The anointing is simply the God’s thick presence in your life and the catalyst for our spiritual and physical survival and thrive. Really, what would become of us without the anointing?

The harvest is assured when God manifests His anointing power in your passionate actions.” If you have been living your life without God’s presence...

Empty Yourself.

Image
“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.” Christian D. Larson God is dominant in the life of each one of us. Therefore, it is our earthly duty to unveil and showcase that part of Him that most resonate our beings. It is not an error that you are here breathing and reading this at this very moment but a carefully orchestrated plan designed by the Master Craft. You are not a mistake, but a product of grace and mercy, most especially created for a unique and peculiar purpose, a purpose that is most attached with making this world a better place and having a deep reverential communion with the Father. That which we can only realize by surrounding ourselves with His presence and bowing down to His voice. You are here to empty yourself of all the goodies- dreams, passions, visions, strengths- that has been installed in you by the great and merciful hands of God. Let’s not forget what we are, an imag...

Give Your Life a Meaning

Image
“I have always believed and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.” Hermann Hesse Ascribing a meaning to our lives is a task that we ought to accomplish at the individual level. It is an internal dialogue that is totally unique to each one of us based on our divergent backgrounds, life experiences and people we have around us. It is a voice that we must obey and follow even though it is likely to lead us to temporarily unpleasant places. Whether we confess it or not, we are creating and recreating our lives by each passing second and we are doing this either consciously or unconsciously, building a future that we will be forced to live in. Life should be a thorough but progressive continuation of self-reinvention and actualization, taking cognizance of our past to examining where we are at this point and using whatever outcomes in predicting and anticipating the future. The f...

Focus on your Strength.

Image
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”- Thomas Paine Your strengths reflect God’s awesome power, a divine deposit bestowed on us to assist and accelerate our efforts toward the realization of our dreams and the fulfilment of our life’s work. That which is given to us so we can forge ahead with some ease in this turbulent storm called the journey of life. Life was never intended to be easy. The earth, a place where only heroes are celebrated and losers ignored, is a hard shelter we are temporarily housed and tested so that our being and character may be refined and recommended okay or otherwise for the next stage of our eternal life. Introspection, soul-searching and thoughtfulness should be considered if we must realize our deepest strengths and essence and progressively make effective use of them in fulfilling the reason(s) as to why we were...

Happiness Is Here and Now.

Image
“Life is a matter of passing the time enjoyably. There may be other things in life, but I’ve been too busy passing my time enjoyably to think very deeply about them.”- Peter Cook Happiness is present at very moment and not in any future. Let’s stop the waiting for one accomplishment or the other before we embrace happiness. If we cannot be happy at this very moment, then we are likely not to achieve the happiness we are very much in anticipation of, even after realizing set goals and objectives. Happiness is now, not in the past or in the future. Since happiness is the ultimate success most of us are endlessly searching for, then it must be consciously formed and embedded into our daily routines- similar to the way we take our bath daily to stay healthy. Happiness is laughing for no reason. Rejoice while you are still here and let your name become synonymous to happiness. Happiness is not a goal, but a by-product of knowing exactly who you are- a wonderful creation made ...

What Exactly Are You Building?

Image
“It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; it’s the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.” David Allan Coe Anything worth building requires patience, persistence, perseverance and dedication. These attributes must be maintained and properly aligned if we must give our building what it truly needs- a firm foundation. What exactly is your life about and what daily investments are you making for the future? It is better by far that we constantly seek answers to these mind-boggling questions even as we make attempts at working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Life will be meaningless and true happiness will be nothing but a mirage if we are not consciously building something of value for our future. The future is right now, at this present moment and not something to look forward to, else, we may miss out in life by building a structure that we will never see completed. A wise man once said that the best preparation for tomorrow...

Become Who You Are

Image
"If you don't know who you truly are, you'll never know what you really want." Roy T. Bennett Keep evolving into what you are, into that special and unique being that you were intended to be. Make up your mind to be willing to go to the dark places that your unique journey will lead you to. The dark places of discipline, commitment, patience, pain and perseverance.  We all feel that inkling, that quiet but persistent disturbance in our souls known as the call of duty tapping us gently and urging us to make the necessary steps that will propel us into becoming Grand Masters of whatever we might have chosen to venture into. Many are unable to answer to this clarion call and this is the reason why majority of us are just drifting through life without a meaningful purpose and with actually nothing to look forward to. We should endeavor to prayerfully make the conscious efforts and steps that will catapult us from average or below average into the shining star image ...

Greatness or Nothing

Image
"God has planted greatness in you. Let today be the beginning of a great adventure as you step into the gifts He's given you."- Joyce Meyer Whether you believe it or not, you were sent here to accomplish great things, to showcase your being for the betterment of humanity. God never created a mediocre and it is we humans that decide to become average limiting ourselves of the gr eat power that dwells within us. Decide to live your best life and make up your mind to be a conqueror. That is what will put a smile on God's face. Commit yourself to making God proud by working earnestly to developing yourself to full capacity. God is waiting on you to start walking in boldness and in faith then He will direct you according to the best pathway for your life as He has promised. He never ever goes back on His word so it is left for us to decide to use this trust to our advantage.

What Do You Want?

Image
“You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose and to do it courageously’- Steve Maraboli Seem like a simple question. A question that great men ponder on and little men avoid. A question that determines the outcome of our destinies. What do you want and how do you intend to live and impact your world? This is the question that we must all answer today and not tomorrow or next week. What is that task that you must accomplish to validate your time here on earth? Tackle it head-on and propel yourself to destiny. The difference between the great and the mediocre lies in their sense of purpose. The Great knows exactly what he wants and the price he has to be pay for its achievement. They make peace with the facts and get to work immediately. Once you are willing and ready to begin, the Lord will direct your footsteps and will guide you along the best pathway for your life as you begin to walk your divine path to greatness. Greatness is what ...

Never Seek Validation

Image
“A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.” ― Vernon Howard A validation seeker is more often than not a destiny loser. To seek validation or approval for your work and creativity is to dilute your spark. Be original, be real and just do your thing. Create and produce your works at your highest levels and try to be the best in anything your heart might have chosen for you. Live your life on your terms and do exactly what it is that you intend to do. Never allow the voice of the next man to rob of you off your passion and greatness. Make it your practice to run as far away as possible from destiny distorters. The sad thing is that some of these people actually wish you their very best and have very good intentions for your progress only if it is line with what they think is best for you. Take three steps backwards from such persons. Really, what is the point of mixing-up another man’s negativity...

Protect your Happiness

Image
“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?” Albert Einstein Find your happiness in the little things of life. Don’t wait until you reach your destined landmark to be happy but learn to be happy along the way. Do not make your yardstick of happiness too tall or you may be unhappy for a very long time. Happiness comes from being true and frank with yourself and letting nothing come in between you and your very original aspirations. Being happy is of importance if we intend to self-actualize. Protect your happiness and guard it jealously as it is an essential ingredient in your food of life. Make good efforts to understanding exactly what it is- activities, habits or hobbies that give you joy and a sense of fulfillment then do more of these things in mammoth measures. For example, reading and writing makes me very happy so I engage myself with these activities every day. I just never miss out! Life is quite short and frag...

The Story of the Heart

Image
“One love, one heart, one destiny”- Bob Marley The heart is a soft and delicate place. The center and operational hub of our soul. The heart is gifted and highly talented in deciding our outcomes as human beings and also known as the gravitational force of our daily decisions. Likened to a soft and teary little girl in constant need of emotional pampering and petting, she must be timely attended to else she falls ill and dies. The heart is always in constant conflict with the ideas of the brain but somehow manages to secure her position as the leader and master. This makes the brain sad and depressed but what can he do? The heart is often praised for her ruggedness and soft-tendered nature and graced with combining these two highly clashing attributes infused in a single organ. But that is her powerful nature and exactly what makes her different and unsurprisingly distinctive. This very organ is what determines the nature of man- evil or angelic or the combination of both at...

What Are You Mastering?

Image
“You are your master. Only you have the master keys to open the inner locks.”- Amit Ray To master anything- a Skill, a Vocation, an Art or a Business will mean a total and consistent devotion of your complete being- mind, body and soul and the application of your best self into whatever it is you have chosen to master. Until you are ready to achieve this feat, mastery which is already a herculean task, will keep eluding you and hence, become impossible to achieve. What is it you are trying to master? Pour out your soul on it. Dedicate and block out a particular time of the day towards its achievement and make it your duty to be consistent with your practice. Become obsessed with it and never look back once you begin. Mastery is the accumulation of little but consistent efforts built up over time. In other words, mastery is never a one-time event but series of events practiced religiously. Become more mindful of your being and know what it is you are trying to master...

7 Ways to Feel Good About Yourself

Image
1.       Be Grateful . Gratitude is wisdom. Gratitude is being appreciative for what you have and where you are now. Gratitude is being thankful even in the midst of challenges and setbacks. It is sincerely being grateful about the fact that things would have been far worse than they are right now. Gratitude is a prayer of its kind and one of the best ways to secure greater blessings. Gratitude will open more doors. Acknowledging the good that you already have is the foundation for all abundance. 2.       Exercise Frequently .

Stop Wasting your Days

Image
“A man who dares to waste an hour of his time has not discovered the value of life.”- Charles Darwin A new day is a brand new gift and a brand new blessing. A day no one has ever seen before that has in it immense opportunities. The gift of time is indeed the ultimate blessing yet many of us are still unaware. We just stroll in and out of a new day with nothing concrete to show for it. This lackadaisical attitude should cease immediately if you ever want to amount to anything. Your time is your best resource and unlike money, if wasted, can never be recovered. Your time is your destiny. Your time is your life and your time is you. Embrace your time today and endeavor to squeeze out its rich juice. Rape every bit of it and be unapologetic in doing so. You owe no one an explanation. Understand that each moment is sacred and you should learn to treasure it. Be mindful of your time and double your efforts towards the realization of your dreams. Never allow a day to pass without ...

Educate your Mind First

Image
  "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he”- Holy Bible The education of the mind and self is of utmost importance if we ever intend to progress from where we are to our future desired destination. One of the most awesome discovery of the Twenty-First Century is that “Human beings can alter their lives by altering their minds.” You are an embodiment of thoughts and you are exactly what you think about. Where you are at this moment and this day is a direct reflection of what you have been thinking about. Think success and you will be successful likewise think mediocrity and you will be a mediocre. Yes, it is that simple. We cannot continually entertain negative thoughts of fear, anxiety, depression etc. and expect positive outcomes in our lives. That will be like planting a mango seed and expecting to harvest cocoyam. Impossible!     Just like how we water our plants to grow, we must water our minds regularly to expand its muscles. You may educate your min...

Don't Go With the Flow

Image
Flow here is described as the acceptance of a general pattern of living, usually configured by society whose values and belief systems are super-imposed on and accepted by weak minds. Flow is synonymous to mediocrity. Flow which many of us have accepted or accepting is both a conscious and unconscious ploy against our unique destinies. Obviously, each and every one of us is a distinct being, created with unique talents and abilities inherent in our souls. So accepting to go with the flow is always cancerous to the soul. Notwithstanding, it is easier to go with the flow because for most people, seeking and meditating deep into our spirits in search of answers on why we are here, has always proved a difficult task. This should not be surprising because most of us will rather die than to engage our brains with simple thinking. Whether we like it or not, we were created for something specific, something only you can do and fulfill on this earth. There has been no one dea...

In the Dark

Image
  Darkness explains struggle. Darkness hopes a possibility of light. In the dark the Great are born. Your present darkness will pave the way for your rebirth. Most of us have and will experience darkness in our life time. Darkness may mean harsh struggles, hopelessness, confusion and sadness. It is in this ordeal that the human mind wittingly develops a means of adaption and innovation. It is through this process that the great are thoroughly defined and the weak give-up on what would have become their destinies. We cannot afford to disregard this bitter-sweet process that refines us into what we are supposed to become. Let’s all learn to embrace the change, hug the struggle and know for sure that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Stay put in the tussle and don’t give up. Your rewards you will reap in due time. The difficulties will help to forge a way to your mastery and build you into a better specie with an uncanny ability to adapt to any form of change. ...

Start Working on your Legacy

Image
Life should be lived intentionally, well strategized and mapped out if we intend to make the best out of it. Now is the time to develop a blue-print for your future and to make the rest of your life the best of your life. Think and meditate on how you wish to be remembered and get to work immediately. Start creating your legacy today and fight for your place in history. You are worth far more than you think you are. You are God’s image and possess immeasurable gifts and talents. You had better start believing. Whatever your mind can conceive, it can achieve. It’s time to be the achiever you were created to be. Your legacy is why you are here. What is the point of dying and not be remembered spectacularly? That will be a precious waste of life. Ask God for guidance, define your path and stay true to it. Live thoroughly and let your works in whatever form it may take, be a blessing to you and others. God has done His part in blessing us with different skills and talents and our gi...

Don’t Think Twice

Image
Don’t Think Twice Many thought twice and missed it. Many thought twice and woke up Eighty-Five. Many thought twice and are now in the grave with wasted talents and unfulfilled potentials. Many are still thinking twice as we speak. Are you one of them? Thinking twice breeds doubt and slows you down and you don’t want to be slowed down in this fast moving and uncertain place. That idea has been troubling your heart for ages now and you are still thinking twice. Act now before you wake up a granny soaked in tears of regrets and despair of inaction. Do it now and stop living in the fool’s paradise called procrastination. Act now and ask questions later. Stop that unending research and answer the wakeup call of your soul. It is your ethical and moral duty to satisfy the God-imposed desire of your heart. Stop riding aimlessly and begin with your journey finally. Start taking massive actions now towards the realization of your goals and dreams. Take the step today and witness a ...
