Upcoming Chaplains

Upcoming Chaplains

In developing practicing professional chaplains, we are committed to growing and developing career chaplains helping the upcoming chaplains, who will take the responsibility and charge in attending to the problems and issues in the societies of our world.

Present day chaplains’ trainers must learn to take responsibilities for growing and developing upcoming chaplains to take responsibility for our future.

Present day chaplains owe humanity an obligation to developing upcoming chaplains adequately to enable them take responsibilities for the people in the time ahead. 

This is the more reason why we are calling on the present day chaplains and chaplains’ trainers to invest in:-

1.     Their own personal developments.

2.     Their own educational developments.

3.     Their own professional developments for self-actualization.

Only informed present day chaplains can engage in profitable development of upcoming chaplains. 

Just as leaders of tomorrow are not born nor can be mass produced in a production system but are grown developed individually with the right nurturing and equipping from today’s leaders; so also must the upcoming chaplains be made and grown individually by the present day chaplains.

Chaplaincy practice and service delivery is at the threshold of development in Nigeria, and only professional chaplains can assist in its development. Waiting for America, Britain and other developed nations’ professionals for the needed development of chaplaincy, chaplaincy practice and service delivery in Nigeria will only amount to unprecedented futility.

Present day practicing professional chaplains, arise and take responsibilities for the professional development of chaplaincy practice and chaplains in Nigeria. 

Avail yourself of the opportunity granted you to invest in your own developments now to enable you help develop others for the future. Posterity is waiting for you all. Thanks.

Flowing into Others

Flowing into Others

In natural situations, rivers flow into other rivers until finally they get to the oceans where there is a final discharge and end of the flow. However, it has been discovered that only rivers with water in them flow into others.

Occasionally too, when there seems to be too much water in the oceans, there is or may be a back flow which is always disastrous and chaotic leaving the land submerged in water.

Professionally too, people of every profession flow into others. It has also been discovered that only professionals of repute, who have the needed substances in them by training and skills acquisition can bless others, benefit them as they impact them as they flow into them.

When casual, amateur, para and quacks seeks to flow into others and people of our world; the result will be chaotic and disastrous.

Equip yourself rightly and be prepared to flow into others to be a blessing to them.

Who is Qualified to be called an Expert

What Makes You and I Qualified to be Called Experts or Specialists in our Fields of Endeavour

1.     One’s devotion and commitment to one’s occupation, job, assignment and duty; with great success and accomplishment makes one to be called a specialist.

2.     One’s demonstration of expertise in a branch of learning or discipline, makes one qualified to be called a specialist, for example;

i.        A specialist surgeon is a highly educated and qualified surgeon, who has narrowed down to a specific branch of medicine and surgery and has made a mastery of it.

ii.      A specialist welder is a professional welder, who has the needed expertise in welding engineering and has distinguished himself in this field, e.g. cast welding – special branch of welding.

iii.    A specialist chaplain is a professional chaplain, who has singled him/herself out from others in becoming expert in his/her field of endeavor and specialty.

A highly educated professional chaplain of repute, e.g. chaplaincy educator, a psychotherapist, an arbitrator, conflict resolutor, etc.

Join the group of professionals, have your areas of specialty and diversity to be of a greater benefit to humanity.
