CHOICES
That’s something we all have and make consciously or unconsciously. Not making a choice in itself is a choice. You outlook to life and what you make of life are products of your choices. Two things happen to us in life, accidents (events we can do nothing about) and incidents (events we plan for).you can govern the accident that befall you but you can choose how you'll handle them. Even the worst of situations can be handled rightly it’s all a matter of choice. I know a great guy, he had an auto crash about 8years ago, He lost his legs and was confined to a wheelchair, it seemed all was lost but he choose to still be a force to reckon with and today. He is a loud voice for the physically changed. That’s just one of many; the list is endless of those who rose from the worst of accidents, its all about the choice they made.

Each day you are faced with the challenge of making the right choice, it may not be convenient but it will payoff eventually.

Father Fancis of Asisi said "he who is not proud of his color is not fit to live."I dear to add,he who is not proud of his country too is not fit to live.WHY? because they both have same offence,they both dispise their origin.Nigerians over the years have lost their identity, but i think and can see that the time of our re-birth has come,the re-birth of true Nigerians.We the youths of today have a task at hand,we must produce a better Nigeria for our children ,one they can be proud of,we must do better than our fathers.
my sincere prayer is this
O GOD OF CREATION DIRECT OUR NOBLE CAUSE
GUIDE OUR LEADERS RIGHT
HELP OUR YOUTHS, THE TRUTH TO KNOW.
If you indeed believe in the future of this country ,please do join me in this prayer daily by singing the 2nd stanza of our national anthem.
GDO BLESS NIGERIA!!!

A NEW NIGERIA
Nigeria clocked 46yrs on sunday,but something was unique about this years's independence day, I noticed that Nigeria is closer to her dream.I noticed that Nigerians are far more patrotic than ever before, we are begining to believe in ourselves and our country. I meet daily more Nigerian youths, male and female alike who believe in the dream of a new Nigeria and are willing and ready to work towards achieving it.I know a friend who took it upon himself to distribute the Nigerian flag to all around him with a copy of the nation's anthem in a bid to re-orientating them to love Nigeria. He is now taking the campaign to primary schools around his environment. There are many other such people doing other things to promote the image of this country to her citizens, but like a mentor of mine (Deolu Akinyemi) said, "The multitude did not win our independence, the multitude will not win our re-emergence. The critical question is not if Nigeria will regain greatness or not, the critical question is what role will you play?"
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

Today,I was thinking about Alexander the great who conquered the world by age 30, but could not conquer his appetite for alcohol which was his final undoing.I could see clearly that the things that destroy great men are those things they don't deal with on their way up. An appetite or passion you can't control is a dangerous thing on the road of success could be an appetite for money,women,fame or even knowlege.Its like a time bomb,it can go off at anytime. The bible describes it as lust,and says its the root of everything we call temptation.
"if any man be tempted, let him not say he is tempted of GOD, for he is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust..." (James 1:16)
This lust is like a cancer it eats deeper and deeper until it destroyer.
BEWARE,THAT WHICH YOU CALL PLEASURE MIGHT BE THE TIMEBOMB YOU CARRY AROUND,DESTROY IT BEFORE IT DOES YOU.

I have noticed that the most difficult set of people to help are those that enjoy the pity, attention and other benefits that their problems bring to them. Their main problem is that they have a very low self esteme,their problems define them e.g. the girl with the broken arm. Without these problems, they are just another face in the crowd. They hate the pains the problems bring but love more the attention they get.A story was told of a blind man who went to a crusade ground to beg alms, but while the preacher was praying his eyes were opened. At first he shouted for joy but on second thought, he approached the preacher and asked that his blindness be restored so he could keep on begging.
You have to hate your problem enough to let it go.

Love!

Love in most quarters is believed to be a feeling that is deep and usually unexplainable. Novels and films give us the impression it is intoxicating, irresistible and uncontrollable.
Some don’t believe it exist at all, they think it’s a fiction or fantasy for they‘ve never experienced it.
Love, I believe is more than a feeling. I see it as knowledge of acceptance in spite of one’s weaknesses. This knowledge could manifest in a sweet feeling and longing to be with the one towards whom or from whom we notice this acceptance.
The fact is that no one ever feels complete without love, but we look in the wrong places for love. We look to people who themselves know little or nothing about love. True love is found ONLY in the person of Jesus because He is the expression of God’s love for us. The scripture says God is love [1Jn4:8] and this love He expressed to us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us [Rom.5:6].In this, God showed us acceptance in spite of our sins. It is impossible for any one that has not accepted this great love to express love to another [1Jn4:8, 16]
MY SUBMISSION love is a decision you have to make, first to accept the love of God, also to accept others in spite of their shortcomings.

It is true that you cannot control what life throws at you,in that there are certain things you can't change about you. Take example of your lineage:who your parents are,your blood group etc,your physical appearance in terms of height, beauty,stature etc. But you can shake off the effects and still make the best of your life.
The first step is to sit down and take stock of those things you consider disadvantages,if possible write them out. Face the reality,accept that they are there decide to have an 'inspite of' spirit i.e.inspite of all these,i will still make it.
Focus on the goal and look for those things in you that give you the slightest chance at it. Improve on those strengths,everything you need to live your dream is inherent in you what you need is to discover them and use them.
Snatch your life from fate,dare to dream and work to make them come true,GOD will be wicked to allow you have dreams you can't actualize. That you can dream it is a prove you can live it.

FREINDSHIP!
FRIENDS ARE ONE THE GREATEST GIFTS YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF.THEY CAN EITHER MAKE YOU OR BREAK YOU.YOUR ASSOCIATION TELLS ALOT ABOUT WHO YOU ARE.THEY HELP SHAPEN YOUR THOUGHT PATTERN AND ULTIMATELY YOUR LIFE.
I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF FRIENDSHIPS:
A. THOSE WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS.
B. THOSE WHO YOU ARE THEIR FRIENDS.
C. THE MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP[YOU ARE THEIER FRIENDS AND THEY ARE YOURS TOO]
THE FIRST GROUP ARE VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEIR OPINIONS COUNTS IN YOUR LIFE YOU MOST PROBABLY WOULD TAKE AN ADVICE THEY OFFER.
THE SECOND GROUP ARE LESS IMPORTANT,THEY USUALLY DRAIN YOU BY PLACING DEMANDS ON YOU. ALTHOUGH THEY BELONG TO YOUR CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE,THEY COULD BE ALOT OF DISTRACTION.
THE THIRD GROUP ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU,THEY KNOW YOU AND YOU KNOW THEM.THEY REFLECT YOU AND YOU DO THEM.THEY COULD BE YOUR CONVENAT FRIENDS OR SOULMATES.YOU SHARE DEEP THINGS: CHALLENGES,SUCCESS AND FAILURES.YOU CAN BE REAL WITH THEM AND THEY CAN TELL YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. THEY ADD TO YOU AND MAKE YOU BETTER.
MY PHILOSOPHY IS THIS:I DON'T ALLOW MY FRIENDS CHOOSE ME,I CHOOSE MY FRIENDS.
"HE THAT MUST HAVE A FRIEND MUST FIRST SHOW HIMSELF FIENDLY FOR THERE IS A FRIEND THAT STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER."
Pv18:24
