In business there is one simple rule:grow or die. Companies on a growth path will take away market share from competitors, create economic profits, & provide returns to shareholders. Those that do not grow tend to stagnate, lose customers & market share, and destroy shareholder value. Mergers & acquisitions(M&A) play a critical role in both sides of this cycle-enabling strong companies to grow faster than competition and providing enterpreneurs rewards for their efforts, and ensuring weaker companies are more quickly swallowed or worse, made irrelevant through exclusion and ongoing share erosion.

The Prophetic Word of God
The word prophecy means to speak forth. God commissions each prophet to fulfill a particular role in God's plan. As interpreters they explain God's acts to men. As spokesman they voice God's truth. They speak messages of hope and inspiration. As prophets they predict future events in God's plan through revelation given by the Holy Spirit. Prophecies are beyond human ability. They include sufficient number of details to eliminate speculation or guessing. God's spoken word: ...for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. The source of prophecy: .... The raising of true prophets...Deu18:15. God works through His prophets...Amos3:7. True prophecy directs attention to Christ. The purposes of Prophecy: 1. To authenticate God's message... Isa41:22. 2. To confirm God's messenger...Jer28v9. 3. To instruct believers...2Peter1v19

The Microscopic Picture
Suppose a wealthy, highly respected man falls in love with a woman of bad reputation who has huge debts. He so love's her that out of all the woman in the world. He chose's to propose marriage to her, by becoming one with her, everything He has would become hers. Than everything He has would become hers, & everything she has would become His. She would gain His honour & riches, & He would take upon Himself her debts & bad reputation. This enormity of Jesus show you His love towards you & of all the wonders that can be yours, if you let Him become One with YOU....

Knowing God's Voice.
Knowing God's voice implies several things 1st: That there is a God. This is the truth that there is a God who is revealed to man through the written word, the Holy Bible. 2nd: That He communicates with man. The written word is God's communication to man. The Bible often repeats the phrase... And God said. 3rd: That man can recognize His voice when He speaks. The Bible verifies that BELIEVERS can know the voice of God. Jesus said~My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me... 4th: That God has something to say. God speaks: Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, Today when you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion... a. The voice of man... Then Peter & the other Apostles answered & said, We ought to obey God rather than men.{acts5v29}. Sometimes the voice of man may give wise advice, but anytime the voice of man CONFLICTS with the voice of God, you must obey God. b. The voice of satan : The voice of satan was first heard by man when he spoke to Eve in the Garden of Eden(Gen3:1,4-5). Satan's voice lies, decieve's and always attempts to lead man into sin and away from God. Evil spirits also have a voice. Acts8v7. c. The voice of SELF: the voice of self is man talking to himself. Warning of such=Luke16:3 & Jonah4:8. THE VOICE OF GOD. Believers are compared to sheep. It is the characteristic of sheep not to know where they are going. They must be led, Jesus says He is the shepherd or leader of the sheep. He says My sheep know my voice and follow me(JESUS) instead of the voices of man, self or satan. John10:3-5 ......He goeth before His sheep, and the sheep follow Him; for they know His voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from Him(stranger); for they know not the voice of strangers. Knowing God's voice result in finding the will of God.

The Glory of God in History
men whom the Lord honoured with great glory...... Enoch pleased the Lord and was taken up into heaven. He became an inspiration for repentance for all time to come. Noah was a perfectly righteous man. After destruction came, he gave the human race a new start. Abraham was/is the great ancestor of many nations; his reputation was faultless. When he was put to test, he was found faithful, for he kept the Law of the Most High and a covenant with, a covenant marked on his body(Isaac) from the Euphrate to the ends of the earth. Isaac & Jacobs were covenant renewers. Moses, whose very memory is a blessing. The Lord chose Moses out of all humanity and consecrated him because of his loyalty & humility. Phinehas son of Eleazar. Phinehas brought about forgiveness for Israel's sin by standing firm in brave determination when everyone else was in revolt. Joshua, Caleb, The Judges... Samuel was loved by the Lord, As the Lord's prophet he established the kingdom and appointed ruler's for the people. People trusted him as a seer because of his words. David a king, priest and prophet, and a father to Solomon. Elijah your miracles were marvellous and a whirlwind confirmed that he never died and now we are living with him... The Glory Of God revealed in History, His-story.

Wisdom
Wisdom protected the father<Adam>of the world, the first man that was ever formed, when he alone had been created. She saved him from his own sinful act and him strengthen to master everything on earth. But there was unrighteous man<Cain>who abandoned Wisdom; he destroyed himself by killing his brother in a fit of anger. Because of that sin, the earth was flooded, but wisdom saved it again. She guided a righteous man in his flimsy wooden boat. Once when the nations were frustrated in their wicked plans, Wisdom recognized a righteous man<Abraham> and kept him innocent in God's sight. She gave him strength to obey God's command in spite of his love for his son. And there was once a righteous man<Joseph> who was sold in slavery, but wisdom did not abandon him. She kept him safe from SIN. She went to prison with him and never left him until she had given him power over an empire and made him ruler of people who once oppressed him. She let it be known that a false accusation had been made again Joseph, and she gave him eternal honour.
When I come home to wisdom, I find contentment because there is no conflict or pain in living with wisdom, only happiness and joy.
Wisdom guides the constellations, and the cycles of years.
