What If…..

What if i was a siamese twin?
My mother would probably ask God “Why”
What if i died at birth?
That will make my family cry
What if i was born a girl
Guess i’ll understand my sister’s feelings
What if I was a street kid
I would learn to appreciate the comfort of the home
What if i never went to school?
Maybe i wouldn’t have dreams for the future.
What if i was a Criminal
I’d probably bring shame to my family
What if i was a handicap
I’d probably end up a beggar in the streets
What if i never knew God
Maybe i’d die a sinner
What if i never had siblings
I’d be called “an only child”
What if I was sick in bed
Maybe I’d kiss the world goodbye
What if I couldn’t say “Good Night”
Maybe I’m suffering from Insomnia
What if i can’t wake up in the morning
Maybe i had a cold heart
What if I can’t say “Thank you Lord”
Maybe I’m an ungrateful servant
What if the Lord comes to take his children home
Maybe I’ll make it heaven

 

Got back safely

Just got back from a journey this evening, it was a hitch free ride. I’m glad i got back home safely.
I’m dead tired and i need a lot of rest.
I hope to open my eyes with the crowing of the cock, the breaking of the dawn. With a big THANK YOU LORD for being alive in a brand new day.

My word for today is “No matter what you do, make sure you’re moving”.

 

Solace in Solitude

.

Imagine the peace you get when you’re alone.
Not just being alone but in a quiet and peaceful environ.
I’ve felt the need to be alone, to look at the stars of the sky, the beautiful white clouds, feel the soothing effect of the free air. Appreciate nature.
Being alone is not being lonely, but it is isolation with a purpose. Some people just need to be in company of themselves, for better understanding of themselves. Positive Inspiration is mostly felt when one is in solitude.

Try to go to river banks or somewhere peaceful where you can have time to think and wonder. It keeps your mind at rest and makes your brain function optimally.
A place where you wouldn’t have to think about the problems and sorrows of this life, where we experience extreme peace and comfort in a world of strife, where we understand ourselves better. Some of the best poems i ever wrote were written in my lonely hour, devoid of noise or distraction where i could really feel what i was writing about, where my mind’s eye could see a clear picture which is interpreted by the brain and expressed through the beauty of language.

In peace we would function better, although i love music very much. I love to turn the volume to the maximum and let it flow in me, but my hour of solitude lets life to flow steadily.

Let’s try to get some peaceful time alone in the company of ourselves and behold the beauty of nature.
To experience Solace in Solitude

 

The Good side of the Bad

Now there is a very big difference between the two (2) words “Good” and “Bad”.
Good is defined as morally excellent, virtuous, satisfactory in Quality.  While Bad is “not good in any manner or degree, poor or inferior in quality”.
We would conclude from the definitions that we would prefer the former to the Latter. As the former brings benefits and it is believed that the latter is extremely detrimental. This means that Good is good and Bad is bad.

What if someone tells you that there is an element of good in bad and vice versa.

Bad is seen as sufferings, misfortunes and every other ugly thing we wouldn’t wanna hear but sometimes we experience these sufferings for purposes which will eventually benefit us.

Gold has to be purified by fire, although it may not be a pleasant experience but it will never be pure and be appreciated if it is not purified.
we should come to a point in our lives where we will see a good after every bad that happens to us.
We should be able to see beyond the visible, not minding our present situation but believing that tomorrow brings a brighter day, a reason to smile and a course to say “Thank you Lord”.

Let’s take the example of the Onions, i personally used to hate slicing onions coz they make me cry but was ignorant of the fact that while the tears were rolling down, my eyes got clearer. My teacher told me that Onions clears the eyes. Although it hurt my eyes, it also helped make the eyes see clearly.

2nd example is about a careless mistake I once made which would have brought about destruction.
I was ironing my Clothes when the ultimate “NEPA” struck, i forgot to unplug the Iron and left the house.
Power was meant to be restored that night, i was waiting impatiently for the light but it never came. I was so angry because i missed a show i was supposed to watch.
Although i was bitterly angry but it was for my good, coz if the light had been restored, then i would have been responsible for an Inferno.
And that was the miracle of the Century.
Although i experienced some amount of sadness, it brought about celebration and appreciation for God’s protection.

I don’t know the misfortune you’re going through but i believe you will smile at the end of it. Instead of whining, think of what God is trying to prevent from happening.
You might just miss the blessing if you complain.
God will never allow you suffer because he cares for you.

Always see the good side of the bad.

 

Inspiration in what Direction

The dictionary defines Inspiration as an animating action or influence felt or being filled or affected with a special feeling.
Direction is the line along which anything lies, faces, moves.

Inspiration is like an electrical feeling felt when a particular thing happens to you, which controls your action and thoughts at that time.
It’s the sudden energy that seems to come from somewhere.

We can conclude from the definition that there is a source of inspiration and people are inspired to do things.
What is your source of inspiration?
People get inspiration from different sources.
Some people get inspired by smoking, some get inspired by listening to music, others get inspired by reading. etc. 
Is there a wrong source of inspiration?
I believe we’ve felt inspired sometime in our life.

When on a path, it either leads you to your destination or leads you away from it.
We could be positively or Negatively inspired.
A man once said whenever he wanted to be heartless, all he had to do was smoke and he could execute any mission.
The cigarette became a charging force for him, and that is what you feel when inspired. You are charged to carry out any task ahead of you.
What is that charging force in your life?
Is it your friends that keep telling you that you have to pay back?
What is the driving force behind your actions?
Is it the sermon you heard in church?
A man’s inspiration determines his actions
If we do not get positvely inspired, we cannot go the right way.
It’s the picture of a man that is moving far away from his destination

What is your purpose in life?
What do you believe you were born to achieve?
Are you getting inspired positively to fulfill your dreams?

The best application of inspiration is on our purpose in life, when we are inspired to achieve our ultimate goal.
A philosopher once said “Inspiration brings about Motivation”
Motivation is the ”stimulation toward action or giving an incentive for action”, this means that inspiration brings about action. The nature of this action can only be determined by the source of the inspiration.
Positive inspiration brings about Positive Action.
Negative inspiration brings guilt, shame and remorse over an action which should never have been taken.

So whatz the source and direction of your inspiration?
