Vickie's Vibes

As we get along in life, we fall, we rise, we meet people, we leave people. Life is a journey, you move every minutes. In the road to achieving our dreams and destiny in life, we also meet with different kinds of people, some will nock you down, some will raise you up, some will challenge you, some will encourage you, a lot will discourage you, in fact, a lot will plan to totally bring you down. In reality, the experience is intentionally designed by God to make you stand unshakable when you finally reach the mountain of fulfillment.      Friendship are people around you or in your life that they are neither too close nor far away from you. You might not necessarily be affectionately close but they are people you can call friends- Casual friends. Actually, many of them might not really be friends to you in their minds, but because their (negative or positive) acts challenge you, they are still your friends.     To achieve one's dream in life, you can...

Before birth, the mother would have been foreseeing her child growing up, she'd from pregnancy seen how the child would look like in the next ten years. But wait, if the mother refuse to feed the child after birth can the child grow as she had imagined?No! If not fed, the child is liable to die.        So also the dream of a man, if you imagine yourself being a trillionair tomorrow, if you don't tailor your daily life towards that dream, it will die. Every human being have great ideas God has created us with, but many of these ideas died of starvation.        Man dreams everyday about many things. Part of man's daily act is dreaming/ imagination. We dream and imagine about our tomorrow, how we want our marriages to look like, the kinds of job/career/profession we want to have, the way we would like to treat people, how we want to raise our children. All of these thoughts flow in the heart of man everyday. Obviously, no success in all t...

Every man in his sleep always has dream but does that make him a dreamer? No, he is only considered a sleeper.  What if a man has beautiful pictures of his tomorrow right in his heart and he stares at it every moment, can we say he is a dreamer on that note? No, he can be likened to just a sleeper. Who then is a true dreamer?  A true dreamer is a man who sees into his tomorrow and believes solely that he would be just what he has seen in his heart. A true dreamer is a man of awesome faith. (Heb. 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see). That is faith according to the word of God.  Any man who dreams good dreams about his tomorrow without believing in it cannot achieve the dream. A man of faith is the true dreamer. Faith is what pushes a man to action, it is the fuel of desire and aspiration to achieve one's dreams. Likewise, a true dreamer is a man of immense plans. No matter how knowledgeable a house builder can be, ...

"Dreams are not what you see while you sleep, it is that which does not let you sleep" Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. In essence, people with great dreams and aspirations do not sleep, hence their nights are meant for planning and navigation of their dreams. Night does not give lucid dreams to great men, they create their dreams at night. Sleeping is an essential part of every human being, but too much sleep kills destiny and dreams. Here we are not necessarily talking about the physical dream or sleep.      Dreamers are those who have discovered their purpose of existence and are working hard to make it real. Sleepers also are people who know what they should become but are doing nothing to call it forth. It is not enough to know or have the knowledge about who you want to be, the most important thing to know is that your work brings whatever it is to reality. Dreamers are those who see beyond today, they see far beyond their nose while sleepers are the shortsighted,...

Kari Jobe My Prophetess Kari Jobe is an American Christian worship singer and song writer. She started singing at age three (3). She became born again at age five(5). At age thirteen, this started to lead worship in church.   Ecclesiastes 12 vs 1"Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble came and the years approach when you will say, I have no pleasure in them."   The earlier you discover yourself, the better, don't walk long in the wrong way. This woman, in the earlier years of her life, she discovered herself and she lived in her dream. How do you find your own way?  The only where you can find your own way is the highway of Jesus. Run to the highway of Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. He will show you the way. Acknowledging that you are the His property makes you leave everything in His hands and the best time to seek God is Now!   Kari Jobe is 38, meaning she had known God for 33years, she started ...

Dream we are talking about here is not what you see while sleeping, it's an imagination of your heart. It is the picture of your future in your heart. Obviously, everyone has a dream, I've never seen anyone who never wants to become something either good or bad, that thing you want to become is your dream.            I can remember when I was a child, we used to play and act dramas, we used to divide roles, one would say, I would be a doctor, another would say, I would be the manager. And we would begin to mention our properties  like we were already living big. This kind of child's play indicates that every human being on earth have dreams.     Simply,         Aspiration is a burning desire to achieve something. It is a set out for goal. We have lots of dreamers but few aspirants.          Let us get it straight, Dream is not the same thing as Aspirations, they are two...

The Life Transformer!         Guess who we are talking about! Wherever this man appears, transformation is sure, 'cause the situation no matter how worse it could be, He would turn it around for good. Let me add this, without Him in your life, your life is void and nothing good can come out of nothing.        Do you want to know this man? He is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the life transformer. He is the lover of us all and His presence transforms Lives. Here what he says Mat 11:28 "Come to me, all you who ...

Reading is a type or an aspect of Listening.( Listening is a conscious act, it is paying attention to what is been spoken or read and interpreting it in your own language).         Reading is a way of perceiving written symbol. The most active way of learning is Reading. When you are reading, you take letters,convert it to word, convert the words to sound,then convert it to vision. All of that you do while reading which is a way of tasking your brain and making it active.         Reading is a way of teaching yourself, it's like you are speaking to yourself, you are speaking and interpreting the mind of the author to yourself. The best way to learn is reading, because what you teach yourself and know by yourself is superior to whatever you are taught. You are teaching yourself when you are reading.          Saddening, people in our societies, even students have shunned and neglected the best way to lea...

Transformational tools are those instruments that are capable of transforming lives. Instruments in the society that can impact and influence someone. In our society, we have various transformational tools, but the major ones are those we will examine. Note; these tools might have their negative sides but we are being positive, our focus is on the positive sides. Music  Music is a universal language, it spreads like a wildfire. One of the best ways to get an information across the globe is by Singing it. Majority of the lives lead by youths of these days are imitations from music. Music has a great influence on the society. When a new music is released, it's not only the songs that spread, the style of the musician, the dressing and dancing steps spread together with the music and the flame is all over the places. Bad or good, music is a tool that is capable of impacting lives. But the question is, which kind of influence would you like it has on you? If it ...

People these days wander a lot, and the reason simply is, they are living for others, not for themselves. In other words, they live a very reckless and nonechalant life, a life of no attention to oneself.        The best person you should know is yoursel. It is ironic to say many people are living without knowing who they are and what they want. Meanwhile that is the reality. Know this that, no matter how close anybody can be to you, such person can not know you( I mean all of you can not be known),it is what you know about yourself that you communicate to people around you, and what you communicate to them determines how they treat you. Since no man can know you better than you can know yourself, the question is,what do you know about yourself? Do you have a personal diary for Self-Study?      To Know yourself entails the ability to study yourself and set your priorities. If you ask some people, what do you want? They don't know, they have...

Human beings do not grow up same day we are born, it takes time to grow. Also, growing up to the stage of maturity in all manners and areas is not an overnight course, it takes time, work and concrete experiences. At a time, a man would think he has known it, another time a strange experience would befall on him, then began to feel like a baby. So, relax, no body has known it all, we learn until we die, but the most horrible thing is that a man should refuse learn.        To grow is not a day job, you have to follow yourself up and see yourself yielding. The following are the few things you must do to grow yourself to the level of maturity in any area;  Growth is A Gradual Process The first is, understand that growth is a process, it's achieved through experiences. There are so many things you can not learn about until you experience the situations. Man needs to be mature Emotionally, Socially, Spiritually, Sexually and in Relationship wise. It takes...

Let us examine this scenario. A 16year old boy works as a service staff in one of the departments in a company where a 40year old woman  is the head of that  department. The boy came late to work on a fateful morning and as he was running to take up his duty, the woman who is his boss just lands a hot slap on his face before he could finish saying good morning and the woman starts to scream, you stupid brat kept us out here for more than one hour!  The inside there is dusty and we just have to be outside here,we could not even attend to customers. This boy, without any sign of disappointment in his face, prostrates flat like a lizard and said, madam, I am sorry for coming late this morning. After the scene, he quickly gets his daily work done.       Can you perceive the immaturity in the behaviour of that woman and the high level of maturity in the boy's reaction? What an irony. According to science, we can say she's a mature woman because of he...

We are in a society where everybody seems to be dependent on one another for their growth which is an iota of ignorance. Ignorance has caused a lot of people to miss their place in life through dependency on their fellow men to develop them where they should develop themselves.             In this kind of society we are in, any man who sets out not to depend on anyone is seen as an abnormal being. Truly, the person is not normal because the society we are in is used to uniformity of lifestyle, so if you make yourself different, you are definitely not normal. What are we saying? Living a transformational life should not be something of the society as majority see it, it is a personal responsibility which our society is too myopic to see. If you must make a difference, it must be through your personal efforts.         However, personal Transformation as I will define it is, " an act, a process of making a visible and posit...

There is only one perfect Relationship a man can involve in, the Relationship with God. This is where man can rest in the arms of God.        Before the creation of man, God had it in His mind to create man for the purpose of fellowship and Communion With Him, that is why God would come in the cool of the day to fellowship with man on earth.  The desire of God has been that men should be before him in  Communion and after the fell of man, God sought for a way to bring man back in to the kind of fellowship and Relationship that existed in the garden of Eden between Him and Adam, therefore God sent forth His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for us, after His death and resurrection, He sent unto us The Holy Spirit through who we can communicate and relate with Him as it was in the beginning (1corinthians 1vs 9).       In essence, to establish a relationship with God, you need to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour and r...

It is always good for a man to be reserved but not quiet and holding back when it's time to take up responsibility. Every location or society you find yourself, God has placed you there to effect change, You are there to make impact. And that is why God established Relationships, so that we will be able to carry out the assignment wherever we find ourselves.       God is a purposeful God, wherever he places you today is for a particular purpose, strive to know the purpose. A lot of people think it's a big work to affect lives, you see, your behaviours and manners, your attitudes, your dressing, your simple way of life can affect lives. Those people you frown at while coming from work will hiss when they know you are leaving the street, because you were useless to them, but assume that you've been one who greets with smiles while you were there time, they would have checked on you and care. One secret about greeting is that, it communicates value, it shows that...

Love is characterised by "a strong affection". In my own way, I will say, love is a passionate feeling for someone or something. Love is Passion. Whatever a man has passion for, he can die for it, meaning, there is nothing he can not do to get it, because of PASSION.       If love  will come in action, it must be with passion and a true love is not displayed in words but in deeds. Loving your neighbor with passion is a great sacrifice that might not be convenient for a natural man to pay. But there is someone who has shown his love for humanity by laying down his Life. Jesus Christ the son of God(Love). God is the perfect lover and his only begotten son has come to display the love of the father to us. So,if you don't have Him in you, it is not possible for you to love with passion. It is only through him and in him you can learn to love with passion (in action).          1John 4:15-16 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son ...

  It is pertinent to understand that, no human can survive without interacting with other human beings. However, many people think their surviver is hinged on relationship with a particular person or set of people. Which is not so, the kind of interaction we are talking about is not an attachment with a particular person.Truly in our societies,we find ourselves in social gatherings, and there we mingle with people, we meet and get along with friends.        We meet friends, we relate with people interpersonally, we talk about life, we share love, and become intimate during the process. During that process we realize that friendship is one of the best relationship in the society.  Even though,it is not every relationship that matters. We need to draw the line, every relationship can not benefit us no matter how, unless you don't have values that guide your life.        Friendship as a kind of relationship in the society that b...

 Relationship as been established by God is a bond of unity and 'socialialisation'. Socialization is the process of social interaction with people. Communication and interaction with one another is that thing called relationship. "Relationship is one of the few meaningful things in life. In it, human  needs which include certainty, variety, significance, love/connection, growth and contribution are fulfilled", Simran Kaushik. This saying of Simran Kaushik is what I strongly agree with after a deep meditation on the importance of relationship.       Truly, human beings do not like to be static, we hate to stick to just one thing. To say the fact, it can weary you if all you have and see every day is the same thing, but relationship creates the chance for men to mingle with varieties of people in the society, it gives the chance for you to love and be loved, it makes you feel significant. In relating with people, you learn and grow and it al...

Relationship is an act of relating with one person or a group of people. It simply means 'connection' or interaction among people in the society.          When we talk about relationship, a large number of people think and focus on marital or romantic relationship between just a man and a woman, if that is the case, what is the name of what exist between a mother and her children, a landlord and his tenants? Is there not any connection between the market women and the one who goes to buy something from them? We believe that the 'soul' of relationship is communication. Right? The question now is that, is it only two people involved in romantic relationship that communicate? No.       Friends communicate, a boss communicates with his employees, a couple communicate with people around them, children communicate with their parents. All of these communications are what we call in a whole, relationship. Not necessarily between a man and a wo...

What does the word relationship means? Does it connote two people holding each other's hands and walking on the street? Is it a picture of two hearts connected? Is it really about dating?         When we talk about relationship, the focus of many is on two people involved with themselves, but no, that's not relationship, rather it's an aspect of it. So what then is a relationship? A Relationship simply means, 'Connection' or 'interaction' between two or a group people. The strength of surviver of human being is largely dependent on relationship.       Human beings as living things on the territory called Earth can never survive without relationship. How? Our make up is from the on set "social". We are social be...ing, we exist on the strength of relationships. We interact with people around us, we interact with nature, we interact with God through our spirit. Without interaction, Man is not Man.          Theref...

Excellency is A STATE of being SUPERIOR and OUTSTANDING. "A STATE" connotes that, it is a position. Excellency is a shift from base to top, but I guess movement is an effort, so before you reach the top you must make a move, you can't get there by magic.        Everyone deserve to Excell in all of their daily endeavours, but it is a pity that many people fail to understand that Excellency does not come by chance. It comes by work and true sacrifice. I have heard a lot of people praying to Excell, yes prayer works,  but here your effort is needed. There is a life principle attached to Excellency. Excellency is not only by Grace, favour and Mercy, it does not come by gift or talent. The principle is "Work hard and Excell".       During conversation with a friend she said "during exams when I was in school, anytime I read my book, back to back, I used to go into the exam hall with fullness of joy in my heart and confidence in myself. And ...

Here is a young man who is not tired of raising funds for orphanages. 80% of his income is spent on orphans, in fact you will never see him in good clothes. You can never imagine that a man of his status can live in such an apartment where he lives. Now I began to question myself, what can be the force behind this man's actions? What is driving him to do all these? Why is he suffering himself because of the orphans? Is he an orphan too? All these questions I could not find an answer to. I thought again in my mind, can it be passion? I concluded. It is passion.         Passion is what I call an "uncontrollable desire" towards or to achieve something. Passion is like a river that never flows backward, once the zeal and determination is sparked, nothing turns down the fire, passion is a powerful emotion towards something. Whatsoever a man has passion for, becomes his "must do". If he doesn't do or achieve that thing, he will not stop to press on,bec...

 In learning how to build up your confidence, you must first learn how to successfully manage your own life and keep it in progression and not regression. When your life moves forward positively, it stirs up your confidence and you will want to move forward the more.     People who work in companies can tell how much effort it takes to develop and keep the company going. The CEO takes extra efforts to make sure the company does not lag behind. Take a view into your society, you will realize that companies which the CEOs are  weak to manage well would refuse to develop.     Now, just view your life as a company and you as the CEO. Here are few important measures for the successful management of a company, you must also apply them to your life to be a successful manager of your own life. The name of the company :   Do your company have a name? Every company has a name that it is called by and it is known with and by that name. So, as the name ...
