THERE IS BEAUTY IN YOUR SCARS
We all have scars either within us or on our outer bodies, emotionally or physically that can plague us for years or for life if we permit it.
For some, it's more of emotional scars from mistakes made, wrong decisions made or regrets made in the past. There are those who even feel ugly because they have scars on them.
These scars sometimes cause shame, disappointments or regrets to most of us whenever we see them but for every scar emotionally or physically. there is a st…
PRAISE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS (PUSH)
It was a privilege to be part of the 5th edition of Praise Until Something Happens (PUSH) where I spoke on praise.
It is easy to praise God when everything seems to be going well as planned, but once the ships go down and things begin to go haywire, the last thing that comes to mind is to praise God. There is also this set of people who only praise God when they are in need, making God a checkbook father. Once their heart's desires are granted, they forget God, not even…
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GET BUT WHAT YOU BECOME
In the world we live in, so many people are more concerned about what they want to get, the point they want to get to, the height or pinnacle in career they want to get to, hitting financial target/salary increase, owning properties, becoming famous in life, becoming spouses, achieving a goal or living a dream life yet do not want to go through the process.

LIFE FLOWS FROM THE INSIDE OUT
"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)
"Above everything else guard your heart, because from it flow the springs of life." (ISV)
The heart is the wellspring of life from where things flow. It is the source and the beginning of where the issues of life emanate from. Just as spring is the source where water flows, so is the heart where everything we think of, imagine and act on flow from. If the spri…
YOU ARE NOT WHAT THEY CALL YOU BUT WHAT YOU ANSWER TO
"It's not what they call you but what you answer to" is a quote from W. C Fields that serves as a mantra for me especially when I hear some negative name callings or tags placed on me by certain people. There are people with mean words who will always call you or tag you with negative names irrespective of who you are, how nice you are or how generous you tend to be.

EVERYONE IS NOT SUPPOSE TO LIKE YOU OR BE FOR YOU
I use to be one who thinks everyone should like me but one of the hardest lessons I got to learn in life was that not everyone will like me. Everyone must not be for you or like you, not everyone will support your dream. Some won't like you for being too honest and blunt, some won't like you for being yourself, some won't even like you for living your dream while there are those who don't like you for the level you are at the moment and there are those who w…

THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE'S VALIDATION
It feels good when we all get compliments from people. It feels good when what we do is appreciated and commended by people. When you get a pat on the shoulder for a job well done, it sure feels good. When you live your big dream or showcase your potentials and people are appreciative of what you do and praise you for it, it sure feels good. When you post pictures and other posts on social media platforms like facebook, twitter or instagram, it feels good when people like a…

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK
Hitting rock bottom is something none of us want to experience and most of us don't really know how to handle it when we feel like we've hit rock bottom. When people say they have hit rock bottom, it means they have gotten to the lowest point in their lives. A point where it seems like all hope is lost, no way out and like they can't move on in life again. Sometimes, it is due to the loss of a loved one, failed relationships, loss of a job, crumbled businesses, …
