BLINK



We really, sometimes, don't want to process how fleeting life is.

 We make use of our lives and opportunities like we have some reserved somewhere else.

I almost witnessed an accident and I can still remember how I felt seeing the lady under the bus.

  I couldn't begin to imagine what was going through her mind as students and some passers-by tried to raise the bus, in order to rescue her.

A lot of persons have died that way and more have died in lesser ways than that.

We really don't ever reflect, all we do or say something like "wow, she has gone, this life ehn". 

 We sympathise with them and move on with our lives, not getting any lesson but just doing the norm; lamentation.

 Things that are life threatening and even near death experiences are meant to shake us and make us take life seriously, knowing fully well that we would all give an account of our lives.

 We busy ourselves with desires and wants of life, forgetting our mandate on earth and who we represent.

 It takes just a blink for us to leave this world, just a blink for it to be all over.

 The earlier we focus on what matters most (God) and leave those things which we so desire and want, that irrespective of how we try, we still can't do it the way He does, the better for us.

 Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee".

 When our lives (minds) are stayed on Him, we would be confident in life and not worry about the things of the world or be scared when it's time to go back home (heaven).

    I like the scripture, everything becomes calm and focus is restored when we stay on God

    This world is temporal; heaven is eternal. We should remain focused on the eternal.
    Beautiful piece.

THE LIMITLESS YOU FORMATION!

Image
Oxford dictionary defined LIMITLESS as: "being without end, limit, or boundary." It is a well known fact that man only uses 10% of his brain's capacity and only a few men have attempted using it to that point. Men like, Albert Einstein, Da Vinci e.t.c, and their works still impacts lives till tomorrow. Let me paint a picture of how great and amazing man is. "Man is a universe of greatness; he is so limitless in space that the limitless Creator of the universe can occupy him." Now I want you to ponder on that for a moment! To explain how limitless you are we have to go to our roots, our spirit. Man is made up of spirit, soul and body. He is a spirit who has a soul and he lives in a body. The main part of man that both keeps him alive and fuels the soul and body is his spirit. For once his spirit leaves, the body dies. There is no formation of a LIMITLESS man without a LIMITLESS GOD living in the LIMITLESS MAN. Man has devised so many means of t

DESIRES

                           It is a known fact that when we're attracted to a person. Our bodies have a way of tuning to want that person. A kiss would stir up a lot of other series of action.  A clap often than not leads to a dance. There are lots of relationships where the unmarried couples pray together and sleep together. God cannot be mocked neither can He fellowship in the same place where sin constantly frolics; Jeremiah 16:17 - For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. A Godly relationship is one in which the couple understands all the scientific and factual 'chemistries' that go on between their bodies but decide to put God as priority, the relationship becomes an altar for God to dwell. Measures need to be in place because as much as you do not want to indulge in any preactivity that might lead to falling into sin, saying it isn't just enough. Praying and acting on the

IF

"If I had written the exams at an older age, I would have passed" "If I had grown up with my parents, I would have chosen a better spouse" "If I didn't go to a polythenic, I should have been done with school by now" "If I had followed them to the party, I would have gotten that business card and probably would have gotten the job" These are the comments I got from friends that I asked concerning their "if" moments: If I loved my course of study from the onset, i would have graduated with a 1st class. If I hadn’t eaten so much, I wouldn’t be struggling with my weight. If I wasn’t scared and ashamed to rewrite jamb, maybe I would have gotten law and I wouldn’t be stressing over what to do when I graduate. If I had known I was enough for my happiness I wouldn't have relied on other people for my happiness. If I was not the first person in my family to attend university, I wouldn't have had some acade
