Inspiration for daily living

  What is takes and means to finish strong Study Text: Matthew14vs22-33 Introductory Text: Matthew 3vs13-14 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. [14] And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach. Something crucial and striking to me as I write and read the scripture above was that it was the person of Christ that was revealed and magnified in the scripture. The writer kept using He and Him, referring to   Jesus. So it became clear to me that the first lesson to learn in the kingdom as a believer immediately one comes into faith is that Christ is all in all. To finish strong is to recognize that Christ is both the beginning and end of my faith. Hebrews 12vs 2 calls Him the Author and Finisher of   our faith. The introductory scripture says He called those He would to come unto Him. So here I see Him as the Author beckoning on me to come unto Him and I found out that His

Your greatest value as an entrepreneur/leader. Introduction :    Have you ever imagine what will make someone bypass a very similar venture to operate with another?    Well, I got thinking about this recently and I got the answer within me from my spirit.       Imagine this scenario, you just moved into a new environment and you decided to get yourself acquainted with your new environment. So you got strolling one bright afternoon and you saw a restaurant just down the street, then you decided to pop in to have lunch there. You walked in unnoticed while the attendants were chatting. You called their attention to ask what they have and one of them kept on rolling out the meals they have while the other ones kept talking. At last, you decided to settle down to one of the meals and another attendant with an unwelcoming face, walked up to you for the payment which was 2 dollars.    Leaving there, you decided to continue with your walk and just about 20 metres from the first restau

*On relationship matters today* That he/ she helped you when you were in need, weak, depressed does not make him/ her husband/wife. Listen there is nothing like husband or wife material, there is only a husband/wife. You don't go about measuring the good qualities;godliness, character, beauty etc as yardstick for getting an help meet for you. If he/she will really be "an help meet for you" then it has to come from the Lord. Don't just jump into relationship with any and every good guy/lady that comes your way. For the fact that it is good, does not mean it comes from God or that's His perfect will for you. See, when God saw the need for an help meet for man, He bought all the living creatures before him to see what he would call them. Adam could have called one of the creature wife/help after all, all what God created is/was good, but the bible recorded there was not found an help meet for him and that was when God caused a deep sleep to fall upon him and H

Redefining purpose. Just recently, after camping at the NYSC orientation camp at Adamawa. I redeployed back to Oyo state and I was posted to a govt. Secondary School at the capital. I was disappointed on getting to the school because the structure was an eyesore. I was planning on getting rejected and get a letter of request to work in a private organisation instead, but somehow I just find myself not been able to summon courage to ask for a rejection based on the fact that an accommodation would not be provided although is wasn't far from my house, I just needed an alibi. Now, skip to when school resumed back after the session break, I resumed to the school, not still feeling good about it, my first day was a interesting one, I met people especially a teacher who made me feel accepted and not odd. After the assembly, it was time for the student to engage themselves in manual labour(that is, weeding) and I just found my self smiling and excited within, I was reminiscing on my

*What great value I've learnt* Prior to the time I was to be posted for my youth service. I was suppose to have graduated a year earlier and gone for service that year, but unfortunately, I had a delay and the plans I had earlier made with a friend on the service year  was forfeited. My delay was not attributed to the fact that I had a carry over in my exams but because I decided not to go for a practical course that I counted irrelevant to my course of study and unknown to me, it was a university course that can't be waived. So I had to pay a session school fees again and got delayed over a 1 unit practical course that I thought won't matter. *Lesson learnt: Ignorance kills.  That which you think doesn't matter could be the reason for your fall/ rising*. I was disappointed in myself, and as I saw my colleagues posting pictures of themselves in camp on our WhatsApp platform, I felt I was a failure. *Note: You are never a failure because you fail, you are only a

Getting your needs met through self value. Growing up I have often heard people in my locality using quotes like; "Use what you have to get what you want" and I have grown up to the interpretation of this quote to be that a female uses her body part, that is having sex to get a certain favour or thing from a male counterpart and in other hand the male bribe his way to obtain favour. Both applies to both male and female anyway, depending on who they want to get the favour from.  After several years, now as a young man in his mid twenties, I have grow out of the mindset and ideology as I was to later found out in life, that the true interpretation of the quote is that the value in you, the potentials you have, that which is unique to you that other don't have, can be your selling point or your means of obtaining favour from men. I have come to the reality that one does not need to bend corners or orchestrate things through manipulation to get whatever he wants. I h

Medication For Depression.                                 Depression according to Merriam Webster Dictionary: : a state of feeling sad : a serious medical condition in which a  person feels very sad, hopeless, and unimportant and often is unable to live in a normal way. : a period of time in which there is little  economic activity and many people do not have jobs.  Looking at this definition, you will find out that depression is a state of sadness in a man's life which could be attributed to hopelessness because he suddenly loses his self worth, image, esteem and value. It is also attributed to a medical condition in which a man feels sad, unimportant and hopeless, but let's get this straight. Depression unlike other medical condition is not something that can be cured using medicine whether conventional or unconventional. The antidepressants won't do you much good, what you need is to change the state of your being, It's a thing of the soul, whatever

Lesson Learnt: I have been ruminating for several days and wondering why a group of people who are majority in a country or place will suddenly rise up and form a sect based on the ideology that they own the land and should be in control of the happenings and events that occurs there. Many at times, this ideology has been the reason for bloodshed, destruction of life and properties, economic melt down, famine and many more. The climax of this is that the aftermath exceed the actual happenings, after this act and event might have been curb, it leads to high increase in depressed individual, suicide, drug abuse, malnutrition and many more, as the recipient of this happenings lose hope in life having lost all they loved and cared for. Now, to the lesson I learnt, I found out that right from the Bible days men tends to store up jealously and envy in their heart towards people that are prosperous especially when such individual or group is of another race, ethnic group, nation

Living your life right. Remember you are born to fill a vacuum in life. Begin to live the life you were created for. It is lack of identity that makes you want to be like another person if you know your true inheritance in Christ you will not thrive to pattern your life after a TV celebrity. Lack of identity will make you to think that  if you were born in a rich man's house your life will have been better. Riches is good but it can only buy you bed and not sleep, doctors and no health, cars and not safe journey. Riches and fame can grow wings and fly away like a bird so do not depend on them. There is a great entity that can give you all this but you must first seek after him and it is only through one entity you can seek after him. His name is Jesus it is only in Him that you can find true riches and fulfilment accept him today and you are sure to have a smooth ride to an eternal life just make Him the driver of your life and relax while he drives you to safety.
