📲ONLINE OR OFFLINE PALAVER (INTERNET OR REAL WORLD?)🤷‍♂️

Part 1 - Why Choose One?

This online or offline thing ehn, just have the right perspective biko. If you believe it will work for you, it will; and if you don't, it won't - simple! If you know where this online thing is going, you won't despise it. 

Let's forget those that are great and made it in life with or without it but here is it; both online and offline (internet and real world) now depend on one another because we are in a global and civilized world.

Part 2 - Reward💰

Even those that were not alive when this online thing was invented and made it as great people offline now appear visibly than the people in its time. 

The same with their biography and life works, why? Because they already have both or either influence and/or affluence before dying. 

This is to tell you that, the same way the real world rewards the labour, work and impact of men with influence and/or affluence, such it is for the internet world too. 

Part 3 - Influence and/or affluence?

Although both can stand alone with each influence and/or affluence but for the need of world impact, track record, history, life trust, Dominion and visibility to be fulfilled; both depend on each other, how?

Either ways, you have to start small either on one before the other or with both altogether. But hear is it, this online thing grants influence first before affluence except for those that already have influence and/or affluence in the real world. 

Part 4 - Fake or Real?

So, you see both are real. Both God and the devil have proven through men to men over time that either of these two (especially the once neglected internet world that has spread so fast as good and bad influence all over the world) is not limited at all. 

Both seems fake and real at the same time because the spiritual and supernatural (spirit world-eternity) is more real than the first two. 

Part 5 - Perspective And Criticism

I just hope you have the right perspective. Can we stop criticizing ourselves, either you've made it online or offline without the help of the other? 

Because definitely those who makes use of both effectively don't despise any, it is those that do not have the right perspective about one of them since they haven't paid attention to the efficacy of the other. 

Part 6 - Perspective And Criticism(II)

Whatever you don't make use of effectively or have the right perspective about, you can't value and be successful with. Whatever you dishonour and refuse won't work for you either. 

Stop criticizing those starting small especially online, either because they don't have influence or affluence online and/or offline yet. 

Part 7 - Money Making or Starting Small?

The same way money making is not easy offline (real world) for some, so it is online (internet world) for others (vice versa). The same way money making is easy online for some, so it is offline for others too; vice versa. 

Allow people to build themselves in their own little way to the path of greatness and world impact. Of course, we all know it is necessary to have both influence and affluence in the real world (offline) but is it bad for people to start with the internet (online) when the resources or human capacity to have such results offline are not there? 

Part 8 - The Future and I

Let me tell you, this online thing, the way it is going ehn, it will get to a level no one would be able to do without it and in fact, it would be so presented and offered preferably than the offline thing we've been used to all our lives as humans (like it happened during Covid). 

By God's grace, I've got Flaming Sword Publications and Ministries as a Minister and teacher, leader, writer, author, publisher etc; aside my career and business in view offline. This was what I was born for and I've been exhibiting as potentials offline since childhood; but I had to start online in my teens and early twenties. 

Part 9 - In the Past

You see, what I might not be permitted to start at such a young age offline (real world), God started it with me gradually as I was growing up in schools, churches and society offline before the major online thing. Because irrespective of my little experiences, I might be termed unfit by the real world. 

Over the years, I've made unimaginable and continual impact (influence) than money (affluence) could have gotten me but at the same time, at few times in the past, I've been limited to go far and move fast in making impact (influence) due to lack of resources (affluence) too then. But all the same, Rome wasn't built in a day; neither is success attained overnight without consistency, effective preparation and progress in process. 

Part 10 - What do you think?🤔

So, you think everything I'm doing and I've been up to over the years online (in the internet) will amount to nothing when I gain influence and affluence offline (in the real world)? Obviously an impossible no. 

In fact, both will sit on the foundation of all I've been up to online as a proof for not rising overnight. 

Part 11 - Wisdom - Don't Wait to Start🤔

Now, assume I haven't started at all, waiting to start offline and gain both influence and affluence; imagine the time, process and the struggle to start small which should have happened years before? 

This is what some of our fathers who made it offline (real world) without online (internet) wished happened in their time; they'd have saved years and increase more on impact including influence and affluence. What they now do instead is employ the online people to cover up their lapses - wisdom. 

Part 12 - Diligence - Which Work?🤔

So, the scriptures saying in Ecc 9:10 that "Whatsoever your hands finds to do, do it with your might...", didn't specify the work - if it's big or small, fetching money now or not because it'll grow gradual influence and affluence if you "do it with all your might".

Diligence is "do it well". When you keep on with that little or big thing (work) and you have a reason for doing it, even if you aren't happy with the way it is now; you still have the chance of life and hope to make it big (affluence) and be great in life (influence). 

Part 12 - Diligence - Which WORK? (II)🤔

Whatever is your work - effort; be it business, career, ministry, hubby, potential, purpose, job, task etc; anything that benefits you and others, keep at it while you are still alive, why? 

Because if you are diligent, skillful, excellent, good, competent with it, you will always be admired, demanded and won't take back seat to anyone - mere or ordinary men; only to stand and take front seat to serve and/or sit with kings (Pro 22:29). 

Part 12 - Diligence - Which WORK? (III)🤔

Whatever it is God gives you the strength and grace to do, do it and keep doing it well. Because therein lies your breakthrough and the power to succeed in life. Whatever it is, both physically and/or spiritually. It is only laziness God does not reward. 

Whatever you sow, you reap but is God that sends rain I.e the grace that fertilizes and increases the seed you sow not your effort or anything (business). 

Part 13 - Balanced Equation💯

So, value through skills and work (diligence) coupled with thanksgiving (in and) with prayers and giving (tithe or seed or generousity majorly) to God (and/or to men) will surely grant you both influence and affluence either on internet (online) or in the real world (offline). Remain blessed, Shalom. 

THE END.

If you've been blessed by this short series, kindly write to me, thanks and much love 😍.
