What we have been up to... 😍😍😍

Conviction or Compulsion?

Recently, I had a deep thought on 'reasons and results'.
While referring to spiritual context, I observe that most of what we do results from what we heard, what we see and what we met others doing.

When a challenging question is thrown such as:
Why don't you use wool or attachment?
Why don't you put on this exposing wear?
Why don't you use jewellery?
Why can't you teach me in the exam hall?
Why can't you lie a little?
Why can't you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Why can't you go for night parties?
Why can't you see this type of movie?
Why can't you agree to the dictate of that lustful boy/girl/man/woman?
Why this, Why that!

Most times we are often thrown off balance.

Why?

Our response is always shallow; such as
'Our church says';
'Our Pastor said';
'My Parents said';
'My leader said'

Why not 'God said'!

Christianity is based on conviction and not compulsion,
Get a backbone, don't be a jelly fish!
If anyone ask you the reason of the hope you have, give a solid, sound, structured proof,
Study the Bible to show yourself approved!

Be a Christian of conviction and not a religious folk bounded by compulsion.

Scribe of Christ,
AdunifeOluwa.

*A must read*

*Jack MA*, The Richest Man in China said:

_If you put Bananas and Money in front of Monkeys, Monkeys will choose Bananas because monkeys do not know that *Money can buy a lot of Bananas*._

IN REALITY,
if you offer JOB and BUSINESS to people, they would choose JOB because most people do not know that BUSINESS can bring more MONEY than Wages.

Similarly,
*Robert Kiyosaki*, author of the best selling book "RICH DAD, POOR DAD" and also a business partner of Donald Trump said:
_"One of the reasons poor are poor, is because they are NOT TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIES._

They spend too much time in school and what they have learnt in school, is to WORK FOR WAGES instead of MONEY WORKING FOR THEM.

*"Profit is better than Wages, for Wages can make you a living but Profits can bring you a Fortune."*

*THINK INVESTMENT* and stop fighting over increments of salaries, it still won't be enough.....
*Hear this from a Professor to freshmen and women during their orientation:* (Actually he is an Acting DVC Academic at a small/new university in Kenya)

"Academic excellence is overrated!
Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.
You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else.
The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.
The fact is, life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam.
School rewards people for their memory.
Life rewards people for their imagination.
School rewards caution, life rewards daring.
School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.
So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class.
Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position.
Start a business and fail. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.
Join or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you.
Attend a seminar.
Read books outside the scope of your course.
Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards...
Do something you believe in!
Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person.
Don't make the classroom to be your world but Make the world your classroom.
Step forward, try politics, try farming, try business, try an extra thing . ."👌🏽

HUSBAND SCARCITY:THE WAY OUT!!!!!!!

This may not be the best time for me to write on this
because of misinterpretations, but I can no longer resist the
push. "Husband Scarcity" has become one of the challenges
faced by many young girls today. If you go to prayer houses,
majority of the intentions are prayer for a life partner. And
this calls for concern. Casting our minds back to the time of
our mothers and grandmothers, was there really much of a
"Husband Scarcity" problem? Or, maybe there were more men
than women then, or there was an adequate corresponding
numbers of both genders. I don't think so. Maybe then, the
women had values and were prepared to build a home and
not park into a built home. Then, once a young man comes
of age and can at least feed himself and his wife, he goes
out in search of a wife and the woman really appreciates him
and helps him to build a future. What am I really trying to
say? We created what we now see as "Husband Scarcity" for
ourselves. Today, the reverse is the case. Ask an average girl
to define her dream husband; you get things like "he has to
be tall, handsome, fair, and rich, own a house at least, and be
presentable" and then she adds "God fearing" in order not to
sound so worldly. Then, check the number of girls around
you and the number of men that meet that standard, and you
will see the problem. You hear girls say, "I cannot suffer in
my father's house and then go and start suffering with a
man." What a wonderful dream! What if from the beginning,
you have everything you want and there is no suffering, and
later in the marriage, the table turns around, then comes
suffering? Will you run away? No one prays for suffering, but
it is good to start small and end big, than start big and end
small. The problem is that the description majority of girls
give of their ideal man is virtually the same. When 50 girls
want the same kind of man and the man that fits what they
want is just 1 man, and the man can only pick one. Then,
what becomes of 49 others? They simply start lamenting of
"Husband Scarcity". Another irony of our time is that it is
hard, due to the face of our economy to find a man who is of
marriage age who possesses all those things these ladies
want, legally (except those involved in Internet fraud); even
the number of those in Internet fraud is not enough to match
all those searching for already made husbands. If you look
around, majority of the ladies of substance, of good value
and virtue, who are ready to build a home with a man who
has prospects, are married and not complaining of husband
scarcity. The easiest way to find a husband now, is to change
your view of who a husband is. A husband is that man God
made and then saw that it may be hard for him to really
actualize his purpose for making him, without a help mate
and then made the woman and gave to him, and he felt
complete and fulfilled MARRIAGE IS NOT A POVERTY
ALLEVIATION PROGRAM. It is a mission of building the
family of God here on earth. For those who see marriage as a
way out of poverty, it is a way into bo***ge. Women are
HOME BUILDERS, not HOME WARMERS... DON'T CONFUSE A
MAN'S PATH WITH HIS DESTINY. Where he is today, may
only be a route to where God has destined him to be
tomorrow. Another truth is that YOU MAY BE THE ONLY FAST
MEANS TO THAT HIS DESTINATION. Join in alleviating
"husband scarcity". PICK UP THE RIGHT VALUES. I am not
saying that you should pick anyone that comes your way and
talks of marriage, not all men are husband materials. What I
am saying is that you should stop setting your standard on
material acquisitions or physical appearances. Look beyond
the physical. WHAT MAKES A MAN WHO HE IS, IS NOT
WHAT HE OWNS OR HOW HE LOOKS, IT IS WHAT HE IS
MADE UP OF. And that which he is made of is, most times,
not seen with the physical eyes, only its effects can be seen.
Marriage is a permanent thing. Whatever is seen is temporal
and that which is not seen is permanent....
God bless u!!!!!
