Discover Yourself

HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!! It is not a coincidence that the first day of the month is our relationship day for the first time this month. I am grateful for that to usher you into the Love month with this vital truth on loyalty. Permit me to say that your loyalty is not required everywhere and there are different levels of relationships starting from God, our spiritual authorities, families, your boss at work, lovers, casual n close friends to which a certain degree of loyalty is expected of you. Loyalty will cost you your relationships and friendships. Everything has a price- education,salvation,even loyalty. One of the signs of disloyalty is unhealthy friendship and relationship. Loyalty is expensive and we can see that from David and Jonathan's story in the Bible. In your relationships too loyalty may cost you physical things. It demands analysis...you have to analyze the past, analyze the individuals concerned, you analyze the forms of words you have heard and used, you analyze t...

Good morning beloved. I trust you are soaring high in life. Today I will begin a new series with us on Loyalty and disloyalty as it affects our spiritual life,business,work,academics and career. Please stay put with me and let's soar together. A dog is very loyal to its owner. Loyalty is a lesson to practice. Loyalty can be seen and felt. Straight up, a culture is simply the way we think and the way we do things. So let us quickly look at 5 keys to the loyalty culture. √ The key of the north wind. Proverbs 25:23.... The power of the backbiting tongue can be wiped away by your facial expression. Your face is the north wind. √ The key of constant pruning..John 13:27.. This key helps you to be in constant check..you are open to corrections and you are teachable. √ The key of creating fire. Acts 28:3.. The fire of time exposes the snake like nature of some people. Difficult times and hardships along bring out the true nature of people. √ The key of working with willing peop...

" For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for neccesity is laid upon me ; yes woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. (1 Corinthians 9:16)". Good morning dearly beloved. I hope your weekend was productive. Mine was too. Recently, it has been a great concern for me when I see and hear of people who waste their time and thus are not full stewards of their time. They procastinate and give excuses. They are not responsible people. So today I want to talk about the neccessity of time and how it affects our productivity not just spiritually. You cannot change yesterday but you can do something today that can change your tomorrow. It does not matter how you have been years back or how you were born..there is always something you can do to change your tomorrow..Invest in your future. I believe in your future. You were not born to be poor or a failure. The definition of adulthood is responsibility. Take responsibility for your future. Believe in what God made and...

"Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: 'I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever'. But now the Lord says: 'Far be it from Me ; for those who honor Me I will honor,and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.(1 Samuel 2:29-30)". Today I welcome you to the grand finale of our series on Disrespect featuring Interrupting, ignoring, intruding and interfering so far. It has been a wonderful training session for me and I am grateful to God for the opportunity to share these insights with you. I will talking lastly on the fifth 'I' of disrespect called insulting. Permit me to use plenty scriptural examples to address this ; in other words be patient to read till the end cos the post might be long. In 2 Timothy 3:1-3, we see words like slandering, reviling, blaspheming used referring to things that will come in the last days...and of course we are in the last days. These words being referred to are synonym...

" He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears. (Proverbs 26:17) ". Good morning dear. I am so grateful and honored having you with me today. I'm certain you have been blessed so far on this beautiful series on disrespect. Today I am going to be addressing on interfering.. The beautiful thing about all these I's are that they are all interconnected. Now from the above scripture, we know generally going to take a dog by the ears by result in a bite or so likewise sticking your nose in  someone else's business might cost you your nose one day. There are a whole lot of things in the world that are none of your business. You should be able to discern when you should be quiet and silent and also not pushy. Ever heard the words.... "Respect their privacy"? Actually interfering is the next step after you have intruded. And its not right. If you are found constantly poke nosing or prying in people's lif...

Wow wow wow...sounds interesting to be true. Oh yes I said one of the ways you can show disrespect is by intruding... I'm one of the many people that is strict on minding one's business. You know plenty a times, people love their privacy and even if they don't tell you,they honor it more when you don't have to pry in their business. And that shows you respect them and I really love it...cos I don't understand why one would be a busybody , nozy, etc...in fact that tells me off.. Now I don't really know you personally...if you want to work on that aspect of disrespect ....always ask yourself these questions ..Was I invited? Am I needed ?  Is it needed ?  Cos for example you go to a place and they are washing plates or so or serving...being the zealous person that you are, you will go to put hand...and then they tell you no they can handle it and you feel insulted....no you were not insulted you disrespected them by invading in their business. What you should ha...

FIVE I'S OF DISRESPECT: IGNORING Good morning pals...I'm sure we are doing very well today. The week is almost coming to an end and I am grateful I am spending most of my days with you. That's what life is all about...investing in lives.. You are so indispensable and special...that's why Jesus died for you and me. Ok lets fly along...today I am going to talk about something people don't consider as disrespectful and that is ignoring people. Remember when you are in a relationship be it with an acquaintance, a close friend or an intimate friend or your spouse and so when you are relating, you are not relating alone..there is another person. You cant behave as if it's only you that matters...that's been selfish...don't make things difficult for the other party that cares to know you.. Let's picture this....you are talking to someone and the person keeps staring at you speechless, emotionless...How would you feel ?  I would feel dishonored,...

Good morning darlings. Hope we are much better today. So today we will learning on a very important topic that can make or mar our relationships with whosoever. Today is Wednesday,our relationship days on this blog. So its a series topic and today I will be starting with the first I  of disrespect which is INTERRUPTING. Over the time, issues and questions surrounding what respect is all about and factors surrounding why is shown or not shown have erupted. People say respect is reciprocal but permit me to say respect is earned. In our relationships with people, when there are issues, people always say You have no respect for me? Do you know how old i am,etc? I often wondered what is it about respect and age that people make a big deal about it. Instead of looking at Respect, i decided we look at Disrespect cos most times we might not know we are disrespectful. Thank you for staying with me this far on this blog. I am much honored and pleased. God bless you some more. ...

" Do not be overcome by evil,but overcome evil with good.(Romans 12:21)". Each time I remember the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis 37-50, I am always moved to tears cos I can relate personally with it. People go through stuff. I have been through stuff as well...but God was with me through it all. Joseph's story was one of envy, hatred and maltreatment from his brothers which led them to sell him into slavery...from Joseph's side it was one of tears, forgiveness, letting go, repaying every evil with good,moving on and being a blessing at the end. I really don't know what's going on in your life at the moment. I don't know how deep you are hurting...I don't know who has hurt you...but I am more concerned of you not them or the circumstances surrounding your hurt. Lemme tell you a bit about my experiences. It happened in my early years in uni that I was hurt by so many people and I didn't let the hurt go, I was carrying the heavy load ...

" And let us not grow weary while doing good,for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.(Galatians 6:9)". Greetings beloved...Hope we are doing great. I find this message timely cos you find in the world lots of people that are giving up on lots of things even on themselves. Hey dear,dont give up. Most times we get involved in one thing or the other maybe like giving great words of advice,or inspirations like I do or you give love, money,time,friendship,gifts,healing, presence,energy,etc and in most of these cases it seems like the object to which this is been made doesn't appreciate,value  or respond appropriately. What do you do in that case? Give up and say you are not doing again? Or sometimes people don't like what you are doing or say a single word to encourage you.. What do you do? When you are misunderstood for your kind gestures ...what do you do? Dear that's not the time to sit and wail and re-examine your life if you are living right...

Grace and peace be unto you dearly beloved. Hope the weekend was awesome. Just want to welcome you to a new week full of opportunities and possibilities. Thank you so much for your unwavering commitment and support towards this great blog. Today I am going to be talking about what maturity is all about. The topic so much is of great importance to me cos I remember in my early university days...i was always puzzling around the subject. I kept asking myself if maturity was all about carrying big bags,dressing nice and wearing heavy make-ups for the ladies or buying cars,wearing expensive shoes, etc until I found out what maturity was all about. I asked myself what if  I dont carry big bags or buy a car at the moment or wear heavy make ups does that really mean I am not matured...or what if I was not in a relationship at the moment does it mean i am not a matured person ? Amazingly these are what people have wired as their mindsets regarding what maturity is all about and I tell...

Greetings beloved...I welcome you in the name of Jesus. Actually today we will having the first of its kind,A Series review. I always believe you cannot prove you have learnt anything until you can reproduce what has been given to you. So today happens to be a review for the Attitude series we had this week. I believe by the grace of God I invested a good source of understanding with regards to our attitudes in life which determines how far we fly through life. I also know if you want to know more,you give out what you already know and more will come to you. That been said, today we are going to be interacting on which of the topics on the series you liked the most and what you learnt from it and also if you have any questions or comments to share. The other reason why we are doing this is so we can be better blessings to ourselves and to others and also understand better from others. So, i officially welcome you today. Thank you for your cooperation thus far...Let's begi...

Wow wow wow.... Happy weekend darlings... This week's series has been the most exciting so far cos I know it's bringing out the best in us and thus causing us to soar higher in life. I'm grateful for your consistency this far in reading, sharing, liking and commenting. You do to me what honey is to the soul and body. So much love for you. To bring our series to an almost end... Today we will be looking at humility as an attitude we ought to possess to go far in life.. THE ATTITUDE OF HUMILITY. ".....and be clothed in humility...(1Peter5:5)". Ok the thing about this topic is that there's no end to it likewise the others.. You have to keep doing a self check to observe your attitudes. It's ironical that people sometimes are proud of how humble they are.. How does that co-relate? In simple terms Humility is endorsing for yourself God's sight or views of you and accepting it as yours. It goes beyond the outward shows of bowing down to an elder or ...

Good morning dearly beloved, we are almost coming to the end of the week... It's Thursday... Another opportunity to upgrade your attitude. Before I go on, there's no use learning more if you are not a good steward of what you have been given already.. I would encourage you to put to practice what you read and to know more, teach what you have been given and you will be amazed at how much more you know. Today we will be looking at another key attitude.. One that gives you a brightened countenance in the face of oppositions..,the Joy attitude. ATTITUDE OF JOY "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations. (James 1:2)". This is called Vitamin J. You don't need any medication or herbs to suppress the way you feel... All you need is a daily dose of  vitamin J for the rest of your life. There's no end to the intake of this spiritual capsule. Why Joy?  First of all, I will tell you do you know why you have challenges? Asides that they a...

Good morning  beloved, hope your yesterday was superb!  So today is relationship day and every time I talk about relationships I am so super excited cos I see God fashioning you, preparing you or restoring you in a whole new light in your relationships. Still on attitudes, I am going to be talking about the attitude of Honor. ATTITUDE OF HONOR When you go to the word, you have to let the word give you your belief system and not looking for proofs in the word to back up your belief system. Submit totally to the word. People hear what they want to hear irrespective what you say.  So you have to take heed how you hear. This is what brings about issues between married couples. 2Peter 3:16(Amplified). You have to yield yourself and humble yourself to change according to the word. Ephesians 5:29(Amplified) says a man nourishes and cherishes even as the Lord to the church....  You do this only when something is valuable. The devil's important lie is to say you do...

Hello everyone... Grace and peace be unto you.. I'm certain you have been blessed thus far.. Still on attitude series, today we will be looking at the Faith attitude. FAITH ATTITUDE "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews11:1)". I know most of us are so familiar with this scripture and that's good, but what is most fantastic is that you understand how it operates and apply it to life's daunting challenges so as to win in life. Yesterday we talked about love in a more practical way and I hope you have been doing the 1Corinthians 13 task. Faith and love go hand in hand. The Bible says faith works through love... So that means your faith depends on your love to work.. Now you see the need to step up your love game.. So your faith cannot work or be efficient if you are not rooted and grounded in love. Having this is mind, what is faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for... That is like taking hold of...

Okk... Hope you are doing awesome today. Good morning beloved. Yesterday we talked about the attitude of gratitude.  Hope you are more grateful than you were. Keep thanking all through... So today we are going to talk about the love attitude. ATTITUDE OF LOVE. " Love suffers long, and is kind; love doesn't envy, doesn't parade itself and is not puffed up; doesn't behave rudely; doesn't seem it's own; is not provoked; thinks no evil; doesn't rejoice in inquity,but rejoices in truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails...... (1Corinthians 13:4-8)". The way we see things or people in life matter, because we act based on our perspectives. Someone once told me to learn to see things from the perspective of others for a better understanding of them. How true? So true. Everyone can't be like you cos we have different genetic makeups, even identical twins rarely act alike. I would start by...

Good morning everyone...  So much happiness and joy in me today cos it's a New week full of great things for us... God always is in the business of doing New things and this week He will do a new thing in your life... that I am sure as long as you keep journeying with me on this flight of discovering yourself.. I would like to say a very big thank you for your commitment towards reading, liking, commenting and sharing... This blog is like a week plus and so far amazing testimonies have been pouring in and that goes to say you are feeding well and on the right diet as well. Keep doing the same as we enter this week...cos in consistency lies the power.. As you read and get blessed, be a better blessing by sharing onto others or leaving a comment using a gmail account cos you are blessed to bless. So this week we would be diving into Attitudes for winning in life. This week is going to be all about the right attitude towards our spiritual life, relationships, business and life in ...

" Wherefore my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath. (James 1:19)". What do you talk about amongst people? I have ever since come to know that people unconsciously commit these 3 sins which are evil speaking, vain speaking and foolish speaking... Evil speaking is discussing the faults and failures of people even when they are not around. I learnt a lesson in my life of not judging anybody because God sees and knows the real intent of the heart of a man.  Some people don't just think before they start talking.  At some point in my life I was scared of talking... I hated talking..  It got to a point that I was passing notes all because I didn't want to offend anyone with my words. I had communication problems because I didn't know how to harness my words to bless lives since I am a very blunt person. But thank God for Grace. I studied many materials and asked questions on communication. You are what you speak!  You ca...

"W hatever your hand findeth to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. (Ecclesiastes 9:10)". OK so yesterday I ended the post by talking a little about investments.. The best thing I hold on to and has been so effective for me in my financial intelligence is that I have to cultivate the habit of saving to invest or reinvest not just to keep in one bank or the other. Put your money to work.. Give it an  assignment. I got this understanding while listening to Pst. Sunday Adelaja last year and I'm going to share an example of a kind of financial plan you ought to have... you can always restructure from my plan. Here it is... When you earn or receive an income you should structure your financial spending/investments this way... Tithe 10% Offering 5% Ministry 5% Pay yourself 30% Then your Rent, Feeding, Transport, Gifts to people or your parents, children, friends, or spouse,etc can sh...

"  For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ,though he was rich he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. (2 Corinthians 8:9)". Yes as Christians we have entitlements in heaven and one of which is that we have been made the rich, but most of us don't walk in the reality of the truth and we struggle mostly in our finances.  Here is the reason: we lack financial intelligence. The saddest truth is that financial intelligence is not taught in schools or institutions... We go to school to get a degree that will enable us get a paid job and the desire to get more degrees increase in our quest to get richer. Have you ever wondered why the best specialist doctors or lawyers, etc are not the richest in the world?  Why is it even school drop-outs make it as one of the richest in the ladder of financial success?  Financial intelligence is the thin line that separates the rich from the poor and you should get it that's if you want to be to be ric...

Okay, so I have made it a point of duty to post at least once in a week something relating to our relationships. And here is one today...  'The lover'. Let's dive in beloved and find you..  Now I know that the word "lover " is thrown around carelessly  and often misused. Please understand me when I use the term "lover". I use it to describe the sanctity and holiness of a person in a committed marital relationship. But it means more than just being married. I use it to describe partners following God's divine plan. There are married people who are not lovers!  Being an active participant in a committed marriage is not an easy task, and many people fail at it.  Just because people have a hard time living up to the role doesn't mean that the concept of holy matrimony is faulty. God's plan is perfect. It is His creatures that are not. Oh dearly beloved, being a good lover is more than hips, lips and finger tips. It is the ability t...

" I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)". Ever wondered why when taking a walk on the stairs, one leg is ahead the other before you get to your destination? Now in life, there are also those steps to take to arrive at your destination only that these stairs are unlimited cos there is nothing like 'I have arrived' in actual sense cos we ought to keep pressing...  It doesn't matter if you are at the crawling stage of your life's journey be it in your spiritual life, career, finance, academics, relationship, etc.... what matters is that you keep taking a step further in each and every aspect of your life. The truth is there is no excuse to put out for not taking a step further looking at the picture above.. I'm sure with the emergence of the New Year, you must have written out goals touching every aspect of your life... So take a step further in those goals. For example, take ...

Jesus is the ANSWER for the WORLD TODAY. Above Him there's no other Jesus is the WAY!!!!  There will be and cannot be fulfillment in your life and the things you do if you have not invited the one who makes the way, the one who brings about fulfillment into your life. It costs God everything to send his Son because he loves and still loves the world. Listen, you might have one time given your life to Him, but maybe derailed or backslid... There's an opportunity for you to come back to Him.. He is not mad at you.. He is love.. You may find out that things are not going on well with everything around you, your business, finance, family, relationship, etc. The truth above it all is that you need Jesus. He died for your sins to be cleansed, and buried and raised to life so you may be justified... You cannot claim that your case will be different this year if you have not accepted the one who will make it different, neither can you benefit from any spiritual blessing or proph...

" See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil.(Ephesians 5:15-16)". Time is one of the most valuable resources given to us and you get what you make out of it. Time is a gift given to us by God Almighty... and as such it ought to be treasured. Just like every resource we have, you are going to be responsible and accountable for the resources given to you. In essence you are going to account for this time, and what will be in your time-account? Time they say is money... If you can equate your time spent to money received from time then you will know your value for time based on how much you make.  Just like some people don't know the value for money and think it should be spent and wasted, same way most people don't know the value for time and thus waste time and spend it on unproductive things. To make the use of your time, you have to be investment-conscious. How do you start your day? How yo...

"...for the  equipping  of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ...(Ephesians 4:12)". Some translations would say 'perfecting' in place of 'equipping' in the above scripture. Today is Sunday and I would like to encourage us all on the need to go to church.  Many people don't go to church or stopped going to church because of what someone did to them or maybe cos of the imperfections they see around in church not knowing they are the church themselves. Actually the church is a place of perfection and it is important to have a set purpose for which you go to church.  When you go to church, you don't go to see any man or to please any pastor. You go to church to see God. You go to church for the word. One time in my life I wanted to change church and a dear friend of mine asked me what exactly is my purpose of going to the church?  And I answered and said the word of God and he encouraged me to keep going. A...

" Now to Him who is able  to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that works in us"(Ephesians 3:20).  Wow, this topic happens to be one of my most treasured ones because when I started putting my mind to work I was better convinced of the above scripture. See, you can't be limited in ideas, actions, resources, strength, etc except you think so, for as a man thinketh in his heart so is he(Proverbs 23:7). Most people are complaining about the recession, the government, and playing the blame game, but all I see are a bunch of mentally lazy people. Of course, we can't question the ability of God as He said in the scripture above.. My question remains what is the essence of your mind? Do you know you can do much more than you think you can if you put your mind to work, you can be an employer of labor, you can be whoever you want to be, you can achieve whatever you dream of achieving.. Constantly ask yourself in a week ho...

" But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,a holy nation, a  peculiar person , that ye may show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light".(1Peter2:9) .   How powerful this word is. You are unique. You are beautiful. You are great. You are awesome. You are able. God delights in you.  You have what and all it takes. You are an important personality.   My dear, you cannot succeed in being like everyone. You are fashioned and packaged the way you are for a purpose:for a show. Whose show?  God's show. So you can show forth the praise(excellence,wonder,beauty) of God. God loves you just the way you are.  I have always reasoned out if everyone behaved same way how boring life would be. And secondly from my school of thought I always tell myself everyone is a doctor, a preacher, a soulwinner, an engineer, a blogger, people are in a relationship, getting married, etc but I always ask myself ...

Hello everyone... It's a great pleasure writing to everyone on this platform. HAPPY NEW YEAR. This year we shall supernaturally succeed together.
