Covenant University, Ota Executive Advance August 2015 THE ART OF LEADERSHIP Part 2Towards The Making Of A Great Nation.PresentedBy:Dr. David O. OyedepoChancellor, Covenant University
The greatness of a nation is in the greatness of her people.
How many great people make up a nation is what defines the greatness of that nation.
A great nation is made up of a great people, not a great government • It is a great people that moulds the destiny of great nations.
But greatness is a function of knowledge. • Nothing empowers for greatness as the quality of education available in any nation.
The Jew nation though among the smallest, is one of the greatest nations in the world.
But Everychild of God is a spiritual Jew – Rom. 2:28-29 • Redemption connects us to the blessings of Abraham – Gal 3:13-14
Everyone that is saved is a seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise– Gal 3:26/ Gal. 4:28
We must learn to appropriate our Jewish connection in redemption or we shall be robbed of the blessings in faith – Is 5:1-13
Therefore, whatever pertains to the natural Jew, pertains much more to the spiritual Jew – 2 Cor. 3:7-9
So, if the natural Jews are ‘tops’ today in their various endeavours, how much more shall the spiritual Jews be established in the topmost top? –Rom 15:4
This spiritual insight enhances our results in driving towards the vision One of Ten in Ten by 2020
