Ecclesiastes 4:9
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work”
It takes more than one to do anything big. None of us is better than all of us. The higher you go in life, you realize that one is insufficient. In the wisdom of God, he created people in their uniqueness to compliment, complete and help each other.
If you find anybody doing better than you are, it is God using the person to remind you that you can also do better!
For example, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was one of the pioneers of advanced digital media in preaching the gospel in Nigeria. Instead of getting envious of him or attacking him, learn from him and add to what you know in order to become better to your audience.
God allows certain people to rise up so that you can rise out of the shell that limits you. Learn from your role models and become even better than them. If you stop being jealous, you can catch up.
COMMON SENSE is essential for building qualitative relationships. It is the reason why some people excel in their relationships while others don’t. God expects us grow. We cannot remain the same size of way we used to be at birth. Our growth from childhood till date required the interplay of several individuals, similarly anything we want to grow requires more than one person.
Every successful person you see in life has common sense for relationships.
“Your Soloism is the reason for narrowism”. Your life will remain narrow if you remain solo. You cannot be the coach, player, goal keeper, medic and everything all by yourself.
Genesis 1:26 – ” Then God said, ‘Let us…”
The keyword there is “us”. The reason you’ve not been able to do mind blowing things is because you say “let me instead of let us”. Sometimes, your desire for accolades is the reason why you’ll never get one.
Headship requires honor even if the man has no equal results.
The presence of common sense is the reason why many people accomplish great success absence of common sense is the reason why many people never build great success.
Remember that people with common sense have the following in common;
- Common interests
- Unconditional acceptance
- Celebrate uniqueness
- Value relationships
Mathew 6:26 “look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more VALUABLE than they?”
We will never maximize our potential as a people until we value each people.
- Value people daily.
- Find new ways to value people daily.
- Look for ways to add value daily.
- Do things that add value to people daily.
- Encourage others to add value to people.
You cannot add value to anybody’s life until you let Jesus add value to yours.
