*_CLASS OF ONE_* I was thinking this morning..... about our speed in this race of life. Last Saturday, I was privileged to attend the wedding of the daughter of my good friend and former classmate in College. As I sat as part of the guests at the reception, listening to the proud MOB (mother of the bride) giving her speech, I reflected on how far we've come as former classmates in school. I considered how her children are of marriageable age (the youngest just turned 20), while mine are still teenagers and so. I recalled another classmate of ours whose son just graduated as a medical doctor, but our other friend's son was just about to enter Secondary school. As I pondered on why it seemed some are lagging behind, the face of another of our classmates flashed by and I was reminded that his children are still in Nursery school While some of my classmates are yet to find their missing ribs. At this point, it dawned on me that though we were all classmates and graduated together the same year, life has shuffled us and placed us in different classes today. We were classmates in school, but not classmates in life. Everyone has his unique class. I concluded that in the school of life there are no classmates because Life is a class of one. *Life is a class of one. Hmm!!! That conclusion held me down for a bit. Ten years after I got employed in my dream job, getting a second promotion became a prayer point. One day, a colleague that we came in together on the same level walked up to me and said 'brother' na wa o! We came in together and I have gotten three promotions and you, just one. Is there something you are not doing?' I left him feeling bad but not for long because soon after, I realized that in the school of life there are no classmates. Life is a class of one. He is on his path while I am on mine. Just 3years after that, I became his boss. 🤷🏽‍♂️ *Have you considered why from the same branch of a tree you have both ripe and unripe fruits? The seeds were released same time and exposed to the same nutrients and environmental conditions but yet some ripen before others. Identical twins that deliberately wait for each other to be in the same class, engage in the same business-like P-Square (Peter and Paul Mburu), and even wed on the same day, will not get their wives pregnant on the same day. Life is a differentiator. My mind is made up that Life is a class of one. *If it is true that in the school of life there are no classmates because Life is a class of one, then why do we look at one another and feel inadequate, like we are not where we should be? Why would someone that has been privileged to be in a somewhat lofty position look down on others like he is superior in some way? Life is a class of one. I am in my class for now (it can always change) and you are in yours. Do not sweat over the class others are in because there are no classmates in life. If you like, give yourself double promotion as we do in those days, life will eventually place you in the class you are meant to be. Do not compare yourself with anyone, because you are in a class of one.~ *There are no classmates in life. The race is not for the swift, nor the battle for the strong but time, grace, and opportunities happen to them all. May our journey in life not be delayed and may the journey to our destiny not be cut short.🙏 - *~Hate no one~* - *~Envy no one~* - *TRUST IN GOD & DON'T BE LAZY. Let's ponder on this as we journey through life.

2025 is not the year to focus on haters, critics or gossipers, but the year to focus on God and your assignment. Have a blissful morning #fruitfulyear

*LEADERSHIP AND SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY* *Opening Counsel:* Leadership is a very serious business! If you don't want your weaknesses to surface, you shouldn't aspire to become a leader. Truth is, leadership will expose your strengths and weaknesses. *As a pastor and leader, one of the most important aspects of your role is to lead your congregation with wisdom, compassion, and spiritual sensitivity.* Leadership in the church is not just about making decisions or giving orders, but about guiding and inspiring others to grow in their faith and relationship with God. In the Bible, we see many examples of strong and effective leaders who were also deeply connected to God and His will. One such example is King David, who was described as a man after God's own heart *(1 Samuel 13:14).* David's leadership was marked by his humility, courage, and unwavering trust in God, even in the face of great challenges. In the New Testament, we see Jesus as the ultimate example of a leader who was both powerful and sensitive to the needs of those around Him. Jesus' leadership was marked by His love, compassion, and willingness to serve others, even to the point of sacrificing His own life for the salvation of humanity. That means it is important to emulate the leadership qualities of these biblical figures by being humble, courageous, and compassionate in your interactions with others. It is also crucial to cultivate a deep spiritual sensitivity that allows you to discern God's will and lead your congregation in accordance with His plan. One key aspect of spiritual sensitivity in leadership is the ability to listen to the voice of God through prayer, meditation, and study of the Scriptures. *In Psalm 46:10,* we are reminded to "Be still, and know that I am God." This verse encourages us to quiet our minds and hearts in order to hear God's voice and receive His guidance. Another important aspect of spiritual sensitivity is the ability to empathize with the struggles and challenges faced by members of your congregation. *In Romans 12:15,* we are instructed to "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." This verse reminds us to be present and supportive to those in need, showing them the love and compassion of Christ. *Let's see 10 Steps to Spiritual Sensitivity to great Leadership in the Church:* 1. *Seek God's guidance through prayer and meditation on His Word* - James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." 2. *Cultivate a heart of humility and servanthood* - Philippians 2:3-4 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." 3. *Practice active listening and empathy towards others* - James 1:19 "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." 4. *Lead by example and live a life of integrity* - Proverbs 11:3 "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." 5. *Foster a spirit of unity and harmony among the church members* - Ephesians 4:3 "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." 6. *Be open to feedback and constructive criticism* - Proverbs 15:31 "Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise." 7. *Encourage and empower others to use their spiritual gifts for the benefit of the church* - 1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." 8. *Practice forgiveness and reconciliation in times of conflict* - Colossians 3:13 "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." 9. *Stay grounded in the Word of God and seek His wisdom in all decisions* - Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." 10. *Continually seek to grow in spiritual maturity and deepen your relationship with God* - 2 Peter 3:18 "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." *Conclusion:* By following these steps to spiritual sensitivity and great leadership in the church, we can strive to lead with humility, integrity, and love, ultimately glorifying God and building up His kingdom on earth. May we always seek His guidance and wisdom in all that we do, trusting in His plan for us and the church. #goodsuccess #happyweekend

The best leaders are the ones who take the best from what they have learned from the good, the bad, and the ugly of the circumstances they faced and use them to build their capacity for greater service. *Great leaders take available information and transform it into valuable inspiration, motivation, and guidance for the greater good and benefit of everyone.* They can only do these by learning from other leaders. #goodsuccess
