God authored and used several cabals in the Holy Scriptures and in every generation. He made Samuel the one-man kingmaker council to install Saul son of Kish king of their nation and also to later indicate David was Saul’s successor. He made Jeremiah the determinant of the destiny of nations in his lifetime through prophecies. Jesus operated with a three-man cabal made up of Peter, John and James. The trio had been professional and career partners before they became Jesus’ disciples just as John and James were siblings. Esther and Mordecai were cousins and they held sway as the cabal that controlled the reign of King Ahasuerus of the Persian Empire. Pharaoh made Joseph one-man cabal to run his empire on his behalf just as Darius made Daniel to run his Babylonian Empire on his behalf. Pharaoh and Darius appointed Joseph and Daniel respectively on merit. Daniel’s colleagues resented his emergence to their own ruinous regret. God made Moses, Aaron and Miriam who were siblings controlling cabal over their kinsmen during the last forty years that they lived. God made Moses’ and Samuel’s words to be law to the people. It is the privileges that go with the position of cabal that provokes human envy and jealousy and the attendant disgust. The fact that it is perverted by some is not enough reason to abhor it as if it is ungodly. It is prevalent in any setting no matter the size of the constituent. It is inevitable and as such, commendable and exemplary cabals should be identified and utilized appropriately. It should be encouraged with the excesses of council members curtailed appropriately.

The term Brain Drain or Best Brains Drain/carting away is only a derogatory reference to God intended concept of maximizing the spectacularly skilled persons He sent to live and add great value to mankind in each generation. It is peddled by persons who have failed in their responsibility to manage such special God-sent individuals to benefi t themselves and their territory optimally. When some fail examinations, rather than take responsibility for their poor performance and double their efforts to turn their failure in their success, they would choose to fi nd fault with the examiners, script markers and graders. The two major ways to stop acclaimed oppression is either to make the oppressor stop any how or resist the oppressor into stopping. When Laban would not stop cheating Jacob, commonsense made Jacob opt to withdraw his services from Labans employment without notice. He did not continue to shout blue murder without doing something tangible from his own end. In fact, Jacob did not waste his time seeking mediation by the elders or leaders and rulers of Labans nation of Haran also known as Padan-Aram. Some call it taking charge of how others treat you. Prolonged accusation of being oppressed is a sign of weakness or laziness, foolishness, planlessness, and even outright stupidity. After prolonged mourning over being mocked for childlessness, Hannah made concerted effort to put an end and God blessed her effort to the regret of her mocker and maligner. Enjoy a happy reading.

God established ruling over others (the concept of superiority and subordination) in all forms. However, the use of the superiority privilege matter to God and the subordinates/subjects. The master and lord could use kindness to constrain the servant to resolve to remain his slave as long as they both live. The servant does not have to enjoy the right of a child to achieve this feat. It is a feat because consideration, concern, compassion, care and kindness are scarcer than ever before. Masters, lords and rulers have force or friendliness, threat or tender treatment, pressure or persuasion with which to possibly secure the submission and loyalty of their subordinates, servants, slaves or subjects.

Rebellion is abhorred by rulers and Christians and perhaps, everyone, despite the fact that they are all engaged in it, under different guises. Rebellion is an inevitable route God meant for man to arrive the palace of relevance, recognition and respect. Individual mannerisms might differ but all recognized and relevant individuals who have ever lived are rebels or are engaged in rebellion in one form or the other at different times of their lives. Perhaps, no rebellion, no relevance as rebellion has resounding reward. Joseph became relevant because he did not follow in the traditional heritage of shepherd that the Hebrews were famous for in his generation. Jesus became relevant because He made a marked departure from the traditional Jewish religion as it was known at the time. Find out how you can benefit from God-authored and sponsored rebellion to become and remain relevant in your lifetime. There is something seemingly rebellious God planned that you should do to become relevant inevitably in this life and in the life to come.

Daddy and Mummy are the first teachers, mentors, and examples available for children to take after. As a result, children are naturally tempted to become addicted to whatever they see their parents do in their childhood and formative years. However, because all humans have their inevitable and inalienable weaknesses, it is punitive for children to imbibe the curious characters and conduct of parents because it would affect the children and, in turn, their own children, as well as the society in general. It is profitable to identify and adopt the commendable character and conduct of parents, as well as abhor and avoid the curious character and conduct of parents.

The belief that every physical experience has a spiritual undertone reveals that everything is stage-managed in life. Long before Josiah was born, God sent a young prophet from Judah to make it know to King Jeroboam of Israel. And indeed, Josiah lived nearly 257 years later to accomplish the purpose of God. This means that God stage-managed to ensure that Josiah lived to accomplish His assigned purpose. Queen Esther stage-managed her husband, the Emperor, to get rid of Haman the Amalekite, the preserved the lives of her fellow Jews as well as made Mordecai the Prime Minister of the Persian Empire at the expense of Haman. Naomi and Ruth stage-managed Boaz to marry Ruth so that Boaz would continually provide for them. God stage-managed to ensure the Israelites left the Egyptian captivity with enormous wealth. Check out the desirability or otherwise of stage-management of events of life.

Between Honorables and Hooligans reveals the synergy between certified respectable citizens and the supposed nonrespectable citizens of societies. Also, the seed of hooliganism in all honorables is not left out, as well as the original purpose of God for sowing the seed of hooliganism in every being. The usefulness of hooligans to the society and their otherwise painful presence is equally noted as well.
