*THINK BIG series*
23. *Be Always Relevant (EVERGREEN)*
"For you to be relevant, you must first be doing something relevant". Relevance is what everyone is looking for and you can't be relevant if you are not looking and thinking ahead.
One beautiful thing about a great thinker is the ability to step out of their ideas and critizing it sincerely, which is an hallmark of relevance. To be relevant, it will involve you engaging your mind.
(*Roman. 12:2* "And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].")
Important key notes, your ideas alone are NOT enough to maintain relevance, you need OTHER PEOPLES IDEA (OPI) and you must practically love what you are doing.
1 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers).
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night.
3 And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season; Its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].
*Psalms 1:1-3*
6 The righteous will see it and fear, And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,
7 “Look, [this is] the man who would not make God his strength [his stronghold and fortress], But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Taking refuge in his wealth.”
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.
9 I will thank You forever, because You have done it, [You have rescued me and kept me safe]. I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones. *Psalms 52:6-9*
*Quote:* A leader’s goal is to remain relevant even when time changes. - Israelmore Ayivor
