The Actual Israelites

To answer these questions, we have made a long and careful search of the Holy Bible and have concluded that the Israelites (Jews) are in fact Black People.

We arrived at this conclusion by reasons such as the color of the Israelites (Jews) of the Bible, and most noteworthy, the Bad Treatment and Continuous Bad Conditions that were prophesied to befall the real Israelites if they fail to keep the laws and commandments of God. God promised the Israelites that if they failed to obey him, he would curse them and eventually have them removed from their land and carried as slaves into every nation upon the earth. Israel failed, and God kept his promise.

It is very easy to become lost when someone else is called by your name and is living in your land, while you have been carted off into slavery and are called by the name of the people of whatever nation you are found. After being in slavery for a long period of years, and throughout generations, it would be impossible for your children to remember their history. How can they remember what they were never taught?

Black History (The Holy Bible) tells us that there were two sons born to Isaac and to Rebekah, his wife. These two boys were struggling in their mother's womb even before they were born, and Rebekah asked the Lord why they were struggling. The Lord answered her, telling her that there were two different nations and two different manner of people in her womb and that he would separate them at birth. (See Genesis 25 chapter, vs. 21-25).

When the oldest son was born, the Bible says he was Red and Hairy, and was given the name Esau, but was later also called by the name of Edom. The youngest son was named Jacob, with no reference made to his color. His name was later changed to Israel. The fact being that such emphasis was put on Esau's appearance makes it clear that God had made more than just personality differences between the two boys!

As these two boys matured, there grew dislike between them because Esau claimed that Jacob stole his birthright. Therefore, Esau vowed to kill Jacob. As they developed into nations down through the generations, settling in different locations (Jacob in the land of Israel, which was named after him: and Esau in the land of Edom, also called and known as Mt. Seir), the children (descendants) of Esau were responsible for the death of many Israelites. Some times later, down through the generations, the children of Esau were able to take over the land of the children of Jacob, and to claim that they were the lost tribes of Israel. After taking the name and the land of the true Israelites, it was only a matter of time before the whole world accepted the children of Esau as being the lost tribes of Israel, (which is presently the case). Meanwhile, the true Israelites are still in captivity just as the Lord said they would be.

Being that we understand the origin, fate, and destination of both the descendants of Jacob and of Esau , we can say with proof , according to the Bible, that the whole world has accepted the descendants of Esau as being the Jews, but in truth they are not, but are really the descendants of Esau (Edom).

When Esau (the father of the Edomites) and Jacob (the father of the Jews) were born, the Bible describes Esau as being "red and hairy." Later, in other scriptures, Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, was compared to the Ethiopians - "Are ye not as the children of Ethiopia unto me, O children of Israel?" (Amos 9:7). Ethiopia comes from the Greek word Aithiop, which means dark skin/ or face. The difference between "dark skin" and "red and hairy" is quite distinct, and has not changed down through the generations.

Now let us reason together. Understanding that Ethiopia comes from the Greek word Aithiop, which means "dark skin", let us look at the description of Jesus in Revelation 1:14. "His head and his hairs were whit like wool, as white as snow: and his eyes were as a flame of fire," (which only means they were red), "and his feet like fine brass, as if they were burned in a furnace." (Also see Rev. 1:18). Any rational minded person would understand that Jesus was not two colors, having a white head and a black or burnt (Aithiop) body. Reasoning will also cause you to understand that his hair is white and wooly, and his body and skin is like the Ethiopians (Dark Skin).

Song of Solomon 1:5-6, in the book of the Song of Solomon, we see the writing of Solomon where the Bible states, "The song of songs, which is Solomon's (meaning that Solomon himself made all statements in this particular book): and I quote, "I am Black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me because I am Black, because the sun hath looked upon me. "Most people think this is just a love story Solomon wrote, but in reality this is describing the relationship between God and his people.

There are other things written that describe color, such as Acts 13:1 where a prophet was called Niger, which means black. Niger is the word that nigger comes from. Also in Exodus 4:6 where Moses' hand turn leprous (as white as snow) and Numbers 12:13 where Miriam, Moses' sister, was turned white. Leviticus tells us that there are two kinds of leprosy: one is unclean leprosy, when there is raw or swollen skin in the flesh: the other is clean leprosy, when a person simply turns white all over. Now, honestly ask yourself, why would a white person get excited about turning white? But, if a black person turns white, that's something else! (See Leviticus 13:12-13).

There are even more scriptures on color, and there are also other things written concerning the true Israelites (Jews). Things like going into captivity, being sold as slaves, dispersed all over the world, and forever living as a poor people being badly treated.

The God of Israel (The God of the Bible) pronounced a sentence upon Israel. He told them that if they would not keep his laws and abide by his rules, he would curse them, telling them exactly what would befall them. Israel broke his laws and did not keep his rules, so the Lord cursed them as he said he would. (See Deuteronomy 28th chapter).

In the 28th chapter, it should be understood that a lot of these things happened over the course of many years, continuing down to our time. Because this curse was pronounces upon us when Israel first became a nation, many of these curses occurred before our time and we don't recognize some of them, but some we do. Those we recognize are the ones that we will point out. The Lord said these curses will be upon us for a sign and wonder; (sign means to identify and wonder is to ask why). See Deuteronomy 28, verses 28-30: "the Lord shall smite thee with madness", meaning you will be constantly angry because of the conditions; "blindness", having no knowledge of your history and self; "astonishment of heart", meaning always greatly surprised and amazed at your condition; "thou shalt grope at noonday as the blind gropeth in darkness", meaning to feel about or search or seek with blindness, and not certain or don't know what you are looking for (as if you were looking for something in a dark place and had no light); "thou shall not prosper in thy ways; and thou shall be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee; thou shall betroth a wife and another man shall lie with her; thou shall build a house and thou shall not dwell therein; thou shalt plant vineyards and shalt not gather the grapes thereof", meaning you work, but someone else will reap the proceeds; "thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people and thine eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand", meaning your children will be sold and you will see them being sold by someone else and will not be able to do anything about it (remember Roots and "Slave Trading"); "the fruit of thy land and all thy labors shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up: and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway.....thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see."

Now just look around you, and look back at what happened to black people and what is happening to black people. Now, are we getting a fair chance, or equal opportunity to excel as the whites or the so-called Jews? Why is it that the so-called Jews are granted immediate citizenship when they migrate from other parts of the world? Why is it that any other nationality or race of people is accepted into this country, granted citizenship, and is exempted from paying taxes for a set period of years? The latest, among the foreigners that were granted this luxury are the Cubans, which are mostly Castilian, but the Haitians from the island of Haiti, which are blacks (part of the lost tribes of Israel) were caged up like animals and sent back to their oppression. Also, consider the poor blacks here, (being that the majority of us are worse off than a lot of immigrants), who were brought here against our will. Why aren't we exempted from paying taxes for the same period of years? Why aren't we compensated for now our ancestors were treated in the past? Have you ever wondered about these things? Surely you can't say it's because we are equally treated as the white American born citizens. Have you ever wondered why there are places like Haiti, Jamaica, South America and the Bahamas? Did you know that all of those places were slave camps, and that blacks were carried there to work and to produce while the whites reaped the proceeds! The Bible prophesied this concerning Israel/Jews Black Americans and blacks from the above mentioned slave camps must be Israelites then!

When slavery was abolished (chattel slavery), black people assumed self rule after their masters were forced to release them Either blacks did not know their real home, or did not have the means to return. If they did know, they did not have any army or the power to kick out the foreigners that possessed their land. See Deuteronomy 28: 36-37. "The Lord shall bring thee and thy king unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known and there shall thou serve other gods, wood and stone", (gods which are not backed up with the Bible, and holy days, such as Easter and Christmas, of which the Bible makes no mention as holy to God); And thou shalt become an astonishment" (a great surprise and amazement to other races of people around you); " a proverb" (a short wise saying used for a long time by many people, a well known case); In our case, we have been called for a long time, names such as nigger, coon, shine, john, boy, lazy, smelly, nasty, etc.; "and a byword " (an object of contempt, a thing scorned, and a common saying). Now ask, are blacks scorned? Are we a common conversation, such as... Those niggers this, and those niggers that? Are we a people (objects) of contempt? Who cares for us or our rights? Who tries to help us without wanting to use us for their own personal gain/goal? What harm have we done to organizations such as the Ku-Klux-Klan, to any of the majority of whites, or to other nationalities for them to hate us so? Why are we disliked and scorned and in some cases assaulted for asking for the smallest civil rights that whites are born with, and foreigners are given, with help, when they migrate to this or any other country? It's a case of: if we do wrong we are damned, and if we do right we are damned. I thank God that I know the whole truth of the matter, and that there is an appointed end. Because if salvation was the way it's being taught in most churches, if I had no knowledge of God's true plan, and of this temporary curse that is upon the blacks (the real Israelites/Jew), then I could understand why some people stay drunk, take drugs, or use other means of trying to blind themselves to the reality of our true and unchangeable condition. In some cases, death would be more merciful.

Deuteronomy 28:41, Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shall not enjoy them, for they shall go into captivity" (slavery). Vs.43, "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt come down very low"; (which is to say that all of the people that were citizenship when they migrate from other parts of the world? Why is it that any other nationality or race of people is accepted into this country, granted citizenship, and is exempted from paying taxes for a set period of years? The latest, among the foreigners that were granted this luxury are the Cubans, which are mostly Castilian, but the Haitians from the island of Haiti, which are blacks (part of the lost tribes of Israel) were caged up like animals and sent back to their oppression.

In some cases, death would be more merciful.

Deuteronomy 28:41, Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shall not enjoy them, for they shall go into captivity" (slavery). Vs.43, "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt come down very low"; (which is to say that all of the people that were among the Israelites, but not Israelites themselves, are going to excel while the Israelites fall to the bottom). "He shall lend to thee, (Vs.44), and thou shalt not lend to him; he shall be the head and thou shall be the tail". Now consider what this is saying. Can blacks as a people lend money to anyone? Where are our big corporations? Where are our big chain businesses? Where are our banks? Now consider the people called Jews, who the world has accepted as being Jews. Do they have big corporations, chain businesses, and banks?

For a people that are supposed to be poor and not able to loan money, those people that the world knows as Jews are doing pretty well. In fact, there used to be a household saying among black families on payday - "I got to go pay those Jews". Either these people are not the real Jew of the Bible, or the Bible is grossly misprinted. Consider the scriptures and judge for yourself.

As we continue, see Joel 3:1, "For behold, in those days and at that time when I shall bring again the captivity (captives) of Judah and Jerusalem (Israelites/Jews), Vs.2 , I will also gather all nations, and bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my (land of Israel), Vs.3, and they have cast lots for my people and given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink, Vs. 4. What have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coast of Palestine (Middle East)? Will you render me a recompense (pay me back/repay me)? And if you recompense (repay) me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head, Vs. 5, Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things, Vs. 6. The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem Israelites) have ye sold unto the Grecians (Greeks), that you might remove them far from their border".

In Joel 3:1-3, the Lord is speaking of the time when he will return the real Jews to their own Country. Vs. 2 is saying that at the same time the Lord will gather all nations in one place to plead with them (do battle) because of what they have done to the real Jews- because they have captured and sold them (the real Jews), and the whole coast of Palestine/ Middle East have taken their possessions, and divided the Jews' land among themselves. In Vs.3 and 4 the Lord is telling all of these nations that whatever they would repay him, it is not enough for what they have done to his people. Therefore, if they try to repay him, he will return it upon their own head. Why? Because the nations (all nations) have taken the real Jews and cast lots for them (bided for them/or auctioned them off like animals), and given a boy for an harlot (men traded or gave slave boys instead of money in payment to sleep with a prostitute), and sold a slave girl for wine (traded a young girl for some liquor). Vs. 5 and 6. The nations have taken valuables and riches of the real Jews and carried them into their own temples, and have taken the Jews themselves and sold them to the sons of the Greeks, and to other nations, and removed them far from their own borders.

See Zechariah 11:4, "Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter, Vs. 5, whose possessors slay them and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say, blessed be the Lord, for I am rich; and their own shepherds pity them not.

This scripture is very clear, and lets you know that whosoever owned the real Jews would kill them if they felt like it, and wouldn't think that they had done anything wrong (for instance: Kill an old slave that couldn't work anymore, or one that they thought was rebellious, or one whose will they could not break). Historically, the various hate groups didn't feel that they were wrong when they burned crosses in front of blacks' homes, hung them, or castrated and maimed them for sport. Even in these modern days, who cares if a young or old black is shot by a white person, or another black for that matter? Who cares how many black women get raped or how many blacks are killed by police officers? No real investigations are made to find the true criminal or the reason why. Just read the statistics and you will find that the highest mortality rate in the nation is among young Black males. Or look at the sympathy that Cubans and other non-black immigrants get when entering this country. Then look at the non-sympathetic help that Haitians (blacks) get when they are fleeing into this country to escape oppression and death. I could write page upon page concerning the guiltless feelings of people who kill blacks (so-called Negroes or African-Americans).

The scripture in Zechariah 11:5 states that their possessors (slave owners) sold them and thanked and blessed God because they became rich for doing so. Just look and consider the many nations and their histories. They all profess to be great "Christians" nations not only tolerated slave traders that packed black people in holes of ships (most of which died) en route to the market, but they also rushed to the market and cast their bid for the strongest and fittest that made it. Yes, as a slave trader, riches were dedicated by the amount he could buy. The majority of these people professed to be God-fearing Christians and probably sat in church every Sunday, yet none felt guilty (and this included America, England, France, Greece, Rome, and all so-called Christians and Moslem nations as well). Also, in the same 5th verse, it states that their (the real Jews) shepards pity them not. How is that so? Just look at all of the black churches in America and in other nations. They don't truly care about their own people! They fill their collection plates and treasuries with the hard-earned money of poor blacks, build larger and fancier churches so they can have more room and more "sheep" to fleece, and put on all kinds of programs (gimmicks) to increase their flow of money. Then they buy big cars to drive to their big churches to show their flocks how nice they have been to their shepherds. The flocks love it, and they increase their donations. The height or riches of a shepherd (preacher) are dedicated by the size of his congregation or church!

If their/our shepherds pitied us (the real Jews), they would consolidate some of that wealth that they acquired from their flocks, and build factories so that the black unemployment can be decreased or almost eliminated. They would sponsor housing developments so that blacks can move out of some of these rat and roach infested flop houses; or better yet, they (poor blacks) would be able to purchase homes with the income earned from church-created factories. Most of all, the pastors in these churches would teach the truth and stop telling people that God is coming to take you off to heaven, when God clearly states that he is coming to the earth (Zechariah 14:1-11, Revelation 5: 9-10, Revelation 21: 1-2). Even Jesus said clearly that no man has gone to heaven except he that came from heaven. He was speaking of himself (see St. John 3:13). Also, such un-truths as Jesus died on Friday and rose on Easter Sunday, and that Jesus was born on the 25th of December along with many other lies would cease to be taught if the shepherds cared. See Isaiah 56: 9-12, the Lord talks about these same shepherds that have no pity for their own people.

The Bible tells us that the Israelites (real Jews) would be incarcerated (in prison) in great numbers, see Isaiah 42:22-23, "But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, restore." Now ask yourself what people do you know that is a minority in the country but a majority in the penal institution (jail)? Even the Lord wanted to know who in the future would see this kind of condition and recognize that this is talking about the real Israelites (blacks). Vs. 23, "who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?"

Read the book of Obadiah, and it will tell you how the Israelites (real Jews) were captured and carried out of the land of Israel as slaves (captives) and how the nations went in and parted the land among them. It clearly states that Edom, the descendants of Esau (those who currently claim to be Jews), caught those of the real Jews that did escape, and delivered them into the hands of the enemy. They also went into the gates of the Jews (cities) and laid hands on their substance (possessions, culture, books, etc.).

Also, see Ezekiel chapters 35-36, the Edomites (those who claim to be Jews), which are also known and called by the names of Mount Seir, Bozrah, Teman, and Idumea, are spoken against by the Lord. The Lord tells of how they shed the blood of the Israelites (Jews), and said, "These two nations and these two countries (speaking of Judah and Samaria) shall be theirs (Edom's) in possession, and they will possess it, whereas the Lord was there."

The 36th chapter of Ezekiel tells us that Edom has done just that! For the Lord said, "Thus said the Lord God, because the enemy has said, aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession." Read on and the Lord will tell you that they (Idumea, which is still Edom) have appointed his land (land of Israel) into their possession with the joy of all their heart, and with despiteful minds to cast it out for a prey.

But ask yourself, why do the people that the world has accepted as being the Jews, have such hard times, such as the trouble they had with Germany and the trouble with the Arab nations? Because of what they did to the real Jews, that's why! See Obadiah 9th and 10th verses and read on. Also, see Ezekiel 35:6-15. The Lord said "when the whole world rejoiceth", he will make Edom most desolate.

Lastly, I refer you to Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. The Lord, in both of these places speaks of a people that say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; but they are the Synagogue of Satan. Note that the Lord said also that he knows the work and the tribulations and poverty of the real Jews (but he said, "Thou art rich"). Reasoning tells us that no people, or person, can be rich and impoverished at the same time. But the riches of the people of God (the blacks-the real Jew) are his promise to lift the curse off of us in the time appointed, and to restore us to our former estate. Plus no one can say that the people known and accepted as Jews (the descendants of Edom) are in poverty; consider this publication closely and reason with the Bible whether or not it makes sense.

To those that read this, be it known and understood that this is not hate, neither does the writer teach or believe in hate, nor condone it.

This is merely designed to identify the lost people of Israel and the facts according to the Holy Bible. If anyone is to be hated, it should be our ancestors for sinning against God, because he clearly told them what would happen if they broke his laws.

Be it known also that we believe in, and teach, all of the Holy Bible: from Genesis to Revelation, and that we acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, and that he is God. Also, we only teach what we can prove (through scriptures).

In the name of the God of Israel. God speed.

12 Sales Contest Suggestions For Profits Team

Incentives work. I've been trying monthly sales contests ideas recently and they're working - even when simply to light some fires and replenish they just a little. Try some form of all of them with profits team if you do not already. Notice a few of these sales contest ideas are equipped for group rewards for total sales while some are equipped for rewarding individual achievement. Also, the contests are equipped for various goals that needs to be stored in your mind all year round anyway so another purpose of these contests would be to help remind salesmen the most important thing.

The prize need not be giant just something intriguing and useful. You may even offer a listing of rewards (or perhaps a grab bag) they can decide on. I additionally listed some sales contest reward ideas at the end.

Just in case you had been wondering, "why twelve?" it is because (A) I resent even-designated lists in which the latter were clearly forced and (B) in my situation I'm using monthly contests and years are actually divided into 12 fairly equal parts.

12 Sales Contests Ideas - Reward Provided to...

#1: All if total sales are above $X at least of X% margin.
#2: Sales rep with finest every month sales increase.
#3: Sales rep with greatest product sales from NEW clients.
#4: Sales rep who revives probably the most PAST clients. I really like that one.
#5: All if each sales rep around the team meets or surpasses sales goals.
#6: Sales rep with greatest single purchase or shipment (choose and become obvious).
#7: Sales rep who sells the greatest PRE-Compensated order.
#8: Sales rep with biggest purchase inside a region.

#10: Sales rep with greatest margin on NEW customer.
#11: Sales rep using the greatest average margin with an EXISTING clients.
#12: Sales rep using the greatest sales inside a certain productsOrclass.

These sales contest ideas may not all affect your company for various reasons from the kind of items or services you target the way your sales pressure is structured but hopefully they'll spur ideas for you personally. I really like these suggestions for why is a good sales contest from Simplenomics.

Sales Contest Rewards Ideas

Sales Reward #1: Day(s) off.
Sales Reward #2: Gift cards for 2 in a NICE restaurant.

Sales Reward #4: 1/2 day Fridays for any month.
Sales Reward #5: Movie/park/event tickets
Sales Reward #6: Cash!
Sales Reward #7: Selection of additional training (boondoggle) of the choice.

Provide your salesmen some choice within the matter. Allow them to pick the reward and allow them to give suggestions for the awards. Pay attention to them and then try to pick on individuals small things they are saying they need and select gift cards from locations that sell individuals things. Some say cash is easily the most effective reward - here's a fascinating article online Conversion &lifier Beyond about Sales Incentives and Return on investment.

Have some fun selling. Let the creativity flow together with your sales contest ideas but you don't have to re-invent the wheel.

How you can Organize a Christian Women's Retreat

How you can organize a Christian women's retreat is really a subject of great interest for places of worship, women-groups, and belief based ministries. Chapel-located retreats for ladies are full of fellowship and fun. The retreats may take on a variety of reasons, including showing appreciation for girls who serve within the Chapel stimulating individuals who hold leadership positions supplying a time period of prayer, reflection, and companionship for ladies inside the Chapel plus much more.

Planning this kind of event requires a few steps the organizer needs to understand. To start, a style from the retreat must be selected. For instance, possibly the retreat could be a spiritual getaway particularly for brand new moms who're also people from the Chapel. Following the theme is selected, the organizer needs to talk with the Church's pastor in regards to a time and date for that event, and invites have to be sent for that retreat.

After invites for that retreat are sent, information and materials will have to be collected for that event. Religious book stores, online religious shops, and Chapel book stores are fantastic places to search for such products. If it's made the decision that the video or DVD will probably be performed as part of the retreat, then your organizer must make certain the event location includes a player to support this.

Next, the organizer must constitute a retreat schedule that leaves space for peace and quiet, group discussing, teaching, and traditional fun. With this particular stated, the retreat location should be either quiet and wonderful or simply a place that is an expert in holding retreats. This kind of atmosphere relaxes a person's mind and soul. Retreats are usually in a hotel, cabin, tent on the camping ground, or private home. The price of leasing the ability, foods, materials, etc. Ought to be split one of the group.

Following a schedule is composed along with a location is reserved, the organizer must make a listing from the fun things in the region. Retreats should certainly include a while just for fun. For example, possibly the women may go to eat together or attend a museum.

The organizer from the retreat must also request each one of the ladies to create areas of the foods that'll be required for the big event if food won't be supplied by the lodging facility. In addition, the individual assembling the big event must help remind the ladies of they should provide the retreat, including toiletries, a Bible, paper, pen, etc.

Finally, the organizer should think about a workout that breaks the ice for everybody attending the retreat. Possibly the women can sit inside a circle and introduce themselves. Following this, they are able to each mention what introduced these to the big event. Additionally, she should possibly constitute little gift bags to provide as thank yous towards the ladies attending the big event. Also, plenty of pictures ought to be taken in the retreat to commemorate it and capture different reminiscences.

To conclude, you will find lots of steps associated with planning for a Christian retreat for ladies. Included in this are selecting a style for that event, gathering retreat materials, delivering out invites, creating a retreat schedule which includes here we are at fun, asking ladies to talk about in getting foods, and creating an ice breaking exercise for individuals attending the retreat. In addition, little favors give a nice method to express gratitude towards the women attending the big event, and a lot of pictures should automatically get to commemorate the retreat.

Top Ten Invitation Mistakes

Digital media has run rampant, with People in america choosing to transmit e-cards, e-vites, and emails over traditional cards, invites and letters. Email is bothersome, costly, and usually undesirable inside a world where clicking a control button will get immediate results. One major exception for this rule is essential occasions, for example business functions or wedding ceremonies. Although it might be convenient to construct a fast event on Facebook, digital medium cannot yet reflect the significance and formality expressed by receiving an invite within the mail. Simultaneously, first birthday celebrations, pig roasts, and holiday festivities have a powerful hold within the paper invitation world.

If you're seated to compose the invitation wording for the latest event (regardless if you are printing them yourself or getting a web-based store print it for you personally), you might feel uncertain by what to incorporate and just what to prevent. This is a comprehensive guide to the peak 10 mistakes produced by invitation beginners and experts alike.

Departing off details are undoubtedly the greatest and many consequential mistake. Failing to remember to incorporate the date or RSVP information can lead to wasted money, time, and paper. So, if you have all your wording put together, have a quick see this record to make certain everything you need to be on there's incorporated. Your particular event might not require everything below, or it might even require a little more.

The kind of event: Bridal Shower, Birthday, etc. Make certain you say what your visitors are attending, even when it appears apparent for you.Person of Recognition: Make certain to incorporate the title of the individual who the big event is perfect for! If it's a company event, you will need to range from the title of the business for both educational and marketing reasons. (Last names are optional for informal occasions, and therefore are very uncommon when mentioning to children's parties unless of course there's any possibility of ambiguity.)Time and date: You will find essential! BOTH ought to be incorporated without fail. It's best, when giving the date, to list out your day too, so that your visitors could make one more connection (ex. Sunday, May ninth). Time must always stick to the date.Location and Address: It is best to have the position of the event. Set up address can also be needed will be different with respect to the character of the event and also the visitors you're inviting.Hosts: Make sure to have just a little credit! You don't have to stress your title actually, the host title generally seems more compact compared to additional information. But, it is crucial that your visitors don't have any doubts on who's tossing the party or event.RSVP Information: This could incorporate a telephone number, their email, a title, or even a date through which an answer is required.Additional Instructions/Information: Anything additional that the visitors absolutely have to know ought to be incorporated. This may be dress style, registry information, warning the party is really a surprise, admittance costs, or other number of information specific towards the character of the event. If including directions, individuals are usually placed on another place and this is not on the invitation itself. However, with the simplicity of use of address mapping on the web, directions are hardly ever needed. One major exception could be for off-site parking.

Among the greatest faux pas of invitation wording is applying inappropriate abbreviations for that event. The general rule is: The greater formal the big event, the less abbreviations used. This stretches to any or all abbreviations, even ones which are so commonplace you will possibly not even realize you use them.

Here are a few common abbreviations to prevent inside a highly formal invitation (e.g. a marriage):

Use each morning, within the mid-day, and at night rather than a.m. and p.m.Create the title from the condition by which your event is situated rather than while using two-letter abbreviation (NY becomes New You are able to).Never use slang like through or 'til, and steer clear of all contractions (don't, it's, will not).Substitute words for symbols whenever you can. Make use of the word until rather than a touch (-) for that event time. Use at rather than "@."Create all amounts. In case your event is April 23, 2010, write the twenty-third day's April, two 1000 and ten or April the twenty-third, two 1000 and ten, the previous to be the most formal option.

Generally, the only real acceptable abbreviations for highly formal invites are individuals of game titles (Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.). On less formal invites, the suggestions above abbreviations are okay in different levels. You might want to think about the message you're delivering for your visitors before using slang. In case your event is really a laid-back get-together, it'll place your visitors within the mood for any relaxing and casual time. In case your event is much more business casual, you might like to avoid some items of it.

Another common confusion, particularly when searching at a large number of good examples, may be the appropriate spelling for several words. With spelling different between dialects, it may sometimes keep your correct usage up in mid-air.

Here are the errors I see most frequently:

Recognition versus. honor - That one is simpler than you believe! Recognition may be the American spelling, and honor may be the British and Canadian spelling. Stick to the spelling for that country that you as well as your visitors live. This is the situation with color and colour and many short that finish in -or or -our.Till versus. 'til - Within this situation, just one option is technically correct. Till is really a preposition you can use interchangeably with until and it has a virtually identical meaning. It's not an abbreviation of until, but instead its very own separate word. Both words have co-been around in British for a while. Oppositely, 'til is definitely an abbreviated type of until, and it has become an recognized (although slang) area of the British language with a, though many consider it a spelling error.Its versus. It's - Found improperly interchanged on way over just invites, both of these similar words shouldn't be confused! It's is really a contraction generally meaning it's and from time to time meaning it's. For instance: It's (It's) three o'clock each morning! It's (It's) been stopped. The right use because of its is really as the possessive type of the pronoun it. For instance: The duck gingerly plucked its down. Please, place the dresser on its side to maneuver it.There, their, and they are - Possibly the 3 most confused homonyms in British. There distant describes a location: there. Their is really a possessive pronoun used most frequently with they: They put their caps in mid-air. They are is really a contraction meaning they're: They are (They're) all visiting our party on Saturday. Since these test is all used so generally, it's not hard to confuse them if you do not evaluate this is: They are there using their buddies.

Punctuation is definitely up for debate. Though you might not be writing articles or perhaps a brilliant work of fiction, you will find still rules that should be adopted for punctuation. If this involves invitation wording, there might be multiple choices for certain situations.

Some fundamental recommendations:
The elusive period - If this involves invitation wording you may either include it or exclude it in the finish of the sentences. Generally, if you have an entire sentence (not only place and time information) it warrants punctuation. However, you might want to leave ending punctuation from your whole invitation. They way to succeed is consistency: either include it or don't.Commas inside a date - To start dating ? might have as much as three commas inside it. These commas pursue your day, following the date, after the entire year. If you don't range from the year, then you don't need to place a comma following the date. However, should you range from the year it should always be then a comma. The exception is that if the date seems on the line simply by itself:Saturday, March 27, 20102:00 p.m.orSaturday, March 27, 2010, at 2:00 p.m.Time markers - The right form is really a.michael. and p.m. Always lower situation and try to having a period after each letter. (The choice A.M. and P.M. are occasionally recognized.) There must be an area following the number, although not between your letters: 1:00 p.m. or 11:00 a.m. Just in case there's any confusion, 12:00 a.m. is night time and 12:00 p.m. is noon. Also, rather than writing 12:00 noon it is best to give either as supplying both is redundant: at 12:00 p.m. or at noon.RSPV - These letters ought to always be capitalized and without periods. It's an abbreviation for repondez s'il vous plait meaning please reply in French. Therefore, it's redundant to state Please RSVP because it is the same as saying "Please please reply." Some sources will discover R.S.V.P. a suitable abbreviation too. Let's (or Let us) - Be sure to place the apostrophe! Allows is incorrect, though your spell check won't pick on the error because it is a conjugation from the verb "to allowInch (ex., My mother never allows me eat snacks before dinner.).

No matter the conditions, mentioning an expected gift by any means is unacceptable. The main one exception is when you're hosting a bridal/baby shower celebration. During these situations, stating that a financial gift is preferred continues to be considered inappropriate along with a major breach of etiquette. Putting away what's expected by social norms, you should remember how sensitive an problem cash is for most of us. Although a financial gift might be the finish result, similarly info could be spread by person to person rather than being printed.

Check, make sure, and triple look at your invitation. Search for minor typos and incorrect spelling, especially in the names. Make sure your day and date are correct. Confirm occasions and telephone numbers. Spend some time in searching it over, as minor mistakes may cause bigger issues. (Accidentally typing that the event begins at 4:00 rather than 7:00 might be disastrous!)

Have a look at how big your invitation. More compact invites can house less wording than bigger ones, as well as more decorated invites should reflect less wording. Keep the invitation short and sweet while still including all the details needed. A line or a couple of introduction wording is much more than sufficient (ex. "Please come along for..."). Lengthy and wordy poems may seem nice when read, but finish up jumbled and crowded in publications. Also, turning your whole invitation to some large poem is within general an awful idea, because it hampers visual emphasis and comprehension.

Certain occasions lend themselves towards the inclusion of the small quote around the invitation (i.e., Graduations, First Communions, Wedding ceremonies). When such as the quote, ensure that you get it sentence after sentence precisely in the source. Many online quote websites happen to be replicated multiple occasions using their company sources, and minor mistakes happen to be transported through. If you possess the time, attempt to mind to some library or book shop and duplicate your quote from the initial.

You will find a lot of invites available, in each and every number of style, theme, and shape. You will find layered, die-cut, adorned, slim, and textured choices to title a couple of. Because of so many options, you will need to make sure that the invitation you've selected is suitable for the event along with your budget. For instance, it could look absurd to possess a fun, trendy the perception of a proper business event (even when the theme fits). Further, regardless of how beautiful the sparkling aqua invites you available at a good deal cost are, it's unlikely the layers and bows could be right for a swimming pool party.

Visual emphasis is an integral part of creating any invitation. The title and event generally desire to be given more emphasis (bigger size, different font, bolded), as the RSVP and host section ought to be given less (more compact font, off aside). Putting extra emphasis within the wrong place could make your visitors confused and may leave the incorrect impression. An over-all ordering worth focusing on is the following:

Title of HonoreeEventDate & TimeLocationHostsRSVP InformationRegistry/Other Info.

For those who have adopted all of the points above, your invitation is probably perfect and able to go. If uncertain, don't hesitate to obtain the advice of the friend or friend. Ultimately, keep in mind that your vision and ears are the best judge. Have a glance over your paper and check out reading through the invitation aloud. If there's anything sill amiss, your senses will probably catch it.

Listing of 21 Good Dares for enjoying Truth or Dare

On sleepovers, college parties and birthdays, Truth or Dare still is the most popular game ever. The only problem is: people run out of ideas for good dares pretty fast. Check out this list of dares for the next time you play Truth or Dare!

1. Get your wrists and legs tied together for 5 minutes

This dare is especially evil if other dares have to be completed with tied hands afterwards. You can even tie different players together for added fun.

2. Go out and feed at least one cat in the neighborhood

3. Pin a coin against the wall with your nose for 3 min

This dare is much harder than it sounds. Especially if your friends make you laugh in the meantime.

4. Act as if you are crying and describe your worst date

Get creative and make some good drama. Let others have fun with your little scene!

5. Act like a dog and get out in the courtyard for 5 min

Tail wagging, leg lifting, barking - your dog names it, you do it!

6. Ask the most beautiful person of the party for a kiss

This is a very sweet dare. Whomever you ask will get this not-so-subtle compliment. But it's still cute. Go get that kiss!

7. Go outside the next time you have to go to the toilet

This one is easy for the guys to do.

Easy, sexy or horrible dare. Depending on the back of the person you are licking!

11. Sing a really romantic song with a hard and dry voice

Have the girls do this dare. It'll be fun for everyone!

16. Think of your favorite swear word and yell it out loud

17. You have to ask out the next person coming in the room

Or you can go up to him or her and try to get a kiss in. Don't get slapped!

18. Exchange one piece of clothing with your right neighbor

Have a girl and a guy with very different sizes do it for added fun.

19. Have a pointless conversation with a stranger for a min.

The key is to hold the conversation for a full minute. This will seem longer than you think. If you fail, start over.

20. Have someone pour a glass of cold water down your pants.

That's it: hope you can make good use of those dares for Truth or Dare. Don't get too crazy with it. Truth or Dare parties are all about the fun, not so much about having someone feeling guilty or disgusted.

Existence Of The Poor Person

Existence like a battling family trying to reside in the real life. This is the way most existence is really whenever you live these days. Existence after i was becoming an adult was hard not only for me personally and my loved ones. I recall my earliest reminiscences have hard occasions with my farther working a lot of hrs that my dad was seldom home. My dad were built with a delivery service for any general super market after i would be a child. I recall twelve months it snowed 24 inches of snow my dad needed to walk-through all of this snow in nearly twenty below temperature to simply obtain the bit of food us can afford to consume.

Existence was always difficult becoming an adult my dad made about $ 100 per week we reside in a three room apartment four the six people. I recall i was so sick constantly whenever we were youthful that my dad needed to work around he could simply to try pay all of the hospital bills which were constantly coming due. I recall Christmas will come around and there is so very little money that my loved ones seldom were built with a real Christmas. I recall twelve months it had been around The holiday season my parents had reserve about $ 100 to buy our Christmas then my older brother knocked a pot of boiling hot coffee water over his stomach. There went our Christmas, a healthcare facility bills ate that cash up and much more. I recall the painful check my fathers face as he needed to tell his children there could be no Christmas this season.

I recall my loved ones was without ten new out fits for those four people kids to where you can school. My dad did compensated one 120 dollars annually to transmit us to Catholic school. I recall I had been about seven years of age returning home from soccer practice someone to see my poor mother putting on a set of men`s footwear so her children had clothes to put on to college. I recall time when my mother really needed to make spaghetti sandwiches for all of us kids to consider to college. Occasions were so difficult in my family after i was becoming an adult that people couldn't manage to remain in this apartment anymore. I recall we packed all of our possessions up and my dad bought this tent where all of us went camping for additional a year.

My loved ones and that i spent the summer time and half the wintertime within this camping ground. there is six people coping with this large collie in a single military tent. I was stuffed within this tent like luggage all attempting to sleep. I recall we resided on pork and beans for several weeks to consume. I recall i was so poor us kids needed to play the camping ground in women`s pants 50 % of time because there is so very little money. I recall the terrible smell which use to range from out houses after i visited the restroom. I recall we'd go days without having the ability to have a shower. That tent smelled really bad sometimes wonderful my loved ones in a single tent. I recall the enjoyment occasions me and my siblings had playing football along with other children at the camping ground.

I recall it had been late October when my parents made the decision that me and my mother together with my youngest brother would go ahead and take bus as much as my moms parents in Canada for any 4 or 5 several weeks. I recall that people were eating potted meat around the bus just trying result in the more then three day and evening ride from Chicago to Vancouver Canada to my grand parents. I had been so sick from riding with that bus for 3 straight days or weeks. I recall whenever we showed up in the bus station my cousin was there waiting having a cab to consider us to my grandma and grandpa apartment. I recall my buddy and that i ate and rested for nearly 2 days straight. I sure was glad to get away from that tent and right into a clean mattress. I recall it had been the very first time I'd a mattress and room where there is nobody within the same area.

I recall it was the very first time within six several weeks since i have had clean clothes and food to consume which was not peanut butter or pork and beans. My grandma and grandpa weren't wealthy or perhaps middle-class but they're the very best grandma and grandpa a youthful kid could ever request for. My mother was going without something to ensure that her children might have better. My grandma and grandpa ensured that my buddy and that i had newer and more effective clothes and good food time that people have there been.

I recall it had been four several weeks before my dad had found a location for people to reside therefore we needed to go ahead and take bus to Chicago. My dad had leased hotels only at that hotel for 35 dollars per week.I recall my older brother saying how which had rested on bakery baskets for the entire time i was gone within the freezing cold truck.I recall discovering that my dad needed to put our collie to rest because our dog became to wild while remaining in the camping ground. I recall she am bad when we folded over on her behalf tail in the end were sleeping our dog would bite us so my dad needed to have her set aside. I felt so lost for that longest time this dog was a part of us.

One time i first entered room a how small it had been for those six of my loved ones to reside. I recall the 4 years how my mom and dad labored so difficult just make certain that us kids had one meal each day to consume before going to sleep during the night. I ate a lot of poker chips for supper because chips were a nickel and pop was cent. I visited school at Emerson school in my sixth through eighth grade. I recall dealing with my dad after school delivering groceries I had been 13 years of age likely to school and dealing with my dad after school til around night time just to keep money arriving in my family to consume. I recall all of the early years there is no holidays for all of us we'd become accustomed not to getting money to pay for to put money into holidays that people rarely considered holidays. For me personally and my loved ones holidays were yet another normal day. I recall i was so poor that me and my loved ones never visited a physician or dental professional from the moment I had been seven until my dad grew to become sick after i was 19 years of age.

My dad were built with a bad heart and bad lung area from many years of smoking he couldn't work anymore. I recall the very first job I ever endured out side of part-time work doing odd jobs what food was in the identical hotel where i was living like a desk clerk. I recall this task compensated $ 2 and 60 five cents and hour. I could afford my very own clothes and food the very first time within my existence. I had been so proud to possess this task I had been really earning money of my very own and so i weren't required to rely on my parents for food or clothes. I needed to work my 60 hrs per week and take proper care of my dad simultaneously. I recall the very first time I ever bought new clothing and footwear I had been so proud which i had labored to possess so new clothing the very first time within my existence. I ate a lot while working the following 4 years which i was finally nick named the cow by my loved ones since i am body fat from consuming food that my loved ones usually never afford. It was the way i grew to become overweight for a long time ahead.

I recall as time passed My parents existed in the home that my older brother had bought to book as flats however your accommodation where i was controlling was offered and that we were both from jobs therefore we all moved in to the apartment upstairs where once more I needed to live off my fathers social security. I recall by know my dad was constantly on oxygen constantly in individuals days. My dad was getting sicker through the year. I recall the for quite some time that adopted occasions were so difficult just attempting to survive like a family . Then my older brother had a job controlling another hotel within the city so my siblings and my mother visited help. I had been in the house attempting to help my dad out while he could not breath at that time.

I finally were built with a my which you may working construction when my earliest brother began contracting from the realty company. I spent the following 5 years learning every trade which i could within the construction business. I had been generating money i quickly every considered I possibly could since i was working a hundred hrs per week. My sex life could never get started since i was always working. I possibly could never invest in getting a someone else within my existence . It was not because I didn't love the ladies that came and left my existence. I had been so deeply in love with that one girl however i was always working which means this lady known as us a machine. I merely permit this to lady leave my existence. I recall what it's prefer to find it difficult to live like a kid. I recall the seeing the discomfort within my fathers face when there is no holidays for all of us as children.I recall the appearance if my mother needing to put on men`s footwear to ensure that her children might have some clothes to put on to college.

I recall losing I felt when some lady would leave my existence. I had been so driven to possess everything which i couldn't have after i was youthful. I had been so driven to make certain which i could eat or where any factor I needed. I'd work numerous hrs to possess every factor which i wanted this is exactly what occurs when you develop poor. I needed to possess more personally. I simply didn't wish to have a household that would need to do without. I had been so driven to possess that even if I hurt myself at work I wouldn't even visit a physician. I remember when i almost cut three fingers of my left hands whenever a six feet level struck my left hands although it was lounging across metallic floor plate. I put splints around the really bad cuts and returned to operate. I remember when i were built with a vehicle crash into the rear of my legs. My legs were swelling up just like a football. I'd the bloodstream drained of my legs rather than returned towards the physician. I've had numerous injuries through the years yet I have not gone the the physician. I recall my dad working all day long with third degree burns on his shoulders from boiling warm water. I recall once my dad broke his shoulder whenever we were in the ball area then visited the physician to be set. In the morning my dad required from the splint and began while he were built with a family to aid. I am unable to even think of the type of discomfort he or she must have experienced through to visit work . I learned very youthful when you're poor you reside with injuries that many people couldn't even bare.

These are the stuff that I learned being poor after i was becoming an adult. I have faith that nobody should need to go through most factor that I've come across or resided. I learned to need to much drive to operate and never enough to take time to love and live. I don't undergo eventually in which the discomfort from over working my joints don't hurt and swell from to much work which i did.

I possibly could talk about hard occasions that me and my loved ones have undergone. That does not mean there is very little good occasions and fun for me personally and my loved ones.I'm not penning this from self pity. I'm penning this article to share with people by what being poor is actually like. I skipped on understanding the good occasions of investing holidays with the family. I truly am a self educated guy on the price of being born right into a poor and battling family. My loved ones and that i have remained so close through all of this plus much more.

Hopefully this information will help individuals to realise why I would like a much better life-style for those our people. I have faith that if democracy is actually likely to arrange it needs to be for those people regardless of race religion or sexual preference. I have faith that no child should need to go with no fundamental daily needs. I pray that this information will alter the future for thus many families that are connecting need to see their kids go without. For this reason I have faith that our country must get together for those our people. I truly do think that people can reserve their variations to create existence within our country fair for those people I have faith that every child warrants an opportunity to possess a fulfilling existence.

Of course I write based.

The Preparation For Leadership

Introduction

Generally, people ascribe the success or failure of a leader to their qualification or fitness to lead. For this reason when leaders are sought in the secular world, the qualifications of the individuals are usually given primary considerations. On the contrary, a close examination of the call of great leaders God used in the Bible reveals that God was not primarily concerned about qualifications. Eims Leroy, observed that Leaders like Moses, Gideon and Jeremiah openly confessed their inadequacy to perform the task God called them to do.1 If God was looking for qualified men then he would not have called them.

Does it then mean that preparations are not necessary for Leadership? According to Gottfried Osei-Mensah, there are prerequisites for spiritual leadership.2 This statement implies that some form of preparation is necessary. In addition, it is clear from scripture that every leader that God used had certain qualities or abilities that were necessary in performing their task. This observation however poses a question: Were those leaders prepared for their calling or did they just happen to have the qualities God required? With God, things do not happen by chance, therefore the thesis of this article is, those whom God used in the Bible as leaders were always prepared for their task.

To clarify this thesis statement selected leaders in the Bible are examined. The goal is, first to prove that the leaders were prepared for leadership and second, to determine the nature of the preparation and its importance to the leaders' call.

The following three categories of leaders have been selected for this study:

a) Those whose call and commission came as a surprise to them
b) Those who were mentored by their predecessor
c) Those who assumed leadership as a result of a crisis.

Under each leader the presentation will also be divided into three sections:

a) His life history before his call to leadership;
b) His leadership role and achievements;
c) Summary of the specific ways he was prepared for leadership. Finally an

evaluation would be made and conclusions drawn.

A. LEADERS WHOSE CALL AND COMMISSION CAME AS A SURPRISE

Among the leaders whose call and commission came as a surprise were Moses and Paul. These were leaders who had personal encounter with God whilst they were pursuing their own goals in life. These leaders would now be discussed individually to determine how each of them was prepared for leadership.

Moses

a) His life history before his call to leadership

The Bible, in Exodus Chapter 2-5, discusses the life of Moses from the time of his birth to that of his call. According to this section, Moses was born in Egypt by Hebrew parents. But because of an edict by Pharaoh to kill all the Hebrew baby boys, his mother was unable to raise him up from childhood to adulthood. However, by what can be termed divine providence, Howard F. Vos stated that Moses probably spent the first two or three 'years of his life with his own mother.3 The remaining period of his first forty years was spent in the palace as an adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter. Commenting on the years Moses spent in Pharaoh's palace, John C. Maxwell observed that he received the best of what Egypt offered both physically as well as intellectually. Maxwell cited Acts 7:22 which states that Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and deeds.4

In spite of the fact that he was raised up in Pharaoh's palace Moses acknowledged his Hebrew identity. He had to flee Egypt because he killed an Egyptian to protect an oppressed Hebrew. The next forty years of his life he spent in Midian tending the flock of Jethro. It was in Midian, at about 80 years of age that God made the surprised call to him.

b) His leadership role and achievements

In this section the goal is just to make a brief reflection of Moses' main task and achievements. According to John D. Hannah, in his commentary on Exodus, God commissioned Moses to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt. He showed how that call and commission came as a complete surprise to Moses.5 Although God also promised to take the Israelites to a good and spacious land, that commission, according to Hannah, was not given to Moses. To support his point, he made reference to Stephen's statement about Moses' mission in Acts 7:35-36, implying that there was no indication that Moses was supposed to take the Israelites to the promise land.6 Moses indeed accomplished the task God gave him in spite of all his objections about his inability when God called him. This was because he accepted in faith God's assuring words that he would be with him to accomplish that mission and also because of his ambition to deliver the Israelites from slavery. Commenting on the aspect of his ambition, Ted Engstrom pointed out that "he never lost sight of his ambition and calling in life which made it possible".7 Throughout his mission these words of assurance had been a motivation for him.

In addition, Maxwell rightly observed, over the course of the years in the desert, Moses' leadership improved. He cited Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, as one person who helped to make that difference in his life.

Moses also accomplished something else that was not explicitly stated in scripture. D.A. Hubbard, in his article on the Pentateuch said that both Judaism and Christianity accepted without question the biblical tradition that Moses wrote the Pentateuch.8 These writings had been great materials not just for spiritual purpose but also for academic purpose.

Paul

a) His life history before his call to leadership

According to Act 21:39;22:3, Paul was a native of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia. He was of pure Jewish descent and of the tribe of Benjamin (Phil 3:5). He was a Hebrew and a Pharisee. He spoke Greek and was familiar with Aramaic (Acts 22:2). Paul, learned tent making because it was customary that all Jewish boys learn a trade.

In his book, 'Paul the Leader', Oswald J. Sanders made this observation about Paul: "all the formative years were calculated, to prepare him to be an eminent Pharisee and Rabbi like his great mentor Gamaliel".9 Paul studied under Gamaliel, a distinguished teacher of the law and of the school of Hillel. Sanders also observe that the school of Hillel embraced a broader and more liberal view in education than that of Shammai - the other distinguished school.10 In addition, Sanders stated that unlike the school of Shammai, the school of Hillel was interested in Greek literature. In that school, Paul learned to use works of Gentile authors. He surpassed his fellow-students in both academic achievements and in zeal for both God and the tradition of his fathers. He was almost a member of the Sanhedrin, the supreme legal and civil court.11

b) His leadership role and achievements

Oswald Sanders, noted that Paul became a great spiritual leader when his heart and mind were captured by Jesus.12 Such statements could not have been made if Paul had not made great achievements in the role God gave him to perform. Another writer, Ted E. Engstrom gave the background to Paul's success: "a Jew living in a Greek city, and with a Roman citizenship. Both by birth and training Paul possessed the tenacity of the Jews, the culture of the Greeks and the practicality of the Romans, and these qualities enabled him to adapt to the people among whom he was to move"13. According to Acts Chapter 9, when Paul encountered the Lord Jesus he was commissioned to take the gospel message to the gentiles. Records of Paul's accomplishments of his commission can be found in Acts Chapters 13-28. These included missionary journeys to gentile territories, Church planting, training or teaching ministries among the gentiles and successful debates with secular philosophers.

In addition Paul also wrote thirteen of the New Testament Epistles. In these epistles he dealt with important theological concepts like justification, sanctification and the resurrection of Christ. Various portions of defense of the Christian faith against secular philosophies are also included in these epistles. According to 2Tim. 4:7, Paul was sure he accomplished God's mission for his life when he stated that he has fought the good fight, finished the race and kept the faith.

B. LEADERS WHO WERE MENTORED BY THEIR PREDECESSOR

The second categories of leaders to be examined are those who were mentored by their predecessor. Among such leaders are Joshua, who succeeded Moses and Samuel, who succeeded Eli. These two leaders will be examined individually in this section.

Joshua

a) His life history before his call to leadership

The Bible gave a brief family background of Joshua in Exodus 33:11; Num. 1:10. He was the son of Nun, the son of Elishama, head of the tribe of Ephraim. Apart from this background, there is no other information about him before he met Moses. The scriptures gave much focus to Joshua's mentoring relationship with Moses. This close working relationship between them can be traced in scripture.

According to exodus 24:13, when Moses went up Sinai to receive the two tablets for the first time Joshua accompanied him part of the way and was the first to meet him on his return (32:17). Also when the Israelites sinned by worshiping the golden calf, Moses moved the tabernacle outside the camp and left the congregation in charge of Joshua. In addition, Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. It was only after about forty years of mentoring by Moses in the desert that God directed Moses to give Joshua leadership authority over the people.

In his book, 'Leadership Images from the New Testament', David Bennett mentioned four steps in developing a leader from the example of Jesus. These are:

a) To develop leaders who have learned to follow
b) To train within the context of personal apprenticeship.
c) To make commitment to the community as well as training for a task.
d) To stress on the spiritual aspects of leadership.14

These four steps can be found in the almost forty years mentoring relationship between Moses and Joshua. As Engstrom rightly puts it "Moses had the right attitude, when he knew it was time to train someone else for leadership. He was fearful of being a paternal leader and pleaded with God to give the Israelite a successor".15 This might have been one of the reasons why he devoted himself to mentor Joshua.

b) His leadership role and achievements

Joshua's role was made clear to him when he was commissioned as the leader of Israel. His call and commission was mediated through Moses. In Numbers 27:12-22 the Lord reminded Moses that he would not enter the promise Land and that Joshua would replace him. Moses obeyed the Lord's instructions and commissioned Joshua before the whole Israelite assembly. This commission kept Joshua in focus throughout his mission and he kept his faith in the one who called him. As Donald K. Campbell rightly observed, Joshua interceded for the nation when the Israelites sinned and were defeated.16 God's mandate was that Joshua would lead the Israelites to the Promise Land and he depended on him to accomplish that mandate. Commenting on the charge given to Joshua to be strong and courageous in Josh. 1:6, Campbell also said it was an affirmation that God would not let Joshua down.17 However this may also be seen as an indication that prior to the time he became Israel's leader he had potentials, which he needed to build up in leadership.

Details of how Joshua accomplished his mission have been recorded in the book of Joshua. The conquest of Canaan was however not an easy one but Joshua's training as a military leader and his dependence upon God gave him added advantage. He made mistakes but he learned from his mistakes.

Samuel

a) His life history before his call to leadership

According to John C. Maxwell, Samuel was special from the time he was born because he was an answer to prayer. He further commented that, as young child, Samuel was placed in the care of Eli the High priest and Judge of Israel.18 This revealed that the mentoring relationship between Eli and Samuel started quite early in Samuel's life. Like Joshua, Samuel stayed in the same place with his mentor. In addition, at a very early age, God began to speak directly to him and that motivated him to reverence and serve God faithfully. The role played by Hannah in initiating this mentoring relationship should not be overlooked. McChesney and Unger said that it was a vow that Hannah made to dedicate Samuel to the Lord as a Nazarite.19

b) His Leadership Role and Achievements

To better understand and appreciate Samuel's achievements, one should first examine the religious, political and social situations prior to his assumption to leadership. Eugene H, Merrill rightly observed that "the 300 or so years of the history of Israel under the Judges were marked by political, moral, and spiritual anarchy and deterioration". It was in this background, where all seemed to have failed that Samuel was groomed and also took up leadership.20

With reference to his achievements, "Samuel's level of influence with the people continued to increase throughout his lifetime. As a prophet, he was respected because he spoke from God. But in time Samuel also became Israel's Judge, a position similar to that of a king. He was the nation's civil and military leader. Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life".21 Indeed, only leaders with certain qualities can achieve what Samuel achieved. It was that kind of excellent leadership that God was looking for in order to address the deteriorating situation in Israel. Israel enjoyed a time of peace during Samuel's reign.

C. LEADERS WHO ASSUME LEADERSHIP AS A RESULT OF A CRISIS

During the period between the death of Joshua and the start of Samuel's leadership, many people ruled Israel as Judges. All of them came to leadership as a result of a crisis need. Gideon and Samson were two of the Judges who ruled Israel at that time. They will be examined in this section, as representatives of the Judges, to determine whether they were prepared for their leadership roles.

Gideon

a) His life history before his call to leadership

In Judges chapter 6-8 the Bible gave a brief historic account of Gideon's family background. He was the son of Joash the Abiezrite. He was also of the tribe of Manasseh. One may want to suggest that Gideon had no quality or potential for leadership before he became a leader. This assumption is proved wrong in the light of the angel's greetings to Gideon - "mighty man of valor" (Judg. 6:12). As Joyce Peel rightly said, "the angel calls out his hidden qualities which we see developing in the rest of the story".22

It can be seen that Gideon already had faith in God from a question he asked the angel - where are all the wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, "Did not the lord bring us up out of Egypt?" His parents have made him realize that in the past they have depended on God for survival. However, Gideon wanted an assurance that it was the God of his fathers talking to him, so he asked God to give him a sign (:17). Joyce Peel's comment on Gideon's request is that "it isn't for the sort of sign an unbeliever asks to evade a challenge but for a sign to confirm to a believer who is ready to obey".23 Gideon was convinced that God was speaking to him and based on that fact he responded to the call to meet the Midianite crisis.

b) His Leadership Role and Achievements

Gideon was called to perform a specific role and that was to deliver Israel from the Midianites. He had a clear vision in mind as to what he had to do. He also believed that he could accomplish his goal because he had the assurance of God. In addition he had inner qualities, which gave him enough courage to move into action, even though he started at night. Gideon delivered the Israelites from the Midianites' oppression but he first brought them back to faith in God. However, immediately after his death the people turned back to their foreign gods.

Samson

a) His life history before his call to leadership

In Judges Chapter 13-16 the Bible gave an account of Samson's life. Samson was the son of Manoah of Zorah and of the tribe of Dan. His birth was foretold to his parents by an angel. They were also told that he would be a Nazarite to God from the womb Iudg. 13:2-5,24). The Bible also says in Judg 3:24-25 that God blessed him and that the spirit of God began to stir him up while he was in Mahaneh Dan. From this account it can be observed that Samson was a man of unusual strength. In Hebrews 11:32 he was recognized as of the great men of faith. During Samson's time the philistines were suppressing the Israelites.

b) His leadership role and achievements

Samson's call and commission was mediated through his parents. According to Judges 13:5 he was to start the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the philistines. As John Mazwell rightly points out, "despite his good start, Samson got himself into trouble many times, and in the end he finished poorly: he was weak, blind and enslaved by the enemy from whom he was supposed to deliver his people."24 Samson had the opportunity of becoming a great leader but his despicable character destroyed his leadership.

Conclusion

Three categories of leaders have been examined in this chapter to prove that the people that God called to leadership in the Bible were always prepared for their tasks. The first category of leaders were those whose call came as a surprise to them. The second were those who were mentored by their predecessor and the third, were those who responded to a crisis. It was proved that all of these leaders had some form of preparation necessary for their particular calling. These preparations may come from God, their parents, religious background, formal education or a mentor. Therefore one could conclude that God does not call any person to leadership who had not been prepared. God's call or one preparation does not guarantee success because the preparation for effective leadership does not end with one's call.
