War Room (Movie) Review: Power of Prayer

Image
I decided to write my review about this movie because it saved my life, it got me back to track as a christian.  Elizabeth Jordan (Priscilla Shirer), an appealing wife, mother and land specialists, has become exhausted of always quarreling with her absentminded spouse, Tony (T.C. Stallings), a hard-charging, regularly voyaging pharmaceutical organization rep who might have undermining his brain. However, before she can consider a visit to a separation legal counselor, she has the favorable luck — or, maybe all the more precisely, the phenomenal fortune — to run into Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie), a feisty old woman whose Bible-pounding enthusiasm is pronounced to the point that even Tyler Perry's never-endingly outgoing Madea may observe her to be, well, excessive. (All the real characters in "War Room" are dark, which might be another motivation behind why some thought little of the motion picture's capacity to attract herds to megaplexes.) Miss Clara is unash...

What is the difference between Zuckerberg , Steve Jobs and you

I just finished listening to the key note address and I feel it would be helpful for my dear readers; He is loved by many, loathed by some but few will deny the power of his word. It is infectious! On Saturday, Dr Mensa Otabil Founder of the International Central Gospel Church infected and provoked a mass of young entrepreneurs with yet another signature performance, a destiny changing motivational message that will linger in the minds of many, for many years to come. He was to give a keynote address at Albert Ocran’s springboard convocation programme, but he did far more than that. He planted, watered and nurtured a seed of holy anger in the army of entrepreneurs, hoping that anger will eventually germinate into fruits that will reverse the backwardly suffocating systems, laws and policies in Ghana; systems that served only to frustrate and kill as many dreams and businesses as possible. He used the parable of onions and travolator (a moving pavement for transporting ...

Never Satisfied With Our Dreams

This post was originally posted on my friend's blog here Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20 At times we feel as if we could impress God with all we are trying to do for Him and His church. Yet God has yet to be impressed with even the most grandiose human aspirations (Ps. 8:3-4). You will never set a goal so big or attempt a task so significant that God does not have something far greater that He could do in and through your life. Saul of Tarsus worked harder than anyone else to impress God with his efforts, only to discover that his greatest achievements were but rubbish compared to God?s will for his life (Phil. 3:7-8). Our problem is that we become too easily enamored with our own plans. If we are attempting to do noble or difficult things, we assume that we must be experiencing the maximum potential for our lives and that God must, therefore, be pleased...

The difference between billionaires and the rest of us, a lesson from Steve Jobs

In a Quora thread answering the question "Do billionaires know something that normal people don't?" Patrick Methieson noted a Jobs quote that encapsulates the "billionaire mentality": "Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use." It's something that all wealthy people tend to internalize, explained Methieson, a venture investor who has worked with billionaires: "Billionaires realize that the world is pliable. With enough pressure applied to an endeavor, sufficiently resourceful people really can change the world. Contrast that with the rest of us who are more likely to assume the state of the world as static, or given. " Self-made millionaire Steve Siebold, who interviewed over 1,200 of the world's wealthiest people before writing "How Rich People Think," echoes th...
