Necessity is the mother of invention. 

Black people are not second rated brains. 

Only men that can think the unthinkable can make happen the impossible. 

Possiblity mentality is daring the undatable. 

It is stepping out that turns dreams to reality. 

It is not the mountains we conquer, we actually conquered our self. 

Intellectual bravery is the key to global relevance.

No child of God is redeemed s loser, failure or begger. 

Destiny is a non transferable responsibility: you either face it or get faced put. 

It is paying the abnormal price that makes a record breaker. 

Everything that sets the pace in any field is at a price. 

To the diligent, work is like meat...

Giants have extreme value for time...


WISDOM AND MONEY AS A DEFENCE by Arome Phoebe Arome

A popular proverb said  "Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all they getting get understanding". Proverbs 4:7

      The word 'Principal' means first in order of importance, more like something you should not live without. I believe that once you are living without something as important as that, you are automatically vulnerable and defenseless.

"For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it" Eccl. 7:12

Coming across this scripture, I read several translations and out of these translations, the New Living Translation (NLT) got me thinking. 

It said  'Wisdom and money can get you ALMOST anything, but only wisdom can save your life'. 

With reference to money, it can get you almost anything but it cannot get you life like wisdom would.

The Complete Jewish Bible says  'For wisdom is a shelter and money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom keeps the one who has it alive' meaning clearly that wisdom and money are important but never forget that one out of both is the PRINCIPAL - most important.

Ever thought of how you can get money with wisdom but you cannot get wisdom with money? 

The wisdom Solomon was referring to was the wisdom that comes from God - DIVINE WISDOM; that is the wisdom that defends a man and gives him life, a kind of wisdom, yet given liberally doesn't fall into every hand. James 1:5-8

God wants us to have money but He doesn't want money to have us. 

As a matter of truth, God is the pioneer of wealth according to Deuteronomy 8:18, He giveth power to get wealth but never let wealth have you.

My simple message to you is, Be Focused! Strive  to get the PRINCIPAL THING that you may have life and even money. 

God bless you.

WISDOM AND MONEY by Debbie

Individually, money and wisdom are two of the greatest gifts man can ever possess.

 However, it is a game changer collectively. In our continually developing world, the quest and hunger for money as well as wisdom grows larger and larger each day.

 Primarily, to get money you need to have wisdom in a chosen area of specialisation.

 These two factors are very dependent on each other. An influential or powerful man is one who is seen to have a stable or reasonable combination of both money and wisdom. 

There is a popular saying which goes 'money stops nonsense.' 

There is a degree of respect that comes with money. 

Take this scenario for instance: A woman goes to a jeweler to make her a customised ring for herself. 

From her appearance, the jeweler has already assumed that she can't afford it.

 But once the lady in question brings out her bundles of cash to pay, the jeweler is left in shock and embarrassment.

 Possibly, the jeweler had already started mistreating her and offering bad customer service, because he was in doubt about the woman's purchasing power. 

But her ability to defend herself has written off any assumption had about her. Also, when there is availability of money, catering for one's basic needs will be done so comfortably. 

One won't have to think about his landlord throwing him out of his apartment due to lack of rent. 

Rather, such individual would purchase his house where he wouldn't have to worry about paying rent anymore. 

As it is seen in Ecclesiastes 10:19, money answers all things. 

The common enemy that money and wisdom have is poverty. 

The majority may think that poverty is only as a result of lack of money. However, poverty can also be as a result of lack of wisdom or knowledge. Proverbs 10:21 

If a person, has an advance way of thinking, it is probable that his wisdom would earn him a source of income. 

The saying which goes 'money stops nonsense' also accrues to wisdom. Wisdom stops nonsense as well. 

When a person is wise, he won't easily get cheated or mistreated. He would dim it unnecessary to engage in some arguments or conversations that could lead to a fist fight. 

As seen in Ecclesiastes 9:18; wisdom is better than weapons of war.' 

There is a manner a person would respond to arguments that would make the opposing party dumbfounded and embarrassed. 

This is simply because such person has an advanced level of understanding that will prevent such scenario from taking place. 

Wisdom is needed in order to manage one's resources. If a wealthy man has no form of wisdom, he is most likely to lose his wealth. 

Wisdom defends money. 

Also Proverbs 4:7 clearly states: "Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. 

And in all your getting, get understanding." (NKJV). Getting wisdom and understanding is key to managing one's resources (not just money) efficiently and justly. Once this resources are managed rightly, one would be able to combat both financial poverty and intellectual poverty.

 In conclusion, as seen in Ecclesiastes 7:11, wisdom alongside with an inheritance is good for those under the sun. 

For survival in this world, even the bible says a person needs these two attributes. Both wisdom and money is a defence or protection to survival in the world we live in. Ecclesiastes 7:11-12  

INSIGHTS FOT GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS by Kay Daniels

It takes faith to turn visions into reality. 
If you do not have reverence for Jesus, you do not have a business seeing visions fulfilled. 
Consciously reverence the viability of the owner of all vision..

Without a bearing, life becomes a burden. 

Only those going somewhere ever get to wherever they are going. 

Nothing is more frustrating like not knowing where you are going. 

To create a future, there is a need for a huge shift in thinking and values. 

Every reproduceable vision must be born of the lord. 

The worth of a university is in the problem it solves. 

Every skill acquired is first a personal asset, before becoming a community or global asset. 






MAKING FRIENDS BY ATILADE FAITH.

 



Friends, again.

Building friends is an essential aspect of human existence, endowing our lives with companionship, support, and a sense of belonging. Friendships are created upon shared interests, trust, and mutual understanding, and they play an important role in our emotional and social well-being. 

The journey of making friends begins with self-awareness. Understanding one's values, interests, and personality traits is important. 

Effective communication is fundamental to any successful friendship. Listening actively and empathetically to others. Making friends is not just about talking, but also about listening. Showing that you are interested in what the other person has to say is a great way to build rapport and create a deeper connection. Maintaining eye contact, and using clear body language all contribute to building rapport. Sharing thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and honestly creates a foundation of trust. Also being genuine and authentic. Being yourself is key to finding friends who are a good fit for you. Trying to be someone you're not will only lead to superficial friendships that won't last.

Common interests and activities provide a fruitful ground for friendship to grow. This is a great way to create a bond and get to know someone better.

Engaging in hobbies or pursuits that genuinely interest you increases the chances of meeting like-minded individuals. It could be anything from joining a book club to taking a class together or whether it's a sports team, book club, or volunteering, doesn't have to be a big commitment, even just grabbing lunch together can be enough to start building a friendship. Shared experiences form strong bonds.

Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is an important aspect of making friends. Being able to see the world from their perspective, offering support during challenging times, and celebrating their successes fosters deeper relationships.

Reciprocity. This is an important part of any healthy friendship. It's about being willing to give and take, and to be there for each other when needed. It's not about keeping score, but about creating a give-and-take dynamic that feels fair and balanced. 

Respect for personal boundaries is essential in any friendship. Recognizing when to give others space and respecting their limits guarantees a healthy and balanced relationship. Boundaries protect both parties from overstepping and maintain trust.

Building lasting friendships takes time and patience. It's important to understand that not every interaction will lead to a deep bond. Some friendships may develop quickly, while others require nurturing over months or even years.

In conclusion, making friends is a process that enriches our lives in numerous ways. While it may take time and effort, the rewards of genuine friendship and support are immeasurable. In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, confused, and scary, the art of making friends remains a vital skill, enhancing our emotional and social well-being. 

It's not just about making new friends, it's also about keeping the friends you already have. This involves putting in the effort to stay connected and to nurture the relationship over time. So, let's embrace the opportunity to cultivate friendships that can last a lifetime.


OVERCOMING ADDICTION by Kay Daniels



OVERCOMING ADDICTION

I was privileged to have found myself in the midst of some very inspiring youths in a university fellowship, and they were discussing among themselves various topics, one of which had to do with addictions. As I listened to them, I thought of writing something on this topic. 

Addiction is a complex and often chronic brain disease that causes people to compulsively use substances or engage in behaviors, even though they know it's harming them.

It typically involves three key components:

Craving: 
Individuals with addiction experience intense, often uncontrollable cravings for the substance or behavior of choice. These cravings can dominate their thoughts and drive them to seek out the addictive substance or behavior.

Loss of Control: 
People struggling with addiction find it challenging to control their use or engagement. They may want to quit or cut down but struggle to do so, even when they are aware of the negative consequences.

Continued Use Despite Harm: 
Despite experiencing adverse consequences in various aspects of their lives, such as health, relationships, work, or legal issues, individuals with addiction persist in their substance use or behavior.

Addiction can manifest in various forms, including:

Substance Addiction: 
Involves substances like drugs (e.g., alcohol, opioids, cocaine) and may lead to physical dependence.

Behavioral Addiction: 
Focuses on compulsive behaviors, such as gambling, gaming, or shopping, that provide a reward or pleasure.

The development of addiction is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. It is not solely a matter of weak willpower or moral failing. It's a medical condition that affects the brain's reward system, making it difficult for individuals to quit without proper support and treatment.

Treatment for addiction often involves a combination of medical, psychological, and social interventions. It's essential to seek professional help if you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, as it can have severe physical, emotional, and social consequences.

Overcoming addiction, especially from a spiritual perspective, can be a challenging journey. 
Here are some steps that can help, along with scriptural references.

Seek a divine help
The Christian faith emphasizes surrendering to the power of the Holy Spirit - our divine and sustainable help. For Christians, this could be found in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 

Prayer and Meditation (Power the Soul): 
Regular prayer and meditation can provide strength and inner peace.  
Injecting God's word into our imagination is a first stem to getting rid of addictions. If we can imagine the word, we can inject power into our soul. 

Storing God's word in our memory is another sure way to getting rid of addictions. It helps you retain the word in your soul and as a result get rid of addictive tendencies.  What rules your memory influences your imagination. Whatever controls your imagination create addictions or inspires dedication. 

Study God's word to inspire the intellect. Search the word until you gain access to the spirit of the word - rhema. This is a way to inspire the intellect. This is the birth place of wisdom - the ability to appropriately use acquired knoeldge - or whatever has been stored from God's word in our memroy.  

Crave for a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit to inspire the emotion. Our emotions get us connected, addicted, or dedicated to things we have imagined, memorized, or searched out. At this level, we need the fear of God to be entrenched in our hearts. Network with godly or God fearing people. Make the sanctuary of the most high your dweling place. Emabrace prayer, fasting and giving!

Make quality decisions that establish your Holy Ghost-inspired dedication.

Community and Support: 

Seek out a supportive community or fellowship group. 

In Christianity, this is akin to the fellowship in your local fellowship, student fellowship, or church. Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Self-Reflection: 
Introspection can lead to understanding the root causes of addiction. 

Forgiveness: 
Forgive yourself and others. In Christ, Matthew 6:14-15 states, "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."

Healthy Lifestyle: 
Focus on a healthy mind and body. 

Seek Professional Help: 
It's essential to combine spiritual practices with professional addiction treatment when necessary. Many faith-based organizations offer counseling and support groups.





GOD IS A SPIRIT by Kay Daniels

A young man sent me a message,
"Sir my friend brought up this question on our bible study group and it got me confused

Sir his question had me wondering if the breathe of life is the soul of man or the soul of man is the breath of life plus the dust (body) or is the soul another thing all together." When I listened to the voice notes, I discovered that his friend had issues with man been refered to as a spirit. In his words, he does not believe that man is a Spirit. 

In his words, "man is just a mortal being" Here is a my response. 

God (a Spirit) said let us create man after our image (spirit appearance) and likeness (spirit character, attitudes, behaviours) and this gives them dominion nature.

In Genesis 2:7, he went to the earth and made from the earth, a body. He breath into this body, the breath of life or the spirit man, and this body became a living soul.

 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The spirit man (the components of the breath of God) made the body a living soul.

God is a Spirit and they that must worship him must do so in spirit and in truth ...

It takes a Spirit (God) to relate with a spirit.

 John 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Man is a Spirit, that has a soul (imagination, memory, intellect, emotion and will) and lives in a body.

God created man, male and female created them....

Genesis 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Man is a Spirit, male and female are mortals....but man is the spirit nature, that is man that is like God  - immortal...that is the part of man Jesus said would would be quickened at the time of judgment....

In a male and female, there is a man ( spirit).

Anything that has its own life, has a spirit.... It takes a Spirit to speak to a spirit...

John 6:63, ....John 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 3:5-6  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

If a man is born of the Spirit, then he is spirit.

To becomes a son of God is to be born a spirit.....

John 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Spiritual understanding is key to interpreting scriptures....and not just what you think....

You need precepts (inspiration or divine ideas) before concepts (what you think)

May we receive spiritual understanding to capture and retain the truth.

Understanding Friendship: building durable relationships by Atilade Faith.

 

Friends.

What makes them so special? Is it the shared memories, the common interests, or the simple joy of their company? Perhaps it's all of these things and more. After all, friendship is a unique relationship that can be defined in many different ways. 

Friendship is a state of enduring affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust between two people. It involves interaction between two individuals who know each other. - According to Britannica.

Friendship is a selfless bond between two people. But one thing is certain, friends are a gift, and they make life richer and more meaningful. So let's dive into the beauty of friendship. Kahlil Gibran once said that "friendship is always a sweet responsibility and never an opportunity". That is friendship is a responsibility to care for and support one another rather than something of convenience.

One of the greatest things about friendship is the sense of connection it provides. Friends are the people who know us best, and who accept us for who we are. They're the ones we can laugh with, cry with, and share our deepest thoughts and feelings with.

Friendship also provides a sense of belonging and community. Friends are like family, only we get to choose them, and that choice is a powerful thing. Friendships can also challenge us to grow and become better versions of ourselves. Through friends, we can learn to forgive, to be compassionate, and to give and receive love. Friendship is simply fun! Friends are the people we laugh with, have adventures with, and create unforgettable memories with. They're the ones who make even the mundane moments magical.

Friendship is a gift, a treasure that should be cherished. It's a bond that transcends time and distance, and it brings meaning and joy to life. Cherish your friends, and remember to show them how much you appreciate them. Because life without friends is like a garden without flowers, lacking in beauty and colour. And this is true because we can't do this life with friends, or people. I used to think that I didn't need to tell those I call my friend things or whatever was going on with me and it just made me so alone, made life look less fun but it got better when I started to share things even if that is still a work in progress but I feel less gloomy everyday. Friendship enriches our lives, nourishes our souls, and makes the world a brighter, better place.

So let's all celebrate the special friends in our lives, and remember that true friendship is priceless. It's not about what we can gain from it, but rather what we can give. After all, the best things in life are not things, they're the people we hold dear.

Romanticizing your life by Atilade Faith.


Some weeks ago school resumed and it's my final year, I thought about how to make the most of it, because I want to enjoy every moment and savour it while doing school runs. 

Life can be a bit of a drag sometimes,  but there's a simple way to shake things up and turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. It's romanticizing your life. It's like a cheat code for your reality, allowing you to transform mundane tasks into enchanting adventures.

Romanticizing your life is like adding glitter to a grey day. It is about finding joy, life and peace within. According to the New York Times, it is appreciating what we have right in front of us and living with intention, no matter how mundane our daily activities might be. It is a reminder to look for moments of beauty and to embrace minimalism. 

It is being positive about things that life has to offer, regardless of whether the circumstance is what you imagined or wanted says Ashley Ward, a 26-year-old Tiktoker. In Dr. Loucks's research, he says romanticizing your life intersects with mindfulness in part by helping us become more in tune with ourselves. 

Many of us pay attention to the bad things that happen to us more than the good and romanticizing helps you understand that the small things in your life are important and valuable to your happiness. It is adding little to rituals to everyday activities making it extraordinary. 

Romanticizing your life helps to boost your mood, enhance creativity, and increase gratitude. You see things in a different light and become grateful for life and the things you get to do and enjoy. 

Romanticizing your life can mean finding beauty in nature, appreciating small moments, and savouring simple pleasures.

It's about looking at life through rose-colored glasses, that is seeing only the pleasant things about a situation. Your awareness widens to take in the details around you. It's all about creating your narrative of a life worth living. 

One way to romanticize your life is by adopting a different perspective on your daily routine. Romanticizing is seeing the beauty and magic in everyday experiences no matter how little. It involves adding a sense of excitement, wonder, and adventure to the mundane. Other ways to romanticize your life include:

  • Having a morning routine 

  • Enjoy nature, and get in the sunlight, especially in the mornings. Be intentional about everything, yourself, family, friends, business, and your alone time with God. Just be intentional. 

  • Wear that favourite piece of clothing, or jewellery. Gift yourself, treat yourself to a time out alone, dates, and picnics. You sef don try! Take breaks, go on walks. It helps your body. 

  • Save and savour your memories. Meditate. 

  • Enjoy nature. Try aromatherapy, it fills your space with amazing scents. 

  • Treat yourself to healthy foods, adopt a healthy lifestyle, and maybe hit the gym too! 

  • Go on adventures, it doesn't have to be expensive. I remember going on one with my ex~roommates and we had fun. 

  • Curate a Playlist for yourself. Have an after-school, after-work routine, Read that book. Drink water too, lots of it! 

You may not be able to change the world, but you can make your corner of it a bit more magical. Add some glitter to your life, appreciate life's simple pleasures and watch how things change.

THE SILENCE OF FAITH by Kay Daniels

Wordspired Insights

THE SILENCE OF FAITH

Simply keeping quiet when angry is a simple strategy for overcoming the spirit of anger. 

It is what I call the silence of faith. It is a divine strategy for possessing your soul. It brings to unison the imagination, memory, intellect, emotion and will. 

This is quietness that is reinforced by confidence to build strength that is needed to win battles. 

Isaiah 30:15  For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

Luke 21:19  In your patience possess ye your souls.

Receive grace to effectively coordinate your soul with faith - inspired patience. 

Every arrow of evil targeted at your home, family and finance returns back to the originators seven fold in Jesus name. 

All unhealthy noise and drums of evil chantings around your life is silenced now in the name of Jesus. 

Today is your day for a miracle.

PROPHETIC FRUIT FOR SEPTEMBER 2023 by Kay Daniels

At the root of limitless possibilities in the kingdom is the fore knowledge of God the father, through sanctification of the spirit unto obedience. 

This is fortified by the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ - the speaking blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. The blood of Abel speaks vengeance, the blood of Jesus Speaks better things like mercy, favour, blessings, grace, honour, wisdom, glory, victory. 

You can always count of the blood of Jesus! But to make this happen, we all need to know how to possess our vessel in sanctification and honour. 

Zechariah 3:3-4  Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

The month of September shall herald the taking away from your life everything that might represent a filthy garment in your life and destiny. 

Haggai 2:19  Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

Beginning from this month of September, you shall be experiencing the visible hand of God's blessing in every area of your life. 

Welcome to a brand new month, September: SANCTIFICATION OF THE SPIRIT UNTO OBEDIENCE: KEY TO LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES. 
1 Peter 1:2, 1 Thessalonians 4:4

Everyday of this month shall drop fruits of testimonies on your path in Jesus name.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF SURV ADEKUNLE MICHAEL DANIEL - 26 YEARS IN OUR MINDS




In Loving Memory of Surveyor Michael Adekunle Daniel 

(August 31, 1997 – August 31, 2023)

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18

On this day, we lovingly honor the cherished memory of Surveyor Michael Adekunle Daniel, who touched our lives with his love, wisdom, and enduring faith. Though he departed from this world on August 31, 1997, his spirit remains alive in the hearts of his children and family.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:38-39

Surveyor Michael Adekunle's life was a testament to the power of love and the strength of family bonds. As we remember him today, let us draw comfort from the knowledge that he is forever embraced by the love of the Creator. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, and his impact continues to shape the path we walk.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." - Psalm 23:1-3

On this auspicious day, may we find solace in the knowledge that Surveyor Michael Adekunle walks in the company of the Divine. He rests in peace, surrounded by the tranquility of eternal love, and his memory remains an eternal wellspring of inspiration for us all.

In loving remembrance,

Kay Daniels for the Family


LOVE YOURSELF PT.3 BY ATILADE FAITH.



There is a thin line.

Self-love, selfishness, and self-centeredness are often mistaken, the lines in between are often blurred but they are different. Self-love is about caring for and prioritizing oneself without harming others, it is doing to yourself what you want others to do. Say if you're good or kind to yourself, others will treat you the same way.
Selfishness is prioritizing your interests at the expense of others. While discussing with someone, he said selfishness is like having attention and not wanting to give it out while self-centeredness is craving attention, wanting everyone's attention for oneself.

These concepts are important in personal growth, and friendship because they shape how we interact with others and affect our well-being.

Self-love: It's about treating oneself with kindness, compassion, and respect. It means valuing oneself, setting healthy boundaries, and prioritizing one's own needs while still caring for others. Self-love is essential for good mental and emotional health.

Selfishness: prioritizing one's interests above all else, regardless of the impact on others. It involves disregarding others' needs, wants, and feelings. Selfishness can damage relationships and can lead to loneliness and unhappiness.

Self-centeredness: According to 'very well mind' a self-centred person tends to be focused on themselves and may have difficulty in showing consideration, and empathy for others. Self-centeredness differs from self-love because while self-love involves taking care of your needs and putting yourself first once in a while, particularly if you’re dealing with something stressful, self-centeredness involves thinking only about oneself. It is excessive focus on oneself to the exclusion of others. It can manifest in behaviours such as narcissism, lack of empathy, and constant self-promotion. It can create a sense of superiority and superiority complex that can be off-putting to others and lead to social isolation.

Overall, these concepts all revolve around a person's focus on themselves, but they differ in the extent to which they prioritize self-interest over others and the impact on relationships. 

It is important to carefully understand each concept because it takes just a little before the lines are blurred. 
In the end, self-love is about loving yourself in a healthy way that allows you to love others well and how they should in turn love you. Selfishness is about prioritizing your desires at the expense of others, and self-centeredness is a fixation on oneself to the point of ignoring others. By nurturing self-love, we can create a positive ripple effect in our relationships, communities, and the world at large. Understand the differences.

A DAY OF VISITATION by Kay Daniels

A DAY OF VISITATION

Exodus 4:31

There is always a day or season of God's visitation that brings about unusual happenings.
