SHOW ME YOUR FRIEND!

My dear readers, i believe you all have started the weekend in a grand style. Me too! It will interest you to know that among several other things, the people you associate with can greatly determine the extent to which you go in life. The persons you call friends can greatly determine your take in life. I know you must have heard “ show me your friends and I will tell you who you are”. This is past now, I would rather choose to say, “show me your friends and I will tell you where you are going to in life”. A minister of the gospel here in Nigeria once said, who you follow determines what follows you and the company you keep determines what accompanies you in life.
No man traveling to Lagos would board a bus with as friend going to Abuja, because both of them are headed to different directions. Friends! If you have greatness in view, then you must separate from any one who isn’t headed to the same direction with you.  Don’t wait until you drown before you know that Jonah does not have a place in your life. A single Jonah in your life can drown you on your journey to greatness.
A lot of couples have lost their marriage because of the kind of friends they keep. As a spinster, you don’t need those kinds of friends who will tell you to leave your partner because he doesn’t buy you the latest shoes and designer handbags. This kind of friend will make you begin to mount pressure on your man, thereby causing problems in your relationship. Any friend whose duty is always to make you feel outdated because of the kind of gadget you use or the job you do or the house you live in isn’t meant for you. As a young man, you don’t need friends who will take you to a place in other to be made rich within 24 hours after certain sacrifice. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. If you have the right people in your life, the right things will come to your life too. Let me show you something wonderful;

“After Joseph was made the ruler over the house, the lord blessed the house and everything that Potiphar owned. The lord also blessed everything that grew in potiphar’s field. The lord did this because of Joseph.” Genesis 39; 5

The Bible declared that Potiphar’s house was blessed because of the presence of Joseph. Not because Potiphar fast and pray like a lot of us do today, but because of his association with a carrier of covenant. A friend in your life can determine how blessed you become. What you need in your life is your own Joseph.  Young people! You don’t need the “ THANK GOD IS FRIDAY” kind of friend. Shine your eyes else……………………..
While you journey to greatness, pray for your own Joseph and at the same time, be sensitive because he might just be that person you despise a lot in your heart…

Think on this… I will write to you soon… Have a wonderful weekend!

Hold On...

Our experiences in life changes just like the weather conditions. At different times we are faced with either pleasurable or harrowing conditions. Sometimes we experience heat-warming success, at other times we experience heart-rending  failures. Sometimes there is much joy and laughter, at other times there is much sorrow and sighing. Sometimes we bubble with life and health, other times we are over taken by sickness. Sometimes we enjoy prosperity with plenty, other times we endure lack and hunger. A lot of persons change with their changing circumstances. When the going gets good, they are elated and highly spirited, but when they get hit by an ugly circumstance, everything goes down completely. They lose the glee and gladness they once had when everything was favorable to them.  Most Christians do same. They love and obey God, go to church and do all manner of religious activities when things are all rosy, when there are no challenges, and turn against Him when thin...

LETTER TO MY TEENAGE BOY AND GIRL 2

My dear, I believe that you enjoyed the last letter I wrote to you and you have also seen how important that letter is to your future. Well, just like I told you the last time I wrote to you, I am here to complete what I started. Among many other things, I would love to remind you that you should not be confused when you see your opposite sex, behaving in differently in a relationship. Lack of understanding of the difference between a girl and a boy, makes a lot of your friends endanger their lives.  You should be able to know what the guy wants from you and you the guy should know what the girl wants from you. God created you all differently and reasons for doing this is best known to him. But I believe that God love variety and as such decided to create us all differently instead of a robot. Lifestyle is another practical reason why a lot of your friends fall in love today and fall out tomorrow. Please I would love you to learn early that you can do things that will a...

YOU ARE NOT A JUNK

Myles Munroe my favorite author once shared a wonderful thought in one of his work that holds a great deal of life lesson. He said, “A sculptor works in a very interesting way, and it would be great foolishness to argue with an artist until he is finished. He said; don’t discuss anything with a painter or a sculptor until his work is completed. An artist can be very rude if you disturb him before he has accomplished what he intends to do, because he sees differently that those who are not artists. An artist can walk by the stone in your front yard and see a figure in it. He may stop by your house and beg you for a stone you have walked past many times without noticing. The dogs may have been doing stuff on it. You may even have been planning to get rid of it because it’s a nuisance. But the artist walks into your yard and sees something beautiful in that stone beyond what you can imagine. Two months later when the artist invites you to his workshop he says, “do you see that? D...
