Seven Principles and Habits for Kingdom Living: A guide for your past, present, and future spiritual life.
What if Kingdom Living gained popularity? I’m not talking about a fleeting trend but rather a transformation that resonates with people worldwide. Individuals would prioritize living with purpose and integrity, striving to reflect in every aspect of their lives the examples set by Christ Jesus. Communities would become beacons of unity and cooperation, with neighbors supporting one another and pooling resources to meet shared needs.
I want to maximize my free will to experience Kingdom Living every day. My goal is to minimize mistakes and poor choices while enhancing the quality of my living experiences with family, friends, and community. The seven Kingdom principles and habits that guide my spiritual life include:
- Principle One: Love God, Yourself, and Your Neighbor.
- Principle Two: Be Holy.
- Principle Three: Store up treasures in heaven for yourself.
- Principle Four: Give generously with your heart.
- Principle Five: Live by the Spirit of God.
- Principle Six: Live debt-free.
- Principle Seven: Leave an inheritance for your children’s children.
“I invite you to journey through this book with an open heart and mind, ready to be transformed. Let the principles contained herein be not only read but also lived. As Dr. Dave beautifully puts it, these teachings are not just for knowing but for doing.
Prepare to be challenged, inspired, and changed.” -- Demetrius Miles, Lead Pastor; The Gathering at Tucson
“If you’ve drifted away from God, the seven principles outlined in this book will help you find your way back. When I was asked to read and write the foreword for this book, I encountered a series of distractions that tried to keep me from reading it. Now I understand why this book is truly life-changing.” -- Minister Sheree Carradine
“Dr. Dave's seven principles and habits are simple, which is what Jesus Christ stands for—simplicity, sacrifice, and salvation. This book is practical! Dr. Dave describes the WHAT of each principle and HOW it can be applied in daily life in the home and the marketplace. This helps close most Christians' gap between their ‘spiritual life’ and ‘marketplace life,’ when there should not be any difference.” -- Temitope Bolaji-Jegede
Generative Leadership To Thrive
The book Generative Leadership to Thrive unfolds as a journey, guiding leaders through a pathway that does not merely seek to navigate through the industrial revolutions and the VUCA environment but also to thrive amidst them. With a harmonious blend of theoretical frameworks, practical strategies, real-world insights, and a human-centered approach, the book establishes a compelling narrative that Generative Leadership, imbued with Ubuntu principles and values and Generative Adaptive Practice (GAP) tenets, is pivotal in crafting a future where organizations, their people, and their customers, do not just survive but markedly thrive.
Generative leadership is a style of leadership that focuses on creating the conditions for people and teams to thrive. It is about building trust, fostering creativity, and empowering people to take ownership of their work. Generative leaders are also able to adapt to change and learn from failure.
Generative leadership is essential for success in the Fourth and Next Industrial Revolutions. Organizations need to innovate quickly and respond to change effectively in this new era. Generative leaders can create the conditions for this by building a culture of learning, collaboration, and trust.
