Symphonies Of Truth

Nothing is private anymore. We are all trying to catch some attention, so we do all that we can do to get it. We capture all that we can capture, to get the attention we desire,  and call it fame.  Fame or being liked? Then we pretend to look perplexed and taken off guard and say it is life. Nothing seems private anymore. Privacy is a thing of the past.  An old word for an old world. Nothing is private anymore. We want to be known… known for something.  Whatever it may be to make that little money or rather just be noticed. For our opinions to be heard, or so we say to ourselves. So we try to come up with new ways of doing things, whether they may be intelligent or daft. We just want to be recognized for whatever. We are all looking for an easy way out.  To inspire and be poetic in whichever way we can. But when we try, we find that it's difficult to attain.  And authenticity is a price that not everyone can afford. So we do anything we can to attain it. Forgetting who we are and t

Everybody wants to be somebody.  Make a life for themselves. Make some kind of difference. Everybody has something to say. Everybody has advice to give. Everybody wants to be heard. Everybody wants to be appreciated.  Everybody wants to be obeyed. Everybody wants to be the hero in another person's story.   We all have problems we have to face and deal with. Everybody wants to be seen as good and kind and loving. No one wants to be told what's wrong with them. Everybody is searching for the secret to life. Everybody wants to be seen as deep, intellectual and intelligent. Everybody wants to be loved. No one wants to be left out. Everybody wants to feel included. Everybody wants a second and third chance and all the chances they can get. No one wants to be criticised and told who they are. Everybody wants happiness and success wrapped in one. Everybody is looking for the answer to life and ease. Everybody is looking for money.  Everybody Is looking for the kind of adventure that w

God is goodness personified, Love manifested. Therefore, since He is love and goodness,  He wants the best for us and He will choose and do the best for us.   He will Exceed our expectations. He will put us in situations that will make us grow and become the people He knows we can be. The people He created us to be. Exactly where you are, is where you are supposed to be, unless you refuse His will…  As committed believers, God is supposed to take care of everything. Absolutely everything!!  For example, in marriage, in choosing who we'll get married to,  He decides it all. The who, the how, the where, and the when. And when He decides and picks for us, we will realize we got the best choice possible.  It's the devil that puts fear in us, which prevents us from letting God choose and so we start doing things that the world does, like shooting our shots because our biological clocks are ticking, or we fear not being attached to someone else or chosen. Here is the thing, we serve

The reason why we don't get answers is that we don't live in our prayers, we live outside of them. It was at work that I heard a colleague say that Nigerians are the most prayerful people in the world, yet the country hasn't changed and we are still suffering. This made me ponder… So I asked God whether it was because we were not praying according to His will but that was not it. It is because of how we live.  We live outside our prayers. The same way we behave and speak in prayer is the same way we should be when we aren’t praying.  You see,  Nigerians may be asking for God to make Nigeria great, but the minute they are done praying, and something bad happens in the country, they begin to curse the nation and the government and the people in it, forgetting what they prayed for. This leads to answers not coming and miracles canceled because of the negativity spoken daily.  In my blog about “ How to stop damaging your Life ”, I spoke about how we create what we speak, and we

Not every blessing starts with a miracle or comes in the wrap you expect, or works out the way you think it ought to.  Oftentimes, it comes as a test or trial!!! The whole point of the wait is for us to be refined and to prove the devil wrong. Yes, it's not easy but it's possible with the help of God. And when you don't understand, the best thing for you to do is to pray. Just pray! Perhaps prayer is a frustrating answer to give, but it's the best answer there is. What else are you to do? Complain? Be bitter? God hates murmuring, and when we murmur, we limit God’s power. The devil knows that, so he puts situations/ conversations our way that trigger us and leads us to the point of complaint & bitterness. All of a sudden we are at the edge! Oh, the edge! Where all reason is lost and hope seems nowhere to be found and holding on…. Just holding on, seems pointless, fruitless, painful, frustrating, lonely, and tiresome. All you want to do is to let go, cry, roll up in a

  I love you!  Not because I'm looking to be loved or I feel unloved. I love you... I love you. Not to be treated as a queen and doted upon. I love you not because I can't find love. I love you not  because you are willing. I love you because I once felt alone, despite the people that surrounded me. I love you because I once felt unloved despite the words of affirmation I received. I love you because of the love I began to experience and feel once I knew what it meant to love. I love you because love showed me, love. And in love, I learned to love It broke the walls that I had erected around me to protect myself and showed me another way to feel safe. Another kind of protection. I didn't know I could be protected in the warm embrace of love. I didn't know I would find strength in love. I didn't know that through love I would find myself. But I did and because of that, I love you. Because by accepting love, love personified, love from Christ, Agape love. I knew what

    "Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately, and that night they caught nothing.  But when the morning now came, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.  Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.   And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes." - John 21:3-6. Where we put our focus is very important! They were able to catch the multitude of fish because they trusted in the vision of Jesus though they couldn't see it for themselves.  God sees what we cannot see!!! The root of reassuring our focus is trust. It is trusting in God's vision and will for our lives and trusting in His voice, words, and promises. To reassure your focus is to remove doubt and fear from what you are beli

Are We a sad generation with happy pictures? Yes, we are! Why are we sad? Perhaps because we are viewing life the wrong way. Perhaps because we are focused on what could be and what never was, instead of what is. Perhaps because we haven't mastered the art of contentment. Perhaps because comparison is our prison. We choose to live both in the future and the past and ignore the present because it's too painful for us to fathom. We are an ungrateful generation. Things don't go our way and we think we are cursed, or God is mad at us. Do you ever wonder why you went through what you went through? You went through it for a reason. No experience is meaningless or wasted, even when it feels that way. We all have a purpose to fulfil.  That's why God chose to put us in our mothers’ bellies. That's why we survived our births. We are a sad generation because we haven't found the purpose God created us for.  Or rather we haven't asked Him yet, or we don't know how t

What's holding us back, if not fear? What keeps us from fulfilling our dreams, if not fear? What stops us from taking risks, if not fear? What prevents us from fighting for the love we deserve, if not fear? What stops us from showing our true authentic selves, if not fear? What stops us from holding onto our beliefs despite all odds, the judgements and critics, if not fear? What stops us from holding on to the confessions of our faith, despite the challenges and weapons formed, if not fear? What keeps us caged in our comfort zone, if not fear? What prevents us from gambling on ourselves, if not fear. What prevents us from taking that leap of faith into our next phase of lives, if not fear?  What keeps us from going into the unknown and unlocking the lost knowledge of the world, if not fear? What prevents us from blessing the world with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within us, if not fear? If not fear, then what's holding us back? Perhaps doubt, whic
