Can You Dream???

The dreams we have when we are awake are the dreams that makes a difference.

Can you dream???

This write up is meant for those who dream dreams that are true: dreams that goes beyond a beta future for yourself, those are selfish and weak dreams. Its time to dream right.

Remember when you were a child and had sincere dreams of how you are going to affect the world with the ideas you had; make a flying car, build the tallest building with everything you want inside, make sure people are not sick or begging, be the president, etc. We were always the best at whatever it was we thought about.

What change???

Fear and insecurity gradually choked our dreams. Some says we got to face reality or life is not roses. But should the challenges of the world be an excuse to become a mediocre? Didn't the great inventors of past lived on this same earth? Did they let their own limitations and shortcomings stop them from succeeding? They didn't... Thomas Edison, Martin Luther King, Elbert Einstein and there likes

Dream again and dream right

Dear i tell you again, dream. Explore your imagination mixed with passion and dream big, real big.

• Let your dream influence your universe,
• It should make a positive impact,
• It should be extraordinary that you know it will be a land mark,
• Generations after you should benefit of your dream physically or from the knowledge of your dream

Dream beyond self, dream right, don't let MONEY limit your dreams, create an atmosphere of possibility, be a good dreamer.

Corperate Worship: Part 1

Worship to God in songs is not about how loud you sing or how good your voice sounds; although they are important factors because you should always give God the best, will discuss that some other time.


Worship to God has to be in Spirit and in truth as Jesus said to the curious woman at the well side in John 4 verse 23 & 24. This apply to every way you worship God with your life as also in singing.


We should worship God in spirit i.e from our recreated spirit as believers in Christ. We are spirit being cause we were born of the spirit (John 3:6), so what happens during worship is the Holy spirit energies our spirit and the expression is true. For Jesus promised the holy spirit will teach us all things, even to worship.


Now to worship God in truth has to do with revelational knowledge of what you are doing. An understanding of the what you are saying and who you are saying it to. Knowing the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, what he has done and given to you.

With these you are conscious of what you are doing, you are conscious of how awesome God is, your words are true. In this state when you sing "You are the reason i live" it totally will be from your spirit and there is always a way our spirit connect with our emotions. When we say "Jehovah, you are the most high", we mean it. We worship and our understanding is fruitful.


It has happened to almost everyone of us that we sing a song so much and get so familiar with the song that when we sing we are unconscious of what we say but we just sing, like when we sing "Thou at worthy o lord", guilty right???


I will end with an experience Rick Jonah shared in one of his books. He was ministering one day and when they started praying it was like a prophetic  encounter, a vision, he could see the hearts of every member and there problems but they all were worshiping God, reverencing Him for how awesome he is, in the mist of there troubles. And immediately he was caught up to a place that seems like heaven and he saw the lord smile at what the congregation did, and the host of angels joined in singing praises to the Lord. Now Jesus was standing close to him and said "For just this moments my Father smile, my death on the cross was worth it"...


Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth always ...for the Father seeketh such to worship him(John 4:23c), itrs a demand. Do it right and do it well so you make big Daddy smile for your sake.

Pounded Yam and Egusi Soup

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmn, i sighed... My nose defines its aroma.
Sitting at the front yard, Right in front of me is the end product in dishes

Reminisce
The sun was gradually setting
A big family
Everyone was involved in the process
The ladies all in the backyard gossiping and laughing
Osasere on her knees with all focus and determination, grinding onion on stone
Momma standing with a long spoon steering the native pot
Aunts peeling the back of big tubers of yam and placing them in the big pot of boiling water.
It was a regular evening at home in the village

"Osahen" momma screamed out, "come and pound the yam". Osas and i walked in from the corner all set to recreate the boiled yam in the mota. 
Side by side we pound set upon set of sliced boiled yam and made them into large moles.

Back in the front yard where i was lost in my thought I regained myself as the others gather together round the dishes. 
Pounded yam and egusi was served in fine dishes, the sight of the egusi soup was glorious. Stocked fish scattered around with goat meat and beef in d middle and corner, i salivate.
We were all sited and straight away we dived into the dishes after washing hands.

As the first mole of pounded yam i made with my hands, clothed with the egusi soup hits my mouth all my senses came alive. My tongue couldn't help but rejoice round the mole in my mouth, my eyes widened in excitement, a smiles appear unconsciously on my face.
I could taste the right mixture of every bit of ingredient coming together in agreement to produce a fine taste of what we called egusi. I could see same expression on every persons face. I gracefully swallowed as i couldn't wait for the next experience. My hand stretched for the next mole.

" Momma" i said, "This is good!"

Ok... Yesterday was my birthday. Yeah! Am getting old.

It was great... Had a wonderful sunday service: great ministration by The Glorious Choir, My pastor charge us with powerful prayer session and then the April babie were celebrated. I cut cake, its kinda like a custome and my younger sister bakes (She's a pro).

Ok, dashed out immediately to go train some leaders at Unical that took the rest of the day because of meetings that followed up.

In a nut shell, i had a wonderful birthday, did what i enjoyed doing: talking with friends and teaching, was around the people i love the most.

I thank Gods for his blessing upon my life and grace. Happy birthday to me

Just as the human mind wonder here and there endlessly, I wondered a little about the universe.

The Universe and everything in it is as a result of the imagination of one great God (Jehovah Himself), every star, galaxy, planet, gas, life, cell, every single matter to the smallest was all His idea. Hmmn. What a magnificent kind of mind He has. So much He made, detailed, timed, beautify. What knowledge He had, He made His UNIVERSE.

So my thoughts wondered off again... He created us like Him.WOW.

Everyone has a UNIVERSE!!! (My eyes open with so much excitement)

The SIZE of your universe is determine by how MUCH you know, it GROWS with how much your mind is open to LEARN more, it is BEAUTIFIED with WHAT you know, and of VALUE by how what you know affect the LARGER UNIVERSE.(You may not understand this paragraph once, read it again)

Some people universe are as small as a golf ball and others as big as the LARGER UNIVERSE itself... Some people universe are made of 3-4 elements while others are millions and are still growing. I can imagine most teen universe: Sex, boys/girls, party, clothe, phones...

Take a moment and ask yourself, how does my universe look like(size, content)? is it accommodating? What's its worth?... Learn to know and know to learn. "He created us without limits". God bless you

Remembered a story that made me laugh.
There was a time when I always got home and met my siblings using my laptop to either play game or watch movie. I would complain but same occurrence so I decided to password the laptop. I got home that day and they were upset I did it. They pleaded that I should remove the password so they could have access but I refused. Same thing happen the second day, I felt bad and removed the password before I slept that night. When I got home the third my laptop wasn’t tempered with, was surprised. Same thing happened throughout that week. During the weekend we were just chilling when they said sarcastically that I refused to remove the password from my laptop. I laughed so hard cause I how terrible the mind could enslave someone.
It made me remember a story I read about a scientist who tried an experiment on and insect. He placed the insect in a bottle and covered the top of it. Every time the insect gets to the top of the bottle he meets the cover which is a barrier and it falls back to the bottom of the bottle. This insect tries continually several times. After a while, the scientist came and removed the cover of the bottle. The insect crept up to the top of the bottle again and when he got there he fell back to the bottom again. It was accustom to the barrier at the top of the bottle.
This is how many people have being enslaved mentally. They have all the resources to be great around them but they are so blind with the challenges they are facing that they aren’t seeing through it. Learn to see opportunity and constructively make solutions out of them, then you will never be limited

Describe your mum in one statement

Describe

your mum in one sentence:

On my way returning from my sister's wedding, I heard on the radio that you should describe your mum in one sentence. I turn to my friend in the bus with me and said "my mum does not take nonsense" (hope you get what I mean) and we laugh together.
For a while I ponder on those 1st word that pop into my head as a description for her and of a through she doesn't.

Growing up, her rules are not to be broken, and if you did, don't be caught (you wouldn't like the after effect). She canes you with a reason and until you almost unconsciously forsake that reason (guess your mum did same), but she never insulted us through the process. She makes sure you know why you are caned. SHE DOESN'T TAKE NONSENSE.

Also, I couldn't count the number of times I fell sick growing up. Both the severe and minor once, various hours, both during the day and late at night and she caters for me. I can remember not just once or 20 different times we were on the road late at night because of my health, she doesn't care about the time, all that matters is my well being. SHE DOESN'T TAKE NONSENSE.

She also makes sure when ever daddy was around that the best o dishes were prepared or when she see me cry, she console me and make sure those behind it gets a piece of her mind (that's if am not the one wrong o) or times when she stays up all night praying for me (my mum's prayer kept me going). SHE DOESN'T TAKE NONSENSE.

So I wanna ask you, describe you mum in one sentence???
