1. DIVINE INVESTMENT

Man is God's investment upon the earth, the earth, He made man cultivate, decorate and make the world inhabitable for all creation. Man in God's eyes is a cultivator and a preserver, but over years’ man has lost touch of this dimension in God, instead of cultivating and preserving, he is destroying.

For example, the inventions of men are putting the world on a verge of extinction, today we hear of depletion of the Ozone layer, aberrations created by science, such as turning men into women and women into men. The world has gone gaga... 

what are doing about it? or what are doing to make a positive change?

you're God's solution to the earth.

2.    THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE 

There is need for man to rediscover his purpose, and unleash his potentials to make things right, God cannot do it for us, He has equipped us with all we need to legislate here on earth. The earth is in our hands, whatever becomes of it, is our choice. 

    This is a very important question, it is paramount for everyone, both men and women to answer this question. I regret to say this, that there are billions who go to the grave without a clue of what they are living for, they came they saw and they disappeared without making any mark. 

Across the borders of the earth, from Asia to America, Africa to Europe are people who still believe 'what will be will be.' So many live below standard, countries keep spending billions of dollars to alleviate poverty, but are unsuccessful. Why? 

Because more money will not eradicate poverty, fulfilling purpose will. 

I'll like to state clearly, "More money will not eradicate poverty, it is a fulfilling purpose that will." A man who has discovered his reason for existing cannot beg for bread. 

Check! Those who live from hand to mouth, if they have discovered purpose? They haven't, a man of purpose is one who is living his dream, he can never lack bread as far as he is diligent. (Proverb 22:29).


 

3. WHAT ARE YOU LIVING FOR?

This question has been on my mind since I was a boy, up on till now it still rings in my mind. As a young boy I always wanted to do be different, do something different. Because of this I built systems around my life, I had to Imbibe certain principles that shaped my life. Growing up wasn't easy, because it was as if society has been configured to fight against certain positive attitudes and character traits. There are so many distractions, things that appears to be the best options, sometimes they look like the easy way out or the shortcut to where you’re ending to, but they’re just unnecessary distractions, be careful, be vigilant, be determined and ready to work and walk alone if you are sincere and serious about making a difference with your life.

When I answered this question, it defined my life, I discover I had to let many things go and even friends and acquaintance. Answering this question will pattern your life and give a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

Dear friend if you are yet to answer this question now is the best time to answer it, remember time waits for no one.


 

4. SOME DANGERS OF NOT ANSWERING THIS QUESTION?

1. You become a victim of your environment.

"Until you answer this question you will continue becoming a shadow of your true self and a victim of your environment."

The environment where your group matters a lot, it determines what you become tomorrow a large existent, except you grow beyond your environment. 

 

CAN A MAN GROW BEYOND HIS ENVIRONMENT?

 

Yes! How? A man grows beyond his environment by building your capacity, every environment has a culture, there is always something it is known for your ability to rise above the norm and make an indelible mark will distinguish you from the rest. 

I have heard of people who grew up in the village and ended up becoming presidents of countries, some of their parents were very poor. 

Some grew up in a hostile environment but rose up to become men and women of influence. Are you a victim of your environment or a victor in your environment?

Myles Munroe of blessed memory said something that struck my heart, he said (paraphrase), "I'm in the Bahamas, I don't struggle to go to the rest of the world, they struggle to come to me in the Bahamas. "

You can impact the world from anywhere, but first, start from where you are. 

2. TRYING TO IMITATE OTHERS. 

There are some that live in bondage because they try to be like others, they intentionally cast their true self into oblivion, and took up a life that keeps frustrating them and stealing their joy. 

A great man once said, "Imitation leads to limitation." John Mason. 

The reason why people try to be photocopy other than being original is that it seems to be the easy way out. But that is a very fat lie! 

It is more cumbersome to become like another person than be yourself, the reason is;

a. You'll only end up a second fido, you can never be original. 

b. Your destiny will be delayed if you're not carefully denied.

c. People will accept the original before having anything to do with the photocopy. For example, in the law court, photocopies are only accepted when the originals are nowhere to be found. 

d. Nobody will take you seriously.

There is nothing like being yourself, it gives you satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. 

It is very Sacrosanct that you discover what it is you're looking for and be yourself! 

3. YOU'LL END UP A MEDIOCRE:

This is the state of many of our parents, that’s why they try to force their dreams on their children. Many parents while they were young had big dreams and visions, but only to grow up, they discover they had exchanged it for a common coat. They sacrificed it on the altar of pleasure, excuses, and indiscipline.

They enjoyed themselves and forgot about their destiny. They failed to realize that generations are awaiting their emergence, and they never did emerge. What a shame?

What do you want to be remembered for?

What memory do you want the next generation to have of you?

The way you’re living your life, do you think it will amount to anything?

The choice is left for you to make.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"A fulfilled life is worth more than a thousand years of mediocrity." Clarkson O. Adebayo

“Our goal should be to fulfill our glorious destiny, and not to be popular.” Clarkson O. Adebayo

POEM TITLED: WHO ARE YOU?

  Perhaps, we are not afraid to die But of our kin vanishing when we stagger with cravings Of our voices echoing in empty homes Empty homes that once roared with thrill and glee For if we sit and think of the life a single breath holds, How shortly a name sticks in our mouths, And how very shortly it vanishes We will be still With purpose in our eyes, we roam the earth The lies we live guard against reality and true persona The alarm goes off, We jump into the streets to a place we many a time hate To an environment that gives our souls treachery colours Time is a monster When it takes, it takes everything Do you know why we write our names on things? Perchance if your answer is same as mine, We should write our names on our bodies too. Then again, we do not. Because we own ourselves? No That golden recollection of who we are is what we own Especially in a world that forgets The silence can stroll in anytime The lips that once said our names will shut their doors You see, warnings ...

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, TOPIC: I AM A WOMAN

  I Am A Woman INTRODUCTION: After birth, as we grew, we were taught to understand the implication of our gender, the consequences of making wrong actions and attributes that distinguish you from the male gender. For some of us, we raised questions, our minds wondered ‘Why is it so hard to be a woman or a girl, as the case may be?’ But other times, we uttered words like ‘Thank God I'm not a man'. So we found ourselves accepting our gender definition when the condition was favorable and appealing, and also wishing we had made another choice, if we could, as far as gender was concerned. May I remind you that once you cannot accept or appreciate the fact that you came as a woman, you would always find fault in ‘being a woman', you would never consider yourself good enough as a woman. CAN I BE ANYTHING ELSE? Let's talk about me for a moment. I am a woman (well, I would define myself better as a Lady, with respect to age and marital status). But, the list progres...
