CHAINS PART 4- COMPLACENCY

Complacency which could be a result of the praise of men is the real chain tying so many people to a spot. The voice of men is one of the channels through which God CONFIRMS one's purpose but not the main channel. How then, many people are misled by the voice of men having failed to discover their purpose existence, personally. The society has misled so many people with words such as these; "You are very good at singing; don't you think it is time to produce your own album?" "You have the gift of prophecy, don't you think God is calling you into ministry?" "You have the gift of leadership, don't you think God wants you to found your own church?" "Your love for children is so amazing, have you considered having a school?" "Oh! My brother, you are very funny, have you seen yourself being a comedian?". These words are true, most of the time. Just that one must be sure of the purpose of every of his poten...

CHAINS PART 3- THE PAST

The past is a chain! I mean a very strong fetters that can tie a man to a spot for the rest of his life. There are three major seasons of life, the past, the present and the future. The past holds the highest power to either push a man forward or limit him. Whichever of these dispensed on a man is dependent on his decision. Meaning, you can either allow your past (experiences) to progress or limit you. Experiences in the past are always in two folds, good and bad experiences. Beautiful and successful experiences of the past wreck more havoc on people's progress than even the negative experiences. Why? Because, it is easier to let go of the failures and negative experiences of the past than the successful and positive ones. The positive experiences always make one feel good. It makes one feel, oh! I have achieved! Hmm... The truth is, there is always much more to achieve than all you have achieved in the past. While people pray this popular prayer point- ...

CHAINS PART 2- IDENTITY CRISIS

A man who does not know himself is flexible to any kind of identity. You do not have a name or possibly you do not know your name if you answer every name you are called by everyone. So, the question is, WHO ARE YOU? If your answer to this question is based on the opinions of men about you, then, you do not know who you are. If your answer to this question is tied to your  mistakes, failures, background, past,  struggles, weaknesses, and strengths, I want to tell you, you have not known yourself. Do  not confuse your identity with flexible things. A man can be successful now and a failure in the next minute, does it mean who he is is flexible? No. In as much as it is not possible to change your name every day or week or year, your identity is unchangeable. Human beings truly attach situations around a person to his personality , this is an unbalance approach to identity placement. Because someone fails does not make him a failure, "to fail" is just an actio...

CHAINS PART 1- THE BASIS

Unless he is mad, no man smiles when bond with chains. How be it, multitudes of people giggle and laugh in chains.  Chain! The Advanced Learners Dictionary defines chain to be “a bond, fetter, confinement or captivity- a thing which prevents freedom of action”.  Though, chain is a multi-contextual word, we will be dealing with the ‘confinement context’ of it. When one is chained, movement is restrained. Then, such is said to be confined.  According to the law of nature, every living thing moves. Movement is one of those things that confirms a thing has life. This does not only have to do with physical movement but internal and in all wise. We have various types of movements, it is possible for a man to be in chains and still be able to move, but definitely not forward or as fast as he should move. Many people are confined to one spot on the journey of purpose(though you see them moving physically), not because of  lack of wisdom nor the knowledge of God b...
