MUST READ: Infidelity in Marriage..

Mr Olabode Adelabu and Mrs. Omotara Adelabu are a wonderful couple. When they got married, things were not particularly rosy. But Mrs Omotara Adelabu prayed and heard God very well before marrying Olabode Adelabu. So staying through thick and thin was not difficult. Olabode Adelabu works as a sales man for one of the leading drink making companies in Nigeria and over the years, he rose to the post of a regional sales man. However, this promotion requires that he be transferred away from Lagos where his family is .                        But as tough as it may be, no Friday would pass without Olabode coming to Lagos to spend the weekend with is family.  Olabode, even as a regional sales man cannot be said to be a millionaire, but with the little he earns, He takes very good care of his family.                          The house keeping allowance he send to his wife, Omotara every month, is big enough to feed the family and also for Omotara to have some change to buy shoes and

Letter to My Daughter 4

  My Dear Daughter,   It’s over a year I last wrote you a letter. This would be my fourth published letter to you. You are growing so well. Your mum and I are so glad of your development. More importantly, the love of God in you is also growing as well. We lived in a world where girls do face a lot and lot of challenges no doubt, so your mum and I will do our very best to train you up in the right way you should go and when you grow old, you wouldn’t depart from it.   I want you to learn from our mistakes and avoid them. I want you surpass our achievements in life, go higher than the loft heights we have reached. They say experience is the best teachers but I say instructions is the best teacher. You don’t have to experience the mistakes we did just for you to learn a lesson. That is why I’m writing you a letter.   Life will never be hard for an obedient child. After honouring and obeying God, your parents are your next to be honoured and obeyed. Obedience to parents is r

Mental Health

  Metal health is simply all about our mental Well-being, most times we take good care of our body but we hardly care about our mental health. So many folks go through a lot of stress, abuse, oppression and it all affect the mental health. It will shock you that some folks are even even mentally unstable and you will hardly notice, yeah. So many folks are just one problem close to a mental breakdown. So the question is if our mental health is so important, what do we do about it? I ain’t gonna be spiritual about this because most of the time, religious people have turned this mental health of a thing to be spiritual, they are actually different thing. Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. People sometimes use the term “mental health” to mean the absence of a mental disorder. Mental health can affect daily living, relationships, and physical health. However, this link also works in the other direction

Learn From Your MISTAKES

  In life, there are some things we would always do (intentionally or not), one of them is Making Mistakes. In this life, we would make mistakes. But life doesn’t stop there, not at all, what do you do when you makes mistakes? Do you learn from it or you just keep making more? The past is our tutor, the present is the life exams, the future is the result of our life examinations. Some mistakes can be very costly and derailing which is why we need to learn our lessons. Recently I learnt a very hard lesson about some mistake I did and at first I was really down and could easily slip into depression but then I realized if I ever want to emerge a better man, I got to own up to my mistakes, learn from it and improved. You certainly can’t avoid mistakes but you can avoid making the same mistakes, you can avoid making costly mistakes, you can avoid certain mistakes certain people have made in the past. Learn from your Past and learn from People who have gone ahead of you. You don’t need to ov

Life is a Risk

  Take that Risk! It’s risky to take a risk but it’s more risky not to take a risk.  Life is all about risk. I mean nothing is certain which is what risk is. Nothing is guaranteed but you still ram actions inspite, that is RISK All decisions involve some degree of risk. To succeed in life, you have to take some risky steps. Truth is you don’t know everything and you can’t know everything but you got to act with the info you have. There are ways to minimize risk, it is to minimize risk, so there is till risk involved. Arm yourself with enough knowledge about what you are risking on. Don’t make decision based on your emotions. You don’t make money following your emotions.  Have a minimum loss to what you are risking on. Like the popular stop loss in forex trading. You must know when to stop. Don’t be greedy or outrightly foolish Be hopeful and stop looking back once you make that decision, stick to what you want to do. Try as much as possible to avoid indecision especially at the last mi

Water Your Seeds

  Last week, I wrote about Planting (Click Here to read the last post if you miss it). There are times when we plant and there are times to harvest. Now the period between the planting and harvest is when we have to water what we have planted. So yes, there is a time to water. After planting your seed, you got to water that seed. Watering the seed entails doing what will makes the seed to germinate well and give you a bountiful harvest. When we plant our seed, we don’t just leave it at that and goes about waiting for harvest. One of the ways to water your seed is by Speaking the Right Words.   Speak the right words to your s eed. What you speak over your seed is what will happen . If you keep telling yourself that you can’t pass that examination, I bet you might fail it. If you keep telling yourself you can’t start that project, you might not. If you keep tearing yourself down with words, you will might eventually go down. Speak the right words to your seed, even when against
