On a quest for a better future


A lot of people long for a life where everything looks good. As a result of this, they strive daily to do their best so that they can have the kind of life that they want. Some people even bend their necks to yoke & take risks all because of a better future.
The question is; why are we on this quest? Why do we work daily & take risks because of a better future? The reason is not far fetch. There is this story of a man- Robert Kiyosaki who came from a poor background & went to his friend’s dad to teach him & his friend how to make money. He wanted a better future because he saw the possibility & he went on that quest as a teenager. He eventually became one of the successful real estate businessmen in the United States. Like this man, some people have won in their own quest while some are still on it but some have failed on the quest. 
The reason why we are all on the quest for a better future is that something in us tells us that there is a possibility of becoming all that we want to become in life. The process may be difficult, the road may be rough but there is a possibility. This informs our decision as we set out in life to become successful. President Obama saw the possibility of becoming the first African-American U.S president; he went on that quest & he won. Ben Carson saw the possibility of becoming a doctor & an influencer to his generation; he went on that quest & he won. Apostle Fred Price saw the divine choice on his life & the possibility of being a renowned preacher of the gospel, he went on that quest & he is still winning. However Adolf Hitler saw the possibility of becoming the unconquerable, he went on that bad quest & he lost.
My fellow visionaire, what kind of quest are you on? Is it to become successful farmer, teacher, businessman, preacher, doctor or is it to become a successful hacker, fraudster, swindler, etc? Whatever the quest you are on now will determine the future you are aiming for yourself. Choose to go on the right quest & let your potentials be channel in that direction & you will surely have a good

An illustration of the Visionaire's journey



You want to travel from your house to another town for the first time in your car. The first thing to ask yourself is if you know the way to that town. If you don’t, then you look for a map or go with someone that has gone to that town before. Another thing you must consider is the present state of the car. If for example, the car is not in a good condition, there is a very high tendency that you get stranded on the journey if the car should break down.
The illustration above is symbolic & I want to explain one by one
1. The town you are traveling to for the first time explains the destination/future you are heading to which you have never been before. You arrive in your future once & that is it.
2.   Since you don’t know the road to the town, you use your map or go with someone that has been to that town before. It is always preferable you go with someone that knows the way because you can still miss your way on the map. The presence of that person makes your journey faster & you can easily avoid wrong route. This explains the fact that you need to allow God to go with you on your journey. He knows the future because he made the future. So he knows the way more than anyone else. If you truly want to become all that you need to be, then you need God to go with you & show you the way.
3.      The condition of the car you want to travel in explains the condition of your heart & your physical body. Your heart consists of your will, your thought & your emotion. The condition of your heart determines what you will become because it is out of your heart that issues of your life come from.  If you have a cleansed, good & strong heart, you can be sure that you will get to your future safely. Having this kind of heart require that you have a living relationship with God through his son Jesus after which

Can life ever be fair to everyone?



I remembered when I needed to obtain the statement of result from my formal school. As usual, I wrote a letter of request to the appropriate authority only to get to the Exams & Records Office to hear that I cannot have all the results I requested for because; some of my results are yet to be approved by the university senate. All I could get was my pre-med result after spending about five years in the university. This means I will have to start from the beginning in the new university I’m applying into. This is one of the many experiences I’ve had in life. I know that you also must have had some unfair experiences as well.
So many times we have had to face situations that tend to slow us down or even try to prevent us from achieving our dreams. Not only do we feel bad about them, we also hate them. Many times the people we love don’t love us back while it is those that we never taught of that eventually care for us. Of all the things I have learnt about life, I am yet to fathom why life is not always fair to us all. I guess that’s just the way life is.

In a future not far from now



In a future not far from now
Lies the treasures preordained for me
Although the number of days are much
Yet I know that my future is not far anymore

2011 was once a year I longed to see
But it’s now a year I have experienced
And of course many things were in the year for me
All thanks to God that made the year a memorable one

A new year is here
A year full of bountiful things I haven’t seen
The next few minutes may be a future I haven’t seen
But I know that the future is not far anyone

The next twelve months is part of my future
It may look longer than I thought
But, I do know that the last day of the year is not far
And I press on into this New Year to receive my own thing from the lord

Of a truth, 2011 is gone forever and what we are left with are the memories of the year. 2012 is here and it indeed a year with new things springing forth. The next 365days of this year may look as if it’s long but, they aren’t. The daily load of benefits for each day is of different measures. Do not think of this year as if it is long. 2011 was once like that but now it’s gone.
So press on into this New Year with a great expectation. It won’t be long before you discover that 2012 is about to end. Life your life in 2012 & be fulfilled in this New Year.

Merry Christmas



God is indeed a visionaire. He saw the future of mankind when Adam & Eve sinned. He saw hardship, turmoil, pain, sickness, destruction and eternal doom. However this was not in his intention for us at all.
In order to change that negative future, He came up with a redemption plan to reconcile mankind back to Him so that we can live the kind of life He preordained for us. He sent is only begotten son to exemplify the ideal experience we all should have, died for our sins and reconcile us to God. Indeed, Christ came to change the future of mankind for the better.
As we celebrate the birth of our lord Jesus Christ today, let us not forget to give thanks to God for sending His son so that we all can have a glorious and a splendid future.
Through Christ, we know that our future is secured. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.
Peace!!!

The visionaire's journey of hope (2)


In a world filled with people of intelligence
In a world dominated by creatures of the first order
In a world where everyone is born to rule
I also press forward to take my rightful place
            
My mind is filled with hope
Yet my experiences are sometimes the opposite
Nevertheless, I refuse to let my hope be shattered
As I continuously cling to my maker to take me there

A little of doubt here, a little of fear there
None seem to derail me anymore
For I have a stronghold
That resist anything the attack my hope

Faithful is HE that has promised
What he has said he’ll do
My hope is in God
Who is always there with me to take me to my destination

Let not your hope be in man for man can fail you. Man in his natural self is always mindful of himself alone and won’t dear to help anyone. But there is a God that can always move men to work in your favor. Your future was designed by your maker and only Him can come through for you. He is the same now as then and he never changes. As long as your hope is in God, you don’t have to worry because He’s always working out something for you. You may not know how or when.  Just be hopeful and you will see the physical manifestation of His wondrous works.
The visionaire’s journey still continues…..
Peace!!!

The P(s) of a visionaire



Today, I shall be looking at the life of a man who was also a visionaire during his time. He was indeed a visionaire that saw, believed and worked towards his future. The name of the man is Joseph- the first prime minister of Egypt.
Joseph saw a vision of himself becoming a leader and all of his brothers were bowing to him.
With that, he had a foreknowledge of what he is to become. But, it took him thirteen years before that vision could manifest. During the thirteen years of waiting, he went through certain stages that qualified him for his preordained future. I call these stages the four Ps because they all start with letter P.
1.   Parent’s house:  He grew up in his parent’s house where he learnt honesty and transparency
2.   Potiphar’s house: he was here as a slave boy but rose to become the chief servant while he was still a slave. It was there that he learnt how to be an administrator.
3.   Prison: he proceeded to the prison where he learnt how to provide leadership for people and also perfected his gift of interpreting dreams.
4.   Palace: he ended up in the palace where his vision began to speak and his brethren indeed bowed to him.
You don’t have to repeat the story of Joseph in your own day but, you can apply the principles gotten from his story and apply them into your life. Joseph wasn’t transported into his future alone, he believed in it & was prepared for it. You also will do yourself a lot of good if you live in the present preparing for your future. Like joseph, your present experience may be unpleasant and discouraging. But, don’t give up! Lay hold on the vision, believe in it & in God that has given you a glimpse of your future and the strength to keep preparing will be generated inside you. Remember, your vision will stop manifesting the moment you stop believing and preparing. If Joseph could go through those awful experiences & still became the prime minister, how much more you? The same God that was with Joseph till the end still exists. Let not your life fall short of your future by not believing and preparing. The heart of a visionaire is inside you. So live your life as one!
Peace!!!
