The Weeping Lecturer

In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

The seeker

Obidike, a great philanthropist was a real business man. As a mogul, he doesn't joke with his merchandise. He can be father Christmas when it comes to humanitarian services or charitable work. Beside his affluence, Obidike has this charisma which attracts people's respect.

"chim oh! Obidike is dead," Oby lamented. People wept for his gone too soon.

On the day of his burial during his monument-as he was about to be lied in
state in his burial vault  and repository, the casket began to make a strange noise. Though, people were still crying their eyes out.

It was really unacceptable and unbearable to everyone. How could they have lost such a kind man. People were still in the shock of his sudden demise.

The noise had continued that they decided to open it, the Bishop prayed to subdue the power of the spirit. Then he ordered them to open it, the casket was flung open, behold Obidike was crying and began to confess what he saw. He shared his encounter/experience about eternal life and perpetual suffering in hell fire.

"God gave me a second chance to complete my purpose here on earth; to "empower" as many persons as possible to His own Glory," Obidike testified.

There came chants of praise and adoration. It was indeed a rip-roaring moment, it remained a "mystery" to the people.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself.

You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
