BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE
BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE Last week, I was discussing with a client of mine about the importance of having a genuine support system. Incidentally, this week, that same conversation continued with a sister of mine. And I knew then, that I had to talk about it. I remembered how when she had lost her husband at a

THE BLESSING OF FRIENDSHIP Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are… You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with… Show me your friends and I will show you your future… From old sayings, to Jim Rohn and Dan Pena, the message is the same, our relationships matter because they

TRUST GOD TO MAKE IT GOOD Precisely on the 26th day of June, 2023, I had an overwhelming urge to be grateful to God. I heard Him telling me that He loves me very much. He also told me that He is a giver. He always gives and He never stops giving. I found this very encouraging and reassuring especially

THE BEST IS YET TO COME In my native Yoruba language, there is a prayer that goes like this “Je ki ale san mi ju owuro lo.” This loosely translates: “let my night time be better than my morning”. That as we advance in age we will be better off and not worse off. It is everybody’s silent wish that

The fares were not metered. You were at the mercy of the driver. If he liked your face you could negotiate a good

THE THINGS THAT TRULY MATTER The things that truly matter are not material things. I once heard someone say that when we land in heaven we are not likely to be having regrets about not buying the latest model of a car or the parcel of choice land that we never acquired. There will be way too much going on

JESUS, OUR TOTAL DEFENCE The LORD reminded me of something that happened about twenty years ago. I had heard of a lady whose husband had gone off to a social event with a female colleague. Well, it was the event of another colleague from work and they had all decided to take off from his house. So the female colleague
