The route to significance and meaning can be full of strive… But if you F.O.C.U.S. and believe in your God-given vision, you will thrive… Many have subscribed to the average thinking that “No matter what, I shall survive” … The quest for survival is now their ultimate drive… Instead, you affirm: “I will be greatly successful” in this my one life… For your discouragement and despair, it’s time to revive… For the know, demotivation and illusion may be a derivative connive… Little wonder, many qualified of the rising are deprive… In this hitherto life’s crazy, bewilder and uphill jungle The survival of the fittest remains a daily struggle You have to keep pushing and pressing even with or without your knuckle Sometimes the only way to pay evil is with good and not with another kind of evil The expression of lunacy and idiocy at seeming minus situations sometimes make one giggle and chuckle Other times, you wonder and marvel at how the others’ disrupt...

On Tuesday, April 10, 2018, Guest Minister, Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Tabernacle, at the Day 3 Word Explosion Conference 2018, shares powerful and instructive insights on understanding the covenant. Defining the word Covenant, the Bishop said “Covenant is a deal enacted by God on a clear terms and sealed by an oath. It is a spiritual transaction we commit God to make good His promise”.   Speaking on revelation as it relates to our understanding of the covenant, he said “Every revelation produces to the level of our understanding of it. Our covenant mentality is key to fulfilling our glorious destiny. Covenant mentality will deliver on too many days of fasting”. Referencing the following scripture verses Matt 13:33, 2Cor. 5:17-20, Joshua 11:45, Luke 19:17-19, Psalm 89:34, 2Cor. 11:3, Jere. 33:21-26, Prov. 14:28, John 15:16, Daniel 12:3, Prov. 11:30; 13:17, 1Tim. 2:4, Psa. 73: 17, Matthew 6:33 and 2Chro. 15:12, He expressed that as believers, we have a growin...

"...In long run, we are all dead!" -- Lord Maynard Keynes "Become all you can in the short run, because in the long run, only your legacy will remain!" -- Samuel Adu "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" --Jesus Christ, in John 9:4-5 Do all and what you can while it is day, when your good works can be valued, because there cometh a time when it is night when whatever you do (your efforts) may not attract the applaud it deserve (paraphrased mine). . ...in Economics, it is called "alternative forgone" or "opportunity cost" but in real life, it is called "sacrifice" Your success in the long run is directly proportional to what you give up on and pick up today. . The story of every star is in their sacrifice! While you are still very much around, pursue greatness and credibility,...

“ Nothing happens, nothing changes until you make a decision. Decision changes destiny.” --Samuel Adu  What do you want? Another year is right here and the clock is ticking, the days are passing by, the weeks are rolling over, the first week of the first month is already gone! This year promises hope, opportunities, advancement, success and fortune as well as disappointments, failures, misfortune, economic challenges like the concurrent recessions, disequilibrium and chaos in our country. But you know what: you must decide what you want this year in spite of. This year can be same of the same as the previous year and the yesteryears. In fact, this New Year can just be the same as the previous year carried over or let me adopt the accounting term—brought forward if you make no move to improve your life, to advance your course, to be better. A change of date does not necessitate that the year is fresh or novel. What makes a year new, hopeful and promising is essentially a chan...

Frankly, the impact of the Nirmala Chellarams mentoring, counseling and business advisory session tagged “Meet-A-Mentor” (Mentor’s Day) is still rolling in: I got this from one of my mentees after a deep, robust chat, open and sincere conversation from Zainab O. Gbenle . I had told her I’d love to read and edit her story or experience as it were from the one-on-one engagement from each of her mentors for the day. She obliged. One of her challenge was the lack of enthusiasm and all of the accompanied challenges you may think of when it comes to writing. This seem to be one of the reasons she’s on few social media platforms. I told her point blank: “If you want to be a good writer or improve on your writing, then you have to write. You must be interested and willing to write. Just write. The same is applicable to public speaking. As you write, you get better and better. You improve your writing skill by writing and writing daily and not by just wishing to write...
