If we are not willing to be renewed in our minds continually and challenged in our lifestyles, then we probably deserve the label of being a spiritual tombstone: a place for the spiritually dead

Aanpasbaarheid vs weerstandigheid

AANPASBAARHEID vs. Weerstand. Die bereidwilligheid om planne of idees te verander volgens die aanwysings van diegene wat in beheer is. Flexibility

Pyn of Plesier?

Geseend is die buigbare, want hy sal nie breek nie!

Elke mens moet aanpasbaar kan wees in vandag se onvoorspelbare samelewing. Om suksesvol te kan aanpas beteken dat ek my planne of idees moet kan aanpas met die minste inspanning of ontwrigting. Dit is ongelukkig so dat aanpassings moeiliker raak as ons vasgevang is in aardse bekommernisse. Hoe seerder ons kry tydens verandering, hoe meer weet ons dat ons harte te sterk verbind is tot die dinge van hierdie wêreld. "Wees veral versigtig met wat in jou hart omgaan, want dit bepaal jou hele lewe".

Your calling by Os Hillman

Do you ever work at your business and then neglect your family?

WRITTEN BY STEVE MARR
FRIDAY, 2 MARCH 2012

 

King Solomon wrote, "They made me caretaker of the vineyards, but I have not taken care of my own vineyard" (Song of Solomon 1:6).

A promotion at work may be great, and a nice raise always comes in handy. The key is to ensure that our priorities--the Lord, family and then work--are always in proper order. If you are not able to spend time with your family and the Lord, look at adjusting your work schedule, or if necessary, look at changing jobs. Keeping your priorities straight will honor the Lord.

Change Agents Radio talk with Dr Mario Denton

Stagneer , verander of transformeer

Ons lewe in wereld van postmodernisme waar so baie dinge gaan om die persoon self, dat jy maar kan glo wat jy wil solank dit nie ander raak nie, my waarhied is so goed soos jou waarheid en dat dinge maar net relatief begin raak het. Ky maar hoe die media daarin geslaag het onder andere om die definisie van moraliteit, famile en evoluse te begin draai

So die vraag is eenvoudig Is daar behoefte aan nuwe groep transformasie agente en wat sal ons land lyk na 75 jaar as ons nie weer ons geestelike oorspronge her ontdek en waardeer nie. Ons lewe so maklk in ontkenning dat alles maar sal regkom.  

 

 Kanaliseer weer  jou passie om die verskil te wees! Mario Denton bekende bedryfsielkundige is ook die hoof organiseerder en fasiliteerder. Die gesoute markplein leier, Os Hillman baie ervare TGIF stigter, is ons gasspreker vir hierdie opwindende konferensie! REGISTRASIE is oop tot 16 Maart 2012 Os kom besoek spesiaal van Atlanta! Gryp die geleentheid met beide hande!  Skakel ons by 021 en maak die registrasie so gou moontlik

When you see an injustice or bad practice in your company, do you look the other way?

WRITTEN BY STEVE MARR

King Solomon observed, "If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice...in the province, do not be shocked...for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them" (Ecclesiastes 5:8 NASB).

When we see a poor practice in our company, we need to raise the issue first with the person directly involved. State your concern and what change should occur. Then if necessary, respectfully take the matter to that person's boss. Your company will be stronger with your leadership in correcting problems.

Change Agents Conference

How do you define success? A powerful insight from Dr Mario Denton

How do you define Success? Is it the one aim you life for? Don't let success blind you! Strive for daily significance. Remember Success is a function of Hope, Love and Peace
S= F(H x L x P) If one of the elements is 0, the whole formula will be naught.

SAVE THE DATE

Improve your small business

As business school lecturer and consultant I love talking about sessions to facilitate business moving into new challenges. So marketing and strategy, and selling and product knowledge thinking are just great topics. But the recent group of people from Mamelodi and Thembisa really challenged me to think about entrepreneurship in a totally different way.

How do you equip people with the necessary skills that will enable them to take responsibility for themselves, their families and their communities on a sustainable/long-term basis of entrepreneurship?

I presented a Business Matters course program put together by Sibusisiwe Community Care after I had done some research on the topic “Entrepreneurship that prospers”.

A group of delegates were invited by Mathilda Fourie of Moreletta Park. The first two sessions consisted of a discussion of the entrepreneurship calling. After that we talked about the character of an entrepreneur and a good steward. The highlight of the day was using the three God Provides videos, namely Abraham and Isaac, The widow and the oil, and  Jeremiah’s calling. We then discussed these videos with an emphasis on the role of the entrepreneur.

Later that day we did some basic calculations and took all the participants  through concepts like buying, finding the gap, marketing, selling, stock taking and a basic business plan.

WOW! I just love this programme, which can really benefit many entrepreneurs trying to get into the market. I’m looking forward to doing a similar one again. Please contact us if you are interested in assisting us in rolling out a similar seminar.

Your marriage matters, make it last. MMI Conference

AS MARRIAGE goes … so goes our family. As the family goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world.

At our regional conference in Paarl we gathered together to discuss the following:
• The power of prayer
• Getting to the heart of conflict
• Pursuing financial unity
• Pursuing parenting unity
• Building character unity in your life
• Career success and family excellence
• Emotional healing.

To us it was really a fresh encounter with some back-to-basics Kingdom support material and tools to develop marriages and families to make a difference towards their journey of marital and parenting significance. We are ready to repeat this for other regions.

Testimony of one of the delegates:

Career Direct News

I was invited by De Villiers Graaf High School in Villiersdorp to share in their school's presentation for Grade 9's Choosing the appropriate subjects for a chosen Career Path. I had a 30 minute slot which included introducing Career Direct as a reliable programme that will ensure an accurate career choice, matching people with their desires, abilities and talents.

My contribution was very well received, and I expect some follow ups to flow from this.

Thanks for your guidance, support and prayers. Blessings.

TRAINING INTERVENTION BUSINESS BY THE BOOK: Are some pages missing in the way we currently do business?

BUSINESS FORUMS: FAD OR FASHION?

In my experience as business consultant and coach I have been amazed to see that the most learning and growth do not take place at conferences and seminars but in small group sessions.

Our small group sessions are powerful and will equip you as a business leader on your journey to personal, business and marketplace transformation.

Contact me so I can send you this material so that you can start your own group. This is not a fad or fashion but rather a non-negotiable, essential way of continuous growth and accountability.

SOME KINGDOM MESSAGES FOR THE MARKETPLACE: MBA or KBA – What is the difference?

Often in business the focus is on the company, about how much you can make, about your personal success and how to please people. It is also about short-term gain and brings uncertainty, anxiety and stress.

From the Kingdom perspective it is about His company, how much I can give, helping others to achieve, a lasting legacy and about contentment and patience.

Stewardship is to be faithful, prayerful and responsible.

Do you need more info on this? Contact me so I can send you this PowerPoint presentation.

BUSINESS BY THE BOOK SEMINAAR MORELETAPARK PRETORIA. Johan Louw

Geskiedenis is gemaak en die ys is gebreek met die eerste aanbieding van die “Business by the Book” of te wel Bybelse Besigheidsbeginsels in Moreletapark Gemeente. Die 8 persone wat die kursus bygewoon het was vol lof oor die inhoud van die werksboekie en het in hulle kommentare aangedui dat hulle geinspireerd en meer toegerus as voorheen voel, om ‘n verskil in die werksplek te maak. Van die kursusbywoners se kommentare was die volgende: “Die kursus het my oë oopgemaak vir geleenthede waarmee ek God kan verheerlik”

BUSINESS BY THE BOOK GOUE OUE SEMINAAR MET TREFKRAG OOR AL DIE JARE

In die kort oorsig wil ek net weer my getuienis gee oor die jare wat ek die seminaar help aanbied en die waarde wat ek sien in dit. Ek wil ook persone aanmoedig om eerstens dit by te woon wat dit nog nie gedoen het nie, maar ook om leiers te nader om deel van die fakulteit persone te raak wat die seminar verder wil vat en hulle areas wil aanbied.


Waarom is die seminar werklik my gunsteling seminaar oor die jare?

Ek kry greeeld mense wat vra hoe om daaglikse reg op te tree in die werksplek?  En hulle is nie alleen nie.  Menige sakemanne en vroue, werknemers en werkgewers worstel dikwels met die vraagstuk. Dit is juis vir hierdie doel dat die seminaar ontwerp is:  om sakemense te help om Koninkryksbeginsels  te leer ken en toepas vir die eerlike en suksesvolle bedryf van besigheid.

Dit is werklik ‘n vars en uitdagende blik op wat die Here in Sy Woord van besigheid sê.  Oor die jae het ek gereeld agtergekom dat mense gesinspireer is deur die seminaar en ok die praktiese toerusting is baie bevredigend.

Wat dit eenvoudig beteken vir besigheidsmense is die volgende:

God provides in Ghana

Showing God’s provides videos to Full Gospel Group

The two Dvd’s namely the widow and the oil and lifted up have been shown and discuss with about 60 men during their weekly meeting. I have also discuss these videos with the CFM board in Ghana

Invitation to mobilise

At various times during the Reunion, I asked myself why I was really at the conference and what am I going to do with the newly acquired information. These questions kept me awake into the early hours of the morning! I have one serious request at this time: I am trusting God for 100 committed, passionate coordinators that we can train as seminar instructors, small group leaders, stewardship or marketplace coordinators, Career Direct consultants or business forum leaders.

If you would like to get involved, please send an email to mario@crown.org.za or contact our office on +21 979 3198 right now for further details. Additional information can also be obtained by visiting www.crownmarketplace.co.za

The 31St FCCI International Conference Tucson, Arizona

The theme of the 31St FCCI International Conference was “Back to the Basics” and we were not disappointed! FCCI (Fellowship of Companies for Christ International) is a membership organisation with a vision to transform the world through Christ, one business leader at a time.

The conference opened with Pat MacMillan, founder and CEO of TRIAXIA Partners, talking about leadership and the pitfalls that surround us and the biblical metaphors regarding leadership.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back from Crown Financial Ministries Reunion

I am back in South Africa after attending the Crown Financial Ministries Reunion week in Asheville, North Carolina. I am definitely ENcouraged and INspired and TRransformed by all the teaching during that special week and I am very grateful for the opportunity to have attended the Reunion. Crown Financial Ministries is now in its 35th year of existence and it was so refreshing to see what is currently happening around the World, through the teaching of Crown.

It was exciting to see the progress on every continent and specifically the truth that God’s economy brings into the hearts and minds of those being served.

Character First training in Nigeria

Nigeria is a massive country of almost 100 million people comprising 250 ethnic groups speaking 4000 dialects. In size, it is more than two and half times the size of California. The diversity of Nigeria is reflected in its rainbow of creeds and complexions, views and counterviews, stretching from the fringes of the desert in the North to the Atlantic waters in the South.

We have been involved in taking Character First into Nigeria and initiate the implementation of it within Church groups as well as business implementation groups.

 

 

 

Presenting and coordinating excellent marketplace conference

Equipping Horses conference attended by 120 participants and 50 delegates pre conference and selling the DVD material afterwards with articles in the Joy magazine

Kent Humphreys said the following:

“At this first ever African conference we had leaders from twelve African nations including Egypt. The enthusiasm was very high throughout the three days. The pre-conference tour on the first day was sold out with a bus load full of 52 leaders visiting three different companies. Dick Wynn, formerly of Crown and who has spoken at our FCCI conference, Jerry Forster, who owns a large financial advisory firm, Graham Power, of The Power Companies and who also started the Global Day of Prayer, were also on the platform. The teaching was solidly biblical and very practical. The questions and interaction in the workshops was perhaps the best that I have seen anywhere in the world. The participation by the women and spouses was also are high as I have seen anywhere in the world. Of course the worship and dancing and singing definitely went a step beyond our worship in the USA”.
