RELATIONSHIP; Be Careful

RELATIONSHIP; Be Careful. By Oguntolu Oluwafemi.

Meeting a new friend is like getting a beautifully wrapped gift. One is usually tempted to think that they are better than the friends we had. We spend a lot of time exploring them. We are so excited about our new obsession that our old friends slip from our hands. Even when we see them slipping out of our hands,we don't care cos we are blinded by our new adventure. We flirt with our new gift and lose sight of our proven and tested relationships. Due to the deceit of the wrapper,we realize after spending so much time and emotional strength on our newly found obsession, that they are not as good as our time tested relationships. We then begin to look for our neglected gifts. Unfortunately, they usually ain't where we lost them.
As much as a person should not hesitate to withdraw from a relationship that is no more valid,one should be careful of diving into a new one carelessly. Be careful how you treat your time tested relationships. David said concerning Saul's armour "I have not tried it". He stuck to his old stuff and they didn't fail him.

God's Got You

I was on a trip recently and we drove into a difficult terrain. The driver did well by maneuvering the terrain well and got us safely out of it. However, during this drifting, I doubted his professionalism to get us out safely, in fact I panicked, I gave my opinions and advise based on my experience of driving. Unfortunately, my driver will do the opposite, stating reasons why my counsel will not work and truthfully, his judgement always proves to be right and at the end he drove us safely to our destination. This experience got me to think of how many times we have given God our thoughts and advice on what he should do or should have done. We tell him the direction we feel is right for us to go and at times drag the steering with Him. God is to be trusted. The moment you make him the driver of your life, you can trust him to take you safely to a glorious destination. The terrain may be difficult, He might drive you through surprising and difficult places, just hold on and trust him. H...

House of Leaders or Warlords

As I ruminate on the ugly incidences that bewildered Benue House of assembly and the House of Representatives this outgoing week where law makers engaged in a free for all, I nodded my head in utmost dismay of what has become of the people we chose to lead us and make laws for us. This is not the first time we will be seeing something of such but every time it occurs it leaves a negative impression of incompetence, immaturity, clueless and law-less law makers on the heart of Nigerians and people all over the world watching. I'm not a political analyst neither do I want to become one but i'm an advocate of good 'leaders-in-a-ship' and I believe that what the nation deserves at this time is a way forward from where we are not engaging in blow throwing and cloth tearing. Leadership is not by occupying position, that is, you are not a leader by being in an office or by holding a post. Leadership is all about influence. Its all about the ability to transform a vi...
