EAT THAT ANT..... There is an ant in everyone. READ This full book.

                                                                              
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
As ambitious as the generation today; to make money and enjoy life, it is not wrong if is done rightly. Qur’an (Chapter 5:4-7 and 11-12) affirms that creation is for man’s benefit. The bible record that God had plans for man to subdue the earth. Thus, to take dominion over other things created. God has plans for man and Bible says they are good, not evil plans. God wants His children to enjoy the milk and honey of life that is why He prepared Canaan for His chosen people. You (no matter who you are) are part of this people. We must enjoy life on earth as well as in heaven. Heaven is not for the poor (economically poor) only. It is not only for the rich (wealthy) but both.
The problem comes when we fail to discipline ourselves in God’s plans. We then become like the rich man described in (Luke 16:19-31) the Bible. Disciplined people are not born so. They train themselves to be disciplined. Bible says (Prov. 22:6 paraphrased) train, teach, discipline the child the way he must go that in his growth, he may not depart from it. In order not to depart from the way of the Lord, He teaches us the way of the Ant. But I believe that observing the ant alone may not be enough for this ambitious generation. It is expedient that we eat the ant to fully possess its traits. This book teaches how to capture and eat the ant and have it in you alive as well. It will give you counsel and wisdom from within such that you will become closest to success and yet not farthest from eternal life.

Many are the ways that seem right to men but their end leads to death (Proverbs 14:12 paraphrased). As young as I am, I may not claim knowledge of which way is the best for the pursuit of success. But I believe that through contacts, books and experiences from experienced men, the youth of today and the ageing minority have similar aspirations as to mine. Many people want to be wealthy and enjoy life but the community in which we are located seem not to give such things for free. It is thus imperative that any individual with a future keep the desire and yearn to succeed. Success must however be achieved through the right way. The right way, a pastor said ‘the Godly way, the path which earns us blessings, that which makes us feel proud and give thanks to God’.


The Bible and the Qur’an attest to the fact that man must work to attain his daily bread. Proverbs admonishes from the Bible that in our quest to gain wisdom, we go to the ant and learn. This is because the ant has a peculiar mode of operation that makes it reap bounty in due season. Qualities like sense of duty, discipline, team work, intelligence and foresight just to mention a few are the specialties of the tiny insect.
The ant is tiny but its ways are mighty. So tactical with their ways crafty, they harvest the greatest bounty. They (ANT) Adapt, Normalize and Transforms the irony of their small size and work hard to store plenty food in a giant anthill. There is an ant quality in the nature of every one including you. As we (YOU) Yearn to succeed, we need to Observe those that have already made it and how they did it, and then we can Understand God’s purpose concerning us.
I sincerely and prayerfully hope that God through this book shall inspire you to unleash the ant you. Excerpts from life stories and guidelines from successful people will go a long way in your branding and lead you beyond your big dream. To unburden your burdened life, excuse yourself from the excuses of the world and patiently read this book.

God Bless You!!!

RFFS PRAYER

Anytime I'm called for duty... Wherever deployment takes me, Pervert from my path, any mutiny... But give me the strength to be; The rescuer, the protector and the fire fighter. Whenever I'm gone for stand by... Lord, grant me a listening watch.  All incursions, hazards and risks, May I with my crew identify... Where unavoidable, enable us to mitigate.. Be it in the terminal, tarmac or boarding gate.. Should there ever be an emergency, Wherever fire may rage.. Should there be any shout, No matter the skin or age.. Help me put the fire out, And my neighbor, help me save. And if by your will... Any blood may spill... Leading to any fatality, Protect my wife and kids, And preserve the rest of my crew.

MAY DAY, HER DAY

The kitchen was theirs in the days of old, They were the housewives, so I'm told. So shall the real woman wake, Early from bed and for her family bake, The bread of life. Such was the routine of a good wife. What at all is house chores? A mere sweeping and cleaning course, Yet we're expected to praise them aloud, And pamper them like a manner from the cloud. If this mind of societal stereotype, Keep flowing freely like a leaking pipe, In an era of this economic hype. Shall our women be healthy alive, Even if indeed they do survive? A career woman she's now called, Aid to man when his pocket stalled, Beautifully dressed to work, Yet at home we fail to praise her worth. This is poetry for May day, A caution for men to make hay. As she helps financially at home, Assist her to tidy up the dome. Now she's green and stands tall, But green leaves too do fall.  After all this grass has dried up, What else will dare to spring up?

BLIND DATE

Pre-Social media world had better means for us to make friends.  We needed no data like in modern trends.  Friend requests weren't necessary to send. There was an easier way the world did blend. Those times, little money did we spend. Even when you did not have, someone could lend.  However, to get a date was not as tiresome.  All you needed was life....... Isn't that awesome?  She would ask for your commitment after she had given you her all. She would forgive you even after all,  But for guilt, your heart wouldn't stop beeping. These days you need courage, money, good looks and fame without any debate. All these just to get someone to date else thou shalt be too late.  This particular lady came to me even when I was not ready.  Accepting me, knowing that I did not deserve to propose.  I tried to hide but Grace found me.  In fact, her approach I couldn't oppose and as promised, she has been with me ever since.  Forgiving my sin...
