The road ahead. Strategic thinking and network development

The road ahead is not religious; it is all about strategic thinking. It is about coming to understand the mechanism through which all the knowledge that has been taught or received by individuals through the years, can be processed in an organized way in their hearts to make them see the opportunities in their environment, the strategic importance of the existing relationships in their lives, and to give them a right plan of action towards the attainment of their goals. The road ahead of us is really a mechanism which would liken our hearts to our personal computers, through which we can access the 'information highway' in God and get thought solutions to every challenge we face on the earth. Faith is the key that would enable us to link up with this 'information highway’. The road ahead would make people realise that an enlargement of the heart is always essential if we would overcome our challenges. Every new situation requires that you stretch your mind beyond its present capacity, seeing opportunities in places, people and in things you once called common. As we stretch our minds with faith filled words directed towards our goals our minds would access the anointing of God. We have always related to the anointing of God as a 'feeling' that comes upon us at Christian gatherings. The anointing is far more than this. The principal place of the anointing is to teach and to give wisdom. It teaches us how to get the desired results and to overcome present day challenges using what we have in our possession, the relationships within our network and the tools that are within our reach. The anointing taught David how to use a sling and five stones which were within his reach to kill Goliath. The anointing taught Moses how to use the rod in his hand, i.e. to see and maximize the potentials of what he would have neglected. It worked through his personal network, his relationship with individuals such as Aaron (his cousin), Marian (a relative), Haman (a man he had cultivated a relationship with over the years), Jethro (his father in law) etc, in order to give him a support base and a team to achieve his set goals. The anointing organizes your life. It shows you the value of the individuals in your network and how by simply restructuring your relationships, powerful results can be achieved. The discovery of this road ahead would spell a revolution in human society. It would make men realize that most networks built by God in human society, for the protection and the development of the individual are fractured, dysfunctional and some completely destroyed. We would see that the lack in human society, the poverty and the circumstances many point to, in terms of the sufferings of people all over the earth, are really a product of fractured and dysfunctional 'networks' and not the unfaithfulness of God. It is really a display of the ignorance on the part of humanity. We do not know how to merge commerce with community, where networks would be constructed strategically, through which help can flow and each individual within the network would receive and experience increased blessings. God uses visionary individuals to create powerful networks through which society is blessed. The blessing and the progress of humanity are built on smaller networks of men who are conscious of their environment. Recently I was reading through a book written in the 50's, which highlighted the reasons why every citizen in the United States has more opportunities to accumulate wealth, more freedom of every nature than may be found in any other country. I quote, "I have the privilege of going into a frank analysis of that mysterious "something" which gives to every citizen of the United States more blessing, more opportunities to create wealth, more freedom of every nature than may be found in any other country. I have the right to analyse the source and the nature of this unseen power because I know, and have known for more than half a century many of the men who organize that power and many who are now responsible for its maintenance. The name of this mysterious benefactor of mankind is capital. Capital consists not alone of money, but more particularly of highly organized, intelligent groups of men who plan ways and means of using money efficiently for the good of the public, and profitably to themselves... Stated briefly, these men and women are the brains of civilization, because they, and not government, supply the entire fabric of which all education, enlightenment and human progress consists.�
