  Happy new week, my dear friend. We have been talking about the state of mind, and how it affects poverty, wealth, and purpose. We will be wrapping up for the month with this, and I'll begin with a story. Ade was a young man born into poverty. He grew up in a family where struggle was the normal language. His only dream was to make money, to leave the trenches, and never look back. As he got older, he worked endlessly. He slept late, woke early, and gave everything he had just to succeed. And he did. He made money. He moved into one of the finest estates in the city. He drove the best cars and wore the finest clothes. He ticked off every box he once believed would make him happy. But deep down, he still felt empty. Ade had escaped being broke, but he hadn’t escaped poverty. He had enough money, but he still wasn’t enough. This is the tragedy many never talk about. The belief that money will fix everything is one of the biggest lies of our time. Contentment does not come from accou...

Happy new week my, dear friend, trust you had a wonderful weekend. Today, I will start by telling a bible story, the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:16–21), Jesus tells of a man whose land yielded a great harvest. Rather than use his abundance wisely, he tore down his barns to build bigger ones, hoarding for himself and thinking his soul could rest in riches. But God called him a fool. That night, his life ended. It wasn’t his wealth that condemned him. It was his mindset. He had money, but no meaning. Riches, but no reason. That story still speaks today. Money, when held without purpose, turns a blessing into vanity. Truth is, money is not the root of evil, misuse is. The same note that buys illegal drugs can buy drugs for a sick child. The same money that funds a reckless lifestyle can fund a legacy. We must stop treating money like a sin, and start seeing it as a servant. When spent right, money becomes a message. It speaks in scholarships, in hospitals, in opportunities created f...

  Happy new week my dear friend, I hope you picked few things from my last message, and I hope you'll pick from today's message too. Poverty isn’t always about empty pockets often, it’s about an empty perspective. The lack of knowledge is one of the first silent killers of potential. A man who doesn’t know better cannot do better. Many are not poor because they lack opportunity, but because they lack the understanding to recognize or maximize one. When your mind is starved of new information, you settle for survival instead of striving for significance. It’s not what you don’t have that limits you, it’s what you don’t know. Time, they say, waits for no one, but for the poor in mindset, time is either wasted or ignored. A person’s attitude towards time determines their altitude in life. While some treat every second as a seed, others treat hours like ash, casually blown away without value. Poverty reigns where time is misused. The wealth of the rich isn't just in currency; i...

  Hello My dear reader, happy new week. Today, I'll start with the story of a young man who experienced penury. He told stories about how he lost his Dad because they couldn't afford #5,000, and how his mum died due to the complications, as the father was the bread winner, and they became homeless and more miserable immediately after his demise, even though the family of 6 was managing in A ROOM before he died. The children got displaced, and everyone went separate ways, darely in the quest for survival, every man to his own, just like that the family was wiped out. Despite their family being the price they paid for poverty, they still weren't rich, that is how expensive poverty is, it has no sympathy for your past, no emotions for your situation. It then crossed my mind that while ignorance and illeteracy are popularly known to be expensive, poverty is underrated.  If there's anything everyman works and pray against, then it is poverty, we work so hard to avoid it, al...

Happy new month my dear friend, I pray that this month will be productive for us, may all the good things of this month be our portion, and may evil not come near us and our family. This week's message is coming late, because I've been looking for the best way to share my experience, I will be sharing some videos with today's message to give more clarity to the message I will be passing. I pray you are blessed by the message.  I recently traveled to Greece for a vacation, not just to relax, but to retrace the steps of Apostle Paul and experience the living history of his ministry. Importantly, I fellowshiped with brethren and participated in the celebration of the annual TOTAL WOMAN CONFERENCE. One of the most profound parts of this journey was our tour around the ancient city of Philippi. We explored the ruins of Basilica A and Basilica B, the remnants of the earliest churches, and the excavated city once buried by an earthquake. These stones may be old, but they still spe...

  Happy Sunday, my dear friend. Today’s message is a reminder of something deeply comforting yet often overlooked the unfailing love of God. The story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 is one of the most powerful pictures of God's unfailing love. A young man demanded his inheritance, left home, and wasted it all in reckless living. When he hit rock bottom, eating with pigs and ashamed, he decided to return, not expecting restoration, just hoping to be treated as a servant. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, ran toward him, embraced him, and threw a celebration. No lectures, no shame, just love, lavish, undeserved, and overwhelming. That’s how God loves us: not based on our worthiness, but based on His heart. Sometimes, life throws us into chaos so fierce that we begin to wonder if we’ve been forgotten. But the truth is, even when we feel abandoned or overwhelmed, God is silently at work on our behalf. Just because we don’t see the hand of God moving immediately doesn’...

  Happy Sunday, my dear friend. Today, I'll begin by telling you the story of a young man; at 28, Jide had a stable job, a decent apartment, and a routine that made everyone think he was “doing well”, but deep inside, he felt hollow, like a man watching his own life from a distance. One day, after hearing a street preacher shout, "Don't die with your song still in you!" something in him cracked open. That night, he dusted off an old journal and wrote down everything he once dreamed of, starting a youth foundation, traveling, performing poetry, making his life count. The next morning, he quit surviving and started living, one bold step at a time. Years later, as the founder of a movement that had touched thousands, he often said, "The day I stopped existing was the day I chose to answer the call of my own heart. That’s when life truly began." In a world that glorifies busyness and survival, many have mistaken existence for life. We wake up, go to work, return...

Happy new week my dear friend, most importantly, happy mother's day. Being a mother is the most sacrificial responsibility in this world, we can never overlook the impact of mothers, I join the rest of the world to celebrate every mother. I'm happy to write you again this week, and I hope you are blessed by today's message. I had an experience recently, I went on a fishing trip with my friends, I became sea sick, while I was gathering myself together, I observed how massive the ocean was, it became bigger as we advanced, as we could no longer see the banks, then I began to assume a lot, but the most interesting thought was about the creator, I begin to think about how lucky I am to be a daughter to someone who created all of these mighty things. It wasn't my first time on a ship or boat, but the experience was different this time, I was humbled to experience God. I took time to appreciate him for calling me his friend, child, and that despite all his mighty creations, h...

Happy Sunday my dear friend, thank you for celebrating me last week, and I'm so glad to see how far we have come together. May God continue to keep us stronger and productive. This week I will be talking on failure, emphasizing on why we must reject it.  In life, many start out without clarity. No focus, no purpose, no vision. They move because others are moving. They act because they think they should, not because they are driven by intent. Yet, true success demands more. It demands that you settle one major question: Why must I not fail? Abraham Lincoln knew why he couldn’t afford failure. Though he lost much, he refused to give up. Lee De Forest, inventor of the triode tube, stood firm even when he was charged with fraud. Walt Disney faced countless rejections, but he pressed on. The Wright brothers were criticized and doubted, but they dared the impossible until they made it possible. History tells us one truth. Those who win are those who refuse to surrender to failure. Many t...
