Study. Work. Hope. Perseverance.

Sun, 27 Sep 2026

“Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings.” Proverbs 22:29

Helping the deaf to communicate was what truly motivated Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. Perhaps that’s because his mother and his wife were both deaf. Bell believed that if he could help deaf people communicate, he could find a way to transmit sound through technology. For five frustrating and impoverished years, he experimented with a variety of materials to make a metal disc that would vibrate in response to sound, reproduce those sounds, and send them over an electrified wire.

During a visit to Washington, DC, he called on Joseph Henry, a scientist who was a pioneer in research related to electricity. He presented his ideas to him and asked his advice—should he let someone else perfect the telephone or should he do it himself? Henry encouraged Bell to do it himself, to which he complained that he lacked the necessary knowledge of electricity. Henry’s brief answer was, “Then get it.” And so Bell immersed himself in the study of electricity. A year later, Bell obtained a patent for the telephone. Study, work, hope, and perseverance are “common things”, but they are the keys to uncommon success in life. And as Bell discovered, perseverance is often the most challenging. Longfellow wrote: “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.” Solomon wrote: “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men.”

I didn't see Russia in the list 🤔.

Politics is a bitter game.

The small IPO share that I bought, honestly I didn't regret it. Whatever will happen to it in future, let it happen.
No pain, no gain is life.

Get ready for change (2)

Sat, 26 Sep 2026

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven…He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:1,

In his book Good to Great, business leader and author Jim Collins compares A&P, one of the world’s largest retail organisations in the 1950s, with Kroger, a smaller, value-based supermarket chain that was also doing well at the time. Both of these companies realised that the world was changing with technology. Smartly, both companies conducted research and hired qualified analysts to forecast how these changes would impact future business. They each concluded that going forward, convenience for the customer would be paramount.

One-stop shopping was the name of the new shopping game. And Kroger took steps to adjust its stores to the new ‘superstore’ strategy that we take for granted today. In addition to food, they started to carry toiletries, prescription medicines, household items, and more. A&P, however, chose to ignore the findings. The result? In 1999, Kroger was significantly outperforming its one-time competitor A&P and took over the number one spot in the market. There’s a lesson here for you. To achieve what you want in life, you can’t afford to ignore the signs of change or the oncoming challenges. And pretending that something isn’t happening is simply living in denial. Whether we welcome it or not, change eventually arrives. So, are you ready and willing to adapt to change when it comes? Are the techniques you use to cope proactive and effective? Are you seeking God’s guidance and blessing? “The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6 NKJV).

“Though your beginning was insignificant, yet your end will increase greatly.” Job 8:7

We often cling to people and things as if we can keep everything the same, but it can’t be done. What you can do is be ready to deal with change when it happens. You may not be able to predict what the change will be, but you can put things in place to help you to deal with it when it arrives.

Children go to university, so wise parents consider saving when their babies are first born. People eventually stop working, so it makes sense to save for retirement. A CEO who will one day step down plans for a successor so the company can continue to flourish. Sometimes change is hard, but planning helps us greet change. With God at your side, you have all the tools you need for success, including the flexibility and adaptability to adjust your course whenever necessary. Think of how technology, such as mobile phones and computers, has changed the way we communicate, shop, and live. The GPS is an amazing technological innovation, but initially, drivers weren’t too happy to embrace it. But it has transformed the experience of finding one’s way while driving. As you navigate the changes of life: (1) Realise that God lives in you, works through you, and always has your best interests at heart (see Philippians 2:13). (2) Reach out for the latest tools and techniques, whether they’re technological or involve new approaches to family life, diet, exercise, or faith. In other words, get ready for change.

Live the crucified life

Thu, 24 Sep 2026

“I have been crucified with Christ.” Galatians 2:20

Paul wrote: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” When we remember that we belong to Christ, we become less controlled by pride, offence, and selfish desires. The day you put your faith in Christ is the day your old self died. Your old way of living apart from God is gone. The person who goes down in the waters of baptism is not the same as the person who comes up. You are a new creation in Christ.

Of course, you must step into this identity on a daily basis. Paul said, “I die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31 NKJV). Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily” (Luke 9:23 NIV). The key word in both verses is “daily”. There’s great freedom in this daily death. Your performance is no longer a statement of your worth. Your ego is no longer on the line. Your reputation is no longer at risk. You are living for the approval of One—that is the Lord! Hence, Paul could write: “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Galatians 6:14 NKJV). Then to drive his point home, he wrote: “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3 NKJV).

At least, I'm one of the directors now 😂😂😂😂

The God of second chances

Wed, 23 Sep 2026

“Arise, go up to Ai.” Joshua 8:1

After suffering a humiliating defeat, God gave Joshua a second chance at victory: “Arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.” The king of Ai, still strutting with pride from victory number one, set out for victory number two. He marched towards Joshua, leaving the town unprotected. Joshua’s elite squad charged in and set fire to it. And Joshua reversed his course, catching the army of Ai in the middle. The victory was complete.

Contrast this attack with the first one. In the first attack, Joshua consulted spies; in the second, he listened to God. In the first, he stayed home. In the second, he led the way. The point? God gave Joshua a new plan—"Try again, my way.” And when he followed God’s strategy, God gave him victory. Perhaps, like Joshua, you too have suffered a humiliating defeat. If so, here are two things you need to know: (1) Don’t give up on God, for He won’t give up on you. “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7 NKJV). (2) God will give you another chance. Jonah ran from the call of God, but God wasn’t through with him. “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, ‘Arise, go to Nineveh’” (Jonah 3:1–2 NKJV). He did. And what God did for Joshua and Jonah, He will do for you if you turn to Him.

Always do a good job

Tue, 22 Sep 2026

“The Lord God put the man in the garden of Eden to care for it and work it.” Genesis 2:15

The first thing God did when He made Adam was put him to work. That’s because work gives us a sense of purpose, meaning, and dignity. “God put the man in the garden…to…work it.” So Adam was a gardener.

But whether you count cash in a bank, trade on the stock market, flip burgers at a takeaway shop, whip up pasta specials at a five-star restaurant, fell giant timber in the forest, or split and deliver firewood, coach a team, pastor a congregation, publish bestselling books, deliver newspapers in the early morning hours, star in your own television show, farm a large acreage, mow and edge neighbourhood lawns, go out on the road as a salesperson for computers, drive a truck loaded with machinery, build homes, clean swimming pools, argue cases before a judge, or settle family disputes as a counsellor, always do a good job. A wise man once said: “Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence.” The biblical character Daniel did that. And like cream, he rose to the top in Babylon. “Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him” (Daniel 6:3 KJV). No task is insignificant when doing it faithfully for the Lord. The Bible says: “Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper” (Proverbs 13:4 NLT). So always do a good job.

Talk back to your giant

Mon, 21 Sep 2026

“I come against you in the name of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 17:45

Goliath towered over David. But David looked at Goliath through the eyes of his omnipotent God who sits high, looks low, and conquers all. “You come against me with sword and spear…but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” Intimidation is one of the enemy’s favourite weapons. He will get you to think yourself into a state of fearfulness.

One day, cartoon character Charlie Brown was having lunch at school when he confided to his friend Linus that he didn’t feel good enough to approach a certain young lady: “I can’t talk to that little red-haired girl because she’s something and I’m nothing. If I were something and she were nothing, I could talk to her, or if she were something and I were something, then I could talk to her. Or if she were nothing and I were nothing, then I also could talk to her. But she’s something and I’m nothing so I can’t talk to her.” Linus responded: “For a nothing, Charlie Brown, you’re really something!” Charlie Brown had allowed the redhead’s beauty to intimidate him and force him to the sidelines. As His redeemed child, God thinks you’re really something. David said, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy” (Psalm 107:2 NKJV). And because David’s words lined up with God’s Word and His plan, Goliath was stopped. Whatever "giant" you're facing today, remember that you do not face it alone. The God who strengthened David is with you too!

In partnership with God

Sun, 20 Sep 2026

“In all things at all times, having all that you need.” 2 Corinthians 9:8

Paul wrote: “God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work…Now he who supplies seed to the sower…will…increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion” (vv. 8, 10–11 NIV).

Paul reminds us that God is the source of everything we have. As we use His gifts generously and faithfully, He continues to provide what we need so that we can keep serving others and advancing His purposes. If a restaurant gives good service, it results in repeat business. The same applies to good stewards. God is able to provide all we need, enabling us to be generous whenever opportunities arise. God takes special care of faithful stewards. As long as you are in a giving partnership with Him, He makes sure you get everything you need, exactly when you need it. That’s His offer. True wealth is having everything you need when you need it. That should dispel all your fears about giving. Is fear holding back your generosity? Do you give leftovers because you’re concerned about making ends meet? Have you ever asked God to give you a plan for the stewardship of the money He has entrusted to you? At some point, as a Christian, you’ve just got to go for it and say, “God, because I worry so much about money, I’m inviting You into my finances. I want to know that whether things are good or bad, You’re involved.”

Don’t speak with a “forked tongue”

Sat, 19 Sep 2026

“Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.” James 3:10

Note what the Bible says about an uncontrolled tongue: “Sometimes it praises…and sometimes it curses…And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs?” (vv. 9–12 NLT).

We sometimes describe a dishonest person as speaking with a “forked tongue”. They’ll say one thing at one time in one place and the opposite thing at another time in another place. The Bible says, “This is not right!” We deceive ourselves if we think we can go through life speaking with a forked tongue. Our words are a barometer of what’s really in our hearts. Hence Solomon wrote: “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (Proverbs 4:23 NLT). Sometimes a doctor will ask you to stick out your tongue during an examination. Why? Because internal problems can often be identified by the film or coating on the tongue. Now a competent physician wouldn’t just clean off your tongue and send you home. No, they would determine the source of your problem and then treat it. And a heart that’s surrendered to God produces a tongue that’s under the control of His Holy Spirit. Again Solomon weighed in: “Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips” (Ecclesiastes 10:12 NIV).

The blessing of obedience

Fri, 18 Sep 2026

“Consider your ways! You have sown much, and bring in little.” Haggai 1:5–6

In Haggai chapter one, we see a group of people whom God told eighteen years previously to rebuild His house. They still had not obeyed Him, yet they didn’t understand why their lives were a mess. They wondered why God was not blessing them.

So He said to them: “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your panelled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?…Consider your ways! You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled…you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.…Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified” (vv. 4–8 NKJV). When God says, “Consider your ways”, He invites us to examine our hearts and ask whether there are areas where we have ignored His leading or neglected what He has called us to do. James wrote: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17 NKJV). The words “no variation or shadow of turning” mean that God is intrinsically good, and He longs to shower your life with His goodness. But to experience it, you must walk in obedience. “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11 NKJV). Obedience is your key to victory and blessing.

To my knowledge, profit doesn't come immediately. Shares is like keeping your money while it grows with little interest over time. Meanwhile it can go the other way too if the company you bought their shares are not doing well business wise.

Like 2 years ago, I bought the GTCO shares for N44 per share, it's worth N130 now. And I've collected 2/3 dividends from them already.

Be a sower

Thu, 17 Sep 2026

“Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 9:10

Three young men were each given three kernels of corn by a wise old sage. He told them to go out into the world and use the corn to bring themselves good fortune. The first young man put his three kernels of corn into a bowl of soup and ate them. The second thought, “I can do better than that,” and he planted his three kernels of corn. Within a few months, he had three stalks of corn. He took the ears of corn from the stalks, boiled them, and had enough corn to eat for three meals. The third man said to himself, “I can do better than that!” He also planted three kernels of corn.

But when his three stalks of corn produced, he stripped one of the ears and replanted all of the seeds in it, gave the second ear of corn to a sweet maiden, and ate the third. His one full ear’s worth of replanted corn kernels gave him 200 stalks of corn! And the kernels of these he continued to replant, setting aside only a bare minimum to eat. He eventually planted a hundred acres of corn. With his fortune, he not only won the hand of the sweet maiden, but he also purchased the land owned by the sweet maiden’s father. And he never hungered again. There’s an important scriptural principle here. God entrusts resources to us so that we can use them for His purposes. When we use what God has given us faithfully, He is able to provide what we need to continue serving Him and helping others. So be a sower.

God is putting the pieces together

Wed, 16 Sep 2026

“Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us.” 2 Corinthians 4:17

Without God’s Word, most of our experiences in life make no sense whatsoever. With it, we can decipher our experiences. Few things are more comforting or more exhilarating than knowing that God is the One putting together the jigsaw puzzle of your life. It was a London cartographer, John Spilsbury, who is credited with commercialising jigsaw puzzles around 1760. During the Great Depression, they were popularised in America as a cheap form of entertainment.

Puzzles come in all shapes and sizes, including the latest and greatest—3D spherical jigsaws. But the method of assembly has not changed. It requires the fitting together of oddly shaped, interlocking pieces. The key is the picture on top of the box. Without it, you’re lost. And that’s why many of us feel helpless and hopeless at times—because the pieces of our lives don’t seem to fit together, and we can’t see God’s vision for the whole. Few have suffered more than the apostle Paul, yet he wrote: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:16–18 NKJV). Yes, bad things do happen to good people. But God has promised to recycle it, redeem it, and use it for our good and His glory.

You’re called to do “good works”

Tue, 15 Sep 2026

“Being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Colossians 1:10

Many people know how Helen Keller overcame the difficult physical challenge of being left without hearing, speech, and sight after contracting a fever as a baby, and how she eventually learned to communicate by learning Braille. Her life inspired millions of people. One of her greatest admirers was author Mark Twain. She was invited to visit many presidents at the White House throughout her life. What many people don’t know, however, is how hard Helen worked as an adult.

After graduating with honours from Radcliffe College, she worked to help others until her death at the age of eighty-eight. She authored numerous articles. She gave lectures for the American Foundation for the Blind and raised millions of dollars for them. Throughout her life, Helen Keller received numerous honours in recognition of her advocacy and service to people who were blind or deaf. In the Bible, Paul prayed for the Colossian Christians: “That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him” (Colossians 1:10 NKJV). And he gave them two ways in which they could do this: “Being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (NKJV). Faith and action; spirituality and service; ministering to the Lord and meeting the needs of others. That’s how Helen Keller lived. You say, “But my goal is to please the Lord rather than people.” Here’s how you do that: “With goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men” (Ephesians 6:7 NKJV). Hymn writer Charles Meigs wrote: “Others, Lord, yes others, let this my motto be. Help me to live for others, that I may live like Thee.”

“Joshua said…‘Sun, stand still’…So the sun stood still.” Joshua 10:12-13

God said: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV). You’re to call on God for great things as well as little things. Joshua’s army was battling the combined might of five hostile armies, and he was winning. But he was running out of time and needed more daylight.

So he did something no one in recorded history has ever done before: “Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: ‘Sun, stand still.’…So the sun stood still…till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel” (Joshua 10:12–14 NKJV). Like Joshua, who was battling five kings, you may be battling discouragement, disease, despair, defeat or death. Respond in prayer—honest, continual, and audacious prayer. You are a member of God’s family. You come to Him not as a stranger but as an heir. Confidently approach His throne (see Hebrews 4:16). Earnestly make your requests known (see Philippians 4:6), not because of what you’ve achieved but because of what Christ has done on your behalf. Because Christ shed His blood for you, you can confidently pour out your heart before God, knowing God hears you.

“If you believe, you will get anything you ask for in prayer.” Matthew 21:22

Max Lucado wrote about the power of prayer in the life of his friend Greg Pruett: “He is trained as an engineer, linguist, and Bible translator. But his most significant contribution might be in the area of ‘extreme prayer’”. In Greg’s book by that name, he related how he returned from Guinea, West Africa, to assume the role of president of Pioneer Bible Translators.

It was 2008—the Great Recession. The ministry’s financial chart indicated a freefall towards insolvency. Greg had no experience in leading such an organisation and no tangible place to cut expenses. Resources were few, and the donors were disappearing. Greg knew of only one response: prayer. “That’s when I began to learn not to pray about my strategies, but to make prayer the strategy.” In July, he wrote a half-page letter to his teammates worldwide, calling them to prayer. He urged them to stand before God’s throne with specific and bold requests. Greg described the result: “When I saw the end of the year report, I knew God had heard our prayers. My eyes welled up with tears…If a financial expert were to analyse this graph, they would put their finger on the month of July and say, ‘What did you do right here? Whatever it was, you need to do a lot more of that.’ I searched in vain for a tangible explanation. I wanted to find trends to explain how it worked, so we could do it again. I never could…I just knew God provided. All I had was God—and prayer.” Is that all you’ve got? That’s all you need!

“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.” Hebrews 10:19

Martin Luther had a good friend named Frederick Myconius who became very ill to the point of death. Luther wrote to him: “I command thee in the name of God to live because I still have need of thee in the work of reforming the church…The Lord will never let me hear that thou art dead but will permit thee to survive me. For this I am praying, this is my will, and may my will be done, because I seek only to glorify the name of God.” We think of speaking softly to God, of humbling ourselves before God, but not of praying boldly.

Yet that’s what the Bible says we should do: “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus…let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith…Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful…Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise” (vv. 19, 22, 23, 35, 36 NKJV). Prayer is not about persuading God to let go of something He’s reluctant to give. He’s more willing to give than we are to receive. He’s actually looking for opportunities to bless us: “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV). So, pray boldly and be confident that God is faithful to His promises.

Amen and amen in Jesus name 🙏

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace.” Hebrews 4:16

When Martin Luther’s co-worker became ill, the reformer prayed boldly for healing. “I besought the Almighty with great vigour…quoting from Scripture all the promises I could remember…and said that He must grant my prayer, if I was henceforth to put faith in His promises.” As John Wesley was crossing the Atlantic Ocean, his ship encountered a great storm. He was reading in his cabin when he learned that the winds were knocking the ship off course, so he responded in prayer.

Adam Clarke, a colleague, heard the prayer and recorded it: “Almighty God, Thou hast sway everywhere, and all things serve the purpose of Thy will…Command these winds and waves that they should obey Thee, and take us speedily and safely to the haven whither we would go.” Wesley stood up from his knees, took up his book, and continued to read. Adam Clarke went on deck where he found calm winds and the ship on course. But Wesley made no remark about the answered prayer. Clarke wrote, “So fully did he expect to be heard that he took it for granted that he was heard.” Boldness in prayer is an uncomfortable thought for many. Pounding on the door of the Most High? Wrestling with God? Is such prayer irreverent? Presumptuous? It would be, had God not invited us to pray as such: “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Are you in a “time of need”? “Come boldly to the throne of grace,” trusting that God hears your prayer and will give you the mercy, grace, and help you need.

Vocalise the Scriptures

Thu, 10 Sep 2026

“The tongue has the power of life and death.” Proverbs 18:21

Something powerful happens when we vocalise God’s Word. “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Sometimes you have to say it like you believe it! Jesus literally spoke to the wind and the waves, right? He rebuked storms. He rebuked demons. He rebuked fevers. He even told us to tell mountains to move! (See Mark 11:23.) When you verbalise your faith, you remind yourself of God's promises and place your trust in Him.

There are some things you should not say. When Jeremiah used his age as an excuse to say no to God’s call, the Lord rebuked him: “Say not, I am a child” (Jeremiah 1:7 KJV). In other words, don’t disqualify yourself if God has called you! Instead, speak life-giving, faith-filled, grace-laced words. Mark Batterson says: “There are some things I refuse to say because it gives them power. I call it my ‘Say Not’ list.” What words need to go on your “Say Not” list? This is not just about four-letter words. Jesus said we’d give account for every idle word (see Matthew 12:36). The word idle means unemployed. An idle word is a useless, worthless word—a word that doesn’t accomplish anything. Jesus also said in Matthew 12:34 (TLV), “For from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks,” so our words are x-rays of what’s on the inside. That’s where the battle is won or lost. If we want our words to reflect His Word, that’s where we’ve got to drop anchor. And when we do, the mind of Christ becomes our mindset too.

Congratulations to him. But I pray he should truly have the interest of the poor masses at heart sha 😥
