Cry Out! That is Your Weapon

Young man, I want to remind you of something crucial as you continue your journey. You must realize that, on your own, you are weak and incapable of achieving anything without God. One of the greatest weapons God has given you to defend yourself and to fight the enemy is the ability to cry out to Him for help. You cannot navigate this world alone, and you cannot win the battles you face by your own strength. Many young men have tried to fight life's battles on their own, only to be destroyed by them. Though they remain alive, they are spiritually defeated. You must learn to call out to God for help, loudly and constantly. You do not have everything figured out. God has said that He sends you out like a lamb among wolves, a powerful image that reveals your deep need for Him. He is not even sending you out as a grown sheep, but as a lamb, young and vulnerable. This signifies your utter dependence on His strength and power to survive the hostile environment around you. David, the son

Embrace the Seasons of Life

 Life, like nature, operates in seasons, and each season demands its own unique preparation, young man. There is the season of cultivation and planting, where efforts and resources are sown. This is followed by the season of nurturing, where the focus is on careful tending, allowing growth to take root. Then comes the season of fruition, a time when the results of past efforts begin to manifest, leading to the season of harvest, where the fruits of labor are gathered. However, the cycle doesn’t end with the harvest. There is also a season for further processing where refinement, transformation, and consolidation take place, shaping what has been harvested into something even more valuable. And then, once again, comes the time for planting: this time at a higher level, enriched by the lessons learned from previous cycles. The process continues, advancing to new stages of growth and opportunity. This cyclical journey mirrors the journey of life and purpose, moving ever forward toward the

Avoid competition, life is not a game

 Life is not a game. Avoid competition. True wisdom lies in learning not to compete with others. It is the hallmark of maturity to understand that life is not a race but a journey tailored uniquely for each person. The moment you perceive everyone as competition, you risk losing the essence of your purpose, chasing fleeting validations of superiority instead of nurturing your true potential. You may find temporary satisfaction in saying, "I am better than him," but in doing so, you could sacrifice the deeper fulfillment that comes from personal growth. Stay focused on your lane. Life has already been designed to reward you when you grow into the version of yourself that you are meant to be. Competing with others blinds you to the wisdom that your journey is not theirs. Each person’s path is a reflection of the unique purpose and gifts they carry, and yours is no different. Competing with your teacher is particularly unwise. Teachers, in life or any field, hold the keys to wis

RESULTS ARE NOT ENOUGH

Young man, I trust you are advancing well in God’s plan for your life. Remember, many are praised for their achievements and deemed great by society, but some lose their true purpose because they chase results so fervently that they forget the right way to get there. Understand that while results can be achieved through various means, God is deeply concerned with the path you take to reach them. People will celebrate your outcomes, but God will honor you for both the journey and the result. You might see others gaining wealth and recognition by taking shortcuts, and society may even reward them. You may wonder why, despite doing everything right, you still struggle. But let me remind you, results are good and everyone desires them but make sure you attain them the right way. Consider Moses, who was instructed by God to speak to the rock for water, but instead struck it, and water still flowed. Despite the result, God was not pleased, and Moses was barred from entering the Promised Land

SELF CONTROL: A MAJOR INGREDIENT IN THE FULFILMENT OF PURPOSE

Young man, you need the fruit of the spirit to impact your world more than you do for the gifts of the spirit. The gifts are great and are important but the fruit that the spirit of God produces in you is vital to your design. God places his spirit in you once you are born again. The disconnect that took place in the garden of Eden was rectified by Jesus and in him we have life for life. It is no longer you that lives but Christ in you. Thus, you need to walk in the spirit if you have been raised by the spirit. God places his Spirit in you to produce fruit of self control. Self control is critical to whatever you will become in life. Imagine Esau who lacked self control and exchanged his birthright with portage.  He was hungry and that was normal. He was famished to the point that he thought he would die. Yet, that was not enough for him to let go of a vital component of his destiny. He could not control his appetite. His appetite was wild for food and not only food but women and lust.

IT IS NOT FUNNY AT THE QUARRY SITE

Young man, don't give up. God is working something beautiful behind the scene. Wait for it and you will rejoice. Don't cut corners. Don't run away from the process designed to make you the best version of you. If you do, you will be settling for a lesser you. God is intentional and deliberate about your progress and becoming. You will end well. You are not the only one in this condition. It is a quarry site and you must be dressed to fit the palace use. Don't jump out of the shaping and dressing machines. God is INTENTIONAL! Several young men have run out to seek the alternative routes to fullfil purpose and landed in serious accident. Apparently, there is no way to fulfil purpose away from the owner of it. God designed you and he is making your circumstances to shape you. He is making your path a machine of dressing. It is not easy. I know. It is draining. Yes, I am sure it is. It takes tears and all from your eyes and your heart aches about all the realities around yo

THE OTHER SIDE OF BEAUTY

  Young man, let me tell you that it is absolutely breathtaking to be beautiful. It is the desire of everyone to be tagged beautiful. You need to understand that everyone will celebrate with you when you are beautiful. You will become the centre of attraction to all. Ovations and all will pour in. You will have friends here and there. But be mindful of the other side of your beauty. Well, the beauty I am talking about may come from your body posture, intelligence, wealth, and skills. It could come from your outspokenness. Woah, you will hear the word beautiful if you are a high flier in some of these matters. But don't overdo it. Watch that your beauty does not become your trap. Watch it so that it does not become a center of ego. Watch it that you don't claim to be God because men value your beauty. Nebuchadnezzar was such a mighty king that wows men. Men tremble at his power and he was a dream for every young fellas, but he forgot to trim the beautiful part of his life and pu
