SUCCESS KEY #9 - EMBRACE APPRENTICESHIP

Apprenticeship programs offer numerous benefits for both individuals seeking to enter the workforce and businesses looking to train and develop skilled workers. Christianity embraces Apprenticeship in all of its ramifications as exemplified in the Model employed by Elijah and Elisha, Moses and Joshua, Jesus Christ and His Apostles, Paul and Silas, and the list goes on. This is because of the enormous advantages that apprenticeship confers and the quality of workmen that apprenticeship produces. Here are some key advantages of apprenticeships:

1. Practical, hands-on experience: Apprenticeships provide practical training, allowing participants to gain valuable hands-on experience in a specific trade or profession. This practical knowledge complements theoretical learning and helps apprentices develop real-world skills that are highly sought after by employers.

2. Industry-specific training: Apprenticeships offer industry-specific training tailored to the needs of employers. This targeted training ensures that apprentices acquire the precise skills and knowledge required for a particular trade, ensuring they are well-prepared for the demands of the job.

3. Earning while learning: One of the most significant benefits of apprenticeships is that participants can earn a wage while they learn. Apprentices receive a salary or wage that increases as they progress through the program. This financial assistance can help offset the costs of training and education and support apprentices in meeting their daily living expenses.

 

4. Enhanced employability: Apprenticeships provide individuals with a competitive edge in the job market. By combining practical experience with theoretical knowledge, apprentices become highly employable and attractive to potential employers. Completing an apprenticeship demonstrates dedication, commitment, and a willingness to learn, making apprentices stand out among other candidates.

5. Industry connections and networking: During an apprenticeship, individuals have the opportunity to establish connections within their chosen industry. They can network with experienced professionals, supervisors, and mentors who can provide guidance, advice, and potential job opportunities in the future. These connections can be invaluable in securing employment or advancing one's career.

6. Mentoring and guidance: Apprenticeships offer the advantage of mentorship, with experienced professionals guiding and supporting apprentices throughout their training. Mentors provide valuable insights, share their expertise, and offer personalized feedback to help apprentices refine their skills and reach their full potential.

7. Pathway to career advancement: Apprenticeships often serve as a stepping stone to long-term career opportunities. Upon completion, apprentices gain industry-recognized qualifications and certifications, which can open doors to higher-level positions, increased responsibilities, and higher salaries. The skills acquired during an apprenticeship lay a solid foundation for career growth and provide a competitive advantage in the job market.

8. Reduced student debt: Unlike traditional educational pathways, apprenticeships offer an alternative to accumulating significant student debt. Apprentices earn a wage while they learn, reducing the financial burden associated with pursuing higher education. This makes apprenticeships an attractive option for individuals who prefer a more practical and debt-free route to acquiring valuable skills.

Overall, apprenticeships provide a win-win situation for both individuals and businesses. They equip individuals with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to succeed in their chosen field while providing employers with a skilled workforce that meets their specific needs.

SUCCESS KEY #12 - USE HONEST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

 Life is a marketplace where different people market different goods and services to make earnings. There is no human being on earth that does not engage in the sale of one thing or the other, either goods or services to earn the resources with which to live on, so business is as important as life itself, and every one that is alive is involved in one business or the other. It is the mind of God to bless the work of your hands, for everyone that engages himself appropriately. God blesses your work because that blessing will bring glory to God and promote the Kingdom of God here on earth. The devil does not want this, and so he introduces all manner of schemes and craftiness to pollute your blessings and to make God to appear to you as one who cannot do what He said He will do. Psalm 35:27 (KJV) says “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant

SUCCESS KEY #14 - BRING DOWN THAT IDOL

The case against idol worship is a serious matter because the society has been skewed into believing that idol worship is nothing as long as it has been accepted by a people as their system of worship or conscripted into a religious formula. The essence of this article is to ascertain if those that seek after God the Almighty creator of heaven and earth are directly or indirectly involved in idol worship which will make it difficult for such to access the help of the one true God.   1.  Isaiah 51:1-2 says: “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.”   2.  Abraham our father in faith was once a victim of idol worship who at the age of 75yrs old had not much to show for his life despite the great destiny that God created him for.
