In this June we as an NGO have engaged in issues surrounding #Ventures. We have discussed several facets of enterprise as well as highlighted the good and the bad. We said that on one hand - work, pursuing various business ventures and carrying out the labour of our hands can be honourable as they are essential in every aspect of life as well as for the growth of income for personal, family, communal and family upkeep. On the other hand we have condemned slave labour, evil hustle and love of money.  In this month we have put together various United Nations’ Days of celebrating enterprise into one, such as World Day against Child Labour and Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day. We continued in our works of charity by sharing food and other items around our centre. We visited the Health Centre, Benin Correctional Centre and other places, where we shared customised TLF gifts and cash. We received donations and also solicited for more donations.

“God Provides” By  Julie Ackerman Link Those who work their land will have abundant food. Proverbs 12:11 Outside my office window, the squirrels are in a race against winter to bury their acorns in a safe, accessible place. Their commotion amuses me. An entire herd of deer can go through our back yard and not make a sound, but one squirrel sounds like an invasion. The two creatures are different in another way as well. Deer do not prepare for winter. When the snow comes they eat whatever they can find along the way (including ornamental shrubs in our yard). But squirrels would starve if they followed that example. They would be unable to find suitable food. The deer and the squirrel represent ways that God cares for us. He enables us to work and save for the future, and He meets our need when resources are scarce. As the wisdom literature teaches, God gives us seasons of plenty so that we can prepare for seasons of need (Prov. 12:11). And as Psalm 23 says, the Lord leads us through...

EXTREME SAVERS You can put away a lot more than the average American without living a deprived life.  #Avoid Debt!  Since they married two decades ago, Ed Haskell and Debbie Chasteen have saved more than half their income every year. But Ed's aggressive savings habits go back even further. From his early 20s, Ed was determined to live frugally so that he didn't have to work into his 60s. When the couple was dating, Debbie realized how serious Ed was about saving when she needed a new car but didn't have the cash. Rather than have her borrow, Ed offered to put up the money so she could continue maxing out her retirement plan. That avoidance of debt has been a key to their success. Before they make any purchase, even big-ticket items like cars, they save up the cash. In 1996 they paid cash for their first home, a $105,000. "Sure, we could afford a bigger house and more expensive cars, but we're content with the things we have," says Ed, who retired 10 years ago ...

JOB INTERVIEWS Job interviews are short, crisp, and very important parts of your career. A good interview can make your career and a bad interview can either offer you progress at best and seriously hamper your progress at worst. Therefore, it is very important to be completely ready, and know what to say when you attend an interview. In addition, whatever the post may be, or whatever the job position may be, you should clearly know what not to say in an interview. 1. What to Say in a Job Interview. The art of listening  One of the first skills of a conversation, let alone an interview, is the art of listening. There is a major difference between hearing and listening. We hear music, an action in which we may miss some lyrics or some part of the music, but we hear what is important to us and what we should pay attention to. During an interview, one should remind oneself to hear, understand and keep in mind what the interviewer is saying. 2. When to speak  Also, during an inter...

“For Love or Money” By Bill Crowder Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. Luke 12:15 Read Luke 19:1–10 Irish poet Oscar Wilde said, “When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.” Oscar Wilde however lived till the age forty-six. Money is temporary; it comes and it goes. So life must be about more than money and what it can buy.  Jesus challenged the people of His generation—rich and poor alike—to a recalibrated value system. He said, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”  In our culture, where there’s an abiding focus on more and newer and better, there’s something to be said both for contentment and for perspective about how we view money and possessions. Upon meeting Jesus, a rich young ruler went away sad because he had many possessions he didn’t want to give up (...
