According to her, “there is no gainsaying that an individual who is progress-driven must continue to evolve if he or she wants to remain relevant, adding that methods are dynamic in nature.
“You must continue to evolve if you want to remain relevant, because methods change while principles don’t” she said
Reading from the book of Matthew 7:7 And Matthew 6:14, she submitted that conditions are attached to some realms an individual wants to enter noting that life is lived in seasons just as God wants everyone to be mobile as no one was created to be static.
“You must make conscious efforts to be relevant, else you will expire,people evolve in various stages to progress and mature”, She said.
What added that every time God gives an individual a blessing, he takes a step backwards to see the person’s reaction, adding that every human being is designed to be mobile and not static as life is all about development and advancement.
The International Preacher and Certified Coach warned people to beware of expired mentors, jealous colleagues and parasitic protégé, adding that the caliber of friends one keeps is a reflection of who he or she is.
