“DA HUN MI A DÀ OJÓ MÍ LO"

 “DA HUN MI A DÀ OJÓ MÍ LO" (Become that which you have to be, time is going)

The phrase sounds the alarm of time redemption which should bring us into sobriety.

It's the beam of light that navigate what we've been doing to reveal the loopholes and pay attention to them.

The kind of result we get is a function of the time we've dedicated to gaining mastery.

What makes the difference between mediocrity and excellence is the amount of time dedicated to that which one does.

It's a thing to do something, it's another thing to do it well, another thing to do it well consistently, and it's another thing to be a standard operating procedure when it comes to that particular thing.

What category are you with the level of your current input?

We must have the mindset of universal acceptability in anything we are doing.

Have a vision in mind. It gives you foresight of where you are going.

Learning from people who have gone ahead in that field of yours is also a good step to start with.

 What do they do differently?

What will you do differently?

How do you intend to achieve it?

What are your daily metrics for achieving your desired result?

Invest your time in knowledge.

Leave your comfort zone.

Challenge yourself.

Be smart.

In your becoming, prioritize your relationship with God. This is wisdom🔥

Selah!!!

Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Proverbs 22:29 KJV

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

ONE MAN'S VOTE REVOLUTION

Over time, I've always loved the way Indians give solutions to societal problems via their entertainment industry, especially in their movies.

I watched a movie named ‘Sakar' recently.

The movie unraveled the power of one vote as far as an election is concerned.

I've always been a citizen who believes in political participation. It's my responsibility as a Citizen of a country on planet earth.

On  February 9th, 2021, Professor Mahmood Yakubu (INEC Chairman) disclosed in Abuja at the commission's first consultative meeting with Civil Society Organisations that The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said voter turnout across Nigeria hovered around 30 to 35 percent of registered voters in the last two electoral cycles.

The reasons are; inadequate voter and civic education, ineffective voter mobilization, the fear of violence during elections,) unfulfilled promises by elected officials, and low public trust in state institutions.

In addition, a sect in Christianity also believes in political parties religion-wise.

 They prove their belief by the claim that Jesus was never involved in any political activities because his government is not of this world.

Whereas, they are still the same people who will work for the government and won't love to be sidelined when opportunity unfolds I guess.

Maybe if there was anywhere in the scripture where voting takes place and Jesus did not, that would have ascertained their claim.

When he says his Kingdom is not of this earth, he is not saying we should cut off from systems that uphold the earth. Cutting off from the systems in which the world runs is unwise.

Starting from King Herod who feels threatened when Jesus was born and was referred to as the king of Jews.

 He was thinking he will be a future political ruler from his deduction.

Jesus clarified later and said his kingdom is not a political kingdom but a spiritual kingdom and his throne was not of this earth. 

The illustration was for purpose of clarification and not to be politically apathetic.

This whole Nigerian politics can be tiring and annoying at times. There are so many reasons to just stay low-key and let them run the country the way they want, as it is looking like our votes are not counting.

Sucking the country dry with little or no foresight on how to move the country forward. Inflation, Corruption cases, strikes, and so on...

Just name one sector that is working in the country?

Most of the political aspirants don't even involve their families in political exercises because their families have to be safe, the masses are their weapon and there is always a plan B for them.

Thou, the feasibility of a vote changing the narratives is slim but if the remaining 65% who are registered voters should turn out for elections, it will surely go a long way.

Have you gotten your PVC?

Our trust in democracy remains only because of an election every four years.

Some unethical few people shouldn't make us lose faith in Nigeria's democracy.

A piece of my heart.

Thoughtful words on Deborah Samuel's killing

 

For some days now, I've been engaged in conversations on Facebook over this beloved Deborah Samuel who was brutally killed as she was accused of blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed.

The heart breaking part was the comment session, giving room for a lot of questions to keep popping up in my mind. 

I was seeing content that justified the killing and it was looking like a dream to me sincerely.

Really?

Is affirming my belief a blasphemy that warrants nothing but death?

It's way obvious that the concept and belief systems of different religions are on their own blasphemous to one another. 

So, why the unnecessary provocations?

Are we all humans in this country?

What Law is governing us in Nigeria?

I know Sharia Law is recognized in Nigeria but,  does it apply to every other citizens that is not bound by Islam? 

All I know for sure is that Nigeria is not a Sharia state.

Where are these northern religious fanatics from?

 Different people from this religious sects are contradicting their statements as some said it's a death well-deserving while others said it is uncalled for. 

Why are they contradicting themselves?

I am confused.

Whose report do we believe?

All I know is a set of religious people provoked and reacting because of someone's utterance against their prophet is only a display of insecurity towards their convictions.

If they indeed know the only true God, they will not think they are doing this for him.

Kill- to sniff life out of God's creature. This is devilish.

The God I know is love and love is kind. The God I know is not partial, he loves everyone. He is not easily provoked and thinketh no evil.

Why not correct the lady in love? 

I don't think education can solve this problem because that happened in a  citadel of learning.

 These are just a set of religious fanatics instilling fear to subject people to bondage.

They need a reorientation of minds and serious prayers.

Referring to the laws from Leviticus to justify the fact that the Holy Scripture supports killing anyone who blasphemes is out of it because the author and finisher of faith in the person of Jesus changed the narratives.

 From the laws to the prophets to his dispensation, he showed us an excellent way.

The story of the adulterous woman is a perfect example of what Jesus would have done.

He said ‘Woman, where are your accusers? Your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more.

Jesus was later killed because to the religious ones, he was blasphemous with his utterance when he affirmed that he is Christ; the son of God.

But, had they known, they won't have crucified the lord of glory.

To wrap this up, general duke says, a creator doesn't need to be defended by what he created at the expense of destroying his creations. Humanity must wake up from some set of psychological hypnotic rhythms.

Nothing justified this evil act. 

At the end of the outcome of this incident, may their testimony be “had they known, they won't have crucified Deborah Samuel”.

Rest on Deborah and forever walk on the street of gold.

What's your opinion and what do you think is the way forward?

WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THE FRIDAY?

 

His goodness is good about the Friday and it looks good on us. That's why it's worth celebrating🥂🤍

The goodness encapsulated in his death, burial, and resurrection to the end that God would in us. 

HOW?

 For he is good and his mercy endureth forever

His goodness was reflected in the creation story.

Even after Man fell and knows good from evil, his goodness sent them out of the garden that they won't live in their sins forever.

The seed of the woman prophesied was the goodness sent to overcome the evil in this world.

 The goodness personified couldn't resist his nature.

He went about doing good.

And anyone who has come to acknowledge and identify with this goodness will overcome the evil days in this world and be created in him unto good works.

The fruit of the spirit is Love and one of the pieces of evidence is  goodness

 All others are still in goodness, righteousness, and truth.

WHAT A GOOD GOD

Do you want to identify with this goodness?

Believe the good news.

Believe the gospel.

Don't say it is too good to be true.

Say, why shouldn't I enjoy this goodness?

MY SPIRIT, MY HEADQUARTER

 

My spirit, my essence.

My spirit, my reality.

My spirit, my headquarter.

A dead man is called by his name but no response.

Gone.

Lifeless body on the ground.

Breath of life was breathed into man's nostrils to become a “living soul"

The body wants comfort and pleasure.

Soul wants to comprehend all.

Spirit: the entirety of what man is and where fate lies searches for the truth.

They are different entities.

Christ's body says let this cup pass over me but his spirit says let your will be done.

There is a contention that separates the entities.

Even as God in flesh, he has to do what will continually put the voice of flesh in silence to echo his assignment on earth via the spirit man.

Invest in your spirit man because, in the end, that's what will stand the test of time.

Say “My Spirit, My headquarter " repeatedly.

There is a way it makes you conscious of your reality.

FORGET & FOCUS

 Piles of thought cloud my psyche 

Rains of emotions almost flowed out through my eyes

I can't help but to wish this memory can be formatted

I feel like a shadow of myself

Why? He asked.

While brooding, he said with his soothing voice,

It is understandable.

But remember, asides from the obvious calculations that made you think you were not a choice in the first instance, my instruction was what you also followed. 

And that settles it.

Don't be caught up in your past because it blocks your eyes from seeing what the future holds. 

Focus, don't be bitter nor feel defeated.

“You are strong," he said.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

Let's take a moment to just forget our differences about Celebrating Christmas or not...

Let's forget whether the date was chosen to counteract the influence of paganism or that's the exact day of Jesus' birth..

Matthew 2:10

 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

It's a season to be joyful about💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

It's all about how the Gospel came to being...

How that from the beginning, the seed of the woman that bruised the head of the serpent was prophesied.

How that the incorruptible seed of the word was made flesh manifested before his death, burial and resurrection.

 Oh!!! The birth of jesus that made me know I have the joy of salvation to the end that God can now indwell me through his Spirit.

Anna and Simeon blessed and thanked God for the consolation of Israel and redemption in Jerusalem.

It's all about ChristJesus

Thank you Abba🙏🏽 for

Transformation, Zoe, Salvation, Redemption, Sanctification, Wisdom.

It's a season of Love

A Giving season

A Sowing season

God sowed Jesus his begotten son so that many sons can be brought into the kingdom....

 Are you a Son? 

Son; not as a biological configuration but as an heir of God through Christ.

He's extending his fatherhood arm this season......

COME

Jesus Loves You Romans 10:9-10 

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
