"If you stick to the plan ( God's plan ) you can get ahead in the world."
That is the story from Dalton a man whose faith based approach to the corporate jungle has taken him from being an x-ray technician to becoming a top spot in the medical equipment industry. Against the odd of rising from the street he ended up becoming an Entrepreneur to be reckoned with in his generation. He has been able to navigate the minefields of coperate America and still hold fast to the principles of christian life. He is the Founder and CEO of the innovative medical equipment liquidation and disposition company, reLink Medical. He is also the Founder and Executive Chairman of the world largest medical parts and procurment firm, PartsSource.
According to him, " The bible is reserved for those who knows him and accept his gift and it is available to everyone !" By making use of that availability, you can find answers in life.Dalton can be referred to as a practical example of a "walking the talk" Christisian which is a central tool that contributed to his life success.
God's word is sufficient for every situation thus beneficial to look at life's challenges with a mindset of discovering ways of solving them with biblical principles. What has God prepared you to do, through bad or good and what are the things you can do to bring balance into your life.Dalton based all his principles on Christian ethics and was still able to make it in this perverse world where the truth has been greatly substituted for evil. He was able to break that chain with the application of the right christian principles what a wonderful example.
Dalton is but one out of the many Christians succeding in the circular world amidst all odds, you too can be one of them. As a matter of fact, effective and productive christianity may not necessarily be measured by wealth but you can still be a Christian business leader and walk the talk. Remember, it is God who gives power to make wealth thus make pleasing him your priority and drive as you journey to the top and you can be sure of attaining good success.

You don't get to your place of influence and heavenly significance by complaining and murmuring, the children of Isreal did that in the wilderness and it actually didn't take them to the promise land. Stop complaining, start seeing and believing that the future is better than today cause that's the truth and nothing but the truth. You are the Christian the world needs to see and glorify God. Good morning!!
Turning Point II . contact us via foundationbox@yahoo.com
Looking at the life of so many great men both in and outside the scriptures I have come to understand that they all had something in common; turning point. Jacob for instance would have remained a cheat without the bethel experience not because he did not want to be good.
Isaiah also was a prophet who had being prophesying yet never discovered his uncleanness and unworthiness for mega exploits in the hands of God until the death of king uzziah. Saul would have remained saul if he never had the Damascus road experience and a whole lot of other turning point examples. Even in the circular world, men like Ben Carson,Thomas Edison,James L Kcraft, Charles Babbage, Martin Luther king junior, Nelson Mandela amongst others Would have remained in the hall of mediocrity if they never had a turning point.
So What is turning point? It is the point were you come to the end of your weaknesses and accept the help of God in the form of grace, giving away all activities of what you think, for what God says. Its that point were a man is made up and made fit for exploits via the instrumentality of an inner assistance clothed with determination, zeal and doggedness for exploits. Turning point simply is the point where you can say its "no longer I" it is the point of grace.
If you must fulfil destiny and shine as the light of christ then you must be brought to this run way of take off. It's amazing that Isaiah was still prophesying and showing signs yet had not encountered the turning point experience. This simply means that it goes beyond activities and just being born again to fulfil divine destiny. You must be brought to the point where you don't only know Jesus but constantly beholding him as in "2 cor3:18" exhibit the glory of God. The era is coming and has even come where to effectively make exploit you must be a student of the holy spirit.
You don't have to go through life alone with all those huddles and challenges. All you need do is ask God to bring you to your turning point, the place where with an open face you can behold Christ and be transformed into his image from glory to glory( step by step) all by the spirit of God. Its only at that point that you will start enjoying grace and fulfilment in life. Its actually great to be born again but its sweeter to be led by the spirit with grace and mercy. Get to your turning point today and you will be renamed just like Jacob(Isreal) Abram (Abraham) and Saul (Paul) for mega exploits.

Turning Point I. contact us via foundationbox@yahoo.com
For every man that ever made or will make an impact on the surface of this earth there is a turning point. Considering the fact that no man is born a hero,there exist a particular point ín life where every human being comes face to face with what i call the destiny jet (pre-motion decision) and the action and reaction you make at this point determines your success or failure in life. You may have being there or not but one thing is certain, that after the official visit of this destiny jet which everybody is entitled to it takes the grace of God for it to come back to whoever has failed to board the jet. In simple words, life is well planned for you but there comes a time where you choose to flow through the well planned life for you or deviate to a contrary life of undue hardship and failure at different instances. Which decisions have you made and which decisions are you making now. There is still a place of grace to trace you back to your right track should you have made decisions amiss in the past. Turning point exist in any situation that has to do with time,find your turning point and maximize it now for there your story changes.

A time is coming where,to live a life of impact you must be lead and directed purely by the spirit. The time is already here! Indeed the earnest expectation of the creation awaits the manifestation of the sons of God (for as many as are lead by the spirit of God they are the sons of God). From glory to glory under the leadership of the spirit.
CHARACTER By Samuel Peters
The great wall of China is a series of fortification made of stone, bricks, tamped earth, wood, and other materials generally built along East to West line across the historical Northern boarders of China to protect the Chinese states from raid and invasion. The walls were built as early as the 7<sup>th</sup> century B C, joined together, made bigger and stronger by Qin Shi Huang, (the first Emperor of China)
The great wall had, at its day enhanced defensive characteristics such as watch towers, troop barracks and garrison stations. Within the next hundred years of completion, china was invaded three times because the guards were bribed. Babylon was like the America of today, a world power in its day, strong economically, agriculturally, and most secured kingdom in its days, but Babylon was invaded and defeated by a lesser kingdom, Persia, because Babylonian soldiers and guards were careless and lazy so they slept off. Persia did not need to kill or fight any one to conquer Babylon.
My concern is why these big states and nations were conquered with so much ease, why do strong walls fall with less effort? I have come to discover that these nations spent time and effort building structure and Empires but they failed to build the most important structure which is their people. They built strong, powerful walls and cities with people of questionable character and so the people betrayed their cities. Let me bring it home as we strive to fulfill purpose, destiny, become great, achieve our goals, we get so engrossed in it that we fail to develop our personal character and attitude.
So like china and Babylon, our ill character or attitude may betray us and bring us down. Hard work, skill and diligent works will make us great and successful but sustaining it requires sound character and attitude.
Negative character can be hidden for long but I bet you at the point of greatness, they are the foxes that will spoil your vine.
In conclusion, one may want to ask, how can I identify a negative character or how can a person fix on bad character? My solution is simple:
STEP ONE: To identify fault in your character, you can use these check list.
<ul>
<li>What do I think is wrong about me?</li>
<li>What do I think is good about me?</li>
<li>What do people hate and complain about me?</li>
<li>What do people like and commend about me?</li>
<li>What are my strength and weakness?</li>
</ul>
Answers these check list yourself and then ask at least five random persons around you.
STEP 2: Gather and cumulate the responds then fix them in a table.
ROMANS 13 V.S 12
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" width="638">Put off Put on
Negative Positive
Abstain Engage</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="319">Anger</td>
<td width="319">Peace</td>

</tbody>
</table>
STEP 3:
After you have done these as it is stated in the bible, you abstain from the negative and engage in these positive.
Note: it is a process, not a day job i.e. we continually striving to develop and maintain a positive character.
Finally, the evil habits, character, or attitude you don’t deal with will someday ruin your great wall.
THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD
“ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the light. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.” Mathew 5:14-16.
Serving as light and salt as stated in the passage are some of the major functions the church should perform in the world but it is unfortunate that so many Christians, who actually are the church, exist in the contrary. They are either part of the dark activities of the world or are indirectly contributing to the bitterness and destruction of the world. The church who is to preserve, enhance and illuminate has become the chief bribery agent, top liars and famous cheats all for either fame or money, what an apology. These abnormalities have necessitated this literary piece and it’s my belief that God will reawaken us to our duty (ies) as we go through this piece in Jesus name.
Before we proceed there is need to know that the church is not just that building where you go to worship on weekdays and Sundays, you as a person is the church, thus when we say the church and the world we are simply saying you and the world. If only the Christians will truly rise to their duty post in the various institutions and organisations worldwide, perhaps the malady of today’s world would have being lesser. This ideology of waiting till you become the boss before you start living the right life or even correcting evil Activities around must be brought to a permanent halt. Christianity as God expects from the church is not actually what we are having today. The bible makes it clear that we should let our light
shine before men note the command “let” is not something you do within. It’s a life we live that is visible. I expect us to have already known that every Christian was designed to bring glory to God and one of the basic ways we can bring that to reality is by our works. The bible says that men may see your good works and bring glory to your father in heaven. So you have to work, and not just work but good works. Having known that you have to work, I would like to quickly correct an impression that basically comes to the mind of almost everybody when we talk of good works. It’s true that charity is the greatest of them but aside from charity or added to charity good works could also be well depicted with your lifestyle at your particular location of influence. So stop streamlining your mentality to only charity without living a worthy life
So where is your location of influence?
I often hear people say “i am not a pastor at such I don’t have to carry a big bible about”. And they also say something like “this is a co-operate organisation and not a church so the bible ends with the church.” If I may ask, who is the church? And even if you were “right”, who says you need to carry the book called the bible about before you preach Christ. You see the church is a living river whose course is guided by the word of God, so you must grow to seeing the word as life and not just a book you carry about.
<strong> From that your micro position that seems to be so obscured and unnoticed you can exhibit true Christianity. My heart desire is to see a world where Christians (church) are at the herms of affairs even in the supposed circular world. That desire is not because I just want them to enjoy the cacophony or this ideology that “we too” are at the top but that they may function effectively as change agents, lights of Christ and salt of correction in such positions. Colossians 3:10 emphasises the need for the church to walk worthy of the lord by being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Choose to be fruitful today for you are the light and salt of this world, you are the church of God.

LIVING A LIFE OF IMPACT
Everyday we meet either old or new people. Some we
chat with,some we snob, some we hardly notice and all
that but in all, we made an impression. We often ask
God to make us relevant in our society yet we overlook
the fastest medium to relevance. The impression you
give to people everyday turns out to either make them
better or worse than ever. It may not look real to you
but you can verify; some people talk with you and
never make attempt to ever have any form of
conversation with you again while others keep coming
back after a simple conversation why? Its simply due
to relevance. To one you were relevant(impactful) while
to the other you were irrelevant. You may not
necessarily have all to offer but you must always have
something to offer either in words or in deeds. Nobody
is out to become worse of in the society at such we are
all trying to avoid relationships and whatever it is that
will add nothing positive to us. Knowing this fact, we
must choose to deliberately say words or do things
that are impactful and relevant else we will loose
relevance in our generation. We must learn :
1. Not to take things for granted.
2. Avoid nasty words and unproductive conversations.
3. Always try to see the good part in people.
4. Avoid irrelevant criticisms and encourage
constructive criticism.
If only we will do all the above and every other positive
actions necessary, then will be on our way to
becoming relevant. Remember you are a change agent.
You are best as you
Personally I have had a problem with the issue of mentoring not because mentorship is bad but because of the approach with which people react towards the topic.
Overtime we have had people growing to become personalities that have already being in existence not because they were destined to be so but because they chose to deliberately act and behave like those personalities that have already being in existence. If you have ever been opportune to see a fist of a new born baby you would discover that it is closed, why? It’s simply closed to depict the fact that every human being has got some specific attributes that are peculiar to him or her alone amongst which is their destiny. So when you choose to start acting and behaving like another person you are simply dropping those things that are peculiar to you, only to struggle in sharing the ones that are peculiar to another person.
Of course you should know that there is room for self-development and letting go of some negative habits or traits but that is not to say you should drop your personality all in the bid to become like another person. You see it’s wonderful to have a mentor, like a mentor and even love the characters of a mentor but it is disastrous to end up becoming like the mentor. This is true because you would have only succeeded in becoming a photocopy of an already existing original when you are an original yourself. Why struggle to become a fake?
The character you are celebrating today only became a celebrity because he or she decided to remove the negatives in their lives and develop the positives within them so why not check within you and remove the negativities in you as well as develop the positives that are inherent in you. It will amaze you that the person you are struggling to become like also has some weaknesses that you do not know of at such it’s advisable that you quit trying to become another person as your world is longing for your manifestation. You are a solution to your world if you do not know.
As matter of concern, if there is anybody that you are permitted to copy and emulate it is Jesus. This is because he is the only perfect example. It’s high time you quit trying to be a photocopy as you are best as you. Don’t let that talent of yours die under the shadow of another man’s potentials you are best as you.
