An open letter to the Motherland 🇳🇬

Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When right values and standards are in place,progress is inevitable. A community that breeds selfishness thrives on each living for himself which has never been in God's agenda for the purpose of man, and when purpose is defeated, abuse and misuse is clearly inevitable. The scripture above says "Righteousness exalts a nation...", how true this is, what does He mean by 'Righteousness' in this context, 'Righteousness' here means right standards, right values, right principles. A nation can never grow on wrong principles, no matter the amount of prayer prayed for a nation, without the right standards, stagnancy is certain.

In light of the celebration of Nigeria's Independence day, the message to everyone is crystal clear, each man must live a selfless life , give no room to selfishness. Are you a Policeman, why don't you respect the core of your profession by protecting the citizens from criminals rather than harming the same citizens you're to protect. Are you a politician? Refrain from telling lies to the people to gain power, a nation you destroy will definitely have a repercussion on your generation. Are you a worker? Do your work without eye service, refrain from inflating figures just to your advantage,treat people nicely, don't be a worker who is power-drunk because you hold a reputable position. Are you one who owes those who work for you?You shouldn't have people work for you, and you owe them intentionally, oh no, you're definitely one of the problems of Nigeria. Nigeria will only get better when Nigerians get better. Nigeria is what Nigerians make of it. Happy Independence Day Nigeria!!!🇳🇬 God loves you and wants you to grow.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
