WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD, ‘JERUSALEM’?

-


I have witnessed conversations of how people place curses on this nation and her leaders too many times.

Though I correct such errors immediately, I can't help but shake my head at people who engage in such dastardly acts. We need to be responsible enough and do something. What can you do? You can START by praying… YES, pray; NO MATTER WHAT. It is Biblical to do so.

I just hope this pandemic ‘era’ has really taught people that there is really NO PLACE LIKE HOME. The truth is there is nowhere else to go (when you dispute this, remember the truth is bitter). If you travel far and wide, it does not change the fact that THIS IS HOME.

Okay, so our leaders are corrupt, greedy, self-seeking and the list is almost endless. But the question is: WILL CURSING THEM MAKE THINGS BETTER OR WORSE?

When it is time to replace leaders, DO THE NEEDFUL! But for now, the fact that they are still in power: WHETHER YOU LIKE THEM OR NOT, PRAY FOR THEM! When you do that, by extension you are praying for yourself. When you curse them, CURSED-PEOPLE will rule over you, but when you bless them, BLESSED-PEOPLE WILL BE YOUR RULERS! Yes ke!
THE NATION: - Personally I LOVE NIGERIA. Even if I travel abroad, I will always make my home here. Why? Because I DON'T BELIEVE GOD MAKES MISTAKE. And it is not a mistake that I was born here. THERE IS SOMETHING I AM DESTINED TO DO IN NIGERIA AS A NIGERIAN THAT IS LIVING IN NIGERIA THAT ONLY I CAN DO. Yes! I am unique like that. As long as I am a Nigerian, I will pray for the peace of this ‘Jerusalem’ (Psalm 112:6).
Nevertheless, I DON'T JUST PRAY, I DO my part (just like Jeremiah in the Bible); by putting up posts like this, by firmly but politely correcting those who litter our roads and streets…just to mention a few.


UNTIL WE REALLY SEE NIGERIA AS OUR OWN, IT WILL NEVER GET BETTER. When you see something as your own, what do you do? You guard it, you guide it, you treasure it, you protect it, you pray for it, you don't curse it!


IF NIGERIA MUST GET BETTER, THE CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU.

CARELESS WORDS

  ********************* There is a fact we need to always take cognisance of: WORDS are POWERFUL! WORDS CAN EITHER MAKE OR BREAK A PERSON OR A RELATIONSHIP. Words can move a person to tears or propel laughter. Someone once said, “Words are sometimes more destructive than nuclear bomb”. Well, it's true, so you need to be careful how you speak to people or address a person. Some hurtful words can make the recipient feel so bad, feel mentally battered or even begin to have suicidal thoughts. A thought that just came to my mind concerning the effect of words is this: Comedians make people laugh, what do they use? WORDS! The suicide bombers are manipulated to carry out their dastardly act through what? WORDS! They are usually not forced to become suicide bombers, all their manipulators use are WORDS. YOU SEE THE POWER OF WORDS? God made the world through words. That means IF THE RIGHT WORDS CAN CREATE, THE WRONG WORDS CAN ALSO DESTROY WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED. Be mindful of what you say.

CELEBRATING IMPACT:- MR EMMANUEL

Mr. Emmanuel was one of my favourite teachers in secondary school. He was our Christian Religious Studies (CRS) teacher. HE WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. That subject he taught; CRS is a subject that most students usually find boring and uninteresting . But I can assure you that CRS is not boring, only the teacher teaching it can make it appear to be so. THE WAY AND MANNER A TEACHER TEACHES A SUBJECT CAN DETERMINE WHETHER STUDENTS WILL LIKE IT OR NOT. Also, have you noticed that if a student dislikes a teacher, it affects the student's attention span on that subject and by extension affects their performance in that subject? That takes me back to Mr. Emmanuel. There was never a dull moment in this man's classes despite the fact that he teaches one of the subjects students term 'boring'. Muslims or Islamic students who saw how he explained the topics in Christian Religious Studies and gesticulates always snuck into his classes so as not to be left out of the fun that is usua

THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN

In life, there are times when opportunities are either given to us or handed down to us. Opportunities given are the ones you get NOT because you are related or affiliated to the the giver. Opportunities handed down are the ones you get BECAUSE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP or affiliation to the giver. Some have been given opportunities that has turned them into billionaires. Maybe all they needed was capital to bring their ideas into reality. They get the money and boom! They become rich. This happened because they did not waste the opportunity they were given. They used it well, and become successful as a result. Many people have gotten some huge opportunities that they've wasted. This happens when the opportunity looks like a small deal or it is just not looking like an opportunity.  Thomas Edison said "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work".  Take note, NOT ALL Opportunities WILL LOOK LIKE OPPORTUNITIES at first, so it is le
