The chatter  and natter (idle talk) of your hater  is like the patter (sound) of a hammer that batters (strikes) and tatter  mind. Sometimes it's like the spatter (spill) of an atter (venom) from a fatter  snake that attacks the heart. There are people you can't eliminate from your life. You will meet them in your life's pursuit be it your school, workplace or even church. These people are called haters, they are never meant to say positive things about you nor encourage you. Instead, they always have something bad to say about you. Imagine how the seedling has to  grow through rocky and mountainous  places. Although it really hurts to be around them, push through their resentful expressions. Grow without allowing their frequent hateful acts to infiltrate your soul. You will never reach your destined peak if you give them your ears. Therefore filter those you listen to and focus on the good things you do.  Dear, IGNORE THE VENOMOUS STATEMENTS OF YOUR H...

  In this age , remain in the cage (presence) of your maker so He can give you His Living lage (water) full of sage (wise)counsel, which will be a gage (security) for the next page  of your life and prepare you for the stage  set for you. But if you move away from His presence, the mage (devil) with his rage (violent)hands will wage  you war on you. During this moment of uncertainties in your life,where else are you going aside His presence? The wisdom and secrets that will catapult you to your next level are in His  presence so go nowhere. Your intelligence alone without His word and presence will amount to nothing.The wisdom of this world is not enough to secure your generation. So why don't you stay with Him in your closet and seek more of Him.When the foundation of your life  is not built with Him, it can easily be shaken.Having God is the answer to your daily worries.You've been seeking your answer from the wrong people and places, it's now time to tur...

Are you miking  (talking) and siking (lamenting) about the person who left you? Don't you know they were  fiking (flattering) and riking (domineering)? Just because the future you were diking  (digging) and viking  (imagining) for each other couldn't come to pass doesn't mean you should throw yourself into town.   Why are you worried about the lady or guy who left you? See yourself crying and reminiscing on the negative statements and hurtful words they used on you. Dear bury those words and burn the possessions that awaken the pain and bitterness. Don't call back, trying to make ends meet. You didn't fit into their lives because you weren't divinely orchestrated to be together and not because there's something wrong with you. Stop beating yourself up, you did nothing wrong. Trying to figure your wrongs out will not make any positive impact.And this is a sign to let them go. You can't glue yourself to what is not yours. There is always a bitter disappoin...

 Don't norn (complain) when you're torn  apart with life's unexpected issues.Your horn  to push you forn (in front) is about to be blown. Don't complain sweetheart,it is obvious that all hell has broken loose over your life, but never release a negative word over your life. Some words may be worth your circumstances but don't you dare open your mouth. You validate and invite bad things into your life by the kind of negative words you use. Complaining makes the issue look bigger than your God. You limit the abilities and possibilities of your God bringing you through the situation. When on the verge of saying something negative, try exalting God. This is called faith, trusting Him and exalting Him as your healer although you see sorrows and pain. When God sees you magnifying Him despite your turbulence, He comes in to deliver. Don't say anything negative; a light is about to shine over your darkness. Dear ,  DON'T COMPLAIN, WORSHIP HIM THROUGH AND HE WILL SEE...

  The favour of God doesn't need the interference  of the people in your circumference  or from your reference  point to reverence  you. It is done by the interference  of His own preference . God's favor chooses a person and sets him in unmerited places. His favour cannot be influenced by your background, weaknesses, age or gender. This grace distinguishes you among your fellows. Where others are rejected, you will be accepted even without obvious qualifications. Whether people like you or not doesn't matter as this grace is sufficient. When His favour speaks on your behalf, it outweighs the millions of people speaking against you. The bitterness in your past is turned around by a touch of His favour. I recommend this grace to you in this world of favouritism and discrimination.  Dear, SEEK HIS FAVOUR! Psalm 84:11 "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Enj...

The devil fires an arrow consistently at you when you are on the narrow  way to prevent you from God's marrow (purpose). The road to eternal joy is not easy brethren. Attack is an inevitable part of the journey .God's plan and purpose  for your life is that you have life in abundance. A step on the narrow path attracts unexpected attacks from the enemy.These are geared towards preventing you from reaching your expected end. As you are not adding up to his kingdom, He finds ways to attack your academics, marriage,children and everything he can set his hands on.Therefore never tread on this journey without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Dear, THE JOURNEY IS NOT EASY BUT PRESS ON,HE IS YOUR SHlELD . Isaiah 59:19   So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Enjoy your day😊

  When you allow people to define  you, they will definitely confine  you. Allow God to refine  you so you can be fine . You will put your life in a dungeon of bitterness if you allow people to define you. Some people will put labels on you dry to the bone. Therefore be careful of the kind of people you listen to. People will always not be satisfied with who you are and what you have. Not all will appreciate what you're doing. Get the courage to strongly believe in yourself and allow your Maker to define you. He is the only Rock that will not make you stumble neither make you doubt yourself. He will never define you to limit you but to push you where He has predestined for you. Don't follow the thoughts and perceptions of others to look down on yourself. When He defines you, He shuts every noise from doubters and naysayers. Dear,  ALLOW YOUR CREATOR TO DEFINE YOU AND HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!! 1 Peter 2:9   But you are a chosen people, a royal pries...

  As you RESPIRE (breath), ASPIRE (yearn) to PERSPIRE (sweat) so you can INSPIRE someone before you EXPIRE (die). Are you existing just to occupy space on this planet? or you are making your life worth something? Will you be remembered for something relevant when you die? Don't say your life is worth nothing. There is something significant that only you can fulfill. Go on a treasure hunt to find what you're made for. Hence discover your purpose, talents and put them to work. You are the reason why someone exists. Don't disappoint your generation. You will be the shoulder on which many will lean. Don't add to generational sorrows by being idle. Be ready to do something that will wipe the tears of your generation. Dear, DO SOMETHING BEFORE YOU DIE!!! Ephesians 2:10  For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.  Enjoy your day😊

You can't CONSULT the people you need as a RESULT of the INSULT you yelled at them. Have you seen the tragedy behind your arrogance and uncouth behavior? You mistreated everyone you came along with. It's difficult to look through people's eyes while they yell insults at you but that doesn't mean you should do same. You can't control how someone behaves towards you but you are responsible for your actions and reactions to theirs. Because you don't know who will be of help in times of need, do as much as you can to treat them with respect despite their misconduct. People will stretch you beyond your limit of tolerance. It is therefore wise to leave that atmosphere to prevent any havoc from occuring. lnstead of using harsh words which are worth their actions, bite your tongue. Swallow up those words, silence is an answer to an immatured behavior. Take note that you will surely regret any  actions done out of anger. Dear, SAVE YOUR HELPERS BY TREATING EVERYONE WI...

If you're TOILING for the best but the BOILING and ROILING (bubbling) issues of life are FOILING (preventing) you from exceling, don't give up. Your life is not COILING . Don't give up dear. l understand that things are really getting tough, making you think you will never laugh again. Don't make any conclusion on your current disaster. You are never left behind, you will surely laugh again. It is true that your fellows are making it and you feel left behind. It is never so, have you forgotten about the illustration of a bow and an arrow? The arrow only shoots best when it is extremely pulled backwards. So as you're been pulled backwards, it is now time to be pushed forward. Your stormy days will be over, keep believing and pushing. lt is never over, God is not done with you yet. You will surely laugh again. Good tidings are about to knock you down. Dear, NEVER GIVE UP! Isaiah 41:10  So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am  God. I will str...

IMITATION   brings LIMITATION . Do you know why you are created differently; having different voice print and fingerprint? These innate qualities make you unique. You are one in all hence specially designed to fulfill a unique purpose with these qualities. Don't be like someone else or do exactly what someone is doing. It's good to admire what someone is doing but to squeeze yourself to be like them will bring limitations on what God created you to do. It brings stress because you were not created with their qualities. Appreciate who you are, identify your potentials and challenge yourself to be the best version of yourself.Be in a competition with yourself and glow in your uniqueness. Don't mask yourself with anyone. Dear, BE YOURSELF!!! Song of Solomon 4: 7   You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Enjoy your day😊

Be with people who will invest  in you not those who will ingest  the good things in you. You and l need people to be with as well as to help us fulfill our purpose. The fact that we need people doesn't mean we should let all people be your friend. Be cautious of the friends you choose.Some people have ended up as drunkards, prostitutes and imprisoned just because of bad company.Destinies went to the grave unmaterialized simply because they didn't get the right people who will help them achieve them. Now one may ask,how do l get good friends? Because there is no way to find man's construction in the face,you have to study the friends around you.Pay rapt attention to the decision they make, their conversation and the way they behave in totality.If what they do or say isn't right, distance yourself from their association.You will never see the best version of yourself when you've surrounded yourself with the wrong friends.Don't say you will be with them and won...

 It is high time you dropped your appetition (desire)    and with repetition , send your petition  to God. Are you not tired of using your human wisdom to manipulate circumstances? You're in a depression now and exhausted because you've tried with your own strength.It is now time to pray dear,things will fall apart when you continue with your might.It is high time you prayed on circumstances that seem confusing to you. Don't sit for the turbulence of life to tear you apart.This is the moment to take dominion over your territory.There will always be an attack to prevent you from reaching your expected end.Begin to pursue and rule over your rightful places.There are wicked adversaries that never wished you rise to your peak.Your human understanding will always fail you, therefore you need a divine backing now.Complaining will always exaggerate your circumstances but it takes prayer to trivialize the circumstances.There are foreigners in your land begin to drive them ou...

Is the  version (kind) of possessions you want leading you into  perversion (sinning)?You need a  reversion (turn back) by  conversion (change) of mind because you are in total  diversion . Is the money you want demanding that you kill someone?Or the estate house you want demands you having sex with someone? Maybe you've thought of doing it due to hardship, but DON'T DO IT! An easy way only comes your way when there is a better end. Don't compromise on your integrity and salvation for perishable and temporal things.You've come too far to give up on God for things that are no where near what He has in stored for you. Take note that when you're closer to your glory you will tested and tempted by the things you desperately desire. Never choose the wrong way to get it because there is no peace of mind there.The end of fancy and luxurious possessions when not gotten right is full of pain and regrets.Get them in the right way, therein is an assured joy and peace of mi...
