There are numerous Life lessons embedded in our daily activities, if only we take our time to give proper attention to the things that happen around us.  One of the lessons can be drawn from a woman cooking with a charcoal stove. She first begins to set the charcoal into the stove, she then goes ahead to look for nylons and other materials that'll aid combustion. After all these are in place she goes ahead to set the charcoal and other substances on fire, she also doesn't get discouraged by the smoke that rises up first because she's more than assured of the fact that if all things are in place, the smoke will become flames of fire. She advances to take a sit to intentionally monitor the progress of the fire. She doesn't just sit alone, in her hand is a substance to fan the flames evenly, she also shields the fire from being put off by the wind. She maintains that position until the flame is potent enough to successfully cook whatever she wants to. The above scenerio sp...

 It isn't just raining water alone, it's raining lessons also and I'm super excited about all of the lessons the rainy season comes with.  I know you might be wondering what lessons one could learn from this season but, be rest assured I'll share one of them with you. We shouldn’t just be all covered in our duvets or blankets when rain pours down upon the Earth. We should also be open to maximize the lessons that comes along with the rain. It isn’t a cold weather alone, neither is it just one to get all cozy, it’s a weather for learning. One of the lessons that this season comes with is found in SHOE-PRINTS. You must have seen a hundred and one shoeprints this season, especially on a muddy road or path while coming in or going out whenever it had rained. These prints have different sizes and soles. To our greatest advantage those shoeprints are there to guide and lead us on how to tread on such paths if they’re well maximized. Those shoeprints show us what happened when...

  It’s nothing less of a wonder how God speaks to us even with mundane things!!! I never realised that the ESCALATOR could be used to express something so real and important. The same escalator which we stand on to convey us UPWARDS and DOWNWARDS speaks deep things. We’ll have our fears and worries during the good times and the bad times. Take for example, a young person in his mid 20’s smashing his/her goals, earning an amazing salary, has a very good ride. But still posed with the fear of crashing, not having it all rosy any longer, and above all almost consumed by thought of being a mediocre. Think about another individual who hasn’t had it easy all through. Struggling to make ends meet to no avail, already at the verge of letting depression have its way, and finding it difficult to hold unto to any thread of hope. The two individuals above are in critical and important times of their lives. Most times we’re quick to forget that God remains with us in our UPs and DOWNs. We need ...

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...
