“Keep your heart with all diligence; for out it is the issues of life”
This might offend some people but yes it is the truth. No matter what it seems that you are doing, it’s the big truth.
“Who hath saved us, and called with an holy calling not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” – 2 Timothy 1-9
This is because actions are like seeds. Your actions have a way of influencing people.
I’ll be doing a case study of two men who I admire their level of determination and impact. These men are Steve Harris and Praise Fowowe.
- Steve Harris is regarded as Nigeria’s Leading Life Strategist. He believes that his life epitomizes possibilities.
- He is an unashamed Jesus lover. He’s a management consultant, motivational speaker and certified Life coach.
- Steve is a two time college dropout (University of Benin, Madonna University).
- There were series of things that were responsible for his dropping out of college, such as lecturer’s humiliation, and some other things he revealed in his book titled From College Dropout to Corporate Sellout .
- Steve had no clue about what he wanted to do with his life till he was 27 ( some of you are probably close or more than 27).
- Just like most success stories, it was a single decision he made that turned his life around. He began to build his sphere of influence, moved with people that would help him get his direction.
I’ll say it’s all in the mind. As a man thinks in his heart, so he is.
He is the founder of Edgecution, a firm of management consultants and executive coaches.
LESSON
He was a person that didn’t know what to do with his life until 27, but now he is the same person helping people fit into what God had designed them to do.

PRAISE FOWOWE
- Praise Fowowe is an international sexuality education strategist/Advisor, family life coach and crisis manager.
- His story is such a fascinating one. When majority at the age of six would be concerned about playing games, watching cartoons, reading comics, etc.,
- At a tender age, praise was doing what most kids his age had no business doing.
- Praise was first introduced into the world of sex at age four when he was sexually abused by one of his aunts. His father was a pastor.
- Praise, in a long run began to enjoy it. It wasn’t long before he found other children who had the same desires like him.
- Praise gradually got out of control, by age 14; he had become a sex addict.
- At age 16, he gained admission into the university. At this point in his life, he wanted to change. He knew he was in a big mess.
- In the midst of his suffering and uncontrolled sexual life, he heard the gospel of Christ and accepted it.
- Just like most believers on campus, he joined a fellowship, thinking that would help.
- He wanted to share his story with his fellowship members but they appeared to be too spiritual to him. Everyone in the fellowship seems to be perfect.
- He went on with his sex problems till he heard God tell him to share his 'sextimony' (testimony about his sex life).
At the end of his story, he felt lighter and from that day marked a new life for praise.
By the reason of his experience, he understands how people like him feel.
- He is a columnist on “This day” dailies.
- He has written seven books on sexuality and family issues.
- He is the founder of Uncommon Man Network.
- He also hosts talk shows on Radio stations. Go to Praisefowowe.com to know more about him.
LESSON
- There is a similarity between Steve’s story and praise’s; there was a mark between their old life and new life.
- That mark was when they desired change and they took practical steps to effect that change.
- Instruction can save one from destruction. God said “…” and he did it.
- Sex addict turns sexuality education strategist.
- I personally think that his struggles were just a preparation for his assignment.
