RE: Finishing Well, Finishing Strong!!!

Every beginning has an ending. Every starting has a finishing. It is now officially that this is the last weekly word of wisdom that I will write to you guys via this platform in the year 2017. It has been a remarkable journey of highs, lows, triumphs and traumas but at the end of it all we have recorded more highs than lows and more triumphs than trumas.

I thank Jehovah God that we are all alive at this time and we are not in hospital, prison, or some funny place like a mental home or a rehab outside our different countries.  There is no doubt that 2017 is a mixed year for many people.  It is also true that it migh have been a phenomenal year for others the truth is that whatever the year was to you we have every cause to lift up holy hands and be thankful and grateful because it could have been a very bad year if not for the grace, mercies, favours and benevolence of our God!

On a personal note it was a very difficult year for me but I thank Jehovah God that the year did not consume me and did not leave me worse than it met me.  Difficult though the year was I have many victories to share in the course of the year 2017.   I was able to complete writing 3 new titles and publish all 3 books via amazon kindle.   The titles of the 3 books include: Because I Believed, Insightful Nuggets for Living, and The Creative Force of Faith. I thought I would have been able to print all 3 and launch them this year 2017 but that did not happen as I had planned.

Many things that I had planned to do was not done but many things that the devil had planned for my life also did not happen so for this I give Almighty God great thanks, and remain eternally grateful.  Many people lost their lives in the course of 2017, many also lost their minds and are in a worse state now than when the year began.   One thing that I must glorify God Almighty for in 2017 was that I never for once visit the hospital because of any ailment in 2017 neither was I hospitalized at any point. This is a great feat to continually give God Almighty thanks for because it was not my doing but only the grace, mercies and goodness of God at work in my life.

Finally I know that 2018 will be my year of 'Ease of Accomplishments', it will be a year of rewards, recognition and remarkable achievements! Everything that was impossible to do in 2017 will happen effortlessly in 2018 and 2018 will be my year of Marriage, Ministry and money in Jesus mighty name. amen!

I do not know what 2018 holds for you as you read this post but I want you to realize that if you are alive and reading this message then you are a victor and not a victim, a champion, and a more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus because only the great grace of God could have empowered you and I to still be alive and well up till today!

The truth is that no matter how tough and challenging 2017 was we triumphed, we conquered and we finished well and finished strong so have big and hearty laugh at the devil because he was unable to withstand you neither was he able to conquer you and I because we are unconquerable, unquenchable and unstoppable.

In 2018 we are going to be tougher, stronger, wiser, wealthier, healthier, and greater a thousand times in Jesus mighty name. amen.

Remember that better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.
Remember that the true winner is who who starts and he who finishes well and finishes strong!
Remember that that person is you and I!

Congratulation on finishing well and finishing strong!

You will hear from me again on the 1st of January 2018 in Jesus mighty name. amen. Until then stay calm, stay strong! Stay safe in Christ Jesus!

RE: 17 THINGS WE SHOULD THANK GOD FOR IN 2017

At the beginning of every new year we set out very bogus goals that we plan to achieve during the year in question. Sometimes we achieve these goals and sometimes we do not. The truth is that I do not know how you have fared so far in your journey in 2017. 

On a personal note it has been a very tough and challenging year for me but I know that the year will end in great rejoicing, praises and celebrations no matter what. 

For this week I have thought through 17 things that we should thank God Almighty for in 2017. Your list might go as far as 50 or even 100 depending on how amazing God has been good to you. On a practical note let us start with these 17 reasons why we should engage in thanksgiving, praise and continual worship for the entire lenght of this week and possibly beyond. 

Happy thanksgiving!

17 Reasons to give thanks to God Almighty in 2017.

1. You are alive.
2. You are well.
3. You are sane.
4. You are sound of spirit, soul, body and mind.
5. You a member of a unique family.
6. You have a roof over your head.
7. You can afford to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
8. You are free.
9. You are healthy.
10.You are not in the mortuary.
11. You are not in prison.
12. You are blessed in the city, blessed in the field. Blessed as you come and as you go.
13. You are talented and gifted with one or two gifts.
14. You are favoured by God and by men and women.
15. You are not a vegetable unable to think for yourself, dress yourself and fend for yourself.
16. You are not jobless, hopeless and worthless in life.
17. You have a great and glorious future especially if you are in Christ Jesus........

I admonish you to add your own specific lists to this list of 17 items and committ your life to thanksgiving and praise of the living God for if you say your case is bad then you need to visit a hospital, a psychatic ward, a prison a slave camp.

Please let us try not to offend God Almighty by being unthankful, ungrateful and unpraiseful. We were born to praise Him Jehovah, the LORD of LORDS, we were born to honour Him with our lives and our worship.

In this season of love and goodwill from our Father let us take out time to be thankful and grateful daily till the end of 2017 and beyond.

RE: Determine to Win!

Everyone in life desires to win but many end up losing or failing because they lack grit, determination, dedication, committment and a life of prayer and praise.

It is not easy to win because winning comes with a high price that most of us are not willing to pay.

Winning is sweet but the price is very high sometimes unattainable if God Almighty does not help you.

In this last month of the year we must remain focused and be committed to win no matter what. Winning is sweet, winning is powerful. Winning is the reason we were born. We are born to win. Defeat and failure are not options for us because we carry in our belly the seed of greatness and glory.

The fight is tough, the stakes are high and the price is great but we must determine to win.

We must be willing to go the whole hog. We must be prepared to fight to the finish. We must not quit as a result of obstacles, hinderances and challenges. All of these come with the territory. No pain no gain. No determination no glory!

Let us determine to give life our best shot. Let us be relentless and determined to win. Let us see the great glory ahead of us and let us prayerfully stay the course.

Life is not to the lilly livered. Life is not a walk in the park. Life is for the prepared, the strong and the determined.   In this season and always throughout our lifetime we must be committed to winning!

See you at Success boulevard!
See you at the topmost top!
We are unstoppable!
We are unquenchable!
We are winners in this life!

RE: We are on the Winning SIDE!

The Bible says that better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. The end of every matter is always great because it usually brings a closure on the matter and the Word of God also makes us to know that all things work together for our good because we love God and because we are the called according to purpose.

As the year draws to a close it is important that we refuse to fret, worry or fear because all these negative emotions only come to harm and destroy us if we give it a place in our lives. We must embrace great faith, boldness and courage in the face of very steep opposition because we know that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We also know that we already have the victories because we are fighting from the point of view of the advantage!

We are on the winning side and the winning side is the shouting, singing and rejoicing side. It is very true that the enemy of our soul the devil is waging a fierce battle against our souls so that we can end up defeated but the truth of the matter is that the devil is a big defeated liar whose job is to continually fail and fall in our lives. The devil has no capacity to ever win concerning our lives because the God that we serve and will continue to serve always gives us the victories in Christ Jesus!

There are just a few more weeks remaining in 2017 and we must realize that God Almighty has reserved the best part of this year for last in our lives. We must expect only the best and nothing less. We must see possibilities where others see fear and defeat. We must continue to remain focused, dogged and resolutely committed to our goal and dream for a glorious finish to this great year.

We started the year well and we will certainly and definitely end it well in Jesus mighty name. amen.

We will not experience any defeat, we will not see or experience any evil or sorrow. The remaining days shall be days of grace, glory and greatness and we will have reasons to continually rejoice, sing, dance and triumph because that is the bane of who we are. We are in the winning side!

We will finish strong and finish well......2017 will go down in our lives as our greatest and best year yet and only 2018 will surpass it in Jesus mighty name. amen.

So shake off the blues, relax, rejoice, sing, dance and exhale for your greatest days in this year is yet ahead of you!  We will meet at the topmost top before 2017 ends in Jesus mighty name. amen.

Expect to exceed all your expectations!

RE: In all things give thanks!

Sometimes in life things that we do not expect happen and we wonder what is happening to us. Let me give you an example. You have just finished a great programme where Almighty God visited you and through His prophet proclaimed all is well to you and your household and you get home and all hell breaks loose. What do you do at such a time. The only and best thing to do is to continually give thanks!

The truth is that we have a relentless enemy who never quits, never stops and never sleeps. He is working tirelessly everyday to bring us down, cause us great sorrow and destroy him whilst stealing our joy, peace and happiness. 

The devil is extremely wicked and his wickedness is to the highest heaven. He strikes when we least expect and throws daggers at us when we are at our happiest and lowest. The devil does not play by any rules. He fights hard and fights dirty. We must be on our guard at all times. We must never ever relent in doing good and giving thanks and praise to our Creator and King no matter what we go through in life.

We must continually focus on our big pictures and refuse to allow distractions from the camp of the enemy. We must work hard and work smart at our life's goals knowing fully well that the thief comes to steal, kill and to destroy any time he shows up.

On the other hand our God the Almighty is great, mighty, marvellous, powerful, glorious and dependable. The devil wants us to curse God and die. He desires to paint God as our enemy while the devil himself is the only real enemy of humanity. 

We must not be deluded no matter what is going on around us and insde of us. We must remain firm, grounded, stable and resolute in our believe in God. We must be committed to the God that we have come to believe in. We must stand our ground and refuse to be removed or moved.

We must choose to lean on and trust Almighty God regardless of what we see or experience for all things are certainly working for our great good if we do not lose faith or hope in God! 

Our best days have began! We are in a new season of life. A brand new day has birth and we are to enjoy the great grace of the Almighty God despite the challenges and odds that we face on our way to promised land. We have entered the beginnings of our finest and best season! We cannot be stopped, quenched or denied any longer. 

We choose to praise, worship and give thanks despite our present challenges because we know that everything is working together for our great good in Christ if we do not faint!

RE: Prepare to Celebrate!

I can hear the abundance of rain. I can see celebrations ahead. We are in the month of jubilation and celebrations. We are in our finest and best season yet!

It has been a long amazing year with tough times, exciting times and glorious times all rolled into the present year.   For some people it has been a very challenging year. To others it has been a very wonderful year. Whatever the year brought your way I am here to say that the celebrations will soon begin.

It is only proper to prepare to celebrate having worked hard all year round. It is time to let down our hair and celebrate. We must therefore prepare to celebrate!

What are we celebrating? We are celebrating the joy of being alive, of being hale and hearty and of having a very successful and fulfilling year in the LORD.

Even if you had a most challenging year it is still time to prepare to celebrate. Celebration is the need of the hour. We must have time to sing, rejoice, dance and eat and drink and be merry together.

We must prepare to celebrate. I am certainly preparing to celebrate a great and glorious year though the year was challenging and tough but I believe that things have just now taken a turn for the better and there is no better time to prepare to celebrate than now.

I will roll out the drums. I will prepare for a feast. I will call all my friends and fans. I will let my hair down. I will prepare to have the most wonderful time of my life in this amazing year that is about to close. The year will not close without me having a big, grand and impressive celebration!

Let us all decide to plan for it, prepare for it and make it happen by the special grace of God Almighty.

It is time to celebrate.
It is time to jubilate.
It is time to exhale and relax
It is time for a song, a dance and drink!

Prepare to celebrate!

RE: STAND YOUR GROUND!

The truth is that life is spiritual and only the strong overcome and become victorious in life.

One way or the other we all have to put our trust in something, someone or the living God.

I decided long ago to solely and permanently put my trust in the living God and He is yet to fail me yet.

I have also noticed that life demands a fight and a good and great fight for that matter. No one is going to roll over for you to suddenly succeed....Oh No! Nothing is ever given on a platter of gold, you have to fight your way to the top and keep on fighting.

The beautiful thing is that you can have Almighty God on your side as you fight in the battles of life. You can have Almighty God as a strong ally and He will do the fighting on your behalf.

One thing that I have noticed is that the devil our arch enemy never lets up. He is always ready for a fight. He does not give up, and he does not tire so it is up to you and I to brace up for the confrontations that the devil brings our way sometimes daily.

We must decide to stand our ground! We never never quit, never tire and never surrender in the battle of life. We must be hungry for the win and for many wins in life. I recently realized that the devil is hard of hearing and short at seeing. He desires always to discount what Almighty God has done in our lives. He wants us to believe the biggest lie of our lives and that is to believe that we are still in the same place in life when in actual fact Almighty God has answered our prayers and moved us on in life. The truth is that we are no longer poor, down, out, disadvantaged and hopeless. Our conditions have gotten better and we are now wealthy, rich, respectable, hopeful, and full of life and successes.

Alas the devil must be resisted and resisted hard. You must work hard at putting the devil under your feet. You must not allow the devil to push you around or tell you any of his lies. You must resist the devil steadfastly in the faith!

It is our season of a brand new beginning of hope, power, dominion and greatness. It is our season of liberty, comfort, satisfaction and glory! We have surely and certainly entered our finest and best hour and we must fight every force that is trying to say No! to our wealthy place in God!

The fight of faith is real. The pain of failure too is real. The choice of which of these two will happen in our lives is entirely up to us! We must stand our ground. We must remain victorious! We must fight to win! We must never back down or surrender to the lies of the devil. We are winners in this life!

We are winners in this life! We are champions in this life! We are more than conqureors in this life! We are overcomers! We are the salt of the earth and we are the light of our worlds!

This is not the time to chicken out. This is the time to stand firmly and remain secure in the truth of God that we know and believe in!

Welcome to days of GLORY!!!!

RE: Stay STRONG!

Be STRONG in the face of every opposition!
Resolve not to cave in knowing that your strength comes from the living God.
See challenges as opportunities for you to thrive, win and excel.

Do not cave in or breakdown when faced with life's challenges.
As you stand tall and stand firm regardless of your challenges you will experience God Almighty's power and blessings everytime.

Do not let anything or anyone steal your God given promise.
Do not breakdown.
Do not cower.
Do not crumble under pressure.

Welcome to 30 days of glory in the month of November!

RE: Stay Motivated despite the odds!

There are different kinds of days in our lives. Some days we are happy other days we are sad, some days we are productive, excited and full of life and other days we can barely get by because we are so bugged down with worry, anxiety and sorrow.

The important thing to note is that no matter what kind of day we have we must keep living, keep working and keep believing for a better, greater and healthier day.

Sometimes things happen that we cannot understand and we end up down and bruised by life at such times we must learn to trust God for His goodness and kindness even when we do not quite understand what is happening or what has happened.

I am not quite sure why I am having such an uninspired week as the one that I am presently having? Whether it is because of my uninspiring book fair that just ended, or the fact that I had a little accident involving my big toe? It is still unclear to me why I am feeling so low even today but then I realize that life must go on! I must shake off the blues and get inspired somehow!

I must not wallow in self pity for long, and I must find ways and means of inspiring myself to take action and become energised despite the many odds stacked against me as a person.

Perhaps you are out there and you are feeling down and out and wondering where your week's inspiration and motivation will come from?  Fear not, neither should you worry, everything has a way of working out at the end of the day especially if you continue with the business of the day. 

Do not allow your feelings dictate your life. I have found out that feelings can sometimes be wrong and we must not always depend on how we feel. We must all the time go past our feelings and do whatever it is that we need to do per time.   For example I was not feeling like writing this week's motivational but then I went past my feeling and chose to write despite my feelings.

My message is simple this week and that is simply to ''STAY MOTIVATED AND INSPIRED DESPITE THE ODDS STACKED AGAINST YOU''!

Welcome to a week of great inspiration, motivation, creativity and productivity in Jesus mighty name. amen.

Welcome to glory!

RE: Choose HAPPINESS!

There are days when we wake up sad, sorrowful and even tearful. It is inexplainable and it is usually out of our control the way that we are feeling but at such times we must deliberatly choose Happiness over sorrow, sadness and depression.

When we look at our lives sometimes we do not see any reason to be happy because of many unfulfilled dreams but at such times we must look to the bright side and again and again choose happiness over sorrow, sadness and depression.

When we look at the world we see many things happening that could easily cause one to be sad but we are not to allow these happenings control our lives we must always deliberately choose happiness over sorrow, sadness and depression.

The devil who is the enemy of our souls and lives always wants us to be sorrowful, sad and depressed but we must fight the devil always with our different weapons of the Word of God, the name of Jesus, and by choosing to be Happy despite all the fiery darts thrown at us by the devil and his cohorts.

Choosing happiness is a deliberate choose that we must daily make. We must be intentional and purposeful about our choice for happiness. We must realize that it is a great fight that we must daily fight in order to keep our sanity always.

Today and always let us work very hard at choosing HAPPINESS over sorrow, sadness and depression!

Have a great and super successful and greatly blessed week in Jesus mighty name. amen.

RE: A brand New DAWN!

Sometimes God Almighty decides to give us a brand new beginning in life. This can happen at any point in our life and our duty is to embrace the great honour and privelege of this great gift of God that always stem from His love, kindness and benevolence.

It is the start of a brand new beginning for anyone that will choose to believe these words. I speak as a spokesman for the living God!

A new dawn is usually the beginning of a new era, a new chapter and a brand new day in our lives.

Sometimes time begins a new dawn and sometimes events and happenings in our lives begin a new dawn and at other times it is a combination of a new season and a brand new event that jumpstarts a new dawn in our lives.

Today marks the era of the old and the era of the new at the same time. Better still yesterday marks the end of the old order while today marks the era of a new order and a new dawn!

What does 'A new dawn' portends?  It portends the birth and beginnings of new life, new experiences and new happenings. It portends the existence of a brand new ORDER of things in our life and in our existence.

A new dawn means a new path, a new way and a new day altogether!

It means that God Almighty has remembered us for good at last and as we embrace this new day and experience in our lives everything becomes possible especially the good, great and the excellent things that we have always dreamed about!

New is nice and newness is powerful. We must seize this day and enter the new dawn of our lives. We must not be skeptical and disbelieving. We must embrace the birth of the beginnings of a new day, a new order and a new reality.

Today is significant and tomorrow in our lives will be super relevant and powerful!

Welcome to a NEW DAWN!
Welcome to a NEW BEGINNING!
Welcome to a NEW ORDER and EXPERIENCE!
Welcome to GLORY DAYS AT LAST!

Doubt that Doubt!

Faith in God requires that we do not doubt God at all, but how many of us can boast that our faith in God is absolute without doubting at all? This week's weekly motivational is simply titled, 'Doubt that Doubt'!!!

To obtain anything from God you require that your faith is in place and this a critical requirement in the game of faith and divine manifestations. Many of us are suffering from the spirit of doubt!

We spend time praying but deep on th inside of us we doubt God by constantly worrying and fretting about matters that we ought to have settled in the place of prayers.

The dynamics of faith are simple. First you give thanks, then you pray and then you give thanks again. Our petitioning should always come last.  This is a sign of our great trust and believe in the LORD GOD Almighty.   The truth is that we spend 80 percent of our time petitioning constantly and we rarely give thanks for what God has done and for what He is yet to do.

My simple admonition this week's weekly word of wisdom is simple....'Doubt that Doubt'!!!! Whenever you doubt a promise of God immediately go ahead to doubt your doubt! We must practice this for many years before we can get to the point when we no longer doubt God. This is especially true and important for the chronic doubters.

Speak to yourself sometimes. Command the spirit of doubt to die. Command it to be removed from your life. Refuse it to stay and hinder your manifestations. Reject it, cast it out and cut it off completely, totally and permanently.   For you to obtain your manifestations in God you must do away with every form of worry, fretting and doubting.

It is very simple and can be complex too and between the simplicity and the complexity learn a simple truth.....to 'Doubt that Doubt'!!!

Welcome to divine manifestations!

Welcome to the fulfillment of dreams, hopes and aspirations!

RE: Expect to Exceed your Expectation!

This week's motivational is a charge and it is very simply tagged ''EXPECT TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATION''!

How simple is this charge! Expect to exceed your Expectations! The question to ask is also simple at this juncture......What is your expectation for the day today, for the week ahead and for the remaining days of 2017, whatever the expecatations might be my charge to you is simple! Expect to exceed your expectations!

I believe that we are all pregnant with one thing or the other especially with the creatives amongst us and even if you are not a creative you must have carried something in your womb for the past 9 months and it is time to birth whatever it is you have carefully carried and nurtured all this while!

Whatever your expectations are my charge to you is simple! 'Expect to exceed your expectations! Your expectation must be very high because at this point of delivery everything is possible! For me especially, everything that is powerful, positive and purposeful is possible! What about you?

I am pregnant with so many books, so many creative babies and I am rearing to go because I know that it is my time to bring forth without much labour because I hav laboured in the 9 months and it is a natural time to deliver and bring forth every one of my great expecations in God Almighty. What about you?

I want you to know that this time henceforth you will exceed your expectations. Expect it! Believe it and you will surely see it. This is my very strong believe for this new week as we all enter a brand new chapter of birthing and bringing forth with great ease! Providence will make it possible. God Almighty will help us birth easily and our lines will fall in pleasant places for us. We will be highly sought after and our joys, gladness and happiness will know no bounds!

Again I say, 'EXPECT TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS'!!!!!!!

We will return with our great and amazing testimonies in Jesus mighty name. amen!

9 Tips on Winning Life's battles!

Sometimes in life we meet a hard place, a rocky place and a difficult place. At such times funds are low, friends are few and even God Almighty seems to have taken a break from our life's affairs and all seems gloomy and dark because we cannot seem to find a way out our our present dilema.

At such a time what can one do? Do we call it quits on God? Do we reach out to friends? Do we give up on life or do we simply throw in the towel?

I am at such a place presently where nothing seems to be working, and everything is quiet, dull and uninteresting. To top it up sales has been slow and business not so good in the country.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an eternal optimist and I never ever quit but the few weeks has been very traumatic and draining. To top it all up I have just recovered from an illness. These all seems like a bad combination but then wait a minute what do you do when you have done all that you know to do and you still do not know just what to do?

From my little understanding of life:

1. This is not the time to quit, surrender or throw in the towel.
2. This is the time to press into God the more through Prayers, Praise, and radical giving.
3. Change your narrative about your life's situations and conditions. Change the pictures of failure, and impossibilities in your mind. Change your perspectives and change your focus.
4. Refuse to accept the present situation as the only reality. There is another reality that is begging to manifest in the realm of the physical because no matter how difficult things might seem God Almighty is still the only present help in the time of trouble and difficulty. He does not sleep nor does He slumber. He never ever goes on holidays and He can be trusted to come through for us even though He chooses how and when everytime because He is the ever living God!
5. Remember all your past Victories and battles. Play them in your mind especially the great battles that you fought in and won in by the special grace of God Almighty. Cast your mind back on past troubles and see how Almighty God saw you through them all and realize that God who did it then will do it AGAIN in your life if you do not quit on God and on yourself.
6. Decide that whatever happens you will fight till the very end until you WIN because you were born a winner and a champion in life. The truth is that the fight will not take forever and you are closer to your win than when you first began.
7. Stand your ground! Do not shake or shiver. Do not lose steam or lose focus. You are with God Almighty and that portends the majority. You are fighting to win and winners never quit and quitters never win so stand firm and stand tall throughout the fight.
8. Your opponent is a loser. He lost at the beginning and will lose again and will forever lose the battle against your soul. Realize that the devil is waging a losing battle but it is a battle of wits and stamina so you must be ready to outwit the devil and put him forever in his place under your feet!
9. Finally stay positive, powerful and promising because this too will pass and a brand new day will dawn birthing greater promises, greater vision, and a greater and brighter tomorrow.

RE: YOU HAVE COME TOO FAR TO QUIT

You have come too far to QUIT!

                                                           

You have come too far to give up now.

You have come too far to quit the race.

You have come too far to surrender.

You have come too far to quit.

This is not the time to turn back this is not the time to surrender.

Remember how you have suffered in the past,

Remember the journey that you have been on.

Remember the battles that you have had to fight.

The truth is that you are nearer glory than ever before.

The truth is that you are almost at the promisedland gate.

Do not quit the fight.

Do not surrender to lies.

Do not become weary and tired.

Rise above life’s limitations.

Rise above your present situation and decide to make it till the very end.

You are born to win.

You are born to rule.

You are born to reign.

Let hope flood your heart for a better tomorrow.

Let faith arise in your spirit for a greater future.

Let patience have its full course.

Do not abort your journey.

Do not retreat or surrender to life’s vicissitudes.

Fight if you must for your dreams.

Forge ahead regardless of the many disappointments.

You are a day away from your place of glory.

You are a prayer away from your breakthrough.

Do not relent.

Do not tire.

Do not give up now.

You have come too far to give up!!!

RE: No ember months for me!

Though my writing transcends Africa the truth of the matter is that though I am a global player yet I am first African, Nigerian first before I am anything else.   Nigerians have many nuances and idonsincracies.

I honestly do not know when the 'Ember months' phenomenon started or who started it but I know that whoever started it has done more harm than good in our nation Nigeria.

The last quarter of each year ends with the 4 months, September, October, November and December and in Nigeria these four months are called the 'Ember months'!

The average Nigerian including so called Christians are terrified of these sets of months in the year every year.   According to popular belief these 4 months ending with 'ember' carry a lot of evil in it because of deaths, accidents, kidnappings, and every other manner of evil that can be found in a year.

As a result of this most Nigerians and Nigerians living outside Nigeria who have been poisoned by this fact fear these 4 remaining months in the year.   I am a different breed though Nigerian. I have no fears whatsoever of these 4 remaining months in the year because as a strong believer in our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ I am more persuaded of what the Word of God says about these 4 months than about popular belief.

First of all the Bible records that:
1. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.
2. The path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day.
3. The glory of the latter shall be greater than the former.
4. God who began the good work in me is able to perfect it unto that day.
5. No weapon formed or fashioned against me shall ever prosper.
6. If God be for me who can be against me.
7. God who watches over us never sleeps nor slumbers.
8. God has already given his angels charge over us.
9. No evil shall befall us as children of the most High God!
10. Perfect love casts out fear. God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.
11. God crowns our year with fatness and our paths drop fatness.
12. Our lives are hid in Christ in God.

These 12 records are Holy Scriptures contained in the Word of God which I strongly believe in and live by daily, weekly, monthly and yearly so I refuse to fear their fear and so No EMBER months for me but rather the ember months are my own excellent months. The ember months for me are my months of glory and greatness. They are my months of reward, flourishing and celebrations.   They are my best and greatest months of the year because they are my crowning months so No EMBER months for me!

As a man thinks so he or she is! There is a need to change your thinking about the so called ember months so that you can begin to walk, and live boldly throughout every month in every year! This way you can gain the full benefits inherent in every calendar year!

Welcome to your months of grace, glory and greatness!

Welcome to your finest and best months!

Welcome to your months of rewards and celebrations.

RE: See Possibilities always!

Our ability to see, hear, taste, touch and feel is a great and wonderful gift of God and we must not take any of them for granted because they help us maximize our greatest and best potentials at every given point in time in life.

Today I am going to be focusing on our ability to see.  There are two kinds of seeing. We see with our outer eyes and we see with our inner eyes.  Both of these types of seeing are vital and very important for our continual growth and development in life.

Our eyes help us to see physically while our heart and minds help us to see on a more deeper level. You need both to optimize potential in life.

What you focus on constantly is what you eventually become. You can look and not see and you can see without looking. This sounds like a paradox but it is a truth and a fact of life. If the physical eyes were our only avenue of seeing then how do blind people live and excel in life?

What we see is important. How we see what we see is even more important. The question today to ask is what are you seeing?  Are you seeing closed doors? Are you seeing lost times? Are you seeing failure? Or are you seeing wide open doors? Are you seeing a future that is loaded, bright and beautiful? Are you seeing successes even when there is failure all around you? Are you seeing peace and harmony even when there is crisis and pain all around you?  

Check carefully what you are daily seeing because we tend to gravitate towards our vision. Vision is important in every human endeavour because vision gives vigour, it gives direction and it breeds velocity and momentum in our lives.   We all know the half empty and half full life phenomenon. We are all familiar with the exercise.   Perception is reality and our reality is our perception!

Today I admonish you to see only possibilities, wide open doors, successes and greatness!  This is because  your sight is your vision and your vision is your reality.

Welcome to POSSIBILITIES!

RE: Accessing the next LEVEL!

In life there is always a next level to attain or else we stagnate. It is important to know when to begin to move to access the next level just like it is important to know what to do to access the next level in life.

Many of us in life simply plateau. We are satisfied with status quo. We are satisfied with where we are but this is not how to live. We must strive to access our next level and only you know what your next level is in life. Nobody else has this information but you.

You have been on this mountain long enough!  It is time to change gear, change direction and move on up! It is time to access your next level.  Next level can mean many things to many people.   It can mean moving to a bigger place, it can mean sitting for that professional examination, and it can mean getting married or getting that next rise in your office.   Whatever it means for you is what is important at this point of our discourse.

To access your next level you must:

1. Become tired of where you presently are.
2. Ensure that you are fully prepared for your next level.
3. Sometimes change your present base and your circle of friends.
4. Be ready for all the possible changes that will take place as a result of you accessing your next level.
5. Pay the price for your next level.
6. Be intentional about accessing your next level.
7. Be Passionate about leaving the old to enter the new of your next level.

Life's success happens to only the prepared because nothing just happens. If you are presently very dissatisfied with where you are then you are about to begin the journey to your next level.   Give it your best shot because accessing your next level will demand that you are intentional and that you fully pay the price for access.

Realize that new levels require a new mindset. You must realize that there will be new challenges and new choices to be made. You must be mentally prepared for this leap of faith because it is transitioning to a place you have never been before.

Whatever happens stay open, excited and passionate about your new state because it is a place that you have prayed for and hoped for all your life so enjoy the journey to your new place of glory and power!

See you at the top!

RE: Keep the dream in view.

There are many distractions in life. Many things daily calling for our attention and the era of the social media does not help. Suddenly everyone is saying something and everyone wants to be heard at the same time. This can be very distracting and destructive.

It is important to always keep the dream in focus and not to get sidelined and in the process lose the dream. Dreams are good because they help us pursue something grand and powerful in our future.

A dream is usually bigger than where we are presently. A dream needs the power of faith and hope to come to pass and we are not alone in our dream journey as we must get the by in of our Creator and King to actualize our dreams if they are truly of God.

Dreams help us to live today in tomorrow because once a dream is actualized it loses it's power and appeal. Dreams are beautiful, powerful and important for every human being to live for.

We must not allow destructive distractions to kill our dreams. We must be intentional about keeping our dreams in view. We must visit the place of our dreams and also daily pray for the actualization of our dreams. We must ensure that the right people are in the journey of our dreams and not merely time wasters and dream killers whose sole aim is to help destroy our dreams.

We must guard jealously our dreams and daily work at seeing them come to pass. Our dreams represent a portion of our lives and also a potent aspect of our future.

In this season and always we must keep our dreams in view and ensure that we focus on them until they become our realities.

Welcome to a brand new beginning of birthing and fruition!

RE: Try New Things.

There is no better time in the world than now to try new things especially because we are in a season of new beginnings. Life is too short to remain stagnated and limited.

The truth is that life is full of new discoveries and new territories. We must brace up to the fact that there is more to life than we are presently enjoying and feeling. There is a whole new territory and horizon that is untouched and unmasked and this is the time to launch out to try new things.

Take time to evaluate and examine your life to see which areas you need to try new things. If you have taken the same route home in the last ten years it is time to try new routes. If you have had the same kinds of foods in the last decade it is time to try other foods and if you have dressed in a certain way in the same period of time it is time to change your hairstyle, your garments and your entire lifestyle.

Simply decide to try new things. It takes a firm and decisive decision to make this work because as human beings we hate changes in our lives. We talk about it, we preach about it but we really do not ever change as we prefer the status quo.

In this season please ensure that certain things change about you. You can change the small things about yourself or make drastic changes where necessary. Life is too short to be jaded and stuck with a certain type of lifestyle that is not exciting, progressive or engaging.

I certainly must make some changes and for me that changes must begin today. Let this be your resolution too because there is more to life than the same old same old stuff year in and year out.

Praying you God's speed and success as we all embark on this great and exciting season of Changes!

RE: NEW BEGINNINGS!

Welcome to a brand new day, a brand new week and a brand new month in this amazing month of August! It is a brand new beginning for us all as we enter and embrace this great and glorious dawn in our lives.

The number 8 is the number of new beginnings. We must therefore learn to forget the past and expectantly hope for a brand new beginning of life, living and hope!

Yesterday is gone forever and we have spent 7 great months already in this amazing year and we have just entered the beginning of a brand new month which itself depicts a brand new beginnings.   I use the word beginnings intentionally because this month will birth many new beginnings in our life by the special grace of the Lord Almighty.

Everything will become new as we begin this glorious month. Our thoughts, our actions and our behaviour must take on a brand new slant. We must desire glory and greatness because of the great grace of Almighty God upon our lives.

The word new according to the dictionary meaning can mean several things ranging from the unfamiliar, original of a type not ever seen before and having no previous example and precedent.

We are in a new month that has birth for us all a new beginning if we can determine to believe the Word of God! In this new month we will experience newness, freshness and vitality both in health and in well being.   All our experiences will be totally new and refreshing and our experiences will always lead to great joy, gladness and rejoicing in Jesus mighty name. amen.

Truly the new month will spell new beginnings that will usher in unprecedented blessings, breakthroughs, benefits and brilliance.

We will remember this month as our unforgettable month of great grace, glory and greatness!

Everywhere we turn to we will be highly celebrated and honoured and our lights will shine brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. The lines will fall for us in pleasant places and men and women will seek us out for our brilliance and our excellence.

It will be a month like no other!

Welcome to Newness, freshness and greatness in Jesus mighty name. amen.

RE: REFUSE TO BE FRUSTRATED!

Sometimes in life we feel the pressure and gradually without noticing it frustration begins to set in because of unfulfilled dreams and visions.  My admonition today is simple. Refuse to be frustrated!

Frustrations come to us at various stages of our life and the depth and intensity of these kinds of frustrations can vary greatly but the truth is that it is still the same source that our frustrations come from, the enemy of our soul, the devil.

The devil works very hard to frustrate us and do not allow any one to lie to you by telling you that the devil does not exist!   The devil is very real and he does not joke with his job. He is forever working to see that we are destroyed through many instruments of warfare and one of the weapons that the devil uses is the weapon of 'frustration'!

It is very easy to be frustrated if you are not determined, rugged and strong. The truth is that anything and everything can frustrate us. On a personal level I get frustrated when things do not work out as I planned it to work out but the truth about life is that things do not always work out as we plan.   Another issue that frustrates me is when I get broke financially or I am on my way to being broke.

You know what causes frustration in your life and I know what causes it in my own life. Frustration is a deep and terrible evil that must be avoided at all cost because it can cause hopelessness and easily lead to depression and suicidal thoughts.  

Fight your frustrations by keeping your hopes alive.   Feed daily whatever gives you hope for a better tomorrow.   Feed your hope with more of the Word of God because therein lies your power, strength and peace.

Take proactive steps to fight every form of frustration that you are presently going through! Do not die in your present condition.   Be optimistic, be proactive and be prayerful.

Speak out against your frustrations. Tell yourself you refuse to be frustrated! Remind yourself of the many successes of the past and the many victories of the past and realize that the God that did it for you in the past can yet do it again and again for you if only you can 'BELIEVE'!

Be active and full of positive energy and hope at all times. You do not want to stay idle because the devil fuels your frustration whenever you remain idle for too long!

This is the last week in the month of July and my prayers for us all is that Almighty God meets all our hopes, dreams and aspirations with results and testimonies in Jesus mighty name. amen.

RE: IT is time to Make that MOVE!

There is time for everything in life. There is a time to watch, there is a time to pray. There is a time to scatter, there is a time to gather. There is a time to love and there is a time to hate.

The beauty of life is knowing what time it is? And making the necessary move every time.

If you do not know what to do in life then you are in great trouble because a great factor that affects our success or lack of it is knowing exactly what to do per time in life.

Simply put it is time to make that move. It is time to forge ahead, it is time to try that new road. It is time to go further, farther and faster because life does not wait for anyone.

At the beginning of this great and glorious year we all set out to accomplish great and lofty goals. The question is how many of those goals have we been able to accomplish? The next question is what is stopping us from achieving our set our goals? Is it a lack of motivation? Is it laziness? Or is it procrastination? Whatever is stopping us from reaching our goals must be stopped!   This is the time to make that move! There is no better time than now to move on, move up and move forward.

We have circled the mountain long enough! We have feared fear long enough! We have been on the same spot long enough and it is time to break away from status quo and break into new territories and take up new mountains and overcome those limiting challenges that have held us bound for so long.

It is time to break through the barriers. It is time to blast through the mountains and remove every limiting factor. It is time to see new dreams, visions and landscapes.

It is time to make that move that has the potential to move us upward and forward!

We were born to achieve greatness and sometimes this can only be done by dogged determination and commitment to the cause. We must stay on course by staying focused and determined. We must see differently, think differently and act differently if we are to break these limiting barriers.

It is time to make that move! It is a specific move that has the power to move us higher, greater and better and this is the set time to make the move.

Exercise the necessary faith! Reach higher! Reach Further, farther and faster!

Make that move today!

RE: Take your inheritance forcefully!

Life is a fight! Life is a battle and you must be prepared for the battles of life. Nothing good will come to you  easily. You must be prepared to take it by force.  The good news is that the battle has been won by Jesus Christ and our business is to enforce the won victory on the earth.

The devil is a master at deceiving, stealing, telling lies and destroying the human race. He has done it for so many years now that he has become an expert at it. If you do not know your rights as a believer you will pay dearly for your ignorance.  

The Bible says 'All things are ours', it means everything has been prepared on life's table for our good and enjoyment but what do we see. We see the devil working very hard to ensure that nothing that belongs to us comes to us. He is a master at this endeavour.

You must be prepared to FIGHT for what rightfully belongs to you! You must not relent in taking the war to the devil and dislodging him of your possessions. They are rightfully yours. The devil has nothing of his own except a horde of demons and that is all the possession that rightfully belongs to him but for centuries now the devil has perfected the art of stealing and deceiving so he leaves believers penniless who should be wealthy, healthy and strong in life.

Today we must determine to:

1. Take our place and take back our possessions.
2. Never again allow the devil to steal from us again.
3. Do all in our power to retain what rightfully belongs to us.
4. Pray through until we breakthrough.
5. Live a life of holiness, sacrifice and purity.

Life is a fight and we must be prepared to fight until we win.

We are winners. We are champions. We are victors. We are more than conquerors.

We were born to rule and reign as champions upon the earth.

In this season and always we must take back all that belongs to us by right because Jesus Christ paid the full price for our redemption and salvation and He also paid in fully for our complete inheritance in God Almighty!

Please do not be slack. Take back time is now!!!!!

Do not complain, moan or groan. Prepare to fight and regain all your lost possessions. The fight requires that we pray constantly, praise God Almighty all the time and fast often. We must live a life of sacrifice and power and be ready to pay the price of holiness and power everyday.

The fight is real but victory is sure and certain for every true believer in Christ Jesus!

Welcome to dominion.
Welcome to power and authority in Christ Jesus!
Welcome to great victories through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

RE: CHOOSE TO SEE THE FULL!

Life can sometimes be very difficult, challenging and traumatic and nobody can fault this statement because it is the fact of life. Sometimes it seems that we are going through dark places where all we experience is pain, sorrow and death and even though we pray for changes it seems to take forever before our changes show. At such times it is easy to conclude that life is a difficult place and it is easy for us to become down, depressed and to despair.

My admonition today is the need to continually see differently. It is easy to look around and not see much happening, It is easy to look around and see only death and emptiness but at such times we must look inwards and upwards and choose to only see the full.

Let me explain what I mean by 'choosing to see the full'! The glass is always half empty or half full as they say and it is important that we choose to see our glass of life half full rather than half empty. This is even more important because life is always about perspectives and how we choose to see rather than what we are currently facing.

This realization dawned on me at the end of June 2017 because I had very high hopes for the month of June 2017, and I had done all that I needed to do to ensure that my dreams, hopes and aspirations come to pass but alas it was a most disappointing month for me because I was only able to accomplish just a few of my goals. I was disheartened and frustrated at a point but then after deeper introspection I realized that I was not seeing well at all. My lens was faulty and my sight too was faulty.

I needed to see differently and to see well. It occurred to me that how I was seeing needed to change and what I was seeing too needed to change. So I did not accomplish much in the course of the month but the truth of the matter was that I lost nothing either.  Also, so much could have happened to me and in me to cause me grief and great pain and sorrow and because of the grace, love, mercies and power of the living God I was spared from all the many things that could have gone wrong in that month. What if I had died that month. What if I had ended up in hospital that month. What if there was a terrible plot to rope me in something I knew absolutely nothing about. What if I lost a precious relative in the course of the month in question. What if, what if, and what if.

After very deep thought I came to the conclusion that the month had been great, glorious and amazing because of all the many things that Almighty God delivered me from and spared me from in the course of the month.

So let us learn to think deep and to give thanks that we are not where the devil wants us to be even if we are not yet in our promised land.

Going forward let us learn to choose to see the full! The great life, the excellent health, the many successes, the excellent family around us and the wonderful and victorious life that we are living on earth!  Choosing to see the full in our lives is a deliberate choice that we must daily make because life will throw us distractions to keep us focused on the wrong and on the negatives of life.

I pray that we have a truly blessed, successful, powerful and purposeful second half of 2017 in Jesus mighty name. amen.

RE: Disappointments sometimes happen!

Sometimes in life we get one disappointment or the other and at the time the disappointment is happening it is usually very painful but always with the benefits of hindsight we see that it was all the time working for our great good.

Disappointments happen sometimes. It can be very painful and disheartening when our plans do not happen, when our prayers are not answered as we planned and when our goals are not achieved when we want and how we want.

I guess this is one of life's mysteries that we can only ponder upon and never quite understand. We get disappointments from many quarters and even from God sometimes we get disappointments. He alone knows why He chooses to answer us or not to answer us as and at when we desire but the truth of the matter is that God knows best.

We start the beginning of the year, the beginning of the month and the beginning of the week and day very excited but at the end of each day, week, month and sometimes year things just do not pan out the way that we desire and we are hurt, pained and traumatized sometimes.   At such times only the comforting embrace of the LORD GOD can save and deliver us.

It is important to put things in perspective at such times because only the living can dream, aspire and plan.   A dead person is dead and has no power to do anything whatsoever so as long as we have our breath let us learn to give God thanks because once there is life then there is hope and hope will strengthen, empower and enliven us if we do not despair and slide into depression because of our disappointments.

Let us take out time to count our blessings, name them one by one and give thanks to the giver of all things beautiful and good! the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!

Let us trust God despite our many challenges, difficulties, troubles and disappointments because tomorrow will birth a greater and better day if we only keep our hopes and dreams ALIVE!

So keep hoping, trusting, believing and living! We are closer than when we first began!

Bye Bye June! Hello July!!!

RE: Do not give up when you are hardest hit!

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in a difficult place where it seems absolutely nothing is working.

We all pass through this phase in our lives but the question today is what do you do when you do not know what next to do?

At such times:

1. Stay Calm and do not despair. Remember that you are stronger than your present situation and that it is darkest before the dawn.

2. Remain resolute in your belief in God the Almighty because when you are down to nothing God is always up to something.

3. Remember the past occurrences and see that in the past it has always ended in praise.

4. Note that whatever comes your way is what you can handle because if you cannot handle it, it will never be allowed by God to come to you.

5. Pray, Praise, fast because you need extra power to contend with whatever is trying to steal your joy.

6. Learn to rejoice regardless of your present situation because if the devil cannot take your joy then he cannot take your possessions. Do not give him the privilege to steal from you. Your joy is yours, it is a gift of God Almighty.

7. Reach out to people who can bolster your faith and inject your joy with more joy.

8. Take out time to remember how far God Almighty has helped you thus far and realize that this present situation too will pass and you will yet bounce back to life, joy and rejoicing if you do not slide into depression.

9. Remember you are an occurrence away from your breakthrough and the devil is fighting you because he can see the glory perhaps that you cannot yet see, so beat him at his game and send his baggage of death, despair and depression back to the him.

Finally laugh out LOUD!!! laugh at your enemy the devil because you are a victor and a champion in this game called life! You will reach your highest and best if you do not quit, surrender or give up the fight. When you are hardest hit fight back with every strength in you because you are a champion for life!

RE: Change your narratives.

 

Never underestimate the power of the spoken WORD! Words are powerful, words create, inspire, and can destroy. Words help to shape our lives and our worlds. We are nothing without words!

Some of us have negative words in our subconscious all day long. Some of us were born into homes where negative words reigned as kings and queens.

Some of us battle negative words in our spirits, souls and minds. We wake up with them and go to sleep in them. Today I admonish us to change the narratives of our lives.

We need to be upbeat,
We need to be optimistic.
We need to be eternally positive.

There are some things we cannot change but our attitudes always depends on us. We need to change our narratives, we need to quit saying words such as I cannot make it! I cannot climb that mountain! or words like It is not enough! We need to change the narrative around us and inside of us.

We need to carry out an audit of some of the thoughts that constantly circle our hearts and minds. I am gradually winning this battle of the mind where I sometimes see impossibilities when in actual fact there is no impossibility with God!

We need to become powerful in being deliberate with our thoughts and our words.
We need to become positive and purposeful with our thinking patterns and monitor closely the kinds of thoughts that we allow into our conscious and subconscious minds because thoughts shape our lives.

To create a better, greater, higher and more glorious life we need to change our narratives.

We must rule our worlds by ruling over our thoughts!

 Welcome to an amazingly blessed and beautiful week!

RE: HALF WAY MARK!

We have reached the half way mark in this great and glorious year and it is time for stock taking!

The half way mark is an important place to stop and to celebrate and also to see further and farther.

We have been blessed by the Almighty to witness this sixth month in the year 2017, the truth of the matter is that not many made it thus far. Some are now dead, buried and will soon be forgotten! So let us take time to thank the Almighty for the mercies and grace to see the sixth month alive, healthy, sound of spirit, soul, body and mind! This is not a small thing at all, it is a very great thing that requires us to stop to give thanks to the Almighty.

The half way mark is a great place because it is not the beginning and it is neither the end of the journey, it is the very middle of the journey and at such a time like this we must take out time to project into the end of the year ahead of us.  Are we on track? Are things working out for us just as we envisioned? Do we need to make some changes? What can we do differently? Do we need redirection? Do we need to pray, praise and fast more or are we good to go as we presently are?

We must take out time to revisit our goals book for the year and see what and what we have been able to accomplish and see what is still yet undone and work out ways of ensuring that we meet our targets for the year.  If we notice that we are not there at all then we might need to re-strategize and rework somethings in our lives so that we can meet our set goals and targets!

We have reached the half way mark let us make judicious use of this time and place and work extra hard at reaching all our goals. Let us not neglect the Lord God Almighty in any of our activities because God is the greatest ally that any man or woman needs. Let us give God His rightful place in our hearts and in our activities.

I pray that the power to do a greater and more glorious job in the remaining six months of the year ahead of us be given to us all and that at the end of this year we will have many amazing reasons to celebrate, jubilate and be thankful indeed!

Welcome to the half way mark!

The truth is that you are almost at the promisedland gate.

Do not quit the fight.

Do not surrender to lies.

Do not become weary and tired.

Rise above life’s limitations.

Rise above your present situation and decide to make it till the very end.

You are born to win.

You are born to rule.

You are born to reign.

Let hope flood your heart for a better tomorrow.

Let faith arise in your spirit for a greater future.

Let patience have its full course.

Do not abort your journey.

Do not retreat or surrender to life’s vicissitudes.

Fight if you must for your dreams.

Forge ahead regardless of the many disappointments.

You are a day away from your place of glory.

You are a prayer away from your breakthrough.

Do not relent.

Do not tire.

Do not give up now.

You have come too far to give up!!!

RE: Aim Higher! REACH FURTHER!

Have you ever aimed for something in life and gotten it? Have you ever aspired and reached your goal? Have you ever dreamed and seen your dreams come to pass? Have you ever set goals and succeeded in your goals. Well if you have ever enjoyed any level of success no matter how small it does goes to show that dreams can come true and goals can be achieved and aspirations can succeed.

Today my admonition to you is to aim higher. Yes aim higher! Reach further. Stretch and do more in life because there is more to you than you can see. You are potentially more loaded with intelligence than you can ever imagine. You have capacities for achieving more, doing more and being more!

All you need to do is cast your mind back to the past and see how far you have come in life. The many amazing things you have been able to achieve. The amazing places you have reached and the amazing milestones life has empowered you to achieve in your small time in this life.

This is the time to stretch forward and reach forward. This is the time to aim higher and go further. If you do not stretch you cannot understand the amazing capacities and capabilities which you are endowed with. Do not settle for less when there is more to you!

Today aim higher and go further. You have no limitations. You have no barriers. You are made for more!!!

Congratulations because you will reach your goals and achieve all your aspirations in this season and throughout your life time in Jesus mighty name. amen.

RE: FOLLOW YOUR PASSION!

Passion is great especially when it is positive and powerful. I am not talking of negative sexual passion here I am talking about that positive thing, issue, matter that super excites and really does get you going.

Passion can be both positive and powerful. It is what we ought to build our lives on. Passion comes from within and from without. You can be passionate about life and living, the environment, animals, different causes to mention just a few.

Whatever you are passionate about should drive your causes and your work because therein too lies your purpose and your potentials.

I am passionate about writing and encouraging and inspiring people to live their greatest and most powerful lives and I have written these motivationals now for free for the past eight years and still counting. Nobody pays me to do what I am doing and sometimes people do not even care to read what I have written but because it is my passion I continue to churn out more and more inspiring content.   One day I know that providence will promote me for my work in this field of motivation.

My plea with you today is simple. Discover your passion and live your best life based on your positive and powerful motivation. Perhaps you have already discovered your passion well you can do more with your passion and if you are yet to discover it there is no better time than now to do something positive and powerful with your life.

Passion pulls us. It directs us and it motivates. Let us learn to listen to that inner voice pulling and tugging at us towards destiny. Passion helps us fulfill destiny when fully put to work.

Do not forget this is the best time to follow your passion. It is never too late to change the course of our destinies especially if you are in a rut at the moment.

Welcome to your best and most inspiring days yet!

Welcome to a week of discovery of passion, purpose, power and possibilities!

RE: You are making daily Progress!

Sometimes it feels as though we are in one place just going round and round in circles.   Well I am here to make an important announcement to us today! 'YOU ARE MAKING DAILY PROGRESS'!

The truth is that we are all daily making progress at least if you are a serious minded person then you must be working daily to make progress. Sometimes we wish that our progress was outstanding, great and amazing but it does not always work that way.

Most of the time progress is slow, certain but sure. If you look back at the last 5 years you would find that not only are you not where you used to be the truth is that you have also made progress and left that spot 5 years ago.

You are making progress in your work, in your family life, in your finances and in your ministry if you have one.

You are daily been changed and also you are becoming more effective, more powerful and more promising in life. The important thing is never ever to plateau! Never think that you have arrived and thereby stop trying and exerting yourself.

Today let us take time to celebrate our progress. Let us pat ourselves on the back and rejoice for the journey so far. Today is a great day to be thank God Almighty for how far He has helped us.

Finally take time to take stock how far you have come in the last 5 years and plan for the next 5 years.

You are not stagnated. You are not limited. You are making daily sure progress as you continue to strive for a better and a greater tomorrow.   CONGRATULATIONS!!

Re: Who told you?

Life sometimes tries to contain us, limit us and stagnate us so much so that we begin to believe this lie told to us by life's lies.

The truth is that we are so much more than we can ever believe, think or pray. We are strong, talented, beautiful, creative, and full of unused potential.

So my question today is this, who told you?

Who told you that you cannot rise above your current situation?
Who told you that you cannot become all that you planned and imagined?
Who told you that you cannot excel better than you parents?
Who told you that you cannot travel the world with your limited education?
Who told you that you cannot build that house or own properties all over the world?
Who told you that cannot become the wealthiest person in your continent?
Who told you that you cannot become the greatest person that ever lived in your generation?
Who told you that you cannot become the greatest writer that ever lived in this century?
Who told you that you cannot become the greatest composer and poet in your generation?
Who told you that you cannot marry that man of your dreams and have those amazingly wonderful children that you have always dreamed about?
Who told you that you cannot rise above the ashes of your past and build a great life today?
Who told you that you cannot recover fully from that health condition and live a life of power, influence, prominence and affluence?
Who told you that you cannot succeed, prosper and become all that you were created to be in this season and for all seasons?

Well it is time to take off the limits from your life and start to believe in yourself again.
It is time to dream bigger dreams that will take only the help of God Almighty to achieve.
It is time to try again and take actions full of faith and power so that your life can bounce out of obscurity into fame, prominence and stardom!

You are loaded with talents, blessings, creativity and witty ideas.
You are too blessed to fail and you are custom made for the topmost top.

Whatever lies you have believed before now it is time to stop believing those lies and start expanding the scope of your faith and power in your heart and mind.

It is time to reach, stretch and do great things.
It is a new day, it is a new season, it calls for a mindset that is ready to go all the way to the top of your game.

You were made for greatness! You were made for more!

Welcome to a month of great grace and unprecedented accomplishments in every area and sphere of life! Welcome to glory!!!

RE:TIME TO FORGE FORWARD!

This week has been amazing to say the least. A very difficult and tedious week it has been. The week started with me feeling very low and though I cannot put my fingers on why my week started this way I have had to ask the LORD for greater grace to make it through each day as it has been very difficult and challenging.

It has been so challenging that I did not even know what to title this week's motivational until I spoke to one of my mentors today.   We were talking about how challenging it has become to be living and working in Nigeria at this time and it occurred to me that there was only one choice open to us all and that was to forge forward and that was how I came about this week topic.

It is time to forge forward.
It is time to forge ahead despite every opposition, challenge and difficulty.
It is time to forge forward and the question is how does one forge forward.

The Word to 'Forge' is an interesting word, and according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the Word can be a noun or a verb. As a noun it is a furnace or a shop where metal is heated and wroth. It is also a workshop where wrought iron is produced. As a transitive verb it means to form by heating and hammering. On the other hand as an intransitive verb it means to move forward slowly and steadily. Or lastly to move with a sudden increase of speed or power.

For the purpose of this write up the second to the last definition is applicable. To move forward slowly and steadily. With the uncertainty of the times that we are living in we must determine to cultivate this mindset of forging forward. It is the only option open to us as powerful, optimistic and positive persons that we are.  

Everything is working to block our view and stifle our movements but we must take purposeful, steady and focused movements at our goals. We must not look back. We must not quit or surrender to fate. We must forge forward and resolutely pursue our dreams, visions, and goals on a daily basis.

The only option open to us is an upward and forward movement. We must forge forward in our plans, purposes and pursuits. This is not the time to cave in and give up. This is the time to forge ahead, forge forward and reach for the stars.  

We must realize that we are closest than when we first began. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step and we must take definite and progressive steps forward realizing that we are on the way and that we will arrive safely if we refuse to quit.
