End Of The Year Personal Retreat.

Hi everyone, welcome to the end of the year...lol. It's being such a ride. In few hours we'll exit year 2018 vehicle enter into this vehicle called YEAR 2019. Exciting right? Earlier in the week, my mind was so heavy,and couldn't point out any reason for that. Well, Hillsong to the rescue. While I was soothing my mind with that, I came across the best end of the year message of my life by Apostle Joshua Selman. It really helped me take proper review of my year and life. By the time I was done, I discovered (by being sincere with myself) what I'd done well or not too well this year, the results of my actions or inactions this year. I got insight into what I want next year to be for me and how to go about it.  Why do a year end review? Here are four simple reasons; 1.To identify your lessons for the year 2. Review what has happened this year 3. Regain focus 4. Start the new year on a high note. Here is a glimpse into my note from the message: Maximizing Person

OVERCOMING COMPARISON

 "P ay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.  For we are each responsible for our own conduct". Hi people, its been a while. Hope ya'll are faring well. I would like to talk about comparison here. There is a lot to say, but let's start from somewhere;      Most of the times, you don’t intentionally play the comparison game. It just happens. Before you know it, you’ve sized yourself up, measured someone else by your own standards, or concluded – after some close or most of the time not so close observation and the collection of a few facts – that you’re inferior or superior to someone else.        Comparison is such an ugly game, Jesus warned us not to get caught up in it. In Luke 18:9-14 Jesus told a parable to “some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else.” He told of a Pharisee who thanked God he

Conduit Of Good Works: Purpose.

Hi there.  Hope the week has been good to you? If not, I sincerely pray it does. I really can't make up my mind if to title this piece Conduit of  Good Works or Purpose, but I believe the good works God has called you to conduct at a particular point or span of time is Purpose. Reason why you have them both. Feel free to interchange Purpose for goodworks and vice versa. "For we are His workmanship(His own master work, a work of art), created in Christ Jesus(reborn from above... spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used) for good works, which God prepared (for us) beforehand (taking paths which He set), so that we would walk in them(living the good life He which He prearranged and made ready for us)" Ephesians 2: 10.  From the verse above, God is telling us that we are saved through Christ into the kingdom of God (a candidate of heaven), but also transformed, renewed, molded,carved and made ready to be used for the good works which He has already superi

The Good Child of a Good Father.

Hi guys, It's been a while. I sincerely apologize for my absence. I hope to improve and be more consistent.  I just want to share a quick experience and pick one or two lessons from it. Before then, read and keep this at the back of your mind; The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Psalms 111:10 KJV  A number of us was fortunate to have the nicest and calmest Preceptor during one of my rotations some weeks ago. My doctor (lets call him Doctor A) was just so cool and fatherly, it seemed like everything we did was okay with him. He never voiced out any complain against us. We were like the perfect group. Yeah.... just as you are thinking, there were some of us that really did whatever they liked. They took his calmness for granted so much it became 'normal'. I  started to think of doing the same too. (You know, like just resuming really late without reasonable excuse

Anxiety and you.

"Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]". Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 AMP    The Scripture passage above is one out of the many that God used to encouraged us not to be anxious. But most of the time we are caught up in it. Anxiety is unsettled, unstable state of mind that comes with complexes of problems. It is that feeling of unrest and uneasiness. Yes some things that naturally provoke anxiety happens to us, but we shouldn't permit it. Here are few reasons you get anxious and how to what to do instead  1. Uncertainty/fear of the unknown ; Things are going really smooth for you. Everything is rosy. Lines are falli
