COMMUNITY CAPTAIN
I concluded that though he was not the official king of the town, he was a man of great influence. I described him as his community’s captain. Position is one thing, influence is a different thing altogether.

AVOID CONTEMPT
We must avoid undue familiarity that could breed contempt for the anointing on a life. Contempt can cancel out what a God-sent vessel has to offer.
ASK QUESTIONS
For the sake of our sanity and eternity, it is good to ask questions. Know the ones you follow or allow to speak over your life.
THE PRICE OF IRRESPONSIBILITY
Irresponsibility has a price, and it could be huge sometimes. Dani Alves, the Brazilian football star, will readily admit that this is so.
DISCRETION
It is not wise to make every matter an occasion for outbursts and fight. There is discretion in deferring one’s anger.
NOBLE CAUSE
Joseph was able to pursue a noble cause, yielding his tomb for Jesus. In the same token, he became an agent to fulfil a prophecy that Jesus made His grave with the rich.
THE GOOD LIFE
If you want a good life, there are two temptations that must be avoided. Firstly, avoid building your life on the praise of man. Saul tripped on this. After David slew Goliath, the women became ecstatic.
CONFINES OF THE SPIRIT
Those who do things outside the confines of the Spirit, will have their work burned and lose their reward.
THE SPIRIT OF BABEL
Babel has since become a type of the world system. Christianity stands opposed to the world system through and through. Whereas Babylon idolizes self, Christianity calls for the repudiation of it.
SET GOOD EXAMPLES
Most times, the things that we pass down are done unconsciously. We may not be able to tell how many people we impact, positively or negatively, by our own orientation to life.
