AVOID THE HAGARS

Young man, beware of getting help anyway and anyhow when you seem to get stuck on your journey.. It is delicate for you to do so. Of course, at one point or the other in your journey, you will need help from your horizontal relationships. Just take caution in knowing where such help will come from. Every help around you may look like what will bail you out from a draught, stagnant point or bareness. You may cross some red lines in moment when you are extremely tired. Crossing such boundaries may hinder you from becoming all that God had designed for you. It may also put a big spot on your testimonies. Beware of the Hagars  in your testimony. Sarah had a lengthy delay in her marriage. She was not fruitful for several years till she passed menopause. She was in dare need of solution to her condition. She wanted her husband to have a child they could call theirs. Neglecting the promises of God for them, she sought help from Hagar. She sought to end her woe by herself. You may be in such c

SINKING HOPE

In the depth of your heart, you wish the current situation you are in change immediately for good. You are going through so much than words can explain. Your prayers seem to have no answer. You have called on God and you are still doing so. May be you are even tired and you are so off the thing called prayer. It seems your situation was a sickly one when you started calling God to come through for you. He didn't come. You have zero your hope on him and it seems a voice taunt you on the inside for doing so. You hear stuff like you claimed to have pinned your hope on him but now your hope is a sick hope. Its dying. The situation indeed seems to be going to worse scenario. It seems the condition is becoming bad. You never cease to hope on him even though answers is not forth coming. Young man, don't be weary. All things will bring out his glory in refined form in your life. Lazarus was sick to the point of death. Jesus was called upon to come to the aid of the family. Well, that w

JONATHAN SAUL'S ERROR

Young man, be deliberate in following God's move wholly without bias. Don't be emotionally biased towards some people by following them blindly when you know that God has departed from them. It is risky for what you are becoming. You may become deformed, devalued or loose your life in doing so. It is important you know how to stand with the truth for your safety. It is not bad to consciously refuse to follow someone who has missed the road no matter their place in your life. You won't get emotionally attached to the wrong road because its your mentor leading you on  that path? Its the bush and its an highly respected pastor or uncle going there, will you follow? Doing so may hinder you from becoming anything valuable in life. You may become a wanderer of destiny. Even apostle Paul said the believers of then should follow him as he follow Christ. Once he missed the road, they cease to follow  him. You must identify how to guide such  individual to the road by humility but yo

THE GATEMAN; YOUR GATE MAN

 On the journey of life, you will come in contact with several people. Different by ethnic and culture, tribe and languages, rich, average and even the poor ones. And of course, when you meet with people who are rich either as friends or superior at work place then you become glad for having to know them. This may be because they are rich or well placed. You may even package yourselves to be able stand them at least, how to approach them, ways of having discussion with them and best way to respond to them to avoid getting them angered. You may do all these because you think they are the one holding the key to your place in the palace. I tell you that the probability of them helping you is low. So, what happened when you have the poor and lowly placed people around you? You of course have them around you. They are in your work place, church, market place and even amidst family. How do you treat or react to them? of course, so many condemn, abuse, underrate and even reject anything thing

DEAD ON ARRIVAL

Some decisions are dead on arrival before making them and you should be aware of this young man. This will aid your growth in God, in loving people and maintaining your love for humanity. Decisions to sabotage another to get his/her place should be dead on arrival. Decision to kill to make more money should be dead on arrival. Decision to sell your body for gain should be dead on arrival. Decision to steal public fund to amass wealth should be dead on arrival. Decision to sell any of your godly value for goodly assets should be dead on arrival. There are so many decisions that reduces who you should be. Make them a no go area. Learn to say NO. Learn to say no. Saying yes to all matters around you is not accurate and you could be deformed and remain shapeless for a NO you didn't say. It does not matter the capacity or the position of those who forced you or lead you on to saying yes, once its against God, you will regret it. The three friends of Daniel will never compromise their st

SHELTERED TRANSFIGURATION

Young man, there is more to you than you are. Don't rest on your pass success. Don't judge yourself by other's standards. You are ten and the other fellow is two and you feel you have done better by eighth. Well, that may be mathematically correct but it may a deep error in destiny calculus. The man with two may have used all his potent energy to get there and you have given some percent of yours. Its delicate to judge your progress by those around you. Judge it by God's metric. Judge it by God's timetable and deposits. I have seen some young people who take pride in their walk with God because they compare themselves with their neighbor who is to God, doing extremely well. He speaks in tongue you know and the other guy can't yet. He preach the gospel and participate in church whatever and the other guy is still struggling for such. So, he is better and have every right to batter others by his transfiguration testimonial. Well, the young man has built shelter on

SWEET WITH SWEAT

There is dignity in labour young man. Whatever you are becoming is heavily link to your labour. However, most youth are scared of giving their best energy in front of what matters. They don't want to sweat. No, they want it easy. They want it fast. Some have it fast by crook means and you know, stolen water is always sweet. But be certain that it will end in sourness. Thus, you must run away from such quick and easy way that cost you nothing. In reality, anything that doesn't cost you anything including your sweat will not last. They thought the cars,  girls and drugs are sweet but they have never seen sweetness in its true nature. Its only sweet by your sweat. God gave Adam work to do in order to enjoy the sweetness of the garden. He was to cultivate the ground and grow the garden. He could have been waking up to enjoy the garden but God asked him to work. He should sweat. Real sweetness comes from your sweat. Lasting sweetness comes from your little effort. I am sure you may

PREPARED FOR WHAT IS COMING

So many things may happen accidentally, becoming what God designed for you will never be accidental. You can never perform beyond your preparation. You have to be ready for what is coming to you. Be prepared for your dream job. Be prepared for your dreamed guy or lady. Be ready for your manifestation. The day an opportunity present itself for your unusual lifting and you are not ready, you may miss a lot in life through that. Use every moments of waiting to prepare yourself for what is coming for you. Get ready in the secret. Do all that is needed to be ready. Study, write and develop your vision. Get more degrees and certifications, improve your still and all. Use every opportunity to expand your capacity. Get ready for the abundant of rain. Prepare your vessels. The flow ill stop once the vessel finishes. Young man, prepare now away from the fore fronts of battle. Preparation is not for manifestation stage. David was prepared in the bush leasing sheep and saving them from attack. He

STARS DIFFER IN GLORY

There is always an array of stars around you and all over the earth. God has designed every man with his own uniqueness. He has placed huge  potential  in everyone to shine differently without hindering each other. Young man, you must know this as you progress and hold it dear in your heart. There are people designed to be better than you even in your core area of what you should be. There are people designed to be at per with you while some will follow you. You must know that and beware of unnecessary envy of those designed to be better. Everyone is designed to shine differently and at such difference in glory. Once you identify those who are designed and packaged better than you even in your area of calling, work with them well. Learn from them with all humility. It will enhance your growth and brighten your shining. It is foolishness to compete with a man who should be training you. You are a star, and the other fellow is also a star, your glory differs. May be you should have trave

WORRY OR WORSHIP?

You say the battle is the Lord's but worry like it's yours. You've wasted all of your strength worrying when you could have been worshipping. Worries and tension are like birds, you cannot stop them from flying near you, but you can certainly stop them from making a nest on your mind. Young man, it doesn't matter how ridiculous and rough your past might have been, God does not consult the past to address your future. Rise up and bounce back again. The fact remains that no amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of anxiety can change the future. Your so called enviable relationship that seems to be working and has always been a standard for others to follow got crashed and you're worried, it's just for a better tomorrow. Allow God to drive the vehicle the way he wants to, He is the best Driver  You have scanned through your journey so far and it seems as though you are at the junction of topsy-turvy right now, instead of getting yourself worried, why ca

ALIVE FROM WITHIN, DESTROYED FROM OUTSIDE

Today, I must emphasize an issue to you young man. I must make it more clear to you that you must develop your inner strength with all that you can. You must develop so much that external force will meet a stronger resisting force from within you. Yes, when an egg is broken from within, it comes alive. However, when it is broken from an external force, it is destroyed. It is broken and destroyed. The force from within you is capable of breaking you to form you. The force is capable of bringing you to become all that God has for you. However, when the external force takes you over, you may loose all that you have been made of. The force within you is grown by the person of the Holy Spirit. He has the capacity to form you to life. He has the capacity to bring you to shape. The earth was shapeless until he came into the picture. He is a force as he will push you from inside. He will make you from within. Things you naturally can't do will become doable. The focus will break your ego,

GOOD OR BAD TIMES, YOU ARE IN SAFE HANDS

Good or bad, you are in safe hands. It is extremely important for you to remember this again as you progress on your journey. While it is often easy for you to accept good times in your life, bad times are not of less importance either. However, you should know that God is there for you in both times. He is working for you at all times. There is nothing outside him. He knows all, he sees all and  he control all. However, there may be bad times and you may even be in one currently, don't fret. God is aware of all things around you and he is working in the good and bad times. It may be tough to encourage you in bad times because it will seems the world is crumbling down on you. You will see God as wicked or as a deity who doesn't care for his own. You won't be the first with that feeling. David asked for God's face in times of trouble. The disciples at the face of storm also asked why God will allow them to perish because it seems he is not forth coming. God has everythin

BUILT TO LAST

A path in your journey that cannot be escaped is the building process. It is one of the most crucial aspect of life that cannot be underestimated and must be taken serious in order to have a fulfilled life. You can be built in diverse ways; academically, financially, and morally. All these are subset of your spiritual growth where you must be built in order to last. Your growth and development spiritually supersedes all other phases of your life. If you are not building yourself to last, your life may be shapeless and you will find it very difficult to live in. The way you are built and the kind of structures you have formed over time depict the reality of what your life will become. The structure of your life depend on who you have chosen to be the architect of your life. Most people ought to have been in a particular stage of their life fulfilling purpose but couldn't as a result of a wrong architect they have invited into their building process. Most people thought they could bu

LOOK DOWN UPON?

Young man, it is not your responsibility to make everyone see your value. No, those who have eyes will see the design of God in you. Those who don't will look down on you. In fact, they may demean you. You may seem worthless to them. But does that define you? Does that make you worthless? No, in fact, it should affirm your value. Those who look down on you will regret it when you stay steady on your growth in your making process. They look down on you cos you have no money yet, or you have no job or you have position yet. They are rich and wealthy. They are influential and you are a nobody to them! They have concluded that no good thing can come out of your life. Well, they will be surprised and taken aback soon cos you will become all that God has designed for you. Your glory will shine and all will see it. Don't judge yourself a failure because of them. Don't consider yourself a nobody because of their running mouth and  dreadful actions. Some of those who look down on yo

BROKEN BUT REPAIRABLE

Young man, there is a recent trend among the youths of our society. It has taken its root even  amidst believers.Thus, several young people have given up on relationships. The trend is called breakup. Indeed, it could be devastating. It may derail some people of becoming something vital in their life if they don't man up almost immediately. Breakup had caused young people to take their own life. Some entered into serious depression while some never believe in any meaningful or purposeful relationship again. Cheer up young man! Don't let the breakup make you broken. I know you gave your best! I know you prayed and God gave a go ahead for that sister/brother! I know you had plans together! I know it was a long time relationship which you invested a lot! I want you to be encouraged. YES, GOD is not a man that he will lie: that sister/brother might have been his will for you. But I want you to know that the moment one of you got derailed in the relationship, God in his infinite m

WIDOW'S MITE

Young man, its of importance that you know that becoming all that God has for you will necessitate you giving  your widow's mite. You must learn to empty all of you into whatever your hands find to do and its the right thing to do.  If you are not committed to doing all you have to do on your making process, you may end up becoming a lesser you.  There were other apostles that had similar encounter that Paul had. Some even had better. They had contact with Jesus and were with him through out his ministerial journey. Yet, none of them had the verifiable impact of Apostle Paul. His impact is heavier than all of them. This is also traceable to the pattern of his life. He gave all. He said he counted all but lost for the sake of Christ and his assignment. He gave his widow's mite. Well, contrary to your understanding of the widow's mite as something little, It actually depict giving ALL. I mean 100%. Young man, you cannot become anything tangible in your chosen field if you wou

STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF

Young man, please don't live in deceit. There is no way you will make any headway in life without the truth. I have seen countless young people with huge potential failed to rise to be any of it. Their potent strength was wasted because they were deceiving themselves. The path a man may not recover from is the path he follows by deceit to himself. If someone else happened to play a fast one on you, you can definitely get out with contact with the truth. But once you lead yourself by deceit, be ready to be loss infinitely. God will do all for me  ! A great deceit you can ever believe. But does that mean God can't do all for his children? No, he can do all but he has placed in your care some certain degree of responsibilities that won't change. God created all things including beasts. He gave the responsibility to Adam to name them. God will give you inspiration, he wont come down to write it down! God will give you gift, he won't come down to use it to open doors for you

MORE THAN CONQUEROR

 *More than Conqueror*  Young man, the battle you are in has been concluded since. Yes, it has been won. Then why am I in it? This may be your next question having that understanding. Well, as you come into the new live in Christ, your battle has been won. You stepped into his victory. You stepped into his ALL. All that Jesus became for your becoming may be replayed. But it is finished already. Young man, your heart must settle this in totally. You must picture and walk in this reality.The debt has been paid.The sickness is already paid for. The victory is CERTAIN. You must walk with that confidence that all the battles you are in now are toothless. They cannot bite you. Yes, they can roar but its nothing. There is a lion in you with the ultimate power. He has conquered all and has declared you as more than conqueror. The storm may be so vehement against you, it won't sink you. The wind and the sea obeys his commands. Learn to speak your victory that had been obtained into existenc

GRASS TO GRACE

There is nothing too difficult for God to do young man. You must come to understand this and accept it totally in your heart. Your calculations are not his. Your strategies are not his and so his plans are far beyond yours. It does not matter where you have started and what you have gone through, God is capable of raising you from nothing to something. He can lift you from zero to celebration point. You must come to settle this early in your heart. There must not be an iota of doubt in your heart that God can raise a nobody to become somebody.  You may not know anyone who can lift you like the man beside the pool at Bethsaida, but you have God who is the lifter of man. He can raise a man from the dust and set him with the kings and make him king. God can raise a man from grass to grace. Majority of men in the scriptures that touched their generation with a lasting impact were men with no enviable  backgrounds. Except you set this right in your heart and make it your daily tonic, you ma

AND THE MANNA CEASED

Young man, you may have come this far into a thick dry season. And to you, you wonder that things were not this tough even when you knew you were in the wilderness. You still had some opportunities. Something were still made available. But now, the matter has changed. I want you to know that you have stepped into the boundaries of your land flowing with milk and honey. No longer will you eat manna. That which you don't know of. No longer will there be "free food". The time has now come for you to put in your little input. There is much more than the manna on the land. There is much more that you need to get. You need to know that God may deliberately cut off your cheap help and supply just to make you eat the reality of your making process. God will block out those friends that give little help just to make you enter into your land flowing with milk and honey. Its deliberate of God. So, don't take it hard on your friends. Don't take it hard on your uncles and ment

COUNT THE COST

If you won't do it well, don't start it. If you won't give your best shot, its not worth it. If you will quit due to one challenge or the other, then don't engage in it from the beginning. A wise man will count the cost of doing a thing before setting out at it. Young man, it is extremely important you know how to give your best in all you do. It is extremely important you set your priorities right. Whatever your hands finds to do, do it with all your might and do it well. Give all the energy in you to pursue it. You must come to know that your life is a book and many are reading it. Why will you go for lesser grade when there are higher grades? Why will you spend less hours studying and doing that which improves you? Why will you just want an average life? Of course, fingers are not equal and nobody will ask you to cut off some to make them equal. However, you must realize that you need to give your best to be a finger at all. Set the pace right for yourself and do thi

YOU CAN'T MISS THE ROAD

Young man, its quite some times. Well, I have so much desire to write you daily but can only give you pertinent instructions and encouragement that I receive from God. This also must have found expression in my own journey. I want you to know that you cannot miss the road if God is leading and you are following him in detail. Several young people fail to yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit and so hinder their growth in him and also limit their performance here on earth. *God has never been wrong and he won't start with you.* The steps of the righteous man are ordered by God. The leading of God does not make sense most of the time to your common sense. Your physical senses will evaluate it again and again and it may not match anything called sensible to your brain. Well, the wisdom of God surpasses what any man can fathom. So you may summarily dismiss his counsels. Its is dangerous to do so. Once God has spoken about a thing, seek no other verdict. You may end up on the wrong ro

SOAKED IN TEARS

Weep no more young man. Weep no more. The author of life and the one who is in charge is saying that directly to you. Weep no more. The challenges will soon be over. The stagnancy will be done away with. All things are working together for your good. Your manifestation time has come. Yes, it has come. Wipe your tears. The only thing permitted now is tear of joy. Your tears are no longer needed. There were time when you weep to release pain. Weep to let go of burdens. Weep to stay even healthy. There were times that you have shed tears on the altar of God genuinely. You have cried to God like the Psalmist. You have cried and cried for help and then it seemed far. It seemed unreachable. Your fear of failure grew. Your fear of becoming useless grew. Your fear of not making any meaningful impact in life grew. Well, while those moments may be unavoidable, they may be shortened. They may be erased. You need to know that God want you to stop weeping. Weep no more. Once, you hear this voice, y

TRADE BY BATTER, VITAL FOR TRIVIAL.

I saw an occurrence that saddens the heart of a man recently and I desire to warn you of it young man. Young man, you must be careful of chasing shadows while leaving the reality unattended to. You must beware that "the NOW" pleasure has not become too important that you neglect tomorrow and hereafter. How can you chase money and forget humanity? How can you chase money and let go of dignity and honor of labor? How can you chase fame and forget God? You can lie and deceive people just to amass money. Well, after getting the money, what next? Tragic, how young lady will sleep with anybody to get money. How will you let go of descent work for prostitution and claim it pays? You are of course letting go of vitals of your life for trivial things. The now enjoyment and accolade has made some young people sacrifice their huge dream and purpose. They let go, to lay hold on fame and all. They love to hear; " rich dude" e-money, money bag and all accolades while they forgot

SAY POSITIVE, STAY POSITIVE

Your word is your world. Your words has the same formative power the word of God has. Your word has the capacity to shape you continuously in God's agenda or deform you in same. Young man, be careful that you don't become used to negative words that can hinder you from becoming all that God has for you. I have seen countless young people that have caused loopholes in their life by their words. There is power of life and death in your tongue young man. Power that is capable of putting ropes on your legs to tie you to a stagnant point. I cannot make it. Things are too hard for me. People are against me. The enemy around me are too much.  No one can help me. My relationship is not working. These are few of so many negative words young people declares on their life daily because of one challenge or the other. Death is in your tongue. You can activate it and cause zero movement and growth in your life. When you speak death, you will see death in all phases of your life. I am sure yo

CARE LESS IN HIS CARE

How do I encourage you young man? How do I pour out my heart to you about the issue that has caused you to be tired and weary? How do you get strength to march on? You have concluded that only you faces tough time. You are so anxious and worried that your world won't have shape soonest. There is no glimpse of hope any where! Now, you have so much care. Now, you have so much anxiety. Yes, your thoughts have no directions. Your thoughts are heavy to share. You have so much concern. People are already mocking you cos you are of age and no marriage? Family meetings are the least of your worries as they have wiped out your name on any financial needs? In fact, friends and colleagues seems to have deserted you cos any call you make to them is about how you can get help. You have issues best explained by you that have deterred solutions. You are so worried cos there is meaningful job. The little work does not even give enough to you and your family. May be your case is not on the list. Yo

TOILED BUT SPOILED

Young man, this may be extremely important to encourage you today. You may have laboured so much with no meaningful harvest. You may have toiled so hard yet with little to show forth. Or how do you explain all the effort to upgrade your degrees and your skills and yet little results or sometimes no result? How do you place it under any sensible categorization of all your efforts in getting ahead and yet no tangible output? Oh, you even gather little only to be lost again. May be all these has caused you to develop BP as a young fellow? May be you have less hope that anything will come again. All your effort look spoiled with nothing to show for it. Well, you may have been packing your net. You may have been throwing in the towel. You may have been giving up all hope and ready to live anyhow. You may want to retire all the little efforts and suspend anything rational to earn a meaningful living. Don't give in to the trick of the devil. Don't give in to the weakness of the flesh.

ALTARS THAT ALTER PURPOSE

Young man, there are altars that can alter your purpose. An altar is a structure for the presentation of religious offerings, sacrifices, or for other ritualistic purposes. Altar is known mainly for its usefulness in sacrifice. There are altars of positive sacrifice while some are detrimental to what you are becoming. Young man, you must learn to present yourself as a living sacrifice on the altar of God. Conversely, you may place yourself on the wrong altar that will alter what you were designed to be. A key issue in this dose is to sacrifice the fleshy desire on a daily basis so as to avoid a deep void and shapelessness in your purpose. The altar of prayer, the altar of worship and the altar of obedience are viable altars to form you into shape. The altar of lust for money, power and positions are dangerous for who you are becoming. The altar of disobedience , drunkenness, lie, adultery, fornication and all manifestations of flesh are dangerous to your formation. The altar of flesh i

VOICE OF JACOB, HAND OF ESAU

In your attempt to get rich and accumulate what people have termed as "blessings", be careful  you don't join the right voice to the wrong hand. Young man, I said what people have termed blessings because blessing transcend money and material gain or its accumulation. It transcends riches in its true meaning. If not, Jacob would not have asked for God to bless him again after getting all the money, goods, slaves and possessions. He knew blessing was bigger and so he wrestled to get it. Young man, don't allow anyone and I say anyone to pressurize you to steal or take what does not belong to you or what you have not genuinely labored for. Don't join the  "today's youth" that are willing to cheat, lie and do all abominable things just to use the latest car or built the latest house in town. You must be aware that you are not in competition with any of them and so they do not determine your pace in this race. These set of young fellas can dupe people, th
