WISDOM'S ARENA

“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”  John 9:4 (KJV) Hi folks, it is good to be back and I trust you had a fruitful week, today we want to continue our journey on productivity; we want to focus on what exactly is productivity. This topic brings to mind an experience a former colleague at work told me some few year ago. This colleague is a British of Ghanaian parentage, her experience was about the rude shock she had the first time she arrived in Ghana as a working class adult.  Having grown up in England, a country where time is valued as the most important resource, generally people spend time doing things that are productive to them. People live to work or engage in things that add on to them, the system doesn’t promote those who idle around.

The case of DR Congo on one hand and Belgium on the other hand never ceases to amaze me. DR Congo (DRC), a country in Central Africa has one of the richest ecosystem in the world in terms of natural resources; it is believed that about 30% of the world’s sought after minerals can be found in the DRC. This country has an untapped potential to produce enough hydroelectric power to drive the economies of most countries in the central Africa republ

Hi folks, all so soon we have come to the end of this journey and I hope you have been blessed, but before we sign off I want us to take a look at some facts about what we just looked at, so as to refresh our memory and probably clear any doubts in our minds. 1.        Assignment determines Duration - Your assignment on earth determines the duration you spend in your preparatory process – Just like the introductory story about the pregnant dog and the pregnant elephant, the duration one spends at a particular stage hinges on the assignment we are supposed to fulfill on earth. I saw this quote on a friends facebook page and I quote      “Noah – waited 120 years before the predicted rains arrived, Abraham waited for 25 years for a promised son and Joseph waited for 14 years in prison for a crime he did not ” So it will be unhealthy on our part to be comparing ourselves with others, the bible says that “those who compare themselves with others are not wise” , however, you ca
