Rato's birthday - Forever "21"

Rato celebrated her " Forever 21" birthday last night with some friends and family. It was a joyous occasion eventhough she was still recovering from her operation. It was great to see Barnabas and Bertha bringing their two sons with them eventhough it was a school day. The love and laughter was clearly in abundance and the Lord multiplied the food as there was plenty to go around.

Party hats, party horns was the order of the day and everyone joined in song and dance to celebrate an amazing soul with a beautiful serving attitude. It must be said that we had to sing Happy Birthday twice as Mpho (the 7 years old niece) had to go to bed early for school.

And then there was special performances... Wow is all I can say (The next posts will have links to the videos of the performances). Barnabas and Bertha took centre stage and they led us in song. They had such harmony between each other that it felt like we were in concert.

Eventhough Rato was in a bed clothes, that didn't stop anyone from showing her how much she's loved and appreciated. She means alot to so many people from London, USA, Southern Africa to Canada.

May God bless you with many more!

From a privileged husband,

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...

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,

Earnestly seek Him - Call to change

6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and mthat he rewards those who seek him. I've read this passage a thousand times and it never fails to ring sound doctrine in my heart. Too often I take it for granted that God is not pleased by mere "Lord, Lord" words coming out of my mouth. Too many times I lack effort in putting structures and plans that will drive me towards Him and His grace. I don't often ask myself "How can I grow in drawing near to God?" or "Does my life truly reflects his existence?". It's so easy to get caught up in the "pattern of this world", so easy to be "polluted by this world" David's charge to Solomon (1Chr 28) 9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, zfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be f...
