- To avoid mistakes others have made
- To acquire in a week perhaps month, knowledge someone took years to acquire
- Reading is a good habit i used to replace a bad habit
- It is a good use of my time, it has future dividend
- Reading takes me out of my immediate world to a world where i can be whatever i want to be and it is happening in reality all i am imagining
- Reading helps me meditate
Choosing the right book to read is very important, there was a point in my life when i wanted to read but i didn't know what to read. What helped me was i got to met some people who helped me, the first book i read was The Spirit of leadership by Myles Munroe, so you could meet with people who are already walking the path of knowledge.
So my book for this week is Kingdom Principles by Myles Munroe
The whole idea of the book is that Christ came to establish a Kingdom not a religion.
He established his point by stating Jesus' teaching, Jesus never for once mentioned religion.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
Religion has done more harm than good,
Religion preoccupies man until he finds the Kingdom
Religion is what man does until he finds the Kingdom.
Religion prepares man to leave earth; the Kingdom empowers man to dominate earth.
Religion focuses on Heaven; the Kingdom focuses on earth.
Religion is reaching up to God; the Kingdom is God coming down to man. Religion wants to escape earth; the Kingdom impacts, influences and changes earth.
Religion seeks to take earth to Heaven; the Kingdom seeks to bring Heaven to earth.
I agree with his school of thought because Christ didn't come to make us 'Christians' but to make us Christ. We are co heirs with Christ(Romans 8:17) and the word heirs is used in relation with a kingdom not a religion
P.s The hard copy of A-Z of Campus leadership by Femi Tiamiyu was launched today. To get a peak into the book you can download the abridged version at www.livelystone.com.ng
