I HATE ME BECAUSE OF MY BOSS

Hi guys!

It's been an amazing week with lots of drama, I am sure Debby has a story to tell Lol. Well, I am sure we all come across several depressing, tormenting and frustrating situations in our day to day life but all we need is to be calm and take control over our emotions. We need to guard our emotions like our gold and silver because it truly is.

The Greatest Power anyone can have over us is the Power of our Emotions. Never let anyone toy with your emotions (feelings)

Speaking of myself? I don't hate me because of my boss but I am pretty sure some cases may differ. It will differ because you aren't  me neither am I to you. It is quite clear that Human Beings are different and we all have different levels of Patience, Absorbance, and Resilence.

It may happen sometimes that we have some misunderstanding with our bosses because of work done and not done, information passed but not received, or many at times their principles of doing things.



But I have a question...
Why would anyone want to influence somebody else's Principle? Somebody else's way of doing things just because we don't like it? We should get one thing right which is, "it is their style"
We can hardly do anything about what someone has decided to be like. But should we then become unhappy because of what they are like?

No!

Let People be free to be what they want as long as they are comfortable in their own skin

That is my belief.
 Not for anything should you hate yourself because who then will Love you? Your Boss loves his life, she also loves her life just get it.

They may Boss you, Toss you but they won't kill you. Form that thick skin to every bullshit and every demoralizing statement because you wouldn't have been hired if they didn't see that awesome potential in you.

Rise up above Words.
But if Words turn to Actions, take your leave.


So from today on?






See you soon guys!

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: THE WORD GAY

Hey guys!

Many of us have boyfriends and are happy in the relationship (probably because it’s still fresh) and some others have but are nagging and want to end the relationship.

Truthfully a lot, I mean a whole lot of us have been blind to what we search for. Isn’t it true love we want? someone to care about us and put us on his to-do list?

A person who will value us (because a lot of people these days value their value LOL) a person who wouldn’t forget our birthdays and special days.  Many of you want the girl that would make you feel secure without having to worry of another man.

 Now I ask… is “gay” actually a wrong thing or is there a better name to refer?

Before you get mad at this and close the page understand me first.

A mortal man cannot tell his fellow man he loves him unconditionally regardless of his errors, wickedness, selfishness, backbiting, incompetence and a lot more. We all know human beings cannot take all that bullshit. So that unconditional love that turns people into gays guys or lesbians? Totally absurd

Don’t get angry and shut the page yet dear.

But guys… only God really can do all this for you and me. He loves you so much so that you can’t even figure. God also wants the sweet names we call our so called boyfriend and girlfriend.

How do you find it telling God “I love you and I always will”

                                                       “You are my heart and I cant deny”

“Every breathe I take is to see your face”

“You are my adorable”

“You are my favorite”

Believe me it is that sweet. God will spoil you silly and show you in return how much he cares about you.

He isn’t like every other guy:     Boy- I love you baby

Girl- Are you sure?

Believe me; God won’t doubt your love for him. He would embrace you at all time. You think it is somehow to call God my baby boy? My sweet heart?

Have you guys forgotten we are wives to him?

Oh! But then you think it super right to call his own creation sweet names and ignore his presence?

Now you see why I asked earlier; is gay right? The word gay is crazy and yes it is a wrong thing! If our own creator loves us so much but doesn’t demand such sexual pleasure from us as much as he loves us then no man has a right to demand it from his fellow man.  For when a mortal man makes it to heaven he becomes a wife to Jesus. Gender isn’t a difference. The Lord would marry us all together with his unconditional love not by having unproductive sex and generating incurable diseases.

Let us wake every morning and develop the habit of saying “Good morning Jesus thank you for yesterday and my already settled today reveal your plan for today to me so I can get along”

Instead of rushing to your device (phone, tabs, laptops, and mailbox) to see if he or she has replied your text. God texts you everyday but how many times do you bother to read not to talk of replying?

He text you and that’s why you are awake did you reply Him by saying thank you?

Dear people you must passionately love God and be rest assured your life would be great
Good morning.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

                                                           

I am just making an assumption that you may be quite puzzled on seeing the headline. The motivations behind my understanding you may not be able to phantom but I will tell you what these 2 words mean to us.

Saying above and beyond seem very much the same but they are critically different. Let me start by sharing with you where I drew out my inspiration. I want to politely judge us that we lack the time or pleasure to seek to know what is more than us. I am not exempted.

I was thinking about my life and what I would want to be this year not even 5 years from now anymore and I was beaten to no results. I sat and thought and consoled myself saying “a writer thinks so think” but believe me It’s not all about thinking because I thought and thought until I slept off. I woke to my own understanding that if I do not know what I want then I don’t know what would become of me and that is what is beyond me.

Things we do not know, things we cannot see, and things we have no idea about are beyond us. Our beyond is what we do not know. But you know what’s best about it? We have the ability to know.  Today I did not know what I wanted to be this year and it was beyond me because I couldn’t see it.

Speaking of “the above” we know where we are, we know what is below us and we know what is above us because they are both not far-fetched. This is like creating an illusion of a line where we can either fall down or climb up, no one knows what it’s going to feel like till either happens.

You see, when I woke up or before I slept I knew my future was beyond me and I needed to know what was going to be inside of it. We all have something above us; it further depends on what you take above you. Some may see tomorrow as their above, their secondary school seniors or even a pastor or a teacher.

What I term above is a helper a “divine helper” someone that could see me through till I make it in the end. My pastor is ahead (in front) of me but not above me. And below me is what I term “predicament” a disaster, a place where I have been saved from by the helper.

ABOVE & BEYOND is my motto for a great tomorrow.

Above first, then comes beyond. If you can’t access your above forget about your beyond. The above is God your helper and the beyond is the future you need God to help you come through. God first then the future comes after.

What Are We Searching For?

Often times I want to write. But sometimes the right words struggle to pull through. Many at times, I would rack my brain just to put something out to you that in the end makes a whole lot of sense.

This piece I am about to put before you was inspired by a real life experience. This experience enveloped me with tears.

Here is goes…

This world we all know is best friends with no one. What you see is what you get. Many people do not plan for the things they see, but they get what they see.

We all want to be happy and even at that many get sad.  

We all want to live long and on the long-run many die young.    

We all want something special but it turns out we become emotional because things can’t be rational.

                                                                                                                                                                                             Only if this world could feel, we won’t have to deal, but now it seems like we have to appeal even if it is hard to reveal the solutions to our problems, we just want to try.

Here is an illustrated story (please attend to all the details…)

A woman married at age 60 to a widower from k*** state. Ever since then, ailments of all sorts strolled with ease into her life.

Till her death, there was no peace.

That woman walked bravely into that relationship, with a strong hope that she would find that joy of being in a marriage again, she never found it.

She died at 60. Her little Joy was snatched.

We actually never know the end from its beginning, but do we rather listen to what our heart is ringing?

No one wants to sing “hymns” on a dear friend’s behalf because it hurts….

You know what we want?

We just want to be happy and live well and long.

Do we have to get hurt?

We do not deserve that feeling of being burnt

But at least I have learnt

Although it seems like situations are permanent

I can at most try to make things different

Because Proverbs 16:25 says… there is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

This was inscribed many years back, we can’t play the fool here, let us pray…

OGADINMA

Life is simple "jiri nwayo"
Whatever you do to make you smile "jisi ike"
When you are down sing or dance because soon you will do that unconsciously
Move with the sway of the wind even as the leaves clap hands
This world is meant for you and me to live and not survive
Oga dinma- all will be well

SO CONFused?

In life we all have more than one thing we want to become. Even I, have challenges. Challenges that puzzle me.
When we get confused, all we have to do is "pause".
Life is too short, yes. But life wont make sense in a hurry either.
When things look like you can not achieve any of your desires, be ready to fire your reserved energy.
Nothing comes easy doesn't mean nothing comes at all.
Lately I have been confused and it seems like I am tired of fighting.
But then I ask myself, if I stop fighting what happens to my desires? who will fight for me?
I ask myself how I would feel when my mates start flourishing and I, still sitting and resting?
Life is not easy and I would tell you why.
How can life be easy when you are not the only one demanding from it?
For instance; You as the bread winner of your home, you get numerous family bills everyday. You get pissed and tired or don't you? It is not like you aren't willing to help but it is exhausting.
Same thing goes to life, life is exhausted and it would only attend to pressing demands.

But so you know, if you want to be attended to you better hurry and press on...
Do not forget that life is short too.

THE GREAT RABBI

My soul rest in thy hands
I worship thee in thy land

Oh! how my heart draws near to thee
Thy words are pleasant keys to my need

Each day, my burden you bear
You hide me under the shadow of your care

Irresistible love you shower
And I get it each time I get to the tower

My eulogy I give thee
In return, great reward I conceive in me

We All Need Encouragement.

Many times we have heart goals and aspirations that go down the drain.  Not because we can not make it but because we do not have the force. Many of us want to be fulfilled and make our loved ones proud but we just fail in some way we don't understand.
We are humans and we are born with doubts. The only key to rescue us from our doubts is encouragement.
When we are encouraged we live with faith, faith that serves as our engine. We typically can't make it far without motivation and encouragement. Dreams are tarnished, trampled and triumphed because we lack self encouragement and zeal.
Let us learn to encourage each others idea and visions because someday we would see that we are part of a big deal.
Be a source of encouragement today!

Yes We Love God

I have never been so frightened in my life, but what I stumped upon this morning had my heart skip twice with a great fear.

Let me ask you; how would you react when you see such a statement “Do you really love God or you are just scared of going to hell?” I do not know how you just reacted but I was near tears. If you ask me why, is it that I do not love God? My answer is simple. I really fear and dread hell after all the numerous stories I have heard about it, I am sure no one wants to be there. So if I fear it and do not want to be there I rather draw closer to God.

I am sure the question is “is that why I am close to God so as not to end up in hell?” I wouldn’t say yes, you know why? Because it is clear that if you love God you will obey His commandments of which staying away from sin is mandatory! And I am sure we all know sin leads to hell. So what I am saying is, if you love God you will stay away from sin and hell would be far from you. Likewise if you do not want to go to hell you will stay away from sin and draw closer to God. Yes, the reason why many run to God is because they do not want to perish. But when they run and God accepts they get to know Him and they just cannot do without Him because they love Him. They start realizing who and how amazing it is in His presence.

The question many others are asking is “why then do I love God?”

I love God because He is my essence, the reason why I am me. I love him because He is my creator, so I would not be an ignorant fool to spend my eternity with the devil in hell. I love Him because He raises me high to more than I can be. So another quote could say “Do I really love God or I am just overwhelmed by His good deeds?” the answer to that question is, I love God for who He is. God is generous, He is kind, He is merciful, and He is love. So if I love what He blesses me with because it is who He is the generous God, the provider? Then yes I love him and I am overwhelmed by His good deeds.

The rap up of all I have for you is “Everyone that loves God fears hell and anyone that fears hell runs to God. And when they run to Him they get to know Him and they discover who our maker really is and they fall in love with Him. So friends do not let the saying “Do you really love God or you are just scared of going to hell?” kick you off balance.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

I was always fond of accusing you...

You told me you were going to see me through,

but because i couldn't see you, i doubted!

You loved me, but i didn't believe,

You sort for my happiness, but i had no idea

I was wrong...

I should have waited,

I should have listened,

I had all your attention, but i didn't know it

The love you gave freely, was what i was in search for

But I never knew it was chasing after me.

Instead all i kept doing was running, ignoring and doubting

But now i realize.... please forgive me

LISTEN!

Many of us ask this question maybe not directly but through our lives .

many of us have forgotten what we want

many that remember consider what life says first

many think of their situation, forgetting their passion, their desire, their dreams.

Life doesn't have to speak! you speak to life...

You tell life to obey you, because it has to.

Stop depending on life, let life be grateful to have you in it...

Be bold! not because you are bearing a lot in life but because there is a lot more to life

Life is not a choice it is a decision.

Make up your mind to live and not to life

YOU ARE GRATEFUL YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW IT

Some people ask questions that are funny to me. they ask can we really know God? what a question! Of course we can know God, he has already made himself known to us and available for us, all we have to do is say "God I need you in my life please come in".
It is ridiculous that some deny the existence of God. Karl Marx openly denied the existence of God, believing that the person but not God in the highest form of being.

Such foolishness!
Who can explain the reason why you breathe? some would say it is science. yes science only made breathing look like chemicals plus physical operations. but breathe was given and not made. it was given to you and I that's why we alive! we came to being by the breathe a Sovereign God gave.

Scientists are God's instrument to make duplicate of what he has done here on earth, but instead they think they are so creative and they know all. All what they put together comes from something am very much sure they cant define where water was originated from not made from. They would only tell you the cells make up this and that but who brought about the cells?

Lets not be Ignorant lets be wise and reasonable! God made us and that is why we are here, he loves us and he is our first love because out of love He made us like Himself. we can't let the world He brought us into so as to enjoy ourselves ruin our relationship with Him. Instead let us show Him we are grateful, think about it you are actually grateful after knowing He is the reason why you are alive and not mere science
