Today I want to talk about someone so special to me, someone I love and will always love.

You know a lot of people have asked me who my mentor is, and when I give them my response, they will be like "Who else, who else, who else....." and am like must it be those you wanted to hear or must the person be that popular in the world.

Well am proud to introduce to the world, my mentor, this one person is special and the most important of all my mentors.

Welcome with me my father, Pastor J.A.K. REFINEDFalola. we call him "BABA REFINED" some call him "Baba 70", others call him "Grand Pa"

My father is a wonderful and special man, he brought us up in a special and different ways. Let me share with you some of the qualities I appreciate in my father.

1. Very Loving and Caring:
I don't think I have seen anyone as loving and friendly as my dad, he goes all out there to make people happy, he hates sad faces, he detest hearing unhappy voices, that's why he wants to know exactly what has happened to you, why you are unhappy or sad, he does not stop there, he tries all he can to make you happy.

2. Humble
One day something happened, the baby of our house I mean the youngest child in our family once told my dad "daddy I don't like what you did, you said I ..." naturally from where we come from no son or daughter can tell a father such things. Guess what my father's response was. "Am sorry", this is humility of the highest order.

3. A Giver
Sometimes when I recollect how people collects things from daddy and still behave in a very bad way to him and yet he does not stop being a giver, I just chuckle and say "this man". Daddy always give and continue to give and very happy to give.

Daddy is a year older today and am so happy to celebrate him. Happy Birthday Dad, I love you.

Do You Enjoy What You Do?

Hi people! Today am bringing to you something interesting, it's actually  a video of Mr. Olowoyeye O. A LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) official here in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. I think there is one or two lessons to learn from him.

Please do not fail to leave your comment below, thanks.

1. Enjoy What You Do
The first think I see about this man is that he enjoys what he does, so my question to you is do you enjoy what you do? Whatever you you do and you don't enjoy then it's good you quit doing it, else you will not last in it. So look for what you like and go all out there for it.

2. What People Think Does Not Matter
A lot of people will see this man as "what's making him happy", well let me announce to you that, whether you are doing good or bad, people will have something to say either good or bad. So please remain focus on your job and never mind what people say about you most especially negative criticisms. You can only take it in, think about it and see your error, correct it and continue your life.

3.  People Appreciates Little Effort
If for no reason, be happy for only this reason that people appreciates what you are doing, most especially, jobs that people tends to ridicule and scorn at, for in stance this man does not know what am doing with this video (hyping him), but I'm. So continue to be a positive impact wherever you are.

Your Next Business

Hello friends, this morning am going to be writing a few lines about a question someone asked me and really I felt it's something I should share with others. To some it may not mean anything, but to others it's worth it, so please drive with me today.

Some times this week a colleague came into my office and asked me the question below knowing fully well that what I do is Information Technology.

"What would you like to do, aside Information Technology, in terms of business"

 Want to know my response? see it below!

Really I was just thinking about it, gave her two responses, but she refused, she said those are still IT, then I said to myself, "does it mean, there is nothing else I can Do aside what I major in?" 

Well, that's how a lot of us are, we don't have a thought of other things we can do to earn a living, aside what we do everyday, or what we found ourselves doing.

There are lots of opportunities flying around and we missed the chances because we are not even looking towards that direction.

Let's help some of our readers today, let's leave a comments (an option) of what businesses we can do outside what we currently do. I know someone's life will get better by it.

Have a blissful weekend.

How Do You See Her

Today's talk will be centered on the "Woman" your wife (fiance) and this is coming to celebrate my crown, my wife as she marks another year. Happy Birthday Love.

My Wife

Today's words will speak directly to the guys, the husband of the woman. So guys how do you see her? I will share with you some things God thought me on how to see her the woman, my wife.

Now, let me say irrespective of whom you are, young or old, this is a word to you and you should take it as serious as it should be.

If you are a husband, you should be thoughtful of your wife. Treat her with honor, because she isn't as strong as you are, and she shares with you in the gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers. (1Pe 3:7 CEV)

1. Respect Her
It's so unfortunate that husbands today finds it so hard to respect their wives, they say "so why should I respect her, she should respect me, am I not her husband?" Sure you are her husband but don't forget that respect is reciprocal, what you give is what you get and to make the home habitable it's important you respect her, and more-so God want's you to respect her. This takes me to the next point 

2. Be Thoughtful of Her
A lot of time, because we are men and husbands we tend to take actions believing that we are in control, well let me say today that it's important that in any decision we take, we should consider the woman, see how it affects her, be careful not to hurt her, deal with her in knowledge, know that every action you take will always bounce back on her directly or indirectly, your decision should have  a "my wife" factor in it, from the least of decision of driving on a high speed which can claim your life to taking up responsibility which will affect your time with your wife.

3. Remember She's Not As Strong as You Are
Lot's of men out there feels if I can do it she should be able to do it, what man can do a woman can do better, please that doesn't give you the gut to over burden her, she cooks the food, dish the food, takes care of the baby, clean the house, wash the cloths, sweep and mop the floor, and then goes to work, comes back then sex time and this continues. You say "that's her responsibility", who says? Please learn to help her do all you could, don't forget she's weaker than you.

4. Want Quick Answer? She Can Make it Happen
One of the ways, you can quickly get those things you want from God is being at peace with your wife or woman, because as much as she's happy, your prayers cannot be hindered, and the only way you make her happy is when you respect her, treat her well, honour her, understand her, and helping her. If you do these things you are fine and things will work for you.

DECLARATION: Lord today, I receive the grace to respect, love, honor, have a thought of my wife (fiance), help me to always please her, let your love grow in me so I can love her the more, forgive me of every ways I have disappointed you God in the ways I have dealt with my wife (fiance) wrongly, thank you because from today my prayers will never again be hindered as I cooperate with her, In Jesus name. Amen.

As you've prayed, God has answered, don't forget what we talked about, you will flourish.

Thank you for reading, your comments mean so much to me.

Regards.

The Lessons

YOU CAN IF YOU BELIEVE

 irrespective of what part of life, is facing you once you believe you can overcome your challenges, problems and difficulties, I am certainly sure you can. 

DON'T LOOK AT THE SIZE OF YOUR PROBLEM

A lot of people look at the size of their problems and difficulties, sorry that's a wrong move, learn to look at the success you want to achieve and not the size of the problem, look at the size of your anticipated success, this will drive you to overcome

DON'T QUIT

Hey! do you think, success is cheep, i bet to disagree with you, it's not cheep and it doesn't come cheep, you must give what it takes to accomplish success, so when the wind of failure comes to blow you, don't quit, remain focused, and then you'll get it.

SIT BACK, ANALYZE AND TRY AGAIN

When it seems you've tried and you are not achieving anything, try sit back relax your nerves, analyze what you are doing wrong, strategize and then try again, though you have tried and so week, just try again, your success is just minus one step.

YOUR SUCCESS IS NOW

Knowing fully well that, the ultimate aim of your striving is to be successful, then have it at the back of your mind that until you have gotten there you are not there, there is so much joy at the end o your struggle, to every tunnel there is a bright light, and for every glory there is a story, so your success is actually now, if you take the next step.

The Heart of God for Worship

John 4:23   But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

The longing in the heart of God is to have men worship him. It is the desire of God that men continually have a close, undeniable, consistent, and unimaginable relationship with him, in essence worship is not just about singing songs of worship and or praise, but more of heart to heart conversation with the father, leaving us with an unforgettable experience.

So worship could now be said to be the longing of the son for the father and in response, the acceptance of the son by the father.

It's so unfortunate today that the reverse is the case, men no longer seek to have a lasting, continuous relationship with the father and as such acceptance from the father becomes bridged and not being easy for the father to accept us though he tried to. The reason is not far fetched, men have continually been distracted from the actual plan of God for his existence, which is relationship. From the books of the bible (Genesis to Revelation), God has always made a conscious effort to make men worship him, but men rather chose to be deceived and distracted from His worship, what a tragedy! this costs us our place with God each time we missed the opportunity.


Its my honest prayer that men quickly realize the reason for his existence and consciously fit himself to God's plan and agenda again.

At this point I must also say that men only fulfill the part of gathering but messed up the part of spirit and truth but rather they worship in flesh and lie. lifting up unholy and unsanctified hands to God.

Genesis  3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

Yes, man lost the opportunity of worship, yet God showed his love by clothing their nakedness. 

Gen  3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

God is actually willing to help us out of this mess, he has an arrangement to bring us back to himself. He promised and He's willing to accomplish this.

Genesis  5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

His continuous desire is we have a long and unstoppable walk with him. How I wish every man understands this and dwell more in his love.

God wanted the Israelites to go worship him, he sent Moses for their deliverance.

Exodus  5:1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

God so much treasure his worship that when Solomon built and dedicated the temple his glory filled everywhere to the extent that no one could gain access into it.

2 Chronicles  5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and w hen they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

This is how much God is willing to commit to His worship, see what the twenty four elders in heaven do, they  will continue to worship God, He loves it and he enjoys it, that's what he wanted, continuous fellowship with Him.


Revelation 4:10   The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying...

Be informed today that his worship is not just come and go, its full of bumper blessing and harvest. As much as you desire you can get from his presence,  let me shock you, you don't even need to ask, he gives at will.

If you've got a problem its an avenue to Get it fixed.

1 Samuel 1:19   And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

Please take some time to rededicate yourself to God and sing some songs of worship to him


It is my desire to honour you, Lord with all my heart I worship you, all I have within me give you praise, all that I adore is in you.

My life is not my own to you I belong I give myself I give myself to you.

I give my self away, I give myself away so you can use me I give myself away

Unto Jesus I surrender unto him I freely give I will ever love and trust him in his presence daily live.

Here I am to worship here I am to bow down, here I am to say that you're my God all together lovely all together worthy all together wonderful to me

Holy holy holy, Lord God Almighty early in the morning my song shall rise to thee, holy holy holy merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

Holy are you Lord all creation call you Lord, worthy is your name we worship your majesty - 2x
Awesome God, how great thou art, you are God mighty are your miracles we're standing up, at your holy name, Lord we bow and worship you.
