Money is only half the value in life. Relationships are the better half. Don’t chase only money. Allow other good things in life to catch up with you.


The most wasted life, is the life spent only chasing money. Money can’t love you. People can .

Rich friends are like champagne. Nice to drink. But ordinary people, like gatemen, security guard, house helps, are like water. Vital to life.


They secure you as you sleep. They raise your children as you work. Appreciate them. Dont underrate them!

Champagne is expensive, but is not necessary to life like water. Ordinary things are often more valuable than expensive ones.

Water might be ‘ordinary’, but without it, there is no life. Value the ordinary people in your life. They make life easier.

Not everyone who loses an argument to you does so because they are wrong. Sometimes it is because they want to keep you as a friend.

If you are always right, it is not because you are smarter than your friends. They are just more mature than you!

Satan sends haters your way as temptation for you to shift your focus from your purpose to your haters. Don't fall for it.


What you focus on multiplies in your life. If you focus on success it will manifest. So don’t waste your focus on haters.

Dont spend time thinking about your enemies. Let them think of you. Spend yours thinking about your progress.

Have the mentality that you are on earth to achieve great things and they are on earth to talk about those great things you will achieve.

Don't announce your plans. To do so is to supply enemies with the ammunition they need to shoot down your plans.


Announce your victories instead. Be like a cook. A cook doesn’t ring a bell when he is cooking. The bell is rung when the food is ready.

The basic difference between the wealthy and the poor is that the wealthy manage their time, while the poor manage their money.


Since time is more valuable than money, the wealthy are investing what always give them the best return on investment.

Take Nigeria. The currency (Naira), was devalued 87% from 2015. If you had bank savings, you basically lost half your money.


But if you invested in, say a farm, food prices rose to match devaluation. Wise investments protect you from devaluations!

Dear men,

A woman with:

Don’t save money in banks. Invest it. Currency can be devalued and your savings will lose value.


But when money is devalued, the worth of assets is recalculated to reflect the new value of money. That's why the wealthy hardly ever lose their wealth.

Redefine money in your mind. Don’t see money as money. See it as SEED. Learn to plant it. Expect to eat its fruit, not its seed.

Stamp this mental picture in your mind. If you eat your SEED, you won’t be able to FEED tomorrow. FEED from your fruit.

“Wealth and poverty is in the heart”-Hadith

Contentment is the best wealth available. Contentment makes the poor feel rich. Discontentment makes the rich feel poor.

Get contentment and you get wealth.

Innocence is only sweet when you are with other innocent people. However, it becomes foolishness when you continue to be innocent when you know full well you are in the company of ruthless people “be wise as serpents and gentle as doves”

It was Moses’s own brothers that reported him to Pharaoh, for coming to their defence. Learn from that.

Don’t think because you assist your kith and kin, they will automatically be grateful. Some will resent you for being more successful than them.

Dont pray that God should help you cope with your life. You were not created to cope

“Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion”

You were created to DOMINATE your environment, not to cope or be dominated.

True friends are like stars. As long as the sun shines, you wont appreciate stars. But at night, stars become more visible because of darkness.


Very few of those you see in your sunshine days will come out during the midnight of your life.

You are not a weak man if you spend quality time with your wife. Remember, it was Adam’s absence that the serpent took advantage of to manipulate Eve and cause the fall of man. Make sure he does not do the same to your marriage.

Before getting angry at your parents for disciplining you, think of those who fail in life due to not having parents like yours.


Think of your friends who had parents who did not discipline them. Today they are crying the tears you cried as a child.

It takes minutes for a Toyota to roll off the assembly line, but it takes months to manufacture a Rolls Royce.


Delay does not necessarily mean denial. Some people are getting a Toyota, but you are getting a Rolls. Give your prayer time to manifest.

Dear men,

Dont be a good man, but a bad husband. Having time for friends and colleagues, but not for your wife and kids. Smiling and cheerful to boss and coworkers, but grouchy and irritable at home. Show your best impression at home, not outside.

Knowledge doesn’t bring blessings. It is application of knowledge that makes God bless you:

“Now that you KNOW these things, you will be blessed if you DO them.”-John 13:17

This explains why some professors are poor, while some dropouts are rich!

Dear men,

If you claim to love your wife and children, yet you don’t have:

* Life insurance
* Investments, and
* A written will (which you keep secret)

The you don’t know the meaning of unconditional agape love. Go and learn what it means

Dear men,

Connect to your children before you go out with friends to chill. Don’t just pay rent. Try to pay a visit to your parents! Salary is important, but don’t chase it to the detriment of family. Don’t just love life. Also love your wife.
Re: Wisdom That Works- ONER by Fairview1: 2:25am On Apr 29, 2020
When you wake up, make sure you connect to God before you connect to the Internet.


For married men, make sure you connect to your wife before you connect to your WiFi. If you are a wife, make sure you connect to your husband before your broadband.

If you only see faults in people, it may be that it is not them that are faulty, rather it is your eyes that are faulty.

No matter how bad people are, there is still something good that can be found in them. Change the angle from which you see them.

Don’t rely on people’s gratitude. Many people don’t like to be grateful. They see gratitude as a debt, and humans hate debt.


Instead, make yourself necessary. Pharaoh’s butler remembered Joseph because he needed him, not because he was grateful!

Don’t be hard on yourself, or hate yourself, or criticise yourself, or disparage yourself. There are enough haters in the world ready to do that. The shortage is in people who will love you. If you must do anything, let it be loving yourself!

Some people have no qualms saying they LOVE food, clothes, their job, an airline, sports, a TV show, a book, politics, or even money.

But to tell their spouse or children, ‘I love you’ is impossible for them. Their love is reserved for THINGS!

It is easier to abort a dream than to kill it. Why this rush to flaunt your baby bump. Imagine if King Herod saw Mary’s baby bump.

He would have worked to abort her Pregnancy. Don’t alert haters to what is coming. Let them hear when it has come!
