I have wondered why it is so easy to judge people by their inability to meet an unknown expectation. A person might be trying so hard to put a smile on another's face but a singular act that dipicts otherwise becomes a bone of contention. It takes a great level of maturity to know that someone has missed it somewhere and then let that person be aware of it in an appropriate way. Once an expectation is not met by another, it becomes aggravating. There's a great tendency that someone expects the other to do something but at the same time that other person is oblivious of the fact that there's something he is expected to do. At this point, it is only proper communication that will pull you two through. When an expectation is not communicated to the other party, it creates a bit of tension between the two, more especially when such expectation is not met. If you need something to be done, why not just say it. Well, in the same vein, communicating your thought to another person ...

The storms rage The billows roll The earth quakes The heart sinks Where else can one run to Where else can one find shelter The trials are choking  It is difficult to express through words Everything seems to be lost Hope has totally vanished. Echoes of defeat sounding louder than normal. Why would you let the sea swallow you! Why on earth will you allow the trials choke you! Have you forgotten who you are? Have you lost hope already? Have you forgotten the promise? You will go through deep waters and great trouble,  He will be with you! You will go through rivers of difficulty,  You will not drown! You will walk through the fire of oppression,  You will not be burned up --the flames will not consume you! You are precious in His sight! He has bought you! He paid in full! You are His!!! Never forget that!

Help!  Am I lost? Can I please be found? For how long have I let go? I've come a long way only to discover I've been off track I need help! I know I messed up somewhere, I've been stuck! I don't want to end up this way. I desire direction Wisdom why are you so far? Knowledge I need you right now! I need to understand what is going on. Can you hear me? Please come to my aid! I've come to my senses, I can't do this alone anymore! Bring light to my eyes! Bring food to my heart! Flood my thirsty soul! Satisfy me! Please consume this hunger oh God! I will not settle for less!

You never can tell how much your life impacts on others. What you are offered is dependent on what you display. I'll ask, how do you carry yourself?  Not necessarily in front of others alone but when you are alone. Better still, how do you see yourself? You answer that!  You can't think of yourself in a demeaning way and let others think differently about you. Imagine you always talk down on yourself, people will gradually begin to see you the way you see yourself. See, if you value yourself it will be very easy for others to value you. Quit looking for approval from men. You are good enough for that job, you are good enough to become great. If God approves of you, then what else are you looking for. When God approves you, all you need to do is concur with God's approval for you, then  move! We are in a world where a lot of people do various unimaginable things just to feel among or get approval from friends. My dear, is that the real you? Think about it. Value yourself! ...

One might say "I have a passion for this or for that", but you might be going about it the wrong way. Another could ask, "does it really mean I'm not passionate about it". Another could also say "could it be that I have no one to lead me in the proper direction; or perhaps I was even discouraged; maybe I substituted my passion for something else; better still, I just could not keep up with it".  See, there will always be an excuse for something you're not doing rightly. Can you just be honest and put all those excuses aside and be real with yourself. Take a minute and think. What is really stopping you from pursuing your goal. Well, the ball is in your court. Don't sit there waiting for who will push you left or right. Everyone is pursuing their own dream. People may or may not be led to help you find that which you seek. Now, you might say "I've got this! I know where I'm headed. I don't need the whole lecture". Well don...

Grace was a 21 year old lady, filled with so much vibe. She was so pretty, chocolate skinned and loved music so much. She was born into a music loving family, so she grew, singing almost all her life. She had two brothers, Praise and James and a baby sister, Nina.

“Will you not get out of that place! Do you want to spoil that drone? I have warned you and next time it will come with a big slap on your yellow tender cheek”, shouted Jeremy.  Mrs. April hurriedly coming  down the stairs shouts, “who wants to bring down my house with such a temper?” It was on a hot Tuesday  afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan  April, Enugu, Nigeria, where Jeremy and his friend Jason, who shortly visited him, were checking out his new drone which his dad recently got for him on his 18th birthday that year. Mr. Jonathan, on the other hand, kept himself very busy researching on his new technology, while his last baby girl Valerie, who was 6 years old quietly came to him and lifted her face towards her dad putting on a very warm look saying “dad I really want to learn how to use a drone, can you please teach me”.  Mr. Jonathan replied saying “sweetie I guess your brother can help you with that, why not go to him, perhaps he might be wor...
