Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, Resigning - What We can Learn from His Predicament


"Jobs at Apple - Master Inventor, Master Marketer" from Yahoo News

Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO resigning?  Perhaps, due to ill health having had a previous liver transplant and other illnesses attributed to him?

Well, for whatever reason,  'you can't buy good health with all the money, intelligence or wisdom you've got, can you' as some may say.

But he sure was a genius having led apple and the industry into new products and innovations, plus a great marketing thrust that even placed Apples ahead of top performing Exxon in the global business industry market.

[Read on another on Yahoo News post:  "6 Surprising Facts About Steve Jobs and Apple".]

Perhaps, it's God's way of making us realize, through Steve Job's example, that with all of one's material wealth and power, nobody can overpower or outshine God, as He humbles us when we are weak.

In 1 Corinthians 1:18-19, (full message on these powerful verses are on this link 1 Corinthians:17-31) Saint Paul states, “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.’

Anytime we will all die, and it is before this state that we open up to our senses and to the truth that no material things can outlive the words of God.

It's time to know him more, dude, and open yourself to Him, through Christ, and you will see what true peace and happiness means in this life.

After all our hard work, can we bring anything with us when we die?

I did, I lost my life two times, as I had a mild heart attack in 2002 in the Philippines and had angioplasty with one blocked vein, and later had a mild stroke in 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

Jesus Christ saved me, and learned to know him more and the truth in his words as I have been reading the bible while doing my blog to help spread his light.

  1. In 1 Corinthians 2:15-16, Saint Paul exhorts us that, if we are in Christ and live in Christ, we are admonished to help guide others towards righteousness, as we are given access by God to judge man through his powerful words, "The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment:

    ‘For who has knows the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?”

    ‘But we have the mind of Christ.” That in God's words, and through Christ Jesus, we may be saved.

  2. “I and the father are one”. In John 14: 11-14 Jesus added, “Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me… I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” May the Holy Spirit shine upon Steve that he may be healed by faith, and in God's power, and in Christ Jesus he may see the light through his love, mercy and forgiveness.
    Further, in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, St. Paul says in all humility, devoid of eloquence or superior wisdom, but with love and in truth in the spirit and with the crucified Christ, “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”
