Never Give Up on your dreams or in life

You are born and destined to achieve greatness in life, to be successful and significant. It is not a mistake that, out of the entire creation, God decided to create you in his image, and not only that, but he also gave you the authority to rule his creation in this world. He gave you the ability to be yourself, to be the best, to have dreams and achieve them, and live your life to the fullest. He created you with a purpose to fulfil in this world. The question is, "Are you doing all that? Are you using the authority God gave you? Are you dominating or being dominated? Are you succeeding and being significant? Are you living your life to the fullest? Are you fulfilling the purpose God created you for? If you are not, what is stopping you or holding you back? What happened, or what stopped you? From an early age, you had great dreams, a vision, and the desired life to live, and you knew what your purpose was, but you have not achieved those dreams, you have not accomplished that vi

  As depressing, unacceptable, and hurting as it is, most of us live in prisons we call our homes. We surrounded our houses with walls, called stop nonsense, and have put burglar doors and steel on our windows to somehow feel safe and free from being robbed, raped, or attacked in our homes. But by so doing, we somehow put our lives in danger as we will find it difficult to escape in case of fire or any emergency. We lock ourselves inside our homes all because we are afraid of human beings like us who turned themselves into ruthless monsters who terrorise us. How heart-breaking and disappointing is that - to fear someone like you? Even though we celebrate or commemorate days like “Human Rights Day and Freedom Day,” we are not yet free and not enjoying our rights. Even though we have heroes and heroines who fought for us, and some even died for us to be free, we are not yet free because of human beings who turned themselves into monsters who enjoy brutality more than humanity, hate inste

We all have dreams we want to achieve, and our hearts are also full of desires. Be it “the lifestyle we want to live, the person we want to become, the gifts we want to serve to the world, the career path we want to take, the purpose we want to fulfil before departing this planet, etc. All these are some of our dreams and the desires of our hearts. But as life sometimes happens, it does happen that instead of being where you wanted to be, you find yourself somewhere else. Instead of being at the top where you wanted to be, you find yourself at the bottom, not knowing how you will get up. You find yourself doing the opposite of what you wanted to do at that moment and time. You find yourself struggling financially and begging for help while you desired to be helping others. But regardless of all that and those not mentioned - I want to say to you: “Don’t stop believing in your dreams and the desires of your heart.” Please don’t give up on your dreams, and don’t lose hope in life, but b

There are those days we don't even need an alarm to wake us up. We will wake up happy, energetic, excited, and prepared for a new day - ready to pursue our dreams and have a better life.  But there are those days when reality hits hard, and you wish you could not wake up - feeling tired and desiring the night to start again so you could sleep. Those are the days when, instead of waking up excited and ready for a new day, you remember all that's happening in your life. The pain, struggle, debts, unemployment, and all we go through. Sometimes, tears will fall uninvited, and you'll just let them fall. I am talking about those days when you struggle to close your eyes while everyone is peacefully sleeping. It's like whenever you close your eyes, the painful video of your life starts playing, distracting you from peacefully sleeping like others. When everyone is having a good night, you're having nightmares. You cannot stop thinking about all that is going on in your lif

Do you know what your children’s dreams are? Are you encouraging and supporting them to pursue those dreams, or are you unknowingly killing your children’s dreams by wanting them to achieve yours? It is painful how most parents kill their children’s dreams. How they destroy their children’s future by wanting them to achieve dreams that are not theirs and live the lives they are not supposed to live. They (parents) did not achieve their dreams and want to achieve them through their children. They want to live the lives they desired or planned through their children. For example, you would find a father who loved soccer and wanted to be a soccer star but did not, forcing his son to play soccer. He will even buy him a soccer ball and boots, providing him with everything he needs to play soccer. At that time, the son dreams of becoming a musician or comedian, but the father does not care or even know about that. All he wants is for his son to play soccer and be the soccer star he (the fat

Who do you call when you are in trouble? Do they answer and help you, or they are nowhere to be found when you need them? Call God when you are in trouble - He will help and save you. He will never disappoint you or be too busy to help you. Allow me to remind you that - God loves you and cares deeply about you. He created you with a purpose to fulfil in this world, and He will provide you with everything you need to achieve that purpose and live your life to the fullest. He knows that you will face challenges or be in trouble, which is why He says in Psalm 50:15, “Call upon me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honour me.” What do you do when you are in trouble, or who do you call for help? From my experience, I know that when we face challenges or find ourselves in trouble, we often feel fear and confusion. We fear what might happen and get confused or unsure of what to do next. Sometimes, we complain and even ask - Where is God? Instead of calling Him as He instr

To whom it may concern.  Before you go around saying I am lazy and not serious about life. Before saying I choose jobs and am not serious about finding employment. Reach out to me and walk a mile in my shoes to see if I am lazy or if life is hard for me. Check if I am not serious about life or I no longer know what to do or where to go. Walk a mile in my shoes and check if I am choosing jobs or if they reject my applications - throwing my CVs into the dustbin. Maybe you're one of those people. Check if I choose jobs or am tired of working every day but going nowhere with my life. Believe me. It's painful to wake up every day and go to work, but you can't afford or finance your life. It's like you're working to go to work. Sometimes, you don't have cash for transport or lunch, but you're working. And someone will be brave enough to say - you don't know how to use money or are not serious about life. They ignore the reality that the company you're work

Have you ever missed an opportunity because you did not prepare for it?  How did it feel, especially knowing that you needed that opportunity?  Maybe you failed an interview because you did not prepare for it. You applied for a job and believed that you would get that job, but you did not prepare yourself for the interview. As a result, you did not get the job that could have helped you get out of poverty or financial struggles. That is painful. Whitney Young once said, “It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.” Opportunities don't announce themselves; they just come and go. And if you don't prepare - you will always miss them. That is why it is a must to prepare and be watchful. After all, you expect opportunities in your life - So why are you not preparing for them? Why is it important to prepare for opportunities? You will be able to identify, grab, and utilize them. You will avoid regrets and delays tha

We all want to succeed and live our lives to the fullest. We have goals to achieve, dreams to fulfil, and a sense of purpose to pursue. We plan, set goals, and take action to make it happen. But no matter how much we plan or prepare - we will face challenges. We will encounter obstacles, fall, fail, and sometimes feel defeated. We might even feel like giving up. However, the truth is that when all that happens or when we face challenges, it will not be over with us. We should not give up. These are just challenges testing how far we can go and how committed we are to our goals. Through whatever you are facing, know that God is refining and developing you to become the person He created you to be. He is preparing you to receive the desires of your heart and all that He has in store for you. Whatever you are facing, do not give up. I might not know what you are going through or the pain you are feeling, but what I do know is that it is not over with you. Maybe you have been praying but h
