Journey

An Okada or a Keke Napep a.k.a Tricycle would be sufficient to move around within the city but would not be sufficient to move to another state far from yours, a bus would be better but a bus wouldn't be ok for you to make a trip into another country outside your continent, a plane would be perfect for that but you can't use a plane to move within your street, your legs are sufficient etc.
My point is, for every phase of our lives there are people we need and after that phase is over we might not really need them again. The fact that someone helped you get a job don't mean you have to marry them, the fact that I helped you a great deal don't mean we have to be best friends. Sometimes we want the people who helped us get through a phase of our lives get into the next one with us, so we try to make it work and end up frustrated.
Imagine trying to use a use a car to travel from your continent into another. Don't make sense right, that you guys were besties in uni don't mean you'd be besties forever. When certain relationships are dead with a capital letter D, don't frustrate yourself trying to make it work. Remember the illustration used, know when your journey with a person or thing is over, say thank you and don't be so addicted to a particular way of doing stuff that you're blinded to the fact that no matter how hard you try it won't work and would just keep you stagnated. Move on.

Plug-In

The light came on and it was time to watch cable television, i switched on the TV and nothing was showing, hmm what's this one called. Everything looked perfect but yet nothing was showing then i decided to check the wires and there it was, the wire wasn't connected, i got it plugged in and it came one.
Sometimes in life, things might look perfect but something isn't just right, there seems to be a vacuum which nothing can fill unless we plug into God, the chief source of life. Plug your academics, relationships, career in fact everything that has to do with you into God and by that i mean, submit it all to God and ask Him to take control and when you do that, you'd be the one to testify of the benefits. So, if your life hasn't been plugged into God yet pls pray the prayers that end this post, I cannot over emphasize on the benefits, just taste and see yourself.
And if you haven't given your life to Christ yet please pray the prayer below..
Lord Jesus, i confess my sins and i ask that you please forgive me , please come into my life and be my Lord and My personal Saviour Amen.

Wedding Palava

If you just walked down the aisle last week, congratulations but i seriously hope you aren't doing what the person in this story did. Before i go on and this is for the records, marriages are beautiful and there are strong stable marriages but there are still failed ones which could have been avoided if they knew certain things and that's what i try to do I learn from them myself. Pls note that these stories are experiences of different people and if it looks anything like yours, its purely coincidental plus genders can be changed for privacy sake. And if you want to share yours, send a mail to talkwithjane01@gmail.com

A lady who was about to be wedded to the man of her dreams realised some months before the wedding that her husband to be was married with 2kids. The wickedness in the hearts of people is heartbreaking, strong enough to cause a heart attack, sometimes love makes us blind or maybe the rush to get married or trust, i don't know what it is but something makes us less investigative of the people we're dating or about to get married to.
During a mans burial, it was shocking to find out that this man was married to two women who thought the one man, one wife thing existed in their marriage life, only to realise that they had a co-wife wife wife and their kids had a step mom. Sad story but unfortunately these things happen. Ask questions even without the knowledge of your partner we don't want surprises springing up. Most importantly, ask for God's guidance before you get married . I pray you have the marriage of your dreams.

Motivational Monday

I don't know if you've read about Alexander Eiffel, the man who birthed and turned into reality the construction of the Eiffel Tower even when all odds were against him. There was even a protest against the tower which most people at the time called "ugly" but today, almost everybody wants to go there and take pictures as well. But this wouldn't have happened if he gave into pressure.
My question to is will you give up on your dreams of becoming somebody simply 'cos the people around you don't like you or your ideas? Before you give up 'cos of pressure, remember Eiffel, the same people who mock your dreams would still be the same people to celebrate you when you make it. Don't give up, prove them naysayers wrong. I pray God will bless your sincere endeavours In Jesus Name Amen.

The Real Deal

You know when you buy unpeeled groundnuts and peel it, the back comes out but it would be very stressful and maybe silly to try to pick the groundnut especially if its much, so the most logical thing to do is to blow on the groundnuts and the chaff just flies out 'cos they are light but the groundnut stays.
Well, that my friend is what happens when you go through challenges and trials, when the problems around you feels like they could take your life, in those times would you know who the real deal is. When the wind blows, chaff would leave, when problems come, fake friends would leave. Don't cry when they abandon you 'cos its actually for your own good. Instead of crying about the friends that left, why don't you appreciate those that stayed. Call them up today and say "THANK YOU".
If you're going through something horrible and it feels like you're alone, you are not, God is there for you, just call out to Him in prayer 'cos He's the only one who will never leave no matter what. God is the real deal cos he will never leave nor forsake you even when everything else does.
And if you haven't given your life to Christ yet please pray the prayer below..
Lord Jesus, i confess my sins and i ask that you please forgive me , please come into my life and be my Lord and My personal Saviour Amen.

Wordless Post

Ponder on this...

Friday Hangout

Today on Friday Hangout, we look at the story of a man trying to bury charms at the back of the ex girlfriends house, his reason is that the girl "ate" his money but the shocker is this, this man is married with 3kids, meaning the the lady was his mistress. Am totally against infidelity but my question is what was the man expecting? That the mistress would be a side chick all her life. He was cheating on his wife and expected things to turn out well for him and his mistress? Lol no sir,it doesn't work that way.
Don't get me wrong, the lady was wrong but since it was over between them why still go to bury charms. And pls guys when you say a lady "ate" your money, my question is, did she put a gun to your head to make you give her money? No, you willingly did it unless for cases where she deceived you but in this mans case, he was willingly giving her money, e pain him sha. Ladies, here's another warning, nothing good ever comes out from dating a married man.
The man was caught, beaten and stripped naked, he was also made to carry the small wooden coffin and the charms on his head. Wonder how the wife would feel.

Faithful

If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities"-Luke 10:16
Something came into my mind concerning this scripture hence this illustration. If someone asked you for 10k and you gave it to them but after some minutes, you see them squandering the money and they think you didn't see them, please if they come the next day and ask for even if its 5k, would you give it to them? No you won't 'cos in your mind, they would still waste the money. Unfortunately we've all unconsciously done this i.e being unfaithful in little things.
Let's assume you're praying to God to make you famous and then He makes you famous in your state and then all of a sudden you become proud, nobody can tell you anything, do you think God will still want to take you higher? Most times, we are the cause of our unanswered prayer, think back on ways you've been unfaithful in small things and ask God to give you another chance. Remember, if you are faithful in small... More will be given to you.
And if you haven't given your life to Christ yet please pray the prayer below..
Lord Jesus, i confess my sins and i ask that you please forgive me , please come into my life and be my Lord and My personal Saviour Amen.

Manipulative

Everybody at one point in their lives had someone who just knew how to get to them. You could tell the whole world NO but once it's comes to them, whether you want it or not, you just say "yes". At a point, it starts getting frustrating 'cos it now looks like that person is controlling you and making you do things you don't want to do. I don't know if you're in such situation, but there's something you can do, it may be hard at first but its worth doing.
Learn to say NO without any further explanation and if they ask why, just say "for reasons best known to me, that's my final answer and don't bother pushing it 'cos I've made up my mind" try as much as possible to end the conversation at that point by walking out or dropping the call. Know the tactics they use and know how to tackle them when they use such approach. Standing up and facing them by telling them that they can't manipulate or control you is key and if they keep trying, keep resisting them. You're not a coward you can do it.

Nature

Imagine you held a bird by the wings and instructed it to not fly then you put it down and turn to leave, what do you think the bird would do? Of course we all know that the bird would fly away. Why? 'Cos its in the nature of the bird to fly.
Same thing applies to you and I, we were born into sin and that unfortunately has become our nature and that nature as time progresses can cause us more harm than good. As we all know, the end result of sin is death and an eternity in hell, what can we do as we don't have the power to change that nature. Firstly make up your mind that you don't want to live in sin anymore then ask God for forgiveness and then give your life to Christ by praying the prayer that ends this post then ask God in prayers to change you, if you do this with a sincere heart, best be ready 'cos He'll change you. Spend more time in God's presence by studying and meditating on His Word. Finally, don't feel condemned if you're not where you want to be yet, just let God work on you.
And if you haven't given your life to Christ yet please pray the prayer below..
Lord Jesus, i confess my sins and i ask that you please forgive me , please come into my life and be my Lord and My personal Saviour Amen.

What Would You Do?

Report has it that a medical doctor returned 2.1 million Naira that was transferred into her account mistakenly. Now question is, what would you do if you were in her shoes. If it was N21,000, it would be easier to return for some people while others might even do dry fasting and prayer to seek God's face to know if they should return it or not. Some would call it manna from heaven and keep it while some would return it.
Finders aren't really keepers you know? That money came from somewhere, it didn't just drop from Heaven meaning that it belongs to someone, so when you take something that doesn't belong to you, its called stealing. You know too well that you weren't expecting such money from anybody' why don't you reach out to the bank and get more clarification. As honesty is becoming extinct, lets be the rare ones, the last breed. Guess what, you can never tell when the same thing could happen to you and you'd be grateful that someone was honest enough to return your stuff. Remember the Golden Rule, do to others what you want them to do to you.

Belief System

There's one thing i believe that controls every single person and that's our belief system. I believe in God thus my views on certain things, my views when it comes to creation will definitely differ from that of an atheist 'cos i believe God created the Heavens and the earth and they believe something else. If the devil wants to get you all he has to do is make you change your belief and that's all. If he can make you believe that there's nothing wrong in telling lies, then maybe you'd do it. Ask yourself today what you really believe but I'll encourage you to believe in God and our Lord Jesus Christ also believe in His Word 'cos that I tell you is the best belief system.
And if you haven't given your life to Christ yet please pray the prayer below..
Lord Jesus, i confess my sins and i ask that you please forgive me , please come into my life and be my Lord and My personal Saviour Amen.

Hasty Conclusion

I was in the car with my uncle whose last child is older than me with more than 5years but in spite of how old my uncle is compared to my age, we can still talk and laugh. You know that uncomfortable silence when you're with an elderly person it doesn't happen when am with him.
So he was driving me to my soon to be apartment and my side of the window was down so you could see me properly if you look in just then an elderly woman gave me a hateful look and mouthed the words 'tufia' which means God forbid i immediately wound up the window 'cos she looked like she was thinking of spitting on me and dragging me out through the window. In her mind, i was some husband snatcher hanging out with a man older than my dad.
It was around 4pm when this happened and I was wearing a gown which was decent but here's what I think that made her react that way... I was talking and laughing with him which for some reason she feels is not OK and normal, next was the car had a Government house plate number so she thought i was hanging out with a rich politician and finally I think she has seen cars like that come and pick and drop girls lol. Mind you i don't even live there, we were just taking that route to my apartment which was still far from there. Maybe her daughters marriage to a politician was in shambles 'cos of young girls flirting with her son in law, I don't know but here's what i know...
At a point in our lives , we have come to the wrong conclusion over matters that we didn't even bother asking questions about, just by mere looking, we jump into the wrongest of conclusions. Things would be more better if we are not so quick to jump into conclusions, don't you think?

Hungry

I recently started liking one biscuit like that but i found out that I enjoy it more when am hungry than when I just feel like chewing something. The way you would look at a plate of food when you're satisfied is not the same way you'd look at it when you're hungry and that was the only food available, I tell you, you'd eat the food gradually and relish every spoon that enters your mouth and you won't stop till you see the "Made In China". Hope you're not hungry now lol.
Some people don't enjoy studying the Bible 'cos they don't come hungry, if you actually study the Bible having this in mind "I really want to hear or get a Word from God" you'd enjoy it more. I always get myself excited to read God's Word 'cos I know there's always something for me and whether I've read that particular scripture 100times, I always read it like I've never read it before.
Be excited and hungry for God's Word, that way, you'd enjoy spending time in God's presence and get the life out of the Bible.
Confused on where to start? I recommend you start with the book of John, 1 chapter every day, you'd be glad you did. And if you haven't given your life to Christ yet please pray the prayer below..
Lord Jesus, i confess my sins and i ask that you please forgive me , please come into my life and be my Lord and My personal Saviour Amen.

Wedding Palava

If you just tied the knot, congratulations! I pray you have the marriage of your dreams and I also hope you're not the man in this story btw, this is a true life story.
*This man had been dating this girl for some months and had even engaged her. So this guy normally comes to visit her during the weekends and would sometimes sleep over. So one saturday morning, he got dressed ready to leave when the lady asked him where he was going, then she recieved the shocker of her life. The guy brought out his own wedding invitation card and told her that he was going for his wedding and then he left, his car still parked in her compound but but he never returned.
I still cannot wrap my head around this story like do some people still have a living conscience, now the wife might think that the she was getting married to her prince charming, not knowing that he just left his other girlfriend shocked and bitter before coming to tie the knot. My question to stories like this is always, why why why?
Even those involved in this cannot give a reasonable answer to that. This kind of act can get you stabbed to death if you do this to people as mean as you are, so another question is, is it really worth it? You will not go scot free, I tell you, so why don't you just stop that callous act now.
Finally, its always good to seek God's leading and direction before you say "I do" 'cos some people are just walking around with dead hearts and consciences looking for hope, dreams and hearts to crush.

Motivational Monday

Don't wait till you have the traffic wardens uniform before you control traffic. Many thanks to the men who take it upon themselves to pack their cars and come out to control traffic when there are no wardens available. Most of us are waiting till we get to a certain height before we can do anything positive, now my question is what if you never get there?
Not everybody can be the president or governor but in your own corner, there's something you control. You can make a huge difference even in that your little corner, don't wait till you become great, start now. As you positively affect the world , I pray that God will crown your efforts with success. Have the best week ever. God bless you.

Hyperbole

I know that the word "hyperbole" which is a figure of speech is actually pronounced as hyper-ball-le and not hyper-ball but I find it uncomfortable saying the right thing 'cos people might look at me funny and maybe even mock me. They might say am saying the wrong thing and 'cos majority of them don't know the right thing, the wrong thing seems right so I'd rather just say the wrong thing for peace to reign.
How many times have we stopped ourselves from doing the right thing simply 'cos majority of people around us might look at us funny and call us 'churchy'. Because everyone is doing it doesn't make it right you know! If you cannot stand for what is right 'cos you're scared of people reactions then remember that one day those people won't be there. Keep doing what's right, people will get used to it, it might not be easy at first, but you just have to stand your ground. And as i have decided to pronounce hyperbole the right way no matter the weird reactions i might get, also make up your mind to do the right thing according to God's word.
And if you haven't given your life to Christ yet please pray the prayer below..
Lord Jesus, i confess my sins and i ask that you please forgive me , please come into my life and be my Lord and My personal Saviour Amen.
