Power & Prosperity!
Happy is the person who honors the Lord, who takes pleasure in obeying his commands. The good man’s children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed. His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever.
Psalms 112:1-3

A servant and a Leader!
Servant Leader!
We hear many times that Power emanates from the People. This we recognize, especially during elections and voting periods. After that, the men in power, tend to forget it and act in a manner deviating from the servant leader mandate, and become tyrannical masters, rather than the former role. The leader should know better, and should learn to grow up in a different paradigm. A paradigm, where respect and recognition is earned rather than forced by imposition or intimidation. Imposition and intimidation may work for a little while, but after sometime, the people gets immuned to it, turn their back or just abandon the leader. When a leader has no following, what happens, then? A person without a following is nolonger leading anyone- not anymore, other than himself. A true leader is a servant leader. He is a leader, because people in their own volition, give him such honor to lead. That’s why, we say that power emanates from the people. A leader must therefore live up to it and remember to be a servant leader.

Treasures! Treasures!
Spiritual Treasure!
Yet we who have his spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us. We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt but never in despair; there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9

God! Man!
God and Man!
Then God said, “And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small.” So, God created human beings, making them to be like himself.
Genesis 1:26-27

Principles! Principles! Principles!
Why Principles are Important!
Life is full of paradox. It is like being in an ocean or a jungle. A lot of things can happen requiring a decision. If one does not have belief in certain principles, he floats like a Jelly fish, getting carried by the ocean current, wherever it goes, and whenever it likes. It is like, being a ship without a rudder and a compass, and no motive power at all. It is a terrible situation to be in. To live life in full, and be happy, one must believe in good principles to walk thru life. It may create some external challenges, but one is always at peace with his inner self and his Creator. After all, man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God. The man who lives a just life, truly is under the employ of the almighty, and is adequately provided.
