During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.
Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful. They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.
We too, need to change and catch up with the time otherwise we will be removed from the competition.
On Nokia's failure, Ziyad Jawabra (Freelance Management Trainer, International and Relocation Consultant) has this to say:-
"Those who refuse to learn and improve will definitely one day become redundant and not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard and expensive way."
The advantage that you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it right, you can lose it and fail. The world is rapidly changing every day and no one is going to wait for you. Digital camera replaces negative film. With 4G Smart phones, we can access information readily without having to log-on to our home computer. WhatsApp, with its free messaging has replaced the normal texting.
So if you don't change, you will be left behind.
The Legendary Evangelist , apostle of faith, Smith Wigglesworth (1859 - 1947) experienced a prophetic vision where he saw two great revivals sweep across the world. The first, known as the "Word Movement" occurred during the 1970s and the second, "Spiritual Revival", came later, in the 1990s.
However, in this vision, he saw something much bigger and more powerful that was to happen following these two revivals. This is when the Word and the Spirit (or anointing) were 'married.' Unfortunately, he died before he saw any of the revivals.
God is doing many things in the last days. Prophetic pioneer, Dr Bill Hamon wrote in his book, "Personally, I never want to be found resisting or fighting any new thing that God is doing within His church."
We all need to be transformed by the renewing our mind (Romans 12:2), and to let God have His Way as He is always doing new things (Isaiah 43:19).
We need to let God have His way in His house to feed us with fresh manna or new wine (anointing). Otherwise, we will be left behind and miss what God has for each one of us to play a more effective role in this massive harvest of the Great Commission.
