Revealing His Truth

A friend of mine who would certainly not mind me sharing his experience for others to learn, got engaged in a so-called investment on which He committed a significant part of his savings. Just like any other, the deal behind any investment is to make resourceful profit soon or later. However, according to him, he never intended to commit so much to it; but over time, he had to empty his life savings to overhaul his returns in the investment. The unfortunate happened when he suffered an overwhelming loss of the said investment. I think a young man like this friend of mine would be in a better position to tell the ordeals and internal pains associated with a wasted investment. Permit me the space to clarify that investments are not only in terms of monetary assets. Parents invest in their children by getting them access to qualitative and quantitative education; teachers do the same by imparting the essential knowledge and skills needed for the child overall development. Similarly, go...

In my little understanding, a vessel is anything that can contain substances or objects; better still, a container. I will not forget easily the difficulty associated with sharing things with others while we were younger, just as we seat and watch among children today. Two school children were given a toy gift to play with by their teacher having impressed her on their performance in lessons, while the first was engaged with the toy, the other demanded for the use of the toy, since they both can exercise ownership over the object. In couple of minutes, the two supposed friends were already at logger heads over the said toy. Not quite long from then, both of them started making aggressive statements of ownership over the toy than the other. In the end,  a serious fight ensued between the two that would result in the damage of the toy. Do you know the toy ended up destroyed from the competitive pullings and dragging it was never spared of by these two kids. Dear reader, the end of a ...

In affiliation to the scriptures, it is often said "a good name is better than gold and silver". A good name in this context could mean a savoured character and repute, while the gold and silver obviously points to prosperity. The essence of this saying is to draw attention to the popular mad race for wealth at the expense of a good name. In quest for prosperity, several people have engaged in dubious and diabolical practices rather than dutiful diligence. You hear some desperate wealth seekers say things like "whatever it takes and will cost me, I must get wealthy"; and true to their words, they do everything possible, even the unthinkable to attain it with little or no consideration of the consequences of an ill gotten wealth. Indeed, wealth is good and it is one of the evidences of prosperity. What is yet to be understood by several wealth seekers is that God never created any man poor or destined anyone to live in poverty, man has only determined his condition ...

As I thought deeply about TIME, two popular aphorisms crossed my mind. The first, "time waits for no man" and the second "procastination is the thief of time". While the first illustrates the need for judicious use and irrecovable nature of time, the second points at one of world's biggest time robber- PROCASTINATION.  Procrastination than any other thing as deprived many people of several accomplishments. It is quite unfortunate that as much as its victims lament on their state of non-achievement, they fail to see the underpinnings of their procrastinations. Perhaps, this may make some sense to you, the greatest challenge we face when confronted with a lingering challenge is our failure to identify the key source of the challenge. To be an achiever in any sphere of life,  the voice of procrastination is one that must be vehemently dealt with. It represents one of TIME greatest foe.  I perceived you might be a victim of procrastination,  maybe you often postpon...

We live in a world where people have their hope tied to different things. Some have developed a strong hope in man while others have learnt to trust in physical and material things. Hope as to do with the belief in fulfillment or a desire accompanied by expectation.  As a matter of fact, hope in riches or man is vain because none of these delivers an assured fulfillment of expectation. Hear scriptures exhortation on the foolishness and vanity of hope man.  Psalms  118:8 says  "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Trusting and hoping in God is everything and confidence in man is vain. Man is flesh and blood that we see now and may not exist in the next minutes. Better is it to trust the creator than to hope in His creature.  "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help." (Psalm 146:3) Help from man is limited and help from God is divinely limitless. At the end of man's impossibilities is the commen...
