Validating Convictions
Convictions must agree with the context of the Scripture. A conviction that takes you farther from God has failed the test either wholly or partially. The unreliability of time as a validator is that true convictions can also fizzle out with time either due to staying away from God or...
-
Breaking The Cycle Of Addiction
The vacuum in you, which these addictions seek to satisfy but fail to, can only be filled by the experience of purpose fulfillment. The vacuum was created to be filled by the pursuit of your life assignment and could only be filled by that. Consciously respond to those repeated longing for that...
-
Attitude And Revelation
There is this attitude of ‘I know what is there’ when the eternal teacher points our attention to what he wants to reveal at any particular time. There is the feeling of knowing already everything that can be said of that topic/portion of the scripture. However, the teacher calling your attention...
-
Become The Influence
You know the difference when you lick salt and a substance coated with salt. One has a being and the other has a doing. ‘Doing influence’ is just salt coating. We are to be salts and not salt coated though we are in a state in our world where we settle for coating.
-
Worry Is More Tasking Than Praying
Worrying, weeping and sorrowing are tasking. Worse still, they do not change the situation but compound it. However, prayer that will get the job done is less tasking. Praying eases the burden off you and transfers them to God.
-
Wise Counsel
It might be dangerous to rely on your wisdom alone but make sure your counselors are wise and not sentimental and emotional. It is not a case of looking for another counselor until you meet one that agrees with you. The goal is to meet the wise counselor. Whether a wise counselor agrees with you…

Worry Not
As humans, we want to fashion out everything and be in control of all things. We are thus pushed to worrying unnecessarily. Rather than getting disturbed, you can pray to God who cares for and about you than you do.
-
Why Worry?
Why worry when you can pray? God take care of the creatures and you are more valuable than they are. Be confident of his care, love and concern for you. Rather than worry, channel your energy to prayers.
-
The Same Everywhere 2
Having authorities around tend to make people accountable, this in turn put restraints on our lifestyle. It is advisable on relocation to seek authority figures to whom you can be accountable.
-
Unto Good Works
After salvation, growth is next. You are not saved to remain as you are. There is action in your salvation. There is the need to improve and show forth fruit corresponding to a living faith. Faith without good works is dead.
-
Understanding People Via Prayers
When you genuinely pray for people,you begin to see more to the person beyond those things that attracts ill feelings and ill words. You also begin to see and understand those things from another perspective. You might start reasoning with the person rather than judging as you previously do and...
-
We Are Ministers And Not Magicians
Our abilities, which are part of our being, are to be used to meet needs. Rather than making self-centered points, we are to be ministering to needs with our doings. We, as ministers need not show off. Whenever the need arises, our being will through our doings minister to such appropriately.
-
Wrong Premises In Choice Making
While it is true to some extent that you should be vast in things needed on our paths, the absolute truth is that we do not know all we are able to do. There are innate abilities in us that have not come to the fore. They will only be observed when the need arise and demand is placed on them.
-
The Same Everywhere 3
As leaders and parents, we should build men up to fear and tremble before God and not humans so that the consciousness will remain whether we are present or absent.
-
The Secret Place
Many are losing their savor right in their places because they are out of the secret place. The secret place is not a place but an experience. In the secret place, God shares his mind, opinion and wisdom with us. In the secret place, God shares his nature with us, driving his quality into us. The...
-
True Or False Hope
People build this hope on people, things, events and assumptions. Giving hope to the soul without giving hope to the spirit is only a cosmetic fix. Such superficial hope even at its best is false. It is a hope that rises from your spirit that can work for you in the true sense.
-
The Nation Is The People
The nation’s outlook is only a reflection of the quality of her people. At times, some nations might have a different outlook from the quality of the people at present. These people might be benefiting from the quality of the previous generation(s) but their quality will form the foundation for…

The Power Of Convictions
There will always be a way that seems right but your convictions will help you see through and avoid such seemingly right paths but are not right in the real sense. Life will keep suggesting shades and alternatives. There will always be that easy path you can take with little or no risk.
-
Seeing Beyond Addictions
If only we could have realized the ‘story behind the story’ as that vacuum longing for a filling and respond appropriately by pursuing our purpose. You will be soothed, relieved, comforted, delighted and settled without doing that ‘thing’.
-
Time As A Wrong Measure Of Progress
The time thought as wasted by some might have actually been progressive as the process they are in is part of the vision. Our hearts should see the vision beyond the eventful results; the processes are a large part.
-
Today's Trouble Is Enough
Everyday has its own worry. We are at times bothered about years to come when we are not through with the present. Live in the present and enjoy the uniqueness of the present rather than being troubled about the future.
-
The knowledge Cycle 1
At times, the wisdom we need lies with someone outside our professional group. However, are we humble enough to tap into the wisdom of the not seemingly ‘wise’ to make progress?
-
The knowledge Cycle 2
Have you felt boxed into the knowledge corner before, when you are asked of what you do not know with an expectation and assumption that you know. We should acknowledge what we know and what we do not know in our territory. In fact, in consulting them, we become more knowledgeable.

The Last Page
God is the author with you as the main character surrounded by the many readers in your world and your last page will bring a smile to God, you and your readers.
-
The Life You Need To Live
The life we should be living is that of Christ and not that of ‘a better you’. You no longer own yourself; you have been purchased and an exchange done by Christ. Your real life is Christ.
-
Standard Copying 4
The certification others are acquiring might not be necessary for you to progress on your path. What work for other ministers and ministries might not work out for you and yours. The studying style of others might not work for you.
-
Speaking Well Of People Via Prayers
You just get uncomfortable speaking against the one you pray for from your heart. You feel hurt by words that spite them as if you were the one been chopped. You may soon take things personal. That is the power of sincere and genuine prayers; it knits heart together.
-
The Need To Raise Others
People do realize that the future looks bleak, as there are no (capable) people to continue or handle things at hand or could arise in future. In salvaging the situation, a labor begins in this direction, which might be formal or informal.
-
The Art Of Raising People
The art of raising people is transferring your thoughts to them in such a way that they can imbibe it. Your thoughts are intangible but expressed in your words and actions. These do not just stop at the prepared ones but the ordinary everyday words and actions.
-
The Same Everywhere 1
As Christians, we should retain our identity wherever we find ourselves. We should maintain the same standard everywhere. We should be the same everywhere irrespective of who is present or absent.
-
Strengthening Your Convictions
When you pray, you receive strength to do whatever god wants you to do. In the place of prayer, angels of the lord keep on coming to build your obedience muscles though you do not see them. Even when the people in your life are telling you otherwise, your conviction is strengthened.
-
Stand Out Before God
In standing out, one must ascertain and clarify to which audience one desire to stand out. It is natural for everyone to strive to stand out before men but is not as important, beneficial and prestigious as standing out before God.
-
Technically Legal, Spiritually Inappropriate
What might be spiritually appropriate for others, might not be for you and vice-versa. That which is spiritually appropriate for you is that which the Holy Spirit leads you to pick after all we are to be led by the spirit and not technicalities.

Stand Out In Your Thoughts
God’s thoughts differ from man’s thoughts. Therefore, if you imbibe God’s thoughts as yours, your views, actions and responses would begin to differ from others. To stand out is to think differently.

-
Strengthened For A Cause
Your source of support influences your motive and functioning. When we depend on God, we are positioned to carry out his intention for every situation and experience in our world.
-
Service Leads To Identification
In the course of service, one encounters challenges which when properly addressed bring what is inside to the fore. At times, opportunities are hidden in these challenges. Seizing these hidden opportunities reveal the inner giant to the watching world.
-
The Influence On Your Convictions
When people hear and see a thing long enough, they will begin to think from that perspective. They would be convinced it is true and live out of such convictions. The dynamics of this operate subtly and subconsciously.
-
The Being Influence And The Doing Influence
The ‘doing influence’ operate on the surface without penetrating the core of the influenced. In the real sense, influence attains the depth in the influenced as in the influencer. A ‘being influence’ would with time influence the being of the influenced while a ‘doing influence’ would rarely go...
-
Rich In Good Works
Believers are to be rich in mercy, rich in generosity and rich in service. We are not saved for ourselves but have content of good works always ready to give out to others. Serving others should be our lifestyle.
-
The Challenge To Raise Others
While some conscious effort made at raising people emanate from request made by people to be raised, there are also those who are challenged to raise others in the course of their growth. The requirement of their assignments or the project of their training includes raising people.

Satisfaction, Money And Fame
One might be tempted to think a fat pocket brings satisfaction but many have found money but not satisfaction because it was never sited in money. Then fame becomes the likely next search, as it seems the missing thing for those who are rich. Not even the (awards of) achievements could satisfy…

Satisfaction, Pleasure And Relationships
The object of pleasure, which varies from individual to individual, shows prospects of giving satisfaction until one reaches the end of it and realize it has been a mirage. It is with this understanding that pleasure cannot provide the satisfaction desired that some plunge their being into their...
-
Seasons In Growth
Growth does not occur in a day but over a period, which is filled with different seasons. Each season experienced in the course of growth, whether regular or irregular comes with its own peculiarities and timing. Nevertheless, you grow stronger as you go through all these seasons.
-
Righteousness Exalt A Nation
The righteousness by law i.e. right doing is enough to build a nation. This is why some heathen and unchristian nations are doing fine. They have the righteousness to make things work here on this planet. They do things the way it should be done.
-
Salting Our Nation
In every detail, we should insist on doing the right things. This is how we spread righteousness to others. In our doing, they learn. Moreover, if we set these ‘doings’ before them long enough, they will imbibe it.
-
Rest In Peace: The Assumptions
What happen to anybody after this life is not decided then but now. It is not decided after death but before death. Any rite done after death does not influence the afterlife experience of the dead but to satisfy the emotions and consciousness of those left behind. Once dead, the fate of resting…

Redefining Holiness
God’s will is that we become holy, not holy according to our definition but according to his definition. His holiness refers to his wholeness, completeness and totality. God wants us to be the whole, complete and total person we were designed to be. To live without sin is only a part of the…

Responding To People’s Convictions
Ensure you are spiritual in your response as convictions are spiritual matters. Respond from your spirit and not just your senses and emotions. Out of respect for you, many could be counseled out of God’s purpose if you are unspiritual.

Respect People’s Convictions
As much as you have the right to hear God, others have the right to. All sons have access to the Father. We need to respect this right in one another in the body else, we abuse others. To override people’s rights is to abuse them.
