March! March On! March Forward!
MAINTAIN!
AGGRESSIVE!
REACH!
CLAIM NEW!
HEIGHTS!
The month of MARCH is the month to march on! March forward!
March on with all your dreams and aspirations!
March on and conquer new frontiers in life!
March forward to your highest and biggest potential!
March forward and reach the skies!
We have set new goals to achieve in this new year and we must resolve that regardless of the troubles, pains, challenges, difficulties we have faced, are facing and will face we must never give up, cave in, retreat or surrender to the situation or circumstance.
Life requires:-
1. Great faith and trust in God.
2. Great belief and confidence in our competence.
3. Great drive and determination.
4. Great passion in our vision and mission.
5. Great ability to network, and keep relationships alive.
6. Great enthusiasm.
7. Great zeal and zest.
Life is not for the weak, double minded and the confused.
You must be strong, composed, courageous and bold.
You must like the lion, roar.
You must like the eagle, soar.
You must like the horse, ride.
You must like the fish, swim.
There is a reason why you were created.
There is a reason why you made it into a new year and a new decade.
There is a reason why you are special and gifted like you are.
There is a reason why you are peculiar.
You are the only one with your particular looks and I.Q!
You must discover that reason, you must find that purpose, you must live that particular life destined for you by God alone which defines the essence of who you are!
You must never retire concerning your goals and aspirations.
You must never surrender your hopes and faith because of difficult situations.
You must never retreat with regard to your plans and your strategies
You must never quit at your sights, focus and determination.
It’s time to RE-GROUP!
It’s time to RE-STRATEGIZE!
It’s time to RE-FIRE!
It’s time to RE-CONFIGURE!
It’s time to RELEASE!
There are new heights to claim, new frontiers to conquer and new dreams to birth in to reality.
To succeed in this new decade you need to do an entire overhaul.
As they say only a mad man keeps doing the same things and yet expects a new result.
So spend time reworking the methods, and the strategies for achieving success and realize that at the end of the day it’s LEGACY that matters and not just making money.
Making tons of money is great but spending the money for the greater good is the best decisions that we can make.
Give life a push, apart from praying, hoping and believing there is also a need to “TAKE ACTION” and do something you have never done before!
Like MTN says “DO SOMETHING”! I too must do! And quickly too!

RE: My February Funeral- Lessons i learnt.
MY FEBRUARY FUNERAL- INSPIRED BY OMOBOLANLE OLUBUNMI’S FUNERAL
The futility of my mortality is the mortality of my futility -INSPIRED BY A FUNERAL.
The futility of my mortality is the mortality of my futility!
I am at a funeral? She was forty three years old. Yes merely four decades and three.
Did she live her best life?
Did she complete her race?
Did she finish her course and her cause?
Did she live happy memories behind?
Did she affect the lives of people around her?
Did she accomplish God’s purpose for her life?
Me attend funeral at the beginning of the New Year and decade? It is not my thing!
I particularly have never liked deaths, funerals and the likes.
Why must people die? Why must we experience pain, sorrow and the likes?
Why must young people die and their vibrant lives be suddenly cut short and cut down?
I understand the pain of grief and the grief of pain.
I never can understand why a young, beautiful, purposeful and intelligent woman, sister, wife, mother, career minded and successful woman like the one I have come to pay my last respect to today will suddenly slump to the cold hands of death. As if death understood all my fancy words of eulogy and accolades. Life they say happens at least that is what they say.
I am naturally pained and devastated by the loss but trust me it was a great and wonderfully learning ground for me to learn these lessons which I feel obligated to share with you my friend.

I never can understand why a young, beautiful, purposeful and intelligent woman, sister, wife, career minded and successful woman like the one I have come to pay my last respect to today will suddenly slump to the cold hands of death.
I am naturally pained and devastated by the loss but trust me it was a great and wonderfully learning ground for me to learn these lessons which I feel obligated to share with you my brother, sister and friend.
1. Live a focused, purposeful, planned life.
2. Live everyday as if it was your last planning for the worst and hoping for the best. Do not procrastinate, do not hesitate, do not merely congregate! It is time to appreciate and deliberate with the view to inculcate all that you know and have learned with the determination to demonstrate your true worth and value on the world’s stage.
3. Live a life of loving, giving, sharing, hoping, believing, forgiving and investing.
4. Live a life of FAITH and never fear, confront your fears head on! Never surrendering, quitting or cowering.
5. Live courageously and boldly, do the very things you think you cannot do and realize that you only have only one life and in life there is no dress rehearsal so, go out there and make things happen rather than watch and applaud others who have the guts to do the impossible.
6. Live an affective and passionate life. Why be dull, boring and totally unexciting?
7. Live a life of helping others along the way, no matter how small you think your contribution is, find a cause and leave your mark on the sands of time. The lives you affect are the ones who will eventually attend your funeral when you bow to life’s tolls.
8. Live Powerfully. Let your little light shine for all to see. Only the strong survive, only the strong arrive, so do not be afraid to live your dreams and live your best life NOW! That hidden dream, that hidden passion, that hidden desire, are you planning on leaving this side of the divide still pregnant with them when you can ensure that you die empty, like Dr. Myles Munroe my mentor would say, he is my mentor but he does not yet know! Only you know your highest potential, only you know exactly how far you can soar and how far you can achieve, so you must ensure that you become all that you were born to be and achieve all that you were born to achieve. Remember you are unique! Remember you are special and peculiar! Remember you are specially gifted and endowed, let humanity see a glimpse of your greatness.
9. Live by giving life all of your best shot. Do not accept Nos! Do not see limitations! Do not back off, back down or allow limitations! Do not allow life to give you its second hand bless me downs when you can create and participate in your own special field and excel in life. If you are in a relationship that is headed nowhere by all means get off! If it is a marriage situation then I will advise work it out and pray it through! If you are working in a dead beat boring killer job that makes you sorrowful and sad then it’s time to go after your dream, that job that makes you happy that you can do without getting paid and still feel at your best and happiest!
10. Live happily, seriously, playfully, in a balanced and great fashion. Live today for today, do keep postponing your happy and glad days till tomorrow, truth is tomorrow never comes all we have is in the now and by the time we get to tomorrow again it becomes today! So all you postponers of joy, gladness and happiness do not be fooled, do all the good you can do whilst it is still called today and let all your joy and gladness flow freely and enjoy the day while it is still called day! Let nothing stand against you and your happiness, you deserve to be happy so fight every enemy that wants to stand against you and your joy. Live happily you only have just one life, why be sad, pessimistic and grumpy when you can be happy, excited and full of joy. Let some humor in and never take yourself too seriously.
11. Live simply and humbly. When evil men die men rejoice and when good men die the people wail and wail because an angel has left the earth. Remember mother Theresa, great men are ordinary men who do extraordinary things, look at the life of Nelson Mandela, or the great and legendary Dr. King who fought for justice and equality in America. To become great you must be humble and impart and impact humanity. Self centered, and egoistic people who arrogate power and wealth to themselves are always remembered in bad light if remembered at all. Who wants to be a HITLER or an ABACHA of Nigeria. Somehow deaths always have a tale to tell of the lives we lived, every hidden thing will be revealed, so adopt a simple, uncomplicated life that is accessible and humbling. Our Reverend man of God, the great but humble General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God speaks poetically of how you can both be humble and yet great.
12. Live with eternity in mind. There is life after this life and do not for once imagine that we will not at the end give account of all our doings on this side of the divide. Do not join the group of skeptics that believes all that matters is here and now and after death it is sleep eternally. I believe that at the end there will be judgment, and God our maker will require that we all give accounts of what we have done in these bodies, so live knowing fully well that one day we will give accounts whether for good or for evil.
Finally I have written many pieces in my time, but in my mind and heart, the import and power of what I learnt on the day of OMOBOLANLE OLUBUNMI’s burial will stand for me one of the greatest learning days and so one of my biggest pieces. Every time I write, I want lives to be transformed, changed and made better, my prayer is that my February Funeral piece will resonate in your heart and mind and cause you to live a life that is great yet humble, exciting yet simple, passionate yet purposeful. It is POSSIBLE!
If these words touched you positively then you have my permission to pass this piece to friends, family and colleagues.
Best Wishes.

RE: LOVE 2010 EDITION!
LOVE 2010 EDITION!
Love! Love!! Love!!!
Love is in the air!
Love for God and humanity.
What is love you might ask?
God says He is LOVE!
Loving, caring and sharing all spring from one source! GOD!
Are you a beneficiary of God’s love?
Are you a candidate of his love, grace and mercies?
Do you have a vacuum that only love can fill?
Are you in love today or you’d rather wait for tomorrow before loving?
Are you a lover or a fighter?
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love does not behave itself unseemly
Love does not seek its own.
Love is not easily provoked.
Love thinks no evil.
Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things.
Love believes all things.
Love hopes all things.
Love endures all things.
Love never fails.
Is this how you love or to you love is just a feeling that you feel when you feel the feeling that you feel?
Is your love just for convenience or real and true love described above?
Next time you tell someone “I LOVE YOU”! realize the import and importance of what you are saying?
When you say to your lover “I LOVE YOU”! you are saying “I will be there with you till the end, regardless of the trouble, trial or temptation.
You are saying I will never fail you and I will always be for you and with you. This is the seriousness and power of love!
You are saying regardless of your circumstance and situation or condition I will never fail you!
Love and loving is a great thing.
Love is life and life is love, because God is love.
Love causes a man’s face to glow and a man’s heart to skip a bit!
Love transforms.
Loving, caring and sharing are housemates like big brother, they all live together and will always be together.
You cannot claim to love if you do not care or share of your affections and true devotions.
Why do you love?
When do you love?
Who do you love?
How do you love?
Love is a decision not just a feeling. You choose to love, the same way you choose to hate.
Love is not a fleeting feeling in the flesh that is both carnal and careless?
Love is the golden commandment.
We must love ourselves first to be able to love others.
We are to love God.
We are to love our neighbors as ourselves.
When next you say I love you, realize that you are saying “I GOD YOU” because GOD is love.
I know there are different kinds of love!
The love of a friend, the love of true lovers and the love of family members, but the greatest and highest form of love is the love of God, which is the “AGAPE LOVE”!
May we all find true love in all facets and in every dimension!
Love releases favour in our path!
Love heals!
Love is powerful, wonderful and colourful!
Do you know the colour of love?
To me love is the colour of the rainbow, radiant, shinning and brilliant.
May you never lack love from family, friends, colleagues and well wishers.
Keep loving!
keep caring!
keep sharing!
Love is just a breath away!
Love is a thought away!
Love is a care away!
God’s love for us his children is everlasting, dependable and complete.
Remember to show love 365 days of the year and not just on valentine day.
Also remember to reach out to the less privileged, the homeless, the jobless, the widows amongst us and the blind, the lame and the hopeless, be creative about your love and leave in peoples hearts and show a bit of God, leave a wonderful feeling in the lives of those that have not, and so look to us the gifted, the talented, the rich, the great!
Remember Jesus Christ who lived just to save humanity, all He came to do was to die to pay for humanity’s redemption!
Remember “Mother Theresa”! who lived her life caring and helping the poor in India!
Remember Nelson Mandela who spent years in prison because of the love of his people!
Happy Valentine DAY!

Love! Love!! Love!!!
Love is in the air!
Love for God and humanity.
What is love you might ask?
God says He is LOVE!
Loving, caring and sharing all spring from one source! GOD!
Are you a beneficiary of God’s love?
Are you a candidate of his love, grace and mercies?
Do you have a vacuum that only love can fill?
Are you in love today or you’d rather wait for tomorrow before loving?
Are you a lover or a fighter?
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love does not behave itself unseemly
Love does not seek its own.
Love is not easily provoked.
Love thinks no evil.
Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things.
Love believes all things.
Love hopes all things.
Love endures all things.
Love never fails.
Is this how you love or to you love is just a feeling that you feel when you feel the feeling that you feel?
Is your love just for convenience or real and true love described above?
Next time you tell someone “I LOVE YOU”! realize the import and importance of what you are saying?
When you say to your lover “I LOVE YOU”! you are saying “I will be there with you till the end, regardless of the trouble, trial or temptation.
You are saying I will never fail you and I will always be for you and with you. This is the seriousness and power of love!
You are saying regardless of your circumstance and situation or condition I will never fail you!
Love and loving is a great thing.
Love is life and life is love, because God is love.
Love causes a man’s face to glow and a man’s heart to skip a bit!

RE: LIVE YOUR DREAM
LIVE YOUR DREAM
What is in your heart to do?
What is your burning heart desire?
What makes you stay awake all night planning, strategizing and dreaming?
What is your greatest goal?
What do you yearn to achieve?
What makes your heart beat and your feet move with great strides?
What do you want to be remembered for?
Who do you best admire?
Who is your No. 1 role model?
What do you imagine yourself imagining?
What influence do you desire to wield?
What position do you see yourself best occupying?
What makes you happy at all times?
What would you live for?
What will you die for?
What brings a smile to your face and laughter to your heart and bounce to your steps?
What brings you great joy and satisfaction?
It is time to live that dream.
It is time to take that step.
It is time to achieve that dream.
It is time to actualize that goal.
It is time to build that company.
It is time to pay for that land and build that house.
It is time to take a leap of faith and reach that frontier that is deeply entrenched in your heart and mind.
It is time to close that deal and rap up that transaction.
It is time to rule your world.
It is time to win that race.
It is time to deliver on that promise.
It is time to commence that life transforming programme.
It is time to rule in your sphere of influence and be the star that you are.
It is time to champion that great cause.
It is time to incorporate that company.
It is time to commence that uphill task, realizing that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a simple step forward.
It is time to banish all fears and do the seemingly impossible task knowing that with God the impossible is possible.
It is time to lose that weight and get back your shape and style all at one goal.
It is time to break the record and set a new amazingly amazing new record that will not be broken in your lifetime.
It is time to write that bestseller which will propel you to becoming a literary icon of your generation.
It is time to rise above obscurity and challenge the status quo with a view to blazing a new trail.
You are destined to achieve.
You are born to shine!
You are preserved to excel!
You are a trail blazer, a mountain mover and a generational icon.
You are a battle axe to pull down oppression and give hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless.
You are a star destined to shine forever.
You must achieve your life’s mission it is a non negotiable deal between you and GOD!
You must banish all fears and take the bull not just by the horn but take it by its entire body all at once.
You must make progress.
You must arise and shine for your light has come.
You are the light of your world, and the salt of the earth.
You are an icon.
You are a gem.
You are a treasure.
You are a STAR.
You must live to the billing.
God made you for a time like this.
God positioned you for greatness and it’s time to wear the garment and take up the mantle.
Reach forward and make a difference in your world.
The time is NOW!
The person is YOU!
Remember that regret can frustrate and destroy if you do not pursue that laudable dream that’s burning in your heart.
My job is to stir you to take action!
Take ACTION NOW!
If you do TAKE ACTION, then my job is done! My work finished!
Happy New Year!
