Too Blessed to Be Cursed
Author: Agwanihu Obinna Fabian
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465354174
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
To excel in life you have to function and operate from the position of power, authority and dominion. God created man with power and called man to dominate but in the lives of many Christians the reverse seems to be the case, this is because they are living out of the position that God has destined for them. Most Christians live their lives from the opposite direction, trying to live from the earth to the heavenlies. The right position should be to live from the heavenlies to the earth. When you operate from the angle of power and fully realize who you are then you will truly know that you are too blessed to be cursed. You are made in the image of God and you are here to reign on earth. When you operate kingdom secret, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness and every other thing will be added unto you then you will realize that you are too gifted and too talented to fail that is the secret. When you live in contrast to the above secret you discover that you will be pursuing the things that are supposed to come to you naturally. Jesus came into the world to redeem you and me and take us back to our positions. Christianity is about getting back to the place where you were before the fall of man. The bible said that for the joy that was set before Him He endured the cross. He left his position in heaven came to earth, died for us and redeemed us to restore us to our position. That is why Apostle Paul said we were crucified with Him, buried with Him and when He rose from the dead we rose with Him and where He is there we are. The bible said we are sitteth in heavenly places with Christ Jesus far above every principality and power. Far above every curse, far above every failure, far above every limitation, far above every sickness, far above every disappointment etc your position is with Jesus. Bible said we are complete in Him who is the head of all principalities and powers. I want you to know that if you are out of position the power will not move in your condition but if you are in position the power will move in your condition, so if you are favored in your position then you are favored in your condition. I pray that this book will help you in your quest to get back to your position. Like I said it is you that is called to dominion and not the devil to dominate you.

Pages : 402
Book Description
Ann Hulbert’s in-depth exploration of the lives of sixteen extraordinary children over the course of the past century casts new light on America’s current obsession with early achievement. The figures she profiles include math genius Norbert Wiener, founder of cybernetics; two girls whose fiction and poetry stirred debate in the 1920s; the movie superstar Shirley Temple; the African-American pianist and composer Philippa Schuyler; the chess champion Bobby Fischer; computer pioneers and “prodigious savants” with autism; and musical prodigies, present and past. Hulbert probes the changing roles of parents and teachers as well as of psychologists and a curious press. Above all, she delves into the feelings of the prodigies themselves, whose stories so intriguingly raise hopes about untapped human potential and questions about how best to nurture it.

Factfulness
Author: Hans Rosling
Publisher: Flatiron Books
ISBN: 125012381X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates "Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. --- “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.

The Privileged Poor
Author: Anthony Abraham Jack
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674239660
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
An NPR Favorite Book of the Year “Breaks new ground on social and educational questions of great import.” —Washington Post “An essential work, humane and candid, that challenges and expands our understanding of the lives of contemporary college students.” —Paul Tough, author of Helping Children Succeed “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.
