Those Oars are meant to be raised and not rested upon.

 It's a good thing to want to learn something new,  it’s a better thing to learn something new,  but it's best to ensure that what you learn appreciates and doesn't depreciate.

  I started my driving lesson and I discovered that there is more to driving than just driving round a large field. The first lesson was an interesting one as I was taught the basics, gradually I began to learn the rudiments of driving.

 The following lessons came with a whole lot of adrenaline popping through my system as I could conveniently drive around the entire field, you really needed to see me use one hand to hold the steering.

I was still enjoying my moment of glory when my instructor told me I was going to drive out of the field to the road the next day. All my adrenaline seized to pop at that moment because I was already used to the field and the thought of driving on the main road just scared me to death.

  The next day came, I braced up and took charge of the vehicle. The journey was going on smoothly until we got to the main road and I found it impossible to keep the vehicle straight, I was always drifting from the right side of the lane to the left side of the lane. My instructor always had to come in handy whenever I drifted away, thank God it wasn't a road that was too busy.

  I really had to consider a whole lot of things ranging from people that wanted to cross the road, children that were playing by the roadside, other road users especially okada riders as they could pop out of nowhere at any time. I drove back to the field where it all began from Inception I wasn’t pleased that I didn't perform excellently on the main road, after a beautiful and encouraging conversation with my instructor we concluded that I was going to advance my driving lessons by using tires on the field to ensure that my hands were straight while driving.

 During the tire lessons I discovered that I felt I was doing great due to the fact that I hadn't faced a new challenge as all my training took place on the field. In the same vein we tend to rest on our OARS when we start taking FEW STEPS that are amazing, only if we know that there are GIANT STRIDES for us to take then we’d not settle for less.

 Just like the way a body remains at rest until an external force is applied on it, we remain at rest when we don’t push further to take necessary steps. Let’s not camp around little LANDS we’ve covered as there are MOUNTAINS for us to invade.

YOU NECESSARILY DON'T HAVE TO QUIT;ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO STEP UP YOUR COMPANY GAME.

I woke up one beautiful morning feeling all energized to do some cleaning, after cleaning I went further to burn some old stuffs that weren’t in use any longer. I arranged them in such a way that they’ll get burnt easily, I poured kerosene on them and set them ablaze thinking everything was going to get burnt in a couple of minutes. To my amazement I saw that only few parts of what I was burning had flames on it, I tried my best in spreading the flames evenly on all the stuffs that was meant to be burnt with the aid of a large stick. Alas, it didn’t work out and I almost got my fingers burnt during the whole process, I was still looking at the other parts that lacked flame disappointedly when a very strong wind blew the flames from the burning objects to the remaining objects that were void of flame. You really needed to see the smile on my face as I watched the flames spread evenly in a matter of seconds, the other parts that were struggling to burn began to burn with ease. Th...

SPEAKING TRACKS

-
It was a very beautiful and cool morning, it rained overnight so i decided to maximize the cool of the day by going on a prayer walk (you’ll should try this often as it clears the mind and rids one of reasonable distractions) that fateful morning. During the course of my  prayers I asked the Holy Ghost for my next post on the blog as I didn’t know what to post and the weekend kept on drawing nigh, I didn’t hear anything for close to a minute but I was wise enough to still wait amidst his silence. Out of the silence came a voice that said look down, I looked down immediately because my head was held up high. All I saw were tyre tracks made by different cars, tricycles, motorcycles and bicycles, I asked myself what tyre tracks has got to do with my next post. He then began to expound it in my heart (you sincerely needed to see the spark of light in my eyes), the tyre TRACKS I saw differed distinctly from each other; some were smooth, rough, bent, straight, zig-zag all according t...

THERE’S A PLACE FOR EVERYONE

-
Isn’t it Amazing to know that there’s a place for everyone? That we’re all Humans doesn’t mean we are all called to do the same thing. Some people even feel threatened and insecure when they see people close to them make progress in what they do, and as a result of this they venture into the same thing without minding if that’s what they’re supposed to do or not. If only we know that though the Fish, Toad and Crocodile reside in the river together. The fish can’t thrive outside the water like the Crocodile or the Toad would, due to the fact that the other species are amphibians. Trouble arises whenever the Fish jumps out of the water, thinking it’ll THRIVE like the Crocodile and Toad. The Fish isn’t wired like them, it isn’t designed to THRIVE OUTSIDE WATER. In the same context we are all wired differently by our Maker, we are called to do mind blowing things in diverse ways. I know you might be tempted to say I know of A and B that do the same thing and blossom together, but the truth...
