Virtuous People

First of all I want to give thanks to Almighty God who gave us all virtues because to be honest we have all got one good thing that distinguishes us which is character. Secondly to our parents who are our life teachers... I love you all Shout out to Miss Famodimu Temilade who this write up is dedicated to on her birthday today 28 July 2016 And to all my loving readers... Maximum respect and appreciation. Virtue can be said to be the general quality of being morally good either in behavior or character... To be a called a virtuous person means one has been known for living according to high moral standards both in character and attitude. Having good virtues itself is a nature which we have to embrace and be associated with. When we make good virtues our ensign, we will be known for integrity, authority, honesty, obedience, fidelity amongst others.. Let's take a good look at great people who were virtuous. Jesus while on earth was a man of Impeccable character. Abraham was an icon of obedience. Joseph was an icon of honesty. Samuel was an icon of integrity. Elijah was an Icon of Authority. Solomon was a prudent king when it came to judgements. Job was an Icon of fortitude. David was known for bravery. Caleb was an icon of confidence. Sarah was a model for submission. Esther was a model for Chastity. Ruth was an icon of forbearance. But do we still have people with all this virtues... Yes I believe so. For someone to have all this virtues means that one has the ability to withstand opposition, to make wise decisions in difficult situations and to claim what is rightfully ones even when everything around one is in disagreement. And the only way to have all this is to be Godly, and the only way to be Godly is to seek for God all the time through fellowship with him and brethren. To be a virtuous person is not easy but when we hold on to Jesus he will help us.. The bible says those who wait upon the lord shall have their strength renewed.. Human understanding cannot give one that which it takes to be called Virtuous.... So to be able to withstand trials, challenges and oppositions of virtue, we need strength and that strength can only come from God... So seek out your creator and get the needed strength so that you also can be a person of virtue... This post is dedicated to Miss famodimu Temilade on her birthday today 28 jul 2016. Thanks for taking time out to read this write up... I hope you were enlightened by it ... May God open our knowledge of understanding to see the in depth of the message... Thank you.

Transporters

Dedicated to all Transporters Since my arrival to this region... I have seen a lot of drivers... And I believe its high time I talk about them.. You would agree with me that some drivers could be fun to ride with, while some could be hell annoying to journey with, while some are good at minding their business... Some are hell good at poke nosing at other driver's issue while still on motion, and as we know that all drivers need a conductor be it a commercial transport or interstate transport,taxi or BRT, even train and plane because they all need someone to sell tickets for them before departure... Some drivers will quarrel with their conductor all along the journey while some will flow along with theirs... And while some conductors are the reserved type that seek for ways to foster peace, some are fire igniters with their comment and response... But all along we the passengers are always amused with the jolly ride also at one point in time relishing the long ride, and one thing common to all these rides is that they are all ones we won't forget in a hurry.. Who are the drivers and who are the conductors/ ticketers I really want to talk about here? Yoruba call them Ólókó or Awako, Igbo call them ọkwọ ụgbọala, Hausa call them direba or direbobi, Because it is believed they are the drivers of this present generations and some have already started driving the next generation currently... They are our parents Drivers are our fathers while the conductors are our mothers. Without them we would not have been at our present port... All we are today and all we'll be tomorrow, we owe to them.. Some even call them our smaller Gods and I agree with that too... Like some transporters... They find it hard to get passengers...but at the end of the day..they still get to return the vehicle to the owner who is God... So to the drivers who have no passengers yet and for those of us who has been riding in a vehicle with both the driver and conductor present making our ride jolly, or those who have only a Driver/Conductor, or none and its our fellow passenger that took to the wheel for us... We have to always celebrate the people behind the wheels and at the door on each of their special days... Its not easy being a driver...you only get to know that when you get behind the wheel.. And all in all let's remember to tell our drivers to always allow Jesus take the wheel all the time...and to keep praying for them lest they fail in handling the wheel because they must surely give returns over us. This is a message to celebrate the drivers of this present generation and the coming one... Shout out to my lovely Dad in person of Pastor D.K Ajayi of BCEM ministry Lagos. On your birthday today 23 Jul 2016. And to all the fathers and mothers of my of lovely followers and visitors of my blog... like I said in my welcome article..it not just about Me nor You but about US... Let's always celebrate our parents.

Call to remember

A Call to remember your creator Do you know a time cometh when you won't be able to run things like you do now Do you know a time cometh when all you would be good at is sleeping Do you know a time cometh when you won't be carry your weight around Do you know a time cometh when you won't be able to eat what you like Do you know a time cometh when you wud be too feeble to stand cold Do you know a time cometh when you wud prefer sun drying Do you know a time cometh when you wud be happy if you lived your youthful days well Do you know a time cometh when your money wud not be able to buy you good health Do you know a time cometh when your beauty will fade away like the stars Do you know a time cometh when your pretty face will wrinkle Do you know a time cometh when your abs and 6-packs will fall off Do you know a time cometh when your clothes will be too big for you Do you know a time cometh when your trumpet shall sound Do you know a time cometh when it will be called the evil day When that day comes what will be your defence or assurance Ecclesiastes 12:1 ERV says Remember your Creator while you are young, before the bad times come—before the years come when you say, “I have wasted my life.” The best time to remember your creator is now Now that you are still young Now that you are still agile Now that you are still single Now that you are still married Now that you are still learning Now that you are still a fresh graduate Now that you are still seeking for a job Now that you are gainfully employed Now that you are still agile Now that you are still pretty Now that you are still sharp Now that you are still pregnant Now that you still nursing a baby Now that you are still a single parent Now that you are still a widower Tomorrow never ends but your tomorrow may not come Now is not tomorrow Now is what you have at hand Hold it steadfastly Your creator beckons on you like the prodigal son's father to come home The bible says “The son realized that he had been very foolish. He thought, ‘All my father’s hired workers have plenty of food. But here I am, almost dead because I have nothing to eat. I will leave and go to my father. I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against God and have done wrong to you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But let me be like one of your hired workers.’ So he left and went to his father. “While the son was still a long way off, his father saw him coming and felt sorry for him. So he ran to him and hugged and kissed him. Luke 15:17-20 ERV Don't turn a deaf hear...you might regret it later A call to remember your creator By Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel

Our Crown

Our Crown What I own is called Temi What you own is called Tire What we own is called Tiwa Ade is called Crown People bearing Akin, Ola, Omo, Olu can never become kings, they can only try or contest for it Its people who bears Ade that becomes Kings and princes I am Adeyeni... It means one is worth a Crown If You are Temilade.. It means you own the Crown Did I just hear you claiming the Crown.. Well you are also entitled to it and so is everyone whose name doesn't start with Ade What crown am I actually talking about here or rather What Crown should we try to claim Its a Crown that is never too big or small for one Its a Crown that's a mark of our work here on earth Its a Crown which shows us approved Its a Crown that shows we truly followed after Holiness Its one that truly fit the owner Its the Heavenly Crown Its the one that shows that we fulfilled our creator purpose Are you working for it Cus you don't earn it by chance, You dont earn it by Strength, You don't earn it by Power, You don't earn it by self Justification You don't earn it by Mere works But by Grace The bible says what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul Your mere work on earth cant guarantee you that crown You need to keep pressing towards earning it because its the ultimate reward Its a Crown of Gold Made out of Purity Made out of Chastiness Made out of Holiness It doesn't come free but at a price and that price has been paid for by one man named Jesus So seek to follow and obey that man to be able to earn the ultimate prize ever which is the Crown Written by Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel

Nature's Love (Contentment).

Nature's Love (Contentment) I was onced asked what the word Love meant I said Love is everything, it's everywhere...it's Nature. I was asked to be more specific, I replied this: When I look up to the sky, I see a shield that protects us from aliens above like we watch in movies... that's protective love. When it rains, I see the fields/vegetations go green... that's Providence love. The sunshine that dries up my wet clothes and saves me the embarrassment of going out wet... that's backup love. At night, I can walk through the bush and footpaths outside without lamp/torch because the moon is up... that's impromptu love. I am thirsty, I go to the stream to fetch some water and it denied me not... that's Providence love. I am feeling hot, suddenly I started feeling cool and calm because the wind blew... that's Love felt. I needed a lonely/quiet place to think, I saw a shade given by a tree, without permission, I settled under it, it did not fall on me... that's longsuffering love. The same tree produces the books I use in studying, the tissue papers I use at restrooms, it was still patient... that's matured love. I almost woke up late for the interview, then I heard the cock crow, begging me not to wake up late... that's back up love. I wanted to prepare a meal, I needed to select between beef, pork, chicken, turkey gizzard, fish, skins; i went to the market and found it all waiting for me because the livestocks offered themselves... that's submissive love. I can go on and on to tell you of Nature's Love which we enjoy everyday, but I know by now you already know what i mean... Embrace the love nature offers and you will learn one thing... Contentment. Contentment is every thing we should seek for in every aspect of life. Be it Material things, Relationship, Career, Religion... All we need has been given to us by our Creator, all we need to do is just ask of him and be contented with what is made available unto us, we should be contented with the task given to us, we should be contented with the family placed in our care, we should be contented with our ministry. Learn to live a life of Contentment Strive to live a life of Contentment Aim to live a life of contentment Work towards living a life of contentment Embrace a life of contentment God bless you as you do so Nature's love (Contentment) Written by Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel
