That moment when when all hell is let loose on your matter.
That moment when a pregnant woman is pushing to bring forth her baby.
That moment when Daniel was thrown into the lions den.
That moment when the three Hebrew boys were cast into the furnace heated three times harder.
That moment when Joseph was wrongly accused and imprisoned.
That moment when a young 17 year old David stood before the Philistine giant Goliath.

That’s the moment of TRANSITION~the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another.
Your life is about to take a new turn.
You are just about to experience the next upper atmosphere of your life.
You are a few minutes to enter the new realm of your glory.
Your life is about to change for the better.
So, when you experience the signs of TRANSITION…stay put and doggedly persistent…BOOM…a new DAWN becomes your reality.

“The SMALLEST becomes the GREATEST”~The Mustard Seed
Matthew13:31 31: He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.
32:Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
How can the kingdom of God be referred to as a mustard seed?
Its a seed because the kingdom of God is also referred to as a good seed~ [Matthew 13:24 ~Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:]
The workings of the kingdom of God can be likened unto the workings of a mustard seed.
When it is planted, its the smallest seed but when it germinates and grows up, it becomes the largest tree amongst other garden plant’s.
In the same manner, all we do in our lifetime represents seeds that germinates and grows up to produce fruits that we must harvest at the end of our life’s.
¶ Your words are seeds. ¶ Your actions are seeds. ¶ Your attitude is a seed. ¶ The way you dress is a seed. ¶ The way you approach people is a seed. ¶ Your daily routine’s are seeds. ¶ Your lifestyle is a seed. ¶ The way you treat people is a seed. ¶ Your relationships are seeds.
Almost everything we do on this side of eternity represents seeds.
Seeds must grow and produce according to its kind. So we shall all reap from the seeds we planted all through our lifetime on earth.
Plant good seeds today and everyday, so you can reap good fruits at the end.
I ROAR with Emmanuel Obani ~Episode 10 “Be like the Ceder of Lebanon”
The cedar of Lebanon is a cone-producing tree that can grow up to 120 feet tall (imagine a 10- to 12-story building).
Its branches are wide-spreading, and go straight out horizontally 30 to 50 feet from the trunk. It was known in biblical areas as “the king of trees.”
The Hebrew word for cedar comes from a root word meaning firm. It is known for the “firmness of roots”
Cedar wood is widely known for its wonderful aroma and insect-repelling quality.
The oil inside the wood emits an earthy, woodsy and slightly sweet scent that has made it a favorite choice for hot tubs, saunas and even within the sensory palette of your favorite colognes.
“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon” (Psalm 92:12).
One spectacular character of the ceder tree is that its root grows deeper as tall underground as is the tree on land.
Your focus in life shouldn’t be to achieve in order to impress people but to achieve as a result of outstanding personal improvement lifestyle.
Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1982 to Dušanka and Borislav Vujičić, Serbian immigrants from Yugoslavia.
He was born without fully formed limbs.
According to his autobiography, his mother refused to see him or hold him when the nurse held him in front of her, and she and her husband went out of the hospital and vomited from seeing their son with no limbs, but they eventually accepted the condition and understood it as “God’s plan for their son.
Originally, the toes of one of his feet were fused. An operation was performed to separate the toes so that he could use them as fingers to grab. He refers to it as his chicken drumstick.
After his mother showed him a newspaper article about a woman praying with a severe disability when he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group.
Vujicic graduated from Griffith University at the age of 21 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, with a double major in accountancy and financial planning.
In 2005, Vujicic founded Life Without Limbs, an international non-profit organisation and ministry.
In 2007, he founded Attitude is Altitude, a secular motivational speaking company.
Vujicic starred in the short film The Butterfly Circus. At the 2010 Method Fest Independent Film Festival, he was awarded Best Actor in a Short Film for his starring performance as Will.
“Don’t be AFRAID to be the FIRST”~The Wright Brothers
It was 12 seconds that would change the world forever.
On the cold, windy morning of December 17, 1903, on the sandy dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, a small handful of men gathered around a homemade mechanical contraption of wood and fabric.
They were there to witness the culmination of years of study, trial and error, sweat and sacrifice made by two humble, modest men from Dayton, Ohio.
That day, the Wright Brothers’ dreams of flight would come to fruition, as Orville Wright took to the sky for 12 bumpy seconds.
You saw the vision yourself. No one saw it with you. No one will believe or support you either until you succeed.
Don’t expect people to suddenly fall in love with you and give up their hard earned money to support your supposedly world changing vision.
They will doubt you, ignore you, talk you down, despise you, forsake you, betray you, deny you, try to stop you, withdraw from you, accuse you falsely…..and so on.
Get used to it on your way to actualizing your vision.
Thats the path to greatness. Only few can withstand the humiliation and isolation that resides on the path to greatness.
Never be afraid to STAND ALONE. Even if the whole world is against you.
Stand your ground and match forward in absolute faith and courage…that is the pure line gene of greatness.
If you can stand firm on your vision long enough without giving up or giving in…its only a matter of time…they will gather around you and fight for your attention the way ants hunt for sugar.
In the period from 1878 to 1880 Edison and his associates worked on at least three thousand different theories to develop an efficient incandescent lamp.
Incandescent lamps make light by using electricity to heat a thin strip of material (called a filament) until it gets hot enough to glow.
Many inventors had tried to perfect incandescent lamps to “sub-divide” electric light or make it smaller and
weaker than it was in the existing arc lamps, which were too bright to be used for small spaces such as the rooms of a house.
Edison’s lamp would consist of a filament housed in a glass vacuum bulb. He had his own glass blowing shed where the fragile bulbs were carefully crafted for his experiments.
Edison was trying to come up with a high resistance system that would require far less electrical power than was used for the arc lamps. This could eventually mean small electric lights suitable for home use.
By January 1879, at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, Edison had built his first high resistance, incandescent electric light.
It worked by passing electricity through a thin platinum filament in the glass vacuum bulb, which delayed the filament from melting.
Still, the lamp only burned for a few short hours. In order to improve the bulb, Edison needed all the persistence he had learned years before in his basement laboratory.
He tested thousands and thousands of other materials to use for the filament. He even thought about using tungsten, which is the metal used for light bulb filaments now, but he couldn’t work with it given the tools available at that time.
One day, Edison was sitting in his laboratory absent-mindedly rolling a piece of compressed carbon between his fingers.
He began carbonizing materials to be used for the filament. He tested the carbonized filaments of every plant imaginable, including baywood, boxwood, hickory, cedar, flax, and bamboo. He even contacted biologists who sent him plant fibers from places in the tropics.
Edison acknowledged that the work was tedious and very demanding, especially on his workers helping with the experiments. He always recognized the importance of hard work and determination.
“Before I got through,” he recalled, “I tested no fewer than 6,000 vegetable growths, and ransacked the world for the most suitable filament material.”
“The electric light has caused me the greatest amount of study and has required the most elaborate experiments,” he wrote. “I was never myself discouraged, or inclined to be hopeless of success. I cannot say the same for all my associates.”
“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”
Edison decided to try a carbonized cotton thread filament. When voltage was applied to the completed bulb, it began to radiate a soft orange glow. Just about fifteen hours later, the filament finally burned out.
Further experimentation produced filaments that could burn longer and longer with each test. Patent number 223,898 was given to Edison’s electric lamp.
The Edison lamp from our Attic is dated January 27, 1880. It is a product of the continued improvements Edison made to the 1879 bulb.
Even though it is over a hundred years old, this bulb looks very much like the light bulbs lighting your house right now. The base, or socket, on this 19th century lamp is similar to the ones still used today.
It was one of the most important features of Edison’s lamp and electrical system.
The label on this bulb reads, “New Type Edison Lamp. Patented Jan. 27, 1880 OTHER EDISON PATENTS.”
Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your comprehension ability”, solve maths; memorize things and recall subject matters.
Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and considerate.
Social Quotient (SQ): This is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.
People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go farther in life than those with high IQ but low EQ and SQ.
Most schools capitalize on improving IQ level while EQ and SQ are played down.
A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.
Your EQ represents your character; your SQ represents your charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs but more especially your EQ and SQ.
EQ and SQ make one manage better than the other.
Now there is a 4th one :A new paradigm
The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out without losing your mind. AQ determines who will give up in face of troubles and may abandon their families.
Expose children to other areas of life than academic. They should adore manual work (never use work as a form of punishment), sport and art. Develop their EQ, SQ and AQ.
They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of the parents. Finally, do not prepare the road for the children. Prepare the children for the road.
