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 Any friend whose duty is always to make you feel outdated because of the kind of gadget you use or the job you do or the house you live in isn’t meant for you.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...

LIVING A PRODUCTIVE LIFE 2

I believe that the last post on this subject was really a blessing to you. Well, I would like to complete what has already been started. It has always been said that good things in life does not happen by themselves, rather they are made to happen. People make them to happen. This means that whatever good you desire to see in your life, it is in your power to make it happen.  When I was studying about this subject of being productive in life, I came across an amazing scripture that opened up an entirely new portal of understanding to me. Deut 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. After going through this scripture over and over again, it dawned on me that another important factor that would lead a man to living a productive life is DECISION-BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS IN HIS LIFE. Apart from having a vision...

SOMEONES VIP

Firstly I want to say a very big thank you to all my wonderful readers, those who sent me mails to encourage my works and all those who call. You all have been wonderful and I must say that you inspire me too.   I would love to share a story with us, it got me thinking and also changed something in my life so I know it’s worth sharing. “I had an experience recently that made me feel completely invisible. I flew to Nashville to surprise my son Josh at his college. When I arrived, I made my way with my printed reservation to the rental car clerk. I handed over the reservation, and the clerk said, “Oh, we are sorry, but we gave away your car”. What do you mean you gave away my car?” I replied, “I have a reservation!”  He informed me that it was CMA (Country Music Awards) week, and they were really busy with lots of important people coming through. They didn’t have any cars left, but I would get the next car that came in. he went on to say “you just picked a really wro...
