Baptism of LOVE

I have been overwhelmed
I have been submerged
My tender and fragile heart is helpless
I have been swept off my feet
Your love has taken my out of this world.

Your love is paradise
Your presence is heaven to me
Let me bask in the atmosphere
In the atmosphere of your endless love.

It glitters like gold
It shines, just like the sun
It wraps me, just like the blanket
It fits like a customised shirt
Oh, what a feeling!

I wanna be drunk
I wanna be intoxicated
Let your love fill me
Let your love drive me wow..

I cherish you
I Value you
You're my Jewel
Please keep me wrapped in your Love.

You're a Rare Gem

Your Life is precious
You are a rare Gem
Let no one Talk you out of your Destiny
You've been "called" to live.

You've got solutions to proffer
You've got records to break
Believe in Your FUTURE
BELIEVE more in GOD.
 

WHAT IS YOUR SILVER SPOON?

To be born with silver spoon in one’s mouth means to be born into wealth, into a successful and well doing family. There is a popular saying that goes thus, “everyone is not born with a silver spoon.” This has been the excuse for the failure of a lot of people and the excuse a lot more will still give as been responsible for their ineffectiveness and unproductive living.

I believe that everyone has at least a silver spoon. Every human, regardless of the age, race and gender has at least one silver spoon. All that is required from your end is to task your initiative, put your mind to work, ask your Creator to open your eyes to see.

My definition of silver spoon:

·         That special ability you have

·         It is your talent

·         A silver spoon is a point of leverage

·         It is not the wealth in social status but what makes you to become who you were created to be.

Everyone has a silver spoon. The question is what is your silver spoon? What is that special ability you’ve got, that thing that makes you unique. What is your selling point?

If you are not born with a silver spoon in your mouth, create one with your mind (investment mentality) and your hand (hard work) because nobody really came into this world with spoons in their mouth.

Olumide Emmanuel (MD Common Sense Group)

As far as I am concerned, the One who created you has given you what you need to become that person you saw in your Dream (if you have one). The sharpness of your mind is required to see that great Future your Creator has prepared ahead of you.

I challenge you, Dare to Dream and much more, make your dream a reality then you would have made for yourself “a customized silver spoon.” See you at the top!

 

 

I owe You my Life

But for Your Mercies
I would have been consumed by the heartless earth
But for Your Mercy
Six would have conquered me.

 My name would have been erased from the list of the living

The “white house” would have been my home
And the ladies in white, my waitress
I all I am to Your Mercy.

As I continue my sojourn on earth

Help me to appreciate You with all my being

Knowing that I owe You my all

I owe you my Life.

Five Ways I Handle Pressure

As much as a lot of us want life to be fun-filled, as much as we desire to have and enjoy the brighter side of life, for as long as we want the best out of life, we must come to terms with the fact that challenges and pressure will come our way.

Challenges and pressure are part of life but the attitude with which we face them matter a lot and often determine what becomes of us thereafter. Just like the title of the book “tough times never last but tough people do.”  My mathematics Teacher back in secondary school puts it this way, “may your way be rough.” Almost everyone in the class looked at him disdainfully… is this man here to teach or to curse … (laughs) but he took time to explain himself which was accepted by some while others remained indifferent.

The truth about life is that we will always face challenges- financial, relationship, career, spiritual, physical/health etc. these things put some form of pressure on us and how we handle them or react during this period/time (when we are under pressure) determines what we get out of such situation.  Below are five ways I handle pressure. They have worked and still working for me:

1. Music: One of the things I do when I am under pressure is to listen to inspirational songs or songs that will “distract” me from the problem and make me focus on the solution(s).
2. Heavy Sighing/Breathing Out: This has also worked for me, whenever I am under intense pressure, I try as much as possible to breathe out heavily and blow out some air. This reduces the pressure I feel within and relives me to a large extent.
3. Keep Calm: Taking some time to think and pretending as if there is no pressure is another “secret” on how to handle challenges and pressure. Learn to be calm in the midst of pressure so as to make the best/right decision. Be calm and learn to smile in the midst of pressure, I do this a lot. But know where to smile o…!! (laughs)
4. Be Positive: Being positive in spite of pressure is an attribute of champions a friend and father, S.A Ajala, says, “…challenges are the breakfast of champions.” Thanks dad, these words have worked and are still working for me.
5. God’s Help: Above all, never underestimate the power of the Greatest One, God. He is always willing to help, all you need to do is to acknowledge you need Him and, call for  His help. Hmm…He’s the present Help in need.
