I begin this piece with “perspectives”, which is the evaluation and assessment of a situation or a person from one's point of view. It is actually no news that we all have our perspectives as uniquely designed individuals, with which we view, assess and categorize the unfolding of events in day-to-day life. Hence your perspective can either open you up to an entirely new discovery about life in others and events or cage and limits you within the walls of yourself. Have you ever imagined if the world only revolves around your perspective? Or better still, what would have happened if everything is all about what and how you see things? Come to think of this, where will the world be if it is to see things through your own lenses? You see, there is more to life than what meets the eye. We are meant to be each other’s stepping stone to greatness. Having talked a bit about perspectives, I would want to keep the ball rolling with the fact that there is this divine perspective in

I attended my cousin’s sendoff prayer/party few years back, and just like other occasions, I observed something that captivated my curiosity. Beyond the euphoria of the atmosphere, the glamour of what women wore in their various cliques and the ecstasy of the day; in the fecundity of my mind, I was caught up into deep thinking about the sitting arrangement and the order of the whole arena. It is normal in every occasion for order and decorum to be maintained, and the sitting arrangement of different set of people be given due consideration.  Hence you could imagine the invited guests seated up on the high table, exchanging pleasantries fitting their given position in the occasion. Again you could imagine the unit and set of men/women who often are siblings/relatives, friends and well-wishers. I am sure you can relate with the picture I am trying to paint here. This scenario is no different from the order and arrangement of life. It is obvious that we have this set of people wh

Midway into this week I was conversing with one of my friends who has a photo studio around my locale. Our friendly discourse hinged around how the abnormally harmful wrong has now become the normal right in our generation; how that if you try to stand out you automatically become an object of ridicule. This is however our sad reality that if not handled headlong will leave little or no sanity for the next generation. Like I stressed out in my last piece that we are all uniquely designed to live one effective and fruitful life, not to be torn in-between divisible, unfruitful, and ineffective lives; that from the beginning of time, God knows you by name; He has singled you to stand out, to live as one individual that ever lived.   You are a masterpiece, a rare work of art, God’s magnum opus. This simply implies that you have a customized identity worth protecting regardless of whom or what comes your way. Let’s start from the family; you might be many in your family, but God sees

Ours is a generation where people often find it easy to live a lie, where hiding behind the mask is the in thing, and being true and real is fast disappearing. People derive pleasure from living another person’s life regardless of the cost and the subsequent consequences.  Hence, I often ask myself; if you spend your whole life copying another person’s life, who will live your own life? There is nothing so tasking and demanding as living a dual life; it requires extra effort to keep and manage both identities and personalities. Unfortunately, many people don’t know that where effort and strength is required, there is bound to be exhaustion, tiredness and high tendency of being worn out before fulfilling God designed purpose for one’s life.  You are uniquely designed to live one effective and fruitful life, not to be torn in-between divisible, unfruitful, and ineffective lives. There is nothing that thrills and excites the enemy of your soul – Satan like you living a double lif
