YOU ARE NOT YOUR MISTAKE NEITHER YOUR FAILURES

Image

 The horror of failures and mistakes is not in them but in believing that your Identity is tied to them. The reason why it is difficult for some people to rise from the pit of failure is that, they have accepted it to be who they are so they stay there.
    Failure is the experience of not meeting expectations in one's endeavors. It is falling flat from the staircase of success,yet it's the stepping stone to success. While Mistake means committing an unintentional error.It is never intentional
    Mistakes and Failures are inevitable incidence that befall every human being on earth, just that it takes a different shape with individual. Infact, the unavoided criterion to be successful in life are Mistake and Failure. But then, can they define man? No!
Failure and Mistake are just experiences, though inevitable in the pathway of life. We make Mistakes that lead to failure in our endeavours but it does not mean we are silly.
   The Identity of Man is not hinged on his mistakes and failures infact they are not related at all.
   There is a king in the Bible. King David, David in his Season failed countless times due to his mistakes. He fornicated with a woman, killed  her husband and married the woman. David is a warrior that failed many times on the battlefield. Despite his mistakes and Failures,his identity did not change, forever, David is "A man after God's heart". What an identity?! God gave him this identity and that's who remained to be through out and after his days. Just because he never for once thought his identity is defined by his failures and mistakes.
    No matter how silly or shameful your mistakes and horrible your failures, they are just experiences that will pass by with time. Your mistakes are not YOU! You are who YOU ARE , you have an Identity beyond all of your mistakes just like king David.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner." Where...

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....

The Best Way To Fight Against Poverty

By
Poverty simply means lack of basic necessities of life. It means being poor in a specific aspect. Meaning that, one could be poor financially (Financial Poverty), spiritually (Spiritual Poverty), intellectually (Intellectual Poverty), morally (Moral Poverty). Appearantly, the major focus of the world is financial poverty. You are seen as being poor when you are broke. However, being broke is not the source nor the head of poverty. A man may be financially poor but intellectually, spiritually and morally rich. I often say it that, "money is not all man needs for life". So, if all you have or crave for is money, you are still a pauper. Financial Poverty is one of the strongest tools of the devil to win people into his kingdom. It is so strong that, even the so called "annointed of the Lord" are falling into the devil's trap through the tool.  Our society, especially a country like Nigeria where majority of the citizens are subjected to financial povert...
