You Are The Master of your thought

Eniti a fun ni imoran buburu to de gba; ero buburu yen gan ti wa ninu e tele ni, anfani lasan la fun lati le te ife inu e lorun.
Enia fun'rare gan ni eku edá.

A pure-minded man does not suddenly fall into committing an act of wickedness by mere external influence; the wicked thought had long been secretly fostered in his heart, and the hour of opportunity revealed its gathered power.
Man is the lord and master of his own thought, the maker of himself, and the shaper of his environment.

Abi, am i mad?

I can liken NIGERIANS to a rich man who is the victim of a painful and persistent disease as a result of gluttony. While he's willing to give large sums of money to get rid of the disease, he's not ready to give up his gluttonous desires. He wants to satisfy his taste for rich and unnatural food and have his health as well. Such a man is totally unfit to have health, because he has not yet learnt the basic principles of a healthy life.

This is illustrative of the fact that NIGERIANS  are the cause of their circumstances. Whilst aiming at a good end, they are continually frustrating its accomplishment by encouraging thoughts, desires and actions which are not in harmony with that end.
They are revolting against an effect while at the same time nourishing and preserving its cause.

Abi, am I mad?!

Why Can't i be differrent

Why can't I be different?
Why can't I be myself?
It's smooth to blend but onerous to impersonate.

Why can't I be different?
Why can't I be myself?
It's convenient to blend but fleeting is the hurrah.

Why can't I be different?
Why can't I be myself?
When the burden to blend voids the opportunity to be phenomenal.

Negative Holiness

What most of us (including myself)  practice Is what I call NEGATIVE HOLINESS. That is, we ABHOR/AVOID that which is evil/bad, but we do not commit ourselves to DOING that which is good/right.

Superior Convenant

They envied his coat of many colours and stripped him of it
But a covenant that was of a superior quality was really his covering and not the coat‎
Without his coat of many colours, he survived in the pit, was favoured in the prison and excelled in the court of Pharaoh
We are more than whatever they can take from us‎
For no tragedy can annul this covenant‎

Our DNA

It is not where they seat us that makes us who we are. It's what we are that gives relevance to where we sit.‎
The decree a king makes while sitting on a bicycle is as valid as the one he makes from the throne.
Our substance is not in a badge. It's in our DNA.

Unity not Uniform

We may not be UNIFORM but we can still be UNITED.

Unity not Uniform. 1 Cor 1:10

What unites us in the body of Christ is the death and resurrection of Christ.
What unites us is the fellowship we share in his name.
What unites us is the message of LOVE he taught as the greatest, and which he wants us to demostrate.

Only the unity of mind and thought can bring about the true service he has called us into, and which is our true essence. Uniformity (everybody looking or doing the same thing) is only putting up a show.

If we are not unified in mind and thought, we'll still remain divided regardless of the uniform we put on.

Human beings are not robots. We cannot all be the same.
The body of Christ is not a cult. Folks should not be bullied to 'fit' in.

What unites us is the bigger picture that should be our focus, not how we differ as individuals.

Don't fight knowledge

Knowledge is bigger than anybody. Don't be too proud to learn and improve when new knowledge exposes your ignorance on any subject, else you'll just be making a fool of yourself upandan.

Continuous improvement loro aye yi o. Get knowledge or die ignorant.

If it's wrong, it's wrong

Wrong is wrong.

That it's popular and widely accepted would not make it right.

Create Your Own Path

The path that many of us are following today was somebody's decision to go in the direction that was not popular.

They risked everything when others were being careful.
They remained committed when others mocked their decision.
They were undaunted in the face of strong challenges.
They held on to their convictions even when they had lost all other resources.

You are travelling on other's path-- convenient and smooth right?
But you can only go as far as they went unless you are willing to take their kind of risk.
Their horizon will be your horizon unless you are determined to see further.
You'll leave no remembrance unless you create your own path.

Types of Epps

Orisirisi epp lo wa. Let me share with you the 7 types I have experienced:

1. Some will epp and make you feel diminished.
2. Some will epp so that they can use you.
3. Some will epp and tell everybody that they epped you. Those who openly fulfil the assistance you asked for in private also fall under this category.
4. Some will do the epp small small so that you can keep coming back to them like they are your creator.
5. Some will epp you and keep calling you daily to remind you to thank them for epping you.
6. Some will epp you and take advantage of your situation to demand for something precious to you in exchange for the epp.
7. Some will HELP you because they are destined to do it.

Eppers po, but there's only one helper.

Smart phone, Dumb user

Mobile technology has offered plenty of benefits that can be employed to make life convenient and easy, but to many dumb users it's just a style statement more than anything else. What thrills dumb smartphone owners is the fact that they own one, not that they know how to use the smart features to serve them any good.
If you must splurge on one of those fanciful gadgets, then take the pain to learn how it works.
A smart phone in the hand of a dumb user is simply a flashy liability to draw attention to appear smart.

Train Gist

Walahi, the gist was too lit and I didn't want to get off the train. Everything the man said on the phone to his brother was A*s.

I'll try my best to put it all in his words..i laughed at some point....but it was a serious matter. He wasn't happy.

I'll put his age at around early 50, he's educated judging from the conversation.

After he had 'KI' for somebody, I think a lady, whose phone (brand new he bought for her)  is always unreachable, he sorted out the feeding money of the families....he then started the conversation which is the real gist I want to give you.

Man: Broda mi, e wa productive....all the time church....church.....for over 19months te ti n lo, nothing has changed. Se e ri wipe o ye ke change plans. E lo qualifications  and experience yin and get productive.
Mo n so t'emi o! Olorun ko le n sin pelu be se nse yi o. Olorun o roro to bi e se mu yi o. You have your bible that you can read by yourself, to de ma enlighten yin. E ma lo si church Monday morning, Monday evening.....Tuesday afternoon.....you are not productive.

(Brother tries to prove a point)

Man: But lati ojo ti e ti n pariwo 'die...die...die....' for the past 2yrs, Talo ti ku? Ki lo ti die? Broda mi, ko si nkankan to ma die. Won kan tan yin ni. (I laughed at this point)

(Brother talks again)

Man: Camp wo le so wipe e lo? How many days programme le tun se? Kilo wa sele leyin e? E wo broda mi, read your bible yourself and get productive. e ma kan je ki awon people yi ma tan yin je. Poverty lo fa. To ba je wipe the nation is functioning properly ni, ti olukaluku n'ise to n se or businesses to n run, who'll attend all these their 49days of vigil.....30days of fasting?  Broda mi, e o kan le ma sun ki e ma ji, ki e ma lo si church...ki e wa ma so wipe nkan difficult. Ofcourse it'll be difficult because you are not productive.
Gbogbo awon people yi ti won nparo fun yin pelu church ni Olorun ma mu patapata. Everybody lo ma ku...
Broda mi, mo nso t'emi o.....

Not by suits, but by fruits

You can choose to wear a 5-piece suit or sew your skirt as long as Chief okotie-Eboh's wrapper--- mi o ni jisoro. Packaging lasan ni. Iwa inu aye yin gangan is my reality.
We got it all wrong from the point where we started to focus on the tree rather than the fruits. It all went to the dogs the moment we ignored the warning of Christ.

Distractions

You are likely not to reach your destination if you stop to cast stones at every dog that barks at you.

Some challenges come disguised as distractions to gain penetration after which it becomes a full blown trouble that cannot be contained.

Many are only equipped  to combat challenges but not distractions, which though subtle in form, are equally as deadly.

Distractions are to be ignored because they are designed to divert your attention from what is important to what is inconsequential---the same raison d'être of challenges.

The Judge

I went and sat at a busy bus stop this evening and started to judge everyone I saw.‎
As buses after buses arrived, i judged everyone I could lay my eyes on based on their physical features. From their hair-do, tatoo design, placements of the tattoo, mini skirt, long skirt, mini gown, shirtless, braless, tshirt, bumshorts, beard gang, thongs, grandma pants, piercings, makeup, public smoking, long gown, suit and tie, pumps, heels, flipflop, loud talker, yoga pants, bogus sunglasses, coloured hair, push up bras, slimfit jeans, potbelly, hijab, long nails, false eyelashes, smartly dressed, sagged jeans.
I judged and judged...and judged.
‎
I was so good in my judgement that by mere looking at these features, I could within few seconds determine the sinner, godly, home breaker, prostitute, fraudster, liar,‎ honest, heaven-bound, hell-bound, criminal, homosexual, cheat, wise, foolish, hardworking, dirty, lazy, psychopath, child-molester, good husband, bad wife, rapist, talented, rich, poor, smart, dullard, proud, wicked, humble, glutton, racist.‎

I guess few people judged me as well because i saw the way some of them stared at me, but i'm not bothered because they cannot be correct in their assessment of me.
‎
I'm now on my way home---feeling so fulfilled and proud of myself that I was able to judge others correctly while none could be right about me.‎

What are you writing?

Awon kan lo ko itan ran yin de ibiti o de loni. Your own birth handed you a blank sheet to continue the story from where they stopped. ‎

Some ain't writing anything new. Just busy yarning about the past generation.

Some are busy duplicating what the past generation had written -- their commas, full stops and even spelling errors.

Some are writing new stories. Setting new boundaries. Conquering new heights. Gaining more territories. ‎

What are you writing?‎ Are you also waiting for the generation next to ask you some of the questions you wished to ask the generation past?

Too Anointed to be Corrected

In Paul’s Letter to the Galatians in Gal 2: 11-21, he wrote that he rebuked Peter “to his face because he clearly was wrong.”
‎
What led to this was Peter’s hypocrisy in insisting that the Gentiles follow Jewish rules rendered obsolete by Jesus Christ. So‎ Paul moved swiftly to openly correct Peter when he ‎saw that he and the others were inconsistent with the truth of the gospel.‎
‎
Let me explain the odd thing here as per today's christianity parole. Paul was a subject of Peter by all standard. Don't forget we are talking of the Peter who wined and dined with Jesus Christ throughout his earthly ministry. The Peter who walked on the sea. The Peter who was on the mount of Transfiguration. The Peter whom Christ handed the church to. So for levels matter we can say Peter na most senior apostle, whereas Saul, who later became Paul, na baby apostle. ‎

The million dollar question is can this happen in today's christianity? How many of these senior men wey never even see John the Baptist before, talk less of Jesus Christ can be RESPECTFULLY ADVISED, not even corrected privately not to talk of openly o?!!!
Men who have not even gone through the tiniest persecution which some of the apostles of old went through will be feeling unquestionable.
They want to lord their own opinion over you but nobody can make them see reason even in the light of the word of God. It's their way or no way.‎

This example of what Paul did was given so that if those who govern sometimes stray from the right way, they will not reject a correction as unworthy even if it comes from their subjects.

READ YOUR BIBLE. E ma kan ma gbe lo, gbe bo.

User's Template

Are you starting a business, church, NGO?
Do you have an idea but confused on how to launch it?
Do you quickly want to become a boss that cannot be challenged?
Do you think you are being used?
Do you want to know the warning signs to avoid being used?
Do you want to play users at their own game?

Then this post is for you. I bring you the good news of the step by step approach to make your dream come through, or to break free from the traps of the users.

1. Identify people with the set skills, talents and personalities that you require.

2. Sell the idea to them. This is the most critical stage. Do whatever it takes. Say whatever you have to say, even if you don't mean it.

3. Start using them to build. Be very fast at this stage. Use them as much as you can. Play along with them. Tolerate even their excesses and what you hate about them In this period. Just keep on using them.

4. Before they start having any sense of entitlement, disengage and part with them. At this stage you already have what you need. The structure is built. So start acting stubborn. Irritate them. Do whatever it takes to make them leave. Be brutal. Retain the weak and sycophants among them, they'll be references to instil confidence in the minds of the new people you'll be getting that you are loyal.

5. Get fresh people in. People who don't know your story. These are the people who'll give you the respect you want. Since they are coming in to join what has already been built, they'll simply marvel at the great work you have done and worship you. The sycophants you retained will also help boost your ratings with these new sets.

6. Set codes and markers. Lock up their minds. Become a law and authority.

7. Be scarce. Cut communication. If you must communicate use trusted errands. Be the boss.

This approach guarantees 100% success.

In most relationships these days, it's either you are being used or you are using somebody. It's a wicked world.

Oja odaju n'ile aye, o ni lati mo ra.
