1 Min. Read As believers, we are constantly reminded that faith can move mountains. This is not just a mere platitude, but a truth that can have a profound impact on our lives. Faith is the seed that gives life to thoughts, just as a sperm gives life to an egg in the womb. When we introduce faith into our thoughts, it triggers life, and like nature, everything with faith has the ability to grow, mature, and bear fruit. However, doubt can be a hindrance to the growth process. A double-minded person is unstable in all their ways, and this inconsistency can weaken the spirit and focus needed to nurture growth. When we are not consistent in our actions, we cannot expect consistent results. This is why we are called to be hands-on in our endeavors. We must do the sowing and watering, and God will give the growth.  We must also be aware of the two types of doubt. The first is the doubt that is a longing to believe. This type of doubt can lead to further growth and progress as we seek out...

1 Min. Read Do you ever feel like you're working hard, but not seeing the results you want? You're not alone. Many people struggle to achieve their goals and feel like they're stuck in a cycle of unproductivity. The good news is that there's a simple principle that can help you unlock your potential and achieve more with less effort: the 20/80 rule. The 20/80 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, suggests that a minority of causes are responsible for a majority of effects. In other words, 80% of results come from just 20% of efforts. This principle can be applied to many areas of life, including business and personal productivity. To apply the 20/80 rule effectively, you need to identify the vital few factors that contribute to the most significant results. This might involve analyzing your data, reviewing your goals, and prioritizing your tasks. Once you've identified the most critical factors, you can focus your efforts on them, rather than wasting time and re...

  1 Min Read. As humans, we are constantly bombarded with thoughts and ideas. Some of these ideas may seem insignificant while others have the potential to change the world. It is important to realize that our brains are not infallible storage houses and we should not rely on them to remember every idea that comes to us. This is why having a notepad handy can be a game-changer. Some of the best ideas have come from the most unexpected places, like the shower or during a walk.

1 Min read Have you ever encountered opposition in your life, whether from within or from external forces? Perhaps it was a disagreement with a colleague at work, a difference of opinion with a friend, or even a struggle within yourself to pursue a certain goal or ambition. Whatever the source of opposition may be, it is important to realize that it can often be a sign that something great is waiting to be birthed.   As the saying goes, "a road that has no opposition probably leads to nowhere." In other words, when we face resistance, it can be a sign that we are on a path that is worth pursuing. When we encounter opposition, we should take a step back and examine the situation objectively.  *  Is the opposition justified? If not,  *  Is there a basis to justify the course of action you are considering? If there is, then it may be worth pursuing despite the opposition.   Opposition can serve as a catalyst for growth and progress. Just as a pregnan...

One of the most important lessons any entrepreneur can learn is that money is in the street. What does this mean? It means that the opportunities for wealth creation are all around us, and we just need to be open to seeing them. The street is where people are, and where value is exchanged.

F or example, let's say you notice that there is a long...

1 Min. read We are all craving for peace in our lives, yet it seems so elusive in our world today. Whether we like it or not, conflicts and disagreements are inevitable in our daily lives, and this is true for both individuals and nations. However, what makes the difference between a peaceful resolution and one that leads to more conflict is the state of mind of the parties involved. Think about it; how many times have we seen situations where parties involved in a dispute are only focused on winning and not finding a lasting solution? In such instances, emotions often run high, and it becomes impossible to make progress because everyone is only looking out for their interests. In other words, there is no peace in their hearts. It is important to note that peace is not the absence of conflict but rather the ability to manage disagreements without resorting to violence. For this to happen, each party must have peace in their hearts. This means having a genuine desire for justice, equity...

We all have that voice in our head that whispers doubts, fears, and lies. It’s the voice of the stranger, an energy that seeks to misdirect us out of our destination by misinforming, disinforming or uninforming us. But how can we recognize this voice and avoid being led astray? In John 10:4-5, Jesus tells the story of the shepherd and his sheep. The shepherd knows his sheep and they know him. He calls them by name and they follow him because they recognize his voice. But when a stranger comes, the sheep run away because they do not know his voice. This story teaches us that we need to be familiar with the voice of our keeper and avoid listening to the stranger. Just like sheep, we need to know who is leading us and trust that they have our best interests at heart. We need to cultivate a relationship with our keeper and spend time listening to his voice through prayer, meditation, and reading the Bible. But how do we recognize the voice of the stranger? Personalizing this story, imagine...

* If you have to stop to fight every opposition on the way, you will never go far. Fighting has been given a bad reputation, but it's not always a bad thing is it? In fact, we are born to fight and equipped to do so. Life is full of oppositions, and the question is, how do we conquer them? The world tells us not to fight, that it's not good, but then it overwhelms us with troubles. So how else are we supposed to survive? Are we supposed to keep trudging through the midst of vicious, dubious, and brutal evil forces that spare us no thought when they come after us? Fighting may not be good, but it helps, delivers, and preserves. The key is to fight sparingly. Not every fight is necessary, as they say, "picking your battles." Fighting can lead to too much devastation if not used in moderation. So, we must fight when there is a need, when not putting up a fight will rob us of our prestige, our pride, our personality, and even our life. We must fight for what is importan...

Wealth is not measured by how much money you have in your pocket, but by how much lives you have touched. Money is often seen as the ultimate goal in life. It's easy to become obsessed with it, to measure ourselves and others by how much money we have. But when we stop and think about it, money is just a means to an end. It's what we do with that money that truly matters. Wealth is not just about accumulating material possessions, it's about the impact we have on others. It's about using our resources to make a difference in the world, to help those in need, to leave a positive mark on the world. Think about the people who have made the biggest impact on your life. Were they the ones with the most money or possessions? Or were they the ones who showed you kindness, who lifted you up when you were down, who gave of themselves to help others? I remember when I was growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money. We struggled to make ends meet, but my parents always m...

President Xi Jingping of China said: When I was a small child , I was very selfish, always grab the best for myself. Slowly, everyone left me and I had no friends. I didn’t think it was my fault but criticize others. My father gave me 3 sentences to help me in life. One day, my father cooked 2 bowls of noodles put the 2 bowls on the table. One bowl has one egg on top and the other bowl does not have any egg on top. He said ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want”. Eggs were hard to come by those days! Only get to eat eggs during festivals or New Year. Of Cos I chose the bowl with egg! As we started eating. I was congratulating myself on my wise choice/decision and wallop up the egg. Then to my surprise as my father ate his noodles, there were TWO eggs at the bottom of his bowl beneath the noodes! I regretted so much! And scolded myself for being too hasty in my decision. My father smiled and sad to me, ”My child. You must remember what your eyes see may not be true. If u in...

I am not referring  to the atheist who delude himself in a bid to escape the guilt of moral misconduct or as a way to evade his responsibility to a moral God assumed that there is no God. I am talking to a people in this part of the world whether you are a Christian,  a Muslim or a pegan who believes in the existence of one supreme God who is the creator of mankind and the universe. Nevertheless these people deny God everyday of their lives both in their conduct, in their belief system and in their character. They oppress the poor and the weak, punish their victims heartlessly and deny them their rights. In authority we manipulate people, setting people against each other and syphone their resources. In our little cacoons, we oppress those whose lives and future depends on us. We care less  whether they survived or not , we show all kinds of wickedness, in our conscious minds, we deny that God exits. We embrace a man-made cause, a man-invented ideology, and i...

The brain is the busiest part of the human body. It needs help. That is why you have books, paper, pen, and any other writing materials. When the brain gets very busy, it could easily be cloaked up by various kinds of thoughts especially the negatives. When that happens, it becomes extremely slow with the possibility to shut down entirely. The brain has capacity. Too much thoughts tends to eat up that capacity. It clouds and clusters it making it loose effectiveness. To help the brain retain its optimum performance, there is need to de-cluster it of excessive noise and negativities. Negativities like worries, fear, anxiety, draw the mind in anticlockwise direction instead creating frustration, confusion, nervousness etc. Write it down One way to help the brain is to decongest or offload the brain on regular basis. You could do that by the use of your hands as a release agent or medium by writing them down. Anytime you feel your head is overloaded, simply pick up your pen and p...

Everyone has got an enemy but the worst you can do is let him win. Let you enemy remain your enemy if he chooses to but do not be an enemy back. Focusing on your enemies will sap you of your inert energy and will distract you. Keep your focus on your goals. Your attention is life and anything that has it lives and grows even stronger and anything that lacks your attention lacks life and will in the same way grow weaker and die.  Your enemy will fade away naturally when he discovers that you do not belong to the same class with him. Then your huge success must have become obvious to him. Be careful not to reward your enemy with a cheap point by giving him your costly attention. Go on carry on as if he does not even exist for he is not present except in your own imagination. Sometimes that person may even turn around to become your friend.  Life is too short to waste on senseless things. You can neither add another person's age to yours nor give yours to him,  if your e...

sound mind equals good health  and vise versa. Some people cloak their head with very many things that it begins to weigh on them. The prevalence of high blood pressure and various diseases in our society today owe their genesis to this Our head has capacity to multitask, however it can only focus on one thing at a time. Trying to get your hands on many things at the same time is not just suicidal but also unproductive and to be a servant of all is to be a master of none Take it easy with life. Find time to ease off, recreate and relive sweet memories, calm the head. The human brain has capacity.  Over loading it is tantamount to destroying it. Take a chunk at a time and face only one thing until you succeed, then you can branch off to other things but maintain one thing at the beggining until you perfect. There is enough time and enough space for creativity. Everyone is bound to make away for a creative mind. There is nothing like; there is “ No Road" when a creativ...

What it takes to make money is the same as what it takes in living our normal life-Offering services or products. What is missing is the Conversion and the Focus. By Conversion I mean, do you recognise that those activities you do can earn you money simply by recognising their values, attaching relevant monetary figures to it and demanding such in return for them. By Focus, I mean, what is the direction of your mindset in terms of the values you dispense. If you give out most of your services or products for free without specific and concrete plan to regain it back, you will surely end up poor. Unfortunately, we live in a culture where  people expect you to give everything out for free to every other person. They may forgive you if you are charging others for services rendered but you are in trouble if they are the victim. Its even worst if you are a graduate where they believe you have a better life than themselves even when you don't have a job yet. The non graduate tech...
