COMFORT ZONE

-
For some time now, I have been pondering on this article, fortunately for me, it was preached in church on Sunday, so I feel this is the right time to let it out.
            COMFORT is defined as the state of being physically relaxed and free from pain; the state of having a pleasant life with everything you need.
            COMFORT ZONE is defined as a place or situation in which you feel safe or comfortable especially when you choose to stay in this situation instead of trying to work harder or achieve more.
            A lot of people feel too relaxed after attaining some level of success in life... Comfort is good, relaxation is lovely but getting too carried away by this can be very dangerous.
            I understand that many have not gotten to their comfort zone yet, so they continue to toil day and night to ensure that they get to the point of comfort while there are some who have gotten to their comfort zone but are not ready to leave there to become better.  

            What is your definition of a comfort zone? Some people think when they own a duplex; they have attained their comfort zone. Some think when they get married or give birth to children, others think when they get a good job.
            But I say to you that every comfort zone requires an improvement. Whatever your comfort zone is or whatever it looks like, just ensure you improve the zone and make your life better. Looking around today, I see that many get too comfortable with certain levels in their life. It’s not a bad idea to feel comfortable after going through a lot of pain. But improve and work harder in your comfort zone.

            Rev Tunde Afe (Founder of House of Faith Christian Centre, Ado-Ekiti) also said that “you cannot release your potentials in your comfort zone, releasing of potentials takes a lot of work, people who are in the comfort zone are short term thinkers”. Our comfort zone doesn't stop us from being a better person. You can improve, you can be better, work hard, and release your potentials. Break out from your Comfort Zone and create avenues to release your potentials….Cheers

THE BROKEN CALABASH

I want to take a journey back into the ancient times, the times of our fore fathers. When there was no technology or any form of advancement in the world, when things were done according to our culture and tradition.              My mum explained to me how marriage rites were carried out. How a woman is meant to keep herself and remain a virgin before marriage. She also explained to me how the groom’s family pays a woman’s dowry/bride price and takes items to the bride’s parent. Am sure some of you know this history.              After the marriage ceremony, the man always return back to his people and the brides people to tell them if his wife is a virgin or not. if the wife is a virgin, after the first intercourse on the wedding night, he uses a white piece of cloth to clean the blood that comes from the woman’s sexual organ. He then takes the piece of cloth to his family and the bride’s parent telling them he ...

A FULL HOUSEWIFE, A HELPMEET OR BOTH?

Feminist have come up with theories expressing the need for gender equality between a man and a woman. Although most of these theories have been countered several times, we can’t still rule out the fact that the position of a woman in the family, society and nation is a great one. Permit me to say women are the salt of the world. They make life sweeter when they are added in the right proportion and when treated otherwise you can imagine what the result will be. Without their presence everything becomes sour. The position of a woman in a home cannot be overemphasized, they run and manage the affairs of the home which include taking care of the husband, children, cooking meals, attending to guests and extended family members, buying items needed for everyday life and the list is endless. Although some husbands try as much as they can to help out in doing some of these things while some totally feel it’s the duty of a wife and they never help out. The attitudes of some of thes...

THE HUMAN NATURE

I was in church, then suddenly after a short message was preached, a pastor gave me a scripture   (Galatians 5:19) and immediately after I received it, rapture took place and I woke up immediately. I wasn’t very shocked because it wasn’t the first time I would dream about rapture but I asked what about this scripture.         This scripture inspired me to write this: Galatians 5:19(GNT)”what human nature does is quite plain, it shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions”. Human nature: the ways of behaving, thinking and feeling  that are shared by most people and are considered to be normal. After much thinking and pondering about this scripture and the definition of the Human nature, I realize that majority of the things considered as normal by people are actually very abnormal. This scripture explains that what human nature does is quite plain, very obvious for all to see, it manifest or show itself in immoral, filthy and indecent acti...
