Once Bitten, Twice Shy (Life Lessons About Gossip) It happened long ago that I got into trouble for being involved in gossip. Yep, you read right. I will save you details… But for a long time, the bitterness and pain of the misconstrued event were my companions. Ever since that event, if I smell gossip coming around me or my …

I learnt a profound lesson about Kindness on Saturday, 23rd February 2019. It was the day slated for Presidential elections. As expecetd all serving Corp members get the privilege to serve with the conducting body, INEC as ad hoc staff. This opportunity is optional, I chose not to participate though a lot of people except my immediate family were aware …
Journaling, Life Lessons
For several years, I have practised the habit of journaling. It took a while then I made discovery; profound, to say the least. Only to confirm later from external sources that it was not just me, as some really cool people share the mutual experiences with me… Perhaps, it explains why I am a one who journals and advocates journaling …

At the family house last night, devotion was a blessing. I’d share some of the wisdom I gleaned. WWJD: What Would Jesus Do? A commonly asked question when in search of direction, insight or clarity over matters. In fact, a multitude of believers grew up using this question as a model to find answers. The minister explained that to receive …

Today, I will share a secret with you. Everyone is in search of green or even greener pastures. And that’s fine. I mean who wouldn’t want to leave a pit of miry clay for his feet to be planted on the solid rock. It is a good aspiration! A great pursuit and if you find it (i.e. your green pasture), …
So, there is this life lesson I want to share… But no topic seems to fit. One way I have learnt and gleaned wisdom over the years is through life lessons. They are not just treasured but usually sink deep into my being. A couple of months ago, at the home where I live, one of my brothers said to …
A man and his wife were going on their happy way. All of a sudden wife insists she needs to stops at the market, to pick u a few things. Mr. Husband is super pissed. Of course, every one knows when a woman goes to market to buy a few things, she’d likely return with a polybag and a bagco …

Turn to you neighbor and say neighbor should be taken seriously o…
So I was at Transformation Conference hosted by Royal Diadem International Network yesterday in Abeokuta and was privileged to sit beside a beautiful young woman…
At some point in the meeting, she wanted to take a selfie and guess what I did! Well, I photobombed… And she didn’t mind one bit that a complete stranger with a charming smile (winks) just photobomed That was not all, she is a daughter of Zion. Why I took such an impulsive step I don’t know o.
At several points during the meeting, we were asked to face our neighbour and say graceful words, pray for one another, dance together, congratulated one another and much more…
And boy, we did just that… We stuck together…
She is perhaps my best “Neighbour” so far… And her name is Tolani she hosts a platform called Marriage Matters With Tolani and you can follow on Instagram @MarriageMatas
I’d share some of our pics at least to feed your eyes na (hahaha)
Here are my lessons learnt:
1. I almost didn’t attend the conference because I suddenly developed cold feet… But thank God he made a way!
2. Take instructions like “turn to your neighbor and say neighbor” seriously… Some have met their spouses, business partners, etc seriously… Me, I met an amazing lady and sister!
3. Maybe its good to be spontaneous… I was glad I photobombed… Not I’d ever dream of doing but then again…
4. A smile never ever hurt or cost much!

PS: Be kind enough to share experiences!

Fathers & Daughters…
Everytime the story of Amnon and Tamar is read from 2Samuel 13… a thought comes to mind about how her father {king David} permitted her to go to her brother’s place.
Now, everyone must realise that fathers must see farther. It is not a choice, it is a responsibility. Fathers must take their children further. Once more, not a choice but a responsibility.
A quick question: What kind of a father are you becoming?
With two illustrations, hopefully a picture of what fathering will be painted. One morning during a quick journey I sat in the Estate shuttle. I observed that on my right side a tall, ebony man was in his sport attire jogging, as he jogged he shook his body to my delight I saw that two children right behind him were doing exactly the same demonstrations as their father.
It is rather unwise to assume that your children are not learning from you. You as a father must are an intentional model to your children. In thoughts, deed, speech, purity, living and loving.
As I turned to the other side of the road, I saw a little girl riding a bicycle she rode pretty well but guess what, her father was right behind her on his own bicycle. This story is also spectacular because, I saw her father performing an oversight function over his daughter. He sees ahead of her and caution her against any harm while guiding.
(PS. This post applies to both sons and daughters as well as fathers and mothers)
Dear brother, what kind of father are you becoming?
Dear sister, what are you on the look out for?
Behold sons are a heritage from the Lord, Children are a reward. (Psalm 127:3)
