LESSONS FROM A MOVIE : THE KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE








MOVIE: THE KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE
I haven’t published movie reviews in a long while on this blog but I have done a couple of some and I will actually use Saturdays from now as an official day for movie reviews. It’s now official! 
Now there had been so much buzz about 50 shades of grey, while I haven’t read the novel i thought we could actually see the movie, but it was stated for a later time and I had read later on how it was banned in Nigerian Cinemas being an erotic movie...I thought there had been much hype about it already, so why wouldn’t the producers make something much more worthwhile for the public..
LESSONS FROM KINGSMAN: SECRET SERVICE
“First of all, here is a short synopsis form IMDB.com
Gary "Eggsy" Unwin (Taron Egerton), whose late father secretly worked for a spy organization, lives in a South London housing estate and seems headed for a life behind bars. However, dapper agent Harry Hart (Colin Firth) recognizes potential in the youth and recruits him to be a trainee in the secret service. Meanwhile, villainous Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) launches a diabolical plan to solve the problem of climate change via a worldwide killing spree.
Initial release: December 13, 2014
Director: Matthew Vaughn
Running time: 129 minutes
Music composed by: Henry Jackman, Matthew Margeson
Screenplay: Jane Goldman, Matthew Vaughn “

I actually didn't know most of the characters except Samuel L. Jackson who acted as Valentine and he actually wasn’t my guy in the movie- He was the bad guy. I was drawn to the movie by the title and also it was the next movie in the time range we had to be at the cinema, and like most movies I have really learnt some lessons from, I didn’t watch it alone.... :)
My first lesson was at the opening, when the special squad was saved by the sacrifice of one of them who quickly defused or rather stopped a suicide bomber from blowing them all up, but at the expense of his own life. Here I learnt that great things will mostly start with a small sacrifice.
The first rule in achieving anything is always Team work. This second lesson was from the scene where the Kingsman organization, scheduled the first training for Eggsy and his other colleagues and they all were after their own survival until a girl got drowned.

The next lesson was when Harry although did not win in the final contest into the organization- because he wasn't going to shoot his dog, but he eventually went on to join a 3 man mission to save the entire planet...

Valentine’s death was a lesson in the power of positive over negative, no matter the extent of damage done; the good will always trumps the bad.
So I think the movie is a great movie.(if you agree say ‘aye!’)
If you have other lessons or views about the movie, I will appreciate if you share them in the comments section.
Cheers!

SPIRITUALITY :Be Willing to Wait








Happy Sunday and today I will like to share a post along the line of spirituality by Gloria Copeland.

Be Willing to Wait

Gloria Copeland



He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles.
Proverbs 21:23, The Amplified Bible


There's just no two ways about it. If you want to live a life of blessing, you're going to have to make your words agree with what God says. Not just for a few hours or a few days, but all the time.

And if you've ever done that, you know it's not easy. As time wears on and the circumstances around you appear to be stubbornly determined to stay in the same miserable condition they've always been in, it's hard to keep on speaking God's Word. But you have to do it if you ever want your harvest of blessing to come in.

When Kenneth started preaching prosperity, I sat out there and listened to him with holes in the bottom of my shoes. We had terrible financial problems but we knew those problems didn't change what the Word of God said. We knew His prosperity promises were true even if we hadn't been able to tap in to them yet. So, even though we felt foolish at times, we just kept on talking about God's generous provision for us.

I realized later that Word went to work for us from the first day we began to believe it and speak it and order our lives according to it. Our prosperity crop began to grow the moment we started putting seeds in the ground. It just took time for them to come up.

The problem is, believers don't last that long. They start planting well enough, but then when they don't see immediate results, when the bank account gets low and rent is past due, they get discouraged and begin to speak words of lack and defeat. They tear up their crop with the words of their own mouths, and they never get to enjoy the fruit of it.

The next time you strike out on faith, whether it's in the financial realm or any other area, keep that in mind. Determine from the beginning that you're not going to let that waiting period discourage you. Then hang on until the Word of God is manifest in your life. Put patience to work and keep your words in line. You will receive your harvest.

Scripture Reading:
Proverbs 18:4-8, 20-21

7 facts you need to Know about Money Mastery









7 facts you need to Know about Money Mastery.




1.Money Mastery isn’t taught in Schools.
No traditional school teaches you about money with regards to Wealth creation, Wealth Multiplication and Wealth management. This is why you need to take concerted effort at investing in your own financial Education.
Financial Intelligence is the key to the vehicle of financial Independence. You raise your earnings by raising your learning with regards to Financial Education.

2.Money Answers to Action
It’s not what you know about money, but what you do with what you know that really matter on your way to hitting it big!
Wake up and see for yourself how much your knowledge has helped you, until you have taken necessary action in certain direction.
You have to do something about your money situation other than worrying to really make any significant headway.

3.Money has got no emotions
You see, money doesn’t respect age, the market place doesn’t care who you are or how old you are. That is why you have teen millionaires and as well as old millionaires, the same is true for the young and old broke people. Money doesn’t come to you by crying about it, this is why you see great investors get over their emotions while investing. The two emotions you will usually need to get past when it comes to money are the emotions of greed and fear.

4. Money Answers to Value
The iron filings will always flow in the direction of pull of the magnetic force. Simply also, money also answers in the direction of value, no matter who provides the value. Money is always a measure of value. Your value addition either solves a problem or creates a solution. If you want more money then learn to add more value by becoming a person of value.

5. Personal Mastery is Vital to Money Mastery
I am always of the belief that Personal Mastery is a prerequisite to money mastery. By developing yourself to a point of excellence especially in line with your financial goals, you become someone who adds value and in turn attracts money and even more money to yourself.


6. Money Mastery is raising your consciousness about money
To gain mastery of money you need to raise your consciousness or financial IQ, especially creasing your knowledge about generating, creating, multiplication, and managing of money. I always believe that what you don’t know can hurt you, but what you know and act on, can change your life in more ways than one, this is why you must invest in your own financial education. You might need to start reading books on investing, pay attention to business news, personal finance blogs or magazines, joining investment groups and so forth.

7. Money is not scarce
There is no scarcity of money. As a matter of fact, there is no justification whatsoever to prove the scarcity of money, instead, there is abundance. You will see that we have enough money to move around in the world. Money exists in abundance, but it only flows to people who understand certain laws regarding how it’s acquired. The earlier you start seeing things from this perspective, the better.

To your Financial Freedom,

Emmanuel Ayeni

RISE TO GREATNESS: What does it mean?

It's a great day and I feel really bad about missing yesterday's post.
Today's post is to share and summarize what I highlighted on the live Mastery Session yesterday on Twitter- #RiseToGreatness. Enjoy !
It's God's desire that we all #RiseToGreatness and great attempts were made to really understand what it entails.

*For goals in #Health and #Fitness or w/e One key to consistency is #TrackingIT. My 110 push-ups today was at 0:00:57:54 #RiseToGreatness
What does it really mean to #RiseToGreatness ??
If you don't know or understand  what you truly seek or pursue, you limit your tendency to achieve it. #RiseToGreatness

When you know what you truly desire, you set clear goals and if you can set it; you definitely will easily #trackIT #RiseToGreatness

What does it mean to #RiseToGreatness in all spheres of life ?

Don't be afraid of Greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness and others have 'it' thrust on them- Shakespeare
#RiseToGreatness
Rising to #Greatness means becoming all that you are capable of becoming. #RiseToGreatness

To raise your life to its next level of Excellence is to Rise to unlimited Greatness  #RiseToGreatness

You #RiseToGreatness when you keep Living your best life ever.

You #RiseToGreatness when you push through the limits.

Amongst other things, #RiseToGreatness is; taking charge of your life, taking responsibilities and grinding your goals to reality.

You #RiseToGreatness when you win the battle of the mind and you never give up after evey failure.
You #RiseToGreatness when you are committed to acting boldly on your God-given,ideas.
You #RiseToGreatness when your success has been duplicated in other people.
I like to read your feedback/comments.

Rise to Greatness.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL
BY Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Date: - Sunday, 15 February 2015
Topic: - God’s Time-Table

Memorise: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. - Ecclesiastes 3:1

Read: (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 KJV)
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 51:1-51 and Acts 26:24-27:12

MESSAGE:
Today’s reading makes it clear that God has a timetable. Obviously, this timetable is tied to a heavenly calendar. The Lord in His infinite wisdom designed the heavens and the earth, and He allotted times and seasons to every plan and purpose. There is some truth to the quote from Shakespeare which says the entire world is a stage. The world began in Genesis and has closely followed the pattern of a drama. The timing of every act, the duration of each scene and the role of each actor strictly follows a divine script written by God Himself. Therefore, there is a time to be born, a time to laugh, a time for war and a time to die. There is a time for salvation, deliverance, and judgment. Also, there is an appointed time for the rise and fall of individuals and nations of the world.
In God’s timetable, there is a time for favour. When the time to favour you comes, you will receive divine intervention like Daniel in the lion’s den. Favour will locate you like David in the wilderness; a higher authority will become interested in your case like Joseph in prison, and all your prayers will be answered. I therefore pray in the Name that is above all other names that your time of favour shall come speedily. When your time of favour comes, the word of God in Romans 8:28 will become reality in your life.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” - Romans 8:28
Moreover, in God’s timetable, there is a time for the fulfilment of prophecy. To be destined for such a glorious position in the agenda of the Almighty God is not a general gift and not by accident. It is usually for a purpose – a divine purpose. When your time of fulfilment of prophecy comes as experienced by Abraham, Jacob, Israel, Joseph, Joshua, Esther, David and Jesus of Nazareth, God will suspend natural laws and break protocols for your sake. He will make ways for you where there is no way. He will make connect you to your destiny–helpers, and your journey to success will be accelerated. May the time for fulfilment of prophecy come quickly in your life in Jesus’ Name.

Prayer point: Father, please let my time of special favour and accelerated fulfilment of prophecy come speedily in Jesus’ Name.

THE TRUE VALENTINE STORY?

It's a great day! I wish everyone a wonderful Valentine day. Whether you choose to celebrate or not. I believe it's a special day for showing love and spreading affection. God is love and true Love is pure. This ought to guide everyone today.
Many factions of stories attempt to trace the origin of Valentine, but which of these is the true valentine story? No matter which faction you believe, love is still the underlying factor. True love is giving and truly forgiving; this is demonstrated by God giving the world His only son for our salvation.
I share an interesting valentine story I read earlier today.
I hope you enjoy it.
Story of St. Valentine
"The story of Valentine's Day begins in the third century with an oppressive Roman emperor and a humble Christian Martyr.   The emperor was Claudius II.   The Christian was Valentinus.
Claudius had ordered all Romans to worship twelve gods, and had made it a crime punishable by death to associate with Christians.   But Valentinus was dedicated to the ideals of Christ; not even the threat of death could keep him from practicing his beliefs.   He was arrested and imprisoned.
During the last weeks of Valentinus's life a remarkable thing happened.   Seeing that he was a man of learning, the jailer asked whether his daughter, Julia, might be brought to Valentinus for lessons.   She had been blind since birth.   Julia was a pretty young girl with a quick mind.   Valentinus read stories of Rome's history to her.   He described the world of nature to her.   He taught her arithmetic and told her about God.  She saw the world through his eyes, trusted his wisdom, and found comfort in his quiet strength.
"Valentinus, does God really hear our prayers?" Julia asked one day.
"Yes, my child, He hears each one."
"Do you know what I pray for every morning and every night?  I pray that I might see.   I want so much to see everything you've told me about!"
"God does what is best for us if we will only believe in Him," Valentinus said.
"Oh, Valentinus, I do believe! I do!"  She knelt and grasped his hand.
They sat quietly together, each praying.   Suddenly there was a brilliant light in the prison cell.   Radiant, Julia screamed, "Valentinus, I can see!  I can see!"
"Praise be to God!"  Valentinus exclaimed, and he knelt in prayer.
On the eve of his death Valentinus wrote a last note to Julia, urging her to stay close to God.   He signed it, "From your Valentine."  His sentence was carried out the next day, February 14, 270 A.D., near a gate that was later named Porta Valentini in his memory.   He was buried at what is now the Church of Praxedes in Rome.   It is said that Julia planted a pink-blossomed almond tree near his grave.   Today, the almond tree remains a symbol of abiding love and friendship.   On each February 14, Saint Valentine's Day, messages of affection, love, and devotion are exchanged around the world."

Let love reign in the world and happy Valentine.

Lots of Love

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL
BY Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Date: - Wednesday, 11 February 2015
Topic: - Sound of Abundant Rain

Memorise: Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. - Zechariah 10:1

Read: (1 Kings 18:41-45 KJV)
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, there is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
45 And it came to pass in the meanwhile, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 43-44 and Acts 24:1-21

MESSAGE:
There is a point in the life of every child of God when the appointed time for the fulfilment of a divine promise arrives. We know as a matter of fact that the word of God is yea and amen. We believe that His word is settled in heaven. We are also certain that heaven and earth may pass away but a dot in His word will not pass away unfulfilled. Nevertheless, as the time of fulfilment of a major prophecy approaches, we may become overwhelmed with suspense and anxiety.
This seems to the case of Elijah in today's reading. Three years before,the prophet had authoritatively declared to king Ahab that there will be no dew nor rain in the land of Israel, except by his word (1 Kings 17:1). Within the three years following that event, God had answered his various requests, and the victory over the prophets of Baal was still fresh in his mind. Yet he knew that if God should send rain at his word, It would be a great accomplishment and the crowning point of his life. It was with this feeling that Elijah approached Mount Carmel for the manifestation of the power of God on the back of God's promise.
There are important lessons to be learnt from the way the prophet handled the situation. First, he exhibited his faith in the Word of God by confidently giving Ahab the assurance to go and start celebrating the coming of the rain. Next is the prophet's attitude to prayer. He decided to put his faith into action through fervent prayers. He was not tempted to leave God to fulfil His own promise.
Thirdly, the sound of abundant rain must have been a sign from God to the prophet, because others could not hear it. He received it with joy as a token that his prayer would be answered, and he announced it to the world by faith. The fourth lesson is that, even though his servant told him "there is nothing" six times, he did not allow discouragement to set in. He knew what God told him, and he held onto it tenaciously. Finally, Prophet Elijah persevered in the place of prayer. He said to his servant "go again", seven times. He continued to watch and pray and finally, there was a great rain. As you tarry in the place of prayer this year, the Lord will answer all your request by fire in Jesus' Name. Always remember this:
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Habakkuk 2:3.

Prayer Point: Father, please let every prophecy and divine promise for my life begin to find fulfilment now in the Name of Jesus.

There are important lessons to be learnt from the way the prophet handled the situation. First, he exhibited his faith in the Word of God by confidently giving Ahab the assurance to go and start celebrating the coming of the rain. Next is the prophet's attitude to prayer. He decided to put his faith into action through fervent prayers. He was not tempted to leave God to fulfil His own promise.
Thirdly, the sound of abundant rain must have been a sign from God to the prophet, because others could not hear it. He received it with joy as a token that his prayer would be answered, and he announced it to the world by faith. The fourth lesson is that, even though his servant told him "there is nothing" six times, he did not allow discouragement to set in. He knew what God told him, and he held onto it tenaciously. Finally, Prophet Elijah persevered in the place of prayer. He said to his servant "go again", seven times. He continued to watch and pray and finally, there was a great rain. As you tarry in the place of prayer this year, the Lord will answer all your request by fire in Jesus' Name. Always remember this:
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Habakkuk 2:3.

Prayer Point: Father, please let every prophecy and divine promise for my life begin to find fulfilment now in the Name of Jesus.

DECIDE TO SUCCEED

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing. "
-- Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States

It's a great day and today I like to encourage you on your journey to success.
Your starting point in the achievement of any worthwhile goal is a strong resolution.
If you have a strong determination and resolve to succeed;You will make it; you  will succeed above all odds.
It's the strong will to succeed that makes you try again until success smiles at you at last.
This strong will to such is what counts at last.

Go for it!

A LITTLE STORY ....

I like to tell a little story that shows how important the value of understanding is.
A man made a journey to a big village and after walking in the hot sun entered the gate and saw different houses,However he saw one which stood out so he asked a man 'who owns this big house?" 'ban fahimce ka' the man replied
In his own language
Wow he must be a rich man the stranger said to himself. So he continued on his journey
When he got to another part of the village, he saw different beautiful women going to stream and asked a woman "whose wives are these. And the woman replied " ban fahimce ka"
Wow! This man must be very great
And after a while he saw many cattle and asked a small boy "who owns this herds of cattle?"
'ban fahimce ka' the boy said
Indeed he must be a rich chief in this village
So he finally arrived at a house where many people were crying and he asked who died? 'ban fahimce ka' he was told.
Then he concluded this man despite all he had just died, what a world..!
But you see,what the stranger realised after a while was that  "ban fahimce ka" was actually no body's name, It only meant "I don't UNDERSTAND you" In their language.

The moral of this story is that, understanding is key to how we interpret issues.

5 GREAT KEYS TO MASTER IN THE NEW YEAR.

5 GREAT KEYS TO MASTER IN THE NEW YEAR.
1.MASTER GOAL SETTING: Mastering the art of goal setting will make this year different from every other year. Goal setting in a nutshell is writing down your life's desires and goals on paper. Writing down your life journey on paper with regards to specifics of duration.
2.MASTER TIME MANAGEMENT: our lives are measured in time and season, when you have the knowledge of times and seasons you come fully prepared knowing what to do per time. Whatever controls your time, controls your life. Time mastery is essential to time management.
3. MASTER CULTIVATING HEALTHY RELARIONSHIPS.
This particular key can unlock for you doors of amazing possibilities, you must learn to reach out to creating strong networks and cultivating healthy relationships. The value of your network is the strength of your networth.
4.Step up on Godliness and Spirituality: Godliness is profitable unto all things. God is the only constant 'K' in the equation of life, every other thing may fail, but God will never fail. Man is a spiritual being that lives in a body and has got a soul. Your spirit yearns for an intimate fellwoship with God, and when you seek God you will find him, He is closer to you than you can ever imagine. Master your spiritual side more this year, it will make all the difference.
5.Develop Skills: You need the mastery of relevant and essential skills, this is your key to paying all bills.Build life skills. Master soft skills,hone the skills you already have and pay attention  to survival skills.

TICKING HAND OF THE CLOCK








The Moving hand of the clock
It ticks; it moves
It doesn't stop, sleep nor rest
It's the moving hand of the clock

The ticking hand of the clock
It can make you rich
It warns the poor
And the rich alike
It doesn't take sides
With either the week nor strong
It's neutral; yet it's busy
The ticking hand of the clock...

MY NIGHT WALKS








It's a great day and for me, I have been blessed by God to be alive and to always want to live life more consciously. I am a member of different business and self-help teams that help me track this.
I woke up today -that was later in the evening about starting my day- or perhaps continue my day.
What i discovered was that , most people were actually retiring from their day when I was about starting mine, i got on to do and complete my over 100 push ups for the day, well,it was done later part of the day but it's still part of my fitness goals- precisely, i did 110 push ups in about 00:51:69 seconds and I took a long walk around the neighborhood while listening to some nice music- Micah Stampley's Heaven on Earth. I have so much, fallen in love with this song, for a couple of weeks now.
My walk around the neighborhood was probably under 25 minutes but I really love it, it affords me some moments of fresh air, and a great deal of thinking or reflection time.
So many thoughts ran through my head, different projects I am working on, my next 30-day blogging challenge beginning from today, my Goals, Career, Family, Spirituality, Business etc and the release of my new book, Travels etc.

Then I thought about the fact that not so many people at work or awake at night, since the night is really made for resting, Only God never sleeps and perhaps a few people
burdened with one thing or the other, perhaps this could be added as another #StandOut factor shared by one of my mentors; he shared some key ideas that could stand any one out in his field on his twitter time line. I believe good use of one's time and perhaps the night time, is another one in the pack,well i will share some tips from that very soon.

So I am back home and I have a long exciting time to catch up on some personal stuffs and to also see that I publish a blog post per day for the next 30 days. Welcome to my next 30-day blogging challenge!

Cheers!
