Happy new year pals!
Its good we all saw 2013 end which has become history and here we are already in 2014. Its by God's grace alone and not our making. Unaccountable numbers of people lost their struggles to the cold hands of death in 2013 (we are not mocking them cos God chose to take them at those times) but here we are alive,hale and hearty to celebrate the new year,all glory returns to God almighty. And I pray that we will all sail through it and witness more prosperous,uplifting and favour packed years on earth IJN.
Errrmmm....I believe we all would have had thoughts like "I need/supposed to have dropped last year" and might have made resolutions for the new year while most of us don't like resolutions and think they don't guide us or make any serious sense at the end of the year. But we should try to check ourselves by looking into areas where we feel we didn't do much last year,we should try to cover up for the losses and slacks,turn new leafs,drop bad habits(with prayers as it is the only key that answereth all things),remain focused as there is nothing a man cannot achieve with God on his side when he's focused and hardworking.
Be good to people u meet,like the Yoruba addage says "We humans are like flowing water bodies. There is no limit to our flow" Yes,I agree! Cos this world is small and there is nowhere we can't meet ourselves but there will be a record/reference if you've been good to someone cos u dunno who will be of help to you tomorrow.
And to crown it all up,be extensively prayerful. The world is full of evils and its only God that has the power to save,like we all know that PRAYER is our means of communicating with God. Every year has its good and bad sides and its prayers that can keep us away from the evils happening.
With these few things I've stated and God on our sides,I believe we all will have a blissful and wonderful year in Jesus name.
Thanks,God bless and love u all

MY SILENT CRY
There are times when you feel dejected,down and lonely. Not just because you were hurt by someone you trusted but because after the hurt,you don't seem to find someone to open up to or talk to and then u feel worse. If you've found yourself in this kinda situation before,then you'll understand the write up as you read along.This was composed more than a year ago
MY SILENT CRY
A cry from within which no one knows about,
A cry of sorrow and sadness,
A cry ofbetrayal,pain and regret,
Nobody to talk to,No one notices my tears,
And nobody to share my pain with.
Trusted friends are falling,friends have turned foes,
Everybody's busy with life,no one to care.
Those who pretended to care have turned their backs in scorn,
Not a soul to lean on;
Gripped with the fear of tomorrow,
Not a being to show an iota of love.
A bitter heart lost in the world of sadness,
Many could love and show concern but none seems bothered,
Despised on the island of loneliness,
Too many things are wrong.
Day after day,Nights roll in but nothings seems to change,
Not an hope of a positive revolution,
I continue to wallow in my thoughts,
Who will come to my rescue?
Who will lend me an helping hand?
Who seems bothered?
MY SILENT CRY,
Who will dry up my tears?
The answers to these questions,remain YOU after which GOD then comes in cos if you don't decide to stand to your feet and be strong,you don't get motivated to call on God for help. We all have/are going through/have experienced bad and hard times but the truth remains that we were strong(with God's help) to pass through those times.
SOMETHING ABOUT FASHION
Its a beautiful week! Bet you guys are enjoying your week already? During the weekend,my attention was drawn to somethings,one of which was FASHION and errrmm...will love to share with you guys some things I got to understand about fashion.
Fashion,is just a seven letter word but rules the heart of billions
Some take it as a priority,while others take it so much levity
Its beautiful,good,sweet and lovely.
But also ugly,distasteful and looks absurd at times.
Its nasty and crazy,
Its has its part in every culture,
It has a bitchy nature (making you look like a whore when you have the wrong fashion sense).
Its a virus that spreads in no time,
Makes people confused in it,devours your money unimaginably,
It revolves and ain't static with little addition of flavour cos it has no end.
II remember seeing a pic of mum where she wore an "oleku" and here I am with my own "oleku" sitting in my wardrobe. Though,hers didn't have any embroidery design on the sleeves of the "buba" but mine has (that's the little flavour added to it)
On the other hand, dad used to wear an old school hair style and pencil pants and my little bro has the same hair style on.
Fashion is innovative but easily outdates,
On the innovative and civilised side,
Mum used 'tiro'-local eye liner while I use Mac's eye liner(civilisation @work) *grin*.
But one very heartbreaking thing I've noticed about fashion recently is the fact that it has made a lot of people go naked. Infact,most fashion designers now design clothes that leave the most sacred parts of the body exposed(most especially the female dresses) and this ain't good enough. Even the Bible/Quran we believe in condemns the exposure of our body parts and if we say we believe in this Holy books,then we need to do as it says.
At this point,I'll have to drop my pen and rush to get some stuffs done. Thanks for stopping by to read this and have a fun filled week*runs away*
SOMETHING INSPIRING
Morning guys! Its a new week already and the weekend has ended with its fun. Back to serious biz for the week! Where some will have to continue with the routine and others will have a change of job,office,department, and the likes. But want u to know that "if" YOU don't know the purpose for your being where you are,then you ain't fit to be there. Martin Luther King (Jnr) said and I quote "If any man has no purpose for living,he is not fit to live". Knowing the purpose for being where u are,for doing what u're into and most importantly for your existence is your 1st step to greatness. Well,going with some researches I've carried out,a man doesn't just wake up one day and says "Now I know my purpose for living" NO! Its something that you get to know with time,though the time varies (some discover their talents early enough while that of the others take a little more time to be established,depending on the way God has programmed our lives) but the No1 thing or drive as I will call it I've noticed to trigger purpose fulfillment is the drive to be successful because without this SUCESS DRIVE,you will not make it and might not affect any life. "Even the dumbest man will succeed if he cares to know what it takes"--Zig Ziglar.
Another thing I noticed is the drive to change a particular routine because a purpose driven man strives to make a change. Like Bishop Oyedepo said and I quote "Until something changes within you,nothing changes around you. Every change begins from within,because without a change within,there can never be change without". This means something should have changed within you before you can make the move of making a change. "We must strive to see the change we want"-Mahatma Gandhi and "Anyone who will move the world must first move himself"-Socrates. Thirdly,you have to make sacrifices(in giving,in dropping some bad habits and by doing things which you won't do ordinarily) and most importantly,you must have God. Know him by accepting and acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord.
And at this point,I came to a conclusion that without Christ, the DRIVE to be SUCCESSFUL,the DRIVE to make a CHANGE,the willingness to make sacrifices by doing somethings you won't get a credit or a pat on the back for,( Not until you do something for someone who cannot pay you back in cash or kind,you have not really lived-source unkown) a man cannot boldly say he has really recorded any form of success or achievement in life. There is this popular saying which says "You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs" (that's for those who eat omelette,tho...lol).
Well,for now I'll have to wish you guys a wonderful week, God's favour,mercy and all the goodies God has packaged for each of you this week to be yours in Jesus name. And don't forget to be good and be a blessing to someone this week. Cheers!!!
