AN EAR FOR A STORY

 Who do u talk to? Who is the permanent ear to your issues? Who listens to you when the need comes. The ear is more  like a dump site. Everything goes there yet it never gets full. The thing with dump sites is that, if the wastes are disposed wrongly then it would have effects. If the ear that listens to you belongs to a bad person then you would get in trouble. Please Be careful 

FOOTBALL INTEREST

 I love  football. It's an interesting sports which requires statistical skills on and off the pitch. Growing up I use to watch most matches, that was  before I developed an interest in my favourite team. Whenever I watched these matches, I took no sides so it was easy to watch. Lately I realised that I couldn't watch matches that featured my favourite team. I normally felt tensed and had to close my eyes whenever the ball was on my team's side of the pitch. Does God have an interest in our livelihood? Does he care when we face problems? Well, from your experience  with Him, what do you think?

LONG LIFE

 Long Life, why do people wish for it? How long do people wish to live? Does anyone wish to live forever? When people wish for long life, it has to be filled with happiness, success, wellbeing and peace; that's comforting right? Is that normally the case? God gives life for you to take care of it. Each day that He gives you  breath is an opportunity for you to live to the fullest by praying, feasting on the word, eating well, exercising, doing good, worrying less, believing in yourself, and above all being you. Don't put up a false identity to please others.

HOMEWORK

Why do teachers give homework? Why do students hate homework? Schooling is all about studying and doing assignments. The feedback of these assignments determine whether students understand what they are taught or not. The unfortunate fact is that assignments are seen as a bother to students, and why is that? Every extra work you have to do might be good for you. You aren't wasting your time trying to go an extra mile. Homework is meant to challenge s student to study harder. If your life is getting tougher instead of easier, it's about time you gave yourself a homework which would challenge you to get better.

BUSINESS

 Business is a world of it's own. Everyone has a different mindset and strategy for it; at the end of the day it should be beneficial to the person in charge. To start a business, you need to have a target market; would it be children or adults, men or women? With that decided, the next thing to consider is the season. Dry or rainy? Let's consider demand and supply; what is in high demand? The most important thing is the capital. How much money can you invest into it? Are you going to borrow it or fund it yourself? All these may be important but if it's gonna thrive, it depends on your commitment.

MUSIC

 There are many genres of music. Under these genres, there are those that carry a message, others just come with a good rhythm whilst the rest either amuse you or surprise you. My focus is those that carry a message; it could be about love, heartbreak, hustling, partying, encouragement, money, self confidence, etc. I believe that you eventually become what you feed your mind. A soil is fertile but would only produce what is planted in it. Music is good, a great way to relax but  I ask what are you feeding your mind?  If you don't mind becoming what you are listening to then I encourage you to keep up but if you are thinking twice about it; it's about time you stopped listening to them.

DISCERNMENT

 Can you tell a good fruit from a bad one? Can you tell a counterfeit from an authentic product? Can you tell an evil person from a good one? I can't read people's mind, can you? People can easily keep their true intentions from you, they can be smiling with you and be plotting your downfall. Another person can also be painted black by others so I ask, how can you tell a good person from a bad one? That's where the spirit of discernment is of relevance; He would help you distinguish between a good person and a bad one. Pray for it.

A TEACHER'S REPROOF

Did your parents leave you in the care of any teacher back in school? How did they treat you? Were you the favourite of any teachers back in school? From my experience, such teachers take delight in disciplining. I use to wonder why those teachers hated me, was it a crime for me to be in their care? Proverbs 3:11-12 states that we shouldn't despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of His reproof, for the Lord reproofs him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. Such teachers only look out for our well-being, they wanted us to stand out in our academics and even our attitudes. 

VOICES

A voice is all someone needed to not make a mistake. "Had I known," a lot of people make this statement after their mistakes. "I wish I knew, I wish someone had told me, I wish it never happened;" but it did. How would you have known when you can't determine the future? You can hear voices, some good and some bad. You can get confuse most times but if you listen closely you can hear better. It's easy to make a mistake but if you would listen closely; I'm certain you would hear God's voice. He would direct you toward the right path.
