Romans 8:28, Proverbs 19:21 Continued from Path to Purpose Discovery#1 and Path to Purpose Discovery#2 Why am I here? What was I born to do? In the previous chapter, I made it known that to know your purpose, you need to know your Creator because He is the best answer to the question. I also pointed out the fact that God's mind is in His Word. His Word is a guide to knowing His intentions for our lives. In addition to that, I said that everyone on Earth was created for the same purpose, the only difference is our means towards fulfilling purpose and the audience we are called to reach. Yes, everybody is not called to do the same things in the same way and everybody is not called to everyone. There is VARIETY! That's why everybody is unique in his or her own way. Different personalities, different drives, different likes and dislikes. It's all in God's plan and that is why we should appreciate the way we are because it's only in that state we can ful...

My cousin once told me 'You this girl! It's like you have a story for everything'. I simply laughed and told him 'Who doesn't?' It's very true that we all have a story to tell, be it good or bad, there's always a story waiting to be told in the mouths of everyone. I can give a lot of stories about my experience on Earth. It's been a long windy road and trust me, it's never easy. Is it about friendships, moments gone sour, market stress, school work, pranks on teachers, embarrassing times, bad days, awards or family time...name it! Even the National News! There's always a story lurking in every corner. But then, of what use is a story that can't be told? Of what use is it to have experiences not worth sharing?   When I thought about these questions and read some books, I came to the conclusion that anything not worth sharing is not worth doing at all. If I can't tell you how I robbed someone or did something else with my self...

1 Peter 2:9, 1Corinthians 15:58, Ephesians 6:11 Joshua 1:7-9 Daily, some of us find ourselves confronted with the problem of an identity crisis . We cant really say who we are and what we're here for. This causes a major problem as we may lose our stand and get swayed in our faith. Gradually, you begin to lose touch with God and see 'no big deal' in doing things that everyone else is doing  even without reason. You begin to get lost in the crowd. Now that's  a major problem you need to solve! And fast! As Christ's Ambassadors , we need to take a stand as God's representatives on Earth and not as Earth's citizens. To do this, your identity must be known, recognized, understood and appreciated by you so as to avoid the case of an identity crisis and its consequences. One sure way to discover yourself is in the Word of God. The Bible is your life manual. Every answer you'll ever need in life is in the Bible. With the guidance of the Holy Spi...

Permit me, people of God, to use this medium to celebrate a faithful and wonderful woman of God. Today is her birthday and I've been amiss at what to do for her. But while celebrating her in Church today, I felt I should do this. Nothing is ever too big to give her because she sacrificed what most students would hold dear from God; TIME. She has faithfully kept vigils cleaning God's House and putting it in order for every service. Therefore, I pray her life shall be squeaky clean and rid of all things negative and her steps be ordered in Christ. As she has been a source of joy, comfort and happiness to those around her and saved lives (like mine.. Thanks for the meal tho!), so shall her joy be everlasting and her peace be sufficient in Christ. Awesome Birthday Lotachi! I hope you smile when you see this gift. I love you, big sis from another mother! #Success!

Continued from the last part on purpose... The Path to Purpose Discovery#1 Purpose is one of the most sought after things. People need to have a reason for living. Everybody wants to be fulfilled in life. Our purpose for creation gives us this and it is therefore vital that we know exactly what we are doing on Earth. In the last part I explained that to know your purpose, it is expedient that you know the one that created you. It is in the manual of a product that you get instructions on how to use the product. To know God is to know His Word. The Word of God exposes us to His purpose for our lives. The word of God is God. The Bible says in the book of John that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word of God is therefore God’s manual for our lives. The Word of God reveals the mind of God and that is why it can only be understood by divine revelation from the Holy Spirit. Our purpose is clearly stated in God’s Word so it is our job to...

                                                                                                        John 14:11, 10:38, Philippians 2:12 "What makes you think you are a Christian?" It's quite interesting the responses you'll get. For me however, I was born into a Christian family and I thought I was a Christian automatically by virtue of birth. Along the line, I found out that my parents' salvation didn't guarantee mine so I decided to get saved; get Christ for myself (by believin...

Ten years ago, I wanted to be a computer engineer. Three years later, I said 'No, I want to be a journalist'. Like that was enough, I changed my mind and decided to be an accountant. Now, I'm working towards being a professional accountant wondering what I truly want to be. But I continued because I'm interested in it and was told to just get the degree and leave the rest because things are not as they were or possibly use it as a platform. Nowadays, it's actually playing out isn't it? Nowadays, engineers are becoming bankers, lawyers are becoming secretaries and even doctors are becoming artists. So I can tell myself 'Hey! I can be anything right?!' Then I'd carry myself and start working anywhere and within some three or four years, I'll be a big shot... WRONG! For some very few, fortunate and blessed individuals, it may have worked out but it's right that you acquire financial education too. Just as you acquired the standard (Ni...
