We live to please God and not man.

Image
The shirt/dress we put on, the shoes we wear, the expensive food we eat, the cars we buy, the luxurious life style we live. Do we do all these to please God or Man? Some people will act blind when they see others suffering, they will pretend they don't have and instead of letting it end there, they will go an extra mile to hurt you. God is not going to judge Man according to how much he possess in his Account, he is not going to judge according to the luxurious life style one lives, he is not going to judge the expensive schools one attended or sponsoring their Children to attend BUT he is going to judge you according to how you lived and made good use of your resources. Buying expensive wants is not bad, saving huge in your accounts is not bad, making savings for your future or unborn children is not bad but would you have to look down on people who needs urgently and presently. Ask yourself that, "When I die right now, what accounts will I render to the Creator?"...

If Tomorrow Doesn't Come

An old man told me a story about his late cousin who used most part of his active life in service to pay off a mortgage. He wanted to build a mansion so he took a huge loan for it. All other dreams he had were buried in his quest to build this mansion as he was stretched to the limits. He died shortly after his retirement and in a few years, his wife and two children he left behind had no real time use for his mansion. To them, it was too big, a waste of space and to all intent and purposes, old-fashioned. They sold the house off to buy a smaller apartment and some cars. The man who told me this story was pained for one thing: that mansion was the reason his cousin could hardly take care of other life's necessities. He literally lived for it but shortly after he was gone, it was up for sale. Friends, for once, slow down and take good care of yourself. I know you like to save for tomorrow but today happens to be a tomorrow you once talked about. For many people, their tomor...

MY LIFE JOURNEY, NOT A COMPETITION.

You were born in a first class hospital, I was delivered at home, we both survived. You went to a private primary school and I went to a public school, we both ended in the same high school. You woke up from the bed and I woke from the floor, we both had a peaceful night rest. Your outfits are all expensive, mine are all simple and cheap, we both still cover our nakedness. You ate fried rice and roasted chicken, I ate local made food but we both still ate to our satisfaction. You ride on Lexus jeep, Range Rover, G Wagon, Hummer Jeep and I use public transport but we still got to our various destination. You may be reading this post from your Sony Xperia,  Goldvish Le Million, Vertu Signature Cobra, Samsung Galaxy 8Edge, iPhone11s+ and I typed it with my Touch one broken screen, we still see the message. Lifestyle is not a competition and there are different ways to get a lot of things done, different lanes all leading to the same destination. Just because your neig...

WHERE IS MY DESTINY.

My  house,  my  car,  my  children,  my  certificates,  my  job,  my  husband,  my  wife,  my  families,  my  clothes,  my  SHOE..... My !  My!!  My !!! What  is  this  life worth? A  man  was informed  about the  death  of his  father,  but  he  tarried.  When  his  father  started  smelling,  their  neighbours  took  his  father  to  the  mortuary  for  preservation. A  week  later,  he went  to  the mortuary  to  see the  corpse  of  his  father.  When  he  was  about  to enter  the  place, there  was  a poster  placed  at the  entrance  of the  mortuary,  of which  no  one  can  escape  it...

JUST A LITTLE MISTAKE.

One night, just before the shopkeeper closed for the day, a dog came into the shop, having a bag in its mouth. The bag had a list of items to be bought and money so the shopkeeper took the money and kept the items in the bag. Immediately, The dog picked up the bag of items and left. The shopkeeper was surprised and went behind the dog to see who the owner was. The dog waited at the bus stop, After sometime, a bus came and the dog got into the bus. As soon as the conductor came, it moved forward to show its neck belt which had money and the address as well. The conductor took the money and put the ticket in its neck belt again. When it reached the destination, the dog went to the front and wagged its tail indicating that it wanted to get down, the moment the bus stopped, it got down. The shopkeeper was still following it. The dog knocked on the door of a house with its legs. Its owner came from inside and beat it rudely with a stick. The shocked shopkeeper asked him "why ...

¶ WHO HURTS YOU!

~When Abraham Lincoln became the president of America, his father was a shoemaker.  And, naturally, egoistic people were very much offended that a shoemaker’s son should become the president.   On the first day, as Abraham Lincoln entered to give his inaugural address, just in the middle, one man stood up.  He was a very rich aristocrat.  He said, “Mr. Lincoln, you should not forget that your father used to make shoes for my family."  And the whole Senate laughed; they thought that they had made a fool of Abraham Lincoln. But certain people are made of a totally different mettle. Lincoln looked at the man directly in the eye and said, “Sir, I know that my father used to make shoes for your family, and there will be many others here because he made shoes the way nobody else can. He was a creator. His shoes were not just shoes; he poured his whole soul into them. I want to ask you, have you any complaint? Because I know how to make shoes myself. If you hav...

It's A Mistake To Think Time Is Going

Image
It is a mistake to think time is going. Time is not going. Time is here until the world ends. It is you that is going. You don’t waste time. Time is infinite. You waste yourself. You are finite. It is you that grows old and die. Time doesn’t. So make better use of it. And one of the worst things to do with time is comparing yourself to others. A cow eats grass and gets fat but if dog eats grass, it will die. Never compare yourself with others. Run your race. What works for one person may be that which will kill you. Focus on the gifts and talents God gave you and don’t be envious of the blessings He gave others_ . Both Lion and Shark are professional hunters, BUT: A Lion cannot hunt in the Ocean and a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle That a Lion cannot hunt in the ocean doesn't make him useless and that a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle doesn't also make him useless both have their own territory where they can do well If a rose smells better than tomatoes, It doesn...
