Various series contain a lively recapture or fictional form of a story from the Bible book. - [Flight from Casablanca](https://justtrudy.com/adam/flight-from-casablanca/) - How I longed for escape from parts of my life that simply strangled! From the routine of driving three hours every day to and from work and not sure of when this routine it would end. From watching everything I ate or said because of the desire to achieve a certain result from good food. - [JEPHTHAH: Hard to Get (Judges 11, 12)](https://justtrudy.com/leadership-lessons/jephthah-hard-to-get-judges-11-12/) - He had found the key to stardom. A healthy disregard for unfavorable circumstances and people who imagined that circumstances made the man. They did not. Men created their own circumstances. It took an appreciation that one needed others and so the art of collaboration was another key to winning in life. - [The learning window - Jephthah](https://justtrudy.com/leadership-lessons/the-learning-window-jephthah-2/) - Effective leadership takes a potent mix of abilities and attitudes, and not just social position. Secondly, the perfect can be spoilt. With extravagance, negligence, recklessness and lack of mental control. Leadership requires that we carefully balance our emotional, spiritual and social lives. Seeking and handling of power always demands the personal subjugation of the powerful, or you can destroy a perfect situation. - [SWOT](https://justtrudy.com/leadership-lessons/swot/) - When you fail to note your strengths, you are unable to motivate yourself and mobilize your resources. When you fail to note your weaknesses, they will become the Trojan horses and Achilles’ heels that can make your success a bubble. When you fail to see the opportunities and threats each situation presents to you, you lose your winning cards and fall where you don't need to fall. - [Social Profile: Samson](https://justtrudy.com/leadership-lessons/social-profile-samson/) - What were Samson’s values? It did not come out clearly in the story. He knew how to fight. Beyond that, it is not clear what direction Samson intended to move at any time. He did not seem to be following a vision, because he cast no vision for anyone to follow. He seemed incapable of mobilizing the people of Israel to join in his fights. - [Samuel: A long journey](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/samuel-a-long-journey/) - As Samuel settled into being the spiritual, social and political leader with a heart of gold that did right and gave justice, who declared the word of the Lord in prophecies that were consistently fulfilled, the ‘ridiculed’ Hannah became the mother of the most revered leader since Moses. What a long road to fulfillment! - [Surprised by God](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/surprised-by-god/) - Why did God close the wombs of women like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Hannah and Elizabeth when their children carried such glorious destinies? Why did they need to pray so hard before they could have children? Perhaps the answer lies in the very fact that they had to pray before such outstanding lives could be birthed on earth. - [At the center of it all](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/at-the-center-of-it-all/) - Have you ever wondered what produced the incredible achievement of personalities such as David, Samuel, Daniel and Paul? What is that hidden key that opened options to them that brought long lasting results time after time? - [Rooted, established, firm ...](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/joseph/rooted-established-firm/) - Fruiting comes from rooting. The deeper the roots, the weightier the fruit. Again, fruit may take time to show up, but when they do, they are priceless. That's why God is always anxious to tell Israel, 'take root down, bear fruit up'. - [The law shall not depart from your mouth](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-8/the-law-shall-not-depart-from-your-mouth/) - The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119. One hundred and seventy six verses in a love song. A love song not to the character of God, or even the works of God. It is a love song to His word. It could only have been written by one who found no fault with the word of God. A man who accepted his own weakness and God’s supremacy. David, the man after God’s heart. - [Manna](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/manna/) - ‘Manna. What is this? This was the question evoked by this magical food for weeks after it started. And that is what its name became. Manna. Food that had to be carefully measured. Diligently weighed. Consistently gathered. Meticulously guarded and doubly gathered on the day before the Sabbath. It did not allow for carelessness. It compelled attention. Food that taught discipline. Manna? - [Let nothing be wasted](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/let-nothing-be-wasted/) - There are certain parts of the Bible that are generally accepted as places to be skipped. The unspoken consensus is that they are too dry to be studied. These are the data driven records of the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and the genealogies in the books of Chronicles. But that temptation not to study them or to skip them is a debilitating temptation. Do not yield to it. For it will so deprive you of one of your deepest sources of wealth. - [Habits](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/habits/) - But adapting to a new habit is tough. It is said that it takes a minimum of 21 days for a habit to form. That journey may be uncomfortable, disruptive and even stressful. But if you can push to incorporate that new winning way into your daily repertoire and get to the end of the period of habit formation, that habit will serve you forever. - [S.M.A.R.T. goals](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/s-m-a-r-t-goals/) - I found that to be the missing part of any goal achievement efforts after years of struggling with certain goals. No matter how smartly I wrote out the goals, loving bread more than greens have played havoc with my weight goals. Choosing novels over bible reading definitely affects my spiritual goals. So does a love of TV affect my reading goals. - [Beyond you](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/beyond-you/) - Prophet, it is not good for man to be or to do anything alone. Everyone must have help meet for every condition and endeavor. What you are doing will surely wear you away, both you and these people with you. Managing any enterprise is too heavy for one person. If you will listen to me, I will give you counsel and God shall be with you. - [Help from above](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/help-from-above/) - As we walk and work before God, uploading His word and downloading His counsel and love, we experience the blessedness of the fruit of living under the shadow of God’s love. A people of faith and grace, building love in the work of our hands. Purpose is released from the network of love around us and the chain of love moving through us. - [Get help](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/get-help/) - What a tragedy it is when a mentor is available to you, but you fail to listen to them? And this too can happen. Samuel was available to Saul, but Saul thought himself wiser. Elisha could have passed on incredible power to Gehazi. But Gehazi preferred clothes and food over the treasures of sound counsel. How about Rehoboam? He inherited a father who is credited with being the richest king the earth has known. - [Of nets, webs and weaves](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/of-nets-webs-and-weaves/) - Everything we do and say or fail to do and say is connected to the results of our lives. This is why you should avoid mistakes and get help early for any form of venture. Do not go into marriage without counseling. Do not do business without research and counsel. Do not make assumptions where you can get directions. - [Supernatural](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/supernatural/) - God had led them back to the desert of Sinai and to the place of Moses’ succor after he ran from Egypt. He had led them to the foot of the mountain on which He had first spoken to Moses. Talk about a God of consistency! Talk about comfort. Talk about assurance. - [Priests and Kings](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/priests-and-kings/) - Is there a purpose to all the stories in the Bible? Is there a purpose to this all-engaging worship? Can faith not be done in an arms length arrangement? Can one not believe that there is a God without reading a book this God is supposed to have written through people, get to know a son he is supposed to have birthed through a virgin, and be among people alleged to be of like faith called the church – who largely have human failings? - [A higher calling](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/a-higher-calling/) - Integrity is from the word ‘integer’. A number divisible only by itself and one. Not given to divisions of personality, half truths and twisted versions. You walk your talk knowing that you are accountable to those who have trusted you and believe in you. You are who you say you are. - [A special person](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/a-special-person/) - And do not let anyone make you apologise for your deepest desires and directions. Those desires and directions define you. What will make you happy as you walk, trip or run along. It is all quite esoteric, so if I were you, I would study me. Frankly, if there is any subject you should watch closely, it is who you are, and your callings and assignments. Therein lies the key to your life’s work. - [Eden in the morning](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/eden-in-the-morning/) - When has creation listened to humanity? When had the supernatural not defined the natural? And the sun kept announcing its closeness to earth and demanding submission with time. - [The uprising (Exodus 24 and 32)](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-uprising-exodus-24-and-32/) - Aaron and the rest came down the mountain, shocked that they had seen the ancient God of their fathers, eaten and drank and remained alive. For days after they came from the mountain, none of them could speak and tell their story. Gradually, the fear started to leave them, though the mountain remained engulfed with fire, and Moses and Joshua failed to come down. - [War and peace](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/war-and-peace/) - When we fail to align the internal truth of what we believe and ascribe to, with the external truth of our work; when we fail to speak up – and pretend to be part of what we do not believe in, we open ourselves up to ‘war’. War in our own souls. War between our internal and external worlds. War in the outcomes of our lives. We live a disintegrated life. And when the bubble bursts, we are the ones that will be expelled. - [Rainbow](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/rainbow/) - I think the rainbow expresses the complexity, the process, and the effect of leadership. It takes many strands of values, attitudes and formulations of activities to lead oneself and any group successfully. While the strands may be different, they have to move in harmony. The diversities have to be carefully layered in order to lead to the desired effect of beauty and elegance and progress. - [Enjoy each pull](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/enjoy-each-pull/) - Then I realized that one of life's deepest secrets for harmony and joy was unfolding before my eyes. A positive attitude towards distractions and diversions. Learning to deal with them in a positive manner. You can not get away from your baby. She is you and you are her. Tucked away, she is still calling for attention. What to do? Accept the necessary. Do more than accept. Enjoy it. Your world is full of people. Family has needs - each different. Friends want to stay in touch - often passing on annoying messages. Colleagues have questions, queries and quests. They are your world and you are theirs. - [Fire and anger - on Christmas Day](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/fire-and-anger-on-christmas-day/) - The man and woman were intensely arguing. I felt sorry for them. What was so wrong that Christmas couldn’t cure? Of course, I was being silly. I recalled similar situations in my own life when I didn’t care that the day was beautiful. Arguing to settle differences still made perfect sense. Just as I passed them, the craziness went beserk. The car swung sharply to the left, into the shrubs lining the freeway. One of them must have instantly reacted to the peril their anger had placed them in. - [Land's end (Deuteronomy 34)](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/lands-end-deuteronomy-34/) - ‘Always wait for His word. He will speak. If you will learn to listen to Him and wait for His instruction, He will never fail to show up and guide you along. You can lead yourself and others well, only if you allow yourself to be led by values, emotions, and principles greater than yourself. - [The road less travelled](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-road-less-travelled/) - Instead of being cowed by the storm, eagles find the strong winds provided by the storm, and leverage on them as assets to achieve its’ goals. That is strength, wisdom and courage combined. I can’t think of a better combination for achievement. Be an eagle. Fly high. On the road less travelled. You only need the wind, and the storm will give it to you. - [Walk like a lion](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/walk-like-a-lion/) - The teacher, mother and coach kinds of leaders run in tight little steps beside the group, constantly looking sideways or behind them to check that every member of the group is keeping up in the right direction. They talk directly to different members as they walk with them, and reflect the attention of the shepherd who is anxious about the safety of the ones they are walking with – rather than looking up and striding ahead of the group. - [Series 1: The Genesis Principles](https://justtrudy.com/profile/series-1-the-genesis-principles/) - Before we share the stories of men, let’s discuss the story of when there was only God, His account of how it all began, and what it teaches us. It’s the story of dreaming and achieving. - [Series 4: Joseph](https://justtrudy.com/profile/series-4-joseph/) - With Joseph as a focal point, in Series 4 we learn about values, treasures and the value of eternity. - [Led by God](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/led-by-god/) - God leads His people from barren howling waste to a place of utter fulfillment and luxury. Still waters, green pastures, a laid table with array of produce, honey, oil, milk, butter, fat, choicest meat, grain, wine. What more motivation do you need to follow a father/leader like this? - [Strategic living](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/strategic-living/) - If you carefully set your goals in a clear manner, and consistently take steps to carefully protect the goal from being interfered with, no matter the incursions, influences, interventions, presences and inputs of others, you will arrive at the goal. Your living will be strategic, focused and directioned. Your life paths will all be carefully directed at arriving at the goal. - [A walled city](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/a-walled-city/) - I keep quiet when I am not sure. Then I watch to figure out if what my heart is saying is not destructive to the greater good. If it is from God and yet does not sound good to me, then I conclude that it can only be meant to bring about a greater good. So it is best to watch and pray. - [A man of war](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/a-man-of-war/) - What do we do when attacked by spiritual enemies that will decimate us in the natural? Diseases that claim to be incurable that appear suddenly in a family going about its quiet business? Deaths, divorces and addictions that were not courted or anticipated by families? Business destruction from external forces when we have worked diligently and ethically? Even worse is the fact that they can come in multitudes – a thousand on the left, and ten thousand on the right. The comfort given to those who trust in God come from several sure positions - [Leverage](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/leverage/) - I cringe when people do not value relationships and so are careless with them as they travel life’s journeys. Every penny adds up, so a habit of saving is to be coveted – even if its savings in a piggy bank. Then I also cringe when people are afraid to tackle challenging situations such as marriage, new businesses, and projects just because they don't have ‘enough money’. The value of money comes only when well leveraged. - [Listen to Him](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/listen-to-him/) - Should you be listening to what you are listening to? From TV, radio, everyone wanting to pour sound your way? I don't think so. I wish I had the time to do the research of how much unnecessary sound we allow into our lives on a daily basis, but even without doing so, I am sure many of us listen to too much. Too much of what we will not need or use because of the lack of value in its content. - [The long and short of it – Lessons from Ai](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-long-and-short-of-it-lessons-from-ai/) - The battle is the Lord’s. Victory is not from any human craft or strength. The horse is made ready for battle, but victory is given by the Lord. So it is God’s outstretched arm that makes the difference! And did the hosts of heaven fight for us that day!!’ - [The difference](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-difference/) - All our abilities – physical, emotional and spiritual, are derived from God, and it is important to ask Him for those abilities through prayer. It is God who is building a kingdom that straddles heaven and earth, and we are participants in this glorious venture. The power for it, and the glory from it move from and to God. - [Empty your hands (and heart)](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/empty-your-hands-and-heart/) - I have watched people at the buffet table mix all sorts of meals in a heap. And I could just imagine the tough process they were going to go through eating what ought to have brought the pleasure of decipherable taste. Not to talk about the tummy ache that could be awaiting them. - [Chasing the sweet](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/chasing-the-sweet/) - How many of us stop to think about the danger that travels with each of the pleasurable vanities we are presuming to chase? - [Territory](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/territory/) - But surely, you cannot feel full when your brother’s continued strength is only guaranteed by the magnanimity from your table? Must they live on the generosity of others, instead of having what they can also bequeath to their next generations? You are not complete until all is complete. Don't fail your brothers. Don't fail the next generation’ - [Trees of righteousness](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/trees-of-righteousness/) - No human is an accident of nature. Or force of nature, as we may wish to flatter ourselves. The sober reality is that each of us has been honored with a part in this enterprise of earth life. Paul, the author of the letter to Ephesians, calls it an inheritance obtained in Christ. We have an inheritance in time, and into eternity, if we will confront the challenges of our environment with values, purposeful living, and faith in Jesus Christ. - [Woman with a mission](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/woman-with-a-mission/) - My mum is one of my great sheroes. She is an admirably fierce, authentic Fante woman who has such a wild mix of ideas, it can be difficult to keep up with her sometimes. She taught me about territories and how to take and keep them. One of her absolute grounds is ‘family’. The second - [Space and place](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/space-and-place/) - Injustice, inequity and lack of commitment to proper application of rules will always mar this journey to the proper acquisition and management of territories. This compels the question - can we ever build beautiful societies founded on valid territories if we persist in not learning the lessons? It is making every innocent ride at any time of day painful in this country. - [Living with a mission](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/living-with-a-mission/) - What will the business of living be like if we had no territory in this vast space? Your own unique (even if small) place in the world? That corner you know well, and for which you are known. What a bland world it will be! Frankly, we can’t be going anywhere unless we are moving towards a territory. There is no place for you unless you can tell everyone where exactly you want to sit. - [A voice from yesterday...](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/a-voice-from-yesterday/) - When Moses faced the red sea, it was God who told him to stretch his rod. When Joshua faced the flooded Jordan, it was God who directed that the ark was to go ahead of the people into the water. But what do you do when God is silent and yet you must win? - [The victory](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-victory/) - God knows you will need miracles to get to where you are going. Perhaps that is why He chose to be born by a virgin. And die on a cross, get buried, and three days later, appear to people who saw Him die. Perhaps that is why Has ensured that the administration of time on a global scale has been done in accordance with His time on earth. - [Turn the tide](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/turn-the-tide/) - No one can take you where you want to go unless you keep moving steadily. The strength to move on has to come from somewhere in you – that vision, that dream, that desire, that value, and that promise. You cannot put off planning and dreaming in the hope that perfect conditions will somehow align, because there will never be a perfect time. - [Highways](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/highways/) - I also wondered what his definition of a miracle is. Whatever it is, I am sure that we must invite miracles only when there is no option to preplan and work the plan. There is a place for everything, even miracles. - [The angel from Bokim](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-angel-from-bokim/) - What is the point of changing anything if others resist every significant thing you do? We are here. We have food and clothes. We do not need to worry ourselves with leading anyone. We don't need to change any culture around us. People here lie. So what? They are promiscuous. So what? They don't worship our God. So what? Live and let live. - [The place of the Eagle](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-place-of-the-eagle/) - This is why our visions must be so treasured, that they are recorded. Recorded for motivation. Recorded for mobilization of help from those placed in our way to help us. Recorded for posterity to continue where we may leave off. I am absolutely convinced that when we live out the purposes designed by God for us, our personal chapters may close, without the book ending. - [The end should be at the beginning](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-end-should-be-at-the-beginning/) - If you don't want your dreams to perish, write the vision down. Mobilize help, set goals and implement them. Don't allow laziness, fear, intimidation or challenges to stand in the way of the most precious gift of all – the vision at the end of the rainbow. This is one of the deepest secrets anyone can teach you. - [The penguin man](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-penguin-man/) - When there seems to be no special place for you, make that space you occupy special. Live your own quality, decent and elegant life. Define your space with the beauty that is you ... able, capable, loved by a creator who gave you a unique identity. Hop on the train and effectively ride life. There is so much room for you. Everyone else needs the gift of you. - [Lead: I will follow](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/lead-i-will-follow/) - In the worship of the baals, the Canaanites abandoned themselves to active sex with the priests, priestesses, neophytes of the cults, killed their children and threw them in fire. The bloodier and more sensual, the stronger the worship. Since the battles had raged with conquests and push backs, no one was quite sure what was truth about history and religion anymore. - [Never ending fountains](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/never-ending-fountains/) - What a guilty conscience does to us insidiously and invidiously, especially when we are unconscious of this consciousness, is to envelope us with a blanket of heaviness. Quietly, it reminds you of the time you so sinned you couldn’t pray and then you fell into trouble. So this anxiety raises this horrible wall….what if I don’t go to heaven because of the ‘likelihood of sin’; the ‘probability of transgression’; ‘the possibility of trespass’. - [The mystery of leadership](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-mystery-of-leadership/) - God is the very epitome of excellent leadership, and this is what the whole Bible reveals. He sets the standard for what should be expected in every leader. He is creator, shepherd, king, and father. As creator, He teaches us the leadership skills of setting vision and goals, planning, preparing and executing plans through the incredible stories of how He created a physical nation and a spiritual kingdom in the old and new testaments. - [Make it work](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/make-it-work/) - The effect of leadership is so deep that your entire future is shaped by those values, ethics, emotions and visions that galvanize you to action. This is why we must be ever conscious and protective of our environments, and what is influencing us. Don't allow anything to take root in your life that you do not want to bear fruit in your life. - [Ehud: What is left when you are right?](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/ehud-what-is-left-when-you-are-right/) - Ehud’s escape from the court was easy. It was as if the soldiers milling under the palm trees were used to men fleeing from private trysts with the king. Rushing to the mountains of Ephraim, he retrieved the trumpets hidden at the foot of the mountain. With the thirty men waiting for him, the trumpet blasts cut the air and ruled the waves of sound for more than an hour. - [New wine, old skins](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/new-wine-old-skins/) - The blessed assurances of faith do not know insignificance or weakness. They only know the power of faith in the heart of a believer who believes in the goodness of a glorious Father. - [It all adds up](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/it-all-adds-up/) - Each one of us ought to be adding to the landscape of life from a stock that we bring. Look carefully and find those features, ideas and imaginations that are uniquely yours. Do not despise them or imagine that they are not legitimate. They are. Deploy them to push your life forward. - [The tree in the seed](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-tree-in-the-seed/) - Each tree here was started with only one seed. It is this one seed that has birthed the hundreds of oranges and thousands of seeds they will give in just this one season of fruiting. This one season will make available many thousands of seeds for planting and these can yield millions of seeds in their own harvests. - [Deborah: A bee in peace. A wasp in war](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/deborah-a-bee-in-peace-a-wasp-in-war/) - Deborah was a spiritual leader and prophetess in Israel, the Judge and head of government, a military strategist who rose up to the occasion in mustering the nation to war, a poet and collaborator in music, and a woman who identified her womanhood without any belittling or entitlements of gender. Deborah was a woman who threaded and wielded effectiveness in different roles with pure integrity and powerful coherence. - [One year on ...](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/one-year-on/) - It is already one year since JustTrudy joined the world of websites. I have enjoyed every step, every word, every story. I pray that you have too. I feel as if the Holy Spirit is celebrating this anniversary with me as I landed on the story of Deborah in this Series 21. - [Is it what it is?](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/is-it-what-it-is/) - Jesus could not tolerate hypocrisy. He would not allow people to present themselves as what they were not around Him. And yet He spent most of His time around the weak who ran after Him; misfits who felt comfortable coming to Him to make them whole again; and loved the company of people considered sinners by society as long as they sought His company. He had no problem with people who wanted to get better than they were. - [While you were sleeping](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/while-you-were-sleeping/) - A leader cannot take the trappings without yielding the benefit of the place you occupy. That is why a full leafed fig tree without fruit has no business standing in the space. You will not be a legitimate leader if you don't rise up to the call of the times – at work, at home, in ministry, and with any group. Validity comes from weaving coherence into different times and seasons. - [When it's all gone](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/when-its-all-gone/) - When your voice is no longer with me How can I run after the fading I’ve always known of the flown Wherever beams hurled at the seams - [New on www.justtrudy.com: The learning window](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/new-on-www-justtrudy-com-the-learning-window/) - One year on, I’m changing ‘Through the Window’ to ‘The Learning Window’. This new window will set out the lessons I’d like to draw attention to through the scriptural focus of the various blogs. I’ll be sharing the learning I got from those readings with you in concrete points – and I hope you will give me feedback on your learning points too. Welcome to the Learning Window! - [Gideon: Wheat in the winepress - Judges 6, 7, 8](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/gideon-wheat-in-the-winepress-judges-6-7-8/) - Gideon takes center stage in Series 22. How did Gideon transition from a cowering wimp to a towering giant who led Israel for another forty years? What shaped his inner content such that his outward actions took on different dimensions? We delve deeper into the role that a proper perspective of IDENTITY plays in being successful in life. - [The unseen hand: The unseen Father](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/the-unseen-hand-the-unseen-father/) - May the Lord lead you to the anchor of knowing without a doubt, that you belong to one larger than yourself. May your identity be shaped deeply by a sense of belonging to the everlasting God, and the majestic values of His commandments and covenant, never any fleeting circumstance, no matter how dire or beautiful it looks. - [No room for inferiority/superiority complexes in leadership: are you kidding me?](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/no-room-for-inferiority-superiority-complexes-in-leadership-are-you-kidding-me/) - Someone put it this way – ‘your attitude is speaking so loudly I cannot hear your words’. This is the burden of validity and acceptance in leadership. Leadership demands authenticity. And authenticity demands that we make every effort to align what we feel internally with what we are expressing outwardly. The result is integrity. - [Giants in the grasshopper](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/giants-in-the-grasshopper/) - A rose by any other name will smell as sweet. So why do we bother to call it a rose? It is a rose because it is a rose. If it was any other name, it would be that name. There’s an incredible notion, which is scientifically true. Since the beginning of mankind, there’s been only one of everyone. So there is only one of you, and never again will there be another you. - [Social profile](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/social-profile/) - Gideon was a great follower of God’s strategic instructions. This was a leader who understood the importance of a winning strategy and planning of battles. He was happy to engage with strategies, no matter how bizarre. That engagement with unusual strategies brought him high successes. - [Tola & Jair: Fifty Five Shades of Nothing](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/tola-jair-fifty-five-shades-of-nothing/) - After Gideon’s colorful leadership and the trauma-inducing events following his death, Tola and Jair led Israel for fifty- five years. The work of these two men over fifty-five years is covered by exactly four verses in the Bible. The fifth verse clarifies the significant social bankruptcy that followed the insignificant leadership of these two men. What made the lives and times of these two men so disregarded by the chronicler of the book of Judges? The extreme destructiveness of laziness and corruption in leadership is highlighted in Series 23. - [Fruits and talents](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/fruits-and-talents/) - Sometimes God speaks loudest when He leaves words out. As children of God who listen to God through the words of the Bible, it is important to note that the mentoring directions of the Holy Spirit come not only from the text of what the scriptures say, but also, what they leave unsaid. - [Nothing does not mean nothing](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/nothing-does-not-mean-nothing/) - Closely related to laziness is the temptation that empty hands place on us. For if you do nothing and get nothing, how do you take care of your needs? Many turn to the abuse of things they were meant to take care of. Corruption is the lifestyle of the reckless, negligent and incompetent. For when they find their hands empty of gain, reward and benefit, they turn to the siphoning of what does not belong to them. - [Growth](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/growth/) - If stuff beyond your control happens (and stuff happens, you know), cry a bit and be ready to start all over. God learnt it the hard way when he had to push the first Adam out of Eden, bring a second Adam, and go through Gethsemane. Life is a patient process. Slow down on worry and hurry, and build up on work, values, skills, and focus. Every dream is achievable. - [Social profile](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/social-profile-2/) - We are given the family lines of Tola and Jair. Issachar was a tribe described as lazy. Remember what Jacob prophesied over the tribe in Genesis 49:14? Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: 15. And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant, and bowed his - [Living in salvation](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/living-in-salvation/) - I see that the most significant point that needs to be negotiated in this life is the primary question of faith in God. Is eternity real, and what should be our response to it? If we choose to believe the bible, we still have to negotiate what to do about the lordship of Jesus Christ, in all the areas of our contemporary living. - [Win Win](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/win-win/) - It is easy to win and let others win. It only takes research and sound counsel to determine what the proper aces in our hands are, willingness to negotiate in humility and integrity, patience with the faults of others, and a dedication to outcomes that is higher than the ego and timidity that prevent healthy relationship. - [Kill the Gauls!](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/kill-the-gauls/) - You have to learn to live in your space that is threatened by contrary people. You are the one who must learn to strengthen your stakes, lengthen your cords, deepen your pillars and make it impossible for contrary people to win whatever trouble they brought. - [Samson: Heaven meets earth](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/samson-heaven-meets-earth-2/) - There is no earth without heaven. God is never far from us. and He never will stay away from the affairs of men. Because when we are stuck, we will pray. And when we pray, He will help us. This too, is simple, my love. - [Single road to added prizes & multiplied grace](https://justtrudy.com/uncategorized/single-road-to-added-prizes-multiplied-grace/) - May your two eyes merge to give you the strongest vision May your two hands and ten fingers grasp as one to give you the strongest hold May your two legs and ten toes move in the same direction to take you ‘there’ - [Series 8: Moses](https://justtrudy.com/profile/series-8-moses/) - This series explores the relationship between law, justice, love, excellence and progress, and how leadership is the key to unlocking these relationships. - ['What have we done to love?'](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-8/what-have-we-done-to-love/) - Many women are so exhausted; they are simply unable to be productive in their careers or other pursuits that their hearts hanker for. Many men are so preyed on to provide for every need of the family and look affluent that, their participation in corrupt practices is pushed by the demands of the very people who should have been guarding their peace of mind. - [Sidewalk - the business of living](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-8/sidewalk-the-business-of-living/) - There is no other response to vanity, when each moment of breath is the beautiful gift called life. I wished I could drop him notes so he could close early today. - [Excel - with Lady Justice](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-8/excel-with-lady-justice/) - Justice is an interesting concept. It demands fairness and equity. It calls for granting a fair playing ground for everyone. It confronts lack of fairness in the sharing of space and resources. Where law is set aside, and when fairness and equity are not respected, the human soul bursts out with violence. - [Moses, prophet, law giver](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-8/moses-prophet-law-giver/) - Why was it so difficult for people to understand that the power of God lay in His love expressed through meticulous arrangements for every life? He shrugged. He had seen enough of God not to ask such ‘what if’ questions. But then, so had she, but she asked. - [Series 2: Adam](https://justtrudy.com/profile/series-2-adam/) - In Series 2, we explore we look at Adam's story and explore our strengths and weaknesses as individuals and corruption. - [Series 3: Noah](https://justtrudy.com/profile/series-3-noah/) - We’ve been exploring the dynamics of achievement and what Leadership - that complex concept that holds the key to how people and groups achieve dreams, visions, and goals - looks like. So much has the book of Genesis got to teach us on that. - [Series 5: Moses](https://justtrudy.com/profile/series-5-moses/) - A new month, a new book, a move from Genesis to Exodus. Still contemplating the art and skills of leadership. Still meditating on the works, ways and words of God - [Series 6: Moses](https://justtrudy.com/profile/red-sea/) - How do we make this cycle of mountain top living easier to manage? Three suggestions… - [Series 7: Rahab](https://justtrudy.com/profile/series-7-rahab/) - In Series 7 we look at the importance of allowing lulls in between major events. We will see why you need to hear from God and take strategic decisions before you make major moves. - [Sssssshhhh! Quite quiet](https://justtrudy.com/series-7-rahab/sssssshhhh-quite-quiet/) - I'm certain that the best time of the day is dawn and dusk. When the day clouds are smilingly creeping back or reluctantly withdrawing. The sun is shyingly creeping in or fully shutting off. And dogs and humans are moving shadows. It is a lulling time and yet invigorating. - [One thing at a time](https://justtrudy.com/series-7-rahab/one-thing-at-a-time/) - FOCUS on one thing at a time. This means that multitasking is bad. Yes, say it again. 'Multitasking is bad'. Slowly this time. In a whisper, almost. Now scream it! Loud! Fast! ‘Multitasking is bad!’ - [Rest is not an option](https://justtrudy.com/series-7-rahab/rest-is-not-an-option/) - As if nights, and a day out of the week are not enough, He called for Sabbath years. Every seventh year, take a year of rest. Then He called for the Jubilee year. After seven times of seven years adding up to 49 years, the 50th year is a year of Jubilee. A year not just for physical rest, but emotional rest, financial rest, and utter rest. - [Pause](https://justtrudy.com/series-7-rahab/pause/) - Piram was not sure what was irking him more. The questions of the woman in his arms, or the grave danger lurking behind the wall. For one who made money selling her body, she had found a way of doing so in style. Only persons of repute were allowed into Rahab’s rooms - [Go deep and wide](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-6/go-deep-and-wide/) - A round of misbehaviour brought on this insight. My firm conviction is that airport tolls have become too expensive! A count of Ghana cedis for hanging around the airport for less than an hour. Naaaaa.... So these days, I do a terribly naughty thing. - [Win every challenge](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-6/win-every-challenge/) - A major investment that brings the kind of returns that move you from being a petty trader to a medium scale entrepreneur is likely to come with such risks that many stop on the ground floor of business and career. What can be even more stressful is not so much the risk at any one time. - [Fringe life](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-6/fringe-life/) - You know how it is when you are not in and you are not out? Hanging out maybe. Going with the flow. Not dry and not wet. Not cold, not hot. Not blue, not red. Lika dis and lika dat. It can seem safe. A safe place to dodge criticism, branding and identification. A life of no real identity. - [The Red Sea](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-6/the-red-sea/) - As swiftly as the arrows fly Word came by hue and cry Pharaoh said to go We are free of blows - [Roll back the darkness](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-5/roll-back-the-darkness/) - I keep praying, drinking in the kissing of heaven and earth on my verandah.

New job with shinier prospects. - [Exodus - it is good to be confused](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-5/exodus-it-is-good-to-be-confused/) - That afternoon years ago, Moses had heard the strangest conversation. And since then, life has cascaded from one trauma to another. Moses had plummeted from prince to fugitive. - [Is God with me?](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/moses_series-5/is-god-with-me/) - So is God real? I think that if we are not even convinced by the many confirmations in the order of creation, the beauty of nature, and the love expressed in provision of sun, water, food, health and relationships, we should be convinced by the fulfilling of prophecy. That God is real. - [Friendship - Far from the madding crowd](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/joseph/friendship-far-from-the-madding-crowd/) - The lady had a book open on her lap.

Check what is said to Abraham after the promise to make a name great. - [African city links](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/noah/african-city-links/) - Warm heart of Africa.

They are often taken for oppression, though no one questions the Asian bows as beautiful expressions of human communication. - [Take care](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/noah/take-care/) - Working for yourself and yours totally misses the mark for the first recorded direction given for why we should work. After the creation of the garden, God put man in in the garden to ‘work, and take care of it’ Genesis 2:15. Take care of it. Use your time at work to take care - [This gift called faith](https://justtrudy.com/the-genesis-principles/this-gift-called-faith/) - But God applauds this position. Hebrews 11:6 says, ‘ But without faith, it is impossible to please God…’. Hebrews 11 is described as the ‘hall of faith’.

Little wonder that the Bible actors played more market place roles than roles of worshipping in the temple. - [Work It Out](https://justtrudy.com/bible-story-lessons/noah/work-it-out/) - That guy Noah is so strange. Talked to himself all the time. And he calls it praying. Five hundred years old till he had children and all the while, he insisted on being faithful to his wife. Who does that? In a time of great wealth, learning, culture, license and liberation, he claims a need to listen to ‘God’. - [Letter to MESS](https://justtrudy.com/the-genesis-principles/letter-to-mess/) - Ever seen anyone get chicken ready to be cooked? When I was growing up, it was one of my kitchen duties to do this. After the chicken is killed, you pluck off its big feathers. Soon, you will find a set of smaller ones you need to scrub off. - [Unwilling traveller](https://justtrudy.com/the-genesis-principles/unwilling-traveller/) - No doubt. He must have come off an international flight. The stoniness of face spread through his rigidly held body and told his story without any more words. Your guess is as good as mine.

And God points to the road map for achieving dreams in the opening story of His Bible. He tells His own story about how He did it. - [Emotional intelligence](https://justtrudy.com/adam/emotional-intelligence/) - Emotional intelligence helps us to recognize the deep veins of fear, sometimes laid in childhood or teenage, when we are most vulnerable. These veins can send arrows of blood into our consciousness and activate anger against people we barely know just because they remind us of some earlier bad experience we had. They are veins that jaundice our responses before they are intelligently framed. - [Money-in-Law](https://justtrudy.com/adam/money-in-law/) - That group makes me nervous. Their faces can usually be found in the business class section of flights. They enjoy money more than they are able to legitimately make it. So much exceedingly and abundantly more. So how could they care about how it comes? - [The hero is cold](https://justtrudy.com/adam/the-hero-is-cold/) - ‘It’s the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. What we are seeing is evil. Good has lost its influence and control. Evil has shown its face’. He spoke in great pain. Eve shivered. ‘I thought it was going to make us powerful? Why do I feel weak and unable?’ - [SOS – Save Our Souls](https://justtrudy.com/adam/sos-save-our-souls/) - So here is the next question. Where do you draw your strength from?
