The CONCEPT of LOVE in my opinion is highly MISUNDERSTOOD lately.
True LOVE isn't a FEELING or an EMOTION because FEELINGS and EMOTIONS are bad LEADERS but excellent FOLLOWERS.
True LOVE is a CHOICE and DECISION to COMMIT to LOVING someone UNCONDITIONALLY without EXPECTING anything in RETURN.
It ALWAYS strives to see WHAT the other person NEEDS tomorrow and PROVIDE it TODAY.
True LOVE is PROACTIVE in NATURE and seeks for the WELL-BEING of the other PERSON than it does about itself.
It's more of a VERB than it's a NOUN.
It GIVES not for WHAT it can GET in return but for the JOY in GIVING.
True LOVE does not NEED a REASON to LOVE.
It's UNCONDITIONAL.
LOVE means DIFFERENT-THINGS to DIFFERENT-PEOPLE.
Until then, the smartest RESPONSE when someone tells you "I LOVE YOU" shouldn't be "I LOVE YOU TOO" but getting an UNDERSTANDING of their DEFINITION of LOVE.
This will certainly give you CLARITY on how the RELATIONSHIP will turn out if it makes it BEYOND the INTRODUCTION.
REASONS fade with TIME, so does the LOVE.
LOVE TRUELY and UNCONDITIONALLY.
It's funny that most people are LOOKING-OUT for the RIGHT-PERSON for their LIVES but NEGLECT taking the TIME to BECOME the RIGHT-PERSON in their HEART.
So that when the QUEST of looking for the RIGHT-PERSON ends they'd eventually have someone to OFFER the said RIGHT-PERSON.
It's WISDOM to PREPARE for what we're LOOKING for to FULLY-MAXIMIZE it when it's finally in our LIVES.
WISDOM also demands that we KEEP-UP the STRATEGIES and PASSION while in the PURSUIT as well as after the QUEST is SUCCESSFUL.
VERSATILITY, SPONTANEITY, TEACHABLE and ADJUSTABLE spirit are key COMPONENTS in the QUEST.
COMMUNICATING with the RIGHT-LANGUAGE encourages UNDERSTANDING because COMMUNICATION is COMPLETE when UNDERSTANDING ensures.
While looking out for the BEST-PERSON for us, let's be READY for the RESPONSIBILITIES that comes with it and be RESPONSIBLE likewise.
Above all, let your STANDARDS and TEMPLATES for the QUEST be founded on the RIGHT-PRINCIPLES and God's PLAN for our lives.
The TIME we're most PREPARED for DATING and RELATIONSHIP is when we do not NEED someone else to COMPLETE-US, fullfil a certain PURPOSE in our LIVES, INSTILL in us a SENSE of WORTH or BOOST our SELF-ESTEEM.
These are VIRTUES we can't get from OTHERS but OURSELVES prior to making the DECISION.
Don't walk into a RELATIONSHIP with the MINDSET of DEPENDENCY, a VACUUM that NEEDS to be FILLED by the OTHER-PERSON or to get TEMPORAL-DESIRES met.
This will definitely CRIPPLE and DRY-UP the ENERGY in the RELATIONSHIP even before it sees the LIGHT of DAY because it's BASED on a WRONG-PREMISE.
Walk into a RELATIONSHIP not for WHAT you can GET from it rather WHAT you can BUILD-OUT of it TOGETHER achieving common GOALS and FULFILLING-PURPOSE.
Take the TIME to PREPARE for it so that WHEN you finally fine YOURSELF in one, it will be like two FULL-GLASSES of WATER poured into EACH-OTHER with RESULTANT-EFFECT as OVERFLOW devoid of the NEED to be COMPLETED by the OTHER-PERSON.
Until you're completely SINGLE, you wont VALUE a RELATIONSHIP because RELATIONSHIPS and MARRIAGES are as GOOD as our SINGLE lives.
SINGLENESS is God's ORIGINAL-PLAN for human DEVELOPMENT.
It's a STATE to be PURSUED rather than to be IGNORED.
It's different from being UNMARRIED or LONELY.
Singleness is a SOLITARY-STATE that promotes SELF-DISCOVERY, INTIMACY with God and oneself.
To be COMPLETELY-SINGLE means to be.:
SEPARATE: Being set apart from OTHERS, Different from OTHERS, Detached from OTHERS.
UNIQUE: Being ORIGINAL, DISTINCT and SPECIAL like no other.
WHOLE: Being COMPLETE, UNIFIED, ONE with SELF without DEFICIT, ALL in One.
These three COMPONENTS defines SINGLENESS.
It's through SINGLENESS that we DISCOVER and SHARPEN our SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-WORTH & VALUE and a sense of PURPOSE for our lives.
It's the most important PREREQUISITES for RELATIONSHIPS and MARRIAGES.
RELATIONSHIPS gets BETTER the more SINGLE we're in IT, not literally but as in MINDSET.
SINGLENESS is more of a MINDSET than it's a STATUS.
It's the BEST-GIFT you can OFFER to your PARTNER.
FAMILY is God's DESIGN and PROTOTYPE for any SOCIETY.
Our SOCIETY is as STRONG as our FAMILIES would be.
Our SOCIETY is a DIRECT-REFLECTION of the HEALTHINESS of our FAMILIES.
SINGLES makes up MARRIAGES that makes FAMILY'S.
Therefore the HEALTH and WELL-BEING of our SOCIETY is largely DEPENDENT on how SINGLE we were before DATING.
If we DATE right, we would MARRY right.
If we MARRY right, we would PARENT right.
If we PARENT right, we would get our FAMILIES in ORDER.
And if our FAMILIES are in ORDER, our SOCIETY will follow LIKEWISE.
The CHALLENGE isn't the FINISHED-PRODUCT but rather the RECIPE and INGREDIENTS used in MAKING the FINAL-PRODUCT.
It's out of CHARACTER to point fingers at the RESULTS instead of the RECIPE.
How EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE our SINGLE-LIVES are is largely CONNECTED to the FUNCTIONALITY of our SOCIETY.
For some of us we can't go back to being SINGLES but we can strive to MAKING a DIFFERENCE where we ARE with WHAT we HAVE uplifting our society.
Healthy RELATIONSHIPS ought to always BEGIN at the SPIRITUAL and INTELLECTUAL levels.
The levels of PURPOSE,DREAMS, VISIONS, PASSIONS, MOTIVATIONS in LIFE,PERSPECTIVES about LIFE, INTERESTS and ASPIRATIONS.
It ought to ACCESS and ASK questions concerning suitors EMOTIONAL-PERSONALITY and its MANAGEMENT-MODALITIES.
PHYSICALITIES though IMPORTANT should be SECONDARY as regarding getting our PRIORITIES right.
We HARDLY would MISS the RED-FLAGS if we BEGIN the RIGHT-WAY.
RELATIONSHIPS gets EASIER when COMMUNICATION is KEY and UNDERSTANDING is the GOAL.
An UNDERSTANDING that we're not PERFECT will save the RELATIONSHIP a great deal when ARGUMENTS set's in.
FORGIVENESS is an integral part of HEALTHY-RELATIONSHIPS.
OPENNESS and HONESTY is the best way to establishing TRUST.
SECRECY drives away TRUST while promoting STRIFE and RESENTMENT.
RELATIONSHIPS can be EASY to be in when we EMBRACE the RIGHT-TEMPLATES as our FOUNDATION.
We all were CREATED and DESIGNED by God EQUAL but DIFFERENT in our UNIQUENESS.
We have DIFFERENT-LANGUAGES of COMMUNICATIONS likewise how we ASSIMILATE and PROCESS-INFORMATIONS.
For a WOMAN, Words spoken is an EXPRESSION of WHAT & HOW she FEELS first-hand others follow.
For a MAN, words spoken is an EXPRESSION of WHAT & HOW he THINKS first-hand others follow.
A WOMAN says WHAT'S on her HEART and THINKS in DETAILS SUBJECTIVELY and INSTINCTIVELY but ADJUSTABLE in her DECISIONS.
A MAN says WHAT'S on his MIND and THINKS in a STRAIGHT LINE OBJECTIVELY but RESOLUTE in his DECISIONS due to his EGO.
For a WOMAN, AFFECTION and ATTENTION is how she interprets LOVE.
For a MAN, RESPECT and REGARD is how he interprets LOVE.
This isn't a WEAKNESS but rather a CAREFUL-DESIGN by God to COMPLEMENT themselves.
We're EQUAL but DIFFERENT in our UNIQUENESS.
RELATIONSHIPS gets BETTER the MOMENT we start APPRECIATING our SIMILARITIES while RESPECTING our DIFFERENCES.
COMMUNICATE with the RIGHT-LANGUAGE and you'll be AMAZED with the RESULTS.
COMMUNICATION is almost the HARDEST thing to engage-in in RELATIONSHIPS if the RIGHT-MEASURES aren't in place.
It's the ABILITY to ensure that WORDS spoken are UNDERSTOOD in WHAT it SAYS and also WHAT it MEANS.
It's the ABILITY to LISTEN and UNDERSTAND the MOTIVES of the WORDS spoken UNINTERRUPTEDLY while taking TURNS to speak.
LISTENING with a PREFORMED-RESPONSE and MINDSETS is a bad RECIPE for UNENDING conversations.
COMMUNICATION is different from CASUAL-TALKS, it requires TIME, PATIENCE and HARDWORK.
If it says SORRY, BE-SORRY and STAY-SORRY
WOMEN aren't EMOTIONAL by CHOICE, they're simply DESIGNED to EMOTE to THINGS and SITUATIONS as their FIRST-RESPONSE.
It isn't a WEAKNESS but a POWERFUL-VIRTUE used in SOFTENING situations whilst ensuring PEACE and BALANCE.
MEN on the contrary are EMOTIONAL but it isn't their FIRST-RESPONSE to SITUATIONS, they prefer receding back THINKING-LOGICALLY finding SOLUTIONS to the problem.
Their EMOTIONS are deeply HIDDEN in the VISAGE of their MASCULINITY dying to EXPRESS itself but they CHOOSE to STAY-STRONG and ACT-STRONG.
Great CONVERSATIONS isn't alway about WHO has the FINAL-WORDS on a SUBJECT of discuss.
Great CONVERSATIONS involves DEEP-MENTAL engagements by both PARTIES without the NEED to FEEL-RIGHT or PROVE a POINT at the EXPENSE of BELITTLING another.
It's INDICATIVE of the fact that BOTH parties are well VESTED with the CONCEPT of DIFFERENT-PERSPECTIVES rather than have people SEE through their PERSPECTIVES alone.
FRIENDSHIPS and RELATIONSHIPS hardly dies a NATURAL-DEATH rather it's MURDERED daily on the platforms of EGO, repeated CHARACTER-FLAWS that WON'T change, IGNORANCE that's ALLERGIC to LEARNING, the NEED to FEEL-RIGHT than to let PEACE reign, and lastly ME, MYSELF and I ATTITUDES.
What BENEFIT is there INITIATING a CONVERSATION when UNDERSTANDING isn't the GOAL or conversely LISTENING to REPLY with SHOTS of aggravating WORDS as opposed to striking an UNDERSTANDING amicably.
Words TASTED before LETTING them out causes no HARM but can HEAL a SOUL.
Talk SOFTLY with GENTLE approach not as in a FIGHT or to SCORE-POINTS.
MUTUAL-RESPECT and KIND-GESTURES are CONVERSATION STARTERS. PRACTICE it.
I BELIEVE we can EMBRACE a BLISSFUL-LIFE in our FRIENDSHIPS, RELATIONSHIPS and MARRIAGES if we take off the PRESSURE that we put on OURSELVES and our PARTNERS.
Instead move towards ACCEPTING ourselves and our PARTNERS just the way WE'RE with an UNDERSTANDING that we're two IMPERFECT-PEOPLE working on THEMSELVES towards PERFECTION.
Above all, keep IN MIND that God will NEVER choose a PARTNER for us but He will POINT us in the RIGHT-DIRECTION to find our suitable HELPER, ASSISTANT and COMFORTER.
God is in the BUSINESS of presenting to us RAW-MATERIALS not FINISH-PRODUCTS, so we could CULTIVATE out of it the PICTURE PERFECT PARTNER that's in our head.
Remember, EVERYTHING that's being CULTIVATED requires TIME, PATIENCE and UNDERSTANDING before you start SEEING the FRUITS.
Be PATIENT with your PARTNER, give each TIME to ADJUST and above all UNDERSTAND that they're DOING their BEST to be the PERFECT one for you.
APPRECIATING little THINGS and EFFORTS in RELATIONSHIPS is like a FERTILIZER that speeds up the GROWTH process.
PRACTICE it.
As I will be hanging the Boots here on SINGLENESS, RELATIONSHIPS, FRIENDSHIPS and MARRIAGES.
I urge us to always WALK-WORTHY ourselves of the THINGS we're LOOKING-OUT for in others.
No one KNOWS it all, HONEST-MISTAKES should be PARDONED rather than make a BIG-DEAL out of it.
And if your HEART is in it and it's not TOXIC, FIGHT for it and PROTECT it but if it's TOXIC, taking the L is the BEST-OPTION on the table.
Don't LOOSE your SANITY and PERSONA on the PLATFORM of HOPES that HE or SHE will CHANGE.
Those are LIES we tell OURSELVES just to FEEL-GOOD while IGNORING the problem.
If they didn't CHANGE to GET-YOU, chances are they won't CHANGE to KEEP-YOU.
Never IGNORE repeated RED-FLAGS because you're trying to be OPTIMISTIC or deeply in LUST.
Don't make HASTY-DECISIONS just because you're under PRESSURE, it's your LIFE that's on the line.
Take out TIME to THINK through your DECISIONS before MAKING them.
Be SINCERE about your PRIORITIES.
And when GO D is at the CENTER of your DECISION-MAKING process, then you can be REST-ASSURED that you'd be FINE even when the STORM arises.
We're assigned to serving ALL THAT IS WITHIN US TO HUMANITY before exiting the world and we're committed to TRANSFORMING FOLLOWERS INTO LEADERS AND LEADERS INTO AGENTS OF CHANGE so they could influence their world with Gods PRINCIPLES AND PRECEPTS.

In 2019 watch out for things that will distract your attention from your target. It's called MISPLACED PRIORITIES.
★ GOOD DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN IT'S RIGHT,BUT RIGHT IS ALWAYS GOOD BY DEFAULT

IGNORANCE :THE GREATEST ENEMY OF MAN
I got up this morning with a burden in my heart that has refuse to go away, it's simple and clear and If you see yourself in the picture then the purpose of this message is fulfilled.
The greatest enemy of man isn't the devil but IGNORANCE.
"My people perishes because of lack of Wisdom:The application of knowledge " King Solomon says.
The key to FREEDOM in the mind is KNOWLEDGE and
The key to KNOWLEDGE is knowing the TRUTH and
The key to the TRUTH resides in God and His Word.
Consider that all that you know is what you've learnt so far, and the once you don't know is in what you haven't learn yet.
You are as intelligent as what you know, not less not more.
IGNORANCE is simply lack of Knowledge about what you should know.
Whatever that we call life today came from Great minds that refuse to settle for IGNORANCE.
Until you get uncomfortable with your present state of mind, change is inevitable.
There's something the world is waiting to celebrate you for, it's within you not outside of you, discover it and nurture it with passion.
All you need to do is start looking deeply within you at your solitude, stop being comfortable with the crowd because it's the fastest way of loosing your self image and identity and settle for less than your potentials.
The best version of yourself will never make it to reality if you do not change your mindset because our lives are directed towards our most dominant thoughts that became actions.
*What are your core values about life and the one thing that makes life meaningful, find it and give it life.
Here's how it works, a deeper knowledge of God equals a deeper knowledge of who you are and your potentials so you can serve it to the world.
Yes you can and the time is now.
Cheers.

GOD'S PRESENCE IS ALL WE NEED
This is true about any PRINCIPLE, whether things created by God or things made by Man.
You may disagree with Principle but you can't do away with it.
Permit me to define Principles are inherent , self programmed modalities that guarantees how every creation created should Function & Operate if applied adequately.
In order words Principles were made to guarantee the SUCCESS, SAFETY, AND FULFILLMENT of every creation by God.
Also note that violation of any Principle accompanies an automatic consequences which you brought upon yourself by ignoring the Principles.
I said that because I just want to highlight a few things that your mind can make sense of.
Here's a thing: Plants were created by God and it inherent Principles for survival and maximum functionality is tied to the plant being Constantly stocked inside the soil so it can tap the necessary nutrients it may require for it Success.
The fishes for example and other aquatic lives were made to function only inside Water, like the rivers, lakes and so on.
Truth is that neither of this creations can function outside it preordained environment that should guarantee it success and it proper functionality. Any attempt to disconnect them from their sources kills them automatically.
The point I'm trying to get to you is that God having created us and made us in His very own Image and after His Likeness so we could function like Him and have Dominion over the earth and take charge of the earth, the next thing God did was to guarantee the fulfillment of His Words towards mankind by placing mankind in an environment where he could function effectively , be safe and secure great success in everything he would do.
God placed him in "Eden" which is translated to mean: "A spot and moment, An Atmosphere, where the Presence of God is an open door to Heaven" This means that man was programmed to function adequately only if he were in God's presence at all times for his entire life. You can relate to the rest of the story in Genesis of what happened when Adam was driven out of God's presence.
The Presence of God is the singular most important thing anyone needs because it's the only ideal environment that once you carry it with you life situations listens to you, check out all through the Bible you'd find out that all Biblical characters that worked with God and made great exploits sort after the Presence of God in all their dealings.... Moses, David, Abraham, and so on.
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, it's absolutely impossible to function outside of God and His presence, this is equivalent to the air that we breath which we can't do without.
To achieve success and fulfill your goals, your dreams and your Purpose in life, you need to stay connected to God and His presence.
In all that you toll and do each day, be sure to not disconnect yourself from your source, nurture His Presence and carry it with you wherever you go through a constant relationship with Him.
God's Presence is all that we need.
God's Presence reveals more of God to us and God in turn reveals Who we truly are to us as well.
Trust me, there's nothing that can compete or withstand the efficacy and powerful presence of God. Paul stated clearly that all our achievements outside of God is count as NOTHING. But with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVES.
Seek to acquire more of His Presence and see how your entire life will be transformed from Glory to Glory.

MAXIMIZE 2017
First of all I wanna thank God for a Happy New Year 2017 and I Celebrate you for making it this far.
Welcome to 2017.
I want to start off the year by placing a few thoughts in your mind which I believe would help you set some perspective for this brand new year so you can maximize all that God has in it for you, your career, your business or company, your marriage & family and all that concerns your life.
We've began already a journey that involves:
● 12 Months
● 52 Weeks
● 365 Days
● 8,760 Hours
● 525,600 Minutes
● 3,153,600 Seconds.
All this numbers represents an invinsible irreplaceable scares comodity called TIME.
Life is measured by TIME or to say it another way: Life can be measured not by the length of life lived in years over TIME but most importantly it can be measured by the Value given to the CONTENT of the Life lived within those year's over time.
So it's not about how Long you live but how Well you live over time.
You'd be correct to say that we're stucked in Time and how it's being used or maximized is up to us.
Here's a quick perspective a'd like to present to you that'll help you make 2017 your best year ever.
Time actually measures life in second's, minutes, hours, days ,weeks, months and years.
Taking cognizance of these consciousness will help you keep track of your Time and ultimately maximize your life in 2017.
Truth is that, TIME runs at the speed with LIFE, therefore TIME wastage equals LIFE wastage.
Facts has it that, 95% if not 99% of people starts every New Year with "Resolutions" that would enable them have a fruitful year ahead but the truth is that those resolutions do not make it through January or maybe February at most.
Let's brake this pattern if you may.
I believe the best approach to solving any problem is tracing the little details that constitute the problem itself which may not add up but ultimately do in the end.
Most people fail in keeping to their resolutions not because they decided to violet them but because they lost track of an important factor that counts the most in fulfilling their set goals for the year . The factor here is TIME.
God created TIME and placed us in it so that we can live life in doses.
Time is so powerful that whatever you spend it doing, you become.
TIME can only be use or maximize but can't be stopped.
TIME measures life.
Time measures life in Mornings, Noon, Afternoon and Evenings.
Time measures life in yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Time measures life in day and night.
Time measures life in seasons as in Autumn, Spring , Summer and Winter.
Every human on planet earth is given the same ration of time a day as in 24 hours, not more or less.
How 2017 turns out to be is directly dependent on how you would manage the next 3,153,600 Seconds starting now.
Here are a few thoughts you might want to hold on to tenaciously:
*Take absolute ownership and control of your time, I mean every second of it .
*Convert it into an opportunity to fulfill your Purpose.
*Design and Manage how it's being used.
*Guard and protect it from abuse by you or others .
*Allocate a focus to it.
*Attach a Vision to it and give it meaning.
*Give it a Purpose to run with.
*Constantly check and measure it results periodically.
Outside these, Time wastage will be inevitable.
In other to achieve this,you have to;
*Document a concert plan that cover the entire 2017 and beyond.
*Narrow the plan down to smaller achievable details.
*Prioritize your plans in order of importance.
*Protect your plan and priorities.
*Identity possible challenges and prepare for them.
*Pursue your passion only and focus on doing what's Right at all times.
*Make decisions based on destiny.
*Inventory your associations and see who's wasting your time.
*Review your investments of time periodically to make adjustments.
*Do not try to please everyone,it encourages time wastage: do what you have to do as long as it pleases God.
*Forget the past and deal with the present while planning and having tomorrow think for itself.
*Disengage relationships & friendships that are detrimental to achieving your plans & goals.
* Make provisions and plan for resources necessary to ensure the achievement of the set goals.
*Stay conscious to know when it's time to move from planning to acting on the plan.
*Pray it through for God's approval, because many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it the Lord's purpose that will prevail.
*Above all else make a deliberate conscious effort to give God more of your TIME this year than you did last year, you'd be surprise how much He will replenish the time back to your favor.
###APPRECIATE YOUR TIME###
###FULFILL YOUR TIME###
###MAKE IT COUNT ###
###APPROPRIATE YOUR TIME###
###VALUE YOUR TIME###
###MAXIMIZE IT###
###MANAGE IT###
###MAKE IT PRODUCTIVE ###
###TREASURE YOUR TIME###
Happy New Year.

THE PARADOX OF CHRISTMAS
It's more blessed to give than to receive the scripture say's.
But giving as a gesture of Love isn't complete without the recipient receiving it,
RECEIVING makes GIVING complete.
It's possible to Accept a gift and not Receive it
It's possible to Accept a meal and not Eat it.
It's possible to Accept a drink and not Drink it.
It's possible to Accept money and not Spend it.
It's possible to Accept a Life and not Experience it.
It's possible to Accept CHRIST and not Know Him.
It's important to not confuse Giving by itself because Accepting the package isn't equal to receiving the gift.
In other words it's even possible to receive a gift and not open it and make it yours.
It's time for us all to realligne our mind's to the True Essence & the Significance of this season "CHRISTMAS".
Could it be that we're too excited about the fun & the Merriment that comes with the Season that we forget the Reason for the Season!!!
Let's pause and understand WHY Christmas is necessary for us as BELIEVERS or better still God's Original intent for you and I from the beginning before the fall of mankind.
Let me begin by setting perspectives herein that, God's perfect plans for you and I from the beginning of creation with reference to Genesis chapter one & two was...
♥ To make a Creature that looks just like Himself with His image.
♥ God being Love had to Love, so in order for love to be complete there must be a recipient and the recipient has to be just like the giver, so God fashioned us(Man) after His likeness breath His Spirit into us so He can fellowship with man Spirit to Spirit.
♥ God further proofed His Love for mankind by extending His Authority to us to Rule and Dominate over every work of His creation, I could almost hear God saying though the Earth is mine and all that dwells therein but Son I want you to have it, Work the ground and make it yield fruits, cultivate it and every deposit in it, take care of it, protect & guard it, in order words you're in charge of this extension of my Kingdom, make it look like Heaven.
♥God also had to give mankind the power of Will to decide and make decisions concerning the Dominion Mandate given to him by God, I believe the Power of Will was given to Man (Adam) so he would have to take absolute Responsibility for the Garden of Eden which was the perfect Environment God designed so he could function adequately.
♥To show how much of a father God is He usually comes down to fellowship and commune with Man (Adam) just to show His Love for him, walk and talk with man at the cool of the day in the Garden of Eden. Man had direct access to God.
♥God's original intent was also to Rule the earth through Man so that the earth can be filled with His Glory (God's Nature) even as the water's covers the sea.
♥God's intent was to make the Earth look just like Heaven, that's why if you pay attention to the Lord's Prayer in Mathews"...Jesus said when you want to Pray , pray that God's Kingdom should come and His will be done on Earth just like it is in Heaven which is our home country..."Emphasis added.
♥God intended to rule the seen (Terrestrial or Earth) from the unseen (Celestial or Heaven).This I believe was God's plan to reign and establish His Principles and precepts on Earth.To establish His Kingdom on earth and rule the earth through Man.
♥ God finally gave man(Adam) an instruction that I believe was in man's best interest that he should eat of every fruit in the Garden except that of the tree of Good and Evil because it will compromise his relationship with Him.But since God had already given man the Power of Will, the devil in form of a serpent ended up deceiving man to exercising the Power of Will God gave man, and man decided to violet God Principles & Instructions and from that moment just like God promised man, Man ( Adam) lost his relationship with God and he died a Spiritual death and God sent man (Adam) away from the Garden of Eden(His Presence). From that moment the Spirit of God left the Earth and the Bible make us understand that through one man (Adam) sin entered the entire human race, and the wages of sin is death.
So as loving as God is, being the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end, being a God that doesn't start until He finishes, being a God that sees the end from the beginning, He had already made plans to restore Mankind back to Himself as it were from the beginning. God had to send Himself to the human race in human form to pay the price of our sins, that's why the Scriptures says..."He who new no sin became Sin just to redeem us from our iniquities"...Emphasis added.In the last book of the four Gospel In the New Testament,...God declared His mind thus:"For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life, and He didn't not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but to saved the world through Him"...This is indeed the greatest act of love ever shown.
In essence the privileges together with the Dominion(KINGDOM) Mandate given to mankind by God in Genesis One verses Twenty-six through Thirty were lost the moment man rebelled against God's instructions.
This is why Christmas is a thing of Joy to us all and greatest gift ever given and the greatest act of Love ever shown so that we can be Restored back to His Original plans for our lives.
Therefore I consider Christmas to be:
● The Celebration of the Greatest Gift ever given to Humanity.
● Heaven given to Earth.
● Divinity given to Humanity.
● Light given to Darkness.
● Life given to Death.
● Forgiveness given to Sin.
● Healing given to Sickness.
● God given to Mankind.
● God's Spirit restored to mankind.
● God's Love restored to mankind.
● The Birth of Our Messiah- The Anointed KING.
● God's Redemption plan made manifest to Mankind as He promised through His prophet Isaiah that this will be the Sign: That a Virgin will be with a child and will give birth to a Son, and will call him IMMANUEL" meaning "God with Us" and he shall be the Savior of the world. "For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given:and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
● Christ Jesus the King was God's GIFT given to Man.
● The KINGDOM OF HEAVEN was Christ Jesus The KING'S GIFT to Mankind on Earth.
The GIFT was the Son "Jesus CHRIST" Inside Christ is the SPIRIT OF GOD. Jesus came bringing the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN back to Mankind as explained in Romans Fourteen verses Seventeen-Eighteen.." For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit..." YOU CAN TELL WHAT ADAM LOST BY WHAT JESUS BROUGHT,...that's THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BACK TO MANKIND.
Merry Christmas!!!
The significance of the birth of Jesus is more important than the date as in Today 25th December.
I feel it's important for us to pay attention also to the REASON WHY God had to come into the human race in human form, that must have took God so much that it's only LOVE that can explain everything.
Believe me I'm not trying to convince you out of whatever doctrine or faith you may have been thought or perhaps learnt while growing up as a Christian but my Bible tells me that..."You shall know the TRUTH and nothing but only the TRUTH shall set you free and the Truth is in God's Word.."
So I believe it in my heart that this is what Christmas should be all about.Yes there's nothing wrong with showing kindness to one another in form of gift and other presents, LOVE after-all was and still is the motivation and God's intent for the Redemption of mankind back to His Original plans as it were from the beginning.
But while doing that, don't loose sight of the Reason for the Season...The gift of CHRIST THE ANOINTED KING to mankind to restore us back to God.
The price for redeeming us is JESUS on the cross paying for our sins, make it count by Accepting and Receiving this Awesome Gift of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ The Anointed KING of which we're celebrating His Birth this Season.
This Christmas is the beginning of the end of the finished work recorded in the book of Revelations..."Behold the Lamb of God that was Slain before the foundations of the World..."He paid the price long ago, it's left for you to receive it.
So I charge you to follow the word's of Jesus that I believe captures THE REASON WHY HE CAME TO EARTH, it's recorded in Mathews Six verse Thirty - three..."Seek first the Kingdom of God and it RIGHTEOUSNESS and all other things shall be added to you. ..
"In Luke chapter four verse fouty-three Jesus also declared His Purpose here on earth..."I must preach the good news (Gospel) of the KINGDOM OF GOD to other towns as well: for I was sent for this Purpose..."
Friends it's all about God's Kingdom being established on Earth through you "THE NEW CREATION IN CHRIST"
Therefore for this Christmas celebration to be complete just like the Law of Giving demands as emphasized at the beginning, you have to Receive Christ into your life so that the Holy Spirit can begin to teach you about God's Kingdom together with God's Principles embedded in His Word, the Bible.
Jesus speaking in John chapter Three verse three..."Truly, Truly, I say to you, unless one is Born Again, he can not see the Kingdom of God..." In confessing Romans Chapter ten verses Nine - Ten, you have made the giving process complete. And your status automatically will change to that of Second Corinthians Chapter Five verses Seventeen-Twenty-one.
Merry Christmas!!!

INVEST IN YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Let's talk about YOU...Yes about You if you may.
Think of this cinario: How do you feel knowing that your Apps on your phone is an outdated version?
I bet there's always this swift action to immediately run an update in Google Play store or Apple Store because you can't stand operating less a version of the latest, now that's a phone: Can you say the same about your Personal Development and your life at large!
How much information is at your disposal lately and how updated is it with respect to were you're going in life. Are you running your life with outdated information!
Keeping pace with life, you have to constantly be the latest version of yourself.
Because your life can only move or geared towards the direction of your most dominant thoughts .
This I mean the quality of your thoughts.
Your life is the sum total of your thought processes, nothing more or less.
So you'd be perfectly correct to say that between were you're currently and were you need to be in life is directly dependent on two things: Getting the wrong information you shouldn't (Misinformed) or Not getting the right and necessary information you should(Uninformed ).
It's edifying spending time to invest in your mental property, the course of your life depends on it.
It's of a necessity that you believe in yourself and all that God has deposited inside of you, believe it or yes: everything you could ever need to become WHO God had fashioned you to be isn't outside of you but rather it's locked up INSIDE of you.
The earlier you discover what's locked up within you the faster & better your life will turn out to be.
Could it be that God’s waiting on you to wake up to this truth than you wait on Him?...The answer is Yes.
It's OK to believe in people's beliefs of you till your own believe of yourself kicks in....if that's necessary, then take the chance it's a plus to have such people in your life.
But ultimately you've got to trust and believe in yourself, it's the pivot to which every other facet of your life depends on.
Also you've got to purposefully spend quality time updating yourself and your mental property, that will serve as key to unlocking every Potentials buried inside of you, it's what will announce you to the world.
Obviously what's inside of you has a global impact, don't rob us of that deposit within you.
It's sad that we're living in a society that nearly everyone is busy investing precious time on vain things that barely contributes to their self development and conversely spend little or no time trying to evolve and become a better version of themselves.
It's the very VALUE you sale yourself that people get to buy, nothing less but it can be more.
So if you desire to be great and be successful in any area of your life, do not seek success or greatness but rather seek to become VALUABLE in the area of your purpose, automatically SUCCESS & GREATNESS will find you.
Becoming Valuable is achievable by:
● Knowing the reason for your Living "Your purpose in Life"
● Grasping the Vision attached to the Purpose and run with it passionately.
● Constantly be in competition with yourself to be the best of you.
● Consciously making efforts not to be less than you were yesterday.
● Purposefully engage yourself in something that will get you closer to your Goals and Dreams each day.
● Don't be satisfied going to bed without doing something that takes you a step closer to your destiny.
It could be reading a book, listening to music that inspires you, researching about something that got your attention, developing a certain part of your weakness and making it your strength...
In other words... "Plan your Time and Work your Plans".
All of this will add value to your persona.
While doing that remember that You're the sole proprietorship of your time & life, circumstances and people can only play to the tunes you let them, so quit blaming Circumstances and people for your mistakes, it's your mistakes take absolute responsibility for it because that's the only way you can learn from it and become a better version of yourself.
For the fact that you made a mistake or failed while trying isn't a certainty that you can't succeed:resilience, persistence and commitment driven by Passion toward success is what you need.
Failure is an opportunity incubating Success only if you learn from it and make it right the next time.
Strong minds are motivated by failure but not depressed by it, so prepare for it while expecting the best.
Should you say you've not failed before, then I can tell that you've not tried something new in your entire life.
Determine that from this moment onward that you will strive to become the best version of yourself by constantly evolving into that limitless shores of possibilities lying unexplored within you.
You ain't seeing the best of you yet.
You're UNIQUE & VALUABLE, make that a reality.

BE YOURSELF
If you would be sincere to yourself and life at large, somehow you'd realize within and around you that life is more meaningful and worth living the very moment your Spirit , Soul & Body is part of something bigger than your imaginations ( maybe a project @ work, school, church etc) to the point that it gets you so excited and you had this sense of fulfillment or perhaps felt very happy, pleased and accomplished.
The significance of the cinario I just painted is that You were created and designed by God to be part of something so big and greater than your imaginations when He created you.
Something that ultimately would benefit humanity and generations to come.
Something that no other person can accomplish but You.
This also means that there are several projects and assignments yet to be released from within you into the world so as to benefit humanity.
We're currently living in a society that dictates how our lives should be and determines how high we can achieve and how great we should attend, but I can bet the difference because it ain't supposed to be so from the beginning.
God made it that we should control & manage our environments and the society likewise not the other way round.
Obviously many people have been victims of their lives being controlled by WHAT PEOPLE THINK AND SAY of them, and perhaps misguided by some doctrines and traditions that's geared towards limiting their Potentials and tailored to make them comfortable in their predicament and worst of it all, convinced that it's God's will for their lives which is not...This is a serious tragedy of life.
Your live isn't supposed to be controlled by anybody, don't get me wrong it's ok to be inspired positively by someone in form of advice or instructions, that's quite a privilege but still it shouldn't run your life.
The only person that understands your makeup and were you're going is the One who made you, He alone should guide your path to fulfilling the purpose He gave you.
That's why it's important to establish a close relationship with Him through which He will introduce you to yourself, I mean your true nature.
Now let's purse at this point and deal with some truths:
Life's measured by TIME, therefore you'd be correct to say every Time spent equals Life spent.
God’s a God of purpose and Purpose gives meaning to Life.
God is the creator of all things, and He created everything with and for a Purpose.
He also designated a specific time for every Purpose assigned to each individual created.
Keep in mind that the Purpose of every creation of God is sure and can't fail, it stands forever.
You've been around for several decades already, that's a fact.
So I put it to you to wake up to this very reality that you have to start taking charge of your life and make every second in it counts not just by getting BUSY but getting EFFECTIVE in your area of Purpose.
Believe in yourself and do not allow people's opinion of you to become your reality.
All that matters is who and what God say's you are.
The entire journey toward greatness isn't over yet, refuse to settle for less because God has endowed you with a powerful tool called IMAGINATION.
Use it maximally and never stop dreaming BIG.
That He placed it in your heart to dream and envisioned means that it's possible to achieve if you believe it.
And if what He showed you in form of Visions isn't what you're seeing currently, then what you're seeing is Temporarily subject to change, don't loose faith but wait for it appointed time.
You're permitted to celebrate while waiting with thanksgiving for it manifestation.
Indeed my intention is not to challenge you or convict you in anyway but rather I wish that by the time you're done reading this, you would probably reallaigned the course of your life toward becoming WHO God designed you to be and not WHAT the society wants you to be.
Remember that a genuine Vision and Purpose from God will always be opposed by the standards and the norms of the society set by men.
Determine to be yourself against all odds while maintaining a healthy relationship with God and you'd be surprised how amazing your journey toward the fulfillment of your Purpose can be.
Stay unique and be YOU.

THE JOURNEY TOWARD LIFE'S FULFILMENT #4
TIME AND YOUR PURPOSE
God’s creation of man reveals that He desired a time- conscious being with an eternity perspective.
You were born and created for a purpose in God’s plan, and you were given a time to fulfill that purpose. According to the Scriptures, there is a time to every purpose (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
Because we live in time, we measure life in increments of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, etc. But how does God measure and judge the success of your life?
To answer this we must consider that God never intended for us to die.
God’s original purpose and His future plans call for us to live forever.
Therefore, length of years is not the measure of life for God.
Your age does not impress Him.
There are many who believe that old age is a sign of God’s favor and approval.
If this is true, then how do you account for the millions of individuals in countries around the world, and perhaps even in your city, who live beyond one hundred years of age and have no commitment to God? Their life styles incorporate behaviors that are considered to be ungodly.
It is evident that God measures the success, effectiveness and value of your life on earth in terms of purpose.
God’s question is never “How many years have you lived?” or “How old are you?” but rather “What have you done?”
In essence, life is not measured by duration but by donation.
From God’s perspective, “Well done” is more important than “Long lived.”
Jesus understood the important relationship between time and the completion of purpose.
Again and again He instructed people not to move faster in their expectations of Him than God’s perfect timing allowed.
This awareness of God’s purpose for His life as it related to His time on earth is particularly evident in John’s record of the wedding at Cana.
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.
Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, why do you involve Me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come” (John 2:1-4).
Jesus also displayed this consciousness of time and purpose on many other occasions.
In the twelth chapter of the Gospel of John He says,
The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. …Now My heart is troubled, and what shall I say? “Father, save Me from this hour”? No, it was for this very reason that I came to this hour.
Father, glorify Your name! (John 12:23,27)
He further expresses the relationship of time and timing to purpose in the seventh chapter of John:
Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples may see the miracles You do.
No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret.
Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
Therefore Jesus told them, “The right time for Me has not yet come; for you any time is right” (John 7:3-6).
Here Jesus’ disciples attempted to influence Him to go public and declare His power and position.
But Jesus refused and stated that there was a right time for every purpose of God and a right timing for it to be released in its fullness.
He further informed them that they had no awareness of the purpose and the proper use of time for their own lives.
Therefore, it is vital for you to capture and maximize the time of your life.
To do this, you must discover your purpose for life and get busy with your assignment.
Every day should be used to account for the fulfillment of God’s dream in your heart.
What have you done with the last year, month or day that you’ve lived?
What can you show to justify that time?
Time was given to you to fulfill your purpose in this life.
Don’t be like Methuselah, of whom it is recorded that he lived 969 years and then died.
That is all we know of his life.
What a tragedy! I admonish you to find your purpose and give time meaning.
As the apostle Paul exhorts: “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15-16 NKJV).
Throughout His ministry, glimpses of Jesus’ true nature and glory were visible.
He healed the sick (John 4:43-53, among many), multiplied loaves of bread and fish to feed large crowds (John 6:1-15), walked on the Sea of Galilee (John 6:16-20), and brought sinful people to repentance (John 4:1-42).
As the time for His crucifixion drew near, Jesus acknowledged that His time had come:
Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
For You granted Him authority over all people that He might give eternal life to all those You have given Him.
Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. I have brought You glory on earth by completing the work You gave Me to do.
And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began (John 17:1-5).
Time is always given for the completion of purpose.
Whenever time is used for things that do not work toward the given purpose, it is wasted and the opportunity to reach perfection is delayed or lost.
Jesus came to reconnect us with our God-given purpose and the importance of using time to complete that purpose.
His goal was not Calvary but the resurrection, so He could redirect our living from time to eternity.
God has given you an assignment that is so awesome it will take you this life and the life to come to complete it.
He invites you to live by faith, moving with Him beyond the limitations of what you can see, hear and feel at any given moment, so your perspective can move from living for today alone to looking toward eternity.
There’s eternity in your heart because God placed it there.
Knowing your purpose and the time associated with it will allow you to be effective and productive in your living, using the time He gives you for the purpose for which He gave it.
The proper use of time is always dependent on the priority of purpose because time is an interruption in eternity that allows you to fulfill what you were sent here to do.
He who has time to burn will never give the world much light.
Killing time is not murder, it’s suicide.
Take note of the following nuggets:
1. Time starts when we are born and ends when we die.
2. Eternity has neither a beginning nor an end.
3. God, who is eternal, exists outside time.
4. God sees the end from the beginning and sets our course according to His overall purposes.
5. God gives every purpose a time that allows it to reach perfection.
6. Time is always given for a purpose.
7. Time that is not used for its intended purpose is wasted and lost.
Meditate on this scriptural reference so as to maximize your time appropriately..." Teach us to number our days , that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12"
