Psalms 1 - 41

To some Psalms (instruments used during the singing of the worship) is described as bible within bible. A collection of songs of praise written over a period of 1000 years - from Moses to David. Quoted the most in the NT and the OT. For it exposes our hearts and the innest thoughts and feelings that brew as we profess our Lord and Saviour.

Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in trembling. For the Lord our God is majestic. He needs to hounored for he's our refuge and not forget our righteous acts. For we beg God not to punish us in his anger. For cursed is the man who falls in the hand of the living God.

For we need to trust in God's unfailing love and rejoice in his salvation.  For the fool says there's no God. Yet their wickeness will be shown for what it is. For sometimes we feel oppressed from every side. We feel anger brewing in my heart. We're troubled and weak because of the beatings of life. But the Lord is our deliverer, our refuge for the Lord is not far off to save and deliver. Then we shall praise him and exalt his holy name to the nations. For the Lord is my rock.

For the Lord is my Saviour, sheperd and Sovereign King. (Ps 22, 23, 24)

For the Lord alone is the true king. We shall find the mighty king of glory and honour. He is the king of glory. My hope needs to be on Lord all day long. Please Oh lord, don't remember my sins of youth; of my rebelion. Forgive my sins and instruct me in your ways that I may continuously find favour in the eyes of the Lord.

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord for all the days of my life that he may rescue me besides my own father and mother. For the Lord his shelter I only need but wait for Him.

My heart leaps for joy for the Lord is my Saviour and dwells in my heart. The voice of the Lord is majestic and the voice of the Lord needs to be reverred (Ps 29)

His anger last for a moment but his grace last for a lifetime (Ps 30)

Blessed is he whose sin are forgiven for we need to pray to God while you may be found(Ps 32).

Sing with joy and make music to him and sing to him a new song for the Lord loves righteousness and justice. No king is saved by the size of its army. (Ps 33)

Taste and see that the Lord is good. For the fear of the Lord is taught through us keeping from doing evil. (Ps 34)

Even on our bed we plot evil yet God preserves both men and beast (Ps 36)

For like grass they will soon whither but trust in the Lord and the meek will inherit the land. We only need to wait a little while. Better the little the righteous have and the plenty of the wicked. For even a rigteous steps are made firm he might stumble but he doesn't fall. The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord.(Ps 37)
Let me know how fleeting is my life. Each man's life is but a breath (Ps 39)

The law is within my heart. (Ps 40)

Spiritual Intelligence and Leadership

Spiritual Intelligence  is one of the latest buzzwords in the leadership field. It is increasingly recognised that leaders not only need emotional intelligence but also spiritual intelligence. Depending on how we define spiritual leadership, it can be seen as a crucial component of authentic leadership necessary to cope with a dramatically changing world constantly threatened by toxic behaviour. In essence, spiritual intelligence is the quest for better understanding of two key foundation principles of authentic leadership: The inner self : The quest for self-knowledge is a crucial component of inner peace and confidence. Such inner peace is the foundation of authentic behaviour that is not corrupted by compliance with fears, doubts and the corrupted opinion of others. The inner self is a world of self-discovery where the age old question is asked: Who am I? It is the world of seeking after the divine heritage that beats in our souls. The inner self is where we find the c...

My trip back to Europe in ONE word (Part 1/2) - Coronavirus

It was a normal working day on a hot and usually dusty afternoon in Yaounde when I got the call to come and collect my Visa for my upcoming trip to Italy. I was elated. It had been 17 years since I had last seen my foster aunts and cousins. I was beside myself.  I distinctly remember my trip back to wish my father goodbye and how emotional I was because I knew that somehow I will not see him for a long while. I remember the bus trip back to Yaounde and how surreal it all felt (especially since there was a job interview lined up in Munich).   Me on the bus (in the middle of nowhere) on my way back to Yaounde. Clearly I was too excited to sleep (like someone next to me). I was already missing my lovely Cameroon. On the news, the coronavirus (covid-19) was beginning to show its ugly head in Italy and various other neighbouring countries. My aunt even told me to postpone my trip, but it was too late. I was already packed. Don't mess with a black man and his luggage! Me, mysel...
