THE WISDOM IN BARCELONIA VERSUS CHELSEA CLASH ON APRIL 24, 2012.

■Don’t ever allow the record of your adversary to scare you. Always rely on your capability and belief in yourself.


■When things turn bad or contrary to plan, don’t lose your head. Be positive and things will finally turn in your favour.

■Learn to always put on a fighting spirit, even when everything is no longer within your control.

■Don’t be in a hurry to write yourself off because you made mistake.

■The strongest giant do fail, if in doubt, ask Messi.

■Your perception at times determines the result you get. Messi never scored against Chelsea, no wonder he wasted a penalty.

■Even when the opposition is more powerful than you are, never lose sight of the ultimate goal. With the goal in mind, a nine man team can deliver the needed result.

■Always remember that it’s not over until the final whistle is blown.

■The fact that you are down does not mean you cannot rise again. “Let him that thinketh he stands; take heed, least he falls.” “My enemies rejoice not over me, when I fall, I will rise again.”

■Understand that the tide do change just as the pendulum keep swinging.

■It’s either you take your chances or regret later.

■Success is a function of so many factors, all the mix must work in your favour for you to celebrate.

■The fact that a particular problem has always defeated you does not mean the trend will continue. Do your homework and the tide will change.

■Concentrate on the now while dreaming of the future. A bird at hand worth more than several others in the bush.

■There is nothing like an impossible task/mission.

■The crown does not last forever.

■Finally, only God last forever. Never lose sight of this as He will not share His glory

Nine Essential Leadership Skills

What basic leadership skills make pastors effective in their ministries? Here are 9 essentials.

Leaders do lead. Many people in positions of religious leadership simply don't lead. The fact is that true leaders do lead. They chart a course, garner the necessary support and resources, and work to succeed.

Leaders lead from a spiritual center. Men and women engaged in ministry are careful to ask God to help them lead from a spiritual center. Today's spiritual leaders must also take the time they need to quietly seek guidance.

Leaders compromise creatively. As soon as a vision is articulated and plans are established, obstacles and roadblocks will occur. They'll seek ways to compromise creatively so that the end goal will still be accomplished.

Leaders deal constructively with conflict. Whenever someone provides leadership, conflicts will arise. Effective leaders learn how to deal constructively with conflicts and maneuver around them.

Leaders are willing to listen. Strong leaders know that listening to others helps them in two ways. First, by hearing what others say, their own vision for the future can be clarified, modified, and intensified. Second, when leaders listen respectfully, even to criticisms, they not only gain additional insight, but often receive the support of the speaker. When leaders listen, people rally around.

Leaders are persistent. When leaders fall, they get back up. Most effective leaders faced disappointments on the road to success. Yet they rose up and moved ahead.

Leaders respond positively to negative situations. The lesson for leadership: There will be delays and detours, but true leaders will not be denied. They respond positively, creatively, and energetically to negative situations.

Leaders practice patience. Patience is the willingness to wait long enough for a process to produce the desired results. Good leaders know that after they've done everything possible to set events in motion, they can't force them along.

Leaders maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Effective leaders are aware of their strengths and alert to their weaknesses. They constantly strive to become even more effective.
