RISE…BEYOND!

By -


Forget about everything now and raise.
.
Gather all your strength and lift yourself up from the ground.
.
You can do it. Yes, do it now!
.
Arise and shine for your light is come!
.
That your back is on the ground does not mean you should remain on the ground.
.
Actually, your back on the ground is not an opportunity to lock up or give up but to look up and rise up!
.
Arise! Gbese! Gbe body e. Gbe soul e! Ji masun!
.
.
Arise. Oh, my dear friend, arise!
.
Until you arise, Kings will not show up. Nations only come to your rising…
.
Kings only come to you when you’ve “risen” not when you’re “thinking about rising” or your “about to rise” state.
.
You cannot go far, you may not rise high, or make it big while thinking about small things. If your thinking is average, you will become average.
.
You are what you think! And what you think unbeknown to you is what you partake!
.
"Remember you become what you think about most of the time", says Earl Nightingale.
.
In your thought life, you must rise. Only then will you rise in life.
.
Your thinking must be beyond your current circumstances, beyond your current troubles and limitations, beyond your current reality, beyond your current state of existence.
.
You are limitless. Yes, you are. Only broaden your horizon and see the possibilities in your life.
.
What you see (with your inner eyes-vision) reflects in what you say. What you say is what you get. That you say it—positive or negative affirmations—reveals what goes on inside of you.
.
Little wonder, the good book says “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. Whether you raise or not is determined by what you say to yourself.
.
Andres Lara said and I quote, “If it rains and you don't think about the rain, if it thunders and you don't think about the thunders, if you fall and you don't think about your falling, then your thinking has risen above all puniness”.
.
Like today, it rained cat and dog in Lagos (probably still raining in some parts) and I was thoroughly drenched and fricking cold. Thank God for a cup of Nescafe. But it didn’t bother me. You say why? because for me it’s showers of blessings!

Enjoy the weather and take a coffee!

OF LINDA IKEJI AND HER NEWLY BOUGHT MANSION: THE RETURN BENEFIT OF CONSISTENT HARDWORK

By Anonymous -

"You will get there, if you do not stop here" -- Exponent Samuel Adu The good book is complete on the subject of diligence. “Seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before Kings and not mean men” (Proverbs 22:29). Whoever says hard work is a waste of time is to me a big fool! Hard work pays. And to be precise, it’s one of the surest ways to escape hard life. Diligent, indeed, is God’s delight. When you are consistent with what you do (good or bad), you will get the result someday. That is the secret behind Linda Ikeji’s success story. Know that if you are poor, if you are not living your dreams, if all you do is to settle for less and accept that as your fate, if all you do is compare yourself to others in the bid to play the blame game, if all you do is criticise others who are making it big doing the same things or business you do, if all you do is explain your pain to no gain, and what have view, you are living a lie! Life is an individual

Of Covid-19 And The New World Order

By -

It’s a brand-new era, an emergence of a new world order. We are in a season of spontaneous change, a dispensation of increase and newness. New vistas, new frontiers, new powers, globalization… A fresh dawn is right here for our lawn, scaring and starring at us. Like the breath of a fresh air, post Covid is here. All is come for our restart, replan and restrategy. To rethink and look back at our times of yore. Our struggles, pains, successes and failures. The ups and down, the conquest…and now the crown… Covid-19 came to obstruct, distruct, destruct, distract and distort our plans and programmes. We were all perplexed and swept under our feet without our consent. The entire world stood still and helpless at the face of a pandemic. The rich, the middle class, the poor and the proper paupers, the rich and advanced nations, the 3 rd world countries, the whites and the men of colour all in awe at the accompanied bedeviling nature of a pandemic. Suddenly, social-strata or call

Happy Democracy Day Nigeria!

We are citizens of this great country called Nigeria. Nigeria is our fatherland! No matter where we are outside her shores, we are still Nigerians! She cannot be great without our input, without our collective efforts, without our corporate social responsibility! Nigeria: Good people, Great Nation. Hmmm, I'm thinking...well, if Americans can be saying "God Bless America" despite all of their crazy laws validating same sex marriage etal, why can't Nigerians too be saying "God Bless Nigeria?”. We need to change our mentality in this country o. We need to start celebrating ourselves so that the world at large will celebrate us. We need to believe in the new Nigerian State where the true ideals of democracy will manifest. We need to speak PEACE into our Jerusalem—Nigeria so that our children will work and walk freely on our streets without any fear or terror. We cannot ALL just the praying and fasting for our land that corruption should b
