My Kinda Weekend!

-
Happy new week folks, I hope the weekend was great? These past few days have been transforming and I have a strong conviction that all my limitations have been wrecked - I couldn't have sat at the feet of a pulpited divine, veteran minister and renowned preacher, Bishop T. D Jakes and remain the same. The weekend was also topped with 'party rice' and 'swallow' my first here in Enugu and in a while since I left Lagos last year and then Chelsea beat Everton with Morata on the score sheet...wooh! Plus Floyd Mayweather beat McGregor....hehehe #Eyanmayweather. It was my kinda weekend 😍.




I had an urge to share some of the points I scribbled during the finale of the Spirit Life Conference themed EMERGE. I'm certain that reading this would be beneficial to you.......you can thank me later on 😉


Bishop T. D Jakes titled his message 'My battle is my bread' and took is text from Numbers 14 vs 1 to 9 where the Israelites grumbled about the wilderness and the reports of the spies after they spied on the promise land. Here are the points I scribbled:



  • Of all things you'd need to be successful, you have to be relentless.




  • You must be relentless enough to pay the price it takes to overcome the obstacles between you and your promise.




  • The promise is always guarded by problems.




  • Nobody places a guard where there is no treasure. The devil places a guard(problem) to stop you from your promise.




  • Most times we are taken out by the sight of the promise, we murmur and exalt it and leave out the promises...just like the spies did.




  • It is not what you go through that matters, it is how you perceive it. Until you see it right, you can't get it right.




  • Anxiety is to react to something that hasn't even happened yet.




  • Never go to battle where there are no spoils.




  • You have to believe! If God let you see it, you can be it!




  • Stop worrying about who says no or how many NOs....keep on looking for that one YES!




  • When you're a dreaming....be careful about who you speak to...




  • You've got to fight for everything God has given you. There's something at the other side that's worth the fight. The battle is a sign that there's bread on the other side.




  • My battle is my bread. I smell the bread!




  • Stop running from fights...you won't get a trophy.




  • You cannot get the promise without going through the process. There's something about the process that toughens you up for the promise.




  • You don't go into the gym to lifts the weights to move them, you're lifting the weights to move your body.




  • If you can't take the battle, you can't eat the bread.




  • Joshua thought he was he was working for Moses, little did he know that the land he was spying out was his.



You'd do yourself a lot of good by getting the whole of this message and other messages at the #SLC2017.


Remember that the battle comes as a sign that there's bread at the other side.

The Wait!

For over a year and a month I have been single, it was devastating at first as we had just four months to clock 3 years but when we spoke about a month after we broke up (she did the breaking) she told me she had moved on. It was hard to comprehend; how on earth do you move on after a relationship of more than 2 years that was so sweet and had no major issues? I was glad that she told me she had moved on though, cos it was all I needed to move on myself - what was I sulking for? Aunty no reason me again na 😂. She's happily engaged now and I'm really happy for her. Source: Google Images They say one of the signs that you're ready to be in a relationshp is that you're happy being single which I literally am. Generally, my love life has been really weird but when I sum it all up, it has been the reason for my healthy heart, my happiness and my confidence. Deep down somewhere - not desperately - I know I am ready for another relationship but I am not panicking. F

The worst things we were told about Youth Service.

Recently, I laid on my bed and reminisced my service year so far. With just a month and some couple of days to go all I envisage is me back to work as a sales consultant or me serving in an African Union member state as a youth volunteer. As I laid thinking over the years gone by as a corp member serving this country(Nigeria), a lot of things came to mind and interestingly one of them was 'The worst things I ever heard about the youth service'. I had graduated in 2015 and wouldn't be mobilized until the end of 2016, luckily for me I got a job and didn't have to roam about or figure out what to do and so when NYSC(National Youth Service Corp) came creeping it was normal to hear things even when you didn't ask for opinions and trust me people always had one or two. There were a lot and I would share as many as I remember then you will decide which is the worst......Leggo!! The first thing I was told was that I don't need NYSC and that it was crap. Ju
