CONNECTION VS INFLUENCE- James Abiona

Wanting to meet great people is called connection while great people willing to meet you is called influence. It better to be highly sought after than chasing men up and down.

God warned never to do any of these 3 things when I got into Abuja 11 years ago:
1: Never open a Church.
2: Never do prayer contract or spiritual consultation for politicians.
3: Never give or take bribes.

Whao, 11 years have rolled keeping these rules. It’s not easy because am really gifted in 1 and 2.

The rich also cry and they have big issues and they look for solutions ready to pay in premium whosoever solve their problems.

I don’t know how to wait endlessly for any mortal. I give huge respect to people but I fear none.

Its better to be influential than to be looking for connection. It’s not who you know that counts but who you have become while minding your business.

If only you can spend the time you spent waiting and chase men for personal development; you will soon be highly sought after.

Building capacity sufficiently in a corner like John the Baptist and our Lord Jesus Christ is the secret to gaining unprecedented breakthroughs amongst men.

Each time I look back and see all hours I have invested in me reading, praying, writing, researching, observing, meditating….it pays at the long run.

Yes I know there are bills to pay but God always sees to it in your wilderness that he provides manna.
