SOUR
Photocredit: Fineartamerica.com As a child, I found it complicated to describe a sour taste. I don't consider it bitter because lime is sweeter than vinegar. Therefore vinegar is bitter, and I can't place lime in that category. Then also, I can't call lime sweet because sugar is sweet (lime can't share that space). So "bitter sweet ", that's how I resolved to describe the taste of ' sour '. In learning the English Language, I was taught the rules of 'word and opposites.' In distinguishing, a word is either here or there. It can't be both at the same time. The opposite of big is small. So if something is big, it can't be small and vice versa. What happens when two opposites collide? Oxymoron is the literary answer but in life, I want to call this situation sour. Now I can start talking. Has anyone here ever felt sour? As in happy yet sad, focused yet confused, faith-up yet doubtful, courageous yet fearful? We have learnt t...

IN BETWEEN TWO AND THREE
On the cross shaped tree are two types of lines –horizontal and vertical. In the environment of earth we were made to live with “people”. Humans are beings with a spirit, body and a soul. The spirit emphasizes a vertical relationship (man and God), the body emphasizes a horizontal relationship (man to man) but the soul emphasizes the cross (horizontal and vertical relationship). The soul is as broad as the sky and as deep as the ocean floor. It's the summary of the will, emotion and intellect. We go “soul-winning” because the position of the soul is critical to dictating the state of the spirit and the destination of the body after death. Precisely, I will look at the emotions and how it plays in our human relations on earth. Let’s talk about relationships. Have you met good Christians that backslided because of a new boyfriend or a new girlfriend? I am not a love expert or relationship counsellor, I’m just a girl inspired by God to share a story. You may want to under...
OPPORTUNITY COST (Value not added is WASTED)
Capsules of Hope for 10th June Learn to appreciate growth and actually “ GROW ”. If someone or something is not adding value to your life, it is reducing the value. There is nothing like a neutral effect. If you have money and you do not invest it, you are not increasing the value, neither are you keeping the value because the market fluctuates almost daily. The technical truth is that the money is losing value and you have not realized it. The lack of knowledge of the principle of value adding is what the last servant in Luke 19:20 showed (“Then the other came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your pound. I wrapped it up in a piece of cloth”). He thought that by not investing the pounds given him, he had returned it to the master in the value he got it. But listen to the Master “Why then did you not put my money into the bank? Then when I returned, I could have collected it with interest” (Luke 19:12-27). Stagnation is retrogressive, don’t entertain it. Invest in b...
TRUST VEE
One of the best experiential learning exercises used for team-building is the “Trust-V”, all of the times I coordinated and partook in this, the same things happened. The farther you go in the V, the more you have to “trust” your partner to lean on them.👬 I can guarantee that your broken heart would heal, trust me. Many people in glorious marriages once experienced disappointment, so “chill”😊! I can assure you that every wound you incurred in your journey would heal. Moreso, I promise you that those failed attempts at achieving your dreams? You will still make it someday, look back and appreciate the experience💃. But I’m very sorry😞, I cannot assure you that you can resurrect a dead trust. I can’t console you that you can remake a broken trust. I’m sorry, trust is like slime, I can’t guarantee you can stand to build it again. People have tried to recover the trust they broke, it took some the rest of their lifetime. So I advice that be careful how you treat people. 90...
THE GOOD ITSELF (The debt of Love)
THE GOOD ITSELF (The debt of Love) I have met people who did me so much good with the promise that I do more to others, I must pay my debt. Now the question is: Ain’t you owing something?. Several times, people have asked about my source of motivation, especially after the 4.0 GPA “hat-trick” record. If I told you, then I didn’t say anything far from this. My life is a pursuit to pay this debt. This debt I owe shall take a lifetime. Romans 13:8 says ‘Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.’ The debt of love is always outstanding because we will always have people to show it to (until death). In John 12: 8 Jesus said ‘You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me." In otherwords, for the debt of love to humanity you will always have it outstanding. Our purpose on earth is to pay this debt of love. I remember occasions at the school library (which w...
ERROR OF COMMISSION (The Intellectuals 1.0)
Hat-Trick Series (Ep. 2) ‘What is the difference between job enlargement and job enrichment?’ the teacher asked. The class was quiet about the question and noisy about closure. It was 8:35pm already, 5 minutes beyond closing time. Our bodies might be physically present but mentally, some of us just flew from the window, appeared at home and are currently laying under the warmth of a thick blanket on a cold winter night. Albert Einstein Finally, the lecturer went ahead to answer his question but I was upset. I was angry because my answer was exactly how he said it. I thought it but I didn’t raise my hand to say it. Have you ever been asked a question, thought the answer, thought you ‘will be wrong’ or you are shy, refused to speak and then the answer comes and GBAM ! … You were RIGHT? I hated that moment. Often, I have been scared to get it wrong. That syndrome of carrying pregnancies of ideas and not going to the labour ward, I call it the ERROR OF COMMISSION. I...
