KNOWLEDGE PUFFS UP!!

Image
Good morning family....I really dont want to be a March born but all my March friends rock and are all great....So we all have to celebrate with me the most consistent liker,sharer,commenter on this blog...my personal person Dr Toluwanimi Ariba....Omo yoruba ni....and its her birthday today...You are greatly loved and I celebrate you duely. Alright....so back to base...today I will be talking about Knowledge puffing up...I have been in the midst of this occurences so much so that people that know me can tell of my countenance each time. I really dont like to stay around people that boast alot about what they know either through what they learnt or heard and not like I dont like them...its just that I really cant learn from them as much as I want to. The Bible also points that out clearly. A lot of people really wanna show they know...I really dont know how it makes them feel....However our standard of living remains the Holy Bible. 1 Corinthians 8:1 says Knowledge puffs up,but ...

PATIENCE

Image
Good morning beautiful people everywhere. I have been patiently waiting for this day and it's Thursday...Shout out to my friend..one of my consistent encouragements on this blog Dr Mary Afolayan. Its her Birthday today and I wish you all the goodies of life this year. Yeah that being said, alot of people like things done very fast and quick. I wouldn't forget one of the advice my dad gave me in my Year One in med school,knowing my passion for God n dreams,he said don't be ahead of God. I really value my dad and listen well enough to obey him as God's spiritual cover over me. So now that's the reality of life; most people are steps steps ahead of God that they are so far to even hear a call to come back. In Igbo land...they say it's with patience you lick a hot soup you know why cos if you lick it fast it's gonna disfigure your tongue....Look at the scenarios at banks, roads,in markets,etc even in families and relationships...nobody is patient enough to l...

LIES

Image
Good morning family. I believe you are doing well... I wanna start with a little story I witnessed. There was a certain time I went to a market and I was looking for a particular customer of mine. It seemed I had lost the way to his shop... So I met a lady by my side and asked Please MA do you know Mr A... She was like Ahhh that I am at the right place and she works for him.. Meanwhile I had put a call across the customer telling him I was at the place. So cos time was going, I gave the lady money to help me purchase some company books... So she left.. And while she left behold my customer came and was like this place I am at is not his shop and he doesn't know the lady either. So I was already pissed cos I hate lies to my bones. I told him calm down that I'm going to do something. So the lady returned and I acted as though nothing happened. She didn't find all I requested for. So I wittingly asked her if she knew the man standing here with me... She said no... I said OK ...

ENJOY THE PROCESS!!

Image
Good day dearly beloved. I trust you are perfect in health, and also everything is going on well with you... I am doing so great as well...,grateful for life in itself and for the opportunity to write today. Starting up,I want to talk about something I long was inspired to write on... which is on Enjoying the process.. Life is in stages and each stage has processes before which you can pass onto the next stage. Truth is nobody enjoys stress n struggle... We all want it easy, fast and smooth... But that's not how it's being made originally. To start with God is a God of process. He didn't just create man immediately... There was a process.. before getting to the creation of Man. Same way too, in your life there is a process... due process you ought to follow for the realization of that kind of future you need.. Process of waiting could also be called preparatory seasons... Just like you cannot be a graduate on the first day of admission.. There are processes which even ...

PLAY ABOUT, WASTE PLENTY TIME, REGRET LATER!!

Image
Good morning dearly beloved. Trust your weekend was all fun fun fun as it was Mother's Sunday... Mothers are very dear to our hearts... We love them always all the same. So today is a call to responsibility.... hence the topic which sounds a lil bit harsh... "Play about, waste plenty time, regret later". A lot of people always think there is always time... So they procrastinate on major matters that influence on their future but play about on trivial issues... Some say Abeg let's have fun, let's party, let's cruise town,  n bla bla bla.. I really don't have a problem with that so I'm not going to judge anyone... So the thing is whatever decision you make there are consequences attached to it whether good or bad.... So if you know at the end of the day, no matter how long it will take, what you sow is what you will reap... So... what ever you do think of the future... Think of at the end of the day what happens..... Time waits for no one.. So...

APPRECIATE YOUR PARENTS!!

Image
Good morning dear and a Happy Mothering Sunday to all the mothers out there n potential mothers yet without kids both spiritually and physically. It is my prayer this day for you all that God will grant you the grace,strength,wisdom,ability to train your children in the right way that they won't depart from it.. And also that you will live long enough to reap the fruits of every labor for every seed sown. Youth these days most times think they know better than their elders of parents.. with the invent of social media n all of that... Please n please there are those who have lived this life n it will cost you less to bow down that ego of yours n listen to them, take corrections, and adapt n be flexible... I don't joke with parenting.. It is one of the greatest n hardest(without the help of the Spirit of God) investments you can ever be involved with cos it involves destinies of lives. And so please find a way to say thank you or really do something nice for your parents....

KNOW PEOPLE FOR YOURSELF!!!!

Image
Good evening excellent and wonderful friends...... It's been a busy Saturday... Today I will be dealing with a misconception.... Often time people relate with people based on preconceived ideas based on what they have heard or seen...without going close enough to that individual to understand the person with a clear heart to really understand not coming around to pick more negative things to add to what they already know whether true or false. Personally in uni days I really heard so many nasty rumours about myself... Really I didn't bother about defending myself and I just concluded that these people barely know me and still don't know me and won't know me except they come close enough to know. So that's same way with other people I believe not just me... Really what's the use in hearing or seeing something you haven't confirmed from the direct source and then you become a carrier of some kinda gossip... which continues to spread... And mostly likely pre...

LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS!!!

Image
Good morning everyone... You are such a wonderful blessing going somewhere to happen.... Love u love u love u so much the more.... I celebrate the grace in your life... And I trust God you will live out to the fullest potential of all He has created you for.. With that being said "please..... I should it this way plzzzzzz... Ejo Biko... Pajelusta... S'il vous plait.... I wanna say something on living within your means and knowing there is a future to prepare for. When you have money now now... What comes to your mind - shopping, food, Mc D, make up, travel, gamble, books, investments, etc? If you are not truthful to yourself about basic things like this, then you will be going through the world in circles... Are you in control of money or does it decide for you? Living within your means is one of the best ways to have a good balance financially. When some people get money they jump up in excitement like their world revolves in money. I doubt they know some basic thing...

SMILE LENGTHENS YOUR DAYS

Image
Good morning beautiful people... Yep we are getting better each day... Thank you so much for all you do to get this blog post to someone next door. God sees you most and will reward you accordingly.... Hmmm lol everyday I'm happy... Smiling... Calm, cool and collected cos that's the kind of life I chose myself having been to the other side of life as well... Honestly speaking most of if not all I blog about are things or situations I have encountered and by the help of the Spirit I have been able to come out really strong and that's why I make my blog posts really real and very practical... something every body could relate with and fit into...not for my praise anyway... And so is the case with today's post... Mehn for as long as i know... From 3yrs in uni back to my young age as a teenager or even primary school... I never for once smiled or laughed about any single thing... If I can get pictures of me then and now.. I believe this message will be effectively passe...

TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS

Image
......cos it's Wednesday and it's our Relationship day on this blog... It's a very touching day for me cos most of these domestic violence we are talking about or afraid to experience can be avoided if early enough we can identify and exclude ourselves from toxic relationships. Before you think or consider what people will think or say if you try to quit or stay in the relationship think of yourself-your health, your emotions, your future and decide if you finally want to settle with that... Cos it's really nobody's business except yours!! So let's get to it... Toxic refers to anything harmful and which can even kill you... Same way some relationships or individuals are not worthy of you..they literally can hamper or even kill you. Know that you are too good for certain individuals..God is so loving that He tries to try to get you out of a connection with fools. You know a tree by its Fruits right? Fruits are the visible manifestation of who you are. Really to...

THE END OF THE MATTER!!

Image
"The end of a matter is better than its beginning; and patience better than pride. (Ecclesiates 7:8 Niv)". Good morning dear. It's always an esteemed privilege writing this morning. I always celebrate the opportunities to write whenever I get to. Hmmm something cooked inside of me this morning and I asked why till I got a perfect answer from the word of course which should always be our number one resort center. Why are you quick to write yourself off or others? Why do you condemn yourself cos of things you've been through perhaps? Why do you consider yourself incapable or a failure or doomed for life? Why don't you see any good in life, no hope, no value, no encouragements whatsoever? Why do you live empty n wasted? Yep these things cooked up in me... And I prepared a special dish,a very palatable one....named the End of the matter. Now listen real good.... The end of the matter is you are beautiful, you are the best, you are a shining success, you are ...

SELF-ISHNESS!!

Image
Good afternoon beautiful people... Yeeppp it's a wonderful Sunday where we always get stirred up for the week ahead. I hope you fellowshipped with the brethren today in your respective churches. Most of us assumedly are Christians on a general note with the love nature of God inherently deposited in us. I'm always marvelled at the height of SELF-ISHNESS expressed amongst believers. Even when asked,many believers say they are not selfish and are lovers of God and I wonder if my understanding of SELF-ISHNESS is different from what they understand. Self-ishness in my understanding is projecting or putting yourself or considering yourself first before other people. Most people might see it differently and say they are not selfish,but lemme bring to light areas where I see people being selfish. Before I go on, as you can see i divided the word SELF-ISHNESS into two...the first being Self and that's where my emphasis is on. As a Christian to start with, you are dead to ...

ADDICTIONS

Image
Heyyy guys... It's been a beautiful Saturday... Happy weekend to you guys and Good evening... I'm certain you have been so productive with your day even if it was only rest you did today... That being said... A little concern for me really 😔  is on the subject matter Addictions.. of which most of us have varying views on... There are the positive and negative sides of it anyway.. Addiction is a condition that results when a person ingests a substance eg alcohol, cocaine or nicotine or indulges in an activity eg gambling,sex, sleeping even,shopping etc that maybe pleasurable  but the continuation of which becomes compulsive and interferes with normal original concerns... That's what the dictionary defines as addiction. Hmmm... Dearies I just wonder sometimes if we don't love ourselves... How can you indulge in something continuously and get addicted to it yet it harms you... I understand most times that when one is addicted to something most especially negati...

YOUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT

Image
Hmmm okk... Good morning everyone.. Yeahhh today I'm so refreshed,after  taking out time to rest after the blog post... As you know you have to practice what you preach not just for people but for yourself.... either ways people are no 'mugus' if I have to use that word. 😊😊😊Darlings I have got a news flash for you... And the news headlines read: Your future is bright!!!! Yippee that should get you excited even if you don't know how.... Okk so today's post is about how bright your future can be... I will be using different illustrations to help you get. To start with what illuminates a place or a person?  It is light! Correct.  What would make your future bright is still light not husband or your work or anything else. You know it's one thing to hold on to a product and another thing to hold on to the maker of that product Cos by holding just the product... That product might finish and you as well might finish Cos you weren't holding the main stuff......

REST

Image
Good evening dearies... Hope your day has not just been busy but productive... Mine has been fruitful yet busy. So that's why I'm writing now.... We come from a continent which believes in hard work to be struggling till you get things done, and we all know that as humans we are no machine or robot hence the need to rest to effectively achieve all we set out to do maximally and excellently. Sequel to this, I will be talking about the topic Rest... And you know this rest influences our emotions, physical, spiritual and relationship outputs if we must be result oriented in these areas of life. Having mentioned that we are no machines, you have to also know that overworking or over stressing your life is not advisable when it comes to achieving your purpose on earth cos your body gives you the license to achieve all you want to achieve on earth and it must be healthy. One of the benefits you gain when you rest is you will be able to think through a problem or the solutio...

COMPARISONS

Image
Good afternoon beloved.... It's been a beautiful afternoon... A beautiful Wednesday and as we all know, it's our Relationship day... And today is so exciting... Ok let's get at it.... I have ever wondered why people make certain comparisons that hampers their relationships. Comparison kills... Comparison doesn't give you that breathing space to be yourself and celebrate your uniqueness and be all you plan to achieve. Like I keep saying, men are in sizes... Relationships are peculiar... What works for one might not work for others and so it would be very dangerous to have same expectations in your relationships as it is with another... So dearest, the best way is to understand the uniqueness of your relationships...appreciate the uniqueness of it... Build it, value it and feed it to grow and blossom than to remind your friend to do things originally that he or she is not cut out for. Discover the beauty in your friends or relationships and be content with that....

FEAR....

Image
" For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, of power, and of a sound mind.(2Timothy 1:7)".  Good morning dear... Hope your weekend was beautiful. Mine was beautiful... I was so involved in the wedding preparations of my spiritual mum hence the reason I couldn't blog much last week. Today I would be talking about something dear to my heart... something I have observed that has caged the life of most people and that is FEAR. Most people are afraid of many things like the future, death, failure, pain, lack, water, height, unknown, commitment etc.. And I wonder why... Though while growing up personally I was afraid of what the future held for me but not any longer. Fear is the opposite of faith and how does faith come? Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God so also fear comes through words... But this time not the word of God. Fear comes through words maybe certain informations we expose ourselves to likeTv news, experiences of others, th...

NO FUEL NO DRIVE!!

Image
Hello dear... We are bouncing back on the blog. Honestly I was cut up with lots of things to do that occupied my time for days now but I have been boiling with passion for so many things I wanted to write about. One of which is No fuel, no drive! It's so exciting when you move around,going about your daily duties and an idea from God just drops. That was my experience this week that led to this post. Yesterday, I was in a public transport we know as keke in Nigeria when suddenly the vehicle started shaking... I asked the driver it seems your fuel tank is low and that was how I was ministered to right there. Sweet heart hmm how can I say this? You know there are good and bad fuels that can affect how well you drive your car. Amazingly, you have a life that has been given to you as an investment to drive and what would guarantee your speed through this life in its different aspects like the physical, financial, social, marital aspects depends solely on what fuels you.... Lem...

WISDOM PT 2

Image
Good day beloved...Happy new week... I want to believe your Sunday was productive. I want to greet and salute you all for your support and encouragement last week on my blog... It was one of ease, and less stressful though challenging but we are still at it, coming out better, stronger and more fulfilled. Cheers to you. So today we will continue our wisdom series, one I find needful at such times as this. We talked last about the four kinds of wisdom according to the book of James.. Let me add that common sense would only but give you common results and divine wisdom supersedes all other kinds of wisdom...looking at the story of the adulterous woman in John 8:6-9..... By common sense she was supposed to be stoned but by divine wisdom Jesus made those accusers to drop their stones and flee. Today we will be concentrating on divine wisdom; looking at its virtues, channels of divine wisdom, and what to do to sustain access to divine wisdom. Starting out, divine wisdom is the divi...

WISDOM

Image
Good morning beloved... Trust you are doing wonderful. Happy weekend to you today.. This week has been one of joy, insight, beauty, glory,excellence and what-a-view. Today we will be talking about wisdom.  What is wisdom? Wisdom is God's given ability to perceive the true nature of a thing and implement the will of God in order to get the desired result... It is the ability to act on what you know. My best definition is knowing what to do and doing it at the right time. Finally, it is applying the knowledge of the word of God in life's situations. A man of wisdom knows what to do per time. Foolishness means you don't know the how to solve your situation. According to James 3:15-17,there are four kinds of wisdom..; 1.Earthly wisdom 2.Intellectual wisdom 3.Diabolic wisdom 4.Divine wisdom Earthly wisdom is the natural wisdom, the ability to reason and make sound judgement. It is simply the use of your common sense. It is accessible to all human beings. Intelle...

COMFORT

Image
"... .And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied. (Acts 9:31)". Hallelujah! Greetings beloved.... Grace and peace be multiplied unto you today. There's a joy, a rest, an ease, a comfort you can never experience until you come up hither in Christ. Just coming into the family of God assures you of that rest. Sometimes it's so good and therapeutical to just laugh... Just laugh... Cos laughter the Bible says doeth good like medicine. There's a great joy in my spirit this morning that I can't explain... Joy joy joy joy... Rivers of joy!! Today I never wanted to talk about this topic;  Comfort but somehow someway I was led to talk about it... I have never talked about this topic before... But God is faithful. Comfort means from the dictionary a state of physical or psychological ease or freedom from pain or constraint. It is not something far-fetched, cos there is the comfort of the Spirit of God for us and I ...

PRE- MARITAL SEX

Image
Good morning beautiful people. Wow. Wednesday is so blessed. Wow, the first day of the month of March is on a Wednesday. Today is my brother's birthday and I celebrate him honorably. Most importantly for me is today is Relationship day... Yeahhhh... How cool!! I get excited for Wednesdays all the time cos Mehn this thing called relationship is one part of our lives that requires care n guidance. With much being said, let's get started on today's post: Pre-marital Sex. Hehehehee how do I start this topic. Ok lemme start with this. Pre-marital sex in simple definition is when two people in a relationship whatsoever tend to engage in sex... (usually excluded for when you are married) before marriage. Sex involves more than simply sleeping side by side on a bed with an opposite gender. To be frank and open, it involves penetration of both genital organs of the opposite genders and at first,it involves shedding of blood... It is a covenant stuff if I must put it that way... C...
