ITS FOR A MOMENT NOT A MONUMENT

-


Looking behind when on top speed
Is a recipe for disaster
No runner has ever comes first
Running the race gazing backward
Even a car has up to five gears to go forward
And only just one for moving backward
Life is design to go forward
That is why you have two eyes looking forward
And no spear is left for the back
Your legs and hands freely gravitate forward
And not backward
So holding onto the hurts of the past
Or the successes of yesterday is harmful
Until you release the past
The future can not be realised.

 No past pains, disappointments and discouragements
Is worth sacrificing the future for
You have so long lived in the past
And your story has been the same
Why don't you give the future its own chance
And chat a new beginning for yourself.

 So take the courage to shake off
All the stains of the past
All the hatred and the heart break
All the regrets and the had-i-known
All the pains of disappointment
And the hurts of discouragements
Step out of whatever holds you down
They are just a 'coma' in the history your life
Don't make them a 'full stop' by not letting go
So step out of whatever men have done to you
And situations have thrown at you
Don't be buried in your past for its only a phase
And it will soon fade away if you face the future
Shake off the ties with the worries of yesterday
Because that is not all about your life
The future is unfolding
Thus, don't make a temporal moments
A monuments
Let go of the past.

 Shalom

Don't say no to yourself Give others that chance to say it to you She said they don't take pregnant Women That is the standard everywhere So she never applied for the job JOB SEARCH TIPS Give the employer the chance to reject you Why on earth do you limit your own chances Even if you are over the age limit still apply It is better you are not selected Than that you never tried at all Even if the advert says only for degree holder And you are an HND holder still apply It is better they don't get back to you Than that you never tried at all Saying no to yourself Without giving the employer The opportunity to say no to you It is a sign of lack of  faith I would rather get there before them And let them tell me I am not qualified Than sit at home and never try at all Increase the rate of your rejections And i assure you your dream job is on the way You just might not know the one that will come through I learnt this while distributing eggs for O...

YOU ARE NOT USELESS

"Before I kill myself I felt like talking to you". That was the first line of statement I heard from the other end of the phone with shock. Got a call today from a friend based in the US and the 2 hours talk birth this short video and write-up. I have this to say to 👉YOU: 1. PLEASE!!! Know that You are not useless, I don't care from which quarters those disheartening words might come from 🤐. Yes, it might hurt when the mouth saying those words is that of a revered person. But don't let the words of men delete your hope. Remembered that even the wise men in their wisdom got the birth place of Jesus wrong because manger doesn't match the star that they saw. "This is a king star they said to themselves so they headed to the palace", but God is a specialist in hiding treasure in vessel not fitted for it. He knows how to bring out goodness from places people have lost hope in. Samuel in his anointing saw Eliab and thought to himself this guy looks a...

MAKE DITCHES NOW And he said, thus says the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches For thus says the LORD, You shall not see wind, Neither shall you see rain; Yet that valley shall be filled with water, That you may drink, both you, and your cattle, And your animals. 2Kg 3:16-17 God spoke to the two kings Of Judah and Israel by the mouth of Elisha To make ditches in the desert land Not with the expectation of a rain or wind But with the believe that the ditches Will be filled with water They believed the word of God And went ahead to make ditches in the valley And behold they woke up to see That all the ditches were filled with water While waiting on God for this year agenda This was the scripture that Holy Spirit gave to me And I will like to share it with as many people That can choose to dare the word of God Make big plans this year Plans that are bigger than your resources could fund Don’t do it calculating what your...
