"Marry him for who he is and not for what he has" I just have a little word to share with my lady friends.. This might sound like a cliche, but i will still go ahead and say it. Whether you are already in a relationship, or you are about to start one, or you are still waiting to meet the guy, you must look out for these qualities: He must know GOD deeply: Be wise to look into his christian life if truly he is a good christian who knows GOD deeply. If you have dated someone who does not know GOD, you will understand that no matter how hard you try, you can never enjoy peace. As a christian woman, you do not want to have anything to do with someone who does not know GOD! There are a lot of men who claim to be christians, but they are only church goers. So ladies, if what you truly want is to have a peaceful and loving marriage, then watch out for this quality. He should be a good listener: The truth is women like to talk. We have a lot to talk about. Having a m

ALL YOU NEED IS ONE MORE PUSH

WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING. NEVER BE IN A HURRY TO GIVE UP. JUST LIKE THE WOMAN IN LABOUR, THE EXCRUCIATING PAIN SHE FEELS WHEN SHE IS ABOUT TO DELIVER IS ACTUALLY BECAUSE THE BABY IS ALSO FIGHTING TO MAKE HER WAY INTO THE WORLD. THAT IS NOT THE TIME FOR HER TO GIVE UP, BUT TO PUSH ONE MORE TIME TO DELIVER HER JOY. THE AMAZING THING ABOUT PAIN IS THAT WHEN YOUR JOY COMES, YOU WILL NEVER REMEMBER THE PAIN YOU FELT- THE PAIN DISAPPEARS. SO WHY GIVE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE? ALL YOU NEED IS ONE MORE PUSH. REMEMBER, THE GREATER ONE LIVES IN YOU, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY!  

WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW

Image
I share with you some of the salient components some parents have either overlooked, or are not aware of regarding development style of their children. Let us however, take a closer look at these variables. 1. I find parents comparing their children with other children or even with siblings. This comparison dampens the self-confidence of a child which can transcend into the manifestation of other negative attitudes. Do not compare your children, rather celebrate their little achievements and motivate them to aspire to great inspirations.  2. Due to the cumbersome nature of training up a child, most parents send their children to boarding school as an escape route from the "stress". I am not negating the importance of boarding school, but my point is this, the boarding school isn't meant for every child. Therefore it's your responsibility to study your child and underscore what is suitable for your child. Don't try to escape from the responsibility, do

WHEN YOU DESIRE SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER HAD, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER DONE.

PUTTING ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET - YEH OR NAY?

An adage says, "do not put all your eggs in one basket". My colleague and I debated on this adage, and she is of the opinion  that though the adage might be right, she feels it could have been "be sure of the basket before putting all your eggs in it". She gave her reasons for not totally agreeing with the first. She said, even though the world is filled with bad and mean people, there are still few good people out there.  She gave me a literal example, that her mother deals with eggs and for over 30 years, she has never lost one. She ensured that the baskets were(are) tightly knitted,and also use juke bags to wrap the baskets before conveying them to her clients. Hmm. I must say this is deep. Please guys what you think?  I would like you to share your thoughts on this.  Keep soaring!!!

JUST ASK....AND IT'S ALL YOURS.

Happy New Week my friends. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Did you rest well?  Were you able to sort out those personal stuff? How about that thought you wanted to share with your spouse,  friend, sibling? Did you achieve something over the weekend? Did you unwind?  You know life is too precious to let yourself burdened with issues.  You do not need to allow yourself to go through that emotional stress all because you refused to do the right thing.  The truth is, if the person you call your friend cannot see through you and understand your feelings,  then I am afraid to say you are not in the right place.  Just want to lift your spirit as you walk through this week. This is very important: you cannot do it all by yourself. Ask GOD to help you and see you through. Do not lean on your own understanding or your own ability. It is way easier to rely on GOD for guidance than on your own skills.   Something remarkable happened to me yesterday and I will like to share with you

WISDOM FOR LIVING

WAITING IS PART OF PROTOCOL AND DISCIPLINE. WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE WAITING ON GOD FOR,  YOU MUST TRUST HIM TO DO AS HE HAS PROMISED.  YOU DON'T NEED TO ANTAGONISE YOURSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU. WAIT PATIENTLY ON HE WHO NEVER FAILS! THE SEASON OF WAITING COULD BE BORING AND DISCOURAGING, ESPECIALLY WHEN WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR SEEMS TO BE TAKING FOREVER TO COME. STILL WAIT. YOU ARE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY LEARNING TO BE PATIENT. AND WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN, NOTHING WILL STOP YOU.

HELPFUL MARRIAGE TIPS FOR MEN

Image
Marriage is a gift in itself. This gift is appreciated and meaningful when there is a consistent "kiononia" between both parties. "kiononia" is translated from the greek word "koivwvia"  which means "communication" or "joint participation" or "fellowship". All these definitions point towards one obvious direction...and in the marriage contest, it refers to a  consistent, meaningful, integration of couples.  That was just to strengthen what you hopefully know about marriage. This bit is basically for men to be aware of what happens in a relationship where the husband doesn't listen to his wife. For instance, you just got back home from a long day at work and your wife starts talking about her day and all of the antagonistic experiences at work, frustrations with her boss, school run, and all of other things. Some how in the midst of her words, you pay less attention, get busy and uninterested. If you don't ke

THE UNDILUTED JOY

Image
I define "Joy" as an internal, firm conviction of possibilities. There is a big difference between being "excited" and being "joyful". Excitement is referred to as a feeling of great enthusiasm and eagerness. A thrilling sensation, exciting anticipation and all that is associated with elation. As much as being excited gives us some level of motivation and a good feel in the pursuit of our interests in life, I however was amazed to find out that is has some negative synonyms like "agitation, delirium,  fever". It has been in record that excitement has driven a lot of people into various illicit and maladaptive behaviours like car-racing which has high risk tendency, drinking excessively, violence etc. I know you might have heard stories of people who nailed significant jobs and due to excitement went to hang out with friends, got drunk and had a car crash. I also believe you have heard stories of people who on the day they passed out from NYSC,

PLAY BY A DIFFERENT SET OF RULES

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible... Richard M. De Vos, Billionaire Entrepreneur. If you think more in critical terms, you will observe that your mind does not have to work very hard to believe all the negative stuff you think about yourself. It is an easier trend to believe you are not good enough, not able to trail- blaze, not to be accepted and all of those negative thoughts.  You see, most of the improvements in your life come from changing the negative beliefs or thought patterns you have about yourself and your potential. Personal growth comes from changing your beliefs about what you expect you can do and about what is possible for you.  The supremely confident person thinks, beliefs, and expects with every cell and fibre of their being that they will succeed and win in life. Self-doubters always expect to fail or lose or they simply stay neutral and accep

DEALING WITH THE NEXT-LEVEL CHALLENGE

I believe it's the heart desire of vision driven people to advance and make progress in specific areas of interest. As we cultivate these desires in our hearts, it is important that we get ready to yield to the experiences that comes with a next -level increase.  We celebrate our victories when we have our heart desires met, but on a second thought, those hearts desires have generated a next level challenge which we have to deal with at different points. For instance you were trusting God for a child, and now the child has come, you have celebrated the answered prayer but you have reduced hours of sleep, you are a bit stressed out, sometimes you wish you could hand the baby over to your mum and have some good sleep you know. The idea is this, the desire has been met, and the challenges are there to train you as you deal with them.  My younger brother who has been enthusiastic about studying in the UK after going through the rigorous processes is now living  his dreams an

WHAT TIME IS IT?

Hello friends, hope you all are having a great year already. Just few weeks ago, we wished our families and friends a happy new year- with high expectations.  And few days from now, we will say bye bye to January and we will usher in another month. The year is already one month gone.  What have you achieved so far? Are you still lying down all covered up in dust? You haven't stood up yet? Are you still crying over those spilled milk? Are you still lost?  Whatever you may be going through, I want you to know that time waits for no man.  And while you are still there wallowing in self pity,  your mates have gone far, already achieving their set goals. There's still time for you my friend. Stand up and dust yourself up.  There's greatness inside of you. Why not spark up that little light in you. You have cried enough, regretted enough, blamed enough. Now, it is time for you to do yourself some good by setting up your life. Get up and move my friend.  When you ha

BASING YOUR DECISIONS ON VALUES

A friend of mine boldly told me that her mother said, "To live long you must be selfish". I pondered over this statement for a while and i wondered why and how such line of thought could spring up from a motherly figure. I am not being judgemental but then  I thought about It and as much as I could relate to that but I would like to share my analysis and paradigm. Possibly she might have had her shares of disappointments, heartbreaks, betrayals and an a consistent negative response to her genuine motives. However this piece is neither to agree nor disagree with her opinion because most often than not we are shaped by our experiences and choices.    As much as I respect the underpinning rationale behind her assumptions and choice of dealing with her experiences, it is ideal to understand how much our rash ideologies and actions affect the people around us. Responding to the issues of life from the stand point of how it affects us alone can push us into formulating i

DO NOT JUST EXIST.....LIVE

A lot of suggestions showed up regarding the definition of the word "Exist". Some perceive it to connote "having an objective reality or being" others think it means to live, especially under harsh conditions. I quite agree with the later definition because I have seen a lot of people who walk on the surface of this earth that are just existing. They have given up and have accepted the situation as their "fate or destiny" as the cases differ. They argue about politics, sit down for hours engaging in meaningless conversations, discuss their issues, not objectively to profer solution but to continue from where they stopped in the blame-game defence mechanism. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with discussing who the next president will be and the possibilities of giving you a better democracy, but friend, there is a life that is bigger than that.  The glory which you seek unfortunately isn't transferable, but it's within your power
