<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">The first thing to know about the door of expansion is that
it is a stretching place—as opposed to the natural door that quickly crosses
the mind upon setting eyes on the title. The book of Acts chapter 10 verses 5,
and 24 to 29 bears an incident involving the apostle Peter and a gentile by the
name of Cornelius…wherein the door of expansion as being a stretching place is
realized. The book of Acts all by itself is quite complicated. It is an
expression of men’s first attempt to carry the mandate of God without the
physical presence of God there to stir it. It is to try a flight of these new
apostles as they step into leadership…and more importantly, it is to try
understanding what the leader has spoken. There is usually a great gulf between
what a leader or a teacher says and what a student understands. Teaching
something one time doesn’t mean the students understand it. Some people do not
hear what a teacher says. And some hear what they want the teacher to have
said.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Being that people do not get it all at once, the apostles—in
Acts of the apostles, were grappling to see how to first of all successfully
retain an adequate understanding of the Word of God because you cannot teach
what you do not understand. During the days of Jesus, the apostles learned
directly from Him. But in Acts, they were under the administration of the Holy
Spirit. The Christ that was physically with them in the near past was no longer
with them but was in them and His voice spoke to them from the inside, not from
the outside anymore. Now, the problem with hearing the voice of Christ from the
inside is that it is not the only voice that speaks. When God speaks within
you, you have to filter because there are other voices also speaking from the
inside of you. These voices speak about your past, history, your religious
tradition, your opinion, and ideology. Hence, it is easy to confuse the voice
of God with your opinion and the rest of the speaking of those voices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Being yet new to that new wave of God, the apostles were
still learning how to differentiate between the voice of God and the other
voices and impulses. Understanding the difference between those voices was the
process through which they grappled and disagreed amongst themselves on several
occasions. Even in this day and age, long after the days of the apostles when
the era of the Holy Spirit was still fresh, preachers still debate over texts,
and this should be far from being out of place because even those who heard
Jesus directly—had different ideas and strove to understand Jesus’ own words.
But then, such is expedient of God’s Word when it comes to diagnosing it
because…if God’s Word was easily understood and diagnosed, then God would not
be God. The Bible talks about God’s thoughts not being man’s thoughts and His
ways being above man’s ways, and that as the heavens are above the earth, so
are His thoughts above man’s thoughts. If God could be easily explained, He
would not be God. Anything that can be easily explained can be managed, and
that’s not God.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">The things of God cannot be received through
intellectualism. He must be revealed and experienced, worked out in your life
and circumstances…and little by little, He wins us—from the elementary
fundamental ideologies that started us on our way, as we graduate from faith to
faith and from glory to glory in our understanding if we are not afraid to let
go of what we once held as true. In school, addition was all that was true
until multiplication was introduced. Multiplication became all that was true
until algebra was brought up. The same was the case with algebra until
trigonometry was brought forth. Each introduction got higher and higher, and to
embrace the next principle, one has to be willing to move beyond the one that
he/she was taught before. The truth, however, is that moving beyond is so
hard…but it’s the only way to progress. Upon the inauguration of the era of the
Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, the men who experienced from afar—accused
the disciples of being drunk, intoxicated, and so rowdy and noisy that it
interrupted the city.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Many great and miraculous acts were wroth by the Holy Spirit
following that inauguration on Pentecost which disrupted even more cities and
left even more people awestruck, attesting to the gifts and anointing of the
Holy Spirit at work in the lives of the apostles. But it is possible to have
more power, talent, and anointing than one has understanding. Sometimes a man’s
gifts/talents/anointing can take a man into places that a man’s head is not
ready for. In cases like this, all a person can do is to give all he can—to
level up…instead of giving all he should—to see to the discharging of all that
is expected of him. This was the case with the apostles in their early days in
ministry. So God had to deal with their minds and spirits…and in the tenth
chapter of the book of acts, it became so apparent how God was weaving lives
together to His glory.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">In that chapter, it is seen how God prepared two different
men from two different worlds, two different cultures, and two different
ideologies. Both men did not know of each…yet God weaved their experience
together—that by the time their paths crossed, something divine happened.
Herein—is understood the providence of God, that God does not just get a man
ready for something, but likewise gets that thing ready for the man…just
as—while Abraham was walking up on one side of the hill to sacrifice Isaac, the
Ram that was sacrificed in place of Isaac was walking up towards him from the
other side of the hill…so that it would be there by the time Abraham and his
son got there—and become Isaac’s substitute so that he wasn’t sacrificed. In essence,
both parties were climbing toward each other without each other’s awareness,
and this points to the reality of the fact that—as you advance towards a thing,
God has that thing advancing towards you too. It is just a matter of time and
your paths will cross as you both journey toward each other simultaneously.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Sometimes we are so engrossed with our journey and what we
go through in the rocks, ridges, hills, and valleys we climb that we fail to be
cognizant of the fact that God has blessings coming up from the other side of
our journey to meet us. Sometimes the rocks, ridges, hills, and valleys we
encounter on our path are not due to any shortcoming on our path. We could be
well ready for all we are reaching out for. But since we are ready, God has to
make ready for us—what we are reaching out for us…so that—being ready for each
other, we encounter at the same place at the same time…and such was the case at
the doorway of the house of the gentile believer—Cornelius. It all collided at
the doorway…an expansion…the door of expansion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">-----</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">INTRODUCTION</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Before becoming the first gentile-turned-believer, Cornelius
had been an Italian centurion who headed a band of soldiers called the “Italian
Band.” He was a devout, spiritual man, and generous man who had been in the
habit of giving alms all through his life. He was a man of prayer and
consecration, a man of discipline and honor, a man that God had taken notice
of—on account of his deeds, a man who had done all there was—to get himself
into God’s good books except for the fact that he was a gentile and without
covenant with God like the Jews, hence exempted from the commonwealth of
Israel. Not one of the sons of Abraham. Yet he had an experience with God that
won the commendation of God. It must be the likes of Cornelius that Jesus spoke
of—when He said “…other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I
must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one
shepherd.” Normally, traditional orthodox Judaism would have considered
Cornelius a “dog.” A dog is a biblical name for someone who is not of the
covenant…an unbeliever.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Under normal circumstances, Cornelius fell into this
category and wasn’t eligible to receive the kind of blessing that he received
nor have the depth of relationship with God that he had. This becomes
instructive, as one ponders over certain folks in our world today who have been
canceled and invalidated by others…when actually, God has approved and
validated such persons. God commended Cornelius’ prayers which had gone up
before Him as a memorial and had taken notice of his generosity/support by
carefully watching him just as Jesus sat by the offering table to take notice
of the people’s giving and ultimately commending the widow’s might. God’s
response to Cornelius on account of his commendable deeds was to visit his
household with salvation, establish a covenant with them and usher them into
the commonwealth of Israel. But this process wasn’t one-way traffic. It started
with a vision of an angel showing up and giving him specific instructions on
what to do afterward; then a follow-up on this instruction as well as Peter’s
preparatory encounter as well.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">-----</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">THE PROCESS</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This process that began with an angelic visitation was what
ultimately led to the “door of expansion.” But as earlier said, it wasn’t
one-way traffic. God decided to establish many dots and have them connected in
a lovely sequence that resulted in the salvation of a gentile household. Why
did God tow this seemingly complex path of bombarding both Cornelius and Peter
with visions and then have Cornelius send men to fetch Peter while treating
Peter to an extended revelation session that annulled a Leviticus ordinance
while setting in motion a new order that accommodated gentiles in the plan of
salvation? God gave both Cornelius and Peter an overview of what he was set to
do without affording them a detailed synopsis thereof because He requires His
flock to walk by faith and not by sight. If God were to give a detailed
explanation of what He was set to do, Cornelius and Peter wouldn’t require much
faith because the plan would already have been clear.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">He only gave them an idea of something amazing that was
about to happen and left them with the task of employing their faith to connect
the dots until the jackpot was hit…just as He does with us today. Upon waking
from the dream in which he encountered the angel, Cornelius assembles his
household and sends his servants to Joppa to fetch Peter, following the angel’s
directive. Cornelius, though a gentile, was brought up to speed on Peter’s
exact location and asked to fetch him. The reason for fetching Peter was not
made known to him. How difficult would it have been for the angel to disperse
that information to him? But he didn’t. Cornelius just had to fetch Peter and
watch out for what was to follow. On the other hand, while the angel was having
this conversation with Cornelius, Peter is having a dream at Simon’s house that
was in line with Cornelius’ experience. But Peter’s experience is even more
intricate and complex than that of Cornelius.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Up on the roof of Cornelius’ house, Peter had fallen asleep
hungry and had a dream about food…like most people who go to bed hungry. In his
dream, he saw all types of four-footed beasts of all types and descriptions
that were unclean according to old testament standards. So peter gets
instructed to rise and slay and eat the animals but he wouldn’t, being a devout
Jew who plays by the rules. But he gets confronted by God as to why he would
dare refer to what He has been cleansed as uncommon and unclean…coming down
right out of heaven. Isn’t it just amazing how something that looks wrong and
forbidden by law could come down right out of heaven? At some point, God
declared such beasts unclean, and so they were unclean. But in Peter’s time,
that declaration had been changed for the best. Peter was reading old data
about those creatures and God had to bring him up to speed by dropping science
on him as regards the new data on those creatures.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Such is common today amongst people…there are always people
somewhere reading old data about others, and God, for some reason, always lets
somebody survive to bring up what you used to doubt the integrity of where you
are now…to question the legitimacy of your salvation and conversion, etc., just
like Peter did. That occasion was ceased by God to talk to Peter about men and
religious ideas by religious who deem themselves experts in the art of determining
who God is and who God loves…etc. So it is not out of place to see certain
people attempt to dictate what plays out in the lives of others when they
haven’t been able to make the achieving the same thing for themselves. They try
to lock other people out of places that they have never been. Isn’t that
confusing? Peter fell into that category…though it had to do with animals. But
God’s response becomes instructive in the sense that the admonition Peter
gets—cuts across from animals to humans.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">God’s dealing with Peter was to get him ready for Cornelius
whose servants were already on their way to fetch him. Ordinarily, Peter would
not have heeded Cornelius’ invite. So, getting Peter ready was of the essence.
But then, Peter, being who he was, would have been expected to be spiritually
mature past such preparations because, firstly, he had been with Jesus for over
three years and watched Jesus demonstrating his power in the life of gentiles.
He had seen Jesus mingle with the Samaritan at the well. He had heard Jesus’
sermon on the good Samaritan. He even had a first-class Pentecost experience—of
which Jesus had said they would receive power after the Holy Ghost had come on
them so they could be witnesses in gentile territories. Peter would have been
expected to have had a deeper revelation of God on account of those classes.
But the fact remains that people don’t change easily. He still needed a dream
to confirm the very words of Jesus.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">God had opened a door of opportunity to extend the gospel to
the Gentiles. But for fear that Peter was not prepared for that opportunity on
account of prejudice, and for fear that Peter would be hungry for something,
yet be so biased that he would refuse to eat, preparation had to precede that
encounter. Hunger might be one of the strongest cravings in the human body. But
sometimes our hunger may not even be enough to make us think beyond our
tradition…as evident in Peter’s case. His hunger couldn’t overcome his bias.
Thankfully, by the time Cornelius’ servants got to Peter, he had been duly
schooled to grab that opportunity, and he did. It must be noted here that the
only reason Peter went to Cornelius’ house was that he had a dream that a door
was about to open. His dream did not include any details on what would possibly
be on the other side of the door. Neither was Cornelius given details on what
Peter’s visit would afford him. The divine plan required that they went through
this process to collide with each other in what would be a DOOR OF EXPANSION.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">-----</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">LINEAR
PERSPECTIVE</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Thus far, this has been a sermon by a revered American
Bishop which continues at intermitted intervals as the journey proceeds. At
this point, a linear perspective of various positions that can be drawn from
the message thus far—will come into examination…like a teacher pausing a
lecture session to afford students the chance to share what they’ve gotten from
the lectures hitherto. As the Bishop stated at the start of the sermon, “there
is a great gulf between what a leader says and what a student understands.
Teaching something one time doesn’t mean the students understand it. Some
people do not hear what a teacher or a leader says…while some hear what they
want the teacher or the leader to have said.” Mounting the position of students,
the assignment now would be to examine and close the gap between the teacher’s
teaching and the student's understanding. Students must necessarily fall into
one of these categories: “those who do not hear what the teacher says,” and
“those who hear what they want the teacher to have said.” Let’s get to
scrutiny.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">In present times, an opportunity to extend the gospel of
Christ to unbelievers would hardly be considered a door of expansion…little
wonder the apostle Paul cried out from jail in Philippians 1:15-19 that some
preached Christ out of envy and rivalry while others did so out of goodwill.
The latter, he added, preached Christ in love, knowing that he was in jail for
the defense of the gospel. But the former preached Christ out of selfish
ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they could stir up trouble for him
while he was in chains. Howbeit, none of that mattered to him, as the important
thing, according to him, was that in every way, whether from false motives or
true, Christ was preached. Extending the footprints of the gospel was a delight
to the early apostles—which was why most of their divine visions centered on
what parts of the earth they were to navigate the gospel to. In Acts 10, God’s
Spirit was about to break into gentile territories via the instrument of
Cornelius, an attested devout and god-fearing man who was in the habit of
refreshing the poor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">But the challenge, like it is today, was Matthew 9:37: “the
harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” It can be recalled how that—in
2nd Corinthians 9:1-4, Paul thought it needful to write the saints in Achaia
about their eagerness to help the Macedonians, informing them how he had
boasted about their readiness to give and how their enthusiasm had stirred
those in Achaia to action. However, for his boast to not prove hollow in the
end, he sent some brothers ahead to remind them to finish their arrangement for
the generous gift they promised—so that the Macedonians would not come and find
them unprepared, and all his boasts over them would amount to nothing but
shame. Paul most likely got this idea from God, as God Himself did the same
with Peter ahead of the arrival of Cornelius’ servants. If God had not afforded
Peter that encounter, he certainly wouldn’t have heeded the call of Cornelius
because it was out of place for Jews to mingle with gentiles. And the purpose
of God for gentiles as regarding Jesus’ death would have been defeated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">The door of Cornelius’ house was one Peter would never have accessed.
But doing so was a blessing and a furtherance of his ministry, especially being
that his ministry was to center on Jews. What do you do when God puts your
blessing in a house whose door you would never go in? What do you do when God
situates your healing in a church that you’ve vowed to never worship in? What
do you do when God routes the answer to the problem in your marriage through a
preacher you don’t like? What do you do when God puts your breakthrough behind
what you might perceive as enemy lines? If God hadn’t required Peter to get up,
kill and eat…and not call anything impure that God has made clean, Peter would
never have been stretched to extend the footprints of the gospel to the gentile
territory. Likewise, when God gets ready to stretch a man, He puts the man’s
blessings in places that challenge his tradition. When God gets ready to
stretch a man, He puts the man’s blessings in places that challenge the man’s
comfort zone. He takes the man out of his element and puts his blessings in
places of discomfort…to have the man stretched. Ever been stretched by God?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Examining the different perspectives of “a door,” what is
the first impression that hits the mind when “door” is mentioned? Firstly,
“doors are how one gets in.” For anything a man wants to get into, he has to
find the door, as there is no getting in without finding the door. A door, in
this context, goes beyond being a wood frame with a handle or a door knob that
one could turn to pop open. Jesus says in John 10:9: “I am the door: by me if
any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.” While men see doors as wood and brass handles, God sees doors as
access to new dimensions. By saying He is the door, Jesus meant to inform us that
He is access to another dimension. For everything a man wants to get into,
there is a door… and access to something that one was possibly locked out of
before. Note, however, that a door, in this context, also goes beyond being a
person (as in Jesus’ case). A door could also be a job, an opportunity, a
place, etc. Doors are not always big. In most cases (if not all cases), rooms
that doors give access to—are usually bigger than the doors. Just because the
door is small—does not mean the room it gives access to—is small.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">-----</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">THE DOOR OF
CORNELIUS’ HOUSE</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Before we go into the details of what ensued on the inside
of Cornelius’ house upon Peter’s arrival, let’s relish an instruction that
ensues at the door. Cornelius, a great man in authority, sets eyes on Peter and
his first line of action is to prostrate and offer what can be deemed “worship”
to Peter. This is a man of power and influence…one that would not be expected
to express that manner of humility. However, he went low for Peter. In reality,
most times, it is the big guys who don’t have a problem going low. Little guys
are fond of puffing up, and that’s because they don’t feel safe enough to go
low. Arrogant people are usually small. Cornelius was no small guy, so he had
no problem going down low for Peter. He understood that humility is a
prerequisite for access to the next dimension. One who is too high—will hardly
access a door that ushers to another dimension. Those who deem themselves as
“high people” usually get stuck at the door while “low people” slide in most
easily. To be so low as to access such doors, you’ve got to be big enough.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">But it’s not much about Cornelius’ expression of humility as
it is about Peter’s response to that gesture. Notice this: Cornelius sends his
servants to fetch Peter and bring him to his house, via his horses, and after
all that stress, he still lay prostrate to greet Peter at the door of his own
house where he makes all the payments…and this is the same Peter that wouldn’t
have heeded Cornelius’ invitation if the mighty God of heaven had not talked
him into going. Cornelius thought so much of Peter that he esteems Peter so
highly, yet this is the same person who would never have eaten with him…if for
any reason he managed to heed his invitation without God’s nudge. Peter returns
the gesture by urging Cornelius to not worship him, as he was only a man like
him. If one thinks about it carefully, Peter’s gesture, though appearing
equally humble, may not have been exactly humble. There is the possibility that
he was guilty, knowing fully well his impression of the likes of Cornelius. It
can allude that there’s nothing like being treated nicely by whom you’ve
talking badly about.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">No wonder Jesus says in Matthew 5:44: “…love your enemies,
bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” When you heed this scripture
and do good to those who despitefully use you, you shame them because it gets
found out that you are not what they thought you were. It is a mess when one
tries to get toe-to-toe with such people. It is also a mess to be nasty to
their nasty. Contrarily, being nice to their nasty disgraces them and makes
obvious to them where they belong. Peter would have expected a man like
Cornelius to put up the kind of aweless attitude that Ahab displayed towards the
prophet Elijah. Likewise, Cornelius would have expected a man like Peter who
was recommended to him by an angel, to assume a god-like pedestal, inflating
his self-importance or something like that. But before their meeting, God had
stretched both parties and got them ready for that encounter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Cornelius’ house is the app that opens up a new dimension of
salvation to the Gentiles. An app is what you click on—to access a program that
is bigger than the little icon you tapped to launch that app. Cornelius’ house
was the app Peter had to touch to open up gentile nations to salvation, and
this was on account of Cornelius’ alms and prayers which God testified to
having gone up before Him, though he was a gentile. By so doing, he earned
himself and his household a chance to be taken into a new dimension on the
wings of salvation. Another thing to note at this point is that: though these
events play out at the door of Cornelius’ house, it is not that door that
ushers Cornelius and his household into another dimension. It only grants Peter
access into his house…after which access to another dimension ensues, the door
to that dimension being Cornelius himself. Sometimes people think of themselves
as being at a door, not knowing that they are the door. Cornelius was the door
to another dimension for himself and his household. Peter was only instrumental
in affording them the required body of knowledge that would make for their
entry therein.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Let’s digress a little and have some chit-chats on the enemy
attack. It may be possible that the enemy doesn’t launch attacks on individuals
for the sake of “playing the enemy.” It may be because you are a door. It may
be because of what access through you could afford you and those who gain entry
into the next dimension through you…as was the case with Cornelius’ household.
Because of him being a door to another dimension on account of salvation, his
entire household accessed that dimension too, evidenced by the gift of speaking
in new tongues…the very first sets of gentiles to have received the baptism of
the Holy Spirit. Those are the kinds of experiences that people who are
doors—afford others, and enemies do not fancy such matters. Was your childhood
so rough? Has your life been so tough? Have powerful forces been trying to stop
you? All these could be because you are a door. Being a door to another
dimension comes with a price. Being a point of an entry comes at a cost because
there is always some behind such persons…something they open up to, something
they bring to the table that nobody brings (like they bring). Such people stir
the devil’s hatred.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Likewise, that is why God conscripts such people into his
service. That is why people are attracted and get drawn to such people.
Cornelius never knew he was a door. He only knew himself to be a philanthropic
prayer warrior of a soldier who loved God. The same is the case with most
people today. One way to know that you may be a door is that everybody tries to
get next to you, consciously or unconsciously. As a door, you lead to
something. You open up something. You grant access to something. Knowing you
gets people into something. Also, Cornelius wasn’t the only door in this
instance. Peter was also a door. He ushered three thousand souls into God’s
kingdom via his inaugural message on the day of Pentecost. Peter was a door
because he unlocked the new testament experience of the Holy Ghost. That was
why Jesus said to him in Matthew 16:18: “…I tell you that you are Peter, and on
this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">So, Peter, being a door, comes to Cornelius who is also a
door, and they both meet at a door, and a collision of these doors gave rise to
what came to be a DOOR OF EXPANSION. When doors meet doors, things expand.
Doors need to meet doors. Doors deserve doors. Be mindful of opportunists. They
are not doors. They only try to get to you (a door) so they can get through you
and plunder as much of what is on the inside of you as they can. But when
genuine doors meet genuine doors, there will always be expansion. The
implication of this piece to those whose appetites it has delightfully fed is
that—this is a word of direction for the edification of such lots. This is a
word from the Lord, saying that He is bringing doors together…connecting doors
to doors to foster expansion. It is a word from the Lord, saying that one must
be willing to give up on past revelations to be stretched into a new direction.
It is a word from God preparing for unlikely doors, not the obvious door. Doors
that challenge default thoughts and perceptions of things. Doors that do not
meet within the landscape of normal philosophical ideas. It is a word from the
Lord, warning one to not walk in what he had said…but to walk in what he is saying.
If Peter had continued to walk in the word that God had said, he would have
never come to Cornelius’ house because it was God that had said not to eat with
gentiles.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">CONCLUSION</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">What was declared unclean in Leviticus had been made clean
and become clean in Acts of the apostles. What was wrong had become right, and
one had to be broad enough to handle a God in transition and not just a God of
tradition because doors are transitions, not tradition. One cannot have
transitions if traditions are held onto, and that is where God is stretching
humanity towards in these last days because if He does not break the old
normal, new opportunities will be missed. The effect of embracing doors as
transitions and not as tradition is seen in the encounter between Cornelius and
Peter. Peter, who would have thought himself a seed of Abraham while deeming
Cornelius a dog, rather reached down and raised Cornelius in light of
Cornelius’ humility, declaring himself to be no different from Cornelius. Peter
even informed Cornelius that under normal circumstances he wouldn’t be there,
and only honored his invitation because God commissioned him to do so in a
dream. Hence, the tradition was nullified and a transition was embraced, even
in the face of what initially came off as an uncertainty. Everyone included in
the encounter was in a place of uncertainty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Firstly, Peter had traveled to a place he wasn’t sure what
was to be expected of him. He only obliged a divine instruction to go along
with those who had come to fetch him. Likewise, Cornelius only heeded a divine
instruction to fetch Peter. So what exactly was to ensue upon their encounter?
God never mentioned it to either party. Uncertainty. The worst feeling to
plague a leader is the feeling of uncertainty. Both men were leaders, happened
to find themselves in a position where they couldn’t determine what was to
ensue, yet were expected to pilot affairs amicably. In life, some leaders
somehow find themselves in a place of confusion but try to act like they have
it all together while not being sure of what would happen next. Cornelius had
brought a host of people to his house without being particularly sure why he
invited them. He had no idea what was to happen. The same goes for Peter. Do
you ever have feelings you talk to no one about but the feeling has you sitting
on the side of your bed at night, asking, “why am I here? What is my value
here?” That is a place of uncertainty…and the thing about uncertainty is that
it is uncomfortable…very uncomfortable.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">So, what does one do when one finds himself in such
situations? What does one do when one becomes unsure of everything and
anything? What does one do when one no longer knows what to do? Could this
state of uncertainty have been why Cornelius had no problem prostrating before
Peter? Because he was no longer sure of all he had been sure of—following a
first-time firsthand encounter with divinity? Very importantly, there must be
an adequate understanding of the situation. Whenever there is about to be an
expansion, it gets confusing. It becomes uncertain. But then, the hack is
simple: first and foremost is that one must be in the room and not at the door
or outside. Without being in the room, nothing is to be expected to happen. But
having made it into the room with all the uncertainty and all, simply do what
Peter did, having found himself in the same position. The big question: “what
did Peter do?” Short and simple: HE DID WHAT HE DOES.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">When you are in a place of uncertainty, just do what you do.
Peter simply did what he does…the gospel. He preached the gospel. Never get to
a place of uncertainty and stop doing what you do…because God brings people to
such places to have them do what they…to the end that they might be an
occurrence of expansion. At other times, either cloven tongues of fire fell on
people or hands were laid on people to see to a baptism of the Holy Spirit. But
this time, Peter just started talking because that is what he does, and there
was a baptism of the Holy Ghost. Once you do what you do, things just happen as
they ought to. Acts 10:44 says: “while Peter yet spake these words, the Holy
Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.” No hands were laid. No oil was
poured. Peter did what he did, and boom, he had the outcome that was expedient
of him by heaven. Thus was the footprint of the gospel extended to the gentile
territory. Even so—may it be unto you today!<o:p></o:p></p>Jezuzboi©http://www.blogger.com/profile/00075707738347915903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837972922532528080.post-12603031119812631422022-05-06T19:29:00.005+01:002022-05-06T19:29:58.435+01:00THE SPIRIT OF FAITH<p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHhvQUVYsLpqGBJRLcov8sS0Ewl0TNwgGXO0_Vn0aTPt2S-MZwyeaJcMGJ5k_VRamGjJ2g22PkslpIgiv9xaFd-0P-QGkTt6jCWhxeYD2DFsNYxPm_QvANqaJbm2oEo3BEUwwvwBgCf8DgSDtct4mjizRZDlPWWg7MMKkRKEmY8T1BuvbkboRnnp_3gQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="627" data-original-width="1200" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHhvQUVYsLpqGBJRLcov8sS0Ewl0TNwgGXO0_Vn0aTPt2S-MZwyeaJcMGJ5k_VRamGjJ2g22PkslpIgiv9xaFd-0P-QGkTt6jCWhxeYD2DFsNYxPm_QvANqaJbm2oEo3BEUwwvwBgCf8DgSDtct4mjizRZDlPWWg7MMKkRKEmY8T1BuvbkboRnnp_3gQ=w549-h287" width="549" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We serve a God of times and seasons. Somebody is changing
position today. God is raising somebody to another level today. Somebody’s
servitude is ending today. Somebody’s struggle is finally ending today. Every
Word (Sermon) session is an impartation session. The bible says: “and the
Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me.” Satan has no power over you as
long as you have the Spirit in you. But for the Spirit to enter into you, your
heart must be open. The Spirit can’t enter when the heart is not open. No one
will be left out of God’s agenda for change of level. As you catch a
revelation, it changes your position. Every revelation is ordained to effect a
change of position…changed from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Lord.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you maintain a strong unbroken focus on what the Holy
Ghost is doing right now, something will be fired into your life. Amen. The
Spirit of faith will bring you into rest, and that Spirit must enter into your
life today. Everything that represents unrest in your life must park and go
today. All you have to do is believe. The bible says that “they that believe do
enter into rest.” God has ordained to launch you into the realm of no limit,
and faith is the gateway to it, and the Spirit of faith is the guarantee for
it. Faith is our access to the realm of no limit. Applauding men and women of
faith who by faith defied odds and broke limits, Hebrews 11:32-38 says:</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to
tell of Gedeon, of Barak, of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and
Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the
violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made
strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not
accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others
had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and
imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were
slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being
destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they
wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.”</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Faith is ever a command under any condition. It puts an end
to all struggles to make things happen. It is the key to a world of rest, and
when you are at rest, you provoke the supernatural acts of God because the
bible says; “be still, and you will know that I am God. I will be exalted among
the heathen.” Your rest is the platform for supernatural manifestation. Faith
brings you into rest that provokes supernatural manifestation on its own
accord. It takes faith to be still in the midst of a storm. Jesus was sleeping
while His disciples were fearfully fighting against a storm. And when He showed
up, He commanded the storm to be still. That is what faith is. Some people pay
no attention to naysaying. Their faith keeps them focused on pleasing Jesus
such that nothing else matters to them. And while many fear what tomorrow might
bring, men and women of faith are not because they are too sure of what
tomorrow holds for them. That is because they walk with the One who is in
charge of tomorrow, and there is nothing tomorrow will bring besides what the
Word says.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Look at that issue that seems to be holding you down and
say: “my release from you is today.” Faith affords you access to a world of no
limits. However, for faith to be that potent, some factors must empower it.”
The first thing about faith that empowers believers to become limit breakers is
A RIGHT HEART. Without a right heart, you are not a candidate for faith to
deliver. Without a right heart, one doesn’t have a part or lot with God. We
have the PRINCIPLES OF FAITH and we have the POWER OF FAITH. The principles of
faith can be accessed by anyone. But it takes only men and women with the right
heart to experience the power of faith. The bible says that your faith should
not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1st Corinthians 2:4
says “and my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.” You can’t indulge in vices
and expect faith to work. God is not a magician. Deception should go.
Manipulation should go. Salvation should be authentic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No scripture cancels another. The bible talks about the last
day when certain people will claim to have done miracles and great works in
Jesus’ name. Yet Jesus will tell them to depart from Him because He doesn’t
know them. He referred to them as “workers of iniquity.” You can afford to
operate the principles of faith. But without the power of faith, the principles
won’t work. And the first criteria for accessing the power of faith is THE
RIGHT HEART. A right heart is what it takes to attain a fruitful walk with God.
Another factor that empowers a believer to attain the realm of no-limit is the
HAND OF GOD. Faith provokes the hand of God upon a believer. The hand of God
brings about FAVOR. Nehemiah 2:8 says: “...and the king granted me, according
to the good hand of my God upon me.” And, nothing flies like favor. God’s hand
also grants divine speed in our pursuit. Joseph slept one night as a prisoner
and slept the next night as a prime minister. He broke all protocols on account
of the hand of God upon his life which granted him favor and speed.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Joseph’s experience is a raw definition of breaking
limits…all thanks to the hand of God and favor. Faith provokes divine
intervention by will. When it comes to faith, you don’t wait around for
something to happen. You provoke it by faith. When your faith is on fire on any
subject, you have committed God to intervene. You must have faith in God and
faith in His prophet. Faith in God establishes you. Faith in His prophets
prospers you. As you stir up your faith in God today, endeavor to do so also in
his prophet that you may prosper! The third factor that empowers believers to
break limits is the POWER OF GOD. Faith draws on the raw power of God for your
desired change of story. The power of God answers to faith and destroys the
siege of impossibilities. When your faith is at work, you are tapping into the
power of God for your change of story. The woman with the issue of blood only
had to touch Jesus’ garment to be healed…because of her faith.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Faith also commits God’s integrity to confirm His Word. When
faith comes alive, God’s integrity is permitted to confirm His word. Faith has the
power to quench all the fiery darts of the devil and hell—set against your life
and destiny, and to level every barrier on the paths of one’s progress. The
next factor that empowers believers to operate in the realm of no limits is
this: FAITH ENGRAFTS BELIEVERS INTO DIVINITY, empowering them to ACCOMPLISH THE
IMPOSSIBLE. Romans 11:17-23: “And if some of the branches be broken off, and
thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them
partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the
branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou
wilt say then, the branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well;
because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not
high-minded, but fear.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When faith is in place, you are grafted into God. You become
a partaker of the fruit and the olive. What is working in God begins to work in
you. It is engraftment into God that empowers believers to do the impossible,
enabling them to function at the frequency of God. Every time faith comes alive
on any subject, you are grafted into God at that moment. Whatever God can do;
you can command it to happen. Faith at work—brings the hand of God to be in
your life, which equals favor. You operate together with God. Therefore, it is
wise to keep building your faith so that these manifestations might become real
in your life. For you to experience these manifestations, one thing you must
jealously guard is your tongue.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">THE TONGUE<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Faith has its
seed in the heart but has its expression in the mouth. So, it is tongue-fired
faith that delivers. Whatever you are ashamed to say, God is ashamed to
confirm. What you are not going to say, you will never see. You only have
whatever you say. Faith moves you from needing sympathy to needing a solution
because the one thing faith breeds is solution. Every time you draw the word of
God from scripture and release it through your mouth in faith, it becomes
prophetic. It assumes a prophetic dimension. Once you declare it, you are bound
to see it come to pass if you do no doubt it in your heart. Whatever can’t be
seen in Christ is illegal in you, and it is by faith declarations that you
drive all sorts away. Engage your tongue to win the battles of your life.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">DECLARATIONS</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All health issues are turned into testimonies!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today marks the end of the siege of sickness and disease in
your life.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your resources will no longer be wasted on treating your
health.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Honor will locate you from the four corners of the earth.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your influence will cut across many nations.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can never be poor.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By this prophetic intervention, there is healing, at last,
there is freedom at last from every satanic oppression. And there is freedom
forever. Barrenness is over. Career stagnation and business failure are over.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><br /><p></p>Jezuzboi©http://www.blogger.com/profile/00075707738347915903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837972922532528080.post-20320060217226136482020-04-27T11:39:00.004+01:002020-06-09T00:21:25.077+01:00THE REAL BIG BIG BOYS (RICHES & GLORY)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b><span style="font-size: large;">ABSTRACT</span></b><br />
<br />
This ESSAY attempts to deeply explore RICHES and its DIVERSE CUSTODIANS. We’re all familiar with the much-loved biblical maxim that “money answers all things” - which ultimately projects financial freedom as being next to nothing when it comes to this natural world of ours. So it becomes understandable when folks get dead-hooked in various professions, fields of endeavor, passions, hustles, and whatnot; just to SECURE THE BAG and amass GREAT RICHES.<br />
<br />
The EXTOLMENT that comes with such financial establishment sparks sensations that are quite uncommon among TOMs, DICKs, and HARRYs. It takes more than being a BUSY BODY to amass riches that can provoke such SUPER GLORY; calling the GLOBAL VILLAGE’s attention to ITS CARRIERS. The earth indeed has its fill of MONEYBAGS. But filling the earth, even more, is the alarming number of wanna-be moneybags: you??? them… I, MOST DEFINITELY!<br />
<br />
But you see, there’s “Riches” and there are RICHES. There’s “Wealth” and there’s WEALTH. There’s “Glory” and there’s GLORY. They all count for FORTUNE. Even so, there’s “Fortune” and there’s FORTUNE. While many LOWER CLASS<br />
POPULATIONS would gladly settle and die at the MIDDLE-CLASS cadre if opportune, there are those who consider the UPPER CLASS their BIRTHRIGHT; and they want nothing less - even those from the HUMBLEST OF BACKGROUNDS.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Those breed launch into the earth to undertake diverse adventures as means of acquiring these coveted riches and its glorification thereof. As is typical with adventure games, you keep playing, moving from level to level. The slightest of mistakes can end the game. You have to attain mastery of the game through hard diligent learning and recurrent losses. The more you master it, the more you manage to meander across levels - and the closer you get to WINNING.<br />
<br />
But real-life adventures take quite a different turn of events. While the course of adventure in games is a one-way process, that of real-life adventure does not stop at being a two-way process: it goes further to be a three-way process, four-way process; as the spirit leads. So, those wanna-bes disperse off on a wealth hunt with great GUSTO, determined to never look back until the price is secured: the MONEY, FAME, POWER, BIG BOY STATUS – AT WHATEVER COST!<br />
<br />
Imagine the feeling that comes with being the CENTER OF ATTRACTION on account of your RICHES: the groove that comes with being a STARBOY. Everyone wants to identify and curry favor with you. You become THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE, the NEW GOD that most folks will gladly abandon their OLD GOD(S) for. The girls want to be with no one but you. From being the least desired, you become the DREAM GUY that the PRETTIEST OF MAIDENS want to have FOR KEEPS.<br />
<br />
You become all-round appealing: everything you say makes sense. Nothing you do meets disapprovals: you’re always right. You’re the SWEET that every tongue wants to LICK, the LIQUOR that DRUNK CHAPS want to SIP, the HARVEST that SOWERS want to REAP, and the FIGURE that EVERYONE wants to MEET. Jetting around the world is SPORT for you. You even take the PRIVATE JET thing to the next level, journeying in a CONVOY OF JETS IN THE AIR.<br />
<br />
No one has ever seen a convoy of jets in the air. So, automatically, you become a RECORD BREAKER. Many folks covet your extravagant lifestyle. Your life is all shades of GLORY and HONOUR. But be that as it may, all these are nothing but VANITY - in the opinion of certain people. They can TELL THAT TO THE BIRDS though, not the WANNA-BE BIG BOYS. These guys don’t entertain such CRAPPY TALKS. They want to win, to succeed, to become RICH - at all costs POSSIBLE!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>INTRODUCTION</b></span><br />
<br />
They say the sky is big enough for birds to fly without clashing. The waters are amply massive to drown all the earth. Likewise, there are ENOUGH RICHES TO GO ROUND. The bible even makes clear that “the portion of the earth is for all”: (Ecclesiastes 10:19). But if that’s the case, what then is the deal with the alarming number of paupers in the world’s nooks and crannies? What’s the deal with financial preys and their predators? Need I mention victims of Political brouhahas?<br />
<br />
But you see, those are the sorts of questions that WANNA-BE BIG BOYS don’t stick around to ask, or ask for too long. They couldn’t care less about paupers and preys and victims. Oh, they actually do care: they care enough to NOT WANT TO BE LIKE THEM! How I wish these riches were easy to acquire. Although the earth’s portions are for all, securing a portion for one’s self requires more than a sense of entitlement: one must make moves: – MONEY MOVES!<br />
<br />
“No PAIN, no GAIN!” “No STORY, no GLORY!” “The VIOLENT taketh by FORCE!” I could go on and on with excerpts from the deep orientations that govern the minds of these wanna-bes; as they reach out to LAMBANO what they believe to be their portion of the earth. Generally, nothing comes without a price. And here’s one thing I know about a price: IT MUST BE PAID. That wouldn’t be a problem for the wanna-bes. They are down: – DOWN FOR WHATEVER!<br />
<br />
Having supposedly been rightly oriented toward amassment of riches, they must have been fairly enlightened in the area of PRICES and their PAYMENTS thereof. It could be the STUDY HARD/WORK HARD policy as a pathway to bagging BIG BOY RICHES, or the SOFTWORK/SMART WORK approach as a means of stepping up to the BIGGER BOY LEVEL of riches, or SOME OTHER PATH, definitely a SUPERIOR PATH; as a means of bagging the BIGGEST BOY RICHES.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t matter the price to be paid. As long as the REWARD thereof is the PRIDE OF LIFE, it’s a GO for the wanna-bes. It takes a GREAT DEAL to be a BIG BOY. Being a BIGGER BOY takes even more! But it could take EVERYTHING to secure a place among the BIGGEST BOYS; – the ones who can paint a NEAR-PERFECT picture of the FAMED GOLDEN STREETS OF HEAVEN. Depending on your APPETITE for riches and glory, you can be any of THE BOYS!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE BIG BOYS (UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS)</b></span><br />
<br />
Perhaps I could start my analysis of the BIG BOYS with the 6-3-3-4 system of education in Nigeria: (I’m Nigerian by the way). 3 years of Pre-Primary Education followed by 6 years of Primary Education. Another 3 years of Junior Secondary School followed by 3 years of Senior Secondary School. Then comes 4 years of Higher Education. But it’s probably no news that this system has not achieved its objectives as envisioned by the National Policy on Education.<br />
<br />
The reason for that failure is simple: the system is poorly implemented. Howbeit, it has been the DOING of many BIG BOYS! The highly educated business professionals and specialists from different fields of endeavor: doctors, lawyers, stockbrokers, and CEOs. These, and the likes of them, make up the UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS. They are the BIG BOYS! They have their privileges, their blessedness, their recognition, etc. They have status: highly-rated men of SUBSTANCE!<br />
<br />
Merely being an undergraduate of LAW or MEDICINE is a REVERED STATUS. I see LAW STUDENTS march on campus in FLASHY UNIFORMS on a daily. They can easily be singled out in a multitude of students, especially THEATRE ARTS students who are said to be mostly dressed in “RAGS.” LOL. Underqualified wanna-be law students even get dumped in the Theatre Arts department, and their disdain for the department is something obvious enough for even the blind to see. LOL again. But what if I told you that this essay is brought to you from the DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE ARTS?<br />
<br />
The same goes for students of MEDICINE/other PROFESSIONAL COURSES. If merely being a POTENTIAL BIG BOY can rouse such reverence, what happens when things blow up and these potential big boys become ACTUAL BIG BOYS; by working their way to the UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS? Short and simple: they’ll RUN THE SHOW! But that’s all it is: “run the show.” They aren’t the ones who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, and they most certainly aren’t the ones who CALL THE SHOTS!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THE BIGGER BOYS (LOWER-UPPER CLASS)</span></b><br />
<br />
When it comes to MAKING THINGS HAPPEN, give it to the BIGGER BOYS (those at the LOWER-UPPER CLASS). These are those with NEW MONEY: money from investments, business ventures, etc. They have the potential to climb to the upper-upper class (the biggest boys). The thing with Bigger Boys is that they find no fulfillment in merely RUNNING THE SHOW (like the Big Boys). So they don’t just STUDY/WORK HARD: they WORK SMART! You can call it “SOFTWORK.”<br />
<br />
They MAKE THINGS HAPPEN in the sense that they CREATE and MAINTAIN their own riches. They are not necessarily literates, as they don’t necessarily PLAY SAFE by threading the SAFE ZONE of ACADEMIA. They want to be more than mere “ADMINISTRATORS” - who majorly RUN THE SHOW in their different fields of expertise while only occasionally MAKING THINGS HAPPEN. Bigger Boys are in the habit of making things happen BACK-TO-BACK. It is what DEFINES THEM!<br />
<br />
Their GLORIFICATION is “OVER THE BAR!” The highly successful footballers, filthy-rich/famous artists, multinational business gurus, and so forth. I would have loved to add TOP POLITICAL JUGGERNAUTS to the list though - if they weren’t mostly infamous for amassing ILL-GOTTEN riches. You will agree with me that the splendor that radiates from the above-mentioned personalities is simply OUT OF THIS WORLD: take other of the world’s top superstars for instance.<br />
<br />
One could be tempted to deem these guys as belonging to the upper-upper class: the BIGGEST BOYS. Luxury mansions everywhere in the world, frequent acquisition of fancifully sophisticated automobiles that sell at mammoth prices, and their aesthetically extravagant lifestyle. But as magnificent as the BIGGER BOY CADRE is, it is not as prestigious as the BIGGEST BOY CADRE. The bigger boys are WEALTHY. But you see the biggest boys? they are EXTREMELY WEALTHY!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE BIGGEST BOYS (UPPER-UPPER CLASS)</b></span><br />
<br />
The biggest boys have more money than they could possibly spend. The same can be said about the bigger boys though. The biggest boys are EXCEPTIONALLY RICH, the same as the bigger boys. These two are actually segments of the UPPER CLASS. Hence, they have quite a lot in common. They live in exclusive neighborhoods, gather at expensive social clubs, and send their children to the finest schools. As might be expected, they also exercise a great deal of influence and power; both nationally and globally. But then, a couple of factors differentiate this SEEMING TWIN.<br />
<br />
Unlike the lower-upper class (bigger boys), the upper‐upper class (biggest boys) is made up of ARISTOCRATIC and HIGH‐SOCIETY families with OLD MONEY (who have been rich for generations). Again, unlike the bigger boys, these extremely wealthy biggest boys live off incomes from their inherited riches. They are the GODS OF THIS WORLD: the ROYALS, the ELITES: the ones who CALL THE SHOTS! This is what the biggest boys are; that the bigger boys ARE NOT!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THE WANNA-BEs</span></b><br />
<br />
Except for those who are born with silver spoons, every other BIG BOY was once a WANNA-BE BIG BOY. It can be ridiculous to see a CARPENTER’S SON laying claims to the HEAVENLY THRONE, proclaiming himself KING OVER ALL and CREATOR of SILVER and GOLD. It is even more ridiculous to see a BASTARD SON OF A WHORE aspiring to rule a nation that considers him ILLEGITIMATE and WORTHLESS. But you know that saying about GOD not being a MAN, right?<br />
<br />
As stated at the start, the earth is filled with wanna-be moneybags who are out to either GET RICH OR DIE TRYING. They do not consider themselves as ESCORTS in the earth. They do not accept second place. Oh yes, these guys may be making a living off menial hustles. But if you could explore their minds for even a second, you’d find that they dwell in luxurious castles and are robed in KINGLY APPARELS; with various subjects at their service (like biblical King Solomon).<br />
<br />
If they were to make public their seemingly PUFFED-UP ASPIRATIONS, you’d tag them “JOKERS.” That’s not strange at all. The GIANT SLAYER (biblical David) was tagged a “JOKER” by his own brothers when he opted to fight Goliath. If you’re familiar with that story, you already know what motivated that IMPOVERISHED BUSH BOY to put his life on the line. The funniest part is that he was just a teenager. But you see, being a dreamer and a visionary is not a function of age. David had been in poverty for so long and sought a way out. He saw an OPPORTUNITY in FIGHTING GOLIATH.<br />
<br />
For those who may not be familiar with the story, there was a REWARD for whoever took down Goliath. The king, Saul, had promised GREAT WEALTH to the man who killed Goliath. He also promised to exempt that man’s family from paying taxes, as well as marry his daughter to the same man. David was not necessarily interested in the girl. He wouldn’t risk his life to marry the only barren woman in the bible who despised him for praising God. His interest was in the riches; and exemption from tax. With God by his side, he took down the giant and became an INSTANT BIG BOY!<br />
<br />
From being a WANNA-BE big boy, he became an instant big boy. But notice the price he had to pay. HE HAD TO TAKE DOWN A GIANT THAT THE STRONGEST MAN IN ISRAEL DREADED. That’s how far a wanna-be could be willing to go; in his quest to acquire riches. You must have also seen those movies where wanna-bes go far as SELLING THEIR SOULS to the devil in EXCHANGE for these same riches. Some offer up the lives of their dearly beloved ones in exchange for riches and glory. Some even offer up their own lives in exchange for a few years of BIG-BOYism. LOL.<br />
<br />
Truth be told, not every WANNA-BE has the guts to pay such prices, especially when it assumes paranormal dimensions like that. Some pitch their tents at the BIG BOY LEVEL and start to preach CONTENTMENT, which is a cool thing to do. But you see those wanna-bes who wouldn’t stop until they mount-up to the BIGGER or BIGGEST BOY level? Those are the ones with guts, with deep appetites for riches and glory; - MVPs in a class of their own. The best part is that they do not CHICKEN OUT on their AMBITIONS. These guys go all the way (like biblical David) - and if they perish, they perish!<br />
<br />
Mounting such financial height could demand more than HARDWORK/STUDYING (as with the big boys). To be among the BIGGEST BOYS, one must first be a BIGGER BOY, which takes SMART WORK/SOFTWORK. But as suggested by books, movies, OVERLOAD INFORMATION, essays, etc., it takes more than that; 89% of the time. This is usually where the TOWING OF SOME OTHER PATH, definitely a SUPERIOR PATH; comes into play. But then again, even these BIGGEST BOYS ARE OF TWO SETS. We have the REAL BIG BOYS, and then we have the OTHER BIG BOYS. Let’s discuss them.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THE REAL BIG BOYS (INSIDE LIFE)</span></b><br />
<br />
Let’s start with a flash into the private side of the REAL BIG BOYS; - what many would like to term “INSIDE LIFE.” Do you recall the story of biblical David highlighted above? It didn’t start with him opting to fight the monstrous giant. It started with him being a BUSH BOY, taking care of his father’s flock, and safeguarding them from predators. The story has it that he killed a bear with his bare hands in an attempt to save the flock. Only God knows how long he was a bushboy before finally seeing the light. It took being a BUSH BOY to set him up to be a big boy; - A REAL BIG BOY.<br />
<br />
Killing a bear to save his father’s flock was the rehearsal he needed to set himself up to kill Goliath, which he did to save God’s flock (Israel). Safeguarding his father’s flock was equally the rehearsal he needed to prepare himself to safeguard the Lord’s flock (Israel). The rehearsal process may have been slow, humiliating, and unpleasant. But all of that is nothing in comparison to the riches and glory that came to him as a reward, not to mention his elevated status as KING. For 40 years he served as a WARRIOR-KING, losing no battle to his foes, most of which were the OTHER BIG BOYS.<br />
<br />
His illegitimate son, having understudied him so well, knew how best to start his reign the moment he took over as king. He had gotten to learn of the efficacy of DIVINE SACRIFICE from his WORSHIPPER OF A FATHER. Almost closely after his father passed away and he assumed the throne of Israel, he gave an order to all the officers in charge of units of a thousand/hundred men, all the government officials, all the heads of families, and everyone else; COMMANDING THEM TO GO WITH HIM TO THE PLACE OF WORSHIP AT GIBEON. They went there because that was where the Tent of the LORD'S PRESENCE was located, which Moses, the LORD's servant, had made in the wilderness.<br />
<br />
Solomon and all the people worshiped the LORD there. He had a thousand animals killed and offered as a sacrifice to God. That very night, God appeared to him and asked; “what would you like me to give you?” Solomon answered; “You always showed great love for my father David, your servant, and he was good, loyal, and honest in his relation with you. And you have continued to show him your great and constant love by giving him a son who today rules in his place. O LORD God, you have let me succeed my father as king, even though I am very young and don't know how to rule. Here I am among the people you have chosen to be your own, a people who are so many that they cannot be counted.”<br />
<br />
“Give me the wisdom I need to rule your people with justice; and to know the difference between good and evil. Otherwise, how would I ever be able to rule these great people of yours?” The bible says God was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. So he said to him; “because you have asked for the wisdom to rule justly, instead of long life for yourself or riches or the death of your enemies, I will do what you have asked. I will give you more wisdom and understanding than anyone has ever had before, or will ever have again. I will also give you what you have not asked for. All your life, you will have wealth and honor, more than that of any other king. And if you obey me and keep my laws and commands; as your father David did, I will give you a long life.” The resultant effect of that encounter was Solomon becoming a BIG BOY: - A REAL BIG BOY! It was this category that DAVID and SOLOMON belonged.<br />
<br />
Those legendary Israeli Kings so happen to be my favorite biblical characters (gets me thinking). That could be why I’m making so much BIG BOY REFERENCES to them, otherwise, there are OTHERS LIKE THEM all through the pages of the scriptures; AND EVEN IN THIS PRESENT WORLD THAT WE LIVE. Time will fail me to dissect their stories. But the factors that define them are pretty much the same with those that define David, Solomon, and those of their time. It is even MORE GLORIOUS these days; all thanks to God for the glory of the LATTER HOUSE. Such are the REAL BIG BOYS!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE REAL BIG BOYS (OUTSIDE LIFE)</b></span><br />
<br />
The above-said about the REAL BIG BOYS has more to do with their PRIVATE AFFAIRS, which aren’t EXACTLY ALIENATED from outsiders. But from a neutral point of view, what’s overly obvious about these real big boys is that they CALL THE SHOTS! They are like GODS IN THE WORLD. Everyone can see them shining like STARS FROM THE EAST. Their names are usually on the lips of many. They control conglomerates. They run different industries worldwide.<br />
<br />
They are the FIRST CLASS CUSTODIANS OF RICHES; the very first class savorers of the GLORY IT AFFORDS. They are the STOREHOUSES OF WEALTH. Some of them have FAMED NAMES. Some do not. The real deal is that they have more riches in their custody than they can ever spend. As we speak, the riches are still FLOWING IN. I do not exactly need to point you to any figure or name any names. Perhaps I would go further to say that these folks are littered all over the world, comprising only 1 to 3 percent of the world’s population, holding more than 25% of the world's wealth.<br />
<br />
Being that they’re littered all over the world, one can see them almost everywhere: social media, television, in the country, states, even in the neighborhood. That doesn’t rule out the fact that they are scarce. That’s why many of them never get to meet over 95% of persons who know them. There are also those of them WHOSE NAMES DON’T RING A BELL. These are what the EYES and EARS SEE and HEAR THEM TO BE; - on a neutral note; A VERY NEUTRAL NOTE!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THE OTHER BIG BOYS (OUTSIDE SIDE)</span></b><br />
<br />
Having read thus far, it’s normal to be consumed with curiosity as to who the OTHER BIG BOYS are - and what makes them so. I wouldn’t want to reiterate on the immediate above-discussed. So I’ll skip to the part where I tell you that THE OTHER BIG BOYS have pretty much everything in common with the REAL BIG BOYS. Hold on one second; did I say EVERYTHING? That’s not exactly true! It is the OUTSIDE LIFE of the REAL BIG BOYS and the OUTSIDE LIFE of the OTHER BIG BOYS that are the same. Their INSIDE LIVES are quite different. The INSIDE LIFE of THE REAL BIG BOYS has been FAIRLY CAPTURED in this piece. The only life that’s LEFT OUT is the INSIDE LIFE of the OTHER BIG BOYS.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE OTHER BIG BOYS (INSIDE LIFE)</b></span><br />
<br />
???<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONCLUSION</b></span><br />
<br />
How then am I able to tell A REAL DIFFERENCE between the REAL BIG BOYS and the OTHER BIG BOYS? If their OUTSIDE LIVES are the same and we only know the INSIDE LIFE of the REAL BIG BOYS, can’t it be possible that the INSIDE LIFE of the OTHER BIG BOYS is also THE SAME with that of the REAL BIG BOYS? Maybe you didn’t get it earlier on when I stated it. So here it is again: I am a wanna-be BIG BOY, a wanna-be BIGGER BOY, a wanna-be BIGGEST BOY, and a wanna-be REAL BIG BOY (INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIVES). I know WHAT I WANT, and I can identify WHAT’S NOT WHAT I WANT. Wanna-be real big boys everywhere will most likely SAY THE SAME THING.<br />
<br />
Another thing they would state plainly is the fact that when it comes to being a REAL BIG BOY, one doesn’t have to SOAR ALL THE WAY UP to the UPPER-UPPER CLASS (THE BIGGEST BOYS). IF ONE’S WAYS ARE IN HARMONY WITH THE WAYS OF THOSE OF THIS WORLD WHO HAVE TAKEN AFTER THE LIKES OF DAVID AND SOLOMON (AND HAVE RECORDED THE SAME RESULTS AS DAVID AND SOLOMON), then such a person is a REAL BIG BOY; be he in the BIG BOY, BIGGER BOY, or BIGGEST BOY category. So CHEER UP! The list wouldn’t be complete without you.<br />
<br />
So, so, so, hasn’t this been A NICE RIDE??!! For the WANNA-BES, I bet you can now categorically tell what classification of big boy you WANNA-BE (that’s if you WANNA-BE a big boy though). For those who have no interest in being a big boy, HOW DO THEY DO IT? LOL. But keep it cool in your quest for RICHES and GLORY. I want to believe you don’t wanna-be the BIG BOY with the QUESTION MARKS. To the PRESENT-DAY REAL BIG BOYS, “we dey watch”: (we are watching).<br />
<br />
I, and THE OTHER GUY, and PERHAPS THE OTHER GUY, are already set to make the list soonest, for “BECAUSE GOD IS FOR US, EVERYTHING IS WORKING FOR OUR GOOD. WE CANNOT BE STRANDED IN THIS LIFE; BECAUSE THE WORD IS WORKING IN US AND FOR US. BY FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE ARE VICTORIOUS, OVER……”<br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></b><b style="font-size: x-large;">ABSTRACT</b><br />
<br />
This ESSAY aims at capturing your possible reality. But before we come to you, let’s briefly survey the story of a 67-year-old man who in the course of his life had submitted 365 job applications without getting employed for once. His 366th attempt paid off, but at age 67. Despite his credentials, super intelligence, skills, gifts, and talents, he couldn’t as much as get a job until he was age 67. He barely survived on menial jobs, moving from one failed business to the other.<br />
<br />
There’s this other one; a 35-year-old virgin, demon-possessed, unable to attract men despite her beauty and virtue. Her situation was bad, so bad that seducers didn’t consider her a good enough victim for their seduction, usage, and rubbishing. I’m talking about a lady with beauty that can sends shivers of insecurity down the nerves of goddesses. Yet, no single man would look her way. Even when she managed to become a wife, becoming a mother was no easy task.<br />
<br />
The good thing about the lady and gentleman above is that they conquered those situations in due course, after they got to learn about the realities of THIS WORLD: the PHYSICAL WORLD (THIS SIDE), and the SPIRITUAL WORLD (THE OTHER SIDE). There’s basically a co-existence of every single individual on BOTH SIDES. But not everyone is aware, arguably. It was the knowledge of this reality that served as a blueprint for them to navigate their ways out of WOES - to BLESSEDNESS. You will get to read their full story later in this ESSAY. For now, let’s return the focus to YOU!<br />
<br />
You have a smooth journey going on THIS SIDE; and on THE OTHER SIDE too, supposedly. You have no idea about the other side. Your consciousness of reality centers on this side alone, very oblivious of the fact that movement on this side occurs simultaneously with movement on the other side. More so, HAPPENINGS on this side are determined by GOINGS on the other side. As it turns out, huge mountain-walls await you at some point on the other side. So, as you journey along, basking in your usual groove on this side, you get to the mountain-walls on the other side. TROUBLE!<br />
<br />
Suddenly, everything on this side comes to a halt: begins to slowly dwindle, depreciating to nothing: whatever that NOTHING might be for you. You notice a sudden stagnancy that doesn’t exactly look like it at that initial stage. But it soon becomes clear and you quickly perceive that something is not right. What then follows is a gradual loss of peace, a gradual loss of joy, of high-spiritedness; all of which afforded you a jolly life – until TROUBLE CAME!<br />
<br />
You are ignorant. You do not know that HAPPENINGS on this side are determined by GOINGS on the other side. Therefore, as you journey along freely and simultaneously on both sides, you get to the huge mountain-walls on the other side and there’s a COLLISION! Suddenly on this side, everything comes to a standstill: a pause, a sudden regression that slowly widens the gap between you and your goals, your pursuits, destiny attainment, EVERYTHING!<br />
<br />
A new form of life introduces itself to you: a mediocre life, a life of pettiness, stagnancy, a merry-go-round, emptiness, nuisance, a life of irrelevance: one you hate to embrace! You try not to embrace it. But it’s no use! The more you try not to, the more you sink into it. It is like a GOOD DREAM that turns into a BLOODY NIGHTMARE! You freak out, and all that is within you starts to run helter-skelter – while you actually remain stuck at one spot irredeemably, OR NOT.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>INTRODUCTION</b></span><br />
<br />
The huge mountain-walls on the other side are a massive limiting force that stamps down progress on this side. Its existence/source is usually unknown. Its discovery depends largely on the measures employed to unravel certain mysteries behind bad situations that plague people on this side. The unraveling process is as taxing as it is demanding. It is onerous, it is worrisome, suppressing, deadening, and so suffocating! Not many people survive it: NO WONDER!<br />
<br />
Those walls are responsible for DISORDERS on this side: ceaseless SUNSHINE in WET SEASONS, constant RAINFALL in DRY SEASONS, replacement of BRIGHT MORNINGS with DARK NIGHTS. Dark nights becoming darker, darker, and darker. Where does one go from here? No more easy-goings, no soft works, no more jolliness. Is this DOOMSDAY? There’s hardship, confusion, desperation, and all manner of negativities that make life one hell of a LIVING HELL!<br />
<br />
All effort to alleviate afflictions on this side caused by the WALLS on the other side mostly proves futile. Instead, it seems to breed more afflictions. Nothing works anymore! Life is sour! In fact, all has come to an end! The next to follow should be death in whatever form it is manifested: spiritual, mental, eventually physical. But NO! there’s this mystifying signal that calls to itself from somewhere, some sort of safe haven: “come to Me; I will give you rest,” it APPEALS.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>YOU</b></span><br />
<br />
You are planted on this side like every other creation. Depending on your allotted FATE, you could either be of a noble or ignoble line. You could have it going easy, you could have it going a little rough. Whatever the case, the good thing is that LIFE IS WORTH LIVING. So you advance from one point in life to the other, flexing your life as much as you can. Whatever you want, you can reach out and get it without difficulty; or just little difficulty that counts for no labor.<br />
<br />
Even if life isn’t smooth for you, it’s not rough enough to knock you down. You still manage to steady things; though with too much energy exerted. You are hopeful for a better tomorrow. It is that hope that gives you the strength to keep going. You push on with a determination to win. Your efforts yield results, though they might be so little to show for your great effort. But half bread is better than none, isn’t it? Of course; yes! until there’s no half bread ANYMORE!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE OTHER SIDE</b></span><br />
<br />
The other side is the ULTIMATE SIDE. It is elusive, subtle, and spooky. It usually finds a way to establish its consciousness in people’s minds, hinting on the reality of its existence. It could be via impressions, dreams, trances, etc. Some people get the hint. Some don’t. Some even consider it a mirage, a myth that is common among fools. The sad truth, however, is that ‘not even such disregard of the existence of the other side; stops it from determining the happenings on this side.’<br />
<br />
It is responsible for the abundance many enjoy on the side, the growth, progress, achievements, etc. It is also responsible for the ADVERSITIES on this side: plagues, ugly circumstances, even death! Short and simple, the other side controls this side. Hence, for anything to occur on this side, it must first of all occur on the other side. So, in a situation where there are walls on the other side to thwart movement over there, automatically, movement on this side is equally thwarted!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE MOUNTAIN-WALLS</b></span><br />
<br />
For whatever reason, due to whatever factor, huge mountain-walls [could] emerge on your path as you journey on the other side. It is usually massive! Horrible! Frightening! 10 times mightier than the walls of Jericho! The mighty walls of Jericho were built to stop armies of nations from invading Jericho. But these massive, horrible, frightening mountain-walls are 10 times mightier; and aren’t built to stop armies of any nation. THEY ARE BUILT TO STOP YOU! Yes, YOU!<br />
<br />
The walls are lined up one after another; with fairly short distances separating one from another. Also, the walls become shorter as its line goes – until the last wall, the shortest of all; and then an open space comes into sight (like it was before the walls surfaced in the first place; like it originally was). There’s then a bright welcoming light – GLORY: your goals, achievements, destiny, everything, which the walls emerged TO KEEP YOU SEPARATED FROM, POSSIBLY.<br />
<br />
The first wall stands high and large with no end to its widths and no sight of its tip. It grows into the cloud, attempting to mask that welcoming light: that GLORY. But little rays of that light somehow manage to beam scantily through the wall, calling strongly to its source. It bears the aura of paradise, a place to be! to be inhabited by whosoever trails the light rays to its source: a seeming HEAVEN. It wants you to track it down, which wasn’t supposed to be a BIG DEAL.<br />
<br />
But somehow, for some reason, there are multiple lined-up mountain-walls right there to stop you from tracking down the light rays to its source; or at least give you a HARD RUN if you’re anything of CONQUEROR. Having collided with the first wall on the other side, life becomes stationary on this side. To move on, you have to get past that first wall. You have no idea how. You don’t even know there’s a second wall, a third, fourth, and so on. You are in for HARD TIMES!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THE FIRST WALL</span></b><br />
<br />
The first wall is the highest, widest, and largest of all the walls. It’s the firmest, strongest, most deeply rooted, DESIGNED TO LET NO ONE GET PAST IT. It is monstrous, devilish, exuding an evil aura from its rough surface. It has thorns littered all over, making it hard to make contact with it. When one gets really close, it becomes like an actual mountain, not just a wall that bears the resemblance of a mountain. There’s seemingly no way through it. DEAD END!<br />
<br />
It is such a gigantic wall, responsible for the truncation of many destinies, the doom of many souls, the tearing apart of many families, the mediocrity of many persons, the destruction of many lives. It is usually a collision with this wall that awakens people’s consciousness to the REALITY OF THE OTHER SIDE. Upon that collision, one certainly needs to GET PAST that wall if he/she MUST AMOUNT TO ANYTHING ON THIS SIDE. But hey, that’s only THE BEGINNING.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>OTHER WALLS</b></span><br />
<br />
Other walls serve as backups: the first is backed up by the second, the second is backed up by the third, and so on. But that doesn’t make them any less limiting! In fact, subsequent walls are designed to usually want to prove their worth by stopping what previous walls could not stop. So, if you manage to get past the first wall, the second is more likely to GIVE YOU A HARD RUN! If you get past the second, the third is more likely there to make sure you GO NO FURTHER!<br />
<br />
If you make it through the third, you still have the fourth to battle with, then the fifth, sixth, and so on. There are no soft spots on these walls for you to break your way through. No openings, no tunnels, no form of linkage of one side of the wall to the other. IT’S A REAL DEAD END. It is even pointless to think about getting past the other walls when it is almost impossible to get past the first. Thankfully, it is only ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get past it, not IMPOSSIBLE!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>YOU (ON THIS SIDE)</b></span><br />
<br />
You know that point in life where it seems like the heavens are closed over you? where nothing seems to be working? where it’s more like “you against the world?” where you feel like a ghost among the living? or buried alive? I’m talking about that point where nothing makes sense anymore; where making a headway becomes a myth to you but very much a reality to everyone else: that point where everything goes anticlockwise and you’re close to GOING NUTS!<br />
<br />
The near-success syndromes, failures, efforts in futility, complications here and there, the reoccurrences, confusion, a thousand problems with no handy solutions, no helper(s), you keep going down with no one to pull you up. You keep on falling, no one can hear you calling. You’re the least favored, unqualified for anything, hardly noticed for good, etc. Desperation sets in; you start to count on the exaggerations of motivational speakers to be your SAVING GRACE!<br />
<br />
You begin to get familiar with phrases like: “winners never quit, and quitters never win.” Or like: “believe in yourself enough to never give up on you!” Or “what you don’t stop will stop you.” There are so many of them. These words have a way of keeping you on your feet as you strive to rise above your current crises. Determination, perseverance, optimism, positive-mindedness, affirmative confessions, etc., become the key components that define your existence.<br />
<br />
All these happen on this side, very visible to observers, most of which can’t exactly fathom the events of your life at that point. Nevertheless, they watch out for what unfolds. You could even be written off on account of the doom that seems to have swallowed you up. What the eye sees when they behold you is a struggler, a failure in the making, a wounded Lazarus that’s only deserving of crumbs from the rich man’s table. What you’ve become is simple: INCONSEQUENTIAL.<br />
<br />
You can blame this on your background, your state, country, and even the world. You can blame people; blame yourself or whatever conceivable factors. Oh yes, blames may tend to lighten you up a bit and all, but it gets nowhere close to ridding you of your demons. You know why? because all measures employed to tackle the problem centers on this side. The disorder on this side is only a CONSEQUENCE of a COLLISION; a terrible collision; on THE OTHER SIDE.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>YOU (ON THE OTHER SIDE)</b></span><br />
<br />
While that is happening on this side, there you are on the other side, face against the infinitely high, wide, mountain-wall (the first). You have no idea what it is and why it is there. All you know is that you’re supposed to be on a journey. You can’t seem to understand how your path crossed the mountain-wall. You can’t even seem to figure out how to get past it. Is it even possible to get past it? How? You are not exactly aware of what is going on. It’s all DREAMY to you.<br />
<br />
Events that pertain to this side are very clear to you. I mean, it’s not hard to tell when you’re fast slipping into a sphere of losers. If this fact seems to elude your realization, many around you will bring it to your notice. But it’s not the same with events that pertain to the other side. You can spend a lifetime without coming to the awareness of GOINGS on the other side, or that it calls the shots for this side. It is this ignorance that at times accounts for the ruin of many souls.<br />
<br />
To be at par with goings on the other side, there has to be a connection between you on this side and you on the other side. That you journey simultaneously on both sides doesn’t imply that there’s absolute harmony between you on both sides. The simultaneous journey is more of a SUPERNATURAL ORDER. Whether or not there’s a connection between you on both sides, you journey on. But you see the connection part? It’s not exactly ORDERED. It is WORKED OUT!<br />
<br />
The means by which this connection is brought about are diverse. Could be the FAST-LANE APPROACH; could be the NARROW PATH APPROACH. Both have their implications, demands, sacrifices, benefits, etc. While one is satisfyingly fast, seemingly easy, and elusively detrimental, the other is considerably slow, somewhat difficult, but detriment-free. Depending on what rocks your boat, you could embrace any of these means to aid a connection between you on this side and you on the other side. Only then can you stand a chance with the mountain-walls: YOUR ADVERSITY!<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>ADVERSITY</b></span><br />
<br />
“Life is full of ups and downs”, so they say. You are at a point where you have rephrased that statement thus: “life is full of downs and downs.” This is clearly beyond you. If you must GO FURTHER, you most certainly need the aiding of a HIGHER POWER: a power that connects you on both sides, AFFORDING YOU ON THIS SIDE AN INSIGHT INTO GOINGS ON THE OTHER SIDE that account for your distressing experiences on this side. A HEADWAY AT LAST?<br />
<br />
Imagine a nightmare of you, aimlessly searching for a possible path through high monstrous walls, endless in length and breadth? That’s you on this side connecting with you on the other side; catching a glimpse of the root of the prevailing issues on this side. Little by little, you become more aware of your situation, you get a full picture of the problem: that things are quite bad, much worse than you thought they were. Far WORSE. In fact, the WORST OF ALL!<br />
<br />
With the aid of higher powers, you become more enlightened, gaining valuable knowledge of the other side and your reality therein: its blessedness and your chances to share in that blessedness, its damnations and your vulnerability to it. Its wealth, riches, glory, etc., all of which you stand a great chance with. Then its pit holes, counter-forces, and several anguishes, all of which you are vulnerable to. In the event of adversities, it’s only a case of ANGUISHES – LIKE YOURS.<br />
<br />
As your enlightenment process continues, you learn how to maneuver along successfully: how to face the terror that comes by night, or the arrows that fly by day, or the mountain-walls! You learn how to create cracks on the walls with mere words, acts, etc., how to meander through the thorns by following a BLUEPRINT of that realm, which ultimately compromises the wall, eventually resulting in its total collapse. YOU SEE HOW ENLIGHTENED YOU HAVE BECOME?<br />
<br />
But make no mistake to think it’s an “easy come easy go” affair where you just connect to the you on the other side and simply take down devilish walls of such magnitude. Depending on the gravity of your allotted appointment on this side, it could take much or less learning, much or less seeking, much or less digging, perseverance, consistency, and much or less of everything that doesn’t come cheap! (though very much within reach; all thanks to HIGHER POWER).<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE HIGHER POWER</b></span><br />
<br />
Though the 5th century Greeks did not regard the gods as all-powerful, they did believe that the gods would protect them and reveal the future. As a result, annual festivals were held in Greek cities to honor those gods. That was an acknowledgment of the supremacy of higher powers. All over the world, different faiths have emerged, their sole aim being to bridge the gap between you and the higher powers, between you on this side and you on the other side.<br />
<br />
Different diabolical means have also emerged to supposedly serve the same purpose. When the events of your life lead you to seek aid from a higher power, it beholds on you to cling onto one of these FAITHS or MEANS. Your choice here could depend on how informed you are (even in your ignorance), your exposure, association, and circumstances; whether unforeseen or preordained. This is usually a crossroad: you either climb up the ladder or go down the drain.<br />
<br />
Adversities stare you right in the face! The clock is ticking! You’re RUNNING LATE IN LIFE! There’s no time for frivolities, religiosity, lackadaisicalness, and dulling. “If you’re going to shoot, shoot! don’t talk!” And “whatever is worth doing; is worth doing well.” Going for the kill is worth doing. It is your lot on earth. But the mountain-walls wouldn’t let you; except you’re aided by a higher power, a potent One, with track records: capable of melting mountains like wax, dividing seas, cutting bars of iron in asunder! etc. You know powers like that? Or would you have me point you to one?<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>DEFEAT</b></span><br />
<br />
The sad part is that many people monkey around, sitting on the fence, neither here nor there. Such an approach only keeps the you on this side perpetually alienated to the you on the other side. On this side, you suffer for what you can’t explain. On the other side, you wander about aimlessly. Mere determination can’t seem to pave a path for you. You go back and forth, tossed here and there, no headway. It gets tiring. At a point, you THROW IN THE TOWEL. It is finished!<br />
<br />
You accept mediocrity, pettiness, last place, and all forms of SMALLNESS. You become an object of ridicule, to only serve as a lesson to others. Meanwhile, on the other side, you have conceded to the wall, wandering aimlessly about it and eventually pitching a tent right there before it. You have been conquered by the wall, conquered by whatever factors birthed the walls, conquered by WHOEVER may have been responsible for the walls; be it enemies, haters, “village people”, family, friends, the devil himself, or EVEN YOU! Lol. You really didn’t think it could be YOU?<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>VICTORY</b></span><br />
<br />
Depending on what FAITH or MEANS you employ to tackle your adversity, total victory (or what looks like victory) could be secured. TOTAL VICTORY is when you break through the first wall, break through the second wall, and keep breaking through subsequent walls until you get to the source of those light rays that beamed across the first wall, calling strongly to its source. Finally tracking it down only means you made it across the walls, aided by a higher power.<br />
<br />
On the flip side, WHAT LOOKS LIKE VICTORY is not TOTAL VICTORY. It is a TEMPORARY VICTORY. Perhaps you had employed a WEAK MEANS to tackle your adversity; so you get a HALF BAKED VICTORY. You will still have to give it another shot if you’re aiming for TOTAL VICTORY. That’s a merry-go-round; if you ask me. Why not go for the big kill at once? I don’t know how rich you are in knowledge of higher powers and their potency. But here’s one I know: JESUS!<br />
<br />
Remember the WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD in the bible? On THIS SIDE, she was doomed health-wise. On THE OTHER SIDE, one can’t really tell what occurred; perhaps MOUNTAIN-WALLS she couldn’t get through. But having somehow learned of the REALITY OF THE OTHER SIDE (and her possible reality therein), most certainly from her hearings about this JESUS and His doings/sayings, she took bold steps towards employing that higher power to combat her adversity. Hers was a case of “instant turnaround” as you already know. Now, that’s HIGHER POWER!<br />
<br />
You know about JOSEPH, son of JACOB, who was gifted a coat of MANY COLORS by his dad – a thing that didn’t go down well with his brothers. The lad connected with the HIM ON THE OTHER SIDE early enough to sight his DESTINED GLORY. But his own brothers became MOUNTAIN-WALLS on his way. He was stuck for thirteen years, keeping in contact with the “him on the other side,” by staying in touch with this higher power, this JESUS, this GOD! Things turned around after thirteen years of strong adversity, and the victory he secured STILL BEAMS OF GLORY TILL THIS DAY.<br />
<br />
Jesus Himself, when it seemed like mankind had lost out on how to secure total victory over their ultimate adversity (the devil), also faced adversity in his bid to afford mankind that victory. That victory could only come by Him: a higher power: THE HIGHEST POWER. Even his own adversity; THE HIGHEST ADVERSITY, couldn’t stop Him because the existence of the so-called “highest adversity” depends on this Jesus: this highest power. How strong is your adversity?<br />
<br />
Remember the man at the beginning of this essay who couldn’t get a job after submitting 365 applications? Also remember the 35-year-old demon possessed lady who couldn’t attract men despite her beauty? If not for this JESUS, that would have been their doom. As promised, here’s a brief elaboration of their story: HOW THEY CONQUERED.<br />
<br />
After years of back-and-forth, they came to the consciousness of THE OTHER SIDE, how it is responsible for their calamity on THIS SIDE. They sought more enlightenment about such things and got to learn of how “the kingdom of God suffereth violence, and how the violent takes it by force.” So they launched into WARFARE! To be rest assured of victory, they sought the aid of a higher power, the highest power: Jesus. That’s how they stood a chance with victory.<br />
<br />
As they engaged warfare on this side, several pictures can be painted of what may have happened on the other side. It could be that they were determinedly throwing hard fearless punches at the walls, breaking their way through, one after another. They could have opted to climb over the walls one after the other. It could have been anything at all. But you know what was overly obvious? It was THEIR ACTIVITIES ON THIS SIDE: lengthy prayers, fasting, sacrifices, commitment to the higher power, commitment to the course of that power: FAITH, etc. At the end, they came out victorious, with VALID STORIES TO TELL. Stories that touch the heart, stories that uplift the soul, that enlighten, edify.<br />
<br />
So, as you also draw strength from this power, you gather the right weapons with which to crack down the monstrous walls. You load up your rifle in readiness to take headshots at it. You OBSERVE THE WAYS, NORMS, and COURSES of this highest power, thus getting its FULL BACKING. Then it’s only a matter of time before the walls come crashing like humpty-dumpty until the glory comes into sight. The process may have been more like A LONG WALK TO FREEDOM. It may also have been otherwise. But does that really matter? It’s freedom at last, glory, victory, TOTAL VICTORY.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">CONCLUSION</span></b><br />
<br />
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed but abides forever. They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint; their paths are as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day. Keep that in mind. And in your days of adversity, remember that weeping may endure for a night; but joy comes in the morning. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.<br />
<br />
All you need do is keep pressing, press hard. I trust that by now you already know what role the higher power plays in all this; so I need not reiterate on this whole ESSAY. The IMAGERY herein may relatively reflect your immediate reality on THIS SIDE, as well as give you ideas of what could be your immediate reality on the OTHER SIDE. Whatever angle it approaches you from, the point is that IT CALLS YOUR ATTENTION TO SOMETHING; something serious, something you might want to GIVE ATTENTION TO. On the flip side, this may only have been a GOOD READ. Good all the same.<br />
<br />
But if you find anything about this imagery relative, this piece may just have just been a ROADMAP for you! You never can tell. Aristotle would have you understand that “ALL MEN BY NATURE DESIRE TO KNOW.” Channel your natural QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE in this direction too. See what you can dig up. I mean, I may only have succeeded in scratching the surface here. You never know what your findings might be. ENOUGH SAID!<br />
<br />
I, therefore, draw the curtains on this note: the BAD SITUATIONS you find yourself in life may not necessarily be intended for your suffering; as you may like to think sometimes. It could be that you're being afforded a story to tell, a lesson to teach, a sermon to preach, etc. Rather than just being told/taught/given that story/lesson/sermon to relay to the world (whatever that world might be for you), you're made to go through it firsthand: a FIRST CLASS experience.<br />
<br />
That EXPERIENCE counts for the DEPTH that'll someday hold the world SPELLBOUND to your ideas, works, creations, etc. Cherish that experience: you'll have to give account of it someday, whether to a big audience or just a small circle. That account has to be RICH, DEEP, RELATABLE enough, etc., to cheer, edify, and strengthen others that may at the time be plagued with BAD SITUATIONS. That ACCOUNT has to be HELPFUL, an account like this one: MY ACCOUNT.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>It is very common in today’s world to still find one’s self attached to an ex-lover long after the feelings of love is dead. It is one thing to fall in love; it is another thing to stay in love. It is yet another thing to fall out of love when things probably don’t work out as envisioned. While falling in love is easy, staying in love is certainly not a walkover. But the hardest part is falling out of love. Many people find themselves stuck to someone they don’t love anymore, and they can’t seem to understand why. Well, this article will tell you why; and point you in the direction of what to do.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>1. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN: </i></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">One reason why you find it hard to walk away from an affair you no longer derive pleasure from is the sheer fear of the unknown. A popular saying holds that “the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know.” So you find yourself not desiring him anymore but can’t walk away because you are unsure what events the unknown has in store for you. But then, many who have such fears end up falling prey to them. Today’s decision should never be influenced by fear of the unknown. What is worth doing is worth doing well, your fears notwithstanding. Therefore, if love so fades in your affair to the point where you can’t endure it anymore, simply walk away. The unknown will take care of itself.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>2. YOU STILL CARE ABOUT HIS FEELINGS: </i></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Another tricky reason you can’t just walk away from him even after your love for him is gone is that you care about his feelings. As humans with a good conscience, we often sit to consider the effect of our actions and decisions on others. When a woman finds herself in this position, it becomes difficult for her to walk away. While this may be a testament to a woman’s humaneness, it will only keep her glued to an undesirable spot for so long. Have it at the back of your head that in life, you can’t please everyone all the time. It is good to care about people’s feelings. But you know what’s better than other people’s feelings? The answer is simply: YOUR OWN FEELINGS.</i><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">3. LACK OF SELF-CONFIDENCE (IMMATURITY): </i><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">It appears like some women call it quits with a man for the fun of it, after which they come running back into the affair. This is common in women with low self-esteem as well as immature and unstable women. It is not strange to see women get jealous of seeing a man they had dumped going out with another woman. Sometimes they take shots at the other woman in a bid to scare the women away and take back the man they had left. Such actions are inspired by feelings of insecurity and plain immaturity, and the cure is enlightenment, such as afforded by this article.</i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>4. MATERIAL BENEFITS: </i></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Whenever material benefit is mentioned, what comes to mind is the hilarious saying that “money makes even the ugliest of men to become sexually appealing.” The truth is that not everyone is in a relationship on account of love and genuine feelings of romance. Many women are in an affair for what they can get from the man. This is why it becomes hard to walk away from a man even after the little love you had for him has vanished. Since love can’t pay bills, it is better to stick around and reap the benefits, even if at the expense of your happiness. The cure is simply: shun GREED!</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>5. SEX BENEFITS: </i></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">In a world where many women are obsessed with big dicks and good sex, it is hard to let go of a man who is heavily endowed, much less if he’s good in bed too. Not knowing if her next catch will be capable of affording her the desired sexual satisfaction, a woman would rather stick around a sex freak she doesn’t love anymore until she finds another sex freak who she actually loves. In other cases, she may move on to another man (who she may actually love). But then, she somehow finds herself creeping back to an ex-lover who has seemingly mastered the art of good sex. </i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>6. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS: </i></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Many people who profess love do not actually know what love is. Love is more than a feeling. Love is a deliberate, mindful, sacrificial, endless action. Since many people only know love to be all about emotional sensations, they tend to confusingly go back and forth; as tossed by their wavering emotions. Whenever they think they are in love, they stick around. When it seems like the feeling is fading, they runoff. If after running off, the emotions catch up with them again, they come running back again. They simply don’t know what love is, so it hampers their emotional stability.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>7. FEAR OF PUBLIC OPINIONS: </i></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">This is common with folks who have been acclaimed to be lovers in the order of Romeo and Juliet. But hey, the story of Romeo and Juliet didn’t really have a happy ending, did it? So, it doesn’t matter who doesn’t get a clear picture of why you’re walking away, you don’t have to stick with an undesired man in an effort to pacify an uncaring public. You have the final say over your life. So you can’t afford to monkey around and let the public call the shots for you!</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>8. EITHER YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR WORTH/VALUE OR YOU TOTALLY LACK THEM: </i></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Your YES should be YES and your NO should be NO. Losing love and affection for a man without being able to walk away from him is a clear indication that you don’t know your worth and value. It could also imply that you lack worth and value, ultimately. The way around this is to get to know your worth and value. That way, you get to filter the men you allow into your life; one of which should be the one you will never lose love and affection for.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>So that’s it, guys! The inability to fall out of love accounts for the many emotional traumas that plagues mankind today. It is the reason for emotional damages here and there. So, while delightfully falling in love and doing your bid to stay in love, keep in mind that a time might come when you may have to fall out of love. In times like that (if it ever comes), refer to this article and receive the boost you need to walk away, especially if the affair is no good any longer.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The world will agree with me that anger has been the bane of many promising affairs, marriages, etc. I mean, after a series of lovey-dovey moments shared with a significant other, the one thing that could step in and ruin everything is that monster called “anger”. A lot of ex-couples owe their divorces to anger. The case is no different with ex-lovers who could not simply cut down on their ego but rather let anger tear them apart.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The sad part of the whole anger brouhaha is that the people plagued with anger issues can hardly tell that they are, as their anger-based actions and decisions always seem to them like the “way to go.” Even when reality hits them after a detrimental anger-based action or decision, they still cannot bring themselves to drop the habit. It becomes more like a strong virus that cannot be removed by even the most renowned antivirus programs. But I’ve got good news for you!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Just as the saying goes that “a problem known is half solved,” the case is no different with anger. In solving anger issues, the first step to take is to acknowledge that you’ve got anger issues, and you are 50% down the path of getting rid of that monster! In this piece, I will be pointing out seven ways to determine whether or not you have anger issues, and then I will go further to point out seven ways in which anger issues can be gotten rid of. Let us begin!</i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH IN A DAY: It is possible to spend 24 hours without falling out with someone. However, as easy as that may seem, it is nothing but a myth to many people walking the earth. If you discover that you easily fall out with others, there’s a high possibility that you have anger issues. For instance, if on a scale of 1 – 10 you go above average, chances are: you do have it.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH THE SAME PERSON IN A DAY: Another way to dictate anger issues lies in the number of times you fall out with one person in a day. Whether at work, school, or home, do you notice you clash with certain folks more than once, twice, or even thrice in a day? If yes, you’ve got anger issues.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>YOU ALWAYS FEEL YOU ARE RIGHT IN YOUR OPINION ALL THE TIME AND GET PISSED IF PEOPLE GO CONTRARY TO YOUR OPINION: This one is super common. Certain folks can’t even stand the voicing of another person’s opinion, as they deem themselves Mr. or Mrs. right at all times. Anything contrary to their ideas and opinion gets them boiling and eventually exploding. The reason is simple: ANGER!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>WHAT IS THE COMPLAINT RATE? DO PEOPLE COMPLAIN OFTEN ABOUT YOUR TEMPERAMENT? It is said that “how we view ourselves is of little consequence. But then, how others perceive us is important. If people who perceive you from afar have had a few ill things to say about your temperament, chances are that you have anger issues. Even the bible says that “from the mouth of two to three witnesses, a matter is established.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>WHAT IS THE USUAL RESULT FROM ISSUES YOU HAVE WITH PEOPLE? DOES IT TEAR OR BUILD THEM UP? One sure thing about anger is that it produces nothing healthy. Therefore, if your issues with people always end up tearing them down rather than build them up (even when you think you are right), you indeed have anger issues.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>6.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>DO YOU TRY TO CORRECT EVERYONE ALL THE TIME? Those who act this way usually have an inflated idea of self-importance. They can simply be called “proud.” But doesn’t pride breed anger and vice versa?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>7.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>DO YOU FEEL BAD OR REGRET YOUR ACTIONS AFTER YOU HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH PEOPLE? This is a quite common and very familiar experience in the world of people who get angry often. If you find yourself in this position often, it simply shows that the causes of the issues you had with those people were not consequent upon rational thinking. Rather, they were based on irrational thinking, triggered by anger.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Having surveyed those seven ways of dictating anger issues, let’s now examine seven practical ways to solve anger issues once and for all. They include:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>ADMIT YOU HAVE IT: As earlier said; “a problem known is half solved. Therefore, in solving anger problems, the first thing you must do is to admit that you have anger problems.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>DECIDE TO BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND HAPPINESS TO OTHERS: True success doesn’t like in the amount of wealth one amasses in his or her lifetime, or the number of trips one embarks on, or the luxury one enjoys. Rather, it lies in the number of lives on touches before kissing life goodbye. In trying to leave behind such a legacy, you ultimately weaken the hormones that trigger anger until anger ends up becoming a myth in your life.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>IN THE EVENT OF ISSUES, STAY CALM: The effectiveness of staying calm under pressure cannot be overemphasized. Hence, by simply staying calm in the event of issues, you ultimately suspend anger.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>REFUSE TO SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE OR ABUSIVE TO WHOEVER IS INVOLVED: The tongue may be a double-edged sword. However, it is not without control. Therefore, watching your tongue to see that it doesn’t spill out negative energy (such that you wouldn’t appreciate it if spilled on you), will ultimately suppress anger.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>DON'T BE REACTIVE: It is common with humans to react to a stimulus. But then, in dealing with anger issues, you should discipline yourself enough to not react to any anger-breeding stimulus.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>6.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>BE PROACTIVE: What makes a man is his ability to control every situation around him. Therefore, endeavor to be proactive enough to control situations by causing something to happen rather than waiting to respond to something after it happens. That way, you cause joy and the likes to happen; and never anger.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>7.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>CULTIVATE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING: Every affair of life comes from the mind. Once you win the battle of the mind, you win the battle of life. Cultivating the power of positive thinking is just a summary of it all. Think love, think joy, and most especially, THINK PEACE!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>So, so, so, there you have it! There are no doubts that with this piece of awareness, the reign of anger has in the lives of many of its sufferers has seen an end. If there is more you would like to know about this topic or you have a question you would like to ask, kindly air them out in the comment box. I’m here for you!</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8JaxOtz0IhBg45SoKe-4v2x2EMB-fZcLnnyQkELR_ZeNpWBEeozHl_5A2ir3H-xDv6lqDXTjm3yULGr-SRr3k7M6tWj7KYwscAo2aMjCT-KOTGMA6UkYCn10YTVm-hfdwuRRu7Q3Gmy-/s1600/Working-With-Your-Spouse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="848" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8JaxOtz0IhBg45SoKe-4v2x2EMB-fZcLnnyQkELR_ZeNpWBEeozHl_5A2ir3H-xDv6lqDXTjm3yULGr-SRr3k7M6tWj7KYwscAo2aMjCT-KOTGMA6UkYCn10YTVm-hfdwuRRu7Q3Gmy-/s400/Working-With-Your-Spouse.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
In today’s world, success is not optional. Everyone with a working mind wants to succeed. That is why we have different people doing different things to achieve success. Some think that going to school and graduating with good grades is the key to securing a good job and becoming financially stable (successful). Others learn different trades, maximize their gifts and talents, delve into one business or the other, and some even get their hands dirty to achieve success.<br />
<br />
Since success is more like the only way to go, not so many people want to have any strings attached to failures. Actually, nothing is attractive about a failure. So it is understandable if everyone wants to identify with successful people only. But in a bid to not be “unequally yoked together with failures,” many have skipped noticing potentially successful people because the appearance of such people bear no resemblance to who they can potentially become.<br />
<br />
If you have noticed, a common factor in the success stories of successful people usually holds that “no one believed in them in their down and lowly times.” But there have also been the accounts of those who mentioned how certain people or a particular person spotted the potential in them and invested in them until they amounted to the successful persons they eventually became. But such accounts are rare, as it is usually the other way round 90% of the time.<br />
<br />
This scenario is quite rampant in the world of romance. Not many women are interested in men who aren’t successful, and not many women can readily spot a potentially successful man. This is why we have a lot of broke guys finding it hard to get a girl for themselves and a lot of successful guys with different ladies at their beck and call. But it’s high time ladies understood that no guy was born successful. They all were once broke and only worked out their success.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
There is an exception to those who were born with a silver spoon though. Certainly, not all ladies will be lucky to land themselves a successful guy, whether the one who inherited the success or the other who worked it out. But you know what? Ladies can always get down with potentially successful guys and be rest assured of a better tomorrow as was the case with Michel Obama. But then, doing this requires the ability to identify a successful man when he’s in range.<br />
<br />
As you know, many men have taken advantage of this to jilt ladies who don’t deserve such treatment. That is why it is of the essence to learn how to identify truly potentially successful men before opening up to them, hence the purpose of this article. So, here are some ways to know whether your husband-to-be, fiancé, or boyfriend will succeed in life.<br />
<br />
<b>1. DOES HE HAVE A WRITTEN DOWN LIFE PLAN?</b> Living without a vision is like traveling without a destination. It is usually said that “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Therefore, if he lacks a written down life plan, he’s a failure in the making. Let him be. But if his vision is made plain on paper, ride with him! He’ll prove to be your “ride or die.” In the long run, he will not only have a written down plan of his life alone. He will have yours too!<br />
<br />
<b>2. WHAT DOES HE DO WITH HIS TIME?</b> What a man does with his time determines what he will get out of life. One of life’s general principle is that of “sowing and reaping” which holds that “a man reaps what he sows.” If you notice that the kinds of seeds he spends his time sowing are bound to yield an undesirable harvest, he’s a no-no. But if he invests his time wisely on good ventures, open up to him! You’re one of those good ventures he’s wisely investing his time in!<br />
<br />
<b>3. WHAT DOES HE DO WITH HIS MONEY?</b> A man who cannot manage his money well cannot manage his own life, not to mention managing the life of another, much less that of a woman. If he’s got poor managerial skills when it comes to money, be rest assured that he lacks financial intelligence and can’t possibly have emotional intelligence. If not, success is just around the corner, and you can play a major role in facilitating the achievement of that success.<br />
<br />
<b>4. DOES HE TALK ABOUT BRIGHT FUTURE? AND, ARE HIS ACTIONS CONSISTENT WITH HIS WORDS?</b> Even the bible says that “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Therefore, what proceeds out of a man’s mouth is not to be taken for granted. If he’s not futuristic in his words and approach towards life, he’s a failure in the making.<br />
<br />
<b>5. DOES HE CARE ABOUT PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT?</b> If he’s open to more learning and new things, perhaps has a library, then he’s out to achieve success. Like they say, “readers and leaders.” But can you guess what non-readers are?<br />
<br />
<b>6. WHAT IS HIS PERSONALITY LIKE?</b> Ask yourself the following questions: is he a man of integrity in terms of doing what he says? Does he have self-respect? Is he self-controlled enough not to go about sleeping around with women? How is his attitude towards other people? Who are his close friends? How positive are those friends? And what influence do they have on him? These are questions to which feedback must be positive if he’s headed towards success.<br />
<br />
<b>7. DOES HE CARE ABOUT HIS HEALTH BY AVOIDING THINGS THAT WILL CAUSE HIM SICKNESS?</b> Health is wealth. A man who plays down on health plays down on wealth. A man who doesn’t; is wealthy already.<br />
<br />
<b>8. HOW HARD WORKING, CONSISTENT, AND DILIGENT IS HE?</b> Hard work, consistency, and diligence are key ingredients of success. Shortage of them is directly proportional to impending failure!<br />
<br />
<b>9. IS HE AWARE OF THE LEADERSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES BESTOWED UPON HIM AS THE HEAD?</b> It takes a man with great leadership skills to pilot the affairs of a romantic union, and a man has to be aware of his leadership role in this regard. Sadly, not all men do. If he does, very good! If he doesn’t, well, very bad!<br />
<br />
<b>10. WHO IS HIS MENTOR IF HE HAS ONE?</b> If he has a mentor, examine the life of his mentor to see if it is worth emulating. If he doesn’t have a mentor, why doesn’t he? Every successful man needs someone ahead to lead him through the corridors of success. A man without a mentor is like a sheep without a shepherd. So, does he have a mentor? And who is that mentor?<br />
<br />
If your answers tilt more towards the negative, you mustn’t necessarily walk away if he’s good for keeps. His shortcomings could be an indication of the work to be done on him, and you gotta be ready. Of course, nobody was born perfect. We all became who we are by learning to grow. So, if he is willing to do what it takes to get on the success ladder, stick around and be a part of his success story. If he’s obviously not, kick him out through the window!</div>

<i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It is more important to desire to be a good spouse than to desire to marry a good spouse. If you only desire to marry a good spouse without making effort to be a good spouse yourself, you might end up meeting a good spouse who doesn’t consider you good enough for him or her. So, as you seek a worthy spouse for yourself, also be a worthy spouse.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Nobody wishes to marry a loser who has nothing to offer. But rather than being so mindful not to marry a ‘loser who has nothing to offer’, be more concerned about not being a ‘loser who has nothing to offer’. Likeminded people will always attract each other, & whatever you give out will always return to you. Be a version of who you wish to marry!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Gone are the days when people married beauty & fine looks. Everyone now wants peace & will only marry someone who can afford them that peace. But rather than being so concerned about marrying someone who can afford you peace, work hard to be a carrier of that peace & you’ll attract a peace carrier. Be a version of who you wish to marry!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>If you want someone to accept you as you are, don’t be picky. You can’t desire a tall, fine god or goddess & expect them to take you as you are. They have standards too. If they meet your standards, meet theirs too. If you aren’t ready to meet anyone’s standards, don’t expect anyone to meet your standards. Be a version of who you wish to marry!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>If you desire people with good habits, cultivate good habits yourself. If you want a faithful spouse, be faithful. If you don’t want to marry a cheat, don’t be a cheat. If you want the truth, be truthful. If you wouldn’t like to be deceived into marrying someone you wouldn’t ordinarily marry, don’t try to deceive anyone into marrying you.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Quit playing mind games. It is an unattractive trait. It is why relationships fail. Many want to be players, to be in control, to eat their cakes & have it back, to play the other for a fool. If you play someone for a fool, get ready to be played for a fool, cuz that thing they say about Karma is a legit saying. Just be a version of who you wish to marry!</i></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even in the midst of a multitude, John the Baptist could still sense the presence of Jesus. On several occasions, he had told the crowd that always came flocking to him about the messiah, saying He’s among them and is indeed one of them. But up until this moment, many still doubt the existence of Jesus, even after all His manifestations, both before and after His ascension. However, long before Jesus’ first miracle, John was already aware of his almightiness.<br />
<br />
Jesus himself confirmed John’s words time and again, declaring Himself the son of God. But not even John’s prediction and Jesus’ confirmation could bring everyone to the acknowledgement of Him as the son of God: not even the signs He showed, the wonders He performed, the unheard words He preached, and His exemplary lifestyle could make the people view Him as any more than a carpenter’s son. Yet, there were those who were totally convinced about Him.<br />
<br />
The likes of Peter and the other apostles could not have mistaken the son of God for anyone else. When Jesus called on His apostles to follow Him, they obliged at once. There was just something about Jesus that appealed to them and made them consider Him worth leaving everything for. Jesus, on the other hand, did not go about calling just anyone to be His apostle. He knew that the task he had for them was only fitting for those with a tendency to draw from him.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
At some point in His walk with the apostles, Jesus questioned Peter over who people said He was. As it turned out, He was many things to different people. Some said Elijah, some said Jeremiah, some said He’s just one of the prophets, and some even said He’s John the Baptist. But when Jesus looked Peter in the eye and asked who he (Peter) thought He (Jesus) was, Peter, in total conviction, said; “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”<br />
<br />
That response from Peter prompted Jesus to make this very valuable statement: “flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father who is in heaven.” The truth is that you will be so many things to so many people: perhaps a meal ticket, a pleasure tool, an alternative, a trophy husband or wife, an errand runner, a last resort, and even a teddy bear to just play around with and cast away. But for every Jesus, there’s bound to be twelve apostles.<br />
<br />
Jesus never tried too hard to court the attention of the people. He most lovingly presented the gospel to them and left them with the choice to either accept or reject it. At the end of the day, He carried out his mission on earth and returned to heaven, leaving behind eleven fortified apostles to create impact with the gospel he brought to the earth. No one can say they’re disappointed with the works of the apostles after Jesus left them to continue where He stopped.<br />
<br />
But imagine if Jesus had yielded to pressure by trying to fit in and blend in, all in an effort to get along with the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the others as they wanted him to. There would still be no hope for humanity. By stepping into the world and uncompromisingly being God in human form, he attracted just the right sets of people to himself. Actually, He attracted all manner of people to himself. But only the right ones stuck to Him through thick and thin.<br />
<br />
They were able to do so because they had some degree of depth in them that was able to pick the signal of Jesus’ depth. Consequently, they became His best companions. Sometimes, you come across to certain people as alien. At other times, certain people come across to you as alien. There could be nothing strange about that. I think the strangest event in history is that of a man referring to Himself as the son of God. He must have been so alien to the people!<br />
<br />
But did that stand in the way of Him fulfilling his life’s purpose? No, it didn’t. So, it doesn’t really matter who’s not getting a clear picture of things or who’s misinterpreting things to suit their own purposes. It doesn’t matter who or what is trying to program you into a conditioned living on account of anything, even the worst situations of life. Your goal must never change, your values must never drop, and there must be no room for unhealthy compromises.<br />
<br />
Mind you, this is no license to groom an overbearing pride that’s usually demonstrated via a superior manner toward others. This is no license to recklessness or a downplay on needful character adjustments. This is just an urge to be who you know you’re meant to be without concessions. It may seem like you’re missing out on it all. But then, what’s yours will come as at when due; and who’s yours will show up in due season. No need for any desperation whatsoever! At the end of the day, DEEP WILL ALWAYS CALL UNTO DEEP. All you need do is to KEEP HOPE ALIVE.<br />

She did a good job putting her husband through hell for years in the name of EQUALITY. Her emotional instability got her caught between the options of staying in her one-year-old marriage or filing for a divorce for no concrete reason. She even regretted having a child.

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>-----</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“I knew I was a career-driven woman! I knew I wasn’t all that excited about getting married. I knew children weren’t my favorite thing on earth. But building a career that I wanted seemed to take too long and I was impatient. I wasn’t going to get married. Then I met MY HUSBAND and fell in love. This was the first time in my life I was liking a man who liked me more than I liked him. I generally go for unavailable men, men who aren’t sure of me, etc.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“If a man loves me too much, he’s not challenging and so I didn’t want him. I got married and immediately wanted a child because that’s the natural progression, isn’t it? I had my baby and almost immediately regretted it. Actually, I started regretting it from the time I got pregnant. It was as if I temporarily lost my marbles. Regardless, I made the decision. This was not an unplanned pregnancy. I wanted the child. I did everything I could to get the child.”</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“I finally had him and was going to be the very best mother I could for the child who didn’t beg me to have him. As for my marriage, I love my husband like kilode. But I’d be the first to tell you he’s the one holding the marriage down. If my husband hadn’t been stubbornly refusing to let go, our marriage would have ended a long time ago. I am flighty! Do me small thing and I’m ready to leave. But the man held on, like: YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”</i></span><br />

At 30, it was like I snapped out of my temporary foolishness and said: FLORIDA, THIS IS NOT THE LIFE YOU WANTED FOR YOURSELF. THIS LIFE OF BEING KNOWN MOSTLY AS SOMEONE’S WIFE AND SOMEONE’S MOTHER. I started applying to UK universities for masters without a word to my husband. I got admitted, saved up the 10k euros tuition money.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“I told my husband that I’m leaving for the UK for this masters whether he liked it or not! What followed was months of fights. He wanted us to be talking about having another child, not masters! I said: THUNDER FIRE YOU! I already felt shackled enough with one and he wanted to add to it? This man threatened me that it’s either we have another child or we forget having another child entirely. I was like: SEE CHRISTMAS PRESENT! WE ARE GETTING IT. WE ARE SO FORGETTING IT.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“If I had been thinking properly, I wouldn’t have had one child, not to mention two! I went to the UK. My husband thought I’d refuse to come back but I did. However, when I started talking about Ph.D., he started nonsense again. He was like: WHAT ABOUT THE FAMILY? I was like: EHEN? WHAT ABOUT IT? WHAT ABOUT ME? I started looking into divorce proceedings. I felt I would always meet resistance from this man every time I do something for the sake of pursuing a career and what kind of life is that?”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“That wasn’t the marriage I wanted. So it was better I end it. My mom panicked. She was like: BUT THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR HUSBAND NA! HE’S PERFECT. HE’S NOTHING LIKE YOUR FATHER, JUST LIKE I PRAYED FOR. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? I was heartbroken, I’ll say. I still loved him very much. I had never stopped. But I didn’t want to keep fighting with him because this is who I am. I don’t take my identity from being a wife and mother. Those are my jara!”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“I will choose the latter any god damn day! I remember one day; I was crying on the phone with my husband. I was like: I’M SORRY I’M NOT THE KIND OF WIFE YOU WANTED; THE WIFE CONTENT WITH AN UNCHALLENGING JOB SO SHE COULD SPEND AS MUCH TIME BUILDING HER HOME. THAT’S NOT ME AND IT CANNOT BE ME. Mister man didn’t know that this was me signing out! I had made up my mind at that junction that the marriage wasn’t working and it was time to face reality.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“I was going to file for a divorce and I wasn’t going to discuss it with him. Then in December 2013, I went to the airport to pick him up. He had come to London for my graduation (not knowing his wife at this point was all set to leave him). I went to the airport, saw him and started crying again. I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t leave him. I haven’t loved anyone the way I love this man. I couldn’t live without this man. I immediately filed away the divorce idea.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“I decided to give the marriage another go. I suppose it helped that none of my Ph.D. applications went through. So I went back to Nigeria and did my best to give the marriage all I got! My husband who used to resist me working outside Lagos because the family should be together, dropped the idea. Even though the field I worked thrived more in Abuja, he didn’t complain. If it was Antarctica I wanted to go, he would let me go. As long as we were still married, he didn’t mind.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“As long as I’d come back to him, I could go anywhere. If I didn’t want any more children, that was okay with him! We will stop with this one. It is not like people take kids with them to the afterlife. But when the Ph.D. opportunity came, not one “YOU ARE LEAVING ME ALONE YET AGAIN” did I get from him. I came here with my son because that’s what I do. I go with my son everywhere! It’s not even a question – maybe it’s guilt. Guilt that I regretted having him.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“Guilt that I always say I shouldn’t have married or had a child. I wish I knew while growing up that it was an option to have a child and that not everyone should marry and have children. Maybe because of that guilt, or maybe it’s just pure mother’s love, I inconvenience myself to make his life better. I changed and only wanted to do everything to give my son the childhood I believe he deserves. On occasions, I’d even put him before my career. Like right now, I’ve decided post-PhD.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>“I wasn’t going to aim to be the Facebook COO until my son is 16 – 18. I’d slow down and then resume again when he’s less dependent on me. Bottom line, if I knew better, I wouldn’t have gotten married or most definitely wouldn’t have had a child. But it has already happened and I would be damned if I don’t make the best of it. Regardless, I’m reminded that those were decisions I shouldn’t have taken!”</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>There you go, guys! I’m sure you now see the more reason why you should never throw caution to the wind when choosing a life partner. This is why I favor long courtships. It gives you ample time to GET TO KNOW your potential spouse. No one ever wants to be in situations like that, and one sure way to prevent such fate is taking time to know your spouse-to-be from the INSIDE OUT before marriage. I hope you take a cue from this and help your destiny.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>There’s a lot more to manhood than the feeling of unbeatable masculinity and supremacy over the weaker vessels. A whole lot rests on the shoulders of a man. As a matter of fact, the good, bad, and ugly events of the world can be traced to men in one way or the other. You might want to call my attention to biblical Eve right now. Oh yes, she fell for the serpent’s trick and ate the forbidden fruit. But that could only have happened in Adam’s absence, arguably.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Well, we’re not here to play the blame game, but rather, to call the attention of the pillars of families to a plague that has fostered devastation in families for ages. While a man may feel so good to have different women at his beck and call, the aftermath of such indulgence is usually the least desired. Bachelors usually seem to get away with promiscuity, but that’s never the case. However, the effect of promiscuity is more readily apparent in the lives of MARRIED MEN.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>That is why bachelors should keep in mind that in addition to finding and marrying a wife, there’s the ultimate duty of safeguarding her and the children she bears. One major way of ensuring that safety is KEEPING MISTRESSES AND STRANGE WOMEN AT ARM’S LENGTH. No doubt, there’s this exciting PLEASURE OF DANGER that comes with adultery. Even the bible says in Proverbs 9:17 that “Stolen water is sweeter, and stolen bread tastes better.” (GNT).</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>However, the same bible takes an exception to such pleasure, stating in Proverbs 6:32-33 that “…a man who commits adultery doesn't have any sense. He is just destroying himself. He will be dishonored and beaten up; he will be permanently disgraced.” (GNT). A man can live with TEMPORARY DISGRACE. But PERMANENT DISGRACE??? hell no! I read the confession of a retired Delilah and was inspired to put up this piece. You should read it too. She said;</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>-----</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“I am a 30-year-old lady who was once an international prostitute. I am well known in Abuja for this business. I want to talk about what happens in the world of prostitutes and girlfriends. Women are usually told to pray for their marriages and husbands. However, the same husbands do not pray for themselves to keep from indulging in extramarital affairs. Truth is, when a man starts cheating on his wife or fiancée, he automatically gets into bondage.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“I was in prostitution for 9 years. I had an evil tattoo on my waist that covenanted a man with me the moment we had carnal knowledge of each other. The covenant kept men from leaving me, as it put them under the influence of darkness. My colleagues and I used love potions on men to keep them glued to us. Most men don’t willingly forget about their lovely wives or family, neither do they treat their beloved wives badly by choice. They are under our spell.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“It was our duty to make sure that our victims forgot about their wives completely. We used so many charms to ensure that. We would make charms and throw them into a pit latrine toilet. That made our victims’ wives smell like a toilet and the men would lose interest in their wives. At times we would trace our victims to their homes and throw charms around their houses by midnight to cause marital shambles such that they’ll be fights and squabbles each day.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“Even now, girls who want other women’s husbands still practice what I'm talking about. They serve their victim food and drinking water that’s been infested with love potions. They put charms in their victims’ bathing water, especially those who bath at their mistresses’ homes. They put charms in their vaginas to heighten sexual pleasure and keep their victims endlessly wanting more sex and making the men to always oblige their every request with immediate effect.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“People are wicked! Yes, prostitutes are beautiful. They smile like angels. They blow a man’s mind with crazy moves during sex just to render him crazier. But behind that angelic smile lies extremely bad intentions. Apart from making a man’s beautiful wife and children suffer, the only other thing they want from the man is his money. Some, however, go as far as wanting to replace a man’s wife just to be in control of his wealth.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“After a successful overthrow, they kill the man in some way and remain with his money. After that, they jump to another man, and it goes on and on. Men, listen to me, those SIDE CHICS of yours do not love you like they claim to. They hate you so much that they can even kill you if that is what it takes to steal your money and go. There is nothing good in cheating. You may think you’re a real man. But in the actual sense, you’re just a foolish immoral man.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“We used to buy water that’s been used to bath dead bodies and put drops of it in drinking water and give to our victims. We used the same water to cook Nshima for them to eat. When they eat it, they became like a corpse and would be absolutely unable to refuse any request we made. Even now, the use of mortuary water for such purpose is still trending. There’s another charm that is done with leaves and roots of trees on which suicide was committed.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“We get leaves and roots of those trees, mix them together and make a very powerful charm such that when a man leaves us and gets to his home, he flares up over useless things and beat his wife to death. These charms are being used even now by most girls who are desperate for men. May God forgive me because I have broken many marriages. Sometimes we use the pillowcase a man sleeps on when he spends the night at our houses to make powerful black magic that ties his mind to us, making him to think of us always and never be able to think straight.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“Sometimes we get small pieces of white cloth and use it to clean up a man after sex, taking off all the sperm from his manhood and from our vagina all in the name of whipping him clean. But the same cloth is taken to witchdoctors for the making of powerful charms. Many girls have become the next wives just by using this formula. Men even buy expensive cars for their mistresses because they are in bondage and can’t resist granting their mistresses’ requests.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“But in all these, I applaud some men. There are men we employed every seductive formula to lure into our net but they never fell for our antics. We tried by all means to seduce them but they were the “NO NONSENSE” kind of men who are always guided by God and respect themselves and their wives. Yes, there are real faithful men and may God bless them. Prostitutes/girlfriends outside marriage are evil. They can act all lovey-dovey but are nothing but snakes!!!”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“They don’t love you at all. In fact, they hate you! All they want is your money. The only woman who loves you in truth is your wife. Ladies and gentlemen, this is my confession. Wives, pray for your marriages, not only when things are bad but always. The devil is roaming up and down looking for marriages to destroy every day. Men, also pray for yourselves always. I thank God I’m born-again. My aim now is to preach the gospel, tell the world my story, and warn men about what happens in the dark world of prostitutes, girlfriends, side chics, or whatever you call them.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>-----</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>I know how you feel right now. I felt just about the same way when I read it. I couldn’t think of a better thing to do with that revelation than to spread it. You should do the same if you agree that bachelors and even married men need to know this. Like I said in the beginning, there’s a lot more to manhood than the feeling of unbeatable masculinity and supremacy over the weaker vessels. To whom much is given, much is expected.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>If God has entrusted men with the responsibility of heading families, He sure expects them to be at their A-GAME in discharging that responsibility. I’d earlier quoted a popular opinion which has it that the problem of the world can be traced to smaller societies, the problem of those societies can be traced to families, and the problem of families can be traced to men. One major problem of families in recent times has been that of extramarital affairs and divorce.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>I bring this epistle to an end by quoting Proverbs 5:15 which says; “Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone.” (GNT). This, in my opinion, is WHAT EVERY BACHELOR SHOULD KNOW BEFORE STARTING A FAMILY. It’s been my pleasure to spread this information to you (bachelor or not). All you need do is tap on the share button to spread it further until it becomes common knowledge, for you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Until the end of time, we will always have deceitful people with us. Like I said earlier, the earth is full of people who don't mind ruining your destiny just to feed their selfish appetites and desires. So it beholds on you to live with caution, learn wisdom, and be very close to the HOLY GHOST. This way, it will be difficult for you to fall victim to EMOTIONAL SCAMMERS.</i></span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>There are good people in the world, and as the Bible says; DEEP CALLS UNTO DEEP. In due season, your persistent GOODNESS despite the pressure to TURN BAD will pay off. Never let the EVIL DEEDS of people with TWISTED SOULS contaminate the SWEETNESS of your own soul. At the right time, you will be rewarded with your kind, as much as the BAD EGGS will be rewarded with their kind.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Like my pastor usually says; "CUNNY MAN DIE, CUNNY MAN BURY AM." Rephrasing that statement in a direct contrast, it becomes; "LEGIT MAN LIVE, LEGIT MAN LIVE WITH AM." Just keep up the good work if you're in the business of doing good. Soon enough, it'll pay off. Good always pays, as much evil does.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 17.6px;"><i>We tend to tilt more towards the infamous lifestyles of the Westerners but totally abhor the worthful practices they uphold which puts them over us perpetually. We have no problem normalizing divorce, soliciting for gay rights, walking public zones half or completely nude, and so on. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">But we completely brush aside things like acquainting ourselves with the country's constitutions to enable us have valid says at all times. We brush aside advocating for the adoption of a workable system of government, and lending our voices to the furtherance of noble courses. Instead, we let ourselves drown in a gullibility that renders us pitiably susceptible to the seductions of political Casanovas.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">We let them enter our spirits through an artful temporary compliance to our set standards, thus gaining our endorsement. We then fall into the temptation they create through empty promises; a sin we keep paying dearly for but never seem to want to break off its hold. We are tossed around like sheep without a Shepherd. We buy whatever they sell to us.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">They run the show and we have no say, even when we outnumber them 100 to 1. That ought not to be so. The real power lies with us, THE PEOPLE. But if the ignorance of this power keeps opening us up to political seduction, I’m afraid the situation of our dear country will only succeed in becoming irredeemably hopeless! But guess what: just a little enlightenment can make the difference!</span></i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Right from the days of John the Baptist, the real power had always been in the hands of THE PEOPLE, not Herod, or the chief priests, or the teachers of the law, or the elders. At a time when Jesus drove out money changers and traders from God’s temple, the Chief priests, teachers of the law, and the elders confronted him. They asked to know by whose authority he was operating.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">He in turn questioned them about John’s baptism, asking if it was from heaven or of human origin. Now, read carefully what they whisperred among themselves: “If we say heaven, he’ll ask us why we didn’t believe John; if we say humans, we’ll be up against it with THE PEOPLE because they all hold John up as a prophet.” They decided to concede that round to Jesus. Mark 11:31 (MSG).</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Again when Jesus told a parable that bared the hypocrisy and wickedness of the religious leaders, they sought to arrest him. The Bible says this about them: “The religious leaders wanted to arrest Jesus because they realized he was telling the story against them. They were the wicked farmers. But they were AFRAID OF THE CROWD (PEOPLE), so they left him and went away.” Mark 12:12 (NLT).</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">From those two biblical instances, it is clear that when it comes to LEADERS and the PEOPLE, the PEOPLE wield more power and have the FINAL SAY. But how come we’re not exercising that power in our country? How come our leaders have their ways back-to-back while we do nothing but wail? The answer is simple. We have opened ourselves up to political seduction.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">We are swayed by a variety of candidates who put us against each other all the time. What we need to do is to use our PEOPLE POWER to keep the political bad eggs from wielding power but ensure that the good ones occupy positions of leadership. What we need to do is to use our PEOPLE POWER to propel even our good leaders into action just to make sure that slackness doesn’t set in at any point.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">The real power is in our hands. We have what it takes to steer the country in the right direction. But to do that, we must purge ourselves of ignorance, greed, ingenuity, and every likeness of corruptness. By so doing, we can stand tall, fight a good fight, and have a better Nigeria. Remember, THE PEOPLE are always FEARED. THE PEOPLE have the FINAL SAY. YOU ARE THE PEOPLE! Use your power rightly today!</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>If you do not belong to the category of folks who ignorantly doubt the existence of God, then your mind most certainly has nurtured thoughts of what the second coming of Jesus Christ will be like. I was an unbelieving teenager when the thoughts started hitting me hard. I was even far from being a teenager when visions of rapture made it a routine to invade my nightly dreams.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>You’ll agree with me that those thoughts can be hunting: more like a threat to the soul. Some of us find a way to suppress them. Some of us ignore them but live with the fear it creates in us. But some of us can’t seem to ignore or get rid of them no matter how hard we try. Those thoughts have certainly come to stay. I have them. You have them. We all have them. Now, let’s discuss them.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Believing a lie does not make the lie any more than a lie, and disbelieving the truth doesn’t make it any less than the truth.

But the truth according to the Bible is that external life and eternal condemnation are spiritual realities that will inevitably be lived out by us depending on our individual choices.</i></span><br />

<i>Of course, our merciful God would not be so wicked to make us in His own image, only to throw us into a fire that never dies out. That’s why He didn’t create that fire with the intent of sending us there. Hell was created for Satan, a rebel of the highest other. For committing treason, the most soothing punishment for him according to God’s wisdom, is an eternity in unquenchable fire. </i></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The case is no different with those who decide to share in the obedience of Christ.

<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If only we knew the tons of genuine admirers that pass us by daily because it would be a taboo for them to speak of their feelings without the intent of following up with a lifelong commitment. What about those who make our hearts skip but we can’t bring ourselves to mention it to them because professing love is now understood to mean a subtle and indirect marriage proposal.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There’s no more room for the Romeo and Juliet experience. The days of picking up a biro from the basket of love to pen down heartwarming words for a significant other are long gone. Even the SONGS OF SOLOMON in the Holy Book are not deemed delightful compositions anymore. If a man does not purport from the onset to leave father and mother and cleave eventually, he’s nothing but bad news.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Falling in love has become a luxury reserved only for the married. But the commitment & responsibilities that come with marriage sometimes overwhelm couples & leave no room for thoughts of actualizing certain youthful fantasies. For instance, you can’t be raising children & thinking of embarking on back-to-back romantic tours or undertaking some exciting adventures of love with reckless abandon.</span></i><br />
<a name='more'></a><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Such sweet things become “once in a while” indulgences. Couples’ minds become so preoccupied with family matters that they scarcely smile at each other at every turn or whisper sweet nothings into each other’s ears. Even when they get to do them, they’re done mostly out of necessity, not out of sensuality. Marriage is cool. I can’t wait to get married. But I’d love to fall in love prior to walking down the aisle, possibly with the one I fall in love with.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I know that some of us do not have the luxury of investing time in a romantic affair that is not marriage-bound because “we’re not getting any younger.” We want to go into marriage straight up! But take it from me, you can’t afford to walk this earth without falling in love and getting all caught up in its priceless sensations. I’m talking about falling in love with someone you owe nothing more than to love them in every possible way without being burdened with marital expectations & mandatory responsibilities.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is understandable if age isn’t on your side and you need to get married in the next couple of months. But when you get married, you might wanna agree with your spouse to postpone childbearing for a year or two in order to take time and enjoy romantic love without distractions. You just can’t afford to miss out on that feeling. But if you have a lot of time in your hands like me and are yet to fall in love, you might wanna catch the next ride to LOVE GARDEN and have your love story written down in history.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You never know how many people may be interested in reading it. Four years back, I had my LOVE FANTASIES documented in a 43-EPISODE ROMANCE NOVEL titled OGECHI & I. It instantly became an AWARD WINNING BLOCKBUSTER. You can google it. Now I can’t imagine what’s gonna happen after I have my REAL LOVE STORY documented in a book. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna make it to the bestsellers. Don’t get twisted, love is a beautiful thing. You should fall in love today.</span></i><br />

<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i>BETWEEN SETTING A STANDARD FOR A DESIRED SPOUSE & LETTING GOD CONNECT YOU TO A SUITABLE SPOUSE, WHICH IS THE WAY TO GO???</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>We all have the kind of spouse we desire to marry. For some of us, it's the tall, rich, and handsome brother who speaks fluently. For others, it's that eye-candy sister who takes every guy's breath away when she stands out to address an audience.</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>It's cool to have standards. But is it cool to set standards for a desired spouse? Think about it, Adam had no idea what Eve would look like, neither did Eve know what Adam would look like.</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>But on beholding his God ordained & divinely connected spouse, he set a standard for her there and then. The standard was: "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. (Genesis 2:23 KJV)."</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>Until Adam met Eve, he had no idea what she was going to look like or be like, same as Eve. That's because the base of their meeting was GOD'S DIVINE CONNECTION. Setting a standard for a desired spouse could reflect a lack of trust in God to divinely connect you to a spouse SUITABLE FOR YOU. (Genesis 2:18).</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i></i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i></span><br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i>I think the best union is a union set up by God himself. All we have to do is ALIGN OURSELVES WITH GOD'S WILL AND PURPOSE for our lives and marriages, and PRAY like our marital destinies depend on it because to be sincere, IT DOES.</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>God is more interested in HIS PURPOSE FOR A MARRIAGE than in the couples' personal self gratification which is usually a function of selfishness. And selfishness is largely responsible for most marital shambles.</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>On the other hand, marriage stands firm on the wings of pure & genuine selflessness. I'd say there's a thin line between standards and selfishness because nothing about standards is favorable to the other party.</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>It's always about the party setting the standards. Of the truth, God's choice for us may not always be in tune with our desires. But at the end, we would be angry at God if He hadn't connected us to that seemingly inadequate & undesirable partner who usually turns out to be nothing short of the best for us.</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>God knows better. I bet Abraham would not have opted to marry Sarah if he as much as suspected she wouldn't bear him a child (delay God's promise to him) until he was 100 years of age. But today, Abraham is called the FATHER OF ALL NATIONS.</i></span><br />
<span ms="" sans-serif="" trebuchet=""><i><br /></i>
<i>That wouldn't have been possible without the one-time barren Sarah. God's ways are not our ways, same as His thoughts. Our standards can only hinder the EXPECTED END He has in store for us. Marriage is all about SACRIFICE, and the first sacrifice we may have to make may be ACCEPTING GOD'S CHOICE OF SPOUSE FOR US, no matter how undesirable they may seem.</i></span><br />

<i>Howbeit, there might be a couple of us who hold a strong conviction that SETTING A STANDARD FOR A DESIRED SPOUSE is the way to go. Feel free to drive your point across if you're one.

<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hey sis, shebi during your 20s, men are trooping in and all of us want to marry you, abi? We are all over you. Your WhatsApp doesn’t rest. Your messenger is filled up. If you breath on Facebook, you get 400 likes and 350 comments and it is entering into your head, shey? It doesn’t even end there oh. You can’t walk the streets without series of men calling on you and wanting to get your number.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Your breasts are very comely, your lips are succulent, and your legs are smooth. Even if you are ugly, it doesn’t show much at this level because you are in your 20s and everything about you is still standing tall. Your backside is still very nicely shaped and bouncing properly, and you can’t help telling yourself that you have such a bright future behind you. Okay nah. Now, here are the mistakes most of you girls make at this stage of your lives;</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">YOU EASILY DUMP GUYS IN A RELATIONSHIP: Any little thing, you break up because in your little mind, there are many fishes in the ocean. Over 20 guys are bothering you for relationship. So you can easily hook up with another guy. After six months, you break up again and start another one because you are hot like Akara. You cannot bend down and build a solid relationship, neither can you learn how to tolerate a man and work on your own self. At this stage, feminism dey shack you like Kai-Kai. You no send anybody. You no want hear advise at all. For your mind, even this kain post na rubbish. No wahala. We shall see.</span></i><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">AT THIS LEVEL, SOME OF YOU LADIES WANT TO SHOW EVERYTHING: Since you’re still young and your breasts are still standing up tall, all you want to do snap and show them off on social media. Your buttocks are still very nice, so you display it anyhow, using it to set trap for guys. You sell romantic skin like Akara. Every guy in the neighborhood is coming to collect their own share. Even married men are collecting their own. They are all collecting and walking away, and in your mind, marriage will not be hard. Haha. I laugh you in your village people’s language.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">AT THIS STAGE, YOU DON’T LACK ANYTHING: Men are giving you all you need. You are not working but airtime is never below N10,000 on your phone. Shoes and classic cloths are uncountable in your wardrobe, yet, you are not doing any job. Small girl with big god, abi? Dem dey rush you, abi? Life is beautiful and you couldn’t ask for more, abi? Listen, let me tell you, as all those things are happening, that’s exactly how your destiny is depreciating with speed. A time will finally come when your age will have really increased and all those your assets will be needing pillar support to make them look alive. You think I’m lying? Oya go and ask that woman you use to add “Mama” before her real name and you will hear/see for yourself.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It doesn’t end there oh. Your face will begin to have a lot of pimples and holes. Many things will just go wrong with you. Your once flat tommy will begin to come out and your local government will begin to have some kind of mature odor that can kill somebody’s bouncing baby boy. Your armpit will become darker and your waist will begin to develop flesh rapidly while those your broad hips will just disappear as if they were raptured. At this point, your eye go begin clear!!!</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Days will turn to months and months will turn to years. You begin to have near success syndrome with guys. It will look as if the relationship is almost working out. But before you say JACK, something will happen and the guy will disappear. You will start following another guy with hope for marriage, and like play like play, dat one sef go just follow chop you and run away. You go begin grow old unnecessarily and the fear of menopause will even make you age faster.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">By this time, the spiritual DNAs of the multiple guys you slept with, both the ones from cursed families and the ones with ancestral curses, will begin to hunt you. You begin to reap the consequences of lifting your legs towards the ceiling and twisting your body like snake in bed. By this time, all those things that used to make guys “rush you” will be no more. By this time, you become emergency born again. All your post on Facebook begins to be all about Jesus and church things. They'll change from “small girl with big god” and “na dem dey rush us” to “Jesus I love you.” Even to wish someone a happy birthday, Jesus must enter. Mtcheeeew…</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Even when football is being discussed, you must find a way to add Jesus to it. For your mind, you dey deceive guys abi? You wan’t guys to see the supposed wife material in you, abi? Suddenly, you learn manners. All your past escapades with men begin to tell on you. The battle becomes more spiritual than physical, as the multiple soul ties begin speaking different kinds of grammar on your destiny. All the curses married women laid on you for sleeping with their husbands begin to control your destiny. You think excessive Mary Kay can remove all your mess???</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Listen oh, at 40, a guy is still young and looks very young. But a lady of 35 looks more like that woman who you used to add "Mama" before her real name. What is my point in all these talks??? Make haste while the sun shines to avoid “had I known.” Don’t while away your time playing games with men. For those who don’t understand simple analysis, I am not saying a lady cannot marry at 35. I am not saying God’s time is not the best. I am not mocking those who are above 30 and still single. I am not saying that only those who marry at 25 have the best of marriages.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am only saying you shouldn’t waste your time sleeping around with men when you can easily accept a man who loves you and settle down with him. See ehn, at this point of your life, only men of older ages like 40-45 will come to marry you because young guys of 30-35 won’t like to marry a lady of 35-38. Even at that, it could be frustrating because even those guys of 40-45 may have all been married by this time, even married to girls of 22-27. Guys still look so young at 40. But a lady of 35 will look like “Senior Sis,” if you know what I mean. Ladies age faster. That’s why a girl of 16 will look so mature and guys will be “rushing her” while a boy of 18 will look like a 13-year-old. I know it makes you girls feel big at that tender age. But remember that the same thing also applies in old age. A word is enough for the wise. Bye-bye!!!</span></i></div>

<i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you have one of these 11 signs, you are one of the rarest people on earth. Some of us living on Earth are very different from most people. Such persons are very rare. They are called defenders of the world, and they make up less than 1% of the world's population! Supporters of the world are also known as people who possess the type of person INFJ.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Individuals of this category are distinguished by extraordinary talent. They are special and blessed. As already mentioned, such persons constitute less than 1% of the world population. Such people are born to fulfill a special mission in the advancement of society, and their work is already being conducted here on planet Earth!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Individuals with INFJ were sent to our planet to bring society out of darkness to the bright light of human consciousness and spirituality! They are born with a deep sense of idealism and reality. They are distinguished by maturity, responsibility and intuition.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>These individuals were born with a kind of knowledge that the rest of humanity can only acquire through a series of trials and errors. INFJ come into contact with other people on a deeper level. They are warm and speak a foreign language. They constantly take care of the hearts of other people and cannot offend even a fly.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The lawyers of the world were born with special knowledge and are not quite sure what their true potential is. But they know for sure that they are capable of accomplishing great things. Do you think that you have any signs of an INFJ personality? If yes, then you must mark one of these 11 bright signs!</i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>1. EXCEPTIONAL PRIORITIZATION</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Such people were born with an exceptionally acute sense of priority. They know very well what is important for the lives of the people around them and entire nations. Such personalities always pay attention to such important things in life as inner experiences and memories, forming relationships and adding positivity to their daily atmosphere in parallel with realism.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>2. INTUITION </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>People with INFJ have a keen sense of intuition. Individuals are able to focus on their sense of intuition to help choose the right path in such a deceptive modern world. They do not allow worldly things or materialistic objects to control their lives.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>3. THEY ONLY HAVE A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>People with INFJ show excessive selectivity in friendship. The idea of having a lot of fake friends is disgusting to them. Instead, the personalities of such a warehouse are preferred to have only a few close people on whom they can count in a difficult moment. INFJ, most likely, can be attributed to the category of introverts, because they are too different from the rest of society.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>4. THEY HAVE EMPATHY </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Individuals with INFJ are also very sensitive. They have the gift to determine the energy of other people. They can feel that something is wrong, even if another person has tried on a false mask of happiness. Individuals can easily absorb the energy of other people, and this attribute can be regarded, rather, as a curse, rather than a gift. Such people are able to overcome negative energy.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>5. THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The most obvious thing is that the lawyers of the world are trying to change our universe. They want to overcome the weaknesses of human society and constantly try to teach others by connecting the true potential. People with INFJ believe that the world can be changed for the better and never give up such attempts.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>6. SUCH PEOPLE CANNOT STOP AT ONE GOAL</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Personality type INFJ is a person looking for something new. Proponents of the world show a fair amount of perseverance when they go on a quest. They do not wait and do not rest, because they always try to improve something.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>7. THEY ARE VISITED BY CONTRADICTORY THOUGHTS </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The type of INFJ personality is characterized by very contradictory thoughts. Such people understand more than others, so they have to analyze almost every thought that is born in their head. They look at things from different angles, and this leads to the fact that they are visited by very contradictory thoughts.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>8. THEY WRITE WELL</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Such a person can be gifted and in writing. He likes to write with a pen and express his point of view. This type of person is a clear and bright writer, and he has the opportunity to captivate the audience, even if he does not disclose the content of the written.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>9. THEY LOOK AT THE WORLD WIDELY</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Supporters of the world are born with knowledge that goes much further than their worldly understanding. They can represent a picture of life from a wide perspective. Such persons are not absorbed in small details, because they are constantly focused on major events! People with INFJ are also not discouraged when it comes to the materialistic aspects of life.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>10. THEY ALWAYS ASPIRE TO BE TEACHERS, BUT THEY NEVER FULFILL THEIR DOGMAS THEMSELVES</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>People with INFJ are endowed with powerful learning tools. They can really attract the attention of the audience and teach great things. However, for fear of being seen as narcissistic, they usually limit themselves to advice.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>11. THEY ARE DISTINGUISHED BY PASSION</b> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Love INFJ is not similar to the hobbies of other people. They are passionately involved in maintaining a love relationship. They are actually very trusting people, but that does not mean that they are easy to conquer. However, if a person could win the heart of such a person, then it was worth it! These people are the best companions in the world.</i></span></div>

<div>
<i>As a woman the more anointing you want to flow in your life, the more humble you must be. The Bible says, He gives grace to the humble. You want more grace? You have to be more humble. There are some of you here, you're pastor's wive's, i have a message for you, because some of you are always the first to resist your husband, just because you're his wife. That means you dont even respect the anointing of Gods spirit upon his life</i></div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<i>You even oppose him in public meetings, you never agree with any of his decisions. But i tell you, you have to be very careful. Do</i><i> you really know the meaning of husband? Or do You think husband means the male partner in a marriage? No! Husband means MASTER. Thats what it means, not a male partner. Thats one reason there are problems in so many Christian homes today. Marriage in Christianity to some is just a flop. They believe they're equal partners. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Look let me tell you something, if you wanna live according to Scriptures, then understand what the word says. The reason God made woman was actually because of the man. The woman was not God's original idea in the first place. And thats the truth. Now, when God, made everything, the Bible said everything was good no problems, until He got a woman.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Let me tell you something, if many women had their fathers bold enough to talk to them, they'd be successful in their marriages, and they'd also be happy. Most women have never been taught by their parents, their father's in particular. And thats where the problem lies. They dont know who a man is, to them he's just another woman. You see, in a marriage, you have the man who is the head of that Union, and because he's the head of that Union, its important to understand him.</i><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Now you think he's the one to understand his wife, and thats where you get it wrong. He will, but until you know who you are married to, the kind of man that he is, what he likes or does not like then there are gonna be misunderstandings between the two parties. When you say you are married to a man you're automatically under his authority. You are not authority sharers. So as a woman, when you decide not to submit yourself to that authority, you've become a rebel. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>And God's not gonna accept what you're doing, because you're not functioning correctly. Let me tell you, no man wants another mother, or an older sister. Your secrets are in your obedience, your secret is in listening to your husband, and doing those things that pleases him. And when you dont please your husband,you've taken the role of a mother or an older sister. And what happens automatically is, he starts seeing you differently.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>The reactions he has to people who tries to tell him what to do, will be the same reactions he'll have towards you. Dont make your life hard, hear this, to be happy in your home and in your marriage is the easiest thing. Just play your roles, take your place. That place God put you as a wife is a beautiful place, a place of peace, and excellence. And when you go out of it, you find out that its no longer a husband that you have, you may be calling him a husband but he's no longer one.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Just like what Jesus said, they call me lord, Lord but dont do what i say. One of the easiest way to destroy what you want to say is to teach your teachers. For some of you, you're always good in opposing your husband, every idea he introduces, you must oppose. You need to be wise, you can always present your objections as suggestion, and not by force or rudely.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>A wise woman will always be an influence on her husband. But only a foolish one will always wanna annoy the husband, make him mad forgetting that she'd still be the victim. Learn to listen to your husband. Practice it. Once you stop listening to your husband, your beauty evaporates, but you might not know this. Beauty is obedience.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Once you're harsh, talking anyhow to your husband, your beauty evaporates. And you wonder why you're dressing and he doesn't even see it, he doesnt even remember your last hairstyle, he no longer see those things. Learn to keep your home through your attitude.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If you keep spending on a woman and she never asks you if you’re saving or investing but keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen. Where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning. That was our office.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face. That’s what being the head of the house is mostly about.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary. It will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay. But if it’s in your care, she will keep asking you even when all has been spent.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>6.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Don’t ever beat your woman. The pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart, and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>7.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>8.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests. There are hardly any lands for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>9.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, under the cocoa tree I met your mother could be the eateries and restaurants of nowadays. But remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>10.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Don’t be carried away when you start making more money. Instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>11.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother’s father’s house to call her out, it was not for sex. It was because I missed her so much.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>12.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, remember, when you say your wife has changed, there could be something you’ve stopped doing too.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>13.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, your mother rode a bicycle with me before I bought a car. Any woman that won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>14.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Don’t compare your wife to any woman. There are ways she’s enduring you too and has she ever compared you to any man?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>15.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There is this thing you people call feminism. Well, if a woman claims to have equal rights with you in the house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to start paying the other part.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>16.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, I met your mother a virgin and I took more yams to her father. If you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her. What I didn’t tell you is that our women had prestige.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>17.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish. Many think a female child won’t extend a family name. Please don’t make that mistake. The kind of female achievers I see nowadays has made the male-gender an ordinary tag.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>18.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, your mother had once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry. I did not raise my hand to beat her because of that, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>19.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their arms, the ones you people now call tattoo. But don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your women of nowadays.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>20.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, your mother and I are not interested in what happens in your marriage. Try to handle issues without always coming to us.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>21.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, remember I bought your mother’s first sewing machine for her. Help your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re pursuing yours.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>22.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, don’t stop taking care of me and your mother. It’s a secret of growing old and having children to take care of you too.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>23.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My son, pray with your family. There is a tomorrow you don’t know. Talk to God that knows everything every day.</i></span></div>

<img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_sw8uNtVRgUHISvUu0eB_mDwwIZGZfQerhwjirllwm6ZoBmFvXED1OfCfHBaliCdr7DUlM94n6wl13sPSJeIF12OA63ChkT1Nbl0I6oneIJ-kefsMG1HfjJT96kBAqG8FG-1zbuwWm2L9/s320/WhatsApp+Image+2018-05-17+at+10.05.45.jpeg" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Single ladies, a man is not a financial plan. A relationship is not a pension scheme. Marriage is not a retirement plan. If your primary need from a man is financial help, N1,000,000 from him will seem to you like God is saying the man is His beloved son. A new car from him will confirm his spirituality, and a big house will automatically make him the will of God for your life and destiny.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Who says you can't work smart and hard and buy a car for yourself as a single lady? It's easy to mistake financial help for love when you are constantly on the receiving end. It's harder to walk away from a toxic relationship when the man is the one paying your bills. You choose more clearly when his money is not calling the shots.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Again, don't get me wrong, giving is important. But nobody said you must be president of receivers association. On your birthday, you'll be expecting Porsche. But on his birthday, you even collect money from him again and buy two Okrika singlets for him. Sister how far nah? And I'm not saying you must be a billionaire right now (even though there's nothing wrong with that).</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>It's all about a mindset. You are a blessing, not a burden. He should be free to tell you he's got a great financial blessing without wondering what new strategy you'll use to finish the money. Marriage amplifies who you really are. A parasitic single lady will be a hole in her husband's pocket, never allowing anything to stay. A lazy wife was a lazy spinster. A prayerless wife was a prayerless single lady. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Like my mum will say, “if he's the breadwinner, what stops you from being the Akara winner? Wouldn't that be a delicious combo?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Also, there's nothing wrong with being hard to get, as long as you are still gracious in your words and actions, but the real problem is when you're hard to keep. As you are making 'yanga' for him, make sure you're worth the stress.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Don't deliberately act in terrible and arrogant manners to see if he will keep loving you, saying "if he loves me, he'll cope with it" he is not Jesus and it's not anointing oil that flows in his veins, he can get tired and package his anointed love and proposal and shove it up his sleeves. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>There's a limit to endurance, forget all those Palestinian movies and Telemundo deception of love. I'm not saying be perfect, I'm saying be willing to grow, change, adjust. A bad attitude is not your inborn talent, you can change. While it's hard to get you, it should be easy to love you.</i></span><br />
