    December 2018 , a period I wouldn't want to share even with my enemy, or talk about, but I pen this here for someone to learn and get blessed, so read down. It was a  "Season of pruning" for me - I was cut off from few things and people, I was stretched, broken, depressed and wounded .           My birth anniversary,5th on that precise year and month , was one I didn't anticipate so much. My plans for that day were shattered, I felt handicapped and pained at that moment, knowing I couldn't do anything, like I had done the last year, visit the orphanage home, spend precious time with them and receive that kind hearted prayers of those beautiful kids. So funny I spent that day in the lecture hall, learning , and scrolling down my Facebook timeline and WhatsApp, grin as I gazed at the  tears dropping birthday write-ups of well wishers and amazing friends, as their birthday calls came in with the 'Birthday' rhythm . Thank...

   Written by W.N V incent       Have you ever watched the video of a love song? I mean a clean video with really great lyric? What were your thoughts? The other day I was going through the WhatsApp statuses of people on my contact list. Just then, I came across a video on the status of Mr. Luis. It was a love song sung by a white guy. I used ‘White’ because I don’t know the singer or where he comes from. I only know his skin color and accent put him in that category. I hope I’m not being racist. I can’t remember the lyrics of the song, but what I can’t forget is how his every action showed that he loved and cared for the lady he was singing to. It was so lovely that I slipped into Mr. Luis’ DM (direct message) and said to him, “These people sure know how to be romantic. When you watch them express love, you just love it and you just want to get into a relationship quickly”. He said it was because they used the simple things around to express love...

Written by W.N Vincent Over the years, and despite the diverse challenges, the Nigerian culture has managed to survive via some sort of telepathic connection, if I must say. We may talk about ourselves within the country, but the moment an ‘outsider’ talks about us, everyone will ‘attack’ that outsider. Whether we have got our backs bumper-to-bumper in such cases or we just like savage replies, I do not know, but it seems to be working for us. You may have lived in Kaduna, Enugu, Ibadan, or Bayelsa, but growing up, there were some things we all did the same despite the geographical, ethnic, cultural and language barriers. Let’s roll back the years, shall we? We all played games like, ‘War start’, ‘Canter ball’, ‘Boju-Boju’, ‘Rope-skipping’, ‘Police and Thief’, ‘Tinko-Tinko’, ‘Ten-Ten’, ‘Ayo’, ‘Suwe’, ‘Who will you marry?’, ‘Street/Compound soccer’, just to mention but a few, for both the male and the female child. Even if your parents moved from Warri to Akwa Ibom, you could...

  The Road To Success You apparently don't have  all you need to achieve your dreams and goals now.😩 Just be consistent in what you do, even when help seem a thousand mile away.😴 Strategically plan and work with the available resources (physical and mental).  You're permitted to cry, when you can't hold it, but pls don't  give up or say something negative to yourself. 😢 Loved ones could become strangers at the process, people will give up on you, but get this......they shouldn't be your problem, they're only playing a dormant role . 😦 In your scale of preference, you will make so much sacrifice and opportunity cost ,while inventing in yourself and the future. 😃 Don't feel you're a failure or behind , when you see others succeeding. Your angle of elevation is not as same with theirs, keep climbing, there's a very top. 😅 Don't feel God is being hard on you or probably, forgotten you , You're jus...

   I've always wanted to make this post, but I keep on postponing it, but the urge to say this keeps coming, and I believe the holysprit wants to speak to someone now and in the future............ Read on and share 😊 I grew up learning One major thing in life, from my parents and that was 'The Family altar'. I've meet quite some numbers of children, who don't know what it means to have a morning devotion at home. When asked if they prayed that morning, they stare at my face as if I spoke in parables.     We had a center table in my house,while growing up,  where my parents would gather the six of us ( I and my siblings ) to knee down every morning for devotion,Dad would always tell us, "God loves children and hearkens to their voice very fast, so pray very well". We worshiped God and prayed on that table each morning till we all grew up even till date. My Dad later called that center table 'The family altar '. It became a part of us as the ...

LIFE's MISSION          We are sojourners here on earth, our days of journey are numbered, we'll definitely pass on from here some day, but have we considered asking ourselves this simple questions  ? : What am I doing presently?  What and who brought me here?  Why was I brought on earth (My life mission) ? How far have I walked to accomplish my life  mission? These actually are profound questions walking towards ' Creation purpose and mandate ' .        A man who knows his mission in earth, will pursue it everything he's got, without giving a chance to distraction,  A little distraction can take you off focus and off-balance . Many today are busy accomplishing another man's mission, being ignorant (no clue or direction)  or abandoning theirs, thus having no satisfaction in life.        Jesus said in John 9:15 "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world ". Hé...

            Few days back,  I had received a phone call from a colleague of mine, while in the midst of the conversation, in anger she threw some unexpected words at me, which almost traumatized me all through the day. Each minute I try to get over those words, they kept coming, as if I could hear them audibly. I was disappointed  at myself, everyone who came around where concerned to know why the sad countenance, but I couldn't explain, because I knew my flaws got me those words.      I arrived home that night,depressed, I sat down, then thought about what had happened, I wanted to erase it off my mind and countenance, though was difficult. Finally,i asked the holysprit to help me, immediately he ministered this to me "Your flaws got you those words that made you depressed today, humans are bound to flaw ,but don't settle with it, accept it's your flaw when people throw it at you or say it to your face, never l...

Being purposeful is what set a man at the peak of his game . Haven known your intent, of what and why you're doing what you do, helps you to be conscious of timing and not shooting aimlessly. A number of times, when people are asked, why they do what they do?  Was it the perfect time for it? Why in that relationship? Why do they find themselves around certain people? Why do they take the direction they're currently moving on? You find them stutter or give you funny reasons.  There are three things you should have in mind before venturing into any relationship, business or taking any step, they are: 1)Your Objective (2) The timing (3)The result  Your_Objective: A man who has no destination will walk aimlessly and fall into an ambush.  Before taking up that decision or making someone a part of your life story, as a friend , business or life partner, your intent first is what matters, then your aim,if it's determined as a result of Self-pity,guilt, fea...

   Different people smile for different reasons, Often times we always give that warm smile when we want to take beautiful photos, met friends or people for the first time, to make them feel welcomed. On most cases we smile to defend the content of our heart,deep down in us, we are probably not happy as the percentage of smile expressed.     Humans are insatiable, our wants are variable,and this could determine our state of happiness.The heart is the central point of a man's life,the moment it stops beating, the man dies. Unhappiness has clouded our heart, because of some Unacheivements, past mistakes, present state, and hurts from people, making it difficult for the heart to function effectively,that's the devil's strategy to cut short man's life span. We could come out of this by being contended with what we have and achieved, this doesn't mean settling for less,but striving for more with contentment, the word of God says in 1 Timothy 6:6 "Godliness with...

  Mum was just speechless when we got the report from the doctor, I could see the agony of a bitter woman who birth, breast feed and nursed her baby, never realizing one day, that baby would be the reason for her shame and pains. I couldn't even take a stare at her face,talk more of ,to say a word, I felt as if the world was crumbling on me,how I wish the ground  would open and swallow me. Few days back I had celebrated my eighteenth birth anniversary and Dad was just ordained a deacon in church.All this celebration happened in same week,but the whole joy of the family was smashed after the incident at the hospital.   "Imagine the disgrace , imagine the shame, at eighteen!!! ,I have always told you to put an eye on this girl, but you wouldn't, now you see!!, I'm not with both of you in this mess, you two will have to face it alone, I'm out!! ",that was what dad kept saying,shouting and blaming mum as we left the hospital premises,while he got into his car,...

                                    HE-(heart and emotion) Dear Lady!! =>Guard your heart -  Your heart is meant to breed LOVE and not anguish, bitterness and hatred.No one is permitted to play around with it, don't give it to those who won't cherish it, neither those who don't know it's value . Don't be too soft to withdraw it from those who aren't worth it. Don't let everyone in, choose who you wish to come in, choose also who you want to stay. =>Guard your emotions -  Be sensitive to know when you're emotionally vulnerable or defenseless and deal with it immediately, so no one takes advantage of it.Know when to move away from certain environments or people when you're emotionally weak. Staying back doesn't prove you to be brave, but walking out does,that's a wise move. Learn to say 'NO' when necessary, if it's that difficult to, then stare into those eyes and with all...

      It was just one week left to tie the knot, I couldn't wait to bear the name 'Mrs Fred',that I've always dreamt of, I watch the clock tick each hour, I sight the sky get brighter and darkened each day.The new neighbour Mr and Mrs Edom were actually new couple,I could perceive the love in the air, I would giggle each time I hear them laugh out so loud and play like kids when in the compound.I walked straight into the sitting room opened the drawer and reached out for the photo album,I took a glimpse at every photo, from my childhood to my convocational photo, they all brought beautiful memories to me raising my cheeks so high , I stumped on uncle Wale's wedding pictures,I felt so pained, he has been married for three years without a child,who knows how they've felt all these years, I could hear the new neighbour scream from their flat,and that made me laugh so hard, does love make people this mad??.    I and fred went on a date that Friday eveni...

   I made a promise,to keep it, to preserve it, to protect it, and to guide it jealously,as a precious gift to him. I carried myself as an egg so carefully.It was my pride, my dignity, I wouldn't want to loose it for any damn reason no matter what, sure times came when I became so scared not because I was gonna loose it,but  loose it to the wrong person.I was a shy type,and that I think was an advantage.    In class 9,we got a new classmate,while he moved to his seat, you could imagine all eyes on him, I guess the female students were more excited than the male,having a new mate among us, he was fair to look on, tall, handsome, curly hair and seems to be very smart and very intelligent, maybe he could be the Mr.  Right ,since he possesses all the features of my dream man*smiles*.When I tried to be myself,i notice I wasn't just me again, couldn't concentrate in class anymore, what?!!!! Can't believe he has been on my mind every seconds,unfortunatel...

   I always hear people talk about him, from my parents and outside home too,hmmm he seems to be the nice guy since every one talks about him, I wondered, was he a kind of unique being, special from the rest ?.As I a child then I managed to know him, yea I got acquitted with him, I never knew him that much but every moment with him was so sweet, but funny enough because I never knew where he lived, so we only met only on Sundays in church. Growing up with him as a child was fun and  awesome,he was my closet pal, my companion, my best friend but so funny I never realized that, so strange!!! ,he taught me so many things, showed me wonderful  things and places.     While I turned a teen,i could feel a coldness in our relationship,was who's fault? I or him? it broke my heart, so i sought for a closer and better relationship, I needed someone to fill that space, I needed someone to love me, I needed someone to look into my eyes and wipe those tears runn...
