POSITIVE IMPACT, POPULARITY AND YOUNG PEOPLE
Thanks for logging in today on this subject. I hope this post meets you well.
I see a misconception in our society today especially among young people.
There is a battle between IMPACT AND POPULARITY. There tends to be a conflict in ideology and definition

IMPACT
It means to have a direct effect on: impinge on: to strike forcefully
Also it connotes the force of impression of one thing on another: a significant or major effect

Positive Impact means having a positive impression, influence, effect on a person, environment, community or organization

Popularity
Is a state of being popular, suitable, commonly liked or approved by the general public.

What's the relationship between IMPACT AND FAME?
Positive Impact with time produces fame. Positive Impact will always give birth to some measures of fame. While Fame on the other hand cannot be a yardstick for measuring positive impact. Fame is an end product.

I must confess that both are good, pleasurable and can be found in God

It’s possible to make positive impact and not be “really popular”! David killed a lion and a bear in the wilderness, No one celebrated him but Samson killed a lion with his hands (Just like David) and the entire world declared him –THE STRONGEST MAN.

As I move around, I find people with great talents, discipline and profound impact that are not so popular as it were.

BALANCE
To equate both, or use one as a parameter for the other ALL THE TIME is deception.


COUNSEL
Pursue positive impact not fame. Actually, fame ought to be a bye-product of impact. When attention moves from impact to fame, doom is inevitable. This is the reason why some celebrities are frustrated, their personal lives are full of emptiness and eventually they turn to drugs, illicit sex etc.


My dear people, maintaining popularity is a rat race you will never win.
Do you know what it means to be pointed at as you move along the streets, multiple greetings in the banking hall, market places, and the media all over you just looking for a word, dressing or an act for cheap blackmail? If your lifestyle isn't as strong as a brick-wall, rooted in encounters, principles and disciplines of the Spirit, you’ll collapse like a pack of cards


I’ve been privileged to come close to some PROMINIENT people both in their homes and offices; I’ve had countless official, personal meetings and relationships with them.  I observed the secret behind their enduring success. They dissociate themselves from the frivolities and ephemeral pressures of the 'celebrity’s world'


KEEP YOUR EYES ON POSITIVE IMPACT, DEVELOPING YOURSELF, RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND YOU WILL BE A LIVING LEGEND.


Warmest regards
Deep love

DEVELOPING YOUR ORIGINALITY ... (Cont. of maintaining your originality) with Rev Bankole Abioye



Hello friends, it’s awesome to bring to you, life transforming principles on this platform. In the last edition we stated clearly that ‘your value lies in your difference and you don’t need to keep imitating anything or everything that comes to town”. This is founded on the revelation that God made us different and special. He gave us different talents and expects us to use them to complement each other.

Today we will move further with an experience I had on a preaching assignment.
I sat next to my Host pastor, patiently waiting to be called up the podium. A group of music ministers were invited to bless the congregation with a song. As they approached, the Holy Spirit began to speak to me about the lead vocalist. Summarily, the message was that He would have several open doors and favors later in life, HOWEVER His lifestyle and preparation doesn’t correlate with the opportunities waiting for him. HE IS NOT PREPARED, HE IS NOT READY…

SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE CHURCH STAFF MEETINGS


Admin:


I confess.
I used to hate meetings.

In fact I was very vocal about meetings being a waste of time. In most meetings I attended, I daydreamed about a dozen other ways I could be spending my time more productively.

Over time I would discover the problem was not the meeting per se, but the way the meeting was managed. Today I am a shouting proponent of meetings, at least the productive ones. And I have found that church staff persons, whether full-time, part-time, or volunteer, are among the most notorious for having bad staff meetings.

STUDY TIME: God's Instrument for transforming and sustaining the universe from time immemorial is His Word.
