Lessons from Holy Family of Nazareth - ITREALMS
SundaySermon@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
Today we celebrate the most perfect human family that ever existed; the Holy Family of Nazareth. That family is called "holy" because of its closeness to God, who is holiness itself, and it includes Jesus the Son of God, the Word who lived in the family of the Father and the Holy Spirit for all eternity. They are to be model for us and the mirror through which we can look at our own families. Let us reflect on some lessons derived from the life of the Holy Family.
1. A family that does the will of God: "Behold I am the handmaid of God" (LK 1:38). "Joseph woke up and did as the angel told him". Doing God's will saves us and the world. It protected the little Baby Jesus from Herod's evil plan.

LG’s rollable OLED TV debuts in Nigeria - ITREALMS
Sponsored@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
LG Electronics has officially launched the LG Signature OLED R, the world's first rollable television, in Nigeria featuring an unprecedented design.
Each LG Signature OLED rollable TV is custom built to order, meticulously assembled and finished with top quality craftsmanship by LG's most experienced production professionals.

Atedo Peterside: My COVID-19 experience - ITREALMS
Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
There was an outbreak of COVID in my house as last weekend approached and so I told myself that I must do the correct thing. I immediately went into self isolation (because I had been exposed) and started cancelling all physical engagements that I had committed to attend over the course of the next few days.
One of the first casualties was a Future Leaders Network event billed for Saturday morning in Ikoyi where I was supposed to be the Keynote Speaker. I contacted them and offered to deliver my Keynote Address virtually instead. Dr Tony Rapu (Medical Doctor & Pastor) was the intermediary for this engagement. He was the one who pressured me to commit to being the Keynote Speaker at this event that was organised by a bunch of highly responsible young men. Tony even held an emergency conference call between the young leaders, himself and myself to help “pacify” them after I cancelled my physical participation. They decided to postpone their event on account of my physical absence; they felt it was too late in the day to hurriedly arrange for my virtual participation instead.
