THE MYSTERY OF THE HEAD

When I was young and in the village, my late father used to do some special traditional prayers and oblation. And during the prayer process, he would hold his head with his two hands and begin to make positive pronouncements. Because I was closer to my father, he would sometimes tell me some hidden ancient wisdom and secrets. So, I asked him, "Father, what is special about your head that you always hold in your two hands when doing oblations?" He replied, "Femi, ori eni ni awure. Ori eni ni ngbere koni." Meaning, “our head is the custodian of wealth and our head is an attractor of blessing, favour and fortune.” And he counselled me to always make pronouncements with both hands holding my head. He said that whatever I use my mouth to say to my head is what would happen. That, it's the ancient secrets that never fail. Why the head? What is so significant about the head? What is the mystery surrounding the head? I queried! The head is the most important part of the

STOP BEING A “YES” PERSON!

It is human nature to feel recognised, to be part of the system, to be part of the moving train, to be part of a team, to be part of a group or society, and to be the “good person” in the “good book” of other people. You are definitely living in an illusion! You can’t always say YES to everybody! Dare to be different in a world where everyone is the same: see alike, talk alike, reason alike, think alike and do things alike, like puppets! Dare to be different in a world characterized by stereotypes! Get out of the box! To think is to differ. Thinkers are change makers. Those who think don’t sink. According to Clarence Darrow, "A man without the capacity to think is dead; he has no purpose, no present, and no future." Know that, you have no COPY in this world, because you are created UNIQUE, and a RARE SPECIES! (Psalm 139:14) Standout and be known for something! Be objective and real! The world will adjust to “YOU”! When you have a stand, people will stand with you! Always lear

EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE!

The world has been described as a moving train. If you don’t join the train, you will be left behind. In order not to be left behind, you MUST constantly EVOLVE and INNOVATE, otherwise, you will DISSOLVE and DISAPPEAR! To sustain your relevance and remain a man or woman of value, you need to always strive to evolve. Life is a moving, breathing thing. We have to be willing and intentional to constantly evolve in every area of our endeavor. Perfection is constant transformation, a change from the norm. The most dangerous thing to do in life is not to evolve, you will dissolve. It is either you evolve or disappear into oblivion. If you fail to evolve, you will soon see yourself as irrelevant and of no value to society. Society itself will abandon you because you have no value to offer anymore! When you are perceived as a man or woman of value, you attract honour, respect, and even money! The Holy Book says, “The gift of a man will make a way for him, he shall stand before kings and not

COMPLETE, NOT COMPETE!

In life, no one is complete. We are created to complete one another. This means, no man is an island by himself whether in knowledge, wisdom, skill or expertise. No man has the exclusivity of everything. We are not created to be independent but dependent on each other. We are created to complement each other. Know that what you don't have, someone has and what others don't have, you have. This is the vagaries of life! It makes the world interdependent! It's ignorant to say, "I don't need anyone, I can do it alone." no. You can't do it alone! Even if you are a multi-billionaire, your money cannot do everything for you. You still need the services of others, to complete your needs. When god created Adam, he knew he was not complete. He decided to create eve to complete him as a suitable helper, not to compete with him in authority. We must understand and appreciate the fact that, we are created with some imperfections and weaknesses. No perfect human being o

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH?

If I Asked One Hundred People In The Upper Echelon Of Life, What They Are Worth In Life, All Of Them Would Certainly Tell Me Their Worth In Nairas, Dollars, Pounds, Multiple Estates, Fat Bank Accounts, Several Companies, Private Jets, Or Yachts, And Fleet Of Cars, Etc. Unfortunately, Let Me Shock You, That Is Not Your Worth In Life! Your Worth Is Just A Free Tiny, Invisible One Microseconds Of Air You Breathe. Know That No One Is Worth More Than The Air They Breathe. Once It Stops, That Is The End Of All Life Struggles, Dreams, And Aspirations! Your Breath Determines Your State Of Health And Your State Of Health Determines Your Ability To Make Wealth. When You Are Still Breathing, You Can Aspire To Acquire Material Things Of Life. This Is Your Secondary Worth (Job 14:11; Ecclesiastes 9:4-5). Understand That, Nobody In Life Is Worth Anything In This World, No Matter Your Position, Wealth, And Status. It's Pride To Say, "I Know My Worth; I Can't Stoop Low To Mix With Suc

RESERVE TO PRESERVE

Did you know that, self-reservation is one of the keys to self-preservation in life? Self-reservation has positive impacts on how we live, relate, achieve purpose and are perceived by others. Therefore; - Reserve your words and preserve your integrity: A man of few words is feared and honoured. Be unpredictable. Let people keep guessing what you will say or not say. It confuses your adversaries. - Reserve your dream and preserve your future: Learn from Joseph in the Bible. If not for God's grace and mercy, he would have died with his dream by telling his enemies. Not everyone is happy with your dream! Keep your mouth shut. Do not tell everyone your dream. You don't know who is your dream killer. Let people see the dream fulfilled, rather than prematurely telling them. - Reserve your anger and preserve your life from untimely death and destruction: Anger is a destiny destroyer. Preserve your destiny and future from anger trap. - Reserve your finance to prevent future annoyanc

THE MORE IN LESS!

Did you know that owning fewer things can actually increase your happiness, well-being and long life? How many times have you heard the saying, "the more the merrier."? But in most cases, the more, the messier, not merrier. Often time, more of some things implies more of troubles and problems. Moderation is the key! (Philippians 4:5) From the lens of the scripture, the bible says, “the sleep of a laborer is sweet but the wealth of a rich man will not permit him to sleep."(Ecclesiastes 5:12). This means the more of wealth or riches, the less of sleep and peace of mind! Let me shock you, wealth, and abundance of it does not guarantee lasting happiness and peace of mind! There is another adage that says "too much of everything is bad." Research shows that, owning too many things can make us feel stressed, anxious, insecure, and depressed. Over time, owning too much of some things takes a mental and emotional toll on us. We become captives of those material thin

WISDOM -THE ELIXIR FOR SUCCESSFUL LIVING

In a world where results speak louder than efforts, where relationships bloom in prosperity but wither in adversity, and where silence holds more power than words, the essence of wisdom shines brightly. Wisdom comes from deep life's experiences, and it's usually hard-earned. Sometimes, few words convey powerful meanings than lengthy words. These short wisdom nuggets say a lot with just a few words, and the profound truths serves as a reminder of the importance of wisdom in guiding our actions, as we navigate the ocean of life: 1. People are not interested in your efforts; they want to see your results. They are interested in what is in your hands than what is in your heart. 2. My father told me, “poverty is an orphan but riches have many relations and friends.” Work hard so that poverty can become your enemy! 3. You don't have true friends or relations until you have problems. Even your shadow sometimes leaves you in darkness. 4. Favour is the invaluable ingredients that

RUSH AND CRUSH!

I have been wondering, why is everybody always rushing in life? There is so much rat race in the human race! The simple short answers are: - The fear of impatience. - Because we feel we are late. - Lack of understanding of God’s timing There are always dangers and risks associated with RUSH-ing; you may be stampeded or you stampede someone in the game of life. RUSH syndrome manifests when we have not planned our time or life very well. This happens when we discover that we are getting late in achieving success in some areas of our lives; marriage, career, education, ministry, or even business. Hear me; nothing done in haste (RUSH) ends well, because you are prone to errors and mistakes. Rushing happens when people, including family and friends, are mocking you by saying that you have not achieved some things at a certain age! Then, you begin to fret and get agitated, looking for a faster solution. In fact, because of anxiety, the devil suggests to you a faste

ANGER: WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION (WMD)

If I ask you to name one weapon of mass destruction that you know, you would probably name: nuclear or atomic bomb, ballistic missile, intercontinental ballistic missile, biological weapon, chemical weapon or hydrogen bomb. You are very correct! But let me tell you that, the most potent weapon of mass destruction that the devil has used, is using and will continue to use to obliterate dreams, goals, aspiration and destinies is ANGER! Life is too short to go to be angry! Yes, you heard me right! Lives have been destroyed, relationships have been demolished, nations have perished, generations have been put in bondage of curses, destinies have been aborted, and glories have been buried, all because of lack of control over anger. One thing we must know is that, anger is a spirit-demonic spirit of destruction. Sometimes, I hear people say, “It’s my nature or my weakness”, whenever they display anger. Hey, don’t you know that, the devil uses your weakness to set trap for you in order to dest
