. We should ask ourselves that is there a way of resolving issues that we will both bless the people involved.
We are not synergizing the way we should. We act different to think different .The biggest problems that churches have is that we want to change the world through teaching but we are to demonstrate the life of excellence. We are not to fight or flee but there is always a third way which is neither fighting or fleeing. We must find a third way of leaving together in this country. We can not help the poor by destroying the rich. Paying Tax or Tithe is a way of contributing to the world at large. What people really need is opportunity because opportunity meeting preparation is success, we need to ask for opportunity and be prepared.Another video was played about the country Mauritius which can be achieved in our country.
We live together, intermingled and we are all from different places in Nigeria, this is my challenge – we act neutral when things are happening, so far it does not come near us. But you are a christian and this is why we need to do something even if it is just to talk to God about this situation we are in. We are together for a reason and need to live together properly as God wants us to.
Comment:
Mr. Banwo Smith said we are all from different places, worked in different places and married from other places too but we are all Nigerians. We must stay to together as one, make up our mind as to what type of country we want and bend a little to accommodate ourselves to live a better lives together. We should be prepared to play our part, it is not them versus us, we are all in this together.
Pastor Kunle Akinwale also said that any time he prayed about this our Country, he always hear the Holy Spirit saying that who will do it if not You and I. It is easier to fight to live but harder to stay together. Help me to fight for the synergy of this country of ours.
