In the last 10yrs, I believe I can count the number of instances things have turned out exactly as I had planned, starting with 2013 most especially😊. That was a whirlwind year.

Still, my life is unfolding according to His design. Because I believe the next ten years will put the last ten in perspective.

Friends, be confident as I am that nothing has happened to you by accident. All things are working according to His design, and for your good.

Stay optimistic!!🤗

Some disappointments are simply blessings in disguise.

They certainly don't feel like blessings when they happen, but time usually reveals them for what they are.

Can you think of any disappointment in your life that turned out to be a blessing?

Do this exercise: Write down the scriptures that slap you in the face every time you read them.

Also write down the ones you are seeing come to pass in your life.

Express gratitude to God and rejoice over those words of scripture, fulfilled and unfulfilled.

Keep your notes.

Review in a year.

I'm not making any promises because I didn't write scripture but this one thing I know - God is faithful to His Word and you won't catch him in a lie.

If people don't value what you do, that only means they have no need for it.

But there will always be people who do.

And because human needs are dynamic, even those who have no need for your work today may need them tomorrow.

So, show up for people who value your work today, and those who will come to value it in the nearest future.

Bottom line: Don't be deceived by numbers, your work is valuable.

Give, and it will come back to you.
Withhold what you have all you want, it will still leave you one way or another, or you'll leave it one day.

In other words, you have the power to determine how your possessions leave you: willingly or by force; temporarily or permanently.

In other other words, giving is actually a form of investing😊🔥

When you encounter everyday hassles and complain to men, they say: "sorry for the inconvenience".
Take the same complaint to God, and He'd say: "learn from the inconvenience".

God doesn't apologize for our troubles. Rather, He uses them to direct our attention to things we may otherwise miss.

So the next time you find yourself in disconcerting circumstances, don't complain, pay attention; there's always a learning point therein.

Just like you don't wait on the government to generate power for you when you need it, don't wait for the environment to generate peace for you.

Generate your own peace, in your own heart and mind, with your own prayer and supplication with thanksgiving.

And just like you can supply power to your neighbour without the means to generate their own, when your own mind is at peace, then you can sow peace into your surroundings.

Godspeed✌

"Look at the birds of the air....... consider the lillies...."

That was Jesus' admonition when he was talking about the futility of worry.

Because what you're looking at determines your perception about life.

That's why when you sit with nature and all you're seeing are beautiful flowers, and birds singing, you feel at peace, you feel gratitude.

But when you get to work and see the chaos, you can internalize that and feel frustrated.

When you come on Instagram and see the displays, you can internalize that and feel discontent.

I think I'll change my wallpaper to a picture of birds and lilies, because that is all I want to be seeing now.

Peace🕊🌸

We are not all wired the same way, we don't appreciate the same things.

Some people look at a work of art worth millions of naira and wonder what the artist was thinking putting such an amount on his work.

While others pay the price for the art with joy.

Never judge your work by its reception, judge it by how it makes you feel, what it means to you.

Keep hitting it!!

When couples seek treatment for infertility, one of the very first questions we ask is, how frequently are you 'hitting it'?

When they say once or twice a week, we say you have to increase the frequency.

Meaning that to achieve the desired results even at things you love doing, you have to do it more frequently than you would ordinarily.

Are you still with me??

We're talking about goals!!

If you have not achieved your desired results, it means whatever you're doing, do it more frequently!!

Stay the course, the end is big still.

I watched a documentary once about a young girl who was bullied in school because of the way she looked. She was tall and slim and had a different build than her counterparts.

Years later, those same attributes qualified her to contest for beauty pageants and eventually she became a beauty queen.

Don't conclude on your future by the way things appear today. In fact the appearances in your life today will qualify you to be a model of favour tommorrow.

People who see your now and your tommorrow will conclude without being preached to, that you are indeed blessed and highly favoured.

Believe it. Live it.

If God gave you everything you asked for right when you ask, you'd never know him.

Or your knowledge of him will be incomplete at best. You'd only know him as a giver and not know him as a teacher.

Yet, he teaches you in your waiting season virtues which help you withstand the pressure of harvest.

Friends, God is not only a giver, he is also a teacher. So when you have not received what you desire, what should be your question??

Teacher, what are you teaching me??
