Save our children, preserve our glory and future

Where is our sense of humanity, humility and godliness? It is a pity we are failing humanity because of our nonchalant attitude towards the less privileged and the hopeless ones in our societies. I beseech you all: save our children and secure our future.

They do not belong to the street. They do not belong to the road side. They do not deserve the poor attitude and negligence towards them. They belong to the future; they are our future. They are what we should look up to, and it will be a

topic 144: Placing your Pain Above your Dream!

Placing Your pain above your dream!

Three things make us give up so easily in life. It is either you just live with no dream at all, or you have one but you don’t think it is ever worth fighting for, and finally, it is because we place our pains far above our dreams.

Because of the weight and burden of the pain or the suffering the people above us or our environment subject us, we tend to put aside the dreams we carry just to exhaust the pain we bear. We put the burden of our shame, our failures, our mistakes, our pasts, our status, our abuse, etc. far above the dream we need to nurture.

The previous two factors are of high significance also, but for the purpose of this article, I will be focusing more on the last factor, which is placing your pain above your dreams.

If your dream is more important than your pain, then you will forgive yourself of the mistakes you made yesterday, and give yourself another chance. If your dream is stronger than your pain, you will fend off the abuse and gossip of those people (friends and enemies) around you. If your dream is more important, you will not be intimidated by the words of those people that are saying ‘you can never make it in life’. If your dream is more important, you will not give up because of the failure of the past. If your dream is more important, the way your superior is treating you will not derail you off your focus. If your dream is more important, you will give no consideration to those that refuse to believe in you. If your dream is more important, you will not be carried away by critics and criticism.

Many dreams have died, some fizzled out and some crumbled along the way; not because there was no intrinsic ability to make it come to pass, but because they wouldn’t overcome the pain and the test of time. Even our Lord Jesus Christ was almost giving up, but He quickly realized the greater dreams and glories ahead of him, and ultimately he placed His potential glories above the present pains. He encountered emotional and physical pain, but He kept on pushing through the pains, knowing fully well the crown that awaits him.

Pain doesn’t last forever; it only comes to teach, leaving behind a scar.  It is always for a short time, but irrespective of the nature or magnitude of the pain, it has come to make a mark. Not just an ordinary mark, but the one that will either make you stronger and better or it destroys you forever. How your pain turns out to be is in your hand. Never give up because hope is alive.

topic 129: Before You Commit the Suicide, Read this! (episode 1)

I understand pretty well what you are passing through right now. I understand how it feels the way you are feeling. I understand you have nobody you can trust with this issue. I understand no other ear should hear this. I understand the psychological and mental pain is too much for you to bear. I understand everything just seem to be working against you right now.

I understand it seems everything is falling apart for you. I understand you think resorting to death seems to be your best shot to terminate the pain, the struggle and the unfortunate situations you are passing through right now. I wouldn’t blame you or

Look at the sky, it is big enough for everybody to shine. You know the beauty of that top you are dreaming of? There are many spaces at the very top, but there are no much vacant seats.

108: MY 2016 TESTIMONIES, MY FAILURES, MY TEARS AND MY APPRECIATION

Almighty God, I thank you sincerely for another adventurous and amazing year, 2016. For my life, for the lives of my families, my friends, my enemies (in case they exist, but I doubt I have one), for my state (Ogun), for my nation (Nigeria) and for everything I might not remember.

2016 was another year not to forget. Is it my failures, my struggles, my pains, my adversaries, to mention a few? But at the end, God gave me the reason to appreciate Him the more. In 2016, I was able

topic 87: YOU HAVE GOT NO EXCUSE FOR FAILURE IN LIFE

YOU HAVE GOT NO EXCUSE FOR FAILURE IN LIFE

As a student, you forgot to submit your assignment but you didn’t forget to eat before you go out. Will you be boastful enough to justify the former against the later? Even forgetfulness may not be an excuse for failure in life.

As there is practically no excuse for doing wrong, there is no excuse for failure in life. The most interesting thing is that

topic 79: THE PAIN WILL NOT LAST; DON’T LET IT LEAVE A LASTING SCAR

THE PAIN WILL NOT LAST; DON’T LET IT LEAVE A LASTING SCAR

I don’t know what you are passing through right now. I don’t know what makes you cry in the closet; that thing that you secretly wipe your tears off just to avoid friends from noticing. I don’t know the burden in your heart that is too heavy for you to carry.

One thing I know is that the pain will not last forever. It is for a while; it is for a short moment. The tears will no longer be there. The burden will disappear. Pain is a visitor. It has no dwelling place in human’s life. It comes to teach you a

topic 37: A LITTLE HELP; A BIG SMILE

Remember "not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much". It is not a function of how much you give, neither is it measured on how big it looks. It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving. Even a smile, a hug and a shake, with a deep and genuine sense of it can go a long way putting smile on another person’s face.

It means more than you may think. It makes the person feel loved; feeling loved tells the fellow that some people out there still care; and the feelings of “being cared for” reignites hope for tomorrow.

Are you still there

JOIN THE LEAGUE NOW, REACHING OUT TO THE LEAST

JOIN THE LEAGUE NOW: We want to reach out to the world, touch and save the dying lives, give hope for the hopeless, help the less privileged, bring people out from the miry clay, be the voice for the voiceless... They are out there. The live in pain, eat in pain, drink in pain, think in pain...  
                                        

These set of people are usually referred to as the “less privileged”; some call them the needy. Whichever name you use, have it in mind they are not just people who need your money, they also need your love and care. You don’t need to be a billionaire before you can help others. 

There are little things you can do to make an impact in

Topic 29: LOVE OR HATRED? WHAT DO YOU INTEND BOXING THIS YEAR? #ishopealive

Is hope alive? It is another boxing day. You had a merrymaking moment with a joyous heart yesterday, but you forgot that there are some less-privileged out there who could not even afford a bit of all you had for Christmas. What you have today is not as a result of the fact that you know how to do it better. It is not as a result of the fact that you are the best. It is just a grace.

Feel the pain of the poor people in your society. Feel the pain of the less-privileged. Feel the pain of the sick. Feel the pain of the hopeless. Feel the pain of the prisoners. Feel the pain of the helpless. Feel the pain of the lepers. Who said you are better than these people? They are human beings like you. They deserve all you deserve. They deserve to be respected and shown an unconditional love. Is hope alive?

What do you want to share this season?

Do you want to pay back evil for evil?

Do you want to pay back evil for good?

Do you want to give to people

Topic 13: YOUR FEAR OF TOMORROW (FEAR= FUTURE EXPECTATION APPEARING ROUGH) PART ONE

Is hope alive? Fear has made me lost my first true love. Fear has made me lied to people I shouldn’t have lied to. Fear has given me an emotional and physical scar I would never forget in my life. Fear has made me stopped where I should have continued moving.

Fear has blinded me where I should have seen clearly. Fear has been a pain in my ass and an ache in my heart. And when I summed up everything I realized fear only ensues whenever I thought the
