You are most welcome in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

YOUR DESTINY IS A FUNCTION OF YOUR DECISION  There is no doubt, whatsoever, about the fact that we all have great and beautiful destinies. Our lives are beautifully planned and designed by God. And I believe vehemently that we are not just here by chance. No! Each of us has a purpose to fulfil on earth. And you know what? Living for that purpose is what gives meaning to your existence. However, God has given to us the power with which we can decide our destinies. It is the power of decision, which can otherwise be referred to as the power of choice. Decisions are so critical that they determine what ultimately becomes of one in life. This is one thing I like you to understand: your destiny is not something that is completely exclusive on its own. Your destiny is inherent in you. Your destiny is not what you will find outside of you. It is right there within you. God has creatively designed what you are destined to be inside of you at creation. So, the sole responsibility ...

THERE IS A KING IN YOU The key to discovering yourself and fulfilling your destiny “And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.”   – 1 Samuel 16:1 Stated above were the words of the Lord, which he said to Samuel, the prophet, while he (Samuel) was still interceding for Saul – the king. Saul had earlier gone against the commandment of God by failing to fully carry out the instruction God gave to him. God had sent him to go and exterminate the amalekites but he acted in disobedience to what God told him by sparing the king and the best of the spoils – an act which greatly displeased God, and eventually led to his rejection as king. Now, what am I trying to bring out from here? Let’s look at the scripture again, “And the Lord said unto Samuel. How long wilt thou mourn for Sa...

THE ESSENCE OF EDUCATION   There is undoubtedly no question about the fact that the most effective tool of development in our contemporary society is education. The absolute relevance and the significance of education to the growth and development of any society need not be overemphasized. It’s impact is much felt in all spheres of life and in all areas of human endeavors. It has enabled man to find answers to some critical questions – not only about himself – but also his world. The great advancement in development that has so much characterized our contemporary world is owned to nothing but education. The major inventions and discoveries that are being made about the world can never be possible without the effectiveness of education. And I believe vehemently that if we are going to experience greater development in our individual lives and our society, in which we live, at large, education must be given the greatest priority.  However, there is this ignorance of...

GETTING YOURSELF READY FOR DESTINY   It is a fact: we all have great destinies and God has colorful futures for everyone of us. There is nobody in this life who is not destined to be great. We are not in this world just to fill up empty spaces. No! We are created for a purpose – which is contained in our destiny. However, many of us fail to walk in the realities of our destinies because of our lack of preparation. It is true that you have a great destiny but you have to work your way through to get it fulfilled; else, you will never realize it.  In life we are not meant to be passive but active. You have to take responsibility for your life and work out your own future and destiny. Nothing in life happens by chance or by trials and errors. Everything happens by choice. Whatever choice you make is what determines the outcome of your life. Your destiny will never come to meet you; rather, you will be the one to work your way through and meet it. Like I said earlier, your ...

UNLEASHING THE HIDDEN GENIUS IN YOU  "It's not that I'm so "It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer". Quoted above were the words of a man, whom almost everyone acclaimed to be a "genius". In fact, he is said to be a genius among geniuses. He is an embodiment of pure intellect. A foremost scientist indeed. One of the most prominent thinkers ever walked the planet earth. I would call him an "intellectual giant". This man, in his quote, "it's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer", reveals to us the mystery behind his intellectual capability. It can be deduced from this statement of his that the reason why he seemed to be extraordinarily smart was due to the fact that he stayed with problems longer. He's trying to tell us that his level of smartness, though exceptional, was not exclusive. It can also be attained by anybody. What do I want ...

TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU HAVE TO BE SUCCESS-FULL   Developing the mind set of success Success, as we all know, is highly subjective in definition, as it is best determined by an individual. Success is undoubtedly one of the things - if not the greatest - that is greatly desired in all spheres of life. However, I discovered that majority of us do not really have the correct and proper orientation of what success is - an ignorance which, I believe, has caused many to be unsuccessful. There's something very important I like to call our attention to, which is crucially needed for us to make success in all of our endeavours in life. Success, in life, begins with one's mindset. It is more of having the right mindset than having the right resources, to achieve success. The kind of mind you have towards success determines how successful you become in life. If you develop the right mindset, when it comes to success, you are most advantaged to achieve success. The mind is a crit...

UNRAVELLING THE MYSTERY OF THE HUMAN NOMENCLATURE I like us to understand the significance of the name "HUMAN BEING". There are two words that are absolutely important to human existence : "beings and doings" . These two words are essentially interconnected.  They give definition to our life.  The totality of our life  is summed up in these two words. "Doing", as the name implies, is simply what we do - our undertakings . While "being" is whom  we are. You see in life, who we are coupled with what we do is the essence of living .  The salient importance of what we do, and the absolute significance of who we are, cannot be overemphasized . They are as important as the breath in our nostrils . Now, I like us to take cognizance of the fact that we are called "human beings", and not "human doings". A critical look at this will help us to understand that our life, as our name implies ,is about who we are not what we...
