PRAISING GOD AMID THE STORM

 One of the most difficult things to do is to sing praise and exalt God amid your turbulent situations. You may be tempted to doubt that God cares. The challenges may be like a huge mountain falling on you and then someone says praise is a weapon for winning. It is irrational to Job's wife, how her husband kept God's name in high esteem even with all the calamities that befell them. How will you claim God is GOOD, all the time and all the time, God is good? Young man, once the devil succeeds in defaming the PERSON of God in your heart using your troubled seasons, then you will begin to doubt God. Once doubt comes in, you become very unstable. Don't allow anyone, any demon, any devil to deceive you. *God is extremely and intricately GOOD*. I just told you that you need to praise Him in the storm and one wonders what that will do. Well, maybe I should establish one key issue with you young man? God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It means NO amount of Praise you gi

STRENGTHENING MECHANISM

How do you survive the huddles? How do you navigate in the midst of storm without falling into the deep sea? How do you pass through turbulent times without crumbling? How will the storms not allow you throw away all the GOODNESS in you. Remember the companion of Jonah? The storm emptied them. The storm caused them to think irrationally. They threw all the "goods" on board away thinking the ship will be stabilized. No, it did not. It got worse. Excuse me young man, it is possible you throw away all the goodness in you to a storming situation. You may find yourself worthless at the face of trials and troubles. It is highly calculative that you may FAIL in the midst of your troubling situations. Then, how do you navigate this storm? How do you pass through this debt? How do you rejoice in the midst of this joblessness? How can you stand tall with this financial woes? How will you hold on to the salvation promised? How will you not break before you lay hands on the fulfilment of

CHEER UP

There are storms, battles,  tribulations, and tough phases that you will have to go through young man. There are moments of rejection, there are moments of trials and tears. You need to know that your place in God has activated a special focus on you from the devil and his cohorts. Jesus did establish that you are in this world like lamb among wolves. So he wants you to learn the total TRUTH. You must know that your victory is already accomplished. You must then learn to Cheer up. Cheering up is an instruction Jesus gave to you. Cheer up, for I have overcome the world. I give you unusual peace not as the world giveth. This is similar to Paul's statement which says rejoice always and it was on a repeat that you should rejoice and ALWAYS. This is not a synthetic cheering-up dude.  No, it's an overflowing of the personality in you (The Holy Spirit). You cannot manufacture it by yourself. You must be continuously and consistently  in tune with HIM. To stay in that position of rejo

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE

You must know how to discern occurrences in your making process. You must be consistent in your daily communion with the Holy Spirit. Then, your alertness will be total. some occurrences may look alike. Some may be extremely similar but the orchestrators are not the same. The moment of delay in your life may be a result of demonic strong opposition against you and not by divine providence. You may be barren because the devil is waging a serious war on you. Things may be awkward in getting ahead from a  spot because a Pharaoh is saying you can't go to your promised land. Marital delay may not be because you are under character formation and all. you may have been ready, and yet there is an opposition. Please identify when God is intentionally taking you through a program as against when the devil is active on your case. I hope you know young man, that your adversary is roaring around like lia on seeking for who he may devour. Know when the enemy has locked the gate saying there is n

DISTRACTIONS

Young man, you have a great responsibility ahead. So you have a great preparation to do. Proper preparations precede glorious manifestations. Your time should be planned. Your activities should be well arranged. Your priorities must be in order. You should know how to balance all you do while taking great and deliberate caution against distractions. Distractions are disastrous ACTIONS. What is distracting you? What actions are you taking that are not necessary for your growth and you have to vehemently stop them? Once your path is known in your making process, beware of taking actions that are dangerous to your progress. Bad friends may be a distraction. Too much sleep may be a distraction. Movies may be. Games may be. "Unnecessary rest" could also be. Your last success may transform into one hell of a distraction. Anything that generates a dangerous and disastrous action from you should be done away with. Distractions will drag you away from your purpose or delay your manife

PSEUDOCANAAN

The moment you are in dare need of relief and advancement from drought or dry season in your life, several temporary options that satisfy that need will come magnified. These options are mostly Pseudocanaan. The distance you have covered hitherto may be very close to your promised land. However, you may be tempted to forget the remaining little steps or distance to enter your real promised land because you could see a look-alike of your promised land. Taking some additional steps or covering a little distance more may get you into your authentic Canaan. Count all that you have done to get you to your present status. Additional meaningful steps may set you up amid your Canaan. Beware that you do not settle for what settles you temporarily. If you need additional degrees, please go ahead and add them, if you need more time cut off from your fun time, please cut it. You may need to wait a little more, please wait. You may be looking for the right dude/lady but he/she is not forthcoming, p

LONE RANGERS

While it is important not to bring negative energies to your camp, you must understand that God has not created a man who can survive alone. We are wired to function effectively in productive relationships. You must learn in your making process to value every meaningful and functional relationship on your path. Build healthy relationships with those valuable individuals you have on your path in progress. Don't be a lone ranger. I have had contact with individuals that possess the traits of a lone ranger. Such individual thinks about themselves alone, they use others and take the glory. They have nothing but can harvest everything from multiple sources and claim the glory. They have an inferiority or superiority complex. Don't be a lone ranger. Whatever you are becoming is traceable to your circle now. Your circle of influence tomorrow is simply the meaningful and fruitful relationships you have now. Win and allow others to win in your circle. Be celebrated and allow others to e

FRIENDS

The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

CONTACT WITHOUT CONTAMINATION

One very hard aspect of your making process is to be able to live in a generation filled with corruption and yet unstained with it. While the world celebrates mediocrity and robbers, you may be tempted to be dragged into the net and feel like the "non-achiever". It is easy to get along with corruption but difficult to stand against it. It takes a rigorous effort from you to do so. A perception began from our fathers and has become more rampant now. Value and honor are not celebrated again. Integrity is counted as foolishness. A hardworking attitude is seen as slavery. Few men honor men of wisdom. The majority celebrates sudden wealth and breakthrough that has no foundation. How can you, young man understand the summary of life? How will you know what is valuable and of eternal perception? How will your journey in this train containing all these irregulars remain intact? You must know that God wants you to have contact with this world for a positive impact without getting cont

THE USERS AND THE ABUSERS

If there is a bottomless pit, there is a roofless height. Some stuff you get to go through in life is God's module in making you become his own best version of you: a man or woman with no limit. Yes, with no limit. You are in God's program. Some deep pit that you may have been buried in may seem so deep that you sink into it more by the day based on your calculation. But in God's agenda, if the pit is so deep, the height of glory is roofless. There is no plateau in and with God. Once, you have been correctly planted and you germinate well, expect God to move you up the ladder higher and higher. Once you don't deviate from the right principle in God, you can be certain that there is a roofless height of manifestation. For young people, make sure you are planted well. Don't worry if those who "use" you. Learn well, don't give up, and ultimately stay in God. Be aware of the "abusers" too. Runaway from this set of people. They won't allow you

NOT ALL OPEN DOORS ARE YOURS TO TAKE

The waiting period is always tedious and could bring in the temptation of taking any opportunity of getting out of it.  You must know that during your making period while you get to the waiting period, every opportunity will present itself as the best for your life. Do you know why? They will tend to satisfy the thirst of the moment. Please be careful to check under God again. Every male will look like a husband material for a lady waiting for the right man. Every lady will look like the favor you prayed for. Every job will look like the answer to your joblessness. Every means of making money may seem right to someone with financial issues. Man, you must be intentional in testing all opportunities. Don't be moved by emotion. Grow your emotional intelligence and submit it to the Sweet Holy Spirit of God. Some doors will open and it's not yours to take. Do you know why? God has a bigger picture than you ever think or see yet. His thoughts for you are beautiful with great ends. Th

EXCUSES

Excuse me, man, excuses are never going to be genuine says, my philosophical friend. There is no amount of excuse that you give in not doing a thing that will be enough a substitute to doing that thing. You need to know that you have huge excuses on your path in your making process. Excuse your body will give, your desire will give, your lack of one thing or the other will give, so as not to achieve a task. Beware. Excuses will limit the height you should travel in life. Excuses present themselves as your disadvantages, your limitations, your huge boundary, or a mountain to climb. If you don't wake up and deal with every tenable and untenable excuse, you won't go far. The spy sent by Moses came back with devastating excuses that were enough to cause the people not to go on and possess their promised land. Only two stood out with different testaments. The land is filled with milk and honey but there is an obstacle that can get you stuck on the road without entering the land. The

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

ONE HUMAN, ONE GOD: DIFFERENT PROCESSES

Learn to stay in your lane and not compete with any man. Don't jump your processes because someone is done with a phase of his. He is using a car now! Why not me? He is married and I am still single! He is now rich and I barely manage as a secondary school teacher. Your path in life isn't the same. So, your process of making differs. While some are concluding a phase of theirs, you are starting another phase of yours. Young people have fallen in error and committed taboos because they compete with their colleagues or look at other's life and conclude why not them. The design of God is so unique that all of us are wired differently. One human, One God but different purposes for all his creations. Thus, different processes of making. It's dangerous how an Elephant will compare itself with a chicken. How can a palm tree want to grow like maize? How? How will you, designed to stand out want to experience what others experienced? You need to know that what God is doing in an

DISCOURAGEMENT

This is primarily a strong weapon that can limit your advancement in your process of making. There are a huge amount of factors that can set barriers to your growth. You may have a big dream and desire, seeing that it lingers from coming to reality is enough to cause you to drawback. You have a certificate, applied to several places and no positive response, you may be discouraged, you have waited so long for the fruit of the womb and it seems it's not forthcoming, you may lose your firmness of God's promises. Well, discouragement is always an externally influenced pattern of thoughts in your hear t. The environment may discourage you, family members may do it, church members may allow you to lose your courage, lack of job and circumstances around you may do. You must come to the point of raising your hope so high on the one who has called and known you. The one who is taking you through the process to make you stand out in your generation. To be discouraged is to lose CONFIDEN

FAILURE

 One word we hate like anything. One word we despise to the core as humans. Yea, nobody celebrates failure. Nobody! Everyone celebrates achievers and all. However, I need to let you know that in your making process, you may have to fail countless times as you progress in life. No, did I hear you say, I reject it? Well, if you want to do anything unusual, there are paths that you need to tread. Paths people are scared of treading. Paths loaded with slippery conditions and all. Yet, you desire to go through and excel. You desire to set new records. Man, you may have to fall several times to get your feet strengthened. You may have to make mistakes that lead to failure on such paths. Don't fret. You are in your making process. If you failed a course, pick up and do it again. But now, do it well. If you failed in starting your business don't give up. Go again. You have set a time-bounded goal and failed, that's not the end of life. You are not a failure until you take the posit

REJECTION

 Rejections come with hurt, pain, and sometimes tears. But wait for a second, do you know that even Jesus was rejected in the course of his earthly ministry? The stone the builder rejected has become the chief cornerstone. He was rejected by his brethren and countrymen. How and why will you think that you will escape rejection? Well, maybe because I am in academia and I am used to rejection letters. Brilliant ideas have been rejected one way or the other. Landmark breakthroughs have been rejected one way or the other. I have become used to rejection because everyone will never accept you or your ideas. You need to understand this and not seek acceptance all the time. However, we must learn why rejection has come! Rejections can help you to package yourself and your ideas better. You may be rejected because the idea is not well presented, you may be rejected because your idea is even better and the others are threatened. You may be rejected because you are not ready yet. Don't be to

BAITS

 While going thoroughly through your process and all have been tried to frustrate it, beware of the baits that can drag you out prematurely into what seems like what you have been looking for. Joseph went through his process in sequence. Firstly, God removed the multicolored pampering from his father. Secondly, he was thrown into a pit of jealousy and hatred from his very own brothers. Your dream will always attract enemies  Thirdly, he was sold as a slave to learn service and obedience. During this scheme, there was a BAIT to take him out of the process: satisfying the sexual cravings of his master's wife which could have earned him more accolades from his master, a better salary, good food, and awards upon awards as CHIEF SLAVE. He was careful not to go with the bait. He stood strong in the process. Then he was thrown into prison to learn leadership responsibilities and grow his grace and gifts. You may be stagnant by DIVINE PURPOSE. It may be intentional by God. Don't allow

ROOT DOWNWARD, FRUIT UPWARD

Fruits are always visible, roots are mostly hidden. Fruits are celebrated, and roots do not have any accolades. Fruits make a tree valuable, roots GIVE it life. While everyone celebrates your fruition which is what the process is aiming at, you need to know that fruit without root is vague. Even with the latest engineering in hydroponic agriculture, roots are still vital for fruitions. The majority of people will celebrate your fruitfulness. Yes, it is normal. But you must know that people will be people. They will only celebrate achievements, records, successes, and expansions. Nobody celebrates failure, nobody celebrates mediocrities. If your roots are not taken downward, bearing fruit upward will be extremely impossible. In your making process, God desires you to grow roots first. What brought the fruits people are celebrating are the nutrients the roots absorb. The root is the source of life for any tree. Your secret hours of daily sacrifice of learning, the huge days of obscurity

FAVOR

  Away from the usual definition of favor, I found this. Favor is God scattering the plan of a man to establish his plan for such a man. While you pray for favor, do you want God to favor you? Young man, do you know what you are asking for? Are you ready to have your plans scattered for his ultimate plans? Esther was known to have enjoyed the favor of God, but do you know what it meant for her? She never did anything on her own as other girls did at the palace. She obeyed the man placed to tutor them in the palace to the last letter. Everything the man wanted may not be Esther's choice but those were the King's choices. The minister knew the choice of the king. Esther did only what the instructor wanted. She was then favored. Her plans were scattered but God's plan was established for her. Mary wished for a beautiful wedding ceremony, but a greeting came in that she was HIGHLY FAVORED. Yes. She was and still is. God scatted the marriage plan and led her to open ridicule as

PRUNING

Excesses can make a man restless in life. There are some appetites and wishes that can become so dangerous for a man of purpose. There are some perceptions that can be delicate for a man destined to fly high in life. God uses pruning process to create a better you. Delay time to fruition can be useful in getting the best out of you. A man who desire the God's kind of life is opened and ready for pruning, shaping and cutting. To prune is to control and cut away. Thus, God will want your appetite controlled before handing power and money over to you. Your anger may be an issue that send wonderful souls that could be your life partner from you. He makes sure these matters are dealt with while you wait. These matters if not handled now may be come matter arising tomorrow about you . Your laziness could cost you much in life. So, he prune you by placing you under a tough boss and environment. God can use hunger to shape and prune you. The best of you comes out looking for survival. An u
