Sojourners on Earth

 

Clement, Clement, wake up! wake up!

He can no longer, speak, move, or breathe.

His essence is gone and only the variable; a body that is nearly turning to sand is lying still.

But, where has he gone to?

Alas! He has returned home.

We're sojourners on the third planet in the universe.

One day, we will be called home to experience rest or distress forever. 

We'll give an account of how we spent our lives here on earth.

Our works will go through the fire to know if they will pass the tests of love and time.

Don't you find it funny that we will be asked to be accountable for what we do in the variable that will eventually turn to sand?

Vanity upon vanity, all is not vanity as your impact is inscribed in the hearts of men.

What will I do for my name to be registered in the sand of time?

Live for purpose.

May it not be heard that I came to earth without fulfilling purpose and was dumbfounded when asked about what I used my life for.

Let's stay diligent in that which has been committed to our hands.

It goes a long way and God is a sure rewarder of those who seek him diligently.

Those doing it for money shouldn't be more hardworking than those doing it for souls.

A soul is precious because that is what counts in eternity.

DÚDÚ~not in the demeaning way they made being black seem

 

What are your experiences about being black? I mean your confidence, courage, and the other side.

The question above was asked by one of my potential clients in the new settings I found myself in recently.

Being black is a whole concept I can continually unravel anytime any day.

But, why the question? I asked.

He said he was just surprised that I still maintained my skin color irrespective of the pressures that come with bleaching these days.

I smiled😊

I understand that some tend to appreciate it while others talk down on it jokingly or meanly not knowing if it's getting at me or not.

I think it started getting at me when people emphasize more on it more while I was going up. That omoo, you are black too. Why are you this black? etc.....

But, that's the fact and nothing can change that. I am a dark-skinned lady.

But, above all, I've come to learn over time that it begins with seeing myself from God's perspective first.

And my response to how I interpret any conversations that stem from that changed over time.

From my relationship and fellowship with God, I have learned to appreciate myself irrespective of what anyone says or thinks about who I am, what I'm known for, and what I represent.

Some make it look like you are at a disadvantage because you are black. Some people also use to hype my black, tell me not to try bleaching or anything and I will be amazed.

While exchanging words with someone in form of an argument recently, he said that's why I am black.

I was like, thank you🤷🏽‍♀️ I've passed the stage of a word like that getting at me. Try again!!!

The conclusion of the whole matter is, that don't let society dictate what is acceptable to you. They are selling a mindset.

They tell you, that by just bleaching a bit, you will look much more attractive whereas, in the long run, you keep journeying in a circle to maintain the fake skin color and you are joking about skin cancer and kidney damage.

See yourself the way God sees you because from there stems appreciating yourself.

Don't mirror your life to what people say or think. Appreciate the almightiness of God revealed in your true color. Correct-mindedness will give you good self-esteem, anywhere, anytime any day.

To all my fellow Dúdús~ not in the demeaning way they made being black seem.

I am rooting for you all🥂🖤

CONSISTENCY

Oh! Imposter syndrome, where is thy siege? Nay, in all these, I am coming out victorious with my episodes.

That was my lamentation and comfort yesterday while trying to fine-tune how I will go about my new writing episodes.

For the past four weeks, I've been perambulating on how to get things done from the in-depth thinking, word tailoring, research, and attention-grabbing skills needed to bring out the best version of this episode.

From my experience, I have come to realize that when you don't sharpen a skill, you tend to forget your way around it.

I told myself, bae, you have a goal and a good plan to execute it but, why is there no result? Why the struggle?

I realized that one of the key things needed to bring my plans into reality is Consistency.

Even if my plan is concise, compelling, clear and something I can be committed to but lacks consistency, it's a game over for me. 

Consistency is a game changer, and it is the tool to gain Mastery. 

Take the metrics one step at a time, don't rush, and don't stop. Ensure you are always showing up when it comes to that which you're passionate about. Cheers to greatness.

A STIRRING BIRTHING RESULTS

 

       On a beautiful Sunday morning amidst the assembly of brethren, a thought flashed through Bisola's mind popping up a lot of questions from different directions. What if thieves enter the church, what will our reaction be? Will my pastor stand? Are we all going to obey them or dispense God's power? Will there be contention between using Wisdom as it were (cooperate with them) or dispensing God's Power? (face them). “Can thieves enter the church?"  “Is there money in the Church?" No She soliloquized and gave her thought another direction. Where am I going? Life is full of surprises and the unexpected can happen at any time but the problem is when we are caught unawares as believers. The few recent gun men cases in and out of the country should stir up a challenge that will birth result in the body of Christ. It should bring us to the consciousness of what birth results beyond our talks and religious acts.It should take us back to how God's generals and fathers in the faith maximized and are maximizing the power of God with the help of the Holy Ghost.

      When I saw the ironic phrase ‘Ma dira o' (don't guide yourself o) put up by some persons while the visual confession ‘Jesus' was circulating sometimes ago, it's so sad that people believe so much in what charms can do than what the power of God at work in a believer can do. The world made light of the power of God because there is no tangible evidence to show them. People's subconscious mind has now been wired to believe in the power of the devil than that of the Holy Spirit because the results seen around are scarce.

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him, that can do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

Looking at it from this angle, the killing wasn't a martyrdom case as it were but a ripple effect that demands action. The bible says in the book of 1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but power.

Let's assume 50% of believers on earth know and understand the new creation realities which include the authority of a believer. How many are dispensing and maximizing the new life in Christ Jesus? How many are showing forth God's power? A rhetorical question that can be answered with happenings around. The happenings are indirect instructions to spur us into deliberate action of seeking God genuinely.

We need power. The power is in the of JESUS. I believe many people call on the name of Jesus; strong tower but what makes the difference in the result made is our association with the name. Philippians 2:10-11  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory. of God the Father.

       How much do we know about him in our association so far that if there is a relationship in the first place? How effective do you think help from someone you are not familiar with or who doesn't even know you will be? May our case not be that of Paul I know, Jesus I know but who are you?

Our fellowship with Him should be our priority. Giving ourselves to a consistent, structured, and fervent word study, meditation, and prayer life. May we walk in the reality of this power at work in us in Jesus' name.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY IN THE IMAGINABLE

 

If someone had told you a decade ago that you would be able to lodge in a hotel on another planet in some years to come, what will be your response?

You will be like, how possible is that?

Seeing the news about the world's richest man, Elon Musk who is set to unveil the record-breaking and first hotel on Mars soon, inspired a topic in my mind instantly.

So, the Earth's neighborhood planet, Mars will soon be welcoming more people from the Earth. Incredible!!!!

Over time, we've known the earth to be the habitable planet in the world 🌍 but now, someone is about to change the narratives despite all odds.

Through this breaking news, my interest in geography and space was brought back to life.

Earth is known to sustain life because of its right distance from the sun, it is protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field, it is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere, and it has the right chemical ingredients for life, including water and carbon.

How will humans survive on this planet?

Human survival on Mars would require living in artificial Mars habitats with complex life-support systems. One key aspect of this would be water processing systems.

 Being made mainly of water, a human being would die in a matter of days without it.

A Mars habitat is a place where humans can live on Mars. Mars habitats must contend with surface conditions that include almost no oxygen in the air, extreme cold, low pressure, and high radiation.

 Alternatively, the habitat may be placed underground, which helps solve some problems but creates new difficulties.

For a man to contend with all these conditions, making the imaginable possible is indeed the biggest win I've seen so far.

Where am I going?

As much as I don't want to sound like a motivational speaker, let me end on this note.

Everyone can't be Elon Musk but there is something spectacular about you that is incomparable. 

What's that thing you're good at? Look inward, discover it, imagine the impossible to the end that a solution is provided in that your field of interest, and start executing.

Above all, believers, you have an advantage in the person of the Holy Spirit, who is first a creative spirit according to the book of Genesis (Creation story). Engage him.

Ephesians 3:20

Now unto him, that can do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,  according to the power that worketh in us.

Don't limit God, let your imagination be limitless. There is a possibility in your imagination and let your imagination be guided by Philippians 4:8.

Happy new month Family🤗

SUCCESS; A REVEALER.

It's so beautiful and exciting seeing the way everyone wants to identify with success. It's a thrilling feeling.

 A lot of us want results but we don't want to go through the process of becoming.

The way the athletes acknowledged God boldly during their interviews leaped joy in me. God over all. 

In the place of leaving it to God's timing and chance according to Ecclesiastes, they did not defy the place of consistency, commitment, endurance, sacrifice, and hard work in the process. 

They believe in the place of being swift, strong, skillful, wise, and understanding.

At times, we always want to hide under the umbrella of “God's grace" and a statement mostly used by complacent people, “the water I will drink will not bypass me".

My dear, wake up to reality.

Nothing happens in the limelight without the backstage experience. There is always a track record to the spectacular.

Congratulations 🎉 to Tobi Amusan, a gold medalist and world record holder at the World Athletics Championship in Oregon.

You are an inspiration and an epiphany that we can speak greatness with determination and commitment.

“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.
