BITTER SWEET
It
is true that the taste of adversity is bitter, but ironically it
contains essential ingredients that make the taste of prosperity so
much better.
Moreover,
if you really look deep into all the days of your life, you will surely
see that the laughter of tomorrow is usually inherent in today's
sorrow. You will also find out that there is no peace that comes with
ease, and there is no happiness that is gained without distress.
Therefore,
challenges of life are not meant to break you, because in truth they
are simply the changes you must go through or the price you must pay
for your desired breakthrough.
Quote to Ponder
"Adversity gives us the opportunity to really appreciate prosperity."

OUR NATIONAL BUCKETS
The
concept of removing fuel subsidy without a sustainable remedy such as
designing and implementing a master blueprint for either the
establishment of new refineries or the refurbishment of old ones to the
extent that they are able to successfully operate and produce at
maximum capacity; is like having a leaking bucket that each time you
pour water into it, water spurts out all the holes causing a lot of
wastage. You can keep adding more and more water to the bucket, or you
can patch up the holes.
Clearly patching up the holes or even acquiring another bucket makes much better sense as a lasting and directional solution.
In
other words, our so-called leaders will most certainly create a
delightful experience for us by either patching up our old national
buckets (refineries) or providing us with new ones. Given that
eventually, water will fill all the buckets in our possession until we
begin to experience an overflow… But this just my own opinion, please
let me know yours.

DARE TO BE DISTINCT
"Unfortunately
we are living in a world where most people are 'disciples of the norm'.
And since it is only normal for you to come in contact with such
people, try to distinguish yourself by making a conscious effort to
'stand out' instead of just 'blending in'. Moreover, you must be
adequately informed and in your best form to perform way beyond the
norm. In any case dare to be distinct (one of a kind) in every
situation because uniqueness is indeed a major part of God's creation."
Point to Ponder
You must be adequately informed and in your best form in order to perform way beyond the norm.

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR REAL SELF
-Don Chuckie
Do you know that you can discover your purpose in life and achieve true success just by being your real Self?
True success is about developing an identity and discovering a purpose for your-self because, taking charge of your-self or developing your-self in order to live a relevant life leads to prosperity. And the reason why it is very necessary for you not only to dialogue inwards, but also really listen to your inner self is that the Creator who indeed is the source of all things created you in His direct image and likeness so that you can use your unique and godly attributes to fulfill His purpose for your life here on earth.
Therefore, it follows to say that a life without purpose is a life without meaning and a life not worth living because; discovering your purpose in life is the core essence of why you are a human being (your self). So for you to discover your personal purpose and then achieve real success in life, you must strive diligently to uncover and release your God-given qualities by constantly paying a close attention to your innermost self (your heart) where the spirit of truth and revelation abides.
Interestingly, self-discovery, self-awareness, self- forgiveness, self-acceptance, self-mastery, self-discipline, self-control, self-motivation, self-education, self-evaluation and examination are not only the essential components for character building and personal development, but are also the innate human elements required for the attainment of a high self-esteem and worth. In other words, if it is your desire to live a life of purpose that will make you very useful to your self, others around you and the entire world, then you must resolve not only to surrender but to stay surrendered to the spirit of the living God which resides at the core of your being. For in doing so, you are not in anyway self-centered but rather, you are selfless, God-centered and properly positioned for real success. Because it is only your creator that can help you gain the kind of self-confidence and image required in becoming a great individual that stands worthy of emulation.
In fact, a purposeful visionary is highly convinced that the success of his vision will be revealed to the World as long as he continues working in the company of God. So he spends quality time in his self-laboratory (inner sanctuary) trying to work out the Almighty's formula that will enable him turn his visions or dreams into realities. With this said; I hope you see the need to encourage and challenge your-self to dig deep within your-self in search of your personal purpose because until you discover it and commit to its fulfillment, you are not really living.
Point to Ponder
The spirit of an awesome God and a purposeful Creator lives and dwells in you.

HERE IS YOUR HUG FROM HEAVEN
I
remember vividly when alongside public announcement you were born “into
the ‘90s”. I mean, how can I possibly forget those days when my boring
teenage life suddenly became exciting the moment I discovered how to
“Bump ‘n’ grind”
As a matter of fact, it got to the extent that in junior high school, I was considered a ladies man because I was always seen in the midst of them whether or not their body was calling. However, I never failed to uphold a “religious love” with my favorite girl-because obviously “she got the vibe”.
Well looking into my life then and now, it wouldn’t be hard to tell that; that was a long time ago because now, my life belongs to Jesus.
But truthfully, I still believe that you can fly, because when I think of you, i strongly perceive a highly gifted individual that can partake in the restoration of peace to the world.
Yet again, why is that now that your storm is over and whole world has accepted you as the “The greatest R in R & B”, it is still not clear whether you are an angel or a snake. For example; why is it that sometimes you sing spiritually with your tongue and other times you “thoi-tong”? Personally speaking, I think it is this split personality part of your life that gets both men and women fed up, because even though “You remind me of something”, I just don’t know what it is.
Although, I truly do understand that all you want do is make “Happy People” by showing them how to move, groove and “step in the name of love”. But I also strongly feel that the time for you to choose the Christ kind of life over the “fiesta” kind of life is now. And rather than keep believing in a “Ghetto Religion”, why don’t you fully dedicate your creative ideas to the Author of creativity..
In addition, I would like to reveal to you that the day you realized that “prayer changes” everything and thus made the “trade in your life” by “asking heaven for a hug” the Holy spirit answered your inner voice that said “I wish” and not only did “He save you” He also “touched your dream” by inspiring you deeply in other to spread God’s uncompromising word through your very rare creative depth.
Finally, here is the low down of the “down low” and trust me everybody has to know. Stop being a “Bad Man” and a “flirt” in a “Gotham city” (God dammed city) and surrender your all” to God by becoming a full time gospel Artist – for you are still the best in this category. I know this might be a very difficult task, especially after testing so much “honey love” by getting "freaky in the clubs", but all you need to do is to win the souls of your fans for heavens sake by truly giving your own soul to God. Do this and you’ll receive a supernatural award that all the Grammy put together (those past and those yet to come) cannot be compared to it. Do this and you shall receive God’s love and approval to be called an architect of heaven – very few men posses this award.

P.S
For you to really be happy is for you not to only thank God is Friday but also to thank Him for every other day and surrender all to Him. Just try to take a leap of faith and look inwards so that you can stop being trapped in a closet ...it seems like you ready.

THE LOVE & THE LACK OF MONEY
You need to treat your finances as a resource
God has provided to fulfill your vision,
Not as a tool to fill your life with luxuries.
-Dr Myles Munroe
Even
if it is just for curiosity's sake, I know you would really like to
figure out why on one hand it is written that the love of money is the
root of all evil, while on the other hand it is also written that money
answers all things.
Well, the key reason why we are admonished to make money and not allow money make us is that the ability to create wealth and live either a happy or prosperous life has nothing to do with money, but everything to do with investing in ourselves until we have a complete understanding of our lives and the right frame of mind to become wealth creators.
Money on its own is a neutral resource and an unemotional substance that should never be desired as an end in itself, but instead should be desired as a means that helps you and I to achieve our principal goal in life and get to our ultimate destination. In other words, for us to fulfill our God-given visions or turn our dreams into a reality, we must be successful with money because a lot of meaningful contributions can be made to the World by doing so.
The problem however, is that the World has transformed money from being a legal tender and the most recognized means of exchange into being a status symbol and the most accepted representation of wealth or measure of success. In effect, the most popular trend in this our modern time is for those with too much money to be glorified, while those who practically have none are more or less vilified. This worldly trend is not only responsible for making the rich richer and the poor poorer, but also for making those things which are meant to count seem irrelevant.
But as a people, as a nation and individually; we must not fail to realize that as much as "the love of money" can not bring us happiness, neither can "the lack of money". We ought to know that both "the love and the lack of money" are social and economic vices that can be likened to wild birds of the same feathers that co-exist with hidden intentions of outdoing one another. And since they deceptively compliment as well as compete with each other, they both possess similar powers that can easily overwhelm anyone who lacks passion to impact and contribute meaningfully to the world.
So in order to live a happy and relevant life, it is indeed our responsibility to honestly attain prosperity. In essence, we are to diligently fight against "the love and the lack of money with the same measure of godly wisdom.

Point to Ponder
Money is meant to be a resource that bridges the gap between the rich and the poor.
And not a force that keeps them apart.
