WORRY DON'T ADD ANYTHING TO YOU

The doctor came forward in his brilliant white lab coat to ask for Mr Aderanti's family, "doctors care but God heals, we tried our very best but I'm sorry to inform you that we lost Mr Aderanti", he finally managed to say. Mr Aderanti had developed high blood pressure about six months ago and was warned to desist from worry but he didn't. Worrying is something that happens naturally to a lot of people. They just can't help but worry about absolutely anything and everything. People worry about things they can work on and things they can never do anything about like their nationality, their family or tribe, complexion, height etc. Worrying has been discovered to cause numerous health issues physically, emotionally and mentally. Interestingly, some people don't even know the difference between thinking and worrying. While thinking is a productive process of ruminating on a particular issue analytically to attain a positive result, worrying is unnecessarily bu

YOU NEED HELP? ASK

Young man, one dangerous path you must not follow is path of ingenuity. You must be genuine in all you do to become all of God's design for you. Meanwhile, several young people are not genuine at all. They prefer to live a fake life. Its not meant to be. You will be shortchanging yourself a lot in life in doing so.You need help? Ask for it. God has place several helpers around for you to fulfil his mandate for you. You must be deliberate in asking the right people for help. Don't ever form or pose for your helper, Its dangerous. Ask for help, it is your part of your design. Be very intentional in asking for help when you need it. Sorry, I don't need anyone and I can make it by myself and all, are the undoings of a failed man. The reality is that God has packaged some of your supplies in your helper. Meanwhile, God is the bigger helper. You must learn to ask. Ask, it shall be given. Knock, the door shall be opened and seek, you shall find. The parameter to getting help is as

THE 2-D TO 3-D PATHS OF SUCCESS

Young man, the success road contains two paths namely the 2-D and the 3-D path. The 2-D which is dream and desire, are the architectural building monomers of the word "success". If you don't have a dream then automatically you can not have a desire. Dream spurs desire! Without dream, there is no basis for desire. The bedrock for desire is to have a dream. If you do not have an ambition to become a nurse, your desire to look like one you see in the hospital is zero. Your desire to wear their uniform(scrubs) is baseless or probably will be in acting a movie. Can I tell you something? Young man, your dream must align with God's purpose for your life if you will not be desiring success in what is not the will of God for your life. The second D in 2-D path is Desire. This is wishing to be successful in your aspiration. I must tell you this young man, wishing to be like a successful professor or one of the richest men around the world is good. However, mere description can

MANGER NOT MEAGER

Young man, it is vital I tell you this reality that must dwell in your heart richly. Your background must not determine what you will become. You may start small, your later end must be greater. Don't ever use how you were born, who born you and where you were born as an excuse for living a life of mediocrity. No, way. God is deliberate about your life and he can never make mistake about your background. You need to know that you may have a humble beginning, God has planned for that. You may be born in a manger but you must not live meager life. You may be born in a family with no or little nobility and affluence, you may be born and struggle with that mentality of middle or poverty class, there is no issue in that if you don't allow it to overshadow your heart. Once your heart is not fixed to the status of your birth and you give in all your best not to stay in that status, you will definite enter into his full design. Who born you, how you were born and where you were born ar

MISCARRIAGE OF GLORY

Miscarriage is not something palatable. Be careful young man that you don't abort or cause yourself to have a miscarriage of your glory.  God has designed you perfectly and you are meant to be like Christ in total. However, all have fallen short of his glory while some are finding their path back to God for restoration. Your design is so glorious and enviable. You have a great future in God and it his desire to see you birth it to life. You must not miscarry it. You must not allow miscarriage of this glory by following wrong path and taken wrong decisions. Cain had miscarriage of glory because of envy and jealousy. Dinah lost her glory to miscarriage due to interest in the pattern of the strange land. Saul had miscarriage of glory due to disobedience to God's word and instructions. Jonathan Saul had miscarriage of his glory due to an unchecked loyalty to a wrong course. He should have departed his father's path cos it was lazed with doom. Yet, he continued. Gehazi had misca

THE FULLNESS OF JOY

I am glad to tell you one big verdict again today. Well, it is not just a verdict young man but a living verdict. The verdict is mobile and active. It is extremely important that you also get this deep into your heart while going through your process of making which may be filled with several ups and downs. You see, while it is certain that you will face tribulations and trials, it is more certain that you have a buffer. A living buffer and  unfailing one. The buffet is the verdict. It is that you have the FULLNESS OF JOY as you progress. The fullness of Joy and not just joy. In fact, God has placed it there permanently. He has made it an eternal emblem. However, it is tied to his presence. In the presence of God, there is fullness of Joy and at his right hand, there is everlasting pleasure. You see, once you know how to stay in God's presence, you are sure that you have eternal joy and it is full. The presence of God is everywhere but his presence is concentrated where the Holy Sp

CHANT IT

There is power in your words young man. I must pass this across to you today as it is extremely vital for your becoming. You must get this again and again. I had early written to you on saying positive, staying positive. I therefore want to increase the tempo of the writing here. You must learn to chant God's word as a weapon of victory for you. You must chant it everywhere. Repetitive pattern with outright weight of its impact on you is very important to shape your thought and thus, your becoming. Though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I fear no evil. Though my eyes have seen the miscarriages of glory around me as a result of the wind of evil, my life is persevered. I shall not die but live to declare the glory of God in the land of the living. I am the head and not the tail. The lord works in me to do and to act according to his good pleasure. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. I dwell in God's house forever. You see, chantin

WRONG APPRAISAL

While it is important to note the way you live today so your tomorrow will not be in shamble, it is extremely important you don't appraise your tomorrow by the challenges and limitations of today. It is important for you not to judge what God has planned for you by your current conditions. Yes, the current conditions may be tough and really bad. Yes, it may make people conclude nothing can come out of your life. It is their own appraisal. It is normal for men with no insight into the plans and ways of God. It is normal for men with limited information about the present and who has none about your tomorrow. You may not know what tomorrow holds, you surely know who holds tomorrow. You surely know who controls tomorrow. The most difficult appraisal that can be given will come from you. If you appraise yourself by your current outlook, you may be giving yourself a wrong appraisal. Your present must not be used to appraised your tomorrow. God has better even if your day is good, it can

DEPRESSED? DON'T BE

Do you know it is possible to land yourself in this arena. It is possible to enter into a space where negative energy dominates you and you feel nothing can come out of life again. You may enter a space where you have given up on life and anything good in it. You may be in such condition where no words of encouragement makes sense any more. Young man, you may be locking yourself away from people and dragging yourself to further loneliness. If all that you want is to be far from people, locked in door and roll on bed with tears, please watch it. You are growing in depression already and its a dangerous path. Why will all those occurrences lead you to deep darkness? Don't you remember there is a God bigger than your current status? I saw someone yesterday who went through hell and yet stood strong. He got into deep depression and was about to take his life. The thought of his ineptness as a result of his circumstances dominated him. He wanted to give up. He struggled to get a degree

TRACE, FACE,ERASE AND REPLACE IT

Is there any challenge holding you down? Are there issues in your life that seems unresolved? What are the difficulties you are facing cos of one  issue or the other? Young man, there are times you are lost in your thought of what has become a major set back in your life. You have given your best as per your measurement and nothing seems to move forward. Well, it is not uncommon. Young people faces this phase a lot. You just learn to trace what has caused your challenge. You must by God's Spirit trace the root. If you don't know the source of your problem, how can you face it? If you are fighting the battle with try and error approach, how can you face it? You must learn to trace the root. When you get the root, you can face it squarely. Most youth do not know the source of their problem. They only know the fruit it brings out. The root of your problem must be traced. Only then can you face it. When you know the root, your actions to uproot becomes clear. What to do to get ahea

THE TWO MASTERS

Young man, I need to warn you that there are two major masters that may show up on your path. One must be your master indeed and the other you must be master over. However, there are tendencies that there will be competition on your path between them. Well, God is one master and mammon is another. God is supposed to be the master over you. Master over your plans and master over your endeavors. But mammon can compete for that space. It can manifest as a great master if you permit it. Mammon sometimes referred to as money can really master your movement, your plans and all you want to be. You may be shaped by that thought of possessing more of it and forget God, your creator. You need to know that God has a great plan for you and he knows every detail movement that will birth it. God knows every moves you need to make to bring about your becoming. Mammon can really scheme your path. Mammon can dictate your friends and it is always delicate. Mammon can design your process in a new way if

EVERY RESULTS CAN'T BE POSITIVE

Young man, you must know that every results on your pursuit can't be positive. Every proposal  can't be accepted. In your process of making, you will face negative results. You will have proposals turned down. You will have time of failure and in fact, they may be more than your wins and successes in number. However, the number of failures and all does not define you. The number of negatives does not relate who you will be. They are only signals that you are doing something and sooner, you will hit the success point. If you are successful in doing nothing, what have you achieved? If you fail in doing something, then you are giving in some energy to move your course forward. So, don't be discouraged when you have rejections, I have several and even yesterday, I got heavy rejection of a postdoctoral position after scaling the first heavy round. In the same day, I had a paper rejected. These are not positive results. These are not what I wanted. But that is life. You loose som

WINGS OF THE STORM

It is essential you know that storm will come at anytime. In fact, you may be in one now and it seems you will sink because of it. Your storm can't finish you. It is true that it may exhaust and cause you to even weep sometimes. However, God will never allow you to sink or be carried away on the wings of storm. No, you won't be. The wings of storm could carry a man to sorrow and deep sadness. The wings of storm can carry you into an avenue where doubt dominates.  You may end where you see God as wicked when you are on the wings of storms. However, if your trust is in God. God will make the wings of the storm as a flight to soar to a new dimension of glory. It was storming for Daniel in the lion's den. He was thrown into a place of no return. He was placed in one of the deepest  storm a man could experience. The lion were to devour him with no trace left. Yet, he came out alive because God was with and he flew to a new dimension of glory on the wings of that storm. Got raise

THE BARRENNESS OF COMPETITION

Glory to God who has made us so unique and extremely different from each other. You have to learn this young man and not kill yourself comparing yourself with others which will land you in unnecessary competition with them. Life is about individual timing when it comes to achieving your goals and dream except its a joint vision or team dream. God has designed you to function well on your own. Anything of variance is an aberration from the reality of what you were designed to be.  Competing with others means you are ignorant of your uniqueness and it is equivalent to barrenness. Don't depart from your lane. Don't forget your uniqueness. Don't let go of who you are because somebody is becoming what they were meant to be. Your own time to shine will come and nothing will stop you from shining. Its extremely important you align your heart in this path and don't become competitive for nothing. Excuse me young man, what do you want to show me about yourself that will make me

IT WILL COME TO PASS

Young man, I need to let you know again that every of God's word will come to pass. There are several thing written about you as his child. You must know them and the more you know and walk in, the more you enjoy rest because of what has been written. God is not a man that he should lie. He is not son of man that he will repent of his words. Everything he says about you will come to pass. Yes. All will eventually become real. That is the truth. Any other voice saying something else is a counterfeit. God said you will be the head. Believe it, you are. God said he will be with you all the days of your life, believe it, he is with you. God said your days on earth will be like that of a palm tree bearing fruit all seasons. Believe it, you won't die young. God has lifted his word above his name. His name can never fail so does his word. Not a dot will go unfulfilled.  Just like dew from heaven does not return till the earth is nourished, so his word won't return to him void. He

YOUR END IS GREAT

The end of a thing is better than the beginning thereof young man. You must come to term with this reality and allow it settle in your heart. It doesn't matter what you are going through now. It doesn't matter your conditions. It may be tough and rough. It may be so for now. Yes, don't worry as God is in charge of your course. God has never departed from you and his plan is with a great end. Thus, your end is great and you will rejoice. Most young people allows their present shape them badly and they concludes in it their heart that nothing can come forth from them again. And you see, your heart has issues of life flowing from it. It can also be deceived and formed into wrong shape. So, you must tell yourself glorious things daily. You must tell yourself daily that God has great plans for you. You must also picture that end and allow it shape you heart. Don't ever allow the devil to lie to you that you won't matter. Don't ever allow Satan to lie to you that you

SCENT OF WATER

There is hope for a tree that is cut down if its not totally uprooted. At the scent of water, it will spring back to life. There is hope for you even if you have failed and fallen. There is hope for you even if all thing seems to be against you. Yes, you have hope cos God has never departed from you. He promised to keep you and sustain you. Your season of draught notwithstanding. You dryness is not an issue he can't resolve. He is capable of doing the impossible. There is hope at the scent of water. Young man, your dry circumstances is evidently a pointer of your need for more of God. Am I saying you never have him? No, I am saying it points to how much of him you even need now. You need God now than ever. It is not now you should give up on him or walk away from his precepts. It is not now that you should despise his instructions. It is even now that you should hear him speak more. Elijah was closer than ever to God during the famine period. God was there to guide him all along th

TAKE FEEDBACKS

Young man, a very short one for you today. How often do you listen to corrections? How often do you give in to rebuke that are goodly and godly? How often do you allow elders and colleagues to check you and give you feedbacks on your behaviors and actions? You sure know that a man's way is perfect in his sight. Only God judge intentions. However, he place people around you who could check you and tell you to take cautions. People who can check you cos of their love for you. Elders who can rebuke you and tell you the truth.   David had one in Joab when he wanted to do the unnecessary census that God was against. He never listened. He was arrogant not to and it cost the Israelite badly. Several lives were lost cos he never allowed a check and caution. A child that is been chastised and hardens his neck will be destroyed suddenly. Take the warning signs. Take the corrections. They are subsets of feedbacks and it helps to grow who you are designed to be. You need to know that God is de

SWEET SACRILEGE

It is a red line, don't cross it. Its very enticing and inviting at the same time. The moment you fail to take caution against it, you may end up enjoying it and sharing it with others. Young man, you will be privileged to some godly rebuke and corrections. You will be privileged to some divine blockage and hindrances. I mean you will have some opportunities blocked by God. You will have some of your journey hindered and you will know by the virtues of his word that God is at work. You will sense it that God did it. Don't ever run your way through such blockages. Don't ever overpower such moves. Once you have his word pointing to the fact that God is missing from such path, don't ever proceed. You may be entering a path that will finish you earlier. You may be entering a path where your sun may set in mid day. Such path may produce sweet honeys. Such path may bring goods and golds. It may bring beautiful ladies and cute guys. Such path may yield promotions and connectio
