Hire
minds and not bodies. Minds refer to people with strong mental capabilities
albeit mental prowess. These are people of great insight and understanding with
huge reserves of knowledge and wisdom. They are usually able to process ideas through
to profit, analyze issues through and proffer lasting solutions.
Such
people usually resolve personal, family, community, organizational and national
challenges. In some families, communities, organizations and nations, they are
referred to as the tink tank of such families, organizations, communities and
nations. Families, communities, organizations and nations blessed with such rare
gifts to humanity enjoy the divine benefits of such gifts to them.
Significantly,
minds are people blessed by God with unusual doses of mental alertness and
capabilities. It is divine endowment for divine purposes. King Solomon of Israel
was one of such persons. His mental prowess brought economic prosperity to the
nation of Israel. Please see 1st Kings Chapter 4 verses 20 to 34.
So
also was King David. The supposedly least among his brethren, shepherding the family’s
flock, the divine unction for kingship rested on David and with this unction,
David a young man who had never been in the army brought down a seasoned
soldier and giant, Goliath to become a national hero in Israel. Thereafter,
David as King in Israel subdued not only the Philistines but all the enemies of
Israel. David succeeded in his military conquests not by might but by the
Spirit of God Who always guided him and
gave him divine instructions to quell the attacks of the enemy and bring the
enemy to subjection.
