2024 in Review: State of Recruitment Job Advertising   One of the themes of 2024 has been the surge of job applicants for the job adverts employers are posting out.

Experiential sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer through the application of the scriptures to produce fruits that glorify God on the earth which serve as a testament to the world about what the believer claimed to be. Experiential sanctification does not secure your salvation, neither does it make you more holy – only the blood of Jesus does this the very moment you placed your faith in Him - but experiential sanctification validates your holy identity. Let me explain. Suppose you know a man who happened to be an ambassador to a foreign country – a person of significance – but every time you meet with him in private, such a person is vulgar, irritable and behaves irresponsibly, chances are that you will be confused or may even lose the respect you had for him. Why? Because your experience shows you that he is living beneath his position. If you carry a deep consciousness that you are as holy as Jesus is, then you will face life with a consciousness of that reality and such consciousness will produce fruits in your life commensurate with your identity.

Eph 1:4 says "And in love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence".Read that again, please. God chose you before He created the universe. Your selection predates the creation of the world but for what purpose were you thus chosen and ordained? So that YOU WILL BE SEEN AS HOLY IN HIS EYES. How? With an unstained innocence. As far as God is concerned, you possess an unstained innocence as a believer in Christ. God's choice of you is not contingent on your behaviour but rather on the faithfulness of Jesus. If you have placed your faith in Jesus, God declares you holy. To be holy is to be set apart. Come, learn the biblical definition of holiness and how that affects the way you live your life.

Joshua 1:7-8 says: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. This means that make sure that what Grace has purchased for you is what you constantly say out of your mouth. You can constantly say out of your mouth words like “I am holy, I am righteous, I am blameless, I am blessed, I am set apart, I am chosen etc. Make sure the word is spoken out of your mouth. The Bible says the Word must not depart from your mouth. The word “depart” means to remove. God says to you “don't remove my Word and promises out of your mouth”. Wow. He is saying, no matter what happens to you, no matter what you face in life, never stop speaking my promises out of your mouth. Then, God says, meditate on my Word – day and night. The word “meditate” is from the root word that means “to mutter, to imagine, to ponder”. This means that God wants His words to paint pictures in our heart and to be the basis of our imagination and as we do this, he wants us to mutter those words out of our mouth. He is saying when you do this, that is when you can act according to what the Word says. That is how you can become the doer of the word and when you act according to what the Word says, God says you will make your way prosperous. Did you notice that the Bible says that “you will make your way prosperous?” This means it is you who will make your way prosperous as you follow what God has already made available. Why? Because God already declared you a success. In Christ, you already have everything but you must cooperate with God to make this work in your life. To be very clear, what I am saying is that you must respond to God's grace by faith. To act in faith is to do God says you should or should not do even when they don't make any sense at all. God has given you a formular that guaranteed your success but you must cooperate with Him. Here is the formular, I got from these verses: You must: • Pay attention to the Word of God and His promises • Speak the Word of God and His promises out of your mouth consistently. • Allow the Word to paint pictures in your imagination through meditation on the Word. • Do the Word based on what is now your belief system.

When the whole camp was fearful, David went to the brook. The brook represents a place of calmness, a place of meditation and contemplation. A place to shield yourself from the outside noise and commotion. God wants you to leave the arena of fear and step into the calmness of His brook. The best thing to do when faced with Goliath is to go into contemplative meditation. In that state, the answer and the next steps will be revealed to you. Remember that you have God living inside of you and His words to you are: be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10. He is saying to you that it is when you are still and surrender your anxiety that you will be able to experience Him as God. David also took 5 stones. Why 5? Because 5 is the number of grace. Grace is the supernatural power of God to do for you what you cant do by yourself. The stones have the power of grace as enablers. What is the stone really? Jesus is the stone that pulled the head of Goliath down. Acts 4:11 says This Jesus is ‘the stone that you, the builders, have rejected, and now he has become the cornerstone! 1 Pet 2:7 KJ says: Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner The bible says, this Jesus, is the stone and if you believe in Him, He is precious to you. 1 Pet 2:7 TPT says As believers you know his great worth—indeed, his preciousness is imparted to you. But for those who do not believe: The stone that the builders rejected and discarded has now become the cornerstone This verse means that all that Jesus is before the Father has now been transferred into our account. We stand before the Father in the “preciousness” of the Son. You are as precious to God as Jesus Christ is. What is precious to you right now. Think of the way that thing makes you feel. The way you feel about that precious thing/person multiplied by infinity is the way God feels about you. Isaiah 28:16 says: So this is what the Lord GOD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken. If you believe in this Stone, called Jesus, the bible says you will never be shaken. So as David picked the stones, he is reminded that the stone is a metaphor for Jesus but what does Jesus bring with Him? Grace and Truth. John 1:17 says: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. So, as David hurled the stone out in the name of Jehovah Sabaoth, he has to remember that Jesus is with Him and He is that stone that carries the grace and power of God to bring Goliath down and with that consciousness, Goliath has no choice but to be brought down.

One instruction that God gave to Joshua was to be bold & courageous. In this episode, we will explore how David displayed courage in defeating Goliath and using the name of Jehovah Sabaoth. The Lord Sabaoth is the is the Name of God we find used in Scripture when a man or woman is at the end of their rope so to speak -- Jehovah Sabaoth is the Strong Tower which God has made available for those times when we fail & are powerless, when our resources are inadequate, when there is no other help. And it is especially during those times that one comes to appreciate that God is truly the LORD of the Armies & of all hosts. In short, Jehovah Sabaoth speaks of God's available power in our time of trouble. Let your heart be saturated with the His presence with you and His power to work for you.

Joshua 1:2: Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. To arise is different from to go. This word arise is from the Hebrew verb “koom” and it means to standup, to get up, to stir up and it is essentially an instruction to get ready to fulfill a command, somewhat similar to the military command “attention.” Here Joshua received a commission – a call to serve. That vision in your heart that never leaves, that call of God upon your life, that stirring deep in your heart that never let go, is a call for you to arise. To arise means you are getting ready for action. When you arise, there is an imperative of follow-up action.

Innovation For Growth Watch all our business programmes at www.businessconnectionslive.com. Innovation for growth, no matter what size your business is Happen helps businesses and brands grow through innovation. Whether it’s large multi-national corporations, or single-brand family owned – the ways to innovate in busy markets are effectively the same. Spot the frustrations your consumers have, then answer those needs with a product or service that is commercially viable. The challenge is often to pull both levers instead of one. And while smaller organisations wish they had the clout and cash of the big corporations, the big boys wish they were still small and nimble to get things moving swiftly. On this edition of Business Connections Live Costas  Papaikonomou, one of the founding partners of The Happen Group, talks to Steve Hyland, and shares both sides of the equation, and reveals that size doesn’t really matter when it comes to innovating more successfully. On this edition of Business Connections Live, Costas will explain: Innovation is about business relevance, not creativity. Uncover consumer insights you can do something with, not mere market truths. Creating commercially viable products/services, using existing assets Building momentum and confidence to get things moving Learn the business fundamentals on how your business can achieve: Peace of mind: you don’t need to be big to innovate well. You don’t even need a lot of money. The important differences between innovating to Protect, Grow or Transform your business. All have different start- and end-points. You don’t need to fund a digital start-up to succeed. On the contrary, stay away from that nonsense. Think in propositions, rather than products.

International Trade After Brexit What are the starting positions of the UK & EU? What are the major constraints? What will be the sequencing of the negotiation? Will we get a “Free Trade Agreement” with the EU in 2 years (by March 2019)?  What is the likelihood instead of moving to WTO rules – and does it matter? How will the EU: Protect its 4 Freedoms (movement of goods, workers, services & capital)? Stop contagion Ensure that the UK is getting a deal that is materially inferior than EU membership?

Avoid transitional arrangements as indicated in the Government’s latest White Paper? Address the EU demand for (up to €60 bn) funds to cover exit? Reconcile any transitional arrangements with the stated aim of getting out of the jurisdiction of the EU Court of Justice (ECJ)? Address some kind of associate membership (say like Turkey?) Cover UK citizens’ rights in the EU? Ensure we have enough manpower in the food industry, universities and financial services (lots of EU citizens now in the UK)? Prevent a hard border in Ireland which might affect Northern Ireland’s (trading and other) progress? Use ongoing co-operation from UK’s crime, policing and counter-terror capacities to win trading compromises above? Or will we go towards low tax, low regulation (eg Singapore) model?

How To Transform The Customers Experience How To Transform The Customers Experience – The concept and associated values of delivering great customer service are not new. The term customer experience, describing the full life cycle spectrum of a customer’s dealings with a company, is a relatively new one, and draws from a diverse range of disciplines. The received corporate wisdom appears highly supportive of its strategic value. But paradoxically, perhaps because it has been so thoroughly dissected, redefined, serenaded and written about, it’s become financially exhausting and culturally contradictory as a viable strategy. Many businesses are now claiming that Customer Experience is becoming increasingly impotent or a synonym for “it’s too hard, too expensive, too time-consuming, and too difficult to evaluate.” This week Steve Hyland Talks to Gerry Brown aka The Customer Lifeguard, who is on a mission to save the world from bad customer service and will explain How To Transform The Customers Experience. He helps businesses who are leaking revenue to save customers at risk of defecting and breathes life into their customer service operations and customer experience strategy. On this edition of Business Connections Live, Gerry will explain: Why a vibrant & inclusive customer experience strategy is so vital to business success Why four simple principles can be the trigger for understanding the current state of Customer Experience in their business and where changes need to be made How these principles underpin a foundation for the tools and practices that transform an organisation and bring a customer experience strategy to life. The importance of involving colleagues from across the business in all aspects of the customer Experience design, development and delivery How enabling technology, especially in contact centres, is inextricably linked to great CX, but isn’t the natural starting point for transformation……… The importance of deploying cloud-based solutions to provide immediate, updated and visual access to customer history, regardless of channel Learn the business fundamentals on how your business can achieve: Creation of a CX program that can produce measurable, quantifiable results without breaking the bank Principles that can mobilise people to develop the understanding, skills and patience to handle almost any customer service situation. Clarity about the current state of Customer Experience and a blueprint of where the refinements need to be made to achieve CX success Greater and more enthusiastic employee participation that can inform and create a truly innovative approach to CX Understanding that technology alone won’t drive Customer Service and Customer Experience improvements, but when linked to specific strategic initiatives can deliver extraordinary results A clear understanding of solutions that will be easier to use and deliver faster response times without significantly adding to the existing IT infrastructure For more great information visit our Guests website or follow them on Social Media.

How To Improve Your Productivity in 10 Minutes A Day How To Improve Your Productivity in 10 Minutes A Day, Creativity and Focus by Slowing Down for Just 10 Minutes a Day Meditation might seem like a waste of time to a busy person but if you are a business person struggling to make ends meet, a busy mum or a student cramming for exams, taking 10 minutes out every day might seem like a luxury that can’t be easily afforded.

Everyone should be exporting. All businesses have one main objective, which is to sell as much as possible of their products and services. The UK has a finite number of potential customers so the only way to increase sales beyond that finite customer base is to export. Every country has particular demands for certain things but one thing is still very much the case and that is that British suppliers are seen as high quality providers, whether it is a product or service. The UK economy can only grow and prosper if more businesses export so there is a great deal of help available to support exporters. Surrey Chambers is one access point to the help available and as a business support organisation is committed to helping to increase exports Our guest on this edition of Business Connections Live is Louise Punter CEO of Surrey Chambers of Commerce, the most active business representation organisation in Surrey On this edition of Business Connections Live, Louise will explain: How much help is available to exporters What Surrey chambers can do to help  How profitable exporting can be  What are different overseas markets looking for  Some case study examples of exporters Learn the business fundamentals on how your business can achieve:  A clear path on where help is available  Some clarity on which countries they should be looking at  Higher sales  Contribution to their growth strategy For more great information visit our Guests website or follow them on Social Media.

How to be a Confident and Effective Public Speaker in Meetings How to be a Confident and Effective Public Speaker in Meetings. Many people in business have the same challenge – a lack of confidence in some area of their working life – and it’s often linked to public speaking. Sometimes it’s because they have had a bad experience on one occasion which haunts them. They are conscious that they never had any training, or they’ve had bad feedback, they feel awkward or dry up when faced with questions. The results can be significant – some suffer anxiety for days before the presentation, others have sleepless nights, or procrastinate about preparing so it’s done in a rush and badly, staying up all night the night before. Alison Haill is an international executive coach and specialist in leadership communication. Alison uses her 30 years of knowledge, research and international experience to help, alongside her skills as an executive coach. First she works on mindset with practical techniques to build confidence and reduce fear. Then she shares models and techniques for crafting interesting content and finally she works with you on delivery because however confident you are, you will quickly lose the audience’s attention if you lack delivery skills or “presence”. This edition of Business Connections Live will be a valuable insight into how to transform your public speaking and also use the tools to boost confidence in other challenging situations in work and life. On this edition of Business Connections Live, Alison will explain: How to change your mindset from negative thinking to positive How to boost the S-Factor in your thinking How to reduce or eliminate fears How to build engaging content so your audience wants to listen How to make a positive impact before you even start speaking How to speak well Learn the business fundamentals on how your business will benefit: You’ll feel and look more confident You’ll save time in preparation and sleep better You’ll make an impact and influence others You’ll gain respect You’ll know how to manage fears and boost confidence in other situations that may arise You will feel happier You are more likely to be promoted For more great information visit our Guests website or follow them on Social Media.
