Hurrayyyy! It's TBT (throw back Thursday)! It has almost become a tradition for us to go back memory lane on Thursdays, reminding ourselves of good old times and sharing nice pictures on social media. It's a good thing because they could help us get optimistic and get on our feet again. However, it's tragic that after such days some of us go back to worry and being pessimistic. Worry is a product of fear and unbelief. A writer (Olayade Kehinde) likened worry to a rocking chair which keeps you busy but leads you nowhere. Today I would like us to learn how to reminiscence on God's goodness and mercies to us. We must accept finite disappointment but never loose infinite hope- Martin Luther King Jr Rather than get pessimistic due to worries, we could focus more on what's working, having God's faithfulness in mind and grasp hope. This would yield results that would wow us. When things get hard and discouraging, you could do a throw back again, meditate on the scriptu...

A young farmer often had the challenge of getting a shade to rest after his daily farm work. He finally decided to plant a seed (oak) that would eventually germinate into a big tree so he could rest under it's shade subsequently. Few days later, he noticed a young paper birch shedding forth it's fresh leaves on his farm. He then aborted his previous plan of growing the oak tree. When this plant finally grew big, he began to enjoy it's shelter. However, the farmer knew that at the start of the summer, the plant would wither but he still did not do anything about his proposed oak tree. Summer came and his little shelter withered and he was back to square one. Now it was rather too late to for him to plant his oak because its season had gone... Complacency is a feeling of being satisfied with how things are and not wanting to make them better. Complacency is a very bad attitude especially when coupled with unawareness of some potential danger, defects and the likes. The story ...

Hey there, how has the week been? Hope you've been consistent with your strivings and goals? Last time, we talked about tagging a purpose to those things we desire to learn and accomplish, all in a bid to ensure that we become consistent and not wavering. Today, I'll be sharing with us one more key that has worked for me in some aspects of my life.  Being accountable to someone would help you to be time conscious and do away with excuses. This person could be a dear friend who's concerned about your development and growth or it could be someone more matured than you are and has some valid results in that area.  We're emotional beings so it's normal to no longer feel like pushing those dreams further, but when there's clarity of purpose and you have someone watching your back, it would be difficult to throw aside those goals and dreams.  If you are accountable to someone for something that you do, you must show a level of responsibility and be ready to justify yo...

Sandra woke up to a bright morning sun so enthusiastic about the new skill she was going to learn; being a professional pianist would be cool, she thought. After having a quick shower, she dashed out of the house to the studio. Mark, her tutor was already waiting for her at the studio.... Weeks went by and she was finally done with the tutorials. All she needed to to now, was to keep practising and learning from some online music websites.  It's being three months now, and she hasn't really gotten far with her target. It's more like she has lost the motivation she once had, being unable to meet up with her daily targets and now she's beginning to think she made a mistake by choosing to get skillful in playing the piano. Does this in anyway sound farmilar with what you maybe struggling with right now? Is your behavior inconsistent with your goals? If so, it could be keeping you from living the life you say you wish to live. Exploring the inconsistencies between what you ...

 Hi there, it's a new day to blossom... Do schedule some time to meditate on this.  Many written goals never come to realisation because most people have not applied a catalyst called diligence. The first scripture that ever comes to mind when the subject diligence comes to play is Proverbs 22:29.  It says 'Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean  men." Diligence is steady application, and careful work involving long-term effort. The great and positive effects of the application of diligence cuts across all spheres of life.  You want to be successful in business, you wish to be a first class student, do you want to fulfill destiny, do you desire to operate in a high level of the anointing and grace of God? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then YOU MUST BE DILIGENT. Diligence births excellence and mastery. Come to think of it, what do you think would make Kings and noble men come in se...

Happy new week dear readers! We thank God for the conclusion of the series titled VISION. I got lot of feedbacks from us and I'm glad we learnt great piece of knowledge from that series.  Since the beginning of this year, we've talked majorly about aspirations, ambitions, bringing dreams to reality, etc. Today I'll be drawing our attention to the fact that amidst our great desire to achieve wonderful things, it's essential that nothing takes the place of God in our lives.  Success ain't complete when your relationship with God is not healthy. We should try as much as possible to not get carried away by the busyness of life and urge to acquire great things and then forget to maintain constant communication with our father, our source and sustainer.  Solomon, the wisest king who ever lived, with so much wealth and influence studied life and came up with this conclusion- Ecclesiastes 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandm...

Hey there, hope your day was fruitful?  As we wrap up our series on vision, we'll be talking about goals and targets. For every great dreams / visions, there's a need for us to set out timely goals that'll lead us to our promised land.  Let's take for instance, if you desire to have da business or registered company? You do understand quite clearly that a company won't be formed out of nowhere and then placed in your hands for management. That would be an expensive joke! There has to be plans, targets, strategies, etc. It would be disrespectful for me to ask you if you have plans for this month that's already one week out. But I would rather ask you if those plans you have would take you any step closer to your big dream. Let's quit chasing the wind and achieving nothing tangible in the long run.  You don't have to learn everything or participate in every activity. Learn to sieve out the ones that are essential to your destiny/purpose. Nothing is more mo...

Hey there, hope it's not too late to say happy new week...  Well today's article might be a little lengthy but just stay with me as we digest each word. Last time we talked about discipline and as promised I'll be shedding more light on three areas in which we need to exercise discipline.  MANAGEMENT OF TIME : time is one common factor that every human has and it's split equally on a daily basis. However, some people have mastered the art of making good use of their time while others engage in unnecessary frivolities which do not take them anywhere near their dreams. Getting up early is one of the intelligent daily practices that great people perform with acute consistency.  It’s so easy to sleep too much. Too many of us wish we had more time, yet we waste the time we have. An analysis from an author states that getting up an hour earlier every day gives you seven extra hours in a week. That’s thirty fresh hours in a month. Almost an extra workweek every thirty days! Th...

Hey there, trust your week has been fruitful? We started a series last week and it has been mind blowing. Do well to check them out in case you missed any... But if you didn't, kindly join me as we feast on today's topic. When you hear the word discipline, what comes to mind?? The English dictionary describes being disciplined as having a level of self control and controlled behavior. One who has a great vision ahead would definitely need to set up some rules/value systems that'll guide him till he gets to his destination. For those who play adventurous games on their phones; when the game is about to start, you're usually given a breakdown of how the whole event should turn out and you're also given a target. But that's not all, there are usually rules and tips that you'll be given and failure to abide to such would lead to you loosing out in the game. This same principle applies so much in every area of life, for those who have discovered their purposes th...
