14 Strong Lessons From 'Queen of Katwe
1.Poverty is unnecessary and expensive even though it is the experience of billions around the world. 2. "In chess, the little one can become a big one". Strategy is the bridge... Chess is the game of strategy. 3. The strength of your strategy is in the strength of its projections,how many moves ahead can you see? 4.By analyzing the threat and working a great plan we find a safe landing. 5. When you go to see the places you want to be or meet with the people you want to become, your paradigm shifts to be the person you need to become to get there.
6.We can all choose to look for our safe square or stay in the same spot and go through the threat and the normal trend.
7.When you take people up, you always go up with them. 8. You cannot beat the love of a mother who will never give up in ensuring her children win. 9. The greatest victory begins with winning on the inside. 10. Never stop playing. If you don't play you don't win but if you can learn then you can play,the master was once a novice. 11. Your pursuit will be determined by the degree of your drive,hunger or survival. 12. Dwell on your success, and not your failures, giving in to failures heighten your fears while feeding on past success strengthens your confidence.
13. Never surrender! Never ever give up on your dreams. Your dreams will take you great places your fears can never take you. 14.The achievement of a great dream always requires a great level of sacrifice. How willing am I to pay the price of greatness?

DAY 30 OF 30: OF THE 30 DAY GRATITUDE CHALLENGE. THANKFUL FOR LIFE
If you watched a new life arrive in the maternity ward...you can't but be grateful for the precious gift of life!-Emmanuel Ayeni
Today I sit reflecting as I write on board a moving bus and I thank God for the successful completion of this gratitude challenge. If this were a book on gratitude this would be the last chapter,the 30th one.
There is one thing amongst other things, to be grateful for today- LIFE!
There are many analogies from different folks about the wonderful subject of LIFE.Many people say life is a stage, some believe it's a dance, others think life is a market square or a journey... The metaphors are endless...the descriptions are inexhaustible. I am thankful for the opportunity I have been given at life.
Life is a gift, I appreciate God for Life.It is a rare and precious gift which has got no replacement. It is a gift over which we have the choice and will power to do all we want with it.
It is like a field in which we can choose to plant flowers, vegetables, weeds or plant a tree! Life affords us of the power to dream, of hope even when the clouds are dark and seems to hold no light or stars,we can have hope to keep us going long enough until the golden rays of the sun smiles through at the breaking of a brand new day!
Life is beautiful. Life is like a melodious music , Life is different things to different people.
Our entire life is measured in time and seasons,I thank God for the gift of time,indeed time might wound, but time also heals and time redeems.Treasure life, explore, appreciate it and live it to the fullest!
I am Thankful for Life!
What does life means to you kindly share with us in the comments section!
Grateful and Thankful!

It's a wonderful Sunday Morning and today I like to share the Spirituality post from an excerpt from last Sunday Service at my church RCCG House City of Refuge( Twitter: @RCCGCityofrefug)
Enjoy!
MANIFESTATION OF GRACE
By Pastor Ola Olukoyede
@ RCCG CITY OF REFUGE Lagos, Nigeria
Text: Exodus 1:8,11,12, John 14:27
Egypt is symbolic of the world and Israel that of the Kingdom of God. God was training the Isrealites how to recognize the blessings and how also to behave when the blessings come. Grace isn’t without affliction but the capacity to survive the afflictions. GRACE is needed both to survive afflictions and and to also receive the blessing. You need Grace in time of crisis and so you must develop and grow across the different levels of grace.
The 5 Levels of Grace
1. Grace at Conversion: Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
This is the first level of Grace. The grace we received at Conversion.- When we got born again. but we need to grow in grace.
2. Sufficient Level of Grace: 2 Corinthians 12:9
2 Corinthians 12:9
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
As we grow in the Lord. He is interested in us growing from infanthood to adulthood. So we have here sufficient grace because at this level we are exposed to more responsibilities for our spiritual growth and maturity.
3. GREAT GRACE : Great Grace: Acts 4:33
And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.
This is a level at which God begins to do the miracuous through you. A realm of exploits in life and ministry. This level of Grace attracts many things to you that money cannot buy. Some things about grace are best experienced than thought.
4. ABUNDANT GRACE: 2Corinthians 4 verse 15
For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
After the first three levels, you come to a point or level of Abundant Grace. Here, you experience favour an peace no matter what. Certain levels of breakthrough never happen until this level.
5. ALL GRACE. 2 Corinthians 9 verse 8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
This is the realm of sufficiency in all things. This is where you begin to function like Isaac in Genesis 26:3
NOTE!!!
However the entry point into the first and then various levels of Grace is a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. ( YOU might want to pray the sinner's /new birth prayer I shared below)
SINNER’S PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I believe you died in the cross for my sins and rose again the third day. Forgive my many sins wash away my wrong doings with your blood. Come into the my heart and become my Lord and Saviour of my life. Thank you for saving me and filling me with your wonderful Holy Spirit. In Jesus name I pray AMEN!
(If you prayed that prayer I welcome you into God’s own family you might want to inbox me to let me know of your new decision emmandus@yahoo.com)

"There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance."
— Socrates
How do you use the Force of truth to break the hold of ignorance? ‘Ignorance is a disease’ and nothing cures it more than knowledge. Only the force of truth can break the hold of ignorance.
Below are answers that drive these points home. Truth is light. At times you have to just turn it on. Yeah! At times you do things you shouldn't do just because you aren't listening to someone telling you the truth. Or you just haven't told yourself the truth. Turn on the switch! This is the truth and choose to listen.
Ask Questions: It was Dr Mike Murdock who mentioned in his books the importance of asking the right questions. It creates your season, your moment.
Questions facilitate a genuine exchange between the Learned and the Learner, the Informed and the Uninformed. When you ask the quality questions you are on your path to receiving quality answers. Ask right questions from the right source today.The right question is a door way out of the cage of ignorance.
Buy the truth. I remember the wonderful wisdom of King Solomon that advises about the need to buy wisdom, to buy the truth... So most times it will be important that you do buy the truth in books, in seminars, lectures, training and mentorship. Your investment in the truth is one of the greatest good you can do to yourself.
Search for the truth. The truth is like a treasure, you have to search for and find it.
When an organization does not know the truth about productivity and churning out excellent results, it will lack the desired excellent performance and the future will be bleak. But when it engages the knowledge and expertise of a consultant in that area of knowledge there will be a complete turn around.
Step into Greatness!
