Sometimes you wonder why some speakers who charge so
much for their events get even more audience than those whose events are free. Like
we all say, time is life, but like I do say, time is life, as such, no one is
ready to waste his/her time listening to just anyone or anything. It then means
that for anyone to really get people’s attention, it not a joke – it is serious
business. Asides knowing God and gaining more experience, I’d like to share
some other things you can do such that when you say hello, multitudes respond.
Third thing is the relevance of your experience.
Fela Durotoye once said, “It is not what you can say that matters, it is what
people can do with what you say that matters.” People followed Jesus everywhere
because He had the solution to their problems. Years back, forex teachers had
their events packed full because forex was trending, everyone wanted to make
extra income from it. Don’t just gather experience, gather the right
experience. An experienced Nokia 3310 repairer would sure lack customers in
this our time.
When Joseph was to be brought out from the prison to
go display his expertise before Pharaoh, Bible records it in Gen 41:14 (MSG)
that Joseph cut his hair, put on clean clothes, and then appeared before
Pharaoh. Sir, that goes to tell you that you cannot dress like a suspect and
expect to be treated like a prospect. You cannot command the audience of kings
dressing like a slave. Before people hear you talk, they would have seen how
you are dressed. Wear clean and smart clothes, iron them properly, take care of
your hair, polish your shoes well and wear your colognes moderately. As a
believer, you mustn’t dress shabbily because you are Christ’s representative here
on earth.
Gather the right experience, package the experience by
dressing well such that when you enter any office, with God on your side, you
will be royally treated.
Remain lifted!
