I spent the weekend with some of my most favorite people on the planet at the Life Group Leaders Retreat for Overcomers Assembly. One of my mentees and acquired younger sister accused me during the BBQ after that I don’t really share what I do enough and another lady agreed with her. My response to them was “No!, that’s not true”. But on a second thought after reading this scripture this morning, I think their accusations may be somewhat true.

““No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a washtub or shoves it under the bed. No, you set it up on a lampstand so those who enter the room can see their way. We’re not keeping secrets; we’re telling them. We’re not hiding things; we’re bringing everything out into the open. So be careful that you don’t become misers of what you hear. Generosity begets generosity. Stinginess impoverishes.”” –Luke‬ ‭8:16-18‬ ‭MSG‬‬

I didn’t mean to keep what I do as secrets, we just hardly ever get there. So here you go.

In July of 2012, I quit my financial planning job to pursue whatever God had in plans for me and my family. I actually turned down a great secured income (and good benefits) to have the freedom to design my life the way God had it planned originally.

And today, my family and I hop on the plane and go wherever God needs us. Neither being controlled by a company nor the benefits they are willing to give me. My husband and I are vocationally the founders and senior pastors at Overcomers Assembly but we both are bi-vocational pastors or should I say multi 😉 and our 2 boys are grateful for their lives.

I love to disciple believers and also coach them to focus as they embrace God’s plan for them. That’s the theme on my weekly podcast as well.

However, you may not know that I earn an amazing income, coaching those who want to turn their uniqueness and skills into a great income like I did. I work one on one with clients in my 8 weeks VIP program.

In a few days, I will be heading back with my family to Nigeria, where one of our church plants is. I can’t wait to see the amazing people there that we love dearly. I can’t wait to see the wonderful children in our free mission primary school, I can’t wait to see the teachers and everyone in general.

I am extremely grateful to God that He opened my eyes back in 2012 to elevate purpose over income.

After returning to Nigeria in a few days, I have decided to do another quick stop again in Cornwall, Ontario. I will be hosting a clarity retreat on Sept 21st & 22nd at the amazing Nav Center.

This is for you if you feel undervalued at your current position. You may or may not love your job but you are tired of feeling like there is more to your life and tired of not knowing the exact steps to take.

This is for you if you are ready to find fulfilling and meaningful work that aligns with your Christian values. This may be your opportunity to start earning a good living doing what you love.

This is not for you if you are looking for a get rich quick scheme, it’s not for you if you are not ready to take massive steps in discovering who you are and fully embrace God’s plan for you; because my program is going to take you deep into fully understanding which combination of your unique strengths, skills and weaknesses will turn you into a specialist, so that you can start earning as much as you want doing what you love.

I must also add that it took me many long years of hoping and I even tried all sorts of work from home programs while trying to figure out where a decent income would come from to support my family. However, I am glad that now it only takes my clients about 60days to find their first profitable idea; the kind that people are desperately waiting to pay them for.

If you think my support will give you the clarity, boldness, and accountability you need to launch out into your next level of Impact, send me a private message or an email to olu@olusobanjo.com

Again this is not for everyone and I have only 5 spots, so hurry!

And if this isn’t for you now, be generous, pls share it with someone you think will really appreciate this at this moment in their life.

Again the scripture is:

““No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a washtub or shoves it under the bed. No, you set it up on a lampstand so those who enter the room can see their way. We’re not keeping secrets; we’re telling them. We’re not hiding things; we’re bringing everything out into the open. So be careful that you don’t become misers of what you hear. Generosity begets generosity. Stinginess impoverishes.”” –Luke‬ ‭8:16-18‬ ‭MSG‬‬

It may be your turn to become you!

Last year I took a break from weekly podcasting in the month of August till mid-Sept in order to ease out the stress during my family’s transition months back to Nigeria (we stay in Canada about half the year and spend the rest of the year in our mission base in Kuje, Nigeria.

This year due to my book writing process and also in order to fully commit to helping my clients on my VIP Course (for Christians finding their first profitable idea), I have decided to observe another weekly podcast break. I hope to resume to podcasting regularly in about a month or until my manuscript is done.

Despite the break, I will still try to send you some sermon I preach or something else important.

I was recently interviewed by Barb Raveling, and if you haven’t been blessed by the interview, here is it again: https://barbraveling.com/2018/08/01/breaking-free-from-people-pleasing-olu-sobanjo/

Thanks always for your support and feedback always.

My childhood friend, Dr. Sayo Olafiranye celebrated her Fabulous 40 birthday in Pittsburgh, PA this past weekend and it was a beautiful celebration and reunion.

Many of the lovely people I grew up with in Ife Nigeria, were present including some of my acquired parents.

I am grateful for great friends like Sayo, who actually is no longer a friend but a sister. I remember all our many play dates and sleepovers. Now we are all grown, with children almost as big as we are. What can I say? Thank you, Lord! Happy Birthday, Sayo dear. Many more years of God’s grace and mercies. 

 

Everyone thirsts for love, for respect and for meaning in life. Jesus knew this and He calls out to you. He was promising the Holy Spirit to anyone who believes in Him. As a believer, His call for us is to come to Him with the void in our heart and drink. To surrender to His Lordship over your life. When you do; out of your heart shall flow rivers of living water.

John 7:37-39: On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. ³⁸ He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” ³⁹ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.

This is one of the messages from the recently concluded Wordfest Conference in Montreal. Listen and be blessed.

Thanks always for listening and have an amazing week ahead!

 

Is your job beginning to make you feel like life is dull, boring and unsatisfying and you go to bed most nights drained and frustrated? Do you find it easy to press the snooze button; each morning wondering when it will be your turn to do what you were meant to do? Do you sometimes wish you were given the space to fully bring your uniqueness to the world?

Then its time for you to find fulfilling work that aligns with your values and showcases your unique gifts.

Your Time To Thrive is Now!

Imagine what your life would be like if you knew for sure what you are supposed to be doing right now. What if you could finally unlock what God has hidden inside you in order to shine brightly as light: a city set upon the hill that can not be hidden? How would you feel if you suddenly understood what you were designed for and start to take steps toward living a fulfilled life; doing what you love?

My name is Olu Sobanjo, I was a frustrated Christian when I wasn’t sure of what I was meant to be doing. Living to please everyone else without any sense of real fulfillment. Now I am determined to help as many Christians with the same experiences.

One on One Program

You may already know from my weekly podcast that I am working on writing a book this summer and that I want to work with 10 purpose-driven Christians. So if you are ready to find a spark that would motivate you to move to the next level: that level where you step up into God’s calling for you. If you kinda know you are here for a purpose but you sometimes feel stuck, unmotivated and less productive at work and you are

ready to do whatever it takes to find clarity; then, this is for you!

This is your chance to work one on one with me for 8 weeks. I am taking only 10 participants and though the deadline to apply is Monday, July 9th at 9 am or as soon as I have 10 qualified participants who are committed (if this comes first).

I have to be honest with you to tell you that I did not plan to offer this program yet and for some reason I didn’t think I was ready to do something this big just yet but then as I was working with my mentor, she asked me a question: If I have the answer to 'how to find one’s passion and purpose', how many people am I living suffering or worse frustrated and potentially getting a host of physical ailments while I hide out and play small and try to make the program more perfect? And that question really hit home.

Why only 10 participants and why you have to register now?

I can only take a limited number of participants because we will go deep and really do the work to help you uncover your true passion and purpose; this is not easy work and I want to take only those who are fully committed to doing the work. It also requires a great deal for me and I am committed as hard to help you as I am requiring you to do, so you have to register as soon as possible to secure a spot immediately as registration closes Monday at 9 am and as class starts on July 12th. Price for this session is at 80% off what my normal rate will be after this.

To kick-start your process of finding work that aligns with your values and to clarify your vision and purpose click on the link below.  But hurry this 80% discount is only available till 9 am Monday, July 9th, 2018 and I will not offer it this low again.
