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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Ever wondered why almost every motivational speaker and influential people talk about vision? Well, it's because that's what will keep you going and focused in this world that's so filled with lot of distractions. Simply put, vision is having clarity towards your life's purpose. Vision is a mental picture of the future. It is an idea of what the future can hold, but has not yet happened. Vision embodies our hopes and ideals. It gives us a sense of purpose. Visions brings us flashes or glimpses of what is possible. Having a vision about one’s life purpose is one of the most powerful things we can have.A vision gives us four critical things that can make all the difference in our lives and the lives of others: 1. It gives you focus: In this generation where so many are pressured into living fake lives and imitating others, vision is the factor that will help you to be yourself and stay focused. You wouldn't find me in a fashion house learning how to design clothes be...

Hey there, here's a warm welcome to you 'cause you'll be partaking in a series that'll change your paradigm of thoughts. Few weeks back, I wrote a poem titled- What do you see? Several responses were gotten from various people and it became obvious that people do not really go beyond their visions and belief system. Vision is so vital to doing exploits in all areas of life. Anyone with access to vision at any level is endowed with power to do exploits. That is why the bigger and clearer your vision, the great your exploits. When God visited Abraham,he didn't just give him a promise, He opened His eyes to see what the future should look like. You can't achieve what you don't see! What do you see concerning that business of yours? What do you see concerning your career? What do you see concerning the company you plan to establish? What do you see concerning yourself? Here's an excerpt of the poem I wrote: What do you see? What are your fears? Lay hold of y...

Hey there, how's the new week going? Here's a quick breakfast to set us on our feet this morning. What comes to your mind when you hear the word- “SKILL”? Some say it’s an ability that has been acquired by training , some other school of thought sees it as a form of artistry that gives one a competitive edge . Owing to the fact that a skill is acquired and not necessarily inborn, we can conclude that both school of thoughts are correct.  However, the beauty of any skill is in its marketability. Any skill that is incapable of being marketed has annulled its essence.  Please note that the word “MARKETABLE” here doesn’t necessarily mean “To make profit from” but the contextual meaning is to “MAKE IT COUNT”. Every sane person loves perfection and will be willing to pay through their nose just to get the best.  Hence, the need to gain expertise in your skill. Most recruiters explicitly spells out the kind of skill required for the job role, and they pay close attention to it u...
