TRUTH SERIES 38:KEEP YOUR F AND I 'll KEEP MY DREAM.'

2011-01-10T06:38:00.000Z

Welcome to 2011! Our year of going to the next level.Which ever level you are now,there is still a next level to be desired and step into. My desire for you and my self is that for every quarter of this year, what we have set to achieve will manifest beyond our expectations. I want to quickly share this inspiring story with you ,an excerpt from the book chicken soup for the soul,I believe it will challenge you to follow your dream.If there is one thing to follow passionately in 2011,it is your DREAM.Many will follow what the News or the Economy has to offer.But once more I challenge you to follow your DREAM.

It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable ,race track to race track,farm to farm and ranch to ranch,training horses.As a result ,the boy's high school career was continually interrupted .When he was a senior,he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

"That night he wrote a seven page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch.He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200 acre ranch ,showing the location of all the buildings,the stables and the track.Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000 square -foot house that would sit on the 200 acre dream match.

''He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it to his teacher.Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red F with a note that read ,'See me after class.'

''The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,;Why did I received F?'

''The teacher said ,'This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.You have to no money.You come from an itinerant family .You have no resources .Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.You have to buy the land.You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay a large stud fees.There is no way you could ever do it.'Then the teacher added , 'If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal ,I will reconsider your grade.'

''The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.He asked his father what he should do.His father said ,'Look son ,you have to make up your own mind on this.However ,I think it is a very important decision for you.'

''Finally,after sitting with it for a week ,the boy turned in the same paper ,making no changes at all.He stated ,'You can keep your F and I 'll keep my DREAM.'

The young boy who is now a man turned to his audience and said I tell you this story because we are right now sitting in my 4,000-squared foot house in the middle of 200 acre horse ranch.I still have that school paper framed over the fire place.''he added the best part of the story is that two summers ago that same school teacher brought 30kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.When the teacher was leaving ,he said , ' Look ,I can tell you this now .When I was your teacher ,I was something of a dream killer .During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams.Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.''

As you live through this year,develop enough courage and gumption to keep and follow your dream.BECAUSE IT WILL COME TO PASS.Now is the time!

Planning

A wise saying goes thus:He who fail to plan is planning to fail.

Another important thing that highly successful people do is that they plan and prepare for their entire day. They only concentrate on the things that are urgent and important. Then, they discipline themselves to start working on their most important tasks and stay with them during the day until theyre complete.

Association

He who walks with the wise shall be wise. Proverbs 13 v 20.we can as well say He who walks with a successful person will succeed too. Who you associate with determine how effective you are preparing to succeed in life.

TAKE NOTES- Think on paper

The shortest pencil they say is longer than the longest memory. Develop the habit of going round with writing materials, jot down your thoughts and ideas always and Ponder on it.

Think on paper. If you study and prepare yourself, your chance will come as well. There is nothing you cannot accomplish if youll invest the effort to get yourself ready for the success that you desire. And there is nothing that can stop you but your own lack of preparation.

Your possibilities are endless, your potential is unlimited, and your future will open up for you when you prepare yourself for the success that must inevitably be yours.

GET READY FOR SUCCESS,ON YOUR MARK ,SET ,GO

TRUTH SERIES 36-PREPARING FOR SUCCESS in 2011-PT 2

2010-12-21T23:17:00.007Z

GETTING READY FOR SUCCESS

There are a series of things that you can do to become ready for success. All of these activities require self-discipline and a great deal of faith. They require self-discipline because the most normal and natural thing for people to do is to try to get by without preparation.

YOU MUST HAVE FAITH

Success most times are not attain at the beginning and at first attempt. Sometimes you have to keep on doing what you believe in until a desired result is achieved. To increase our passion for success ,a lot of faith is needed as we prepare for success i.e a strong believe in our actions towards fulfilling a set goal.

Preparation also requires a lot of faith because you have no guarantee that your preparation will pay off. You simply have to believe, deep within yourself, that everything you do of a constructive nature will come back to you in some way.

You have to know that a good effort is never wasted. You have to be willing to sow for a long time before you reap, knowing that if you do sow in quality and quantity, the reaping will come about inevitably with force of a law of nature.

FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTH

In preparing for success, one of the very best questions that you can ask yourself, continually, is: What can I do, that if done well, will make a difference in my career? Your ability to honestly appraise yourself and to identify the particular skill area that may be holding you back is critical for your future success.avoid those areas that you dont enjoy because youre not particularly good at them. It requires faith and character for you to admit your weaknesses in a particular area and then resolve to go to work to develop yourself so those weaknesses dont hold you back.

GET INFORMED

One of the greatest changes that has ever taken place in our society happened in 1989 when the world changed from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. We are now living in an information-based society. Because of the internet and other technological advances more than 60 percent of the working population is in the business of processing information in some way.

This means that we now are living in a knowledge-based society and you have to be a person of knowledge if youre going to succeed. To succeed you must be able to work with your mind, your mental talents and abilities. Gone are the days of laboring in the factories and the mills.

THINKING

In a way your thoughts are connected with your success. You must first succeed inside your thoughts before you succeed in the physical world. Today you can succeed only by thinking, and the more effectively you think and the better prepared you are mentally, the more productive and positive youll be.mind you, if you must think, think out of the box, think possibility ,think creative.

READING

One of the most important things you can do to prepare yourself for success is to set aside one to two hours each day to read something uplifting. It will amaze you that He who does not read is not different from him who cannot read. Read material that is educational, motivational, or inspirational. If you spend at least one hour each day investing in your mind, taking in mental protein reading good books, business magazines, trade journals, and newsletters.

See you for the concluding part as u get prepare to succeed in 2011.

TRUTH SERIES 35-PREPARING FOR SUCCESS 1

2010-12-21T23:03:00.003Z

PREPARING FOR SUCCESS 1

There is a quotation by Abraham Lincoln made when he was a young lawyer in Springfield, Illinois. He said, I will study and prepare myself, and someday my chance will come.

In my own words, I see success like an occasion or an examination we must prepare for.

Lets Ponder a little bit, what comes to your mind when you hear the word success? What then is success?

Success is simply achieving set goals or getting what we desired.

Success is having results i.e Positive.

Success is also becoming who will dream or desired to become.

Everyone wants to be successful. Everyone wants to have more, be more, do more, and enjoy more of what life has to offer. Everyone wants to be successful. But very few people want to engage in the rigorous hard work, hour after hour, month after month, and year after year, that is required to prepare themselves for success.

You too, want to be successful. You want to be a big success in life. You want to develop your potential to the maximum. You want to be everything you are capable of becoming. You want to make all the money you possible can and enjoy the finest standards of living that you can achieve. You want to earn the esteem and appreciation of all those people around you whose opinions you care about. The way to be successful has never changed. Success requires preparation.

Preparation and Opportunity

Author and speaker, Earl Nightingale said that if a person does not prepare for his success, when the opportunity comes, it will only make him look foolish. Youve probably heard it said repeatedly that luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity.

It is only, when youve paid the price to be ready for your success that you will be in a position to take advantage of your opportunities, when they arise. And the most remarkable thing is this: The very act of preparation attracts to you, like iron fillings to a magnet, opportunities to use that preparation to advance your life. You’ll seldom learn anything of value, or prepare yourself in any area, without soon having a chance to use your new knowledge and your new skills to move ahead more rapidly.

See you in Part two of this write up as I write on what are the things to do in getting ready for Success.

TRUTH SERIES 34-REAL MONEY IS VALUE !

2010-08-31T20:06:00.003Z

Hope you can still remember the guy who won 10million naira in the MTN Who wants to be a millionaire show? He got to the show with zero naira but He left with a 10 million naira ultimate cash prize. During the course of this write up ,I will remind you of the guy’s name and why was he able to win the 10million naira just like that within 30mins of sitting on the hot seat.

Meanwhile, Let me start by establishing this fact that everybody want money, but very few get it ,because only few have what it takes to make money.

Money is not what one pursue, it is what one attract- Fela Durotoye

By the way, what is money? It is a medium of exchange .It is a legal tender.
Lets take a trip back to history,Before the use of money. It is the Trade by Barter system that was in place, which is an exchange of one item to get another item which has the same proportion of value. E.g. 10 tubers of yam for 10 tubers of cassava, during that time, everyone must have something at hand to be exchange for another item from another person at any particular point in time.

What is then REAL MONEY? It is simply VALUE. It is not the paper note. It is intangible. It cannot be seen with the naked eyes. It cannot be touched. Value only be seen with the mind but it can be felt.

Life is indeed buying and selling, it is a natural law. So in life, to get real money, one must either have something of value or do something of value in terms of services. Value is an intangible resources or wealth which must be converted to tangible wealth.

Intangible wealth in form of value are

A, IDEAS
B,TALENTS
C,SKILLS
D,KNOWLEDGE

The guy who won the 10million Prize money on MTN show is Aroma Ufodike , He won the cash prize because there was an exchange, he knew something in terms of knowledge which is value. The value of what he knew helped him to win the 10million he won. He came there with his intangible wealth and exchanges it for MTN 10Million naira. So simple!

It may surprised you that what the yahoo yahoo boys, kidnappers, militants , armed robbers are looking for is real money but they don’t have something of value to earn it.

So to be relevant, beyond been employed you must have something of value ,which must be converted to a tangible wealth, by packaging it in a business plan, proposal ,services etc. then automatically real money will flow in your direction. See you at the top as you are on you way to make your millions. Discover something of value you can sell to your world today.I look forward to hear from you.

God bless you. God bless Nigeria !

TRUTH SERIES 33-MY NEW FRIEND

2010-08-24T03:45:00.003Z

This week I will be sharing with you a conversation I engaged with my new friend, which we can all learn from. Some few weeks ago at the restaurant, I met a young man, a graduate of geography and town planning. I overheard this young man telling the guy sitting beside him that he is frustrated, he said how can I as a graduate not have a meaning job , at a point I don’t want to interfere in their conversation not until when he said ,even if he has opportunity to smuggle cocaine out of Nigeria, that he does not mind to be involve.

I can’t but share my thoughts with him that he does not need to be involved in such illegal act.

We engaged in the following conversation.

Unique seun: I ask my new friend , what if you are caught by NDLEA? He could not give a straight answer. I told him you will spend the rest of your life in jail, which is not the best for you.

My new friend: He said in this country that one need connection to make it but unfortunately , nobody is willing to help.

Unique seun: I agreed, but I ask how prepared are you for this connection? Hmm, He ponders on it for a while. I gave him a scenario, which goes thus, what if by chance you meet with the minister of housing. As a graduate of Town planning and Geography, what will you put before the minster? Do you have a business proposal? Do you have a business card? I told him an exchange must take place before he can get anything out of life.

My new Friend: I have an idea of rural housing Estates.

Unique seun: fine, have you put it in black and white?

My new friend: No, I have it on my head.

Unique seun: Hmmm, I told him point blank, you are not yet prepared, that what you have not put in black and white, you have not yet believe in it, and you cannot work on it or take action on it. I said the bible is so powerful because it is the written word of God and same goes for the constitution of any nation.

My new friend: Hmm, He nodded in agreement.

Unique seun: I said success only happens when preparation meets with opportunity. I told him, now that you are not yet employed, you have the greatest opportunity to sit down and think your way out of your present situation. I told him he has a great future ahead of him. That he just need an idea to access the wealth of the land.

First and foremost, I told my friend, he should never put money first in what ever he wants to embark on, because at first ,you will not always have enough to start something.I said this is the key, You need to ask yourself these sincere questions, What can I do well? What do I have passion for? What am I good at? What do I have now to get what I want ?

After about 35minutes of our discussion, my new friend was encouraged, he reversed the statement he earlier made that he will get himself involved in pushing cocaine. He admitted that he made the statement out of frustration, that now, I have helped him to see things in a new perspective and I have given him a new understanding. He thanked me and said I am God sent.

Dear reader, our words are powerful. We may not have all the money to give to people around us, but we have the power of life in our tongue. Let us watch out for people around us who are frustrated and discouraged, lets spend some few minutes with them and share some word of life with them. My new friend went away challenged and inspired to start something. I see my friend in the future becoming a CEO of a big corporation or a big businessman in Real estate business.Remember a candle loses nothing by lighting other candles.

TRUTH SERIES 33-OUR OPPORTUNITIES MUST BE EXPLORED

2010-08-14T07:59:00.007Z

Let me now share with you what I delivered, I started with our opportunities must be explored. I started with a quote, Winston Churchill “A pessimist will always see difficulty in every opportunity, while an optimist will always see an opportunity in every difficulty.” I asked who are you? A pessimist or optimist. I proceeded by telling them Opportunities abound in Nigeria, that there are no green pastures any where, that it you that will determine to make a place a green pasture. I said unfortunately, why many of us are traveling out in frustration to seek for greener pastures, that foreign business men are coming in to tap into our opportunities to do business. A Yoruba sayings goes thus, nkon taw a lo si sokoto wa ni sokoto wa, meaning what we are looking afar of is within where we are. I said opportunity is all about discovering a need and providing services to meet that need, very simple as ABC, It is solving problems. But I told them, where many young people have challenges is that opportunities are not seen with naked eyes, they are only seen with the mind.

I made them realized that going to school is not to graduate and start looking for job, but the essence of going to school is to build one’s capacity to think to solve problems. I emphasized that there are no jobs for job seekers but only for problem solvers. I sound it clear that organization main goal is not to employ people but to meet some certain objectives; they only employ problem solvers to meet that set aims and objectives.

I challenge my audience that if we have enough problems and challenge them we have enough opportunities too. That our challenges are proportionally to the opportunities available. In US for instance, they have less societal problems, they have a good conducive environment, because most of their problems have been solved.

I highlighted 7 areas where they can tap into:

A, ICT

B, FOOD

C, ENTERTAINMENT

D, EDUCATION

E, LEADERSHIP AND VALUES

F, FASHION

G, AUTO MECHANICS

I hope I have been able to challenged you too by this write up, I want to hear from you. Don’t forget, Opportunity is all about discovering a need and meeting it,in doing so,money flow towards you.SEE U ON TOP.dreamnewnigeria@yahoo.com, 0803 443 8232,WATCH OUT FOR MY COLUMN IN THE NEWSPAPER SOON!

TRUTH SERIES 31-MOVE WITH UR CHEESE

2010-07-24T17:03:00.005Z

Who moved my cheese by Spenser Johnson is one of the Life changing books I have ever read. It is a mini story like book of about 150 pages which one can finish in less than 3hrs and the impact is Life long, and I thought it well to share some vital Life lessons I learnt while reading the book. I first read the book in 2003 which I have read so many times.

The story is about four characters, Scurry and sniff are the mice, while the hem and haw is the little people. They face unexpected change when they discover their "Cheese" has disappeared .Each character behaves differently and responds to situation differently. Some of us act like exactly the way each of the character behaves. It is either you are a sniff, scurry, hem or haw.

Sniff- He sniffs out change early.

Scurry- Scurries into action.

Hem- He denies and resists change as he fears it will lead to something worse.

Haw-He learns to adapt on time when he sees changing can lead to something better.

CHEESE represent what we want or desire in life which could be a job, money, house, wealth, health, relationship and so on. Everyman desire to have a cheese. We need it because our happiness depends on it. approach to look for it.
Most times, cheese are not always where we think it should be, so we have to be determine to move ahead and take a new

MAZE represent where we look for what we want in life i.e. the CHEESE. Maze could also represent Life. We each live in a "Maze", a metaphor for the companies or organizations we work with, the communities we live in, the families we love places where we look for the things we want in life, In as much as everyman desire a cheese, it must be look for so as to get the good things of life which brings happiness and fulfillment

And how we look and where to get our cheese are different. Each individual determine the cheese he is looking for and where to find it. Failure to get our cheese in life could lead to frustration. Our character most times help us to locate on time where to get the cheese. When we get our cheese on time, we are refers to as been lucky or favour.

Like sniff and scurry in the story, they were able to locate the new cheese station ahead of others. But unfortunately for hem because of his character and attitude,it was difficult for him to locate the new CHEESE STATION. I pray that will not be our portion in the journey of life.

I need to quickly share 6 lessons I learnt while reading this life transforming book.

LESSON 1-HAVING A CHEESE MAKES YOU HAPPY.

LESSON2 – IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE, YOU CAN BECOME EXTINCT.

LESSON 3- OLD BELIEFS DO NOT LEAD ONE TO FIND NEW CHEESE.

LESSON 4- IT IS NATURAL FOR CHANGE TO CONTINUALLY OCCUR, WHEATHER YOU EXPECT IT OR NOT.

LESSON 5-WHEN YOU CHANGE WHAT YOU BELIEVE, YOU CHANGE WHAT YOU DO.

LESSON 6- LET GO OF THE PAST AND ADAPT TO THE PRESENT.

Above all, I highly recommend this book for you, this is one book that will help you to adapt to change ,with =N=500 or less you can get a copy, and I bet it with you ,it will give you a new approach in life to develop a positive change attitude to get the next cheese you desire in life.

You may be asking, who moved my cheese? Oh it is no more there, While asking, you have got to MOVE AHEAD TO LOCATE THE NEW CHEESE STATION.

ACCESSING THE NATIONAL WEALTH LEGITIMATELY

Moreover the profit of the land is for all-Ecclesiastes 5:9a

WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

A, Nigeria has a National Cake, like every country on earth; it is called the National wealth.

Every Nigerian deserved a Portion of the National Cake,but sadly only very few get it.

B, The National cake is to make the entire citizen Prosper.

C, Only less than 8% of the population i.e only about 11million out of 140million Nigerians has access or benefited from the national cake mostly politicians and Govt/public office holders.

D, Earning salary as an employee is a least means of benefitting from the National cake.

E, You too is entitle to a portion of the National cake and you can access it legitimately.

F, You must have something to exchange or trade with to access the National wealth.

g, Nigeria is not Poor, Nigerian has a national Wealth.

I,THERE IS A PORTION OF THE NATIONAL WEALTH FOR YOU.

WHAT YOU MUST DO.

There must be something you must do to access the National wealth; it does not come on a platter of Gold. Ponder on this scenerio, Lets us assume ,by chance you meet with the minister of Youth or even President Jonathan face to face for 5mins, what will you present before him?

Have you discover any opportunities the country can tap into?

Do you have a business plan?

2010-07-06T22:57:00.004Z

God is Nigerian enough to bless the country with the world’s 10th largest proven crude oil reserves and the 7th largest proven reserve base of natural gas .Nigeria is about the 12th largest producer of crude oil in the world and the 8th largest exporter. Nigeria has the best weather condition through out the year coupled with large expanse of arable land for Agriculture. All these shows that Nigeria is one of the richest countries in the world .But unfortunately majority of Nigerians are just potentially rich, larger percentage live below poverty line. I don’t want to use the word the poorest people because we are not poor; we are potentially rich because the country wealth is enough to go round.

Let us start this way with this analogy. An heir of a wealthy late father is entitle to some of his inheritance? I guess your answer is yes. Ok let us move on. By virtue of you being born in Nigeria, naturally you are a citizen by birth and Nigeria becomes your fatherland. I hope I am right and correct?

Ok let us come from another angle. Come to think of it ,millionaires and billionaires around the world ,people like Bill Gates, warren buffet, Richard Brandson, aliko Dangote ,Jimoh Ibrahim etc one thing they have in common is that they came to this world with nothing and they were not born with silver spoon but at a point in their lives ,they accessed the portion of their country’s wealth because they were doing something and people are paying for it.

Hmmm, interesting they were doing something, hope you are also pondering, like I am too. Lets move on, let me share some things you must know about the National cake. I will put you through in my next write up on how to assess the National wealth.There is a portion you must access,after all the profit of the earth is for all.see u next week.

Thank you so much for reading this write up.I will appreciate your comments.

TRUTH SERIES 28-THE PARABLE OF THE TREES

2010-07-02T12:20:00.006Z

As I was pondering over what to write on this week. I remembered a story in the book of judges 9:8-15.Which I think I need to share with my readers. It is a great message on Leadership, Values and service.

There was a time that all the trees decided to make one of their own, king over them. The trees then went ahead to the Olive tree to request of him to be their leader. He replied and said “Should I leave my fatness which is used to honor God and man”. They further went to meet the Fig tree whose reply was the same as the Olive tree. On and on they went moving from vine and fig trees to seek their opinion on the issue, but all had same response to give.

It was only the Bramble tree that had a different response out of all the tress that was approached, he decided to take up the position of the king, with the condition that he has to be served by all and whosoever refuses to serve him will be dealt with accordingly.

LESSONS LEARNT

The olive, fig and Olive trees had the following in common:

A, They were already adding value to God and man.

B, They exhibited leadership qualities.
C, They were proffering services especially in their area of call.

D, They were meeting needs.

The bramble tree on the other side had the following characteristics:

A, The bramble tree wasn’t adding any value to God and man. (The bramble is a thorny short plant that only produce fire to terrify and consume other trees).

B, The bramble tree wanted every other tree to subject to his authority, He was a dictator and a ruler and not a leader

C, The bramble tree wanted other trees to come under him, as such limiting their abilities to his own abilities.

I believe you can learn a great lesson from this story about Leadership and service. The bramble attitude is a typical example of what goes on in our nation and in the Africa continent. We define leadership with Position and Title as against Service and Value adding. We believe that it is until when we are given a title or position that we can lead appropriately, whereas the essence of leadership is service which the Vine, Fig and Olive trees all exhibited.

The Vine, Fig and Olive trees provided something that is useful to both man and God, where as the bramble is not adding any value. He is selfish and only wants to intimidate other trees like most African Leaders do.

Remember leadership is about adding values and meeting needs through creative and productive thinking. Are you providing any services? Are you meeting any need? Are you solving any problem? If yes, then you are already a leader in your field. Very soon, you will find yourself in a Leadership Position. SEE U AT THE TOP.

TRUTH SERIES 27; WE ARE INEXCUSABLE !

2010-06-15T12:20:00.004Z

Most times, we find ourselves making comments as follows

EXCUSES
• The Government is bad, they are thieves. • It’s about you.
• I have no capital to start with • Start with what you have.
• There are no Jobs. • Create one
• I don’t know How • Browse the internet.
• I am not educated. • Go to school
• I am a Nigerian. • It does not matter
• I don’t have money.• • No, but you have something.
• I am not recognized.• • Recognize yourself, Be relevant.
• There is no time.• • 24hrs is enough.
• I am not computer Literate.• • Get trained.
• There is always power failure. • Look for an alternative

These statements are often made because we are unable to achieve or attain something we know and believe we ought to, or somebody we ought to have become.

It’s so amazing that our generation is so good at making excuses to justify our not been able to maximize our potentials and abilities to the fullest. Some times we make excuses to justify our inability to respond to what we have failed to do. Whenever you hear yourself making any of the above excuses, you know deep down inside of you that you are not been sincere with yourself. The truth of the matter is that you lack the WILL POWER and in some cases the problem of not wanting to extend outside your comfort zone, for instance, if you constantly give excuses about not knowing how to go about a particular situation, then it is most likely that you are unwillingly to learn how to. After all, you learnt how to crawl, eat, talk, and other basic things we know to do now.

Making statement like the Government is bad, is not a veritable reason not to utilize your potentials in contributing your own quota towards National growth and transformation, its all about YOU, and what you have and need to give and not about the government alone. It is not about your skin colour, or your origin, it is your content that matters. We need to know that Black colored balloon too go up if it is filled with air.

WE HAVE ALL IT TAKES

Our generation is so blessed with so many resources like the internet, mobile phones, facebook, laptops, blackberry, twitter and so on which we can use to advantage. We just have all what it takes to achieve all what we need to achieve and maximize our Potential.

In this 21st century, we can learn any thing we want to learn under the earth with just a click on the internet .We can connect with just anybody anywhere in the world through face book. We can read any book on the internet to get adequate knowledge to solve problems. We are inexcusable!

We should Stop manufacturing excuses start manufacturing solutions, ideas to be relevant. Until we stop making excuses, we won’t be able to make any meaningful impact.

TRUTH SERIES 26- MAKING A NAME: CREATE SOMETHING

2010-05-26T16:36:00.004Z

"Come; let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves

In the beginning God created…God being our creator has created us in His own image and after His likeness so as such we have the same potentials like Him too to create. I have used the word POTENTIAL because most people sadly enough in their life time could not discover this innate power resident in them and as such they could not make a name for themselves in their life time. But today, I want to put it to you that you have all that it takes inside of you to begin to think and act like a creative person as God Has made you irrespective of your background, skin color, educational qualification etc.

The Power to create lies in our ability to imagine. You need to sharpen your imaginative skill constantly if you want what we desire in life to come into manifestation, things don’t just happen like that, it starts in our imagination. Let us do a short exercise, some names are listed below, who comes to your mind when they are mentioned:

A, Virgin Atlantic
B, DAAR Communications
C, Microsoft
D, Covenant University
E, Silver bird
F, chair centre
G, Ovation.

I hope you guess right. We can see that for each of the above named brands, an individual name comes to mind. This goes to show that these people have made a name for themselves from their brands. They have created something that was not in existence before now. They have imagined something from the realm of the invisible to become visible. For instance, MICROSOFT is Bill Gates, Bill Gates is Microsoft, his real name and his brand name can be used interchangeably. Microsoft did not exist before until Bill Gates imagined it from the invisible world and brought it to the visible world.

After the creation of Heaven and earth, the Towel of Babel is another story that depicts how far imagination can be turned into reality. The men said, “Come let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, and they had brick for stone and bitumen for mortar”. Before that time, bricks were not in existence, what we had was stone, but they were able to imagine how bricks can be turned into stones.

There are thousands of things still missing in our environment, which someone, some where have to imagine and work on to make it a reality. It could be an invention, an idea, an organization, a book, a product, a business idea, a software program etc. These men building a towel interrupted God’s agenda in heaven, because of what they have imagined and were about to create. God had to come down and see the progress of the city and the tower they were building. I am persuaded that God Himself was amazed at their innovation.

I challenge you today to activate the power of your imagination, and I can assure you that the sky will be your stepping stone not even your limit……….IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT,THEN YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

TIPS TO MAKE YOU A CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL

1 Do not despise any thoughts that drop in your mind, write it down and take action.
2 create time to think.
3 Rub minds and associate with people that make things happen.
4 Read books and magazines that will motivate you to imagine
5 Be sensitive to your environment.
6 Always implement and work on what your mind has conceived.
7 Believe in yourself, even if no one else does.

Your response and comments will be appreciated .thanks.

TRUTH SERIES 25- IT’S IN YOU

2010-05-01T22:10:00.008Z

These treasures are hidden in earthen vessels- 2 Corinthians 4v 7

It’s in you, you just have to dig deep and be at the top of your game -KANU NWANKWO in Peak Milk Advert

Everyone has muscles, only those who exercise theirs become visible. Your muscles in this case refers to your gifts. Most times we acknowledge what others have but unconsciously we fail to acknowledge and recognize what is deposited in us. Often times we say

-José mourinho is one of the best coaches.

-Obama is world best leader and orator.

-NICE is Africa best hip hop star.

-messi is a good dribbler.

-Drogba is Africa best striker.

-YOU IS ...........?

-what about YOU? What are you saying about yourself? What are people saying about you? What do people know you for?

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. -Philemon 1 verse 6

There is a good thing in every man, but it can only be effective when we discover and acknowledge it. Like kanu Nwankwo said, we just have to look with us and dig deep to discover and bring out what we have within us. The key is self inventory, it’s time for you to look with in, we have been looking around, we have been looking up to our environment and the Government, and the outcome has been disappointments and discouragement.

I encourage you today to look within to discover and exercise those gifts. IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE TOP OF YOUR GAME. Don’t be limited or shortsighted by your educational certificate i.e. B.SC, B eng, LLB, B .Ed, PHD ETC).Take a journey within and tap into the treasures God has deposited inside you. Remember Joseph gift made him appear before the King, David gift promote him from the far back to the Top. SEE U ON TOP.

TRUTH SERIES 24: WHAT IS YOUR VISION?

2010-04-09T21:46:00.004Z

²⁸ "
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.-JOEL 2 V 28

We are in the last days, what visions are you seeing? What vision are you seeing for yourself, community and Nigeria as a whole? The young men in Joel 2 v 28 refers to both young man and woman.

We live in times and seasons to catch a vision to create the future, and not to complain or Siddons look.

What is vision? Vision is the ability to see a picture of a desired picture within the mind and taking responsibility to make it a reality.

-vision is the ability to see beyond now or today.

-vision is the ability to see into the future.

- Vision is the Picture you are seeing within.

The power of a Positive vision is the most forceful motivator for change for success, an individual, organization and nations possess.

In spite of numerous challenges facing us as a nation, the power of vision will make you as an individual to be committed towards achieving a Positive Noble cause.

Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

Vision preserves the future and give the people hope. But where there is no vision, the people die, cry and goes hungry, which is the situation that is happening in so many African countries because the Leaders lacks vision. Africa is in dire need of Visionary Leaders. Vision is what makes a Leader .It is a virtue of a Leader. People follows a Leader, the Leaders follows the Vision.

I challenge you today to catch a vision for yourself and Nigeria. Nigeria needs people like you and I who can see beyond Now. People who can create the Future. The power of vision motivated the Wright brothers to overcome disappointment and failure and build a flying machine. It motivated a small, unrefined, motley group of 12 men to change the world. They caught the vision of their leader, Jesus, and set the whole course of history.

I urge you to do the ff,

Believe in your Vision

PROTECT YOUR VISION

WRITE YOUR VISION

WORK OUT YOUR VISION

SET GOALS FOR YOUR VISION

SHARE YOUR VISION

TALK YOUR VISION

PICTURE YOUR VISION

See you in the future as catch a Vision and develop enough Passion to make it a reality.

TRUTH SERIES 23: WISDOM

2010-03-01T06:44:00.010Z

Wisdom is the principal thing, in all thy getting get understanding - prov 4v5

I was at the Sunday morning service , My Pastor preached on the message ,title: wisdom ,In this week Truth series ,I will be sharing with you some of the things he said and most things that were running through my mind during the preaching.

One of the profound statement he made was that wisdom is doing the right thing at the right time with the right purpose to get the right result. He said wisdom is knowing what to do to get the desired result. He said most people can fast and pray but still few lack the wisdom to know the right thing to do. And knowing what to do Now is what takes one to the next level of our lives which we all desire but very few people get to their next level because they lack the wisdom.

WHAT IS WISDOM? According to wikipedia,Wisdom is a deep understanding of people, things, events or situations, empowering the ability to choose or act to consistently produce the optimum results with a minimum of time and energy.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it.- david starr jordan

Through out our classes from kindergarten in Nursery to our final year in the university ,and even in our post graduate courses .Their is no subject called wisdom 101 or Introduction to wisdom or The Principles of wisdom, but from the scripture above ,we are made to understand that wisdom is life fundamental, in finance,marriage,business,career,Governance,Leadership,Relationship etc.

In this age and time, we need to manifest wisdom to our world ,we need wisdom to be relevant, we need wisdom to be relevant. My Pastor shared the story of Esther, that with wisdom,she presented Her case to the King, to the point that the King committed himself to do anything She wanted from him. In this generation, where graduating with first class is not a guarantee to secure a job; wisdom is needed to know what next to do. wisdom is needed to know which business to venture into, wisdom is needed to know how to raise capital to set up the business, wisdom is needed to know how to rightly implement business ideas. It now occurs to me that many are idle and jobless especially youths because they lack the wisdom to know what to do with what they have or where to start from.

⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously -James 1v5.May God give our generation wisdom to be relevant and to do the extraordinary in our NATION.

TRUTH SERIES 22: YOU ARE THE CAPITAL U NEED

2010-02-16T06:35:00.008Z

THE GREATEST CAPITAL REQUIRED IS YOU ; YOU ARE THE HUMAN CAPITAL

Most times, people especially young people complain they cannot start their business ideas because there is no Capital i.e money, But I want to challenge you with an Inspiring real life story I read in a Book. Here goes the story….

A mega laundry business started with an individual who knocked at a door “I can wash and iron for you, provide me water and soap and iron “he was given the entire household’s clothe, he washed, ironed and was given N1,000.He started washing for an entire block of six flats N 6,000 per week.

He hired 2 young boys and moved into the next block of 6 flats that is N 12,000/week because he did well he moved in into the next until he took on the entire estate of 36 flats : N36,000/ week and then 4 staff.

With these he started buying equipments and then he started all over again in another estate until his turnover in a month was over N100, 000.

He then stopped washing within the estates rented a shop at the heart of town, bought a truck and started bringing in clothes from about 50 families.

His new neighbors saw a track record of excellence and they started taking their clothes there…and then his turnover jumps from N100,000 to N800,000 and on and on,

…he started with no dime .So check out your own version and start out. THE GREATEST CAPITAL REQUIRED IS YOU; YOU ARE THE HUMAN CAPITAL. ( excerpts from the Blue print by dele Osunmakinde )

The YOU which is the human capital you have now comprises of your

-Passion i.e what drives You.

-Determination i.e your strong desire and commitment to do something.

-Social Network i.e People you know includes friend and relatives etc

-Talent i.e what you are good at.

- Abilities i.e what you can do with ease.

-Will i.e Your ability to make a decision.

-Faith i.e ability to take steps on what you are seeing in your mind.

Focus on them , and it will generate the money you need.send uir feedback comments to ,dreamnewnigeria@yahoo.com, 0803443 8232

TRUTH SERIES 21-WHAT ARE U SELLING ?

2010-02-07T18:44:00.007Z

Therefore he said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. 13 And he summoned ten of his slaves, gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business with these until I come back. ’ -Luke 19; 12-13

If these people names are mention, Ali baba,Tiger woods,Pst Sam Adeyemi, Ben Bruce, Didier Drogba,Robert Kiyosaki,Wale adenuga, kaffi,fela durotoye, etc

What comes to your mind?

Ali baba-humor and comedy
Tiger woods-Golf
Pst Sam Adeyemi-success power and daystar
Ben Bruce-cinema and silverbird
Didier Drogba- Scoring Goals
Robert Kiyosaki-Investing and Real estate
Wale adenuga-super story
kaffi-dancing
fela durotoye- values
YOU -?

In short what comes to your mind is what these people are known for and what they are selling to their world. What are you selling to your world?
There are Laws that govern the world which we can’t change,compete or contest with. It works irrespective of location, tribes, people, continents, seasons etc.
Some of the Laws are-

A, Law of sowing and reaping
B, Law of Gravity-what goes up, must come down.
C, Law of buying and selling

In life, we are either buying or selling .The world is a market place ,to be relevant and be fulfilled in Life everyone must come to the market place to trade or occupy with something. Because no individual have or known everything. Buying and selling must takes place, But we will be more happier and fulfilled about life when we are selling more than buy. To put it this way, the rich sells more than buying, while the poor buys more than selling. It is the poor than enrich the rich because they sells more than buying. 29 For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. Matthew 25v29

The creator, God has blessed everyman according to different abilities with something to trade with, so nobody is empty. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.-Matthew 25:15-16

Our major assignment in Life is to discover what we are born to sell or trade with. Or else we will be occupying doing nothing or we will be helping others to sell what they are selling. Remember, your educational certificate might fail you, but what you are born to sell and deliver to your world will never fail you, because it is unique. People are ready to pay for what ever you are ready to sell it could be your ideas,abilities,skills,Talents,Knowledge and so on. See u next week.

TRUTH SERIES 20;FROM JOB MENTALITY TO WORK MENTALITY

2010-02-02T18:40:00.000Z

Hope you are blessed and inspired by the last week write up on Job and work.This is the concluding Part.

Like the Israelites, against there will, they Labour for the Egyptians, Pharaoh keep them under bondage and slavery. God had to rescue the people because it was against what He originally Plan for man. He delivered the Israelites just to worship him and to set them free from bondage of Hard labour Job, because their Labouring job did not give them time to worship Him.

In our Present world, the same system is in place, we are told by our Parents to get a University Education degree and Look for a JOB, we need to break away from the Job mentality to Work mentality. Our Thinking have to change.Every one of us has a work to do. Work mentality encourages entrepreneurship. People with Job mentality Blame the economic situation, Leaders,Government, their boss etc. While people with work mentality take advantage of opportunities to implement their ideas.

As thousands of bankers lost their Job, it is a blessing in disguise as it will give some of them opportunities to discover their work. May God deliver us from the Job mentality? It is slavery. Are you doing a Job or a work?

How to break away from the Job Mentality.

1, Think out of the box, because there is no box.

2, Be creative.

3, Be a Risk Taker.

4, Be courageous to implement Your ideas.

5, Be focus, be Determine, Be committed.

6, Be Responsible. Don’t wait for the Manna.

7, Discover,Develop and Get occupy with your Skills and Abilities.

8, Have faith in God,But believe in yourself.

9,Discover your assignment.Because Your assignment define your work.

This is how the New Nigeria we all dream of will emerge ,as many of us break away from Job mentality to become employers, Pioneers, Entrepreneurs and Business Owners.

I Pray a New You will emerge as you break away from Job Mentality.for feedback comments, dreamnewnigeria@yahoo.com, 080 3443 8232

TRUTH SERIES 19;ARE YOU DOING A JOB OR WORK? PART 1

2010-01-26T18:37:00.007Z

“We might not all have Job, But we all have a Work to do”

What Job is

- Job is Labour

- Job is what we do btw 8am to 6pm i.e Morning till Evening.

- Job is involve Pay as its motivation .i. e salary or wages.

- WORK is a mental effort to bring forth the unseen.

- WORK is an idea that is not in existence before.

- WORK is creation i.e. bringing the Physical world from the unseen world.

- WORK is created by God. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested ^a]">[a]from all his work.-Genesis 2v2

- WORK is an assignment design for every man.

- WORK is what we discover we need to do or start.

God created the Garden of Eden; He employed Adam as an employee to carry out the Job of cultivating and maintaining the Garden.

JOB VS WORK

As God’s creation, he has created every man to be involved in a work. He has design man to be fulfilled in his place of work or assignment. The employer is not restricted by time; Location, He or she can work at anytime at anywhere. While the ones who does the Job i.e the employee, must be at the duty post whether He or she Likes it or not. He has no control over His time.

TRUTH SERIES 16:NIGERIA NEED YOU

2009-12-17T16:56:00.010Z

There lived a teenage boy who came from a humble background; he was also the youngest in his family. He resides in a town which was constantly besieged by war. Also, his country men are forced to contend with a giant who oppress and dispossess them of their belongings; as such the people live in perpetual fear. All attempts to overthrow this giant usually prove abortive even from the best of qualified and trained solider. At last! there came an opportunity for the young lad to confront the giant, it was an unexpected time and experience for him, with his little knowledge of hunting and a resolute mind, he was able to surmount the giant which has been terrorizing them for a long time. At the end, he became a record breaker, he became a hero, he became a commander, He and his family became popular, He delivered his nation, He solved a national problem and he later became a king. The young man is David, an Israelite; the giant soldier is Goliath, a Philistine.

Dear reader, I believe you were challenged by the David and goliath story, you must have been inspired by the courageous act of the young lad. You too can be the David of our generation! There are overwhelming challenges in our society today. Ranging from poverty to corruption and to diverse political and economic unrest. Nigeria needs you and I, You and I are the solution. We all have a mandate to solve a problem. Let us arise to obey the clarion call. Dare to be different, dare to be a pace setter, dare to be a record breaker like David.

Nigeria need you, take that bold initiative, be involved in a noble cause, start something positive, ignite a change. There is a dream you can interpret, there is a goliath you can kill, and there is a broken wall you can rebuild. You will be remembered for it. YES YOU CAN! YES WE CAN!

TRUTH SERIES 15: BECOME A LIGHT IN A DARKEST NATION

2009-11-29T06:11:00.010Z

14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they

put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the

same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good

deeds and praise your Father in heaven. MATTHEW 5: 14-15

Our country is facing diverse problems; chief of them is electricity
power supply. Nigeria is producing just about 3,000mwatts of
electricity for its 140million while another African country of 80
million people is generating 45,000mwatts of electricity. Because of
this grossly inadequate power generation, Nigerian economy largely
depends on the use of alternative power source of generators, which
is quite costly and weighing down.

Our country has been rated as one of the darkest nation on earth interms of electricity,this same country has the Largest numbers of Born again christains,who as well be refer to as the righteous,so we are blessed with people who God called the light of the world,But,unforturnately, we are where we are today because the unrighteous and the wicked ones who are mostly at the helms of affairs,they have refused to do things right.They intentionally make our refineries and power generation stations not funtional because of selfish gains. Only God will judge.

In spite of all these,there is still hope for us as an individual and as a Nation,because God has planted you and I in Nigeria,who he refer to as the Light of the world,Light is only celebrated when their is darkness.We have a mandate to rise to responsibility.We have an assignment to respond to what we can do.In the midst of many goliaths threatning our nation,You and I are the davids of our time.In the midst of racism threathning the blacks American in early 60s,Martin luther King Jnr rose to the occassion,and He has put his name in the sand of time,You and I can do it,YES WE CAN.

Evil prevails when good men do nothing -Edmund Burke

I can boldly say millions before have lost hope on our qualification,but some thing tells me that God most times manifest when His people are in tight corner,just before the match,many refer to the super eagles as super chickens,which is not patriotic enough.

There are many Lessons we can learn from this qualification ,which we teach us not to give up our dream of our New Nigeria.Lets take a look at some of the Lessons.

LESSON 1-BELIEVE THERE IS HOPE FOR NIGERIA,NIGERIA WILL NEVER BE A FAIL STATE.

LESSON 2-WE SHOULD ALWAYS WISH NIGERIA THE BEST INSPITE OF ALL ODDS.

LESSON 3- WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE POSITIVE .WHAT WE SEE ARE PHYSICAL THINGS ,WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

LESSON 4-IN EVERY SITUATION ,WE SHOULD ALWAYS SEE HOPE AND NOT GIVE UP.

LEASSON 5- NEVER SAY NEVER .EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE,NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

TAKE A STEP BEYOND YOUR ANGER : PART 2

2009-10-18T01:58:00.000Z

Hope you are challenged by the last week truth series. This week we will be concluding the TAKE A STEP BEYONG YOUR ANGER SERIES.

We want to take a look at some other group of Nigerians who are angry ,also we will conclude it by what to do about our anger for some our economic situation we found ourselves.

The Lecturers are angry too because they feel that the people at the helms of affairs should know better ,like our president ,vice president and the Honorable minister who are all former lecturers, but there attitude shows that they only pay lips service to funding university education.

The entrepreneurs and business owners are also angry too because running their businesses with generators has been frustrating, considering the high cost of diesel, the cost of maintenance of the Generators couple with the noise and poisonous carbon monoxide gas emission. They feel there is nothing to celebrate about our 49th independence.

The employees too are angry because their take home Pay does not take them any longer. Some spends about 60% of their salary on transport.

Should we all be angry? Is it ok or normal for us to be angry? Is their any thing we can do about our anger? The answers are yes. We should not stop at been angry alone; we should all go further to do some thing positive about our anger within our sphere of power and influence. To be candid too, I am also angry about the situation of things in my country, But I took the initiative to write this article to challenge Nigerians to do something Positive about their individual anger. If we all do that, then the process of change has been ignited .God bless Nigeria.

see u next week!

TAKE A STEP BEYOND YOUR ANGER : PART 1

2009-10-13T12:09:00.000Z

TAKE A STEP BEYOND YOUR ANGER : PART 1

As we celebrate the 49th independence of our great Nation Nigeria. It is obvious that Most Nigerians are angry about one Situations or the other. Every group of Nigerians has a cause to be angry about a situation or the other. If it is not education, then it is power failure, if it is not sports then it is bad roads and kidnappings. If it is not strike, then it is unemployment, the police and so on. Let’s take a look at what could be the cause of the anger of each group of Nigerians that makes up the population.

The secondary students are angry that they cannot resume school after their long break because their teachers are on strike.

The undergraduates are not happy too because that have been at home for up to four months because their Lecturers are also on strike, and the university are shut, while their counter part in the private universities are in session, to add to it , our President went to open a new university in a far away country also blessed with the same crude oil we are blessed with too.

fresh students who just graduated are not happy too because they cannot be mobilized for NYSC after months of graduation because the nation universities are on strike.

Nigerians are tired of buying fuel for their generators every day, as if they are filling their gallons with water, which no man can do without. It is now a fact that Nigerians buy more fuel in gallons than filling the gallons with water. The abnormal has become normal. God should just help us.

Most Nigerian youths who just completed the NYSC, are angry too because they can’t get the jobs even after years of their passing out. There is some thing we should be able to do about our anger. Becoming angry alone will not take us anywhere further.Should we all be angry? Is it ok or normal for us to be angry? Is there any thing we can do about our anger? see you in the next series for the concluding part.God bless Nigeria!for comments mail to ,dreamnewnigeria@yahoo.com,0803 443 8232

TRUTH SERIES 9: CHANGE YOUR FOCUS.

2009-10-06T10:32:00.003Z

TRUTH SERIES 9:CHANGE YOUR FOCUS.

Most times, we blame our leaders and Government if things don’t work. when there are no good roads, no jobs ,no light, no water and even when the environment are dirty ,we blame the government. It is true that Our leaders in Government are some times guilty , but not all the time, You and I sometimes are part of the of the problems. But if things must change and if we have to achieve the Nigeria of our dream, we have to quit the blame game and shift focus to our individual initiatives to make a change.

The truth we have to know is that Great Nation are not made by the Great Government but by the efforts and contributions of Great citizens like you and I. We have to shift our focus to how we can develop and position ourselves to develop our nation Nigeria. You need to ask yourselves the following questions if you genuinely want to become an Agent and catalyst of change in our National Rebirth.

A, what positive change can I make?
B, what can I contribute to make a difference?
C, what business can I start to be self employed ?
D, what opportunities can I take advantage of ?
E, How can I make my dream a reality?
F, what positive steps can I make to actualize my dream?
G, what positive values do I have to offer?

I f you can sincerely answered all these questions, then you will see reasons why you have a part to play in National Transformation .Also a demand will be place on you as an individual to develop yourself to develop our dear Nation Nigeria.

As we celebrate the 50th independence of our great nation Nigeria, make a decision to stop focusing on Government if things don’t work , but rather take up the challenge to look within yourself to bring out a solution.

When we focus on Government for everything, we will only complain ,talk & analyzes problems , see scarcity, challenges, obstacles ,problems and so on. But if we do other wise by focusing on ourselves, we will see opportunities, ideas, change, and solutions and so on. This is the new mentality and one of the truths every Nigerians youth needs to know.

TRUTH SERIES 8-DIRECT OUR NOBLE CAUSE

2009-09-21T05:46:00.000Z

Dear fellow compatriots,
As we look into the virtues of the 2nd stanza of our National Anthem,Hope u were inspire and challenge by the previous write up on the topic.which focuses on the first line: OH GOD OF CREATION!
In this week edition we will be taking look at the 2nd line,I pray that as u read ,u will develop a new passion to take on a Noble cause for the sake of rebuilding our dear Nation.

DIRECT OUR NOBLE CAUSE

Every Patriotic citizen that wants her Nation to experience greatness must definitely be involved in a Noble Cause. Many of our leaders have a selfish Personal interest against the National interest, which has been the bane of our Predicament as a Nation. A Noble cause is a worthy Cause.God is looking for faithful and Righteous Men He wants to commit the Noble cause of rebuilding this nation, we can be that man today. Our Noble cause should be to build a Nation where peace and justice will reign, to build a Nation we will all be proud of.

We all wish Nigeria could be a better Place, but very few patriotic citizens go beyond wishing to take action, most times we look onto our leaders but we have a part to play and a role to act which is the Noble cause. Nehemiah had a Noble cause to rebuild the Wall of Jerusalem. God directed him and He actualized God‘s plans for Jerusalem, David was in a mission of Noble cause when He risked his life to fight Goliath and by this the Israelites were delivered for the Philistines. So shall it be for us as a country if God can direct all our Noble cause towards the rebuilding of a New Nigeria of our Dream where it will be the desire of foreigners to come in and live in.

Our Prayer is for God to make each and everyone of be involved in a Noble cause and to direct our strengths, ideas, passions and efforts to build the New Nigeria we all desire. There is a Noble cause God has called us as Christians to be involved in, Let us prayerfully discover it today.
see u in the next series as we go into the next prayer point,which is GUIDE OUR LEADERS RIGHT.

PASS THIS WRITE UP TO AT LEAST FIVE PPLE.LET THE CHAIN OF CHANGE CONTINUE WITH YOU.

NIGERIA HAS A GREAT FUTURE,LETS HAVE A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE!
I will like to hear your views and comments.

TRUTH SERIES 7:THE POWER OF THE 2ND STANZA

2009-09-08T05:34:00.005Z

Let’s take a look at the 2nd stanza of our National Anthem .Its wonderful to know the power it carries.

Oh God of creation,

Direct our noble cause

Guide our leaders right

Help our youths the truth to know

In love and honesty to grow

And living just and true

Great lofty heights attain

To build a nation where peace

And justice shall reign.

It’s so amazing that Nigeria is one of the country in the world that has a legislated and constituted anthem of prayers. Let us analyze it line by line. This shows that God has great destiny for our nation, but it’s a pity that we are where we are today. But in the midst of all the corruption, kidnappings,killings, injustice, poverty and embezzlement. There is hope for us if only God can answer all our Prayer requests in the 2nd stanza of the Anthem. Then our present predicaments will be a thing of the past.Lets analyze the first line "OH GOD OF CREATION"

OH GOD OF CREATION.

And the children of Israelite cried unto God, And HE Heard their cry. EXO 2:23-24

This first line symbolizes a cry and call unto God for help. Any country that must make meaningful economic and infrastructural development must make God their foundation and source of help. Only Righteousness can exalt a Nation. As we turn to God of creation for help, He will turn the destiny of our Nation around as He did for the Israelite.

I believe u have been challenge by this short write up. See u in the next series as we analyze the 2nd line “DIRECT OUR NOBLE CAUSE” .Keep on making a difference Nigeria is more than map, it is you and I that make up Nigeria.

The wealth of Nigeria is not in her oil but is in you and I.We are the greatest asset of our Nation.

Nigeria will be great again!

TRUTH SERIES 6: S/A 2010 IT IS NOT YET OVER

2009-09-08T04:56:00.011Z

I want to dedicate this week truth series to lift the spirit of Nigerians on the hope of Super eagles to be at south Africa 2010,why are things fallen apart for us ,its used to be our power,our education,our banking before and now our football again,to many Nigerians the super eagles are now super chickens,but I want to encourage you not to lose hope,though our chances may look very slim,but I still believe Nigeria flag will fly at south Africa 2010.I don't know how it will happen,but I believe it can happen,never say never.we have put ourselves in a tight corner for God to prove Himself,so that we can thank Him for our qualification,Let us keep hope alive.

what they have to do

1, The players need to play with more fighting spirit,they have the skills,but the fighting spirit is missing.

2, They need to play as a team.

3, They must imagine and have a picture in their mind playing in the world cup.

what we have to do.

1, In spite of all odds,though it may be very difficult to still believe in our super eagles,but we just have to remain patriotic and give them our full support that they can still make it happen.

It is not yet over.

starting from Next week,we will be focusing on the power of the 2nd stanza of our National Anthem.

TRUTH SERIES 5:CREATING NEW NIGERIA WITH OUR WORDS

2009-08-31T13:48:00.008Z

" In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss, while a mighty wind swept over the waters, then God said," Let there be light," and there was light."- (Genesis1: 1-3)

The above Bible quotation is a reminder that the first creation happened through the spoken Word, Furthermore, the unchanging nature of the creating forces indicating that man's true nature is also unchangeable.

God has also given man the creative power through the word. Everyone including you has the power to speak positive words, but sometimes we choose to speak negatively because we have develop a negative mental attitude towards a situation. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down or even the change the situations around us.

Because of many challenges facing our Country(Nigeria),Most times ,the people speak negatively against our leaders,the government and the future of the country.words like Nigeria is jagajaga,I cant make in Nigeria,it cant never change,it is not possible and so on does not take us any where further rather it draws backward.it is true that some of our leaders might be guilty,but speaking negatively does not move us ahead an inch.

If we pray for our country,we also need to speak positively,our words are powerful,because it also pushes also to go ahead to do positive actions.Inspite of our challenges

let us all keep hope alive.let us create the new Nigeria we want to see and live in by our words.Let us all have a different attitude like Caleb, in spite of the giants in the land ,He said they are well able to go and take over the land,and they did.
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Joel Osteen

God bless Nigeria.

TRUTH SERIES 4-WHAT ARE YOU SEEING ? OBSTACLE OR OPPORTUNITY

2009-08-21T08:47:00.005Z

TRUTH SERIES 4-WHAT ARE YOU SEEING ? OBSTACLE OR OPPORTUNITY

Two sales men who work for a shoe company were sent on a market survey in a village with a population of about 30,000 people. The two sales men came back with two different reports .They both got to the village and discovered the people their don’t wear shoe, sales man A reported that since the people don’t wear shoes, there is no need shipping shoes to the village. He concluded that the company should look else where to expand the market. while sales man B reported that since the people don’t wear shoes, that it’s a great opportunity for them to expand their market to the village and also ship more shoes to the village. The difference between marketer A and B is that one saw obstacle while the other saw opportunity to make more money and make a difference the lives of the people.

The same scenario is what is happening in our country, while many Nigerians are waiting at the different embassies to travel out of the country ,many foreign business men are coming in to settle down to set up and run businesses because they have discover a huge opportunities. nkon ta wa lo si sokoto ,wa ni sokoto wa ( A Yoruba saying) meaning what we are looking for a far of is right where we are.

What are you seeing? Are you seeing challenges or opportunities? Because in the midst of our numerous problems lies solution if we can see. Indeed there are many problems around because there are many Nigerians too around to provide the solutions.

Let us Quit the blame game and take up the challenge to see and think differently.

I pray that God will open the eyes of Nigerian Youths to see. Amen

TRUTH SERIES 3:OUR TRUE IDENTITY AS NIGERIANS

2009-08-13T23:59:00.006Z

For quite some time now.The Honorable minister of information and communication, Prof Dora Akunyili has embark on the project of the REbranding the image of our country ( Nigeria) .

The world has label and brand us 419ners,Drug pushers,Human traffickers,Corrupt People and all sorts of demeaning labels.just because of the actions and inactions of few Nigerians.If out of 140million people ,only few are corrupt ,it does make us a corrupt Nation.

A Nigerian will not be allowed to arrive a country without a thorough security search and security agents will even follow him about till he leaves that country. Nigerians will not be accepted by paypal or clickbank ,the largest payment processor and digital product bank respectively on the internet.

what the world has called or brand us is not who we truly are.

That is our true identity:

Nigerians are Hospitable

Nigerians are intelligent

Nigerians are Hardworking

Nigerians are creative

Nigerians are talented

Nigerians are Trustworthy.

Nigerians are Great people.

This has been proved in so many ways ,where young and old Nigerians all over the world have set record breaking achievements in sports,Arts ,Literature ,Dancing ,computer. medicals, and so on.It is also in record that all over the world Nigerians are the best professionals in Medical,Sports,Lawyers, nursing and so on.

Be a truly Nigerian.Let us all take a stand to arise and truly live who we truly are wherever we are.Good People Great Nation.

TRUTH SERIES 2-PRAYERS FOR NIGERIA

2009-08-08T16:10:00.004Z

If my people who are called by my name , will humble themselves and pray and seek my face ,and turn from their wicked ways ,I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their Land. -2Chron 7 v14

The first line of the second stanza of our National Anthem goes thus" O God of Creation",this implies that we are God's people and our nation is a God's own nation. prayer is communicating to God,in other words, it is asking God for something with intense yearning. As our nation faces many challenges,it is obvious that we need a spiritual touch for national restoration and rebirth.because it seems what we are passing through as a nation is beyond human wisdom.

I was listening to US secretary of state ,hilary Clinton,on her recent visit to kenya,when she said "Nigeria is the 6th largest producer of crude oil but the country still import fuel",she does not understand why it is so,neither do I too as a citizen.it is a sorry situation.I dont understand why we cant explore and refine our fuel,why cant our refineries work?why cant we implement our budget well?why cant we generate our electricity? we have all the dams,gas ,wind and sunlight.but still we can only generate around 3megawatts of electricity. we indeed need God to help us,we cant continue like this.Andrew Bonar once said There is no hope but in prayer.our only hope now lies in our prayers.

fellow compatriots,A t this point ,it is true that we are the most religious nation,we need to consciously and genuiely remember our nation in our daily prayers ,prayers changes things it makes the worst situation to become better.Everyday we should also let our words be positive to correspond with our prayers.If it well with Nigeria,it will be well with Nigerians as well.If God can hear the cry of the isrealites ,I believe He will hear us too,in our own very eyes tranmsformation will begin to take place one by one.so shall it be IJN.-amen

we should pray like this:

A, O God , Guide our leaders’ right

B, O God , Help our youths the truth to know.

C, O God , help us to live in love and honesty to grow.

D, O God ,help us to attain great height

E, O God , help us to build a nation where there will be peace and Justice.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.
