We have to do this Ourselves

By -
Image
I really wish I could say this out rather than have it written out. So help me read it out. Do It Yourself! I'm going to tell you something. Some years back, things were so difficult for my parents and us. It was the most difficult part of our lives. Then my dad lost entirely all his businesses. It was hard on him. Everything was gone. My mum had a clothing business she was doing. Everything was on her. Every responsibility was on her. She had entirely no choice but to carry this two-in-one cross herself. It came to a point where she had to take her lifeline. We were going to join in the struggle. I was ten while my younger brother was eight. She would give us part of the clothe to go through many streets to sell. Sometimes it took us hours to sell one of the clothes. It didn't matter who sold me or my brother but we were happy anytime we exchanged clothe for money. I was the boss. Sometimes it looked like we've walked so long and didn't sell a thing maybe due to the ...

Only remembered when Your help is required?

By -
Image
Ade (not real name) used to be very upset that people only remembered him whenever they needed help with something within his power. One day, I told him a story and I want to tell it to you, too. It is the story of David. David was that shepherd boy that nobody remembered; including his own father. At a very crucial time when a king needed to be chosen from his family and the kingmaker, Prophet Samuel, asked for Jesse’s sons to be brought before him, it took the Prophet asking if there was no one missing, before Jesse remembered there was still one left (1 Samuel 16:11). David was often forgotten like that. He was only remembered at that instance and at another instance when his brothers were at the battlefield and he was needed to go give them food. Nobody remembered him except when they needed him. However, that same David was the one ‘everyone’ later left the city to go be with inside a cave, after he had slained the national enemy and become a national hero (1 Samuel 22:1). Tha...

Use Your Power of Choice, and use it Maximally

By -
Image
When the dark clouds of doubt, anger or worry begin to move upon you, steady yourself in the knowledge that in time, the storm will pass. Emotions are transient and temporary. But, the more one has engaged in a particular pattern of thought, the more difficult it becomes to override these habitual patterns. This is why it is very important for You to immediately begin using your power of choice, to feed the good wolf, or the higher mind. Habit can be your worst enemy, or your best friend. Over time, one can habituate their mind to higher vibrational thought patterns. The mind can be habituated to feelings of compassion, gentleness, empathy, and even calmness and confidence in the face of uncertainty and tribulation. Your future begins with your next thought. Even now as you read this, the power is completely yours. The next second belongs to you, and no one can control how you choose to think at any time. No one can make you feel any certain way. Only you choose how you feel or how yo...

Vulnerability

By -
Image
To be vulnerable is to be exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed either physically or emotionally. One way or another, we all have felt that way and while we are in that state, we are in desperate need of a saviour. But do we really know who to run to, where to go and how to ask for help? Different thoughts comes to mind. We humans, to an extent do not want to be perceived as weak. But if You don't show that weakness, how will you get in contact with the person that has answers to what you need?. If you don't ask the right questions how will you get the right answers? Showing weakness does not mean you are weak or silly literally. It simply means that you have got strength to rise above mediocrity. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you are in need, because that is only when salvation comes. Even the Bible says "Ask and it shall be given". It also says "confession brings possession". How will God bless your steps if you ar...

You have to be Important to Yourself

About two months ago, a lady walked into the office and demanded for my time. We sat and exchanged pleasantries. I can’t forget it easily, her voice texture happened to be one of the finest I've had conversations with that time, well filtered. I complimented, but her response did not commensurate my altruistic praise. At least, I deserved “thank you Sir” Or, remove the sir “Bros, thank you”. I was worried why a grown lady like her did not understand etiquette. She asked, are you Christopher Peter? I said Yes. She continued.. “I was listening to you yesterday morning on radio (Love Fm) when you were talking on parenting, and something told me to come talk with you”. She started her chronicles; suddenly, her voice went dim and finally mute, her skin turned reddish, eyes swollen, body shaken, it wasn’t strange to me, so I encouraged her to take a deep breath and rest for a while. When she sum up courage and forced the words out, they splashed with tears and cry. The few words I coul...

Happiness is You

By -

So there are a lot of myths, facts, and opinions out there about happiness. My intention, however, is not to support or discredit any one of them you may have come in contact with before. While it is true that happiness is relative, it is also true that personal happiness is what you make of life. Many people in the world today have different goals and ambitions. There is something which is nonetheless common to almost all of us and that is personal happiness. I have learnt that it is impossible to control the happenings around us but what we can control is our disposition towards these happenings. The major mistake a person can commit is to expect that life will always go as planned or as expected. For instance, you may have planned to wake up at 6 am today but somehow you didn't and woke up at 8 am instead. That was not what you wanted or had planned but that was what happened nonetheless. This is a simple analogy of how the plans of human beings are thwarted by unforeseen cir...
