Your purpose - you don't know. Your Talent - you can't harness.  Your potential - you can't maximize. Money - you can't manage. Office department - you can't manage Business - you can't start. Ministry - you can't start. The only thing you can do well is to start a boy and girl relationship. It is time you start asking yourself some serious life questions. Ask someone for help today. Your pastor, mentor, senior friends, sensible and 'successful' friends etc. Parents. Read books, do something about your life.Don't wait till tomorrow. ASK FOR HELP TODAY!

In our third article in this series, we saw some NATURAL reasons why people get trapped by debt. I emphasized the truth that life sometimes throws some curve balls at us and our inability to catch the balls sends us and our finances the wrong way into debt. I also want to be clear on it that some life events could be so hard that it could wipe off all we have ever tried to gather. But my point is this, it is better to have an initial financial backup to confront the attack first. If there comes any reason why further financial resources that are above your capacity will be required, you can then source for help from other sources like friends and family, associations, etc (But by then, it would have been clear to all that you didn’t go down without a fight).  And there are proven principles that are guaranteed to guide just anyone who cares to build a financial backup. Understand the laws that guide money. “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6. “...and ...

Come to think of it. How would you feel getting to the end of your life only to discover that you did not fully maximize the potentials that God put inside you? At that point, your excuses won’t matter because you would see ways you could have circumnavigated every ‘limitation’ you had. Don’t wait to get to that point. Throw all your excuses into the trash can and stretch yourself. Even if the future is looking bleak,  ...you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards...  You won’t know how strong, tenacious, mentally alert, patient, humble, skillful, intelligence, assertive, wise, and coordinated etc, you could be until you begin to stretch yourself beyond your present capacity. Believe me, you have more potentials in you that you could ever imagine. You have it all in you. All you need is just to give yourself an opportunity to become a better you. Therefore, Take that risk today, Make that call, Read ...

In our Last article , I talked about ways to start your journey to becoming debt free. Those steps majorly deal with our general disposition to debt. How you see a thing plays a huge role in how you relate with it. You can never be debt free as an individual until you see debt for what it truly is. Here, we will be looking at how to get out if you ever find yourself in debt, no matter how deep. You can actually come out from any debt bond you find yourself in but there are things you have to do. So let us get down to them. 1.) Have a clear statement of your assets and liabilities: I mentioned something similar to this in the last  article , but from another angle. See what Prov 27:23 says "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks..." You must be able to state clearly what you own and owe, channels through which money comes to and goes from you. How regular you get money and spend money, i.e daily, weekly or monthly should not be left out. You must be able to...

Debt feels like a lead weight that hangs around your neck. See previous articles here . Freedom from it is an important and a very useful goal to pursue. No matter the amount you owe, it’s possible to finish paying up and be debt free. Getting out of debt is not always an easy ride, but it’s doable, and many people under worse conditions have done it. The truth still remains that you must not be in debt to enjoy the best of life, NO! You mustn’t! Freedom is a better option. God never set us free in so many other areas, so that we could stay as slaves in the area of debt. Enough of gist, these steps will help you to start off in your journey to becoming debt free and in dealing with debt squarely. 1) Decide to Live a debt free life. It all starts with a decision, going to school, getting married, giving your life to Christ, borrowing, becoming debt free etc. Life is all about decisions. You are the one who is totally responsible for your life and actions. Where you are tod...

I turned on the tap a bit at first, NO WATER! I opened it up more, yet no water. I turned it on to the last point and surprisingly, NO WATER.  WHAT! “This Monday morning! What was I going to do”? I needed water seriously. “Water no dey” Mr Ibom said, Ahh! “E don happen, how do I get water now” I said in my heart. “That one mean say na later in the day them go bring am come” I asked him even though I knew the answer. I got an emphatic YES! I dejectedly walked back to my office with the assumption that there was no water anywhere in the whole yard which automatically meant that I would have to wait for nothing less than five(5) hours before getting water. 30 minutes later... I left everything I was doing, picked up my container and dashed out of my office, with a determination to check other taps that supplied water in the compound. Walking briskly towards the direction I was headed, I took a quick glance at the ground below the tap I visited earlier on, there ...

Universities/Polytechnics degrees were not created to guarantee you a job.Having a degree never has, and never will, guarantee you a job. A degree is proof you wanted to learn, can learn and will keep learning. It should show your mind has been stretched and twisted, contradicted and challenged, moulded and remoulded . Do you have a degree? More importantly, did you learn anything while pursuing the degree? Then use it to solve the problems around you and you automatically have a job. That sure didn't sound like rocket science, or did it?
