Make Every Minute Count! #Cont…



Hi everyone, how has your day been? Mine has been quite a rainy day. As a matter of fact, I got drenched by the rain. I didn’t expect it to rain as heavily as it did but at the same time I’m grateful for it and am sure those that have farms, gardens, would be thankful for it as well.
Ok, so in the morning before I rushed off to school, I was speaking on how we should make every moment count. Well, I don’t mean to suggest that we should be doing something with every minute of every day. Taking time to reflect and just drink in the quiet and silence is also very valuable during those moments between scheduled events. Silence restores the soul and helps prepare us for the next thing we need to do. I value my quiet moment and so I try to create time to have my “alone moment” no matter how tight my schedule is.

We need to learn to discern our needs physically, mentally, emotionally, and of course spiritually and use our time accordingly. Sometimes reading is best and at other times sitting quietly and doing absolutely nothing is best, we just need to know which one is suitable at the moment. Just remember that once time goes by, we cannot ever get it back, so let’s use it wisely.
The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to grow old and look upon their lives and realize they never took the time to do what they thought they were supposed to do or what they wanted to do or better yet feel they have wasted their lives. I don’t want you either to look back tomorrow and be filled with regrets. What is it you want to do? What is that vision you have been waiting for all these years to feature in? What is that passion that leaves you breathless every time you think about it? It’s time to get it done. Look for that cloud of confirmation and walk through it. Don’t let the time slip away from you. You may never get it back again. No matter your age, it is never too late to start using your time wisely and bearing good fruit. 

As believers, we do not mourn over the past, we simply let it go and move on. Joel 2:25 (KJV)  “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” We serve a God who specializes in total recovery and restoration and a perfect example is seen when He sent his only begotten son to come restore us back to our rightful place. All we need to do is let him in and allow him to manage us and our time instead of us managing Him. Your latter years can be even more fruitful than your former years if you determine today not to waste another minute, but to take dominion over every unproductive thing in your life and be fruitful every day. #You can do this….

Value of Adversity

I  spent most of my life thinking of adversity as the obstacle between me and success. Over the last three years, I've changed my perspective on adversity. The value of pursuing success isn't the success itself. The value comes from the adversity that you must overcome in the process AND who that forces you to become in the process. THAT is what is valuable. Let me give a concrete example. The value of striving to be a millionaire isn't the money itself. The value is in who you become in the process -- a person who has: overcome societal assumptions about what is and isn't possible;confronted and overcome self-limiting beliefs;discovered how to notice opportunities overlooked by others;learned to be of service to others;grasped the nuances of creating value for others. Most of the people i have come in contact with tend to be in high-income brackets. Some I've worked with over many years What I've found most remarkable isn't their financial success.

Days of Reckoning

I REMEMBER SAUDI 89' (THE SECOND HALF) Gone are the days when an intentional football match involving Nigeria would dry up the streets, with most people at home and glued to their TV sets. One of such games was during the Saudi 89' World Cup championship. Famously called,  THE MIRACLE OF DAMMAN- We were playing against USSR. Never mind, I won't bore you with the details. But by the end of the first half, we were practically down and out. With a 4-goal deficit to cope with, Most people switched off their sets. But in the second half we began to hear some shouts. And it appeared to increase with every shout. Before we knew it, the game turned around, and Nigeria won. Prior to this time, there was no record of such a feat in our history. Here we are at the second half of 2016. There's no telling that Nigeria and indeed most Nigerians have been hit hard, especially by the fast dwindling economy. Most folks have never had it this tough. And there seems to be little or no

The Altar and The Door

Five,Four,Three,Two,One! My New Year's resolution will be to loose 100 pounds,stop smoking,stop drinking,get into shape,eat healthy. "Two weeks later," OH,I give up". In life its easy to say things or set high goals but as time passes things get difficult and giving in to temptations seems to be the only way out. A Christian life,like new year resolutions,feels simple. It is all black and white while at the altar where "we know how to live and what direction to take",but after church,"somewhere between the "Altar and the Door" everything turns gray again. At the Altar Jesus expects us to leave everything that weighs on our shoulders to Him and not to leave with any when we walk out of the door. At the Altar we are full of confidence, we know who we are,what we are supposed to do,which road in life to take and how we are supposed to live. But the frustration comes however when we leave the Altar and have to take the things we left there with
