Odyssey of life with Temilola

A king is a person that is thought to be the best or most important of a particular type; an important personality. Standing before kings is not just finding you in the presence or in front of an important person. To me standing kings is being useful to kings; being relevant to the level at which kings cannot do without you.             A king can be likened to a ruler , a minister, a commissioner, Governor, presidents, Honourable and very notable people. To stand before kings, there are criteria; there are things to be considered. The Holy Bible says in the book of Proverbs that have you seen a man skilled in his work, he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before ordinary men. A skilled man is a person that has enough ability, experience and knowledge to be able to do something well. Before a person can be skilled, he/she must be hardworking and diligent in his/her work. Truthfulness, sincerity, obedience and humil...

Temptation is defined as the desire to do or have something that you know is bad or wrong.             We all have been tempted in one way or the other, when we have a strong desire to do something that we know is wrong, we should realize at that point that we are being tempted.             Temptation can come in  form of money, cars, clothes, material items, sexual desires or urge/longing for things that are not right. Many of our youths today tend to walk into temptations, they intentionally do things that are wrong and make it seem right. This has gone a long way in affecting the lives of many youths today.              Recall the story of Joseph in Genesis 39: 6b-9: now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph and she said “Lie with me...

When I was in Primary School, years ago, I learnt a poem about a goat. My teacher said a goat is a domestic animal that goes through lots of severe punishment because of its acts of disobedience. The poem advised children not to behave like a goat, the disobedient animal.             Well I think this poem is written after a long study and research of this animal “goat”. If we rear goats or we have some goats in our vicinity, we will see how stubborn a goat is. Many times you chase a goat from going to a particular place but it won’t take to correction. What is our attitude to correction?  How do we respond when we are being corrected? I feel bad when I see people who refuse to admit that they wrong.             Majority of people do not understand that the reason why they are being corrected is for their life to better than it is. Looking at the life of young people today, many youths do no...

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 t...

Christmas a day we celebrate and remember the Birth of our Lord JESUS CHRIST. This day marked the beginning of the Journey of Jesus Christ on Earth. All over the world, Christians come together and celebrate this day as a sign of remembrance and respect.             A season of love, a season  of giving, a season when food and gifts items are shared and exchanged, a season of visitation, a season of celebration.             But to  many, this day is only meant for eating and drinking, a day of visiting old friends and loved ones. As soon as the day is over, they forget everything about this day. The next thing is that they look forward to the next Christmas…      But I say to you, this  season is a SEASON to REASON…like many will say Jesus is the reason for the season… a season to sit and improve more on yourself, a season to sit and draw out your plan for the coming...

“We  didn't  do it but we ALMOST had it…thank God”... This and many more are words that you hear from young people of today... well I know this article can be odd to some of my readers but its reality..              Almost is a term  used for something that nearly occurred…the ALMOST am talking about in this post is the one that occurs between a male and a female… many youth who claim to be virgin have gone through the process of ALMOST, they have engaged in one sexual activity or another…sexual activities such as oral sex and many more, the only thing that qualifies them as a virgin is their hymen that has not been broken (ladies) and the fact that they haven’t had sexual intercourse (guys).. But they have done ALMOST…              Some Christians who are into relationship too due to church doctrines and morals taught in church abstain from having sexual intercourse but they have tried ALMOST...
