"There is a buzz today about the easy and wide road. Most people actually are going down that road, which is the direct opposite of what was said by Christ Jesus, the greatest leader and entrepreneur ever to walk the earth recommended. What therefore awaits us? - Coach TIL
Christ Jesus spoke about His standards and even said quite often that to live with His standards at any point in life will be a major challenge. Today like never before, those standards are being trampled upon, one of them being the narrow gate philosophy (being different).
Most people prefer the wide and easier road/gate because it is more accommodating of course. So many people for example get into betting (“parifoot”/betking) because it is a faster and easier road to money. The question now is whether these things have truly sustainable results.
This might be hard stuff, but only truth sets free...
One of the things which is fundamental in this issue is TRUTH, one of those things people will do everything to avoid. Many people will prefer to stay quiet than to confront the truth. When you think that the truth is the only thing that will set us free, you can see why we have this topic.
It is rather common, easier and encouraged to do your best to make man happy today than it is to make God (Christ Jesus) happy. Many for example will not see why as a young expert in productivity and business leadership, I should be writing this kind of article.
Please pay very close attention...
Some might even get annoyed or at the very least uncomfortable or embarrassed if I show how many of these comments that Christ Jesus made were career or business oriented comments. That is why He said that we must have a renewal of our minds (Rom. 12:1,2) or probably perish.
Many people don’t see truth and credibility (integrity) as very close friends. And guess what, it is credibility that would get clients to trust you, buy from you, buy again and again, and recommend you to others because they know their credibility is intact in your hands because you are reliable.
Many prefer to side-line Christ Jesus because it makes other people uncomfortable while the other people are allowed to talk about their own spiritual foundations. Somehow and some way, it is easier to respect the desires of man that to fear the person who has the power to take away life.
This is technical stuff, follow closely...
Some even prefer to talk about him as their source only in special circles and in private as a form of respect to others. This is not seen as denying him and that is why I worry because that is what the majority has accepted and established as status quo.
That is the reason I write this article because I am asking myself what will happen now that majority of the people think that being ashamed of God and Christ Jesus is the easier and better way. Just to indicate that the days ahead are going to be worse, the reason I ask whether many will enter heaven.
I know that there is a strong desire to belong which can be associated with this issue but what about our long-term destination? Is it better to have short-term pleasure and acceptance now at the expense of our future reward? Is there any Maker (God) who would reward a disobedient product (human)?
Follow who know road ohhhh...
I am not God of course but I definitely am one of his messengers, which is why I am talking about this situation. It is virtually the status quo now and those who should be aware of this are sleeping or confining themselves within certain circles still as a way of denying Him since it is not comfortable to go out and speak this language especially in certain spaces.
Whether you are a professional, corporate executive, founder, president, business owner, entrepreneur in whatever sector, one thing I am certain is that your productivity and leadership in your career and business is a key element in your life and should be addressed.
That is why as someone who specializes in productivity and business leadership, I am bringing this up to call your attention to the fact that ignoring God (Christ Jesus) is ignoring principles that have worked before and are still working today, principles like truth (credibility) explained above.
Hear this now dear professional and/or entrepreneur...

Another example I could use is the principle of fruits (results) which is supposed to prove who we truly are. While many are not able to see how powerful this is in corporate and business life, I am sure you can recognize the place of results (fruits) in your life as a professional or businessperson in terms of returns either in the form of promotions, bonuses, more sales or more market share.
Results (Fruits) determine everything and seeing that Christ mentioned this such a long time ago and it still applies today shows you why He is a reliable belief system because it works. It is therefore such a surprise when majority are ashamed of something which is blatantly so good.
Many people don’t have the discipline today to suppress their desire to belong and to stand for Christ and His principles like truth, fruits, the golden rule, unconditional love and others which have been proven to work for centuries. I guess building this discipline is our responsibility if we intend to be among those who would get into heaven to collect the reward.
I am not here to say how many people will enter, I am not here to say whether the number will be small or large, I am just raising consciousness for those who intend to sit on the fence. I urge you to do the required work and make your choice to be hot or cold, or be spat out.
Bottom-line therefore is...
The status quo is not a reliable yardstick (KPI) to use.
Don’t be ashamed of a belief system that has proven its worth for centuries.
Beat the desire to belong and decide to either be hot or cold, lukewarm doesn’t make sense.
Have the discipline to make Christ central in everything you do including your career and business.

Magnanimously Yours!
