Beautiful Tuesday morning.

Let's pray,,,.........

"Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, acknowledging Your sovereignty over our lives. As we prepare to engage in today's activities, we seek Your wisdom to discern right from wrong, Your grace to navigate challenges with humility, and Your peace to calm our hearts amidst uncertainties.

Grant us the strength to persevere in our tasks, the compassion to serve others selflessly, and the courage to stand firm in our convictions. May Your word be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path, guiding us in all that we do.

Help us to walk in love, to forgive as You have forgiven us, and to extend grace to those we encounter. Let our actions be a reflection of Your love and goodness, drawing others closer to You.

Protect us from harm and danger, and shield us from the schemes of the enemy. Cover us with Your mighty hand and surround us with Your angels.

May our work today bring glory to Your name and further Your kingdom here on earth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Friends...

Beautiful Friday morning.

I pray for you this morning that everlasting Blessings, Protection, Mercy, Favour and Sound Health shall be upon our life and every member of our family. Every shame and reproach or every evil that has been programmed against us or any member of our family shall return back to the sender.

This morning God's Mercy and Grace will continually speaks for us all the days of our life. We will never experience any failure in Jesus name.

Matthew 2:19. But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,_

I decree this morning, Whose presence that is stopping us from fulfilling our God given destiny, the Almighty God will take them out of our way in Jesus' name.

Who is saying we will not shine in their life time, they will become the sacrifice of our shining and we will fulfill our God giving destiny in Jesus' name. Amen.

Have a nice day and remain blessed.

Leadership is inborn

Sir, I respect your talent and gift.

People often ask me, TOE how do I learn leadership. Should I go on a course? Buy a book? Get a mentor? Are leaders born, or can you become a leader?

Just as I say about business success, leadership has many components – luck and being in the right place at the right time. But I also believe that those talents and those disciplines that you bring, creating a vision and the resilience and focus that delivers that vision, can also forge your own personal leadership.

I was fortunate to work with Chief Ebitimi Banigo, at the start of my career. My leadership philosophy was built working with him. It started with Chief Banigo taking the time to read my application letter and giving me a chance to prove myself at Allstates Trust Bank in 1988. When my colleagues tell me today, “TOE you respond too fast to our emails”, I laugh because I learnt from the master himself – Chief Banigo. When I sent memos to him, he would respond within twenty-four hours; therefore, why should I not respond even faster in this age of technology?

These are some of the leadership values I learned from my time with Chief Banigo, and I practise them all today.

1. Leaders must demand excellence: Only by going the extra mile and pushing ourselves, will we truly develop and stand out. Hard work and excellence made my bosses Toyin Akin-Johnson and Ebitimi Banigo notice, and subsequently, believe in me. At twenty-seven, I went from being a trainee to being a boss, when I was appointed a branch manager – the youngest bank branch manager at that time. All the things I learned earlier came into play, and I continued learning.

2. Good leaders find in people, what people did not know they possess – Leaders recognise the talent in their team and then push to unlock the talent. When I work, I work to achieve my goals, but I also work to unlock my team’s skills. I know everyone I work with has huge potential – for me my success is also about the success of others, growing and nurturing their talent, that is the foundation of our growth at Heirs Holdings Group. This focus on talent, teams, personal transformation, is why I am so insistent on creating institutions, cultures, and pathways, where human capital can thrive. It is why I am an investor in businesses, but also entrepreneurs across Africa.

3. Leaders must walk their talk - A leader must be consistent. People want to trust a leader that they believe has integrity. Leadership is not just about telling people what to do, it's also about setting an example. A good leader must lead by example and practice what they preach, this demonstrates integrity, it builds trust and respect.

4. Leaders must impart knowledge: I benefitted from the mentorship of Chief Banigo at Allstates Trust Bank. He helped me to develop my strategic thinking, my frames of reference and to channel my ideas into concrete actions, so that when the moment of opportunity arrived, at the age of thirty-four, I had the self-belief to gather a small group together to take over and revive a failing bank – take that enormous step, that is still shaping an industry and a continent today.

Today, when I am faced with an impossible situation, I ask myself, ‘What Would Chief Banigo Do?’. I worked with Chief Banigo from 1988 - 1995, till this day, he is the one I turn to when I need advice.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

Jas.4.1 - From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Jas.4.2 - Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Jas.4.3 - Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Jas.4.4 - Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Jas.4.5 - Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Jas.4.6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Jas.4.7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas.4.8 - Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Jas.4.9 - Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Jas.4.10 - Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Jas.4.11 - Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Jas.4.12 - There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Jas.4.13 - Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Jas.4.14 - Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Jas.4.15 - For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Jas.4.16 - But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Jas.4.17 - Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
