Hello Ladies

How has your start to the year been?

As we are now in February, I trust that you are underway with your goals for 2012, ensur-ing that you have the necessary tools and resources for your to achieve these goals. If you need mentoring and advice to ensure that you achieve what you set out to achieve, please feel free to contact us.

We have lots of exciting things happening at Empowered Woman; most importantly look out for information on our conference on the 31st of March. It promises to be a wonderful time of renewing, refreshing and re energising you to move beyond where you are in your mind-set, in your performance and in your spiritual development.

I was wondering what my opening article to you would be for the month of February, knowing fully well that we are set to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the 14th of the month. But as I started to write on the topic love, I heard in my spirit the title:

There is a Process to Building

As you know everything to do with our life and leaving a legacy starts with building, to hand something over to the next generation, the building process means laying the foun-dation, having the right tools and resources, counting the cost of your building and the time it will take. So much has to be taken into consideration, but you still need to pass something over to your children and your children’s children. We are told that a good man/woman leaves an inheritance for his/her children’s children. What have you started building and what will you pass on to your children?

If you have children, look at them and think to yourself, what legacy am I building so that I can pass onto them when I am gone? The truth is that whatever it is you are building; make sure it is something that will involve them spreading the gospel. That’s the best inheritance you can ever give them, something you have started and they can continue when you’re gone.

“Is your jar of oil overflowing or maintained. You can only give from an over-flowing jar of oil”. Have you registered for the Empowered Woman Conference? Don’t Miss this Life Changing Experience”.

To fulfil your potential to the maximum, your jar must be overflowing. Never allow it get to a state where it is being maintained or else you will find yourself in a place of stagnation.

We’ve moved into a season where there is a demand on our lives to have an overflowing jar of oil, your creativity flows from that oil but it must be over-flowing and that means you have to be connected to the source that gives you eternal life because without it, everything else will continue for a period until you refill.

Whatever mandate you’re operating under, the effect must be a transfor-mation of lives and without an overflowing jar of oil, how can lives be trans-formed through your hands?

The Empowered Woman Conference is set to empower you to understand how to transform your empty or maintained jar of oil to an overflowing one.

Don’t miss this conference; it may be just what the Doctor has ordered in prep-aration for your ne season of change.

Stepping Out! Dupe Makinde

God’s Grace

Foundation (GGF)

Dupe Makinde is the Visionary and

Director of God’s Grace Foundation

(GGF). GGF is a UK based charity that

is reaching children and young people

in the UK and Africa. She believes that

everyone has potentials and they can

realise these potentials regardless of

their background if they believe in

themselves. She started GGF in No-

vember 2004 in response to God’s call

on her life to reach children for Jesus.

She believes that every child is precious in God’s sight and He wants them to be whole with nothing missing or broken in their lives.

GGF’s vision is a world where all children and young people can grow and flourish under conditions that allow them to maximise their potential. We believe that to achieve this goal, the spiritual, physical and social needs of children must be met and through our many services, we seek to meet these needs so that children and young people can develop into well rounded adults who can impact their worlds.

One of the first major assignments that Dupe undertook was a successful fact finding mission to Nigeria in January 2005. The trip involved visiting orphanages and schools in the western region of Nigeria. As a result of her visit and through the generous support of a small number of sponsors, GGF commenced the sponsorship of 13 chil-dren in September 2005 and the number keeps increasing. Support includes paying tuition fees for the year, paying for all school supplies (books, stationery, and school uniform), regular medical care, mentoring and providing a cooked meal a day for each child.

In the UK, over 100 young people attend their Youth workshops each year exploring subjects such as Public Speaking, Money Management, Anger Management, Business Enterprise skills, Healthy self-esteem, Etiquette and Modern Manners, Goal setting, Peer pressure and Assertiveness. The core focus of their youth work in the UK is to help young people to believe in themselves so that they can fulfil their potential to the fullest.

They recently launched their Parenting programmes; the aim of their courses is to increase parents’ knowledge, skills and confidence and enjoyment of the parenting role. As a charity inspired by the Christian faith, they believe that we are called to be change makers in our community. They run a quarterly programme to mobilise pray-er for children, young people families in the UK and abroad. Continued on page 4

JACQUELINE NWOKEJI-ANI

Relationships are one of the most complicated issues in the world today.

There are more marriages breaking up than ever before, people prefer to

live with each other without getting married because there’s so much anxie-

ties about marriage.

However, if we do it right, based on God’s Principles you can never mess up.

The adversary is making people go into marriage with rose coloured glasses

so that when you get into it—he messes up your heart through the disap-

pointments.

We need to learn the reality about marriage, the reality that there are prob-

lems, situations and circumstances in marriage, but can be dealt with provid-

ed the right methods are applied and if so, marriage can be simple God’s

Way.

The most perfect person has issues and that’s okay because marriage is all

about healing. That’s why married couples get deeper and deeper in love as

the years pass by.

If you’re single wanting to be married or a married person looking to en-

hance your relationship, you have the opportunity to do it the right way—

God’s Way. Look out for more information on book release and launch date.

Setting Goals in Line with God’s

Principles

At the beginning of every year we are reminded to have a new year’s resolu-tion, everyone is eager and has a list of changes they plan to make to their lives, when such plans are made the intention to achieve them is definitely there. There is a willingness to want to lose weight, get out of debt, and start a business. By the end of January most of these goals are as good as the piece of paper they were written on.

Your Talent is Your Wealth £13.99

“A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men” Prov-erbs18:16

One of the things that were impressed upon my heart at the beginning of this year is the need for parents to help their children to discover their God-given gifts and talents. We need to train our children to use their gifts for the glory of God and to fulfil God’s purposes for their lives.

The main task that we have as parents is to love and nurture our children into responsible adults and to help them realise their potentials. Gifts repre-sent their abilities, talents, capacity and skills. It is what they have in their hands to trade for money, fulfil their purposes and bring glory to God.

When you work with your child to develop his/her tal-ent, you are at the same time building his/her charac-ter as he/she acquires the necessary qualities for suc-cess whilst working on his/her talent. You will teach them how to persevere – the ability to focus and not give up on their passions or lose interest in what they do. Successful people love what they are doing and they do not give up until they reach their goals. We have to teach them the “I can” and “I will” attitude.

We need to spend time with our children to connect with them to notice their interests, likes and dislikes. For the older ones, we need to teach them how to identify their gifts or talents. For example, I have told my 13 year old daughter that she should take note when people say she is very good at specific things. She also needs to take note of the things she particularly likes to do.

It is good practice to expose your children to a wide range of interests. Allow them to take part in different activities. However as they grow older, we should avoid putting them into too many activities and let me them concentrate on areas where they have shown true ex-cellence or advanced ability.

When you help your child to identify and develop their gifts, they will appreciate their own uniqueness and develop a healthy self-esteem. Assist your children to identify and develop their talents. Provide them with

the resources they need to pursue their interests. Ac-cept their uniqueness. Encourage their enthusiasm. Help them to be the best they can by discovering their true potential.

Above all, we should also pray for our children regularly and ask God to reveal their gifts and purposes to you. From experience, I know that God reveals things to us when we pray for our children because He is faithful. He might not tell you everything about their lives but He will reveal some to you.

We need to pray that they will not be lazy because per-fection comes with practice. We need to pray against distractions or unhealthy relationships because wrong associations can hinder them from achieving their pur-pose. As they grow older, they also need to know God for themselves because He is their source and He creat-ed them in His own image. They can only find their true identity in Him.

I pray that God will fill your children with true wisdom, knowledge and understanding and they will be extraor-dinary children in Jesus name.

Shalom,

Dupe Makinde
