Seeking good intelligence and enforcement are the chief protocols for any type of beginning.
Pastor Tunji Adeyinka disclosed to Confiance News during a Sunday sermon at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Solid Rock parish, Ojodu, Lagos State.
“When you have good Intelligence, you’re likely to be successful because you know what lies ahead of you,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines protocol as a system of rules that explain the correct conduct and procedures to be followed in formal situations.
Citing the book of Exodus 12: 1-2 in the bible as his text, he emphasised the need to clarify from God before you embark on a project.
He said you should ask, “Lord what will you want me to do? God how do you want me to run?”
Adeyinka pointed that some people are running other people’s races.
“When we get to heaven God will show us what he sent us to do. I pray we will be happy when he shows us what he sent us to do.”
“God will not ask you for result in the area where he has not given you,” he continued.
Another protocol for beginning, the cleric noted, are Godliness and Contentment.
He defined Godliness as the entire summation of who God is.
“Godliness is in any situation in life; this action that I am taking is it what God will support?
If God were to come today and look at what you are doing, will he be happy with it?
The RCCG Pastor, however, stated that contentment defines how far you can go.
“Discontentment leads to several problems.
Not having Contentment has sent several people to journeys that they are not able to come back. Contentment is not laziness,” he explained.
“People are so discontented with work.
At every stage in life you need to understand that you need to be contented with what you have. It is Contentment that makes you to start desiring Godliness. There’re are somethings that if you stop chasing them, you will have peace,” the cleric advised.
