The Man Who Existed Before Adam and Eve!

All of humanity was made to think, and believe that Adam and Eve were the first human beings to live on planet Earth, that isn’t true anymore, there was another man who existed even before life itself, rather than considering the advent of Adam and Eve.

Dig in here to find out!

ADAM and Eve were not the first human beings to ever exist on Earth. There was a model of man that was there before Adam and Eve came to the limelight. It was that designs that was used to mold Adam into existence.

Let me commence this writeup thus, many Church folks are easily swayed from the truth because they have come to hold too fast to Church dogmas, doctrines of men. And dogmas, as we know cannot save anyone, only believe, faith and trust in the Word of God can keep a person safe.

It has become increasingly difficult for lots of ministers of the gospel to speak out the mind of God based on say certain revelations they probably have received from because the people have become so dogmatic, holding tenaciously to used to be so much that anything that comes new, is not likely to enjoy wide acceptance because we have set aside truth, and left out the workings of the Spirit-we don’t recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit, anymore – to many, that is a thing of the past. But God does not change, He is the same God, yesterday, today, and forever. And anything He does or says, stands.

The scriptures says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it” – John 1:1-5.

Biblical revelations most often are mistaken for heresies by those people who are held bound to dogmas, or Church doctrines. The scripture says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” – Hosea 4:6. When we close up our hearts to God’s Word, we don’t receive anything from Him, and when you belittle or doubt what God has put in inside of you, you also miss out on His blessings or miss out on His desire and ability to speak to you.

When God speaks, He opens His heart to us, to reveal the depths of His Word to us if we pay close attention to His leading and prompting.

“And God said: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air…” – Genesis 1:26.

Thus, everything that existed, the scripture says were created but when it came to man, the scripture made it clear, “Man was made” not created. Now, what is the difference between those two words?

In English expression, the use of the word to “make” means that the production process, and the vehicle, clothing or whatever that product maybe, the design already existed. Whereas, the verb to “Create” usually suggests newness, freshness or innovation, to bring something that is not already there into existence.

Generally speaking, the word create means to produce or bring something into existence. Therefore, taking cue from our definition, the man was made from a model that already exists. In other words, the man was already there in existence even before the creation process began to emerge.

Otherwise, the scripture does not conflict with itself. Everything else was created but man was already living in the existential realm waiting for the full time of manifestation, and now was the time for God to manifest the man. God made the man from the model of design He already had in His store place.

Nothing was in existence until God spoke every thing into being, “God calleth those things which be not as though they were” – Romans 4:17 But man was made, crafted into the existing mold that was there and placed him is his position in the garden as a leader (tender of the garden).

What or who was that model, format, mold or design which was there in the Earth before it was rolled out into being?

Let’s go back to our main text, “And God said, Let us make man in our image…” So, this goes so far as to solve the puzzle. If man was made in the image and likeness of God. It invariably means GOD is MAN. And man is god – this understanding will put you on the pedestal to begin to work towards investing in the Word to have more and better knowledge of who you are. Adam played down on the power and role that God vested on him. This, he lost it all.

Adam and Eve was made strong, healthy, fully grown, and mature. They didn’t have to pass through the usual stages of growth. The normal lifecycle of the human being starts as a zygote in the womb and is birthed as a baby. Then, grows into a child. And becomes an adult. After which he grows into a senior (old age). But you will note that Adam and Eve didn’t go through those stages – they skipped three stages of growth. They were made already adults, then just grew into old age and died.

Adam and Eve didn’t know what infancy was like, they didn’t know what means to be a baby, and so they also didn’t experience childhood. In other words, they never learned to crawl, they never learned to walk, and they never learned to speak. They did not have any experience of what it means to grow because they didn’t go through those stages of life – they didn’t feel peer group pressure, and they didn’t have reasons to learn to work or develop their senses of reasoning or thinking. They received life automatically. They were made so perfectly that they didn’t have to learn or ask for anything because everything was already there at their beck and call.

Adam and Eve didn’t need anything, they had everything. They were a symbol of perfection in God’s creation. While every human being has to pass through all the stages of growth, Adam and Eve relished in the abundance of everything, they lived and operated in a system called in today’s world automation. They didn’t have to work for anything, everything came as at when they needed it. And they grew old.

God left out those other three stages of growth and development for Adam to figure out what and how to adapt to this life that he has just been given on a platter. God does not, has never had the intention to turn a man into a robot or something He will push or command around. But God put everything down to the man in clear terms. He did not hide the consequences if however, Adam becomes rebellious.

God took Adam round the Garden, and showed him everything, introduced him to all the plants and livestock in the Garden, which Adam had named the animals all by himself because wanted Adam to understand that he is a stakeholder, an authority in this business of creation.

For the plants, God communicated to Adam all their purposes, and uses and gave Adam and Eve permission to eat of any of them trees except for one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

You may of any tree here in the garden, “But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die” – Genesis 2:17. That’s the account of what transpired. When they are of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they died spiritually as they lost fellowship with God.

Suddenly, the automated life they were enjoying ceased, everything was been made manual, they had to work so hard to be able to get something to eat, they began to have birth to their children in pain and sorrow. Cain grew up, untamed and became a wild ass, very competitive, and jealous. Cain became envious of his younger brother, Abel. One day, he lured the younger brother out into the field, smote him killed, and had him buried him away in the wilderness.

We don’t have any news of whether Adam called his his son Cain to reprimand him for committing such evil against his brother, Abel. All those lapses on Adam’s part combined to negate and mar Adam’s leadership role in the garden. If only Adam had gotten it right the first time, what a wonderful world we would be living in today.

The fall of man brought with it too many maladies: Sicknesses, diseases, hunger, poverty. Every negativity came with the fall. Man lost the divine fellowship he had with God. God also lost that connection He had with Adam and Eve, thus, He couldn’t function well anymore.

In other to reconnect with man, God sent the person He consulted with on the day He was to make the man, Adam. Remember God’s speech, “And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air…” – Genesis 1:26.

I want to be more emphatic on the use of the phrase, “And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” it is very clear who God was talking to, and the phrase, “…make man in our image…” goes to say that God referred to Himself as man just like He called us gods, “Ye are gods” – Psalm 82:6. God is a higher dimension of man, while man is the lower dimension of God – every tree gives birth to its kind, a man will give birth to a fellow human being. We are made in the image of God, and so we are gods (God’s property). And if we’re made in the image of God, and we are men, that insinuates that God, our Father is a Man (of a higher dimension).

Therefore, God is that Man who existed before the advent of Adam and Eve.

So, man had every quality to make him a god before the fall but man never learned to maximize his potentials. He forgot what he was made off immediately after he had finished with the work of naming the animals. God consulted with you, brought every animal before you and asked, what do we name this animal? And Adam would say, “Let’s call that a pig, a dog, a duck etc” and that has remained their names ever since. How Adam forgot to warm his wife against eating of that fruit is what is difficult to point at.

Adam became dysfunctional in carrying out his role as a husband, as a father, and as a mentor. He failed to communicate unity, harmony, kindness, brotherly love, and compassion in the hearts and minds of his children. His entire household was in disarray, and dysfunctional. “Being family means being a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.” This was not the case in Adam’s home.

When God called Cain to ask the whereabouts of his brother, Abel. Cain,“Where is your brother?” Cain sort of responded to this question with aggression and a sigh, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” What did Cain suppose he was? A stranger in his father’s household? The phrase, “My brother’s keeper” has such a great weight. It is generally understood to mean being responsible for the welfare of a brother or other sibling or, by extension, for other human beings in general. And those were the very words of Cain. He birthed those words from within him but he had not the understanding of the impact of those words. Family is a tie that should not be broken in any way.

All these was the account of the first man, Adam. But God brought back Jesus Christ to the Earth to bridge that gap, the family ties that had been severed by the fall.

I want to take you back to the first chapter of the book of John where we started our reading. In verses 9-12 of that chapter, it says, “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 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.” – John 1:9-12.

Thus, God as Man existed in the universe before the coming of Adam and Eve.

Vision: For Your Marriage and Home!

“For the most part, every home or family is aptly and explicitly represented in character and behaviors by members of the family except for a few cases of rebellions.”

“For the love of money is the root of all evil…”

“The Christian marriage does not have any form of empathy for divorce. It exists on the tenets, “To have and to hold until death do us part…”

“Only if Nigerian parents would start giving their children out in marriage for love and respect instead of it being a poverty alleviation scheme.”
– Amara Nwosu

A dicey one there, to not have your own, personal conviction of what you want in a woman, relationship, or marriage is to leave the choice of your spouse to someone else or fate to decide for you. And of course, you readily know that the outcome would be disastrous.

Permit me to adduce here that, “For the most part, every home or family is aptly and explicitly represented in character and behaviors by members of the family except for a few cases of rebellions.” Because this is true, that’s why I made my resolve that I am going to go into my choice of a spouse consciously and prayerfully. I will walk myself on that path, I will not let anyone drive or push me on the path when it involves my marriage – I will take conscious and deliberate steps. Most importantly, my marriage will not be a constructed arrangement that suits the plans of some people – parents because that’s the beginning of doom for the party if they don’t have feelings (love) for one another.

Marriage for Money:
What causes problems in your relationship and home is the love and cravings for riches. Someone said to me some time ago that he is setting himself up mentally, the next thing on his agenda would be marriage, and that he would be marrying for strategic placement.

To strategize means to think of a detailed plan for achieving success in a situation. If I got that meaning correctly, he meant that he would be looking out for a woman who ho would enhance his success, whether it has to deal with money or whatever things he had included in the meaning of his statement, is inclusive.

The scripture says, “For the love of money is the root of all evil.”
– 1 Timothy 6:10

Money is an important aspect in every relationship especially marriage because of its capability to sort bills and take out tension problems and lack, smoothen, and alleviate seemingly unnoticeable skirmishes that arise in marriages because of the lack of it. But to make the desire for marriage exclusively a source or means of curtailing, alleviating, and taking out poverty from your home becomes a big issue.

Of course, marriage unites families to bless, lift, and upgrade both families because of the one that is better off financially. But does not make it a point for anyone looking for marriage to find a man or woman who is readily wealthy to better the lots of his or her own family – that would be an antidote for disaster.

Marriage is as important as life itself where human existence is concerned. You sell your jewels to someone who has value for it or someone who knows its value, and not to anyone who would make a mockery of it. The Christian marriage is not a contract that lasts for a while, it is a lifetime contract, as carried by the vows made on your wedding day, “To have and to hold until death do us part…”

So, would you take this lifetime commitment so lightly? Would you not be careful with whom you’re espoused? If you don’t care about that, you will have yourself to blame. You could act carefree but know that your success and life depend on it.

A Christian home is one that’s based on God’s purposes for every member of the household. It’s a place where the family’s goals are founded upon His values and where the corporate vision of the future is consistent with His plan.

Building and raising responsible and Godly children should be stored somewhere at the back of your mind as you choose your spouse. Developing a family “Mission Statement” can be a wonderful place to start crafting a genuinely Christ-centered home. The guiding principles embodied in this document should be flexible but consistent. From beginning to end, they should reflect your eternal focus and express your deep hope of seeing Jesus face to face one day.

A Christian home is where husbands and wives discover that serving each other in Christ is primary; that service to others in the outside world is built upon an attitude of selflessness at home; and that all of life, including the mundane duties of laundry, housekeeping, and lawn-mowing, can be sacred.

It’s a shame that your religious upbringing has left you with such a bad taste in your mouth. There have always been tares mixed in with the wheat, hypocrites among the saints, and sanctimonious Pharisees in the church.

We’re all fallen people, so there’s always the danger that even the best and most sincere believer might at some point fall into the trap of parading a mere “form of godliness” while “denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:5).

But that doesn’t prove that God doesn’t exist or that Christ can’t make His influence felt in our lives in very real and unmistakable ways. And it doesn’t imply that there’s no such thing as “a Christ-centered home.” What is a “Christ-centered home?”

One thing is certain: it’s not a home governed by dead, restrictive “religious” rules. Instead, it’s a place where family members live their lives under the “bright shadow” of the presence of the Son of God – where people speak and act and relate to one another in the awareness that Jesus Himself is an intimately concerned participant in everything they do. It’s a household of which it can truly be said, “Christ is the Head of this house, the Unseen Guest at every meal, the Silent Listener to every conversation.”

How does this “Christ-centeredness” play itself out in the practical details of everyday life? To a certain extent, it expresses itself differently from situation to situation. Every Christian family, like every Christian individual, is a poem (Greek poiema, “workmanship”) written by God (Ephesians 2:10), and every poem is unique. But there are some common features we can expect to find in every genuinely Christ-centered home.

Here are some qualities/features to expect in a Christian or Christ-centered home, Joy is characteristic of a truly Christian home:

Christian home: Having said this, it’s important to understand that joy and happiness are not necessarily the same thing. Happiness is a result of what happens to us. Joy has deeper roots. Every marriage and every family will experience trials and hardships of various kinds, but no circumstance can rob us of our joy if we know that the key to our present welfare and future destiny lies in Christ alone.
A Christian home is orderly: As the apostle Paul says, “God is not the author of confusion but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33). In an important sense, this home is guided by Thoreau’s famous dictum: “Simplify, simplify, simplify!” It is purposely not in chaos. The tyranny and bedlam of the world are required to stay outside. The members of the household regularly review everything that’s allowed in. Should it stay? Does it build up the family? Does it encourage people to value one another over things?
A Christ-centered home should be marked by grace: It should be a safe place to mess up. Family members need the ointment of grace applied to the wounds of their hearts. They need to remember that love, not perfection, is the goal. There’s enough hostility, judgment, sarcasm, biting humor, and antagonism out in the world. Home should be a retreat where the hurting can find comfort, rest, and healing.
A Christian home is a place of service: Its atmosphere is tempered and flavored with acts of kindness, respect, humility, and love. This is where husbands and wives discover that serving each other in Christ is primary; that service to others in the outside world is built upon an attitude of selflessness at home; and that all of life, including the mundane duties of laundry, housekeeping, and lawn-mowing, can be sacred.
A Christ-centered home is a place where spiritual disciplines are practiced: It provides an environment where every member of the family learns how to live by studying the Scriptures, praying, meditating on God’s Word, and spending time alone in the presence of the Lord.

Therefore, carelessness and ignorance would be dangerous handles where dealing with marriage is concerned.”Ignorance is bliss,” they say. That idiom expresses a circumstance whereby someone who does not know about a problem does not worry about the problem. The person never keeps up with the news or cares about the troubles in the world because he believes that ignorance is bliss.

In relationships and marriage, you cannot claim ignorance of the consequences that follow the love of material wealth and money. While I don’t want to sound disrespectful to rich people, I also know that pride and arrogance can come with the possession of wealth.

Marriage is not a thing of experiment, it is a “till death do us part” situation. It’s not something you want to try and if it does not work, you find someone else. This mindset developed by many is why the institution of marriage has been abused. Divorce is assuming a strong root even in Christian homes. I have deleted divorce from my lexicon. As far as I’m concerned, divorce does not exist.

If you love the man or woman you’re married to. Better still, if you are coupled with someone you love, you make your plans with them in mind. You will do everything in your power and ability to make him or her happy. Your utmost desire would be to make the union work (even if Christ is not the priority), the love you have for each other will push you into making amends anytime you have problems because you don’t want to lose each other. But where it is someone else’s idea, there’s hardly any commitment of your own to the relationship, there is hardly any respect you have for the person only resentment, abuse, and dishonor – God forbid it.

If you marry a man or woman, someone you love, you might not have everything you want in the home but for the fact that you’re happy, you find happiness, joy, peace of mind, and satisfaction because you have purported to uphold each other’s hands as you grow, increases in monetary and material wealth that makes easy your relationship in the home.

So, I’m heart and head bent on finding the woman of my dreams and youth. One who will complete and complement me. A man or woman of your dreams describe someone as the person you consider to be an ideal or perfect – the desire of your heart. And God has promised to give us the desires of our hearts if our ways please Him. That means your desire must not be selfish but pleasing to Him for him to give or make it happen to you.

I already have the raw materials required for material and monetary success. I’m only praying, asking, and looking to find a coworker, a builder, and help meet as God has planned it. May this be the prayer and desire of every single man and woman

So, help us God!

A Grateful Heart!

There’s no telling how wonderful I feel on the inside. It’s such an awesome feeling I have; so overwhelming!

Out of all the days, today, I have a strange feeling; a strong urging in my spirit about something special, something gracious that’s looming Lurking from something like a vault to the fore.

A new season is in the offing, I feel so strongly about it…

I woke up this morning with a strange feeling, a feeling of wonder, an amazingly special feeling. I’m kind of wondering if the excitement within isn’t just about the birthday atmosphere. But something else.

Well, I will find out consequently. Maybe before the day runs out…

With a heart full of gratitude to God and all who are close to me, all who have held my hands tight these many years. So much happened around and within me. Upheavals meant to destabilize and destroy me, only made me stronger and more resilient. Life threw curved balls it throws at us, but the Spirit of God helped us sail through and out of all those huddles of Scot-free and victorious.

Grateful for the seasons gone, grateful for the seasons I am in, the ones to come. Most of all, I am also grateful that I’m alive and enthused about life and goodness. I don’t have everything I want, though, but He’s always meeting my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ, Jesus.

Yes, there were times that I felt so tired, worn, discouraged, needy, and not willing to continue with life. There were times when I had had enough of the troubles and wanted to call it quits, to just end it all.

In all, God has been faithful. He got me to continue to push day in, and day out and not faint until here, where I am, at this point.

So, on this Special Day, I’m not asking too much from God. I’m only asking for a measure of peace. I have worked long, I have worked hard – I need some rest, joy, some peace. And to make this day memorable. It does not have to be an elaborate celebration. I just want something unique, one-of-a-kind to hold onto that will remind me of this day. And then, God reminded me, “But you seem to have some stalled dreams and aspirations, remember? What about working on those?”

That’s it! Now, I have received the sign I was waiting for. Now, is the set time to dust the archives to revisit left-out plans; to pursue and rediscover myself, to retrieve seemingly forgotten dreams that have been left lying fallow, and untapped.

Thereto, I’m going to be excavating deep down into the trenches inside of me to find and mine up all those forgotten and abandoned projects. Also, to trace the point of disconnect that brought me to this point.

The journey this far has not been a pie-in-the-sky and. It’s been oblique, tough, excruciating, and somewhat demeaning. At some points, I got stuck and thought of just giving up. Other times, I just keep pushing. And God has helped me through it all, I’m grateful.

For long, I prayed and hoped to find and to fulfill my purpose, to have my earnest desires met, and for God to bring to completion and fulfill all that concerns me. Sometimes, it feels like I’m just pursuing a mirage. Other times, it seems like grace is at work in a gradual manifestation of power.

But just so I don’t appear hasty, too forward, or merely jumping to early conclusions. I take my worries and cares to Him to ask His help with techniques, know-how, and what to do about everything. I seek divine directions because I don’t just want my ways to prevail over God’s. I want fruitfulness, grace, and sustenance.

You what? God has always told me in clear terms, “Everything will come through to you, and for you in its time. And now, is the time…”

What’s more to ask?

As a grateful child, I ascribe all glory, honor, and praise unto God, Almighty.

Unimaginably, I feel special today because He’s made me very special, the fact that He’s given me another opportunity to see this new year and maybe, just maybe other years. However, as long as I may still have to live this life, I know and feel very strongly that they will be better than the years already gone – that my latter years will be better than the former. And that as the time elapsed, I will realize that truth.

As the Psalmist sang in one of his songs and said, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” – Psalms 139:14.

There’s a fresh path, a window God has opened, and it requires tracing to unveil and rupture its contents because it is its purpose and vision. So, to this end, I don’t know what but I know that the season is very pregnant with special treasures to deliver for seasons to come.

Help me find that path, O Lord, and keep me faithfully on it and I will forever be grateful to you, for you.

A big happy birthday to me.

Pile Driver!

The willpower to succeed or fail is readily in you, given to and for you to wield it at will to your success or peril.

We all have something in us that can change everything about us and around us – the course of our lives.

Oftentimes, we stop at the nick of our breakthrough. We’re not able to push further.

OF all the arable lands in the nations of the world, Israel, with its rocky, infertile land is rated the best in terms of crop production. It is unimaginable how these people can achieve this feat considering the topography of the land or their arable land mass. Factually, it would be considered impossible to achieve the great results Israel has achieved so far, weathering the obvious storms their homeland was faced with: the rocky and hard-to-till, seeming infertile land.

When it comes to how advanced Israel is, it is #1 in 3 very important ways:

Agriculture by a curb stomp comparison to anyone else. Name one other country that turns desert into orchards.
The tech they create, though not by a landslide.
Military tech, though not by a landslide.

The real issue here isn’t about the Israelites’ success with agriculture or anything else. I only chose to use Israel in this case because of how they have been able to learn to manage such an ugly situation so well to create an advantaged position for themselves.

To ever get extraordinary answers out of seemingly difficult and impossible situations, there is the need to innovate, think outside the box, and bludgeon through iron-rocked impairments.

Another nation to consider is China, 45-50 years ago, China was a very poor nation even though Chinese civilization has been there from time immemorial. Its emergence was just about 50 years ago and look at the laudable achievements they’ve made in just a short time.

Life is a force, it drives us all in the direction of our natural tendencies: success or failure depending on the course of your natural resistance and resilience or desire to conquer.

As in the obeisance to the Earth’s gravitational pull on objects, human existence naturally tends into a state of inertia (activity or inactivity), redundancy, or failure unless acted upon to change the course of its fate. A piece of farmland that is left unattended to, redundant, and fallow for a long time can be thought to be unfertile or barren, not until the day or time someone plants some crops there and people now see the quality of crops that will grow on that farmland, that’s only when the fate or course of that farmland changes.

When you sit down and do nothing with your life, you will naturally gravitate into nothingness and a life of mediocrity. A mediocre expert the boundary lines of life to naturally just fall into pleasant places. So, that he does not have to struggle for anything, it should just come without stress or the strain of a muscle or brain or someone else should just work things out for them to claim the success.

But life isn’t like that, it takes a sweat there and strain here. And now and then, you’re checking up to ensure that everything is still in line, synced, and going in the direction you purported and not assuming a natural course. On a natural course, weeds grow on the soil, not crops. On a natural course, the hairs on the parts of your body grow bush, unkempt and undesirable. Whatever or anything you don’t cater for, takes a natural course – unkempt and destruction.

A pile driver is a heavy-duty machine that is used to drive down piles into hard cores of the Earth or hard grounds to conduct the construction of buildings or bridges in waterlogged or hardcore environments.

Failure is not only a product of laziness but that of wrong decisions, bad investments, and wrong choices. While it is good to not just loaf or laze around and hope for the right moments to take actions that will necessitate your growth, make sure that while you invest your money in a business, be sure to check the grounds upon which you’re investing, check the products you’re investing, are they viable or needed where you want to sell them? Your success in that business is dependent on your market survey. Don’t ever go into a business because everyone says that that’s what is moving. Is it what the people require? Does it meet the needs of the people in the environment you want to sell them?

Your lifestyle and attitude can also affect your business. A shrewd or good businessman will know the best way to relate with his customers or clients. If you’re always all frowny and never smiling, you drive away your customers. You need to attract and invite investors into your business.

Pile driver seeks to explain some of the things that constitute our success or failure in what we do. Why would one man fail in a project or business another is succeeding or has succeeded in?

The ability to drive the business and attract or invite clientele. Someone said this and I quote, “You can’t get in strength, knowledge, and or prowess what you can’t get in manners, attitude, and character.” Little wonder why some very educated, very learned, and most knowledgeable people still end up miserable, they fail because failure is not a thing of knowledge or education. It deals more with the core values and character of an individual.

Some people have made everything about life and existence a matter of competition, a matter of life or death. So, they attack anything or everyone that appears to be doing or working hard and well around them, just so they can stop or annihilate it. With what mind would you conceive ideas that would be beneficial to your emergence and which would you be busy thinking of what ways to countering, diffusing, and scuttling someone else’s plans?

Progress isn’t about whose plans or dreams you work hard to diffuse, make useless, or scuttle. Rather, what you’re able to do given your limited circumstances is to go beyond the limitations before you. These limitations may include handicapped situations, lack of technological know-how, the lack of machinery, etc.

China did not get to where they are today disrupting other people’s plans and dreams. They used what they had, concentrated on what they knew how to do, and kept developing till they got where they already were.

Pile driver is about pushing through seemingly the most impossible situations to conquer them and stand successful on the other side.

In my last write-up, I mentioned that no one makes progress, or advances by looking backward, or sideways but they focus on what is before them, and they keep hitting and bludgeoning until they break through whatever barrier is before them.

To get ahead in life is for one to develop a habit of pushing oneself beyond one’s limits, make it a priority to not stop until you gets out of the old habits of not working enough.

God knows that I am working my head hard every day to be better than my older version, that’s something I know that I owe myself. No one can do that bid for me, it’s my responsibility to improve from what ns who I used to be.

Just Petty!

You don’t gain speed, or make advancement getting distracted and disenchanted by the activities of people around you.

Focus on what you do, make it unique and especially yours, and see the great success that awaits your plans.

Do what you know best to do, and let everyone else put out their best acts also – the sky is the limit or about just the starting point. It’s big and wide enough to house all the stars we put out on the constellations.

“When a woman is beautiful, classy, intelligent, and confident, she naturally attracts hatred from those who feel intimidated by her.”
– Amara Nwosu

THE world is threatened by confident, classy, and intelligent people. It’s not just a woman’s problem, a lot of men go through this same issue. If you possess those qualities, and you dare to put them out to the world, you should expect criticism from different quarters. Many will tag you: as rude, proud, arrogant, and condescending.

If you happen to somehow not buckle up and be bold enough, you will sink in and allow such statements to bully you into oblivion or a mediocre lifestyle, not inspired, or motivated to go beyond your limits because of the fear of being judged.

But you would know if you understand human psychology and behaviors that these people are just being petty. Should anyone just accept to dance with every wind blows on their way knowing they have more superior ideas but give in to less valuable ideas because of the fear of being tagged?

Anyone who is intimidated by you would try to push and shove you around? They will tell unfounded stories about you just to retard and deter you. But you know better to maintain your position, resolve about what you have, and know rather than choose to go with their opinions or with popular decisions. Sometimes, it’s better to stand alone than stand with everybody if you don’t know their destinations.

Petty is anyone who becomes too careful to follow in detail the activities of others, not to take lessons and or learn to improve their own lives but to disrupt, scuttle, destabilize, and scatter their plans only to steal the ideas and make them theirs at a later opportunity.

Petty is a thief of precious time, and resources. Pettiness will not or does not allow you to choose and pick the right values, bricks, blocks, and materials to build your life. Petty is the word that best fits someone who worries about the progress of others, they wish they could be the only ones making landmark achievements.

By definition, petty mean meanness, someone or a mean person, and ungenerous in small or trifling issues or matters. A petty person shows or is identified by the meanness of his spirit, and takes petty revenge. Pettiness means secondary in rank, especially about others of the same class or kind.

Some people can be petty, especially when they nurture negative ideas or believe they should be the ones in the place of another’s success, not someone else. And since they have no idea how to get to where they want to reach that level of success they probably don’t have what it takes (the wherewithal) even if they believe they’re knowledgeable and well-certificated for it.

For such people, their lifestyle is clouded by competition, very competitive in their nature, everything, and everyone around them is a competition. Everything you do, the steps you take, the speech you make they take it as something you’re doing to beat them a certain game, even when you’re not playing any game – in their mind and undertakings, they compete with until you give in to their pressures and give up because they will continually recruit nonentities in that fight with you.

So, they get so busy paying close and too much attention and concentrating on what they do that they fail to work on what they have or who they are, to conceive or think of ideas that would catapult them to the heights they desire to climb. So, they keep scuttling other people’s plans who are trying to grow and move ahead to force you to remain in the position they are in or force you to accept their inferiority.

It’s important to cut ties with such persons if you have them as friends or family. Right now, I’m sifting friends and the people around me because I just realized that some people around me are not helping to push me forward. Instead, they’re like a heavy weight tied to my running shoes, pulling and holding me down from advancing, and because I have shown ardent resilience in resisting the clutches they put on me, they just hate me and hate my guts.

Recently, I learned a very valuable lesson from one of Bishop Jakes’s messages. He said that most relationships or married people marry someone (partners) who is 80% of what they want. But the 20% looks huge when you’re not getting it. So, they leave the 80 to get the 20, only to move in with the 20 and miss the 80. Because the only thing that makes the 20 valuable is, it supplements the 80. But if you lose your 80 going after your 20, you only realize how greedy and foolish you were.

But here’s the point about life, rather than bother yourself with what others are doing to get ahead, why don’t you think or consider what or how you can continually climb up the ladder of your life? I love Amara Nwosu’s opinion on the observation on the reason why most or some people don’t get ahead in life, “One of the easiest ways to remain abased, under, and unhappy in life is to pay too much attention, negatively, to those who don’t even know you exist.” She said. That’s a profound observation of this matter.

A person who is on a mission to counter what you do will consistently criticize, and inflict upon you with barrages of gossip, backbiting, and jealousy. But you cannot allow yourself to pay attention to what they’re doing, if you know the intentions, you will wriggle your way out of their poisonous entanglement and find your way to the heights you have envisaged for yourself.

One important element in dealing with people is to understand why they are the way they are. Well, one reason people make these malicious, unflattering, spiteful comments about others is that they feel very insecure about themselves, and this is a destructive way they have developed to try to make themselves look better. It certainly doesn’t justify their behavior, but you can at least see why they do it, and that helps you cope with them better.

Also, there are specific occupational conditions that serve to encourage destructive interrelationships among people. Some professions, some management styles, and some organizations seem to promote it more than others.

But there is a deeper cause which we need to understand very well, and we can find that in 2 Timothy 3:1-3, “But realize this, that in the last days, difficult times will come, for men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good.”

Paul tells us that it’s not going to be easy to get along with other people during the last days because people will love themselves and money above all else. Furthermore, they will not be appreciative, and you won’t be able to get them to reconcile their differences; they’ll prefer to hold on to their hurt feelings and bitterness. They will be malicious gossip, without any self-control or any desire to be good.

Does that sound like some of the people you work with? This is the real root cause of the epidemic of gossip, backbiting, and jealousy that we often encounter. It is a sign of the evil times in which we live.

Some environments are worse than others, and you may choose to escape the situation you are in if it is particularly oppressive. But you will never escape it altogether.

Well, it is a very sad situation. But why not focus on the good news? The proliferation of this kind of evil environment is a sign that this world won’t last forever! We may be victims of it now, but it won’t always be this way. I think this gives us hope, and that’s a good way to think about it.

One thing is certain, petty people would want to make you feel your ideas or everything about you is inferior to theirs only to play down on you to pitch themselves high, and give other people the impression that they are the originators of your very ideas if you’re not strong enough to stand against their intimidations.

Pettiness is somewhat an unrecognizable complex, those who possess it don’t even know or do not think it’s a complex. They feel, “Well, this is part of survival of the fittest. Beat them or be beaten by them.” This rudeness game is practiced to the extremes by governments – because they have the power of the military, police, and law enforcement behind them, they can take on anyone, siphon valuable ideas, and anything they want and get away with it, who is powerful enough to stand against them?

Many people have been hurt in the process, their pride is hurt, and their self-image and integrity hurt because some strong men desire to look, appear, or stamp their position as superior or better than others.

Anyone who is petty will assess, and readily classify you according to their assessment of your value. When they assess you, they’re likely to always get it wrong because, at face value, they don’t see any value in you. Don’t be upset with them, but don’t just accept their appraisal. Because the problem might not be with your value but their poor assessment of you. Their poor assessment might be informed by the fact that they don’t see. They have a plank of wood in their eyes and you have specks of sawdust in yours. The plank in the eyes has blurred their vision so they don’t see your values correctly.

The only person who can give you a real or true sense of value is God. That’s why you have to have a relationship with Him. Only He can tell you who you are because He knows your value and He hides it so that no one gets to use you.

They rejected you because your value wasn’t apparent to them. After they rejected you, it made you desperate and hungry for God. And then, in that attraction, He defines you as, “The mystery man, controlling your circumstances.” So, in your desperation, you cry out, like Jacob did. He said, “Now, that I got you and you got me, ‘I won’t let you go until you bless me.'”

That’s why Isaiah motivated the people, he said, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.”

Tonight, I also encourage you with the same words of Isaiah, “Arise, shine for your light has come…” God cannot, will not anoint what you present, He anoints the real you, the authentic you!

That is a message from Pastor Paul Adefarasin. It explains in detail the true quality of a petty person. First, they take a look at you based on their outlook, see no sign of greatness in you, or even if they see something but because they see nothing about you that will support or advance the greatness latent in you, they choose to rob you and draw their conclusions, “Who will see the evil we have done against him? Let’s see how he can get out of this quagmire!” And because you don’t have the semblance of someone something strong enough to wiggle out from the rough and tough circumstances they plunged you in, they only sit back and wait for your annihilation and destruction.

So, don’t allow the judgment and evaluation of other people you affect who you are. A petty person thinks that the only way to beat you down is to put chains on you, encircle bad rumors about you, and have people hate and call you names to keep your head bowed, and lowered down by calling you proud and arrogant.

With a critical look into the matter, you will realize that it’s sheer pride on the side of all those tagging you with all kinds of names. They subtly want to use you, so, they will do all it takes to want to clip what they consider as your wings, whatever energizes your resistance just so they can get you to submit to the pressures they continuously mount on you.

…Know Your Onions!

There are no perfect relationships or perfect marriages, there are no perfect human beings either. We’re all laid up with all manner of flaws. So, when we fall in love, we’re not expecting smooth sails all through; we shall meet people with all manner of weaknesses. And it will be our responsibility to work on knowing what works and how to please each other and doing those things for a lasting relationship.

Peaceful coexistence thrives on the strife to please one another. Love isn’t love if there are no rancors from time to time.

A typical loving atmosphere shouldn’t be one that’s only based on romance, it should grow on kindness, tenderness, mutual trust, and quality communication.

“A man is born by a woman, raised by a woman, falls in love, and marries a woman. It’s rather sad that men disrespect women.”

So, I saw this message on a friend’s page and it drove me to this point, “If that thought was conceived by a man, which I doubt, I would say it is possibly borne by some kind of ugly parental experiences. But if it was conceived by a woman, I consider it: selfish, malicious, manipulative, and merely a demand for power and control of manhood.”

Knowledge is key to every successful life, people perish for lack of knowledge. Relationships, marriages, and or businesses fail because people lack the wherewithal to drive the relationships to the great heights of success. While some relationships thrive and run smoothly, others struggle and fall by the wayside because the couples are lacking in experience and what it takes for their relationship to experience or run on that happy and peaceful pedestal they desire.

Yes, we want the best of everything but not ready to work for it. Life should fall for us on a platter – there are no such things. We get what we work for, it’s a principle of life.

The kind of love relationship portrayed there is based on selfishness and greed, it does not truly represent mutuality. So, when you talk about respecting a woman, what does it mean? A woman should be loved truly and thoroughly. If a man showers so much love on his woman, what other respect would a woman be asking for?

The most worrisome part of that assertion is that all the accolades went to women. As much as I appreciate your observations on this issue, I also want to point out some of the areas you seemed to have omitted, you didn’t consider the role or part of men anywhere in that assertion, “…a man is born by a woman.” Women don’t give birth without the functionality of the man, women still need the sperm of a man to be able to get pregnant. Except if she would prefer to go for artificial insemination, even then, she will still require the contribution of a man.

So, this proves true that we cannot ever function independently. This is the point where synergy comes into play. “A man is almost dysfunctional without a woman. Likewise, a woman is dysfunctional without a man.”

To put that assertion into proper perspective, I would say that such an assertion is just vague. In the sense that it lacks specification. What does “Respect a woman” mean? Who disrespects the women? How are the women being disrespected? What should a man do that is not considered a disrespect to women? What are the things that are respectful or disrespectful to women?

Yes! There’s no denying that some men abuse their wives, it will also shock you that so many women are abusing their husbands that you know little or nothing about because those men cannot complain outside the home about it.

If women can value those things, it will make it easy for men to ascertain their roles in a woman’s life.

Based on biblical standards, a man is the head of his wife. Therefore, the woman, wife should respect and submit to her head. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the man being the head of the home should provide and love his wife unconditionally.

If we do those things (obligations) without prejudice, there won’t be any reason for any of the parties to think its being or not being disrespected. Everything will flow smoothly, and unabated, and all in the name of love, respect, and submission – these are the ingredients that make for a smooth sailing relationship.

To Control A Man:
Just so you don’t misunderstand me, this part of the writing is referring to women who are married and have their husbands. Thereto, I make bold to say that a woman who knows her onions already has control of her man (husband) when she honors and submits to her man.

What man would inflict or cause pain or harm to a wife who is obedient, submissive, and honors him? The problem is that most women want to dictate to their men, which is the part most men dislike – that’s like making the man appear foolish especially when this disrespect is done right before his friends.

A woman who respects, honors, and submits to her husband does not need to worry about him spending more time outside than with her. It is the husband who would outrightly tell his friends he is satisfied and happy with their lifestyle as husband and wife. You know, there’s this suggestion that some men have been jazzed, made useless by their wives by putting love potions in their husband’s food so they can just turn and use the man as they please.

When a man enjoys the peace and happiness in his home, he does not crave the company of friends, he runs back home to his family where he finds love and peace of mind.

What things constitute the disrespect of a woman?

Women are easily put off by a proud man. Rich men believe that every woman who shows up around them comes for their money. Disrespect towards women is anything that makes a woman feel uncomfortable, unsafe, put down, or treated unfairly because she’s a woman. It’s pervasive! Often, it involves sexist and sexually harassing behaviors, like:

Making sexist jokes and comments.
Interrupting, talking over, and speaking for women.
Pestering a woman who said she ‘isn’t interested’.
Thinking or saying women ‘belong’ in certain roles.
Using patronising language with women you don’t know (‘sweetheart’s ‘love’).

I think that the most important issue here would be to ask, “What describes a typical loving atmosphere in a relationship?” Is it when the couples are all smiles, laughing, happy moments and no quarrels?

But that in my thought would be an unrealistic situation. So, out of this world to not ever experience heated moments, problems or misunderstandings once a while. It’s natural, and part of being human to express our weaknesses. It’s how we try to manage this nature with our spouses that makes the difference.

However, let’s take our cue from the Bible, which as Christians is our standard.

Human existence started with the man, Adam. The woman, Eve, was not in the picture of creation. And he, Adam functioned perfectly, without the influence of the woman, Eve.

But then, came Eve. In other words, in God’s agenda at the creation, the woman was nowhere in perception, She wasn’t a part of the play in the Creation process, something you could call, second thought.

If you recall the discussions with God and His Triune being (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit). God said, “It’s not good that the man be alone, let’s make him a help meet…” – Genesis 2:18. The woman was nowhere, she didn’t have a function in the process of Creation. She only came to play when God saw the nerd for the man to have some around to keep him company.

This was the point at which the woman came into the picture, “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make for him a help meet. You will also recall that Adam had already finished the assignment God gave to him. Adam had performed all the duties assigned as a co-creator (worker) with God but was alone because all the animals Adam he was assigned to named were male and female. God didn’t intend for Adam to be lonely. Hence, the desire for a companion (help meet).

I also want to draw your attention to this fact, God took a rib from the side of the man, first, to create the woman. So, the argument that a woman gave birth to a man, where is that part that says the woman was born out of a man’s rib?

“And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof..” – Genesis 2.21

When Adam woke up and saw the Eve, He said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” – Genesis 2:23.

If you are a woman and a Christian, we are not trying to make you subservient to your men or husbands but we desire that you be properly guided so that you don’t quickly jump into any teachings you see that sound good or feminist-inclined and quickly embrace it, don’t ever take to heart anything that is biblical unsupported. It might only negate and destroy your faith in God. Check every saying in the Bible, does the Bible agree with what has been said or written?

So, we encourage men to love their women with unconditional love, and treat them as their queens because your woman or wife was formed out of their rib, she is a part of his own body, “…bone of your bones, and flesh of your flesh...”

These things can only work if there is mutual agreement, which can also be called, mutual understanding. If both men and women come to this understanding, there shall be no controversies, there won’t be any uncontrollable or manageable quarrels between us.

There are no perfect relationships or perfect marriages, there are no perfect human beings either. We’re all laid up with all manner of flaws. So, when we fall in love, we’re not expecting smooth sails all through; we shall meet people with all kinds of weaknesses. And it will be our responsibility to work on knowing what works and how to please each other and doing those things for a lasting relationship.

Peaceful coexistence thrives on the strife to please one another. Love isn’t love if there are no rancors from time to time.

A typical loving atmosphere shouldn’t be only based on romance, it should grow on kindness, tenderness, mutual trust, and good communication.

You may argue this, but there’s no other truth than this.

Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, but a beautiful journey that teaches us valuable lessons along the way. Embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and cherish the moments that make life truly special. Live each day to the fullest and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way. Remember, it’s not so much about how smooth or rough the journey would be but the destination itself.

I did not come to this life only to wind up (end up) in hell, that’s the direction every wrong and troublesome relationship would drive you.

The bottom line is, that God desires to rapture a Church that is without wrinkle or spot. To make excuses for our weaknesses and inadequacies is to overlook the chastisement of God. This life is about retracing our tracks back from destruction to God’s ways and the peace, and joy He offers us in Christ, Jesus.

Stay in tune with God and walk right, stay focused, and always ready to build joy and peace in your relationships outside, in your marriage, and at home. They have the keys to your destination.

Think about that!

The Innuendos Of Relationships!

Half or lack of knowledge regarding a subject is a biopsy leading to dire consequences.
Two can only walk together if with a common ground.
Love and romantic relationships do not happen by magical means. They take the communion of the two persons involved.

“Until a man heals himself, he’ll be toxic to every woman who tries to love him.”

WHILE that sounds right, there’s no disputing the fact, that this might not always be true, and not applicable in all cases because most of the problems in relationships come from women. So, what illnesses would a man heal himself from if he is the oppressor in the relationship? Is it an ailment he caused by himself or the same disease, ailment, or heartbreak that was caused by a woman?

So, does that saying hold water?

Most people go into relationships, especially me, I have never and will never go into any relationship for the sake of just toying around with people’s hearts and emotions except I didn’t make the decision or make the move to ask that girl out. And of course, I can’t be responsible for any faults or anything that will go wrong in that relationship.

In essence, often, it’s very advisable to follow every issue from the genesis – know the root cause to establish what, when, where, and why every issue is coming from to ever jump to any conclusions.

When you’ve not walked in the shoes of a man who has suffered any form of disappointment, it’s easy to just speak or spew anything from your mouth. When you’ve not tasted the hell such persons have been through especially all the manner of phonies who never had any agreement with the victim, who only spoke with the wrong people to be in love with someone else only to make it look like this one is a jerk. I have also heard people say, “Don’t help people who are suffering because you don’t know the cause of their suffering. It could be God punishing their sins.”

The Broken Spirit:
One thing is certain, most people who rant spread unfounded rumors about other people on the grounds they haven’t the slightest inkling what happened, how it started, or what gave birth to such gross animosity against a fellow who has done nothing but try to be himself, stay afloat and keep the negativities from weighing him down and drowned.

When a spirit is broken, it means that the psyche is divided or broken and shredded into pieces instead of being whole (intact). When this happens, it is impossible to think straight. You can even lose a sense of who you are. You feel empty and hopeless. If you don’t know, ask anyone who has suffered depression or it’s like, it can take away the zeal and enthusiasm to want to live.

Before you think of pushing another person into a state of rejection, or depression, please, try to walk in those shoes, first, if you’re able to survive it; thank God for your strength. And you should always remember that not everyone is like you, they might not have your kind of strength. So, don’t even think of sending someone on that path, the consequences might be dire.

Unfounded Rumors:
The biggest problem of mankind is that we are too quick to want to speak, there’s no problem with speaking but knowing what things or issues you should talk about.

Where have we thrown that thing called, “Intelligence?” What are we using our intelligence for these days? Why have all our discussions been about how other people are doing so badly? Sadly, we’re not discussing it to bring solutions to what we think are their problems, but we have found something to laugh and jeer at them about.

The word intelligence is such a very rich word of the many words in the English Language. It is rich in the sense that it tells the quality of a man, his mental alertness, ability to reason logically, and acuteness. Human intelligence deals with many aspects of human psychology. It can be defined as the ability to learn, understand, and deal with new or trying situations. The reason is the skilled use of it. The ability to apply knowledge to manipulate the environment or think abstractly, and constructively as measured by objective criteria, such as tests. It is about mental acuteness -shrewdness. Also, the basic eternal quality of a divine mind. And so much more I might not want to script down here.

That was a mere digression, as humans, we should be using our minds for intelligent conceptions, and not for discussing people. Engage your minds intelligently and see who you will become in a few months or years.

The mind is a very productive engine that can transform and revolutionize your entire life, and turn around your world only if we would take the time to hone and teach it to work for our good.

It’s nice to be nice, and fair when we don’t understand what people are going through, your words can tear broken hearts. So, do you blame a man who has been consistently disrespected? A girl cannot cannot love a man and not talk to the man but talk to someone else. You can’t blame the man for going elsewhere when you don’t have an agreement except if her plans are malicious.

A Weary Spirit:
The usual thought is to sleep away, that when you sleep enough, you wake up to a whole new spirit and enthusiasm. It is not always true with a soul that is tired, and weary of going to and fro. It appears as if you’re making progress only to fall back to ground zero, the very place where you started. And it may seem just okay if it is a momentary thing, not a repeated and perpetual recurrence.

Sleeping it off is not an option, because weariness is a soul issue. But a weary spirit can cause physical lethargy. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary partly defines weary as “Having the patience exhausted, or the mind yielding to discouragement.” If we’re not careful, weariness can lead to depression.

The best you can do for anyone in a dire situation or someone you’re not aware of what’s going on on their inside is to not add to the injuries they’re already suffering do not weary their already ailing spirits (souls). If you have nothing good to do or say worthy of alleviating their problems, please, you can as well just keep your peace. But making or spreading unfounded rumors about things you don’t even know how they started can cause colossal damages, or raise bigger or greater problems. It can even drive them insane if they’re not strong enough or have not learned to hear evil said against or about them and overlook it. God knows what worst degree or dimensions of decisions they might be pushed to make.

Please, folks, learn to be judicious with the use of words. Choose your words wisely because they have a presence, words have life. “Be gracious in your speech. The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out.” – Colossians 4:6 (MSG).

People who worry too much are more prone to suicidal thoughts and decisions. Suicide, as we already know, refers to when someone harms themselves with the intent to end their life. The reasons that people attempt suicide are varied and complex, but they often involve severe emotional or physical pain that a person finds unbearable.

Causes Of Suicide:
This mental disorder, comes when the person sinks into the following certain negative misconceptions:

Sadness or grief,
Shame,
Worthlessness,
Intense Guilt,
Rage, or a desire to seek revenge,
That they are a burden to others,
That they have no worth or value,
That life is not worth living,
That they are trapped, either physically or emotionally,
That things will never get better,
Intense physical or emotional pain.

Why these people fall into such condition is because of the many negative words, behaviors and vicious cycles they probably have experienced. Sometimes, after you have tried everything you desire to do and is not succeeding, it’s easy to want to give up on life, submit to fate and conclude you’re a failure.

You don’t know this, a weary and ailing, broken spirit is very vulnerable, susceptible to sudden snap and consequent destruction. Sometime, when someone is suffering for a crime he or she commits, they feel that they’re well-deserved of whatever pain or outcomes of their actions. But when a person is wrongly accused of an issues (sin) they didn’t commit, you don’t know how painful that can feel. Therefore, be judicious with your words especially when you don’t have thr full picture or knowledge of the issue.

For a man who is going through stuff, whether deserved or not, here’s how you can deal with the issues. I’m not giving you theories, I am giving you what has worked for me. I don’t have to narrate the details of what ensued but I need you to know that this might help:
Sit with it: Be present with how you are feeling and why you are feeling this way. A lot of people would say, ‘Get up and dust yourself off and get over it.’ But if you never take the time to be in the same space as the situation/event and your feelings about the situation/event, you will never figure out what you might learn from this and eventually teach others about it. That said, determine how much of your life you want to dedicate to this situation/event. Is it worth a week? Month? Year of your life to dedicate to this feeling and situation?

Find the gift (lessons) in it: No. This is the gift: When you have faced the scorched earth and everything is gone, done, over and you are left there with just your bruised self, you have nothing left to lose! The options that were not there before are all in front of you. You can move, change jobs, start over as whomever you would like to see yourself as. You have the chance to drop old barriers, limiting belief systems, and that outfit you never dared to throw away because it was expensive. Change is hard but change is also liberating.
Know that never being the same and never recovering are two different things. Never recovering is a choice. That’s harsh but it’s true. It’s choosing to stand in the middle of a river and never planning to budge. Eventually it just wears you down and it is a great place for bitterness and anger to take root. Never being the same may mean you have some scars – but all survivors do. You may have things that will always feel like a finger in a wound, but you will also have knowledge and a different vision of things. You can choose to have it be a place of growth. Be well and safe!
For good education and proper knowledge, it’s great wisdom to try to know the genesis and real history of every problem or trouble we hear before we quickly jump to any conclusions. The knowledge might help you understand which side of the story to stand on. So, we do not in our gullibility join forces to bruise an innocent person merely because his relationship hit the rocks with some influential person who has chosen to deal with the issues by telling unfounded lies, which people have bought into and helped to broadcast thereby recruiting more enemies towards that innocent poor man.
Anyone can easily become a victim of planned destruction by evilly intelligent men who present themselves as agents of destruction. Therefore, beware of who you connect with as associates, they could be the beginning of your rise or downfall.
Your healing starts whenever you come in contact with the right kind of woman or man. Some blessings come when the right partner walks into your life. Your struggles will come to an end. After you have been used, lied to, and burnt too many times you become more wary, careful not to fall victim to the many scams of men.

Women are too quick to complain that they’ve been molested while they’re hide under that guise, they become the very agents and perpetrators of molestation. There’s no telling the number of men who suffer from women who molest them because they already have protection.

Whilst trying to just be yourself can steer up the demons in evil people. Acting right, being unperturbed, not worried and maintaining a nice and gentlemanly disposition can make enemies of you to those who have imbibed destructive demonic spirits that do not agree with humanistic and Godly lifestyle.

God bless!

Serendipity!

“So magical, like a picture-perfect moment,” you’d say. It’s like, in that moment, the whole universe existed to bring everything together to make things happen for you.

It takes about nothing to offend minds already made up about you, just be yourself and you will shake their tables.

It’s a gang up, and since everything you do, say becomes an item, always give them something to talk about.

OUR meeting was strange. A very unusual one. It was coincidental, to put it in the most appropriate words.

For the most part, it was rather circumstantial. I was distressed, working so hard to keep my head above the waters, to be buoyant and cognizant of the overwhelming turbulence, and the suction pulling hard to suck me in.

But I just can’t believe my eyes, I never imagined the sudden turnaround of events, I honestly didn’t! The feeling is elating, though. It is very sentimental and mutual.

Besides, it gladdens my heart, to have found my back myself, my voice. Pulling out of that state of near death, limbo, and oblivion to my new state of robust confidence, comportment, and equanimity is not something I ever envisaged. In my mind, I had almost concluded that evil had won. It feels so relaxing knowing now that the narrative is changed, no longer the usual “Used-to-be!” I can watch my steps right now, trace back to where I came from, where I had missed it, and where I am headed. I found myself back. I am now on the path of purpose, finding my purpose, and accomplishing what things I was destined to do.

The most relishing part of that ugly experience I suffered was my discovery of “Miss Wonder.” I wasn’t searching. I was just being me, doing my thing and kicking up to stay buoyant.

Surprisingly, to my amazement and all the people around me, at the nick of time, love and goodwill smiled on me. I had given up on searching, given up on the hope of finding peace. I had given up on finding for myself a good woman.

Everyone was beginning to adduce, “Seems like you’re too selective? Are you looking for Miss World? What do you want? With all the women around, you’ve not seen the kind of woman you want? You need to just decide for a woman and stop all those calculations. It is God who blesses marriages. You will be surprised by the sudden in your life if you would just take up one woman and make your wife.”

That were negative vibes there, yes, sounded like good counsel, and to be honest, some of those people were sincere about the things they said. But most of that was mere mockery and taunts, knowing what roles they also have played in disrupting your choices with the man or woman you truly loved.

The Cupid’s Bow And Arrows:
Do they carry love spells? But how can we trust spells for lasting love, spells are terminal. They don’t have lasting effects, when the target comes out of the effects of the spell, senses return and they choose to decide right now since they were not sensible enough to make those decisions themselves, they can choose to leave.

True love has no dealings with any mythological god of love, the Cupid of the Roman Kingdom. True love flows from above, Heaven, from God to us. When your love for whoever it is targeted at comes from God, it will be lasting because God-kind of love is liberating, it sets free and flows freely, non-stop, and unrestrained by any kind of barrier it bolsters through all barriers to rest on its targeted soul.

Unlike Cupid, who uses only mere symbols and look-alikes to denote and lead people to mere sensuality – love based on things, behaviors, seduction, and, or suggestive moves. Cupid has a bow and arrow that he uses to make people fall in love with each other. He shoots arrows at people he wants to fall in love with each other. Ovid tells a story in his Metamorphosis of Cupid and his arrows involving Apollo and Daphne. True love cannot be related to a Cupid, it will be terminal.

However, I was not even responsible for chasing after all those women who were said to have jilted me. Some people felt they knew better for me what I wanted. So, any woman I got close to became a target to be stressed by my tormentors because they felt that my eyes were big and that I was always wanting good things. So, to tame me, they would stress any girl that truly try to relate with, just so they could clip my wings, according to their statements.

So, just at the very point when I had given up trying to chase after her, “She showed up,” my joy and peace knows no limits, that woman, the special woman who is making my world go round.

The journey here was one mixed with all manner of horrible experiences: the good, the bad, and the ugly. It has been one of trying to push away the negativism, the lies, and evil adducements made and tagged in my name.

Keeping calm, strong, afloat, and healthy through the storms of my life has not been a pie-in-the-sky. In honest, my journey has been boisterous, one of bouldering through the barriers and giant boulders set on my every step.

Asking me to not have an opinion on everything I see would be telling me to continue to allow others to tag their every wild and evil thoughts and adjustments on me. Well, for your information, I don’t have an opinion about everything. I only have an opinion about anything and everything that comes to my table because I know the questions that are calling and begging for my attention.

More so, why does everyone else have an opinion and I don’t? I wasn’t the only person who gave an opinion, many other people shared their own opinions. Why is mine more worrisome compared to other people’s?

Frankly speaking, I don’t have any business to do with anything but whatever comes to the range of my ears or eye level becomes my people because the person who brought my way had the guts to do so, then, I have the right to speak to air my view. That was the reason it was posted on social media in the first place, right?

Why then am I not permitted to speak my mind, if others can? However, let it be known to everyone who cares to listen, you may choose to or not to read it. I will always write and share just about anything and everything God impresses upon my mind to talk about, and there’s no negative force or power that would ever shut me down or seek to stop this good thing God has given me.

I watched while people used mere gossip and lies to gather enemies for me because I didn’t have the means to defend myself. I worked about feeling ashamed and disrespected by many people who once had respect for me because of the mere lies they heard about me. I don’t have the intention to slander anyone but I will refute any lies spoken about me because it’s not in my character to be evil or annoy people. I might not be a perfect guy but I’m not as bad of a person as I’ve been crafted out to be – I’m not perfect but I’m not wicked.

You cannot stop goodness only to allow mere suggestions – evil and devilish vibes to flourish, at least, not on my watch, anymore.

The evil we are allowing passage, and grooming into existence, will turn around to consume all of us someday. It’s sad, what society would support wrongdoing rather than sanitize and build a healthy society? Except one that is perversive. So, instead of allowing these negative trends to continue to abound, let’s turn things around. We are not asking everyone to come and be a Christian or anything and if you desire it, why not? We will receive you gladly.

So, I was running away in search of some happy moments. But I found much more than just happiness, I found peace.

I don’t know if I should call it a moment thing, love at first sight but I knew at that moment that it was something deeper.

What makes two people fall in love without even knowing each other?

Well, the very question is quite ironic in its way. I mean… how can two people possibly fall in love knowingly?

You meet him or her and that person comes across as any plain other normal person to you. Though, you cannot deny that attraction lurking on the sidelines.

You have heard thousands of voices but that voice.. Ahh, that damn voice is good enough to make your heart skip a beat.

And that face, there is nothing special about it but still, you can not take your eyes off it.

People, talk about people and you have met many but nobody like him or her.

And by the time you realize that you are unknowingly falling for all of this. My friend you have successfully, unknowingly fallen in love.

Love is beyond knowledge, beyond logic, beyond reasoning, and that’s what makes it love.

And you know what?

It happened when I wasn’t searching, I was not looking to find a lover. I will say that I had given up searching. I was on my own, just trying to be a good person, and minding my business. Suddenly, boom, it happened!

Everything you do or say becomes an item for their conference to those looking for something or reasons to castigate and malign you. And since that’s true, try always to give them something to talk about.

Serendipity!

Fantastic Bubble!

“You live in a fantastic bubble!” She said.

“Yeah! I know right? But I’d rather stay sane than subscribe to the madness of this new world in the name of socializing or new trends.” I replied.

May we find the right kind of “bubble” that will help us understand better, and have the courage to speak against and combat the negative flows in the world.

FUNNY, they want to be comfortable in a made-up scenario to escape from things going wrong elsewhere in their lives. That is the base reason: comfort and fear. If they live in their illusion they can force themselves to believe everything is okay when the truth is far from it.

A bubble world is an illusionary state of mind or life believed to be based on fantasy or unrealistic dreams. It’s great danger dwelling or basing one’s life on things unrealistic and surreal.

True, it’s none of my goddamned business, you’d say, and I agree with you. I shouldn’t bother myself about issues like this. But I can’t hold myself either.

But it’s this degree of silence that has led us unto this position, the point where we are at – the abounding of evil.

Society is absorbent, readily available take receive anything that’s said to be trendy, readily open to stamp into acceptance almost any and every negative and evil flow that comes in the name of fashion – thereby abusing rights and privileges and signing into law satanic practices in the guise, “Freedom of living and expression.”

They say, “Stop taking drugs for someone else’s headache.” Are cured of the maladies gradually warming in and sweeping through the world in flourishing dimensions?

My friend, Simi Pamzat made a post on her Facebook page, Simi shared some very mind-boggling issues that stirred up my response. So I dared to add my view to her observations on the matter:

"I’m not an LGBQT apologist or supporter but I’m greatly bemused whenever people are riled up against them.
Whatever I don’t understand either partially or fully, I don’t judge or have an opinion about!
What makes you think l€sbians use dildos to make out or that g€y s€x is not fun or fulfilling? Why does it amuse or pain you that they do what they do?
I can understand when former Christians or Muslims castigate the doctrines of their former religion, right?
They’ve been there, done that!
But you that is heterosexual, why does queer relationship/dynamic rile you up so much, ehhh?"

– Simi Pamzat

“Hush up, please!

Let us breathe some fresh air, please. You can’t force everyone to your ways. If you love doing men-to-women sex experiences, we love to spice it up a bit, we love doing “men-to-men, women-to-women” or have both experiences. How does that affect you? Do whatever you please and let others also do what pleases them.” they say.

Permit me to commence my observation on this subject with your write-up. I noticed that you used certain symbols to write those words you observed as problematic: l€sbian, g€y, and s€x. Why did you not freely express them in bold prints as you did every other word? I will answer that for you because you know that there are issues with those words of all the things you scripted down.

Steadily, the world has nosedived… going down the drains as we remain silent, and watch as people do whatever they please, making decisions that have consistently negated norms – nature in its normalcy. And we say in agreement with the negatives, “Truly, how does that affect us? Since we’re not the ones practicing such a lifestyle? Let’s allow them to do as they please.” A natural life implies one lacking artificiality and self-consciousness and having a spontaneousness suggesting the natural rather than the man-made world.

Two phrases ring a bell in that definition:

Lacking artificiality and self-consciousness: This means not having anything to do with additions or changes by human alterations. A consciousness that I would have preferred if it was made this way, not the way it came naturally.
Having spontaneity, not man-made: This is concerned with a way of behaving in which one does what feels right, natural, and good whenever one wants to, rather than having to have planned things first. It’s good to make plans, though. But spontaneity makes things much more natural and artificial.

So, what happens if one day your son or daughter walks up to you and presents another man or your daughter presents a woman before you and says, “Daddy, Mummy, this is the person I’ve decided to be my husband or wife?” How would it feel in your ears? And you probably remember the oath you’ve made to God, having bragged before your friends or people, “As for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord!” – Joshua 24:15.

In the verse of Scripture, Joshua is making a declaration about what matters most to him and his household. He is stating clearly and without any doubt who he will serve. It didn’t matter to him what any other Israelite and their families decided to do he was establishing what was right for his house.

Simple, everything that happens around the world affects all of us. The decision of one man in a home affects everyone in the house. That’s why when a family member decides to take his own life and commits suicide, does that singular decision not affect other members?

Yes, it does!

So, yeah. It’s none of my business but one bad decision or negative turn in the society affects all of us.

Well, if I may say a word here. Truth is, I don’t know what it’s like being there but I know what it’s like to be on the side of reality and normalcy.

This is why I preferred to identify with the old school theology than endorse this new school madness that erodes the conscience and has made people cannibalistic, cruel, and less human than we are and should be.

Anything outside natural is a perversion and that’s my point. The pennis, dick, or whatever name that goes with it is meant to fit in a vagina, and not into another man’s shit hole. And vice versa. On the other hand, whatever the women (lesbians) do to get sexual satisfaction I don’t know. But I know that it wasn’t in the original plan of God or nature for the same sex to copulate.

In truth, the relationship between two people requires mutual agreement and respect in different ways. It could be a business or something casual. But where sex is concerned, it is a man to a woman and not otherwise.

Anything perversion is a sin and an abuse of the rights of freedom of expression and living from God, our Creator, which is the reason there are all manner of atrocities happening in the world today.

A perversion is a form of human behavior that deviates from what is considered to be orthodox or normal. Although the term perversion can refer to a variety of forms of deviation, it is most often used to describe sexual behaviors that are considered particularly abnormal, repulsive, or obsessive.

If we choose to look the other way and not refute the wrong practices going on in our society today, we will not see the wrong in them tomorrow. And if we don’t speak against them, we become complicit and abate this evil.

Sometimes ago, the mere sight of blood used to scare some of us. Today, a man will take the life of another human at a whim, not just anybody but maybe a mum, dad, sister, brother, or someone very close and dear to them because they want to make money – it’s sad but true.

Why has this evil become too rampant?

We saw this evil lurking by, but no one frowned at it, no one dared to speak against it until it came to consume all of us. And a time is going to come when the law will come against you when you try to stop your son or daughter who desires to go with the new trend.

We can make excuses for all of these but it will not make a difference that it’s bad. It’s okay to say, “I don’t judge either. Human physiology differs and you can’t expect all to feel the same way. It’s impossible to correct what you did not create.

Well, yes, let’s agree, you did not create that way of life. Someone else did, one man who in his claims has a more supreme knowledge of human physiology than God, is going about recruiting men and teaching them that God didn’t do well making sexual experience in the manner He did. He should have put it this other way.

Let’s assume your children, your son or daughter are also being made a part of the new trend, would you fold your arms and say, “It’s none of your business?” If not, why don’t you put in a word for the innocent who cannot speak or are ignorant of what they’re going into? We cannot refuse to face the consequences of our inaction when the time of recompense will come.

Yes, you did not create gay life or lesbianism, but your child has been convinced and recruited into a lifestyle that is alien to what you taught him or her, would you just stand there and watch as someone else tutors your children in a way of life you did not create.

I loved a statement someone made on the same issue. He said, “The compromise of a generation becomes the culture of the next…” – Dennis Madu.

The world is going haywire, and destruction is blooming, as evil continues to abound and the people who should stop it are quiet. Evil abounds not because it is stronger but because good people have refused to speak against the negative tide.

Speak against negativism or not, there’s going to come a time when you will also be consumed in or by the trend. I pray that at that time, you won’t regret having abated its manifestation, “A stitch in time, they say, saves nine!.”

Mutuality!

The crisis of our lives stems from within. If you’re able to reconcile with the person within; you’re halfway to solving your problems.

Mutuality talks about understanding the complexity of who we are to help us better relate with ourselves, people, and the environment.

THE essence of human life and existence culminate in who we are, what we do, how we live and relate with ourselves – the person within, the people around us.

The humankind is clouded by all manner of crises and chaotic innuendos that if not properly resolved, would lead to suicidal decisions.

In my opening statement, I mentioned the phrase, “The person within.” By that, I am concerned about how we reconcile and resolve crises and problematic situations within us. Many suicidal attempts or manifestations boil down to the inability to handle and resolve critical issues within us. Critical issues include work and money-related matters.

Everyone, men or women requires a steady flow of income. We have problems to solve, family to cater for, or even issues we must address and if we cannot cater to those little issues, it can constitute a big problem for us.

So, mutuality is concerned with understanding yourself and resolving the troubles you are confronted with daily. For it will help you manage yourself and people generally.

In my last write-up, I spoke about life throwing curve balls at us. Problems are not selective of whom they confront. Even the rich are confronted with all manner of problems because problems are in levels. The poor have their kinds of problems as well as the rich.

For some of us, the crisis within us all rounded: lack of money, loss of loyalty from people who should matter to us, dealing with betrayal, coping with people trying to use and abuse us, and many more.

Hard work, they say, “pays.” In my case, hard work seems more like mere toiling. They even added that it is not just hard work that pays bills, you have to add a dose of smartness to it – hard work plus smartness.

But the truth is, people just love to be called smart, they try to outsmart others to identify with the name-smart Alec. You have everything it takes to get fantastic results but are forced by all manner of phonies whose desire is to just use your hard work and ideas to get ahead because you have work affiliations with them.

Reconcile the Man (Woman) Within:
Being manly comes with lots of expectations from ourselves, first and the people around us.

Growing up, I did not know how to do any of this but knew that it was expected of me. Like most men, I suppose that I have attained some success in many of these areas, I mean the normal things one should do – manly chores like making sure that the things to be done are done, and those other duties that are related to a man I know how to do them.

However, deep down, every man knows they will never really attain the status of a “real man” (assuming that description is true). Life is full of needs – needs for food, water, shelter, clothing, transportation, etc.

Culture requires us to work and provide, to be useful, to make wise decisions, and to eventually amass enough wealth to retire. To be a real man meant that I would have all I needed so I wouldn’t have to work, and I let others do the work for me because I could afford their help. Real men control their environment. Real men too, should be able to lead their homes well and instill love and purpose in their family. Serving and leading with the fear of God.

Of course, this is a fantasy that never reflects the real world. We cannot achieve the nirvana of being a real man because we simply do not have that kind of control or ability.

As I grew up, I also discovered a worldview that has had (and still has) a powerful effect on men, called Feminism.

Feminism paints a generally negative picture of men, depicting men as selfish, sexually charged, uncaring, and stoic. Men use male privilege to obtain high-status work and to amass wealth without commensurate effort. Men are accused of desiring control at the expense of others. If men are angry, they are “abusive.” Mistakes are seen as intentional.

I could go on but suffice it to say that the picture is bleak for those who want to be seen as good men, providers, lovers, protectors. Many men lose their sense of identity if they buy into a feminist view. Men often feel beaten down and shamed if they express themselves strongly and confidently.

But to every man who would or has been able to go beyond this feminine definition, and still standing, kudos! Please, keep up the good work. Don’t ever let anything deter you, you are doing so well but you can do more, it is a question of pushing yourself beyond the limits.

In truth, the definition of manliness is so broad, that you cannot exhaust it in just one article (write-up). Permit me to infer, a feminist definition of manliness is that you would have gone beyond just being a good man, a nice boyfriend, or a perfect husband and dad to almost becoming an angel, so loving and Godly so that you don’t seem to have any faults, at all.

Put in your best, stay sane, conscious that you’re not alone, you have a partner, a spouse, and a lover who needs your attention.

As a man, go with God, and love your family and people generally because we are made for each other.

Yeah, so, reconcile with the person that you are because understanding self helps you to understand others – knowing your strengths, weaknesses, and abilities helps you be patient with others because it reminds or informs you of the difficulties it took you to get to the level of “perfection” that you have attained.

Go Beyond The Limits:
Oftentimes, our problems stem from selfishness – on both sides: males and females alike.

Where is that point of divide between men and women?

My honest answer to this question would be fear. If people get you to have fear for one another, they easily can control you. Fear is almost incurable if it’s been formed – this is why you shouldn’t let fear dominate you in the first place.

What’s worse is that we’ve stopped listening to our own life experiences with people, friendships, and relationships and we’ve started listening to the media that uses divisive language to push us into a state of fear about everything.

“God forbid I should talk to a woman, lest she feel harassed and I get labeled as a sex offender.”

“God forbid I respond to this guy who is talking to me, his attention makes me feel uncomfortable and I’m scared he’s going to hurt or kill me.”

So… yeah! The media teaches us to be fearful of each other and so we don’t talk to each other. New friendships and relationships are suppressed because nobody talks to each other.

So, I don’t think it’s just creating a divide between men and women. I feel like it’s an all-round matter; creating the divide between blacks and whites, APC, PDP, Labor, and every other political party, the old and young, the haves and the have-nots.

But you know what they still tell you, “Together they stand, divided they fall.” Does that make any sense to them? The idea is to manipulate and hold you in contempt. Are they succeeding? Yes, it doesn’t appear so but at least, they have you in fear. You can’t trust anyone after your many experiences with hurt and pain – you would have become lethargic, and just quit!

It’s easier to control a fearful population that doesn’t want anything to do with one another because they’re scared of each other than it is if they don’t.

I think the constant propagation and fear-mongering perpetuated by the media will be the foundation that causes Western civilization to crumble.

Sad, but plain truth!

The answer here would be to value oneself no matter what, and work towards developing a healthy relationship within yourself and the people around you. because this will foster a healthy society – willing to build love and trust within the neighborhood.

God bless!

Gibberish!

Naturally speaking, gibberish seems senseless in its manifestation, go with it, anyway, it will make real sense in its time.

Learn to trust some senselessness even in your doubts because they bring you a place of complete liberty and freedom to be yourself.

Humanly: Sensible sense makes great sense. Divine sensibility makes no sense at all but produces expected results.

Gibber!

To make sense of nonsense is to irritate your sense of logic and reasoning, ruffling the ears of those who listen but are deficient and defiant of understanding. Gibberish is life’s delicacy to humankind, so, take it and relish the taste!

How keen are your taste buds? What becomes of you after this session? A brazen-faced or a grouchy old self? Help me to not fall away in the confusion of words.

Truly submitted, I am, to walk in understanding of your times, and seasons. Keep me glued on you; properly lifted and aligned with your course even in my doubts. Your guide is a surety, even less understood.

I know it, and I trust it!
– Darwei, Timothy Jah

GROWING up as a baby Christian, lots of things didn’t really make sense to me. Things like, it was very funny to hear anyone speak in tongues, coupled with the fact of my Christian background, an evangelical, a non-Pentecostal denomination, speaking in tongues was a laughable matter to me. I used to mimic and make fun of the idea because it didn’t make any sense to me, the concept sounded gibberish.

The Pentecostal experience didn’t make meaning to my young, ignorant, and limited Christian understanding. Today, I have a big problem, not able or knowing how to pray and speak to God in a straight-plane language: English language or Berom language without bringing in tongues.

For life to ever make any sense, we must learn to accept and embrace that we call God’s gibberish into our lives and use it to impact positive change into our lives because it is amid this gibberish that He brings out our true color and flavor. Taking the treasure (lessons) learned from the experiences acquired grooms and transforms your life through and thorough.

Sometimes, life gives us reasons to doubt ourselves and give up. Life throws curve balls at us that wane and diminish the degree of courage, knowledge, and comportment. even with the well-acquired knowledge of principles and secrets of mind management.

It throws the curved balls on you and leaves you to figure it out all by yourself and when you have worked so hard to make meaning of the sudden murky fogginess and come to the end of yourself, then, you realize that there are things you don’t have headaches about because you can’t solve them up.

Why is it gibberish?

Because it is a meaningless or unintelligible talk or writing, talk or writing containing many obscure, pretentious, or technical words. Sometimes, when you visit the hospital, a doctor will scribble down something on paper and ask you to take it to the pharmacy or another personnel in the hospital. You try to read to know what the doctor has written but can’t make a head or understanding of what is written or when you listen to professionals talk, you get confused and cannot understand what they are talking about not because you’re hard of hearing or understanding but that the discussants are speaking technical terms (registers) that you’re unfamiliar with.

Curved Balls:
A difficult and disruptive situation unsettles your plans and leaves you hopeless or at a crossroads. Life might bring about moments to surprise someone with something difficult or unpleasant to deal with. But the ability to hold through, and get across victoriously to the other side of success is what distinguishes us from the crowd.

Many people snap and spew out despicable jargon whenever they find themselves in the curved balls moments when in actual sense, what makes, you, unique and different is your ability to maintain a calm, habitual, behavioral, and straightforward high moral rectitude.

I have come to that point in my life when I cease trying to make sense of anything I don’t understand happening in my life. I just take that it is one of those things God is doing in me that does not make sense and I just go with him even in my blindness.

Many things could constitute curved balls in our lives. A feeling or an expression of resentment, disappointment, or anger can be termed a curved ball (sour). A life gone sour or a sour life could also be when life becomes less enjoyable, pleasant, or good.

When there is enough trouble at every angle, when the love you look so much forward to comes to an abrupt halt and the relationship at the workplace begins to go bad, one’s world could look hopeless at that stage. These are stages where you would hear the common phrase, “I now believe my life has gone sour.”

They are moments of mistrust and misjudgment; a period of disgust and hatred, frustration and bitterness, unhealthy competition and envious, and at worst, the contemplation of suicide.

The ways of God are foolish to God and the ways of God will look foolish to any canal-minded person.

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their cleverness.” – 1 Corinthians 3:19.

So, I choose to follow after the foolishness of God, which inadvertently brings me to a good, victorious life than go with man’s wisdom which leads to perpetual death. Many times, I have witnessed God’s many ways that appeared senseless to me and in the end, I realized they brought about wonderful and overwhelming blessings to me. Why then, will I fall for the wisdom that will destroy me?

Jesus did not seem to be paying attention to what the men who brought Mary Magdalene before asked him to stamp their desire to stone her to death as the laws of Moses warranted. I can imagine what was going on in this woman’s mind when Jesus didn’t speak or answer back. I’m she was like, “Hmmm, today marks the end of my game I’m this trade. They said he is compassionate and forgiving, why wouldn’t he put in a word for me?”

“Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt. They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, “The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone.” Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt.” – John 8:6-12 (MSG).

Mary Magdalene watched as these men left the spot one after another until everyone was gone and left her standing before him while he was still bent down and writing. When Jesus raised his head again, there was no one there except for the woman. And Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” – John 8:10-11

That was the gibberish Jesus cooked for Mary Magdalene with faithful to the laws of Moses, and it paid Mary off. She got her salvation and that turned around her life forever.

Mary Magdalene became the woman who became an ardent follower of Christ even after His death.

Too many speciations streamed, who knows whether part of the spilled anger from those days of her salvation from those who sought her life to destroy it. Recent movies came up to slander Jesus’ integrity by claiming that Mary Magdalene was the woman Jesus had as a girlfriend or lover if you want to put it in that light.

You know as well as I do, that such misconduct and disrespect of our savior and master can only come from disgruntled men, devoid of common sense and decorum to want to heap such scandalous slander against a man whose only sin was to love and give up his own life to take away their, our sins and make us cleansed and presentable before His Heavenly Father as washed and cleansed of every aorta of sin stain that was hanging on our heads – destroyers of goodness.

If He could save a prostitute, how much more, you? Turn to Him, He is loving and compassionate.

God bless
