breaking the curses of loneliness
Life is hard for anybody who has no help. Life will remain a struggle for any man without help, Life will be frustrating for any man who has no help, Life motion will be very slow for any man without help in fact life will be at a standstill when there is no help. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your help, no man can succeed in isolation, and no destiny can be successfully fulfilled without help. Every great man in Ministry had sponsors or destiny helpers, every athlete must have a coach, every politician must have a god-father, and every child should be raised by a parent. The beauty of life is in the quality of help gotten. There are men and women out there who have in surplus what you are dying to get.. Genesis 2:18 indicated the fact that God was the one who detected Adam’s loneliness and for the first time in God’s creation agenda, God said “IT IS NOT GOOD” …for a man to be alone… If you follow the process of God’s creation story, you would notice all God created was good until the issue of Loneliness surfaced. So it was not good, it is not good and it will never be good for any man to be alone in life. Loneliness Kills.
imprisoned
A prison, also known as a correctional facility, jail, gaol (dated, British and Australian English), penitentiary (American English), detention center (American English), remand center, or internment facility (commonly used term in military theatres of war/involvement), is a facility in which inmates are forcibly confined and denied a variety of freedoms under the authority of the state. Prisons are most commonly used within a criminal justice system: people charged with crimes may be imprisoned until their trial; those pleading or being found guilty of crimes at trial may be sentenced to a specified period of imprisonment. In simplest terms, a prison can also be described as a building in which people are legally held as a punishment for a crime they have committed. Prisons can also be used as a tool of political repression by authoritarian regimes. Their perceived opponents may be imprisoned for political crimes, often without trial or other legal due process; this use is illegal under most forms of international law governing fair administration of justice. However, many have their freedom physically but are still imprisoned. How could a free person live an imprisoned lifestyle? What could imprison a free person? What are the various prisons people find themselves? And is there any way out of these unseen prisons? These and many more are answers found in this book. I pray for you, as you read this book, you will have your total freedom in Jesus name. Amen
proverbs 2
Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Wisdom is different from Intelligence; Wisdom is spirit, intelligence can be acquired. Intelligence can scale you through the wall of classrooms; Wisdom is needed to see you through life. You can excel in Class, but fail in Life. This generation is known for high Intelligence but our conduct ad disposition towards God has made us to be fools. Today our generation is said to have sex with same gender, beast/animals, and the likes. Wisdom is found wanting so destruction has been the other of the Day. We think we can be wise in our ways hereby neglecting God and His words but we are most miserable in our dealings. This book is the second edition of the book of proverbs in the Bible mostly written by King Solomon; as a current carrier of the gift of Words of Wisdom I also make my contributions to the great Proverb written by the King which will also make people of recent times possess adequate Wisdom to scale through life.
rising above your foundation
I used to know a boy who had to start his life at the age of 16 after he completed secondary school as tables turned for his dad who had retired and spent his gratuity on a building and failed business. It was so glaring to him that if he would even attempt to further his education no one could be of help as there were still two of his elder siblings in higher institution with severe financial struggle to scale through. He had no choice but to look for job and he started teaching. It was just the beginning of a journey stormed with chronic stagnation, failures, delays and struggles. It took him 4 years before he could successfully gain admission into university, he would not give up at 18years, he started his first business, registered in Nigeria, at 20yrs he was admitted to university programme, at 23yrs he partnered with a Surveyor in one of the leading Estate Management company in Lagos to acquire an Acre of land for agricultural purposes. At 25yrs he started a third business which was a Music school. Made his first million at the music school at 26yrs etc; suddenly, tables turned again, all businesses went bankrupt, the family who sold the acre of land came up with a dispute which resulted in the loss of land, had to sell the cars for a fourth business venture to no avail also. At 30yrs he had lost all he ever had as a young chap. What went wrong?
the mysteries of sheol
Death is not the end of life; it is the beginning of another journey; it’s a journey to a different world. But death is a medium which passes through a pathway; such pathway is meant for the dead but as the case may be in recent times, the living is being manipulated to dwell in it. There is a place for the dead, it was made for the dead, and nothing living lives there. Life does not look as it seems, the spiritual controls the physical. Its share foolishness to think all we see is all to life. A spirit being created the world so it’s very necessary to be spiritual in our dealings on earth Our arch-enemy; the devil knows his time is short, so he manipulates lives to achieve his mission. Only the spiritually sensitive can understand his works and put an end to his operations in their lives. Every creature must have an abode, and habitat, a dwelling place; whether permanent or a community. The lion have their den, the fishes have the aquatic, the birds have their nests, and humans have the earth to live in. There is also an abode for the dead; but there are some things mysterious about such places for the dead; what is such mysterious about the abode of the dead? How does it affect the living?
god in cage
"They spoke against God and said can God supply food in the desert?" Psalms 78:19(GNW) God in Cage is an amazing book, that I believe it’s going to change the lives of all its readers. The Bible tells us that God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. He is all knowing and most powerful, but this book still tells us God can be caged. How could that be? Without a doubt, we all fall short of God's laws, flouting them and doubting Him sometimes. We imagine that, Can God do it? Is this Possible? Yes! He can do all things even that which seems impossible as the author told us. Moreover, when we start getting involved with these practices above, we begin to cage Him. The Bible tells us that our God is too holy to behold iniquities. So whenever you are surrounded with any form of sin, doubt or disobedience, you are caging Him from rendering help to you already. Jesus was a Perfect example for us all. He came as God in form of man. On the cross in Matt 27:46 Jesus Himself cried out "my God, my God why has thou forsaken me?" God didn't help Him or behold "His only begotten (loved) son why? Because we can't change God for who He is and God can't go against Himself. What am I saying? God was willing to help Him but He was caged because our sins were all upon Jesus to bear.
the lost identity
In the Disney Animated Tale, Tarzan is the name given by a troop of gorillas to a young baby when it is found by Kala, a gorilla mother who lost her baby to a leopard. Tarzan and his parents were marooned on the island jungle, and his parents too were killed by the leopard. Kala adopts Tarzan as her own much to the dislike of her mate Kerchak, the leader of the clan. As Tarzan grows older, he becomes ape-like and agile, but the troop still doesn't recognize him as one of them. Our lives most times replicate this animation in reality; we are like that person who forgets how he looks after he had just watched himself in the mirror. I used to know a former Adam who named all animals in the water, air, under the ground, on earth etc but today the seed of such Adam now runs in fear of the animals that was once named by them. Men were created to Dominate and rule all things made, not to be dominated and ruled by all things made but the difference has been the case today; Insects like Cockroach now scares even some, sickness has kept a Man who was created as gods in bondage; The son of a king now treks while the servant rides on horses. Something went wrong. This book will enlighten you to what went wrong, how it was corrected and what to do restore who you were meant to be.
all things have ears
He called things that were not as though they were, and they responded to his call as though they existed before. A Raven bird by research was said to be stingy to the extent that they don’t feed their offspring, yet A Raven bird was commanded to feed Prophet Elijah throughout the famine. How did the raven identify Elijah, was he the only Prophet alive at that time? Yet it didn’t miss its way. Who described to the frogs, gnats, locust, flies etc where to attack in the whole of Egypt? Why did they attack only the Egyptians and not the Children of Israel in Goshen? What amazes me was that they ceased after Moses would have ordered them to cease. It just showed that it was a deliberate command and they listened and obeyed. Science taught us that there are two kinds of things on earth; Living things and Non-living things, they gave us their attributes and differences, as much as they are very correct I discovered in my research that there exist only living things in the sight of God. A close look into how God addressed the so called “Non-Living” things and they responded, you would agree with me that all things are living, and when it comes to God, all things responds as living.
ninu ikoko dudu
”Ninu Ikoko dudu, ni eko funfun ti jade” In this part of Africa; In the western part of Nigeria, the Yoruba tribe has that as an adage; which simply means “Out of the black pot comes a particular type of food called ‘Eko’ which is white in nature. A black pot produced a white food. So is life for many of us; examining how tough my life has been. I felt the pressure to read through the stories of top, successful and great men and women in the society as of now, I discovered there is a story behind every glory, shame before fame, a scar before stardom, darkness before light, pressure before pleasure, pains before gains, poverty before prosperity etc. Life has never been a bed of rose for majority of people, it could be concluded that it’s not a balanced world; In this part of the world, there is an adage which says “Fingers are not equal” some are born with diamond spoons, some with Golden spoons, others with silver spoon, some with bronze spoon while some with no spoon at all…. Are you passing the wiles of the devil, great storm of life, addictions, loss of a loved one of recent? Are you wondering if your life could really turn out to be successful at all in your life time? This inspirational book will motivate you to stand strong and not give up yet; there is still light at the end of the tunnel even though you don't see it yet. God bless you
my failure story at 30
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently Henry Ford said; ''Success is not final, failure is not fatal; It is the courage to continue that counts.'' Churchill Winston said; "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure". Colin Powell also said; "Success has many friends, failure has none." In this planet earth, the successful only exist; I mean no matter how many people live here, the fulfillment of life, fame, respect, recognition of people only belongs to the successful. No one wants to be a failure; everyone wants to be successful in their respective careers and endeavors.
the mystery behind dancing
Psalm 149:3 Let them praise his name with DANCING, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! Dancing is an expression of joy, No one can dance in sorrow, you can only dance away your sorrow. Whenever pain occurs, tears or crying will be the next action for expressing such pain. Dancing is an expression of gratitude, an art of worship to a deity. The idol worshipers dance to their idols to offer worship, we Christians also worship our God through our dancing; “let them praise His name with DANCING. However, I have come to realize that we grew up to dance at the slight sound of a beat, but I have never for once sat down to ponder on the motives of dancing nor read any book about dancing or its effects, its spiritual implications, or whether there exist a motive for our dancing or not and especially as children of God; are there some things attached to our dancing, does God have an expectation for our dancing or not?
recce
In military operations, reconnaissance or scouting is the exploration outside an area occupied by friendly forces to gain information about natural features and other activities in the area. It can also be called Recce. No intelligent king or General in the army launches an attack against an opponent without proper investigation of the enemy. This information gathered of the enemy will serve as basic foundation or pre-knowledge of where and how to attack. God ordered Moses to send out spies against the enemy so that they can have proper view of the enemy zone. How much of your enemy’s bio-data do you know as a believer? Do you even know you have an enemy?
