Helping others

"Helping others should be natural for every person living in a cultured society" Prof. Emmanuel Kolawole #ProfEmmanuelKolawole @BiblicalUniversity @BiblicalUniversityHome

One of the easiest ways to help others is to simply share your knowledge. 

Every day there is an opportunity to educate someone about your area of expertise.

The number one rule of helping people should be to find out what’s actually valuable to someone. Some people may be a waste of your precious time if you don't keep the rule in mind. You may spend time and effort helping them with something that they don't even want help with. Make an effort to ask them where they need help, try your best and move on

Helping others isn’t always easy. It can sometimes derail your schedule and cost you time, money and other resources. It can even be interpreted the wrong way. However, keep in mind they truly matter to you.

Note: Helping others succeed can be your greatest success.

PS: There are a variety of ways to help others. You can also recognize someone. An easy way to recognize someone is to nominate them for an award at Biblical University. It will mean a lot to the nominee that you thought of them and wanted to recognize them. Honors and Awards at Biblical University include, Honorary PhD degree, Honorary MA degree, Men in Leadership Award and Women in Leadership Award.

Embracing a new efficient system of learning.

Over the years, in-person learning has greatly dominated the education sector, with online learning being relegated to the periphery. Online learning has been wrongly perceived by some people as inferior compared to in-person learning. To them, it plays second fiddle, and they hold the view that the quality of online classes is low, but nothing can be further from the truth.

Most leading universities in Europe and America embraced online learning several years ago for what it is worth. Closer home, for example, degree courses are offered fully online at Biblical University such as Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and PhD, and our graduates have become reputable and influential leaders in both public and private sectors.

The quality of online learning is equally good (if not better) when well executed. To demonstrate this further, take a look at what happened when the Covid-19 pandemic struck the world. University students in Nigeria were faced with an unfamiliar choice of either joining online classes or halting their studies all-together until the situation normalizes. Just like their peers at Biblical University, who chose the online classes and went on to finish their studies and even graduated when the University held its graduation ceremony in the midst of Covid-19.

Online learning has democratized education in the sense that students can have access to university education regardless of their geographical locations. In a way, the whole world becomes the catchment for potential students. 

Biblical University has a significant number of international students drawn from countries such as Brazil, UK, South Africa, Pakistan, Kenya, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Cameron, Uganda and many more, thanks to a versatile Learning Management System that has made online learning at Biblical University cheaper, more flexible, and super convenient for students. “The rigours of online learning truly sharpen our students’ capability for the independent pursuit of knowledge and understanding”

How to Start a Bible College with Biblical University

Creating a Bible College in your local church has many advantages. You can attract new people to your church, train church leaders, and educate your members. If you are a pastor considering how to start a Bible College in your own church, Biblical University may be able to help.

You can…

> Attract new people to your church

> Train church leaders

> Educate your members

> Refresh your own Bible education

Starting your own Bible college by yourself, isn’t easy. There are many barriers, pastors run into when they try to create their own Bible institute in their local church, including:

* Creating a new curriculum.

* Finding enough staff to maintain the school.

* Getting affiliation and accreditation.

If you are a pastor considering how to start a Bible College in your own church, Biblical University may be able to help. By becoming an affiliate partner, you can start your own Bible college in your local church.

How To Start A Bible College With BU?

Starting a Bible school with BU begins with determining the level of interest in your local church. To be an affiliate of BU you will need at least 5 interested students. Submit "Application and Institutional Profile" to be eligible for affiliation with Biblical University.

Your will utilize our online programme giving you access to our curricular materials, including library. You simply provide a facilitator for the course to foster discussion and give additional assistance to the students.

How do we become an affiliate?

If you are ready to start your Bible college as an affiliate of BU, we will consider your application for affiliation and respond to you within a few days. We will arrange a site visit to assess the suitability of your facilities and discuss the college in detail with you and your ministry team and prospective students. Maintaining the integrity of the school is important to both BU and the affiliate. You are allowed to give any name to your school and simply adding that you are an affiliate of Biblical University. As soon as you are comfortable with these arrangements, you will need to submit the AGREEMENT OF MUTUAL ACADEMIC CO-OPERATION with the appropriate fees. 

Keep Your Leaders At Your Church

Another benefit of becoming an affiliate of BU is that the students, after graduation from your school could still continue their studies with BU.

Real Degrees

Typically, the affiliates (starters) run a 2 year programme and at the end of the 2 years, your students will receive a Diploma. Students who have credits to transfer may be eligible for a Bachelor's degree. Also, all students are able to continue with Biblical University, if they wish, to get a Bachelor's, Master's, or even Doctorate degree.

BE GREAT. SERVE.

WANT TO BE GREAT? SERVE OTHERS.

“Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.” – Mark 10:43b-44

What does it mean to be great? The world most often defines greatness through one’s accomplishments. Think back to ancient history when Alexander the Great conquered the known world by the time he was 33 years old, only to weep because there was nothing left to conquer. Later, Thomas Edison would have over a thousand patents to his name. Or, what about Einstein and his amazing discoveries in quantum physics?

Still others might argue that real greatness is all about power. In Jesus’ time, Caesar Augustus was considered truly great because of all the power he held. In the modern world, you might look at the Oval Office where Presidents of the United States sit as a place of true power and influence. But is power what really defines greatness?

In reality, anyone can become great. Perhaps not according to the world’s definition – or even according to your own definition. Jesus tells us how: “…whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.” Jesus – the greatest man to ever exist said that He didn’t come to be served; He came to serve. This heart of service eventually led Him to trade His life for our salvation.

The greatest man (Jesus), was also the greatest servant. And that is what He calls us to do. No personal accomplishment, patent or scientific discovery, worldly power, and not even a President – nothing in this earthly world can be considered truly great in the eternal. Follow the footsteps of Jesus. Serve your fellow man. That’s the only lasting road to true greatness.

Be Inspired

When Omotunde "Adaku" Adebowale — a graduate of Law from Lagos State University, left Law School, she wanted a career in the media industry. She approached many media outfits, including Channels TV and even Galaxy TV, but she was rejected.

In fact, Channels TV rejected her because she could not pronounce "Arthur" — the name of the man who interviewed her.

Galaxy TV rejected her because she was "fat" and had "an ugly face" for TV.

Her parents wanted her to be a lawyer and were disappointed with her new choice of career that might fetch just a meagre income for her. But she never gave up on her dreams and started practicing pronunciation of words and names.

She practiced law for three years but on realising her ambition, she enrolled at the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria Training School in Lagos, performed well, and was immediately given a Contract Employment with Radio Nigeria where she stayed for nearly two years before moving on to WAZOBIA FM.

When asked in an interview by 'Nonye Ben-Nwankwo of “The Citizen” which was published on March 1, 2014, how she got on radio, she said:

"I am not on radio because I couldn’t find another job. It is just passion-based. I enjoy entertaining people. 

I wanted to do what I was passionate about and not just about what I read in school. I was once with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria. When I heard about Wazobia, it became a challenge for me. I wasn’t even sure I could do it but I went for the audition.

It was a tough one (the audition) because a lot of people came for it. By the time I was auditioned, it was almost over.

I was invited four months later. That was how I started. It wasn’t easy at first because I had to go through the teething problems.

Some listeners criticised me. But every criticism I got made me stronger.

The more you do something, the better you get at that thing.''

Adebowale hails from Ijebu-Igbo in Ogun State but she's always mistaken for an Igbo lady due to her roles in movies, especially the "Adaku" she portrayed in Funke Akindele's “Jenifa's Diary” which she played perfectly that got many viewers arguing whether she's Yoruba or Igbo.

When she hit stardom, Galaxy TV who had rejected her beforehand because she was "fat and ugly" tried to recruit her but she replied to the management that they couldn't afford her pay.

Omotunde Adebowale is now a Nigerian Multi award-winning Radio and TV Host, Comedienne, Compere, Dramatist, and Actress. She was an On-Air personality and a Newsreader for CoolFM and WazobiaFM (known as Lolo1 of Wazobia) until July 10, 2019, when she left the station.

So, be good at what you do. Be consistent. Be successful and they will chase after you.

PS:

Passion is a strong desire that can get you to do amazing things in life. But passion without a corresponding action yields no worthwhile results.

Find your passion. Don't give up!

GOOD THINKING IS POSSIBLE

GOOD THINKING IS POSSIBLE.

James Allen, in his book As a Man Thinketh says, All that a man achieves or fails to achieve, is the direct result of his thoughts. 

Do you believe that? If you do, you will place a high value on good thinking. It will become a priority in your life. Success doesn't come by accident. You don't stumble into it then figure it out afterwards.

Whether you are a business person, doctor, a minister, pharmacist, engineer, a teacher, a parent, or whatever, your level of success will increase dramatically if you place a high value on good thinking. The better your thinking, the better your prospects in life. 

Playwright Victor Hugo said, A small man is made up of small thoughts. People who don't develop and practice good thinking usually find themselves at mercy of circumstances or other peoples thoughts. They are unable to solve problems. They find themselves facing the same obstacles over and over. And because they don't think ahead they're habitually in reaction mode.

Old German proverb says, Better an empty purse than head. Good thinkers overcome difficulties, including lack of resources. And generally, poor thinkers are at the mercy of good thinkers.

Capital isn't so important. Experiences isn't either. You can get both these things. Whats important is ideas. If you have ideas you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to what you can do with your life. Solomon writes, “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he (Proverb 23:7). And the good news is its not too late for you to become a good thinker. Start today to think, to unlock your potentials, it is possible.
