		<description>Nice piece.
Really love your views on maximisation as regards talents. Really ministered to me.
The issue of competition has many sides to it and we can not totally rule it out no matter where we find ourselves.
Now this is a tricky  and a controversal one: There is such thing as healthy competition and I believe in it...

Cheers with love!</description>

		<description>Wonderful piece, sir! 
I believe it 100%, it agrees with my prayer recently: 

Eccl 9v11 says that: &quot;..the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong nor food to the wise..., but time and chance happens to them all&quot;- may God order my steps daily and help me be prepared for my CHANCE when it comes. 

Take some seconds to pray this too, Ciao!</description>

		<description>This, like the previous articles, has again hit the nail on the head.  Like in all aspects of life, competition cannot be totally ruled out, the negativities notwithstanding.  While not giving a nod to Cainâ€™s devilish behaviour against his brother Abel, it is necessary to note that envy and other vices have been part of life.  People get envious of others for no just reason.  Was it not envy that made the brothers of Joseph to sale him.  The only known offence was that he interpreted his dream in his favour.  However, God, not being human, used the same talent of interpretation of dreams to catapult him to the position of Prime Minister.  Success has a way of attracting good and bad.  People will certainly be envious of others successes while some will also be attracted for good.  These are natural tendencies.  So far there is life, there will always be Cains and Abels.  My advice as in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is that â€œlet the  kite perch and let the eagle perchâ€.  The sky is indeed wide enough to accommodate everyone.

God looks at the inner most part of a man.  God loves a cheerful giver.  He loves someone that gives freely from the bottom of his heart.  God has a way of giving to everyone according to what he can handle.  This reminds me of the era of â€œWonder Banksâ€ or were they investment banks, in Nigeria.   Some people were actually left poorer than they were.  Whether it was Godâ€™s intervention, I donâ€™t know.  Whether the recent global meltdown was Godâ€™s way of re-distributing wealth, I donâ€™t know.  The Bible says that â€œthe poor you will have among youâ€.  This goes to say that come what may, everyone cannot be rich and everyone cannot be poor.  There must be masters and servants even though we all struggle to be among the rich and the masters.  However, we should all strife to maximize positively the potential God has deposited in us.  John advised in Luke 3:8 â€œâ€¦..The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the sameâ€.  Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  Remember the needy.  When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.  I was surprised when I saw the blind as they lined up to â€œseeâ€ and pay their last respect to the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi.
Consider the advice in Ecclesiastes 5:10-15 â€œWhoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.  This too is meaningless.  As goods increase, so do those who consume them.  And what benefit are they to the owner except to feast his eyes on them?  The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of a rich an permits him no sleep.  I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:  wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner, or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when he has a son there is nothing left for him.  Naked a man comes from his motherâ€™s womb, and as he comes, so he departs.  He takes nothing from his labour that he can carry in his handâ€.</description>
