FLASH BACK

Happy new week to you esteemed readers! As we march into the final quarter of the year soon,I'll like us to take out time to reflect on how far we've gone compared to our written vision and goals.  In case you discovered that you've been complacent and scared of taking risks, you need to understand that you can't become successful by playing safe all the time...you need to stretch your horizons. Perhaps you've been caught in the middle of so many things...jack of all trades;master of none.  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 channel your energy to the right things. Sieve out the ones that are essential to your destiny/purpose. Remembering the shortness of life strips away all the distractions of life and reminds us of what’s most important.  "Visiting your mortality reminds you that your months are numbered.” Have you been maximising y...

SPIRITUAL GROWTH Hey there, it's a new week and we'll be wrapping up the series we've been on for a couple of days.  I would tag this as the most important area of life where you must be intentional about your growth. Reason being that growth in this area affects every other aspect of your life. As you walk closely with God, His presence will take away some characters from you by default.... those little comfortable lies would have to stop...those unhealthy desires would have to be forfeited. You'll begin to see the need to be serious with your DESTINY. Investing in your spiritual growth entails you spending time with God. Many of us wonder why we're not growing spiritually.  Just fast for a day, you're complaining! Intercede at night, you're lamenting!! Sow a seed, it's too difficult!!!  Spend time digging deep into His word,(only 25 mins you're back on social media chatting)!!!! Yet you want to see tremendous growth and tremendous grace to function...

Blessed day to bloom! We've been on a series tagged invest in yourself... and I'm pretty sure we've been learning a lot. Today we'll be looking at a vital aspect that we must never ignore... YOUR HEALTH MATTERS You do hear people say, it is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver. It's an actual fact. When you have good health, you know you can go out and achieve anything. You are unstoppable but with poor and terrible health, every day seems like the last day.  When you are healthy, you are efficient, sound mentally and productive.  Investing in your health entails eating good meals, having routines of exercise, consuming enough fruits and vegetables, etc.  When you invest in your health, you’ll surely reap the result. Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account. Do not be too spiritual to the extent that you ignore the state of your health. You need this body to be in good state if you...

Yayyy, it's a new week that's filled with lot of promises for you. I prepared something for us to digest. Last week, we started a series tagged invest in yourself and today we'll be looking at a vital aspect that you must pay attention to... DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS We all know the proverb that says being the jack of all trades makes you the master of none. Well it's the truth and we need to pay attention to it. Successful people  never stop improving themselves. They are where they are because they improve constantly. If you don’t improve yourself, you might become stagnant and be left behind in a fast-moving world that is changing. The world is too impatient to bear your mediocrity. If you're into catering, what do you know/have that would make people want to patronise you and not go to other caterers. There's need for us to strive for mastery. This generation of young ones are always in a haste and fail to settle down and make conscious efforts towards excellence....

Hello there, trust your week has been splendid. Today we'll be starting up a new series and we will be learn important spheres of our lives where we need to invest our time and gain adequate knowledge. Today we would be looking at..... GAINING FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE Wealth is having enough so that you do not have to worry about having enough. A lot of people so desire to be wealthy but only few are willing to pay the sacrifice of gaining knowledge and insight into the principles of wealth and financial freedom. Useful hints like maintaining the habit of saving, self control and delayed gratification, saying no to debt, etc are efficient tips that help one take charge of his or her finances.  And don’t forget that paying yourself first and living below your means can fund your future project and achieve your goals! Saving enough money to pay cash for what you want and will gives you the opportunity to quit a job, retire early, start the side hustle you love or have the financial fre...

ONE slack, MANY holes!

Hello there...its a new week! I prepared something for you already. Join me on the table quickly...... Have you noticed that when a yam tuber gets infected with mosaic, it spreads to other areas in no time? Okay you might not really agree or understand this because you're not a farmer.  How about few bean weevils in a bag of beans? In few days they reproduce and hence the quality of the beans dwindles because they get eaten up by the weevils. Unseriousness in one area of our lives often spread to every other areas and then soon enough every aspect of our lives just goes haywire. When one finger gets stained with oil, it spreads to the other fingers almost immediately. When we get flippant at delicate and necessary issues of our lives, we do not see those negative effects immediately. At the onset, we leave off every warning signals and promptings from our conscious minds, up until it gets worse and affects very delicate issues in our lives. As you strive towards the fulfillment of ...

DIE AT YOUR POST

A house church in the former soviet union received a copy of the gospel of Luke. Since it was illegal to possess this scripture, they tore it to pieces and distributed it among the body of believers. Their plan was to memorize the portion they had been given, then on the next Lords day they would meet and redistribute the sections. On Sunday, these believers arrived inconspicuously in small groups throughout the day so as not to arouse the suspicion of KGB informers. By dusk they were all safely inside, windows closed and doors locked. They began singing a hymn quietly but with deep emotion. Suddenly the door was pushed open and in walked two soldiers with loaded automatic weapons at the ready. One shouted, all right everybody line up against the wall. If you wish to renounce your commitment to Jesus, leave now. Two or three quickly left, then another. After few more seconds, two more. This is your last chance. Either turn against your faith or stay and suffer the consequences. Another...

MENTORS ARE LADDERS

Image
It's a new week! I'm sure you've set out already to take vital steps towards your dream. Here's some dose of wisdom you might want to digest. Today we'll be talking about mentorship. I do understand that there are so many school of thoughts as regards this topic but I'll be shedding some light on the relevant aspect. Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. Your mentor may be older or younger than you, but bear this in mind that they must have a certain area of expertise. It is a learning and development partnership between someone with vast experience and someone who wants to learn. This is needed because interaction with an expert may also be necessary to gain proficiency in certain areas of life. Identifying strong mentors in your field is a good way to set yourself up for significant career transitions. This also applies to your spiritual growth.  Men...
