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...

As humans, we get ourselves surrounded with people that makes us happy. We've a  strong ability to love people even though the relationship gets toxic. Just like the way our business studies in secondary school teaches us about partnership, making us know that it's the coming together of two or more people to ensure that goals are achieved and profit is made.In the same vein nature teaches us the same principles, only if we can SEE. Have you imagined how the Sun will look if the sky were to be black? Oh what a beauty the sky can be when the Sun shines at its peak. I'm always in awe of a  partnership that brings out the very best in both parties.☺️ Most times I always end up taking jaw dropping images of its splendour and radiance✨ Let's talk about the stars and the moon by night. There are some nights that I step out of my room just to have a look at how the moon compliments the beauty of the stars and vice-versa. The moon in it's different shape (halo, half-cresent...

 Those lenses needs to be replaced. Most often our sight can be questioned, not because we don’t see. But because we see with the wrong lens. We’re in haste to forget that not all circumstances misfortunes,difficulties are meant to mar us. You must have been irritated if you’ve been to a potters shop for the first time, you’d have gotten the chance to see how he endlessly smashes the already made pot till he gets his desired outcome. He doesn’t stop till the pot becomes all that he has imagined it to be. Permit me to ask if you’ve seen the transformation of a larva- pupa- adult (butterfly)? Who would have believed that something beautiful could emanate from such an organism that wasn’t a sight to behold? What if the mother killed it because it looked so ugly AT FIRST? Let’s move to our very own fetus in the womb of a woman. You definitely must be in awe of how a primitive looking creature could turn out to be cute babies that receives countless numbers of awnnnnn awnnnn whenever th...

  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...
