Let your life be celebrated

Living is one great priviledge we enjoy from the creator. For His pleasure He awards a life worth so much. One that has on its account much achievements, and yet even more to come. So when I get up every morning like many others do, I thank God for that day, for the priviledge of life, and yet I think of those less priviledged. It seems strange but the obvious is that some day I may have to get up and realise some one close to me does not share that priviledge anymore. It does not quite signal who will give up that priviledge nor who will want to hand over back to God. Sometimes, it is that very healthy close acquaintance, the one you least imagine now live no more. It does not discriminate, atleast while we have lived to pursue anything that will may take us far from others, this is the one thing we can not widen the gap between humans. Not with our ability or power. So many of us have placed an edge over how much we can accumulate, just too much sometimes so that we are so far away from the very essence of life and the emminent question; how will your life be celebrated when you pass on? Do you really want to be just a paser by creating no impact on issues of the life you once shared? Well, in my opinion, it is better to leave away silently, unnoticed than to be noticed as the one that wanted all in the world yet none could be used to celebrate the life s/he lived.

So we are urged therefore to be ready because we don't know the day. But when the day comes we must be sure the question of celebrating our life is settled. Behold the gazillionaire ambition will barely draw you even further from being remembered than the little gesture of offering crumbs to the begger on the street.It really is funny how in present day we have seek to describe life, it is to most how much we can attract even to the detriment of others. Some of us do take our best meal when there are many hungry around us. We just want to be worshipped in our possesion despite the many that go empty around us. What is amazing is how much this is so part of those that where just not better many years or days ago. So I asked, how fast have you forgotten you were just in the same place like them that you watch go a day long without food, or without home, or just basic hope for the next day.

While I pray not to be seen here as a critic of the current system, but to share light in what man is far more loosing sight from, I may want to quote that , the attitude I seek to denounce is more or less common in the house of God these days. They that worship every day and sings great songs to His creator are basically thesame that walk the street daily watching others peril. They spend more time in His house, seeking breakthroughs in their financial and material life than pray for hope to the hopeless. They have exchange His love to His confirmation to very selfish pursue. Oh, it took me a long time to go around somewhere and listen someone preach of love, peace or even faith, yet I get it always how popular it is to preach of material fulfillment. See how fast they have forgotten that we must seek His kingdom first, or that we will someday leave all that we are doing anything to acquire.

There are though a group that will take anything in the name of God, so just brand death in the name of God and see how many will die! Behold even to you oh friend, who searches for miracle anywhere, that some come with a price. Belief that, the man that give to you smiling comes back asking will anger. They that preach love do so only when they so badly want your love than to love you. Oh, see how life has fast become an episode where you only look for what benefit your desires.

I could just keep this going, but the question I seek to answer here is what better way will your life be celebrated. Just as we celebrate the life of christ today. Well, this is a tough road to travel in the present world. You will be laughed at, rejected and even framed. Sometimes you will give in peace but it will be accepted in war. You will feel genuine love for fellow man, but it will be changed to envy. They will run after you with challenges and tempt your every action, just to divert the motive. In all, expect this from the world of today, not even in the house of worship you go even so often would you expect better than you must in your life accomplish to be celebrated. While I am in no way criticising worshiping together with others, or the very acts above that may be abused, I tell you, that is the reason why your life will be celebrated. You must overcome all that, you must do it when it is right and let that which comes after be fought by God. We must match words with actions. We must not wait to ask the cause before joining to love. We must offer ourself to the service of the world even for no price and hatred and envy. We must rise above that littleness of mans greed and selfishness, we must look beyond the womb of a woman that bore us to the essence of the life around us. Afterall, the reality is just recycling of thesame tricks played to our master. You too can be celebrated, but first think little of yourself than you do for others.

So go on, and start planning the celebration, wait not when you are no more, then there will be no one to plan for it. Make the party the way you want it look. Fight the good fight of faith, love endlessly, give with no strings, offer for the service for others and keep your reward to God.

Reach for the Good of others

Dear Friend
I write this personal letter to you. I hope you have the best from thesame life I assume we both have priviledge of.I am equally fine and I can not stop thanking the great Lord for the trust and confidence He has granted me this year. He has made me incharge of so much that I feel pleasant to acknowledge His infinite wisdom in choosen just what is good for me. I like to trumphet in the highest tone to you that, if you have tried every other thing, try Him. He is a simple and less complicated lord. You do not need to pray so high or long for him to listen. He will not add a premium to what certainly He belief is yours because of the lenght of your prayers or the number of scriptures you can memorise. He will not cast out even the good because you say He should cast them out. Your hardship will not shy away simply because you denounce them when you must confront them with Courage. You remember David, he has been an astonishmet to me this days because of his courage infront of Golliath. But what amaze me more is the foundation of this courage- God. But he just needed to believe in God. You too can be so couragoeus as David, but remember to always question your source.

In this time of silence a lot has happened to me, I have actually 3 years to worry about my residence, I earn scholarship to study what I study now, I have a lovely wife and son and above all, I gain access to God's truth, the one that has led me through this point. I now question what I really did to arrive at this point. But I see that the secret is merely the obvious which we ignore ofcourse. REACHING FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS. I have done so much of that, especially during the period when my hardtimes compound. I have believed in God and His purpose in my life. I knew if He wanted onething from me, it was basically how I assume I was in His place, what I will do for others. Just like in the great commandment, I thought if I could do unto others more than what I will like them do unto me, it will trill my Lord, and yes it did. I ask you a question this day, how often have been reaching to the good of others? Do you remember the poor begger you passed around everyday on your way to work or school but you concluded he has the hands to work,what of that orphanage back home you promised God maybe unconciously but you keep questioning why he/she loose the parents, how are you going to be there for the needy when you question their stories. There are also the blind, the poor and even the sick. I will tell you one thing you may not want to hear; what you are today is better than yesterday and it is not just stages in life, you are very favoured. I know some who are far behind where they were yesterday. You never imagine what your account reads or your pay package reports will be true in your life one day. Well, in my life, I have interpreted any suprise as a mission by the lord to share.

Now take the command phrase, go out now and be there for the good of them in need, of them with plenty though, and see what happens tomorrow. You will live to expect a new prize for God every new day, why? because you have understood the secret of sowing in the vineyard of God. I leave you this day with love and peace. I will be asking God for goodwill and truth to share this words when we meet again.

Peace

Make your life a field of opportunities

Field of Opportunities


Make your life a field of opportunities; Let everyone know you as a milestone bridge to a long forth struggle; they should call you a support pillar in a drowning sea of hailstorm; they should know you as the last step, most needed, that gave them a dream in their life.You were there to make the difference when one was needed.


These are the power phrases that runs through my mind when I chatted with my sibling. The one I admire amongst the 8 of us in our parents.His actions so often have been full of courage and energy, determination and conviction to succeed, yet it has always been in the wrong direction, so he obviously must be use to failing. Yet he keeps daring in those areas which to me seems the obvious, that he will still fail.I said to myself, that if only there was someone out there in his life to make that difference, rather than looking for connections to facilitate his endeavours,he will just succeed with the first try. It begs the question that, why do we keep failing when we put on our best; we just go around blaming circumstances and people for the reason of our failures and yet we seldom blame ourself. In this piece, the center of my concern is that, we can turn around the blame and just focus on what we did wrong, ammend and continue. In life, life so complex, when it is quite hard to impact the attitude of others , I understand it will not be as hard to impact our own attitude and way of thinking. The reality is, we are often the problem and for many reasons we are just too polite to accuse our own self.There are many pundits out there who will ask, what problem is theirs if they are victimised because of the race of their birth, or simply because of some natural set back? Well I say to you, it becomes your problem because you are pushed by someone to recognise what by nature you inherit is a set back rather than a pride and starter for that great mission that brought you to life. I see in you an opportunity that lies in your natural state than the failure others recognise in you. I say, start changing the view that is most cases depletes the energy in you than sap in from the earth even more energy. You will only reluctantly admit others with thesame natural conditions somewhere have manage to pass these treshold of setback. But remember they have refuse to accept what the world suggest they are than what they they really are.





The question I seek to address here is, how can we really change this misopportunities to opportunities? Well, it is very simple my friends, you will have to reduce your reliance on those you have crown as life support and belief in yourself. Take the new road to freedom and begin the journey. What journey you may ask? Well what of, rather than crowning people as indispensible in your life or giving them praises for what they certainly deserve, yet you would have made it without them, yet others will give you thesame praises. I call on you oh man to leap far pass that line that limits you to what people think you are to what you really are. Only in that pursuit will you really find out who you are and begin the journey to the hall of fame. In my ussual command phrase, I urge you to see somewhere around you and do something about your self than complaining about what is wrong with others. Stop complaining about the systems of things because when it changes you will keep complaining because you are not using this time to plan for better times. I tell you, you father or mother may be quite instrumental to you prospect buy seize not to see what harm they cause. When they make you feel you can not make it without their support. It is same with that friend you can do all for him just because you belief s/he must stand for you to succeed in anything.I do not say reject anyone, but I say, be the leader to drive the results you desire and be ready to blame yourself when you fail. The secret is that you can easily make ammends when it is you than others.

Well I have good news for you, everyman is created to make things happen, you too can be a happener- Just belief in your self and the ability endowed in you by the source, the creator and supreme nature.

Profound Love-Valentine Day reflection

The foundation of Profound Love

Pondering all day long on the verification of ideal love, one which makes a meaning to every human life on earth, one that discriminate not or even seeks the highest preference of human mediocrity as often expressed in material relationships. So deep and touching this thought runs down my every meditation with illusions of what the meaning of eternally bounded love may signify to mortals like us. Seemingly the first cross as mortals we carry in living is the mutual obligation we owe to confer reciprocal love to those far and near our areas of everyday intervention. So in His image we share this common heritage which as a rule, permit love without boundary, compassion to the deprived and solitude, allegiance to family hegemony and above all else acknowledgement of that which out of our earthly harbours we prepare for in life beyond.

Self egoism is one issue I will like to address here, mighty a lapse we fall on yet minimised even at the very mentioned of the word. When we abundantly earn a possession, we are by right entitle as governors/governess of this treasure to replicate to those short of. Consistent in the light that no one has all he/she needs, and love what you have; we are call upon as the psalmist to render a common supplication even to those who has less of what we have much. We are urging in this mind touching reflection to see life as a wind that flies across every breath and love a principle of not unflinching this divine generosity from others. Therefore loves breeds antiquity that destroy envy, jealousy, witch hunting, backstabbing and occultism in high offices, misappropriation of divine benediction and in large and wide segregation in all its form. Somehow as lovers we must anticipate the perfect union between the first groom of every human life- conscience, seek its happiness by acting in consonance to her approval, then from that point we start viewing life as a supreme gift from one who loves us.

The Myth of love
To what honour we deserve this reflection? is the question I seek to answer here. There is much concern I find daunting in the way we express and share this vision of love. Almost just limited to erotic digestion or innocent wish to friends is just questionable. How much love can we share to those we care anyway, when in our hearts there are some we despise to the full scorn of a dreaded heart? By and large we create enmity every new second, take actions that impedes others peaceful enjoyment of life, or worst still, crown our self prince and princesses over others, on the throne of our present achievements in this very life. By the legacy of our intelligences and family heroism we look unto others as the next soul song pretentious peace perfect peace and form the dust we enjoy trampling on. The vices of ostentatious love are far more implicative than the film of past horror. In this humble suggestion, and to you as well as others, your personal judgement counts, perhaps if this does no good to change selfish hearts, accumulate love and dissipate grudges; it will at least incite a meticulous haunt in the hearts that seeks the truth. Who loves you more than yourself? See your own palms as an obstacle erected by thy guilt against eternal Love.

Good and only God, in thy wish we have always wanted to act what by birth we knew, but life on earth has changed us, teach us the truth of our actions and let lessons be the fruits.Life is a trailer, with your own you can do many things!!!!

If it makes you feel like love, make it a wonderful opportunity to share this to 5 others.

I have been Trying..

I have been Trying..
I have been trying! UH*; Why will you try, just get it. Why will you drop your treasure on the floor and refuse to stoop low for it because someone will laugh at how low you can go. Or the world will describe you from behind. It is yours, just get it. These are the phrases of command I altered during a phone conversation with my wife. To me these kind of phrases are just quite obvious, they come out from my mouth before I even realise saying something. In most cases, I am hushed back by an alarmed excitement from those I speak to. You just realise the strength of what you say and when you get this alarms that tells me, you have finally got the audience off guard his/her limitations. I tell them at that time; Rise over your limitation, Rise up, you are more than just that.

As we inhabit mother earth, with its finest, so truly bestow to our reach, we/you can reach where ever you want to and can have whatever you want. You can posses riches and at the same time decide to be poor. You can stay in your own disease as long as you want to yet feel a sense of wellness- Just want it!! Why have we, so reduce our efforts to be the ones that keep trying to get it and never get it, when we are ordain with having it from birth. If you just don't get it at first try, then you certainly did not prepare well for it. Certainly and this is obvious, we are either so over confident or pessimistic, that, we skip the very lessons that only prepare us for the right answers. When you shun hardship, why will you expect to triumph over pressure and storms that come along with some components demanding perseverance. Why of course will a silver spoon child not dies with the very mention of people eating with rusted metals? The child was born to know only silver spoon I guess. ARE YOU BORN TO KNOW ONLY SILVER SPOONS?

Now walk with me through the corridor of power. Just believe and you have it. Getting to believe though is an earn that formulates from constant rehearsals of hope and faith. Rehearse Faith and Hope? Yes, you must, for you will not have what you don't desire and to desire you must hope is the right thing you want. Now faith only comes in to deliver and that is a believer- a feeling that comes up every time you desire. So when I tell folks that I am not use to getting the answer wrong, they mistake it for pride. It only reminds me of my dad, most complemented for this knowledge I share here. He will beat the hell out of me when I end up 4th in a hardly fought contest. The question always comes up; those that come up first, are they different from you? So as I walk home from school at end of term with eyes full of tears, I merely mourn the beatings that will come for being the 4th in my class. There are some who want me to think of it this way- I am better than many!! That must have been an ungrateful father. Well as he secretly reminded me to see the beauty of every situation. I phrase it this way; trying to see the beauty in worst things; but wouldn't it be nice to see the beauty in beauty itself? Try to do that and see what beauty is in beauty itself.Man naturally is born selfish for the right reasons yet we fail to apply it. If every time you think you are beautiful then the best will come out from you before trying to appease of how many fall behind you than how many run ahead of you.

Now I tell you, peace, joy, wealth, health, knowledge and all I cannot but remember here, exist around and can be refine to the best you want in your life. They are yours and fail not to claim it. NEVER TIE IT ON ANY MORTAL IMAGE. Just find that beauty in beauty. Remember you are beauty and every other thing is not as beautiful as you are.

May the gentle souls that seek what truly is his/hers find it in full; May thy confinement be true and full; Keep limitations for the weak and strongly head for what you possess. No one is born with more blessing than others, yet the magnitude of the blessings we attract vary. There are some that are the very barriers to theirs and there are others that keep counting theirs day after day. WHICH ARE YOU??

Guest Edition- Faith Series

Faith Series
Private Email from My wife

For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (Mark 11:23)

The Lord Jesus in the scripture above gave us the recipe for effecting a change in any situation. To change any seemingly hopeless situation, what u need do is to declare faith-filled words; talk to the mountain. Sadly, some folks, instead of talking to the mountain choose rather to talk about the mountain and that’s not going to change things.

As long as you’re discussing ur challenging situations rather than eyeballing them and commanding a change, you’re not going to get the result the Lord Jesus spoke about-the mountain won’t move. Perhaps you’ve been having financial difficulties, problems left & right; it’s time to speak to that situation and cause a change!

God gave you a mouth-not just for eating, but so you can speak and effect the changes you desire. Quit telling others about what you’re going through. Stop complaining to God about your predicament; command a change in the Name of Jesus! Talk to whatever seems to be a mountain before you right now; whether it’s in your body, your finances, your home, or your academics. Declare the word of God in faith and surely there’ll be a change. Faith doesn’t speak and watch to see the mountain go; faith considers the mountain gone once it has spoken!
You are so blessed!
Yvy.

Knight of SEX


Medal of Honour, Knight of SEX ?
Answer a true call of honour and be a knight of your own principles. Be willed and diligent; brave and audacious; admit to mistakes and stand to what you belief in. These are the key phrases I whispered within me when I met my co workers talking on sex and honour. I wasn't so concern about the topic until, I was attack directly as usual, that I am afraid to approach a girl- I don’t get enough sex as I ought to. To me that was a complement rather than an insult. It was a verifier to my principles, rather than a catalyst to set me up for the dream of a Casanova. However, at the very end of the discussion, we all agreed on one thing, that it takes the willed man to overcome tempted sex. I added no doubt that, we are neither super normal nor irresponsive of all evil I have seen in this world, to subdue sexual temptations.

As long as my creed leads me to, I will always want to bring out the beauty of everything I know even sex. Sex is one of the most blessed complements of life. It is truly ordain by the same God that created the organs we used for the purpose of Sex. Sex is the most sacred summit of love. It is the climax of our affection. It must be shared by a one we respect and value of all time to be by us and share our common desires. When two agree and meet together they attract the proper spiritual assistance in life. They sap together a powerful force so strong enough to overcome life huddles. But when one goes out for a third party, you betray that bond and create a crack on what you both have built. It will be adventurous oh man, to think sex taste different with different people. It is just one epic of events ending with one goal, that deeply delivered satisfaction. The ornament of true feeling comes from that moment when the two meet. These moments can be visualised in distant relationship to bring back life and hopes of re-meeting. It can keep a living partner mourn with little affection for any replacement in the world even after one partner eternally rest. And if you so need to restate your affection over again, it will create a sample of what you may seek to attain elsewhere.

Well, I try to open my eyes to the fame that comes from the world. When you can afford sex to every man or woman before you, the worlds sees you with honour. You may want to set tuition to teach mean spirits how to become like you- a sexual predator. I dare call this wasteful time in the short hour of our own very existence in this world. When sex-most-sacred came to the world as a part to live with human, we embraced it first with innocence and later with such ego. I get tempted to say just every great man and woman needs it yet on her knees they have fallen in their number. So why will anyone feel you must become the next messiah because all women or men know the size of your bed. Or you must be awarded a medal of honour because you breathe out and girls/men follow you to your room. Have you forgotten so soon that your next door neighbour fell because of the same thing you pride yourself with? When the number of sex victims double every new day, having the logo of STDs, when will man come to see warning signs and call off the struggle. The wise must seek the all mighty and powerful spirit to stand as guard before we are tempted.

Even man in our daily life, when we offer a gift with good intent we feel so satisfy when it is received with gladness and respect. Though it is no more yours, we are not impressed to ever notice our very intention in this gift is mislead or misunderstood. So mistake not the silence of the supreme conscience for dumbness, the source and creator of all we might think we own, His eminent and adorable still wants His intention on SEX stay. Well, when you offer to someone you love, it must not mean you keep quiet as you watch the same gift set in ruin or misrepresented with carelessness and pride, callousness and exploitation. You don’t want it treated with disrespect and scorn lest you retaliate and regain possession. God feels that way; He feels we have really misplace the meaning of sex in our life and strike back to this in many ways. You will never think for one moment that I am against SEX. No, don’t get me wrong, I just think it has loose it real meaning in our race. Its value has swiftly eroded, such that, the privacy of man has leap far behind. Sex remains the climax of deep affection, yet the knees upon which great minds bow. It attracts humour and horror which the worlds soon mistake to call it HONOUR. Honestly sought it will build strong pillars upon which peace and blessing rest. Lest the fathom spirit of pride and fame take your life before you really own it, you will consider it a good advice to shun from being famous because of sex. If you must, keep it most sacred as it must be, for God so create the world, in His infinite wisdom offered this moment for a purpose to man. Man that defy this rule will wait at the doors of heaven while angels pass by offering no help to your misfortune, God forbid it does not result from your sexual missteps.
