HUMBLE RESPONSIBILITIES

Back then in school, I used to wash my hostel's toilet and bathroom over the weekend, because the cleaners don’t usually come during the weekend. Some of my colleagues often look at me as if I lack what to do, but then I kept at it. It all started out as joke, I gave it little or no though, but before I realized it became fun. Little did I know that what I was doing was leaving an impression in the heart of most of the guys that used to watch me. A year after, when I returned from National Youth Service, I met these guys doing what I started, and they were even doing it much more than I did. It was then that I remembered what a brother once told me eight years ago, he told me: “accept humble responsibilities and don’t look down on such”. When you hear the word humble responsibilities, what come to your mind? Does it depict some ignored, less important tasks to you? Does doing such make you inferior or less important? Humble services and responsibilities can be seen as roots to a

ACCOUNTANTS OF LIFE

In one of his teachings, the greatest yet the humblest teacher that ever toured the earth told a story of a rich man who embarked on an extended journey. He summoned three of his servants and entrusted them with his possession. To one he gave five talents, another three talents and the other two talents. The first two swung into action and invested their talents and they doubled it before the arrival of their master, but the last one simply dug the ground and hid his. After a long time, the master returned and called them to give an account of what they have done with the entrusted treasures. From what they all did, you can’t but imagine the outcome of the account settling. I was conversing with one of my friends two years ago, and she asked me a question that got me into deep thinking over life generally; she asked me thus: “what is it with people and accountability?” she further said “why do people hate the word ‘accountability’ especially when it comes to money? Immediately my

DOING RIGHT

Ours is a generation where people no longer consider, respect, and honour anything sacred and holy; profanity is the order of the day, morality is disappearing by day, value and self-worth no longer have a say, and society is daily degrading and becoming bankrupt in everything that is right, upright and pleasing to God. Virtually, our so-called post modernism is daily constructing for us the framework upon which we push out truth and everything that is wright from our lives; thus, if anyone is searching for an iota of truth, all that can be found is an altar of falsehood, because truth now lies wounded on our streets. Again, ours is the generation freed from every form of primitivity, enslaved by every sort of conformity and bound by several codes of moral insanity. How comes we have lost it this fast when we have all it takes now more  than ever to live right and do right? Intellectualism, advancement in technology and religion has freed us from every form of primitivity; yet, p

WHAT IF YOU ARE AN ATM?

One blessed night two years ago, I picked up a pen and a page to write as usual, but then I felt blank, empty and exhausted, it felt as if I was completely running out of ideas and themes to write on, actually it wasn’t the first time anyway. It took me quite a moment before I got my groove and flow back on, suddenly ideas flooded my mind dominated by the word “dispensers”. From the onset it doesn’t make any sense, until this revelation came in, that we are all God’s masterpieces; hence we are designed to be unending dispensers of good tidings. Ours is a broken and a starving generation. Agreed, we are educated and surrounded by technological sophistication, that has rippled impact on almost everything we do today, but it is not enough. Indubitably, we may collectively vote in the anticipated “political messiah” into power come 2019, but our brokenness and starvation go much deeper than all these. Many are love starved, always asking who will show us some good? Quite a number of

DON’T LOSE THESE THREE!

The blessings of life is not in "having" but in "giving", the satisfaction of life is not in "abundance" but in "contentment", and the happiness of life is not in "problem free" life, but in knowing that God got your back when you are up against the wall. It is necessary we know these realities of life, because life will not always turn out the way we want it, and it is needful to bear in mind that, life is full of what we have planned for and what we have not planned for. Giving, Contentment and Happiness: Don't lose these three things in life; they are the three most important components that make a successful, satisfying and fulfilling life. These three are anchored on God Himself because only God gives freely, in Him we fine true satisfaction and with Him happiness knows no bound. Not forgetting that "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6). We don’t count our blessings in having but in giving,
