Threat

Can life be threating?
Can man threaten man?
Should life be threating?
Should man threaten man?

Creation was never design to be threating, neither was creature was designed to threaten each other.
Dominion was never given to man over man. Life was design for pleasure, never for pain.

The moment creation or creature  become the cause of wickedness, the sequence of the creator has been tampered with.

Fear is not for man.

Resist fear and every torment of fear.
Be the best among your kind. Strive for excellence.
Be a war Lord on your knee.
When you do.
The threat, torment and fear of both creature and creation will be far from you.

Never struggle to have the "trademark" or the "titles", very soon the world will know where the answer came.
Influence is never position driven. Leadership is an attitude. A job is different from influence, get your perspectives right.

Speak the truth, in love and with all tact.
Fear is not for man.

Rhyme and Pattern

Life plays out in form of music. 

Patterned in a multi-directional flow,

history and stories of our lives replay itself with a notable rhyme.

Have been disappointed severally,

There are no time in history when help was withheld, 

pattern of grace is regular even in face of the many strokes of anger of the holiest of men.

Never be quick to notice bad rhyme and pattern of life.

Rather observe the hand writing of the invisible creator, the only wise one,

the silent listener in every conversation, the visitor who never gives burden but pleasures forever.

Who do you respect?

Whose words are written in gold?

 Whose life encourages your rhyme and pattern, give attention to their words and           actions?

Success begins when you know that every day brings the best of life with the right rhyme and pattern.

Success begins today.

BE A STAR

Great relationships need more than just good communication. To keep your relationship intact and alive, be a ‘STAR’.

Support – Support each other on a variety of levels.

For example, supporting each other’s life goals is important over the long term, while sharing household chores fairly is a way to provide day-to-day practical help.

Trust – You have to be able to trust each other in order to strengthen a loving partnership. Trust grows when behaviours go well together with values.

Showing that you will do what you say you will.  Acting in honest and trustworthy ways.

This is an essential aspect of demonstrating that the relationship remains a priority.

Appreciation – Sincere appreciation expressed at the right moment is vital.

After being in a relationship for years, couples often assume that their partner knows they are appreciated.

They may stop expressing thanks or compliments. They can fall into the trap of taking one other for granted.

Expressions of appreciation do not have to be big or expensive to be valuable. A simple “thank you” goes a long way.

Respect – In healthy relationships, people respect and accept one another, warts and all.

It is important to value each other’s opinions and understand that even if you love someone, there are bound to be disagreements.

Accepting one another’s differences and finding constructive ways to resolve them are keys to long-term success.

If one person feels they must always “give in” to the other’s opinions or decisions, this provides a breeding ground for resentment.

Over the long term, such resentments have the potential to destroy the love and joy in a partnership.

No relationship is blissful all of the time! Most couples experience ups and downs as a normal part of living.

In other situations, relationship difficulties can feel overwhelming.

In this part of the world, the practice is for couples to tell only the good sides of their stories.

It has been observed that most of the time, when a man or woman is confident enough as to tell the real bad side of their relationship story to others, more often than not, such relationship is as good as over.

While it is not encouraged to let 3^rd parties into your home with their opinions, it cannot be over emphasized that in the multitude of counsel, there is safety.

The caution therefore is, where do you seek counsel?

·        No matter how great or small a person is, you must have someone you respect and whose opinion matters.

·        Find that person as it pertains to your spouse.

·        Understand the reason why such a person is reverend by our spouse.

·        With God’s wisdom, endeavour to transfer same reverence to such a person.

When you and your partner are feeling “stuck”, consider accessing relevant information from God’s Word; make research on the subject in books of renowned authors.

-Godfrey

The Truth

Can you stand to be told the truth?

Especially when you have not being the best of yourself?

The truth about you may not be written on the surface. You may be better than the traits that are exhibited beneath your personal glow.

Inconsistency is human. Don’t run away from the truth. We all at a certain point in our life have to being naked and never ashamed.

Recently, I had to face bitter reality of things. This led to healing and victory. If in recent time you never beaten yourself to shape you are a disaster in waiting.

No matter what level you are on the food chain, you can be wrong. Learn to admit early. That is the problem of the self centre, egoistic personalities. You can be wrong!

Our ability to respond swiftly to the knowledge of the truth, determine long we will remain relevant. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent beyond normal.

Better to be corrected as a gate keeper, than bring shame yourself when you have become a prince.

The most difficult examination is self examination, but it pays more divided.

What to do with the truth.

1.       Prove it.

2.       Receive it.

3.       Meditate on it.

4.       Act on it.

5.       Live by it.

6.       Hand it over.

Remember, the boss can be wrong.

Empty

Empty your heart from all that hurts, put the past behind,the future is here.

Empty yourself of vanity.
Keep no evil or vain thought,Empty.

People are precious :RANDOM THOUGHT

To think highly of yourself than a fellow human is the beginning of your down fall, if you ever have risen to any tangible height of success.

Great minds acknowledge the input of people, who destiny bring their way and never think or say it could have been done anyway if they were not part of the venture.

Everyone you meet carry a flavour. Their willing expression of themselves input the aroma of their personality on everything they do. If you have ever being willing, you must be influential and many will never forget you.

The brave and courageous cannot be overwhelmed by the circumstance of life, they always know that the game will soon go in their favour, if only they keep consistent in influencing people, because people are the future.

Never be quick to feel you are special. If you are one in a million, it is humbling that there are about three hundred and thirty of you in China. Treat the next person like you will want to be treated.

Life will make sure you are paid in your own coin if you mishandle the human capital around you. My testimony of having good and lasting relationship is strongly hinged on the consideration of others people above all,( if and when there are destiny decisions, kindly follow your internal guidance system, observe not the cloud).

Think no evil. Be open minded. Love genuinely

.

The greatest blessing of God to creation is the human race- Man.

THE SEAT OF INTELLECT

Ever wonder what is the most intelligent part of you?

The Supreme Being made us with an all in-built system and structure. The regenerated mind is not to be guided by any force externally, but by his soul. The soul of a man is the most intelligent part of him.

Little wonder, when most of us get into certain issues, we say: “but something told me....” a trained mind is the greatest tool of success.

How can we train our mind?

Challenge yourself for more: use your mind (soul), demand for more productivity from yourself. Don’t be lazy. Do the mental labour, less you do the menial labour.

Educate your soul: feed your soul. Read. Brainstorm with greater minds. Learn something new daily.

Keep at it: it may not make sense at first, but if your mind says YES! Kindly never stop, there is a gold mine around and in you.

The soul: the seat of intellect.

TRANSITION

Life is structured to change levels of operation, this show up in our lives at different seasons.

Signals within our internal guidance system are triggered at the brink of every new season or cycle. An untrained mind will ignore such, probably because it always does not appear like a progress move. It’s indicative that such person has no knowledge of the law of growth: first down-ward, later a spontaneous growth upward.

Kindly note, the down ward growth is short and not cyclical but once, meaning that when you experience down ward turn over and over again in life you need to pay attention to the signals around you it’s either you are wrong or someone (or the location) is wrong.

 Different stages in life present themselves as different challenges, if you gain peace in your soul quickly and favour begin to flow your way, it’s not a down ward growth or a recession, but you are  negotiating a critical curve in your history.

This often happens when certain element in your life don’t have your critical attention. For example, when you sense or find a YES within you concerning a relationship and you delayed in consummating it in holy matrimony, you may go through a critical curve in life that does not mean an evil thing is befall you.

When you break this law of life over and over again the weight becomes heavier. When a man senses an alert to own a private apartment or change his apartment and he declines, it will take a drastic move to get him through the critical curve.

We often call certain things delay in life, but they are actually a reflection of not being sensitivity to the musicality of life and the rhythm of season. Many have being hypnotised to belief a lie or too slow for succeed others too fearful to make the moves. Remember, the prompt and courageous rules.

Learn to obey the transition code of your life. We are only quick to locate the bad once; however there are several wonderful signals life sends to us which we ignore. It’s time to be more sensitive.

“The best time to plant a tree was twenty-five years ago; the second best time is now”.

Kindly obey the transition details of your life, for there no better time to make that move than NOW!

Fundamentals of an Extra-ordinary Life

Life is fun with the right set of individuals and experiences.

Things don’t just happen our input have great resultant effect on the way life treats us in the final analysis. In my eventful life, certain qualities stands out in the history of extra-ordinary achievers which are worthy of note. I bring to your notice again these tools of great reward.

Capital: this element of progress does not just mean money; our relationship or network is capital, there is so much capital in our network. It’s a conscious effort. If a man carefully cultivates a rich network his opportunities are endless.

Good character is a capital. Integrity is an in-estimable capital.

Skill: is learnt capacity over time.

This is discovered through trial and error. Its not education, skill makes a man deliver in quick time with less stress and error. If you are jobless it’s a proof you have not discovered a skill. Kindly develop a skill.

Education: learn the language of the world. The more you are educated the less you lack work, job or funds. Education is to train your mind recognise and interpret the encoding of the world market, a man without this will be limited.

Desire to Succeed: the drive. To lack the drive is like a tyre without air. A desire is an alarm within a purposeful man, which wakes him even when the surrounding environment is noisy. No one can succeed extra-ordinarily without a deep and burning desire. Desire is found in love for something or someone.

Hard Work: this is an expression of a desire; dreams don’t just get fulfilled men run them.

Levels of Love

Never under estimate the power of love.

Love is the singular emotion of power; that can make or mar the progress pattern of life.

Never under estimate that power.

Speaking of love in marriage, these are very important levels or call it BLENDS OF LOVE necessary for a fulfilled love life.

First level: DUTY

Love in its mature state comes with it certain duties expected of both parties in love.

For the husband, the providing basic needs of the home, leadership, mental and physical involvement in family activities. Sex is also a duty for both parties.

For the wife; respect, organising meals, clothing and comfort of the family and more are duties of critical attention.

Second level: FRIENDSHIP

This is that stage of intercession.

For example; after a particular fund has been released for family up-keep for two weeks, may be in just four days the total fund has been expended.

The wife on this level of love should be able to intercede for more, with carefully crafted words of love.

The husband on this level of love should also accept the plea of his spouse without much agony.

Intercession is that comfort of being able to approach the husband or wife to change his or her mind on a matter.

If you always know better than your partner, you are not in love.

Third level: TOTAL EMPATHY

Do you think for or about your spouse?

This is the level of active thought for your spouse.

For example; Mr. A leaves for an important six hour meeting without breakfast, know that he is not such a person who likes to always eat out, his wife Mrs.B, calls the nearest restaurant to place an order in his name to be delivered to Mr. A 's office immediately after the meeting.

Wao! What a deposit of Love!

That is active thinking- Total empathy.

Knowing when your spouse needs a thing, before they even know it themselves and making plans to prepare it.

Kindly note; for a heaven on earth experience in life, purpose and family the three levels must run in harmony.

Love provides. Love observes duties.

Love intercedes. Love forgives.

Love is actively thing.

Love is life.

THE IMPERFECT ME!

Many seek a perfect client, others a perfect boss. Some look forward to see a perfect organisation.

Looking deeply into my life and series of event that have characterised my history, I seek a perfect me, who will be blameless, flawless, spotless and without wrinkle. Think I should do better than what I’m doing presently.

Stories of how many fall short of divine expectation are in my face, even the threat of being alone, without support physically torch my soul, sometimes due to my mistakes or should I call it the cycles of life. I don’t know what.

When do I attain perfection?

I remember the story of a young saxophonist, who at an event made a beautiful rendition, “too skilful for a young lady”, was the expression on the face of everyone at the event.

 The master of the ceremony soon announced that the young saxophonist has been awarded a life time scholarship in any institution of her choice with regular stipend to follow; more cash gifts were also given to her.

In a long while, I have not experience such dramatic gesture towards a mere mortal.

But her countenance was noticed to reflect an unhappy state, when asked why. She said (while pointing an old man sitting in crowd), “that man in blue is not happy”. Who is he? “He is my master” she answered.

 The moral of this story is that: No other accolade makes sense but the masters’.

While we live in this mortal casing, we cannot attain perfection.

 However, we should strive to please the master only.

  Pursue with the last drop of breathe the leadings of the master.

Finally, never judge the servant of another man, for to his master he stands or falls.

At Least One Friend

At Least One Friend

An old man turned to me and asked,

“How many friends have you?”

“Why, ten or twenty friends have I”

And I named off just a few.

He smiled a knowing smile at me.

“But think of what you’re saying.

There’s so much that you don’t know!

A friend is just not someone

To whom you say “Hello”!”

“A friend’s tender shoulder

On which to softly cry,

A well to pour your troubles down

And raise your spirit high.

A friend’s a hand to pull you up

From darkness and despair,

When all your other so-called “friends”

Have helped to put you there!

A true friend is an ally

Who can’t be moved or bought,

A voice to keep your name alive

When others have forgotten

But most of all a friend’s a heart,

A strong and sturdy wall,

For from the hearts of friends there comes

The greatest love all!

So think of what I’ve spoken,

For every word is true.

And answer once again, my child,

How many friends have you?”

Awaiting my reply

I smiled at him and answered

“At least ONE friend have I!”

In Pursuit Of Righteousness

In Pursuit Of Righteousness

Purity is the hallmark of godliness. 

Purity is not a life without filth, but a proof of constant cleansing.

This however, is not a stamp for an unrighteous life, rather a proof of a down payment for the pursuit of a life without grunge; it’s the supreme God giving excuses for our infirmity.

My head bow, humbling my heart for the unimaginable amazing grace greasing my path to stay righteous and pure. What a wonderful God! 

Our motivation to pursue righteousness should not just be to escape the end-time event or horror, but also that our testimony of Christ will not be evil spoken.

How to walk in this pursuit

·         Don’t live in denial

·         Never tempt yourself

Self Gentleness

One form of gentleness we should practice is towards ourselves. 

We should never get irritated with ourselves because of our imperfections. 

It is reasonable to be displeased and sorry when we commit faults, but not fretful or spiteful to ourselves.

Some make the mistake of being angry because they have been angry, hurt because they have hurt, vexed because they have been vexed. 

They think they are getting rid of anger, that the second remedies the first; actually, they are preparing the way for fresh anger on the first occasion.

Besides this, all irritation with ourselves tends to foster pride and springs from self-love, which is displeased at finding we are not perfect.

We should regard our faults with calm, collected and firm displeasure.

We correct them better by a quiet persevering repentance than by an irritated, hasty, and passionate one.

When your heart has fallen, raise it gently, humbling yourself before God, acknowledging your fault, but not surprised at your fall.

Francis de Sales, “A Mother’s Heart”

Love Vs Obligation

A house is a house until love comes through the door and love intuitively goes around sprinkling that special extra that transforms a house into a very special home for very special people:your family.

Money,of course,can build a charming house,but only love can furnish it with feeling of home.

Duty can pack adequate sack lunch,but love may decide to tuck a little love note inside.

Money can provide a television set, but love controls it and cares enough to say no and take the guff that comes with it.

Obligation can cook a meal,but embellishes the table with potted ivy trailing around slender candles.

Duty writes many letters, but love tucks a joke or apicture or a fresh stick of gum inside.

Compulsion keeps a sparkling house. But love and prayer stand a better chance of producing a happy family.

Duty gets offended quickly if  isn't appreciated. But love learns to laugh a lot and work for the sheer joy of doing it.

Obligation can pour a glass of milk,but quite often love will add a little chocolate.

The Makings of a Great Story

I love the story of Joseph. I think it's my favorite. There are many people who love this story. What makes it such a great story?

See if this lines up with your thoughts: I love how his brothers hate him. I think it's great that they plot to kill him. It's really cool how they decide to throw him in a pit. It's moving to read how his father's heart breaks at the report of Joseph's "death". Being sold to slavery must have been so cool! Getting to ride those camels...

That's not all! It gets better! He gets to go to prison for something he didn't do! He's put in chains. I love to read how he helps this guy who forgets about him for 2 years! Ah, what a story...

Are these the parts of this story that make it great to you? Of course, there are those other elements. There's the love of his father. He gets a great coat of many colors. He has awesome dreams of the future. He's put in charge of the household of Potiphar. Then, he's given charge of the jail! Ultimately, he's brought into the king's presence, and obtains the most powerful position in the kingdom.

Too often we forget that these are elements of the same story.

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of having dinner with Mark Bouman, a missionary from Cambodia. He has some stories. Someone he doesn't know gave him $100,000 to build a school for the government in his country. At another time, he was in a group of people who raised $250,000 for the mission field in 15 minutes. He told about how 2 major league baseball players each gave several hundred thousand dollars to his missions work.

Great story, right?

The missionary also told how he and his family stood on the street in front of his house as a jeep with a mounted machine gun came around the corner shooting everyone that was outside. His family got inside in time. He told of the raw sewage that surrounded the school. He told of fleeing the country with his family at night. he told of how his house was the only thing between two warring factions. He told of machine guns being pointed in his face as his family watched.

Guess what... Same story.

What's your story? There's a consistent pattern in the "great" stories. It's the pattern of God's faithfulness. What makes God's faithfulness so evident is the obedience of his people. The story of Joseph and the story of Mark Bouman (the missionary) are stories of men. They're just people like you and me. Their lives have effected untold thousands.

Whether I realize it or not, my life has all the makings of a great story. I have a key roll. No matter what circumstances are in front of me, all I have to do is obey what God commands. It may or may not involve prisons, camels or machine guns, but that doesn't make a difference. My Dynamic Lifestyle of Worship is not contingent on comfort, ease, or convenience. It's a decision I make. I will give God my life. All of it. I will offer him the highest form of worship: my obedience.

Right there are all the makings of a great story!

Credit to Pastor Greg Lathe (the author) and my friend Charles Dayo Oluyori, who forward the story to me.God bless you sirs.

Wisdom but bitter

For some people, the only true action towards change is the one they lead. Wake up, this isn't BC, it's AD. Quit hating on everything (one).

Life does not revolve only around your idea.

The earlier you recognise the all-important input of other men, the faster you realise and live in greatness.

Nothing is absolute in itself.

Everything- idea, doctrine, innovation, beliefs, ideology, and teachings- will require balance.

Balance at some point may not necessarily be in the middle.

The wisdom of the biblical King Solomon may not work in the days of Barack Obama.

The same secrets that took Tiger Woods to the top should never be discarded, because he failed.

Take the success secret, leave the rest. Learn the tricks of the tiger, but never enter the woods.

There is no War General without a scar.

There are no iron-clad rules in life. Be flexible.

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not the bend beyond normal.

Life should  be expressed within a family structure, however when you are single greatness begins.

Kindly do yourself a favour, do not wait for the structure before you succeed.

If do not succeed because someone treated you bad, you may soon find out you sold your birth right to an offence.

If plan A fails, remember the alphabet has 25 other letters.

Give no one the opportunity to make you angry.

Anger is for the fool.

Talk less.

Cheers.

Silent Night

Great day.
It will shock you that I m not about composing another christmas song or something..
Silent nights occur in everyones life and there may be season of some quiets.
The approach to the difficult seasons of life determines what you are made of.

Silent moments are those challenging moments of life you dont want to return to.
If this moments are recourrent in your life it means there is something you should learn but you have not.
Brace up to learn.
Document the lessons and experience as you grow.
Nothing is as difficult as it first appear.
Never violate your internal guidance system.
Be real with yourself. Never say you are not wrong.
Simply learn and move on.

Your journey to greatness begins when you can tell yourself the truth without killing yourself.
As we learn in life our mistakes should be minimal.
Learning preceed reigning.
Never run from the bitter truth.
People upgrade your life when they tell you the truth.
You are more blessed if you can agree to change.
Am changing 360 degree from now. So much lessons.

God is ever faithful.
He will never tell you to jump only to pull off the mattress.
Always remember that you are in safe hands.

Peace to my soul.

Quotes are life

Great day a friend shared this with me in a mail this week and I found it helpful, so I think every should be bless by them.

Here are a few quotes about wealth that I feel the urge to push into your face this morning

·        If you don’t see the need for an extra income, please just get it at least for the fatherless and motherless. Godfrey Ogbuehi

·        “Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor should be practical and prosaic. It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.” Oscar Wilde quotes (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)

·        You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy.” Garth Brooks (American Country singer)

·        “Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time” Margaret Bonnano

·        How unfair the fate which ordains that those who have the least should be always adding to the treasury of the wealthy

·        The No. 1 rule is to know the difference between an asset and a liability. The rich focus on their asset columns while everyone else focuses on their income statements. The more money that goes into my asset column, the more my asset column grows. The more my assets grow, the more my cash flow grows. And as long as I keep my expenses less than the cash flow from these assets, I will grow richer, with more and more income from sources other than my physical labor.            Robert T. Kiyosaki

·      Money isn't everything...but it ranks right up there with oxygen. Rita Davenport

·     “[The] ideal client is the very wealthy man in very great trouble.” John Sterling quotes

·     Happiness is a positive cash flow. Fred Adler

·     Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. Benjamin Franklin

·     Anyone who says money can't buy happiness just doesn't know where to shop.

·     Fortune does not change men, it unmasks them. Suzanne Necker
