God is not unwilling for us to be wealthy else King Solomon would have a different story. It is His will and wish that we prosper. Jesus and Mohammed (no matter their differences) stress in teaching that as humans, we find our purpose in life and be self-dependent. In order not to be a burden, you must be able to use what you have to get what you need to have. There are various interpretations of this statement above but mine is different. You have God and so you must use your faith and works to get the success you want. Remember that goodness and mercy are your followers so be their leader. It is imperative to recognize and understand what God has placed in you_ seeds of happiness, joy, peace, strength and vision for your life. Once you understand this, you will be able to push past your fears, dry your tears and claim your cheers and wave into your destiny with confidence. If you over depend on someone for food, clothing, shelter, fees, money and other needs you will at a po...

No matter the beginning, the end is what actually matters in life’s journey. Some athletes have fast start while others have finishing momentum. Would you want to start quick and stagger in the middle only to realize that you are overtaken in the final lap? Let not your size, background, failures and discouragements inhibit you from attaining the success desired. Most oft than not, though small or weak, every creation of God can achieve greatness. The Ant as you bear witness is a tiny (insect) animal but has the greatest ambition. It is not for vain that the wisest King who ever lived recognized its wisdom. The feet of other animals are the monsters of the innocent ant on the ground. That is why it fails to remain on the ground but works tirelessly to store up treasure in a hidden place. The Anthill is actually a debris that accumulate as ants build their nest by digging. It looks magnificent at sight so in my childhood, I always wondered how they erected that little hill. So...

Except Action is taken, one can only get ideas but they will eventually remain a dream. Taking action is changing dreams and ideas into reality. Thus, action transforms intangibles into tangibles. Without action my idea to write a book to motivate you could remain a dream in me till I forget it. Dreams are not unforgettable but if a dream is not realized in a short run, it still exists to impact the long run . You can realize these dreams by taking action to jot them down each time a new idea springs out of your thought. The ant would act anytime it feels like searching for food. It would search tirelessly for any smell of food particle till it finds it. The determination in your actions facilitates your ability to adapt, normalize and transform situations around you. One motivational speaker said, money hides in people. It is true because only humans can take or give out money. So unless you solve problems for people, they won’t give out the hidden money to you. Likewise, unles...

                                                                               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 poo...

And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar. And they dwelt there. And they said let's make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone and slime for mortar. And they said, let us build us a city and a tower whose top May reach heaven, and let's make a name. Lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth.(what they feared) And the Lord said, Behold the people is one, they have one language. Go to, let us go down there and confound their language that they may not understand another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of the earth. This piece means no harm at all. It's the truth after all. It is no one's fault, neither is it a bad result. That some nations should be poorer than others. It's all crafted in the plans of the almighty potter. It's not an issue of environmental determinism...

Apart from being a tuber foodstuff, it's also used in Ghana to make phone calls. Prior to a Tigo advert on Ghana Television, a yam is a non android phone with only radio and torch. Therefore if it's not a smartphone, then that's certainly a Yam. As human beings, there are many traits in our genes from birth or creation: Character, nature, dialect, behaviour, ethnicity and colour. Some others can be learnt, others are adopted both consciously and unawares. Most of them good, others not very helpful; those are the YAMS we must get rid of. Whether yours is small or bigger yam, I am quite doubtful. But these few acronyms can be insightful: Your Acquired Motives Your Attitudes and Mindset Your Adopted Mentality Your Accrued Memory Your Anachronistic Misconceptions That part of your character that society shuns is a yam. The little things you believe you cannot stop, this mediocre Mindset is even a bigger yam. Though learnt it from friends, you can do away w...

The half-night service was awesome and the song ministration from her had kept people on their knees. The chorus leader, a very beautiful and attractive God-fearing lady slept late that night. This is the story of this sister who slept and woke up in a foreign land. She looked around and nothing being familiar, she began wondering how she got to be there.  Looking around, she realized a large city with a beautiful small door. Walking to the room, she saw a man in immaculate white robe. That must be an angel, she said in her heart. Mr. Angel, am a stranger knowing not what is going on. The last thing I remember is I slept last night. “This is a body laid down and spirit taken to get a crown. You might have heard of heaven where you came from. Only those whose names are found written in this book of life shall forever rest in paradise” the angel said.  Flipping through the pages in search of her name, she came across names of saints, prophets and friends who kept ...

One old man said to me," when your friends are ahead in life, so are they in rites of passage and so do not hurry after them because if they  truly started, then they will die before you." That's not an option for pessimism but to remove the ladder from the feet of the optimist up there that he may not find it easy coming down._he remains on top. The career you need is someone's bread winner. In his right time he will retire. The lady isn't approving your proposal not because you are incapable but that she doesn't deserve you. Money for the car isn't God's problem but to avoid that accident is his priority. There is enough gift for everyone on earth, even twice as much. But time and chance happens to them in God's own season. Youth of today have ambitious dreams not too great but too soon. Wanting to achieve without creating, making profits by cheating. It is only expedient that you walk towards your opportunity but the pathway matters. God...

There is this popular elitist phrase which which refers to something surprising or totally unexpected. " A bolt out of the blue" A wood or metal, rod for fastening objects together that usually has head at one end and a screw thread at the other secured by a nut. Thus a bolt. No Matter the endurance and durability, no bolt can forever withstand wear, tear,friction, rust and corrosion. It may last for years but only takes a day. Per internet sources,: It all started at age 12 over a free lunch. Ricardo,the fastest amongst them was bickering with his friend over who the quickest sprinter was. Rev. Nugent persuaded them to contest. The winner would enjoy free lunch of choice. At the end, Ricardo was beaten to it. "If you can beat Ricardo, you can beat anyone on the track", Rev Nugent told Bolt. A new star was then born. Born on 21st August 1986, he made history in August 20,2016 as the Olympics legend for breaking records and winning 9 gold medals as reigni...

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...

Little drops of water cannot satisfy the ocean. I call it the insatiable belly of the sea. What would anyone want than to possess all things in the universe? It is a question you cannot answer in this single verse. With the fishes and salt, water and minerals, nothing should the ocean lack. Arguably, every animal on land can be identified in the ocean. There is a horse on land and a sea-horse in the sea and probably a Pegasus in heaven. Thus-the idea of perfect analogies in the fauna of land and sea as part of the perfect symmetry of the Creator's plan. Pliny identified many more things found in the sea than on the land, and similarly points out duplicates that may later be discovered between many non-living articles of the land and living creatures in the oceans. This inference to natural historical antiquity is only to reiterate that the sea has enough to be satisfied yet, it still accepts water, even dirty water. The haves and the have nots, the needy and the greedy, the s...
