We move!  The ability to move is movement. My online English Dictionary also defines it as "physical motion between points in space". However, once a physical motion is achieved, there is movement. The first before breathing is movement. Movement is the first and part of the characteristics of living things. You would be surprised that movement is priotized over respiration in arrangement.  In other words, every livingthings move, either slowly, fastly, or anyhow, we move! Yes, we move but in deferent pace. Our destinations are different, so, the maps, the paths, the time pace to reach the destinations are also different. Every living things have the ability to move, which we know, but most importantly, we must come to the realization that it has to be in different ways and pace.  Have you ever noticed this, when you take a walk with a friend, even your twin brother/sister, no matter how uniform your footsteps, it can never be taken the same way? Why? Because,...

Can you see a DIAMOND SPOON GENERATION coming? If you can not, shine your eyes very well, because it's a stone's throw away. It used to be SILVER SPOON. Now, it is GOLDEN SPOON and later it will be diamond. Don't you think that's a food for thought? A good reason why you should not only seek to get a golden spoon, but also dig well for the diamond spoon? Because, we emerge in a twinkling of an eye, a generation that only eats with diamond spoon. If you don't want to die of starvation in the next generation, you need to hold in your hand a diamond spoon. The point I'm simply driving at is, as day passes by, new things keep coming forth and like Jesus Christ said, you can't put a new wine in an old cup. Therefore, the cup needs to be refined to be able to hold  new wine. Same way you need to upgrade yourself to be able to fit in to the new era/world. You need to upgrade yourself, spiritually (so that you can fit in to the plans of God for the next ...

You are who you are and not a mother! Motherhood is never and can never be your *identity*. Remember, you were somebody even before you got married and somebody before you became a mother. You are who you are and not a mother. Yeah! I mean what I wrote. Motherhood is only a role in your lifetime and not your definition. If all that defines you as a woman is motherhood, you are have missed some steps you need to retrace back as soon as possible. A woman is a being with many role, even at a time. She could be a wife, a friend, a girl, a cook, a mother, a sister, a house maid, a counselor, even at a time. So, it happens that many young ladies are only preparing to become a good mother in their marriages. That is a totally wrong mindset. What about being who you are, I mean living in your true identity and prepare to take each role? When you live in your true identity and you believe in yourself, it will be easier for you to take each and every role of your life effectively and...

I would have loved to film this and post it  on my YouTube channel (The Life Manager's Channel), but it was impossible for me because of lack of gadgets, but I hope you will enjoy reading.  My YouTube channel link: https://youtu.be/REXJ5nHUsmA please subscribe. I grew up to hate myself. Though loved by a few, my parents and siblings. Maybe some friends also loved me, I didn't know. I used to always think that every one was better than me. I wanted to please everyone at all cost. Anyone could abuse, insult, embarrass and do all sort yet got away with it. I would praise people for the little they did and talk myself down on the huge I did. I never saw anything good about myself. A word of praise used to seem to me like a mock. When it's time to take pictures, what used to run in my head is, after all I'm not beautiful. I used to look so rough and unkempt in the name of who would value my neatness. My mother's conclusion was that, I could not be easily plea...

Life is beautiful and more beautiful with Jesus. There is something beautiful about everything and stages in life, it depends on your own personal disposition to and understanding about each of them. The beauty of life lies in understanding the principles that beautify each season and spheres of life. Let me show you some of the principles: The beauty of living is living with God. The beauty of human is the air in his nostrils. The beauty of manhood is power. The beauty of  womanhood is virtue. The beauty of childhood is his obedience. The beauty of selfhood is self-love. The beauty of Youth is strength. The beauty of singlehood is purity. The beauty of friendship secrecy. The beauty of marriage is oneness. The beauty of motherhood is (God's) Wisdom. The beauty of fatherhood is freedom and flexibility. The beauty of adulthood is settlement (living in purpose). The beauty of old age peace and good health.

Most times, Appearance shows the manner but not the worth of a person. How do I mean? I mean that, your appearance is not your worth.      Sometime ago, during my primary school days, a group of people came to my school to educate us about healthy diet/nutrition, they came with a lot of gifts like tooth brush, blue band(bread spread) etc.to be given to pupils who correctly answered their questions. But it's a thing of surprise that ninety percent (90%) of the gifts they gave that day went to two kids of the same parents who appeared in rough school uniform with no school sandals not even slippers. They should be considered poor because of their appearance but richest because of the value (of intelligence and brilliance) they carried. Your value is not in what you wear.      It is true that our dressing and our appearance have a long way to go in identifying who we are. But is not also a lie that what you wear is not synonymous to the value you c...

Being ignorant of the fact that worry changes nothing, I used to sit down for hours even in the middle of the night to think and think and worry and cry about the situations around my life. Actually, I wasn't the only one in that shoe, there are even still a lot of people in this shoe that I've thrown into a bottomless pit. What is the meaning of the word "worry"?      Painting the word in my own way, Worry is an act of suffocating oneself with needless thoughts. It is trying to manipulate your thoughts around a critical situation that is definitely unchangeable for man.  Worry is a supresser of morale, a second of worry, a cubit of morale crushed.  According to the scripture, Worry is an act of being faithless. It is the end-product of faithlessness or lack of faith in God's word.  Simply, it is underrating (the power of the word of) God. Because, God commanded us in the scripture that, we should not worry about anything. Therefore I tell you, ...
