DON’T DREAM OR WISH JUST PRAY

DREAM

This is a very common word in the English dictionary, which people make use of every single day. According to John Dryden, dreams are imaginary events seen in the mind while sleeping. It can also be described as a visionary scheme; a wild conceit; an idle fancy. We can also describe dreams as what we hope for.

These days you hear lot of people dreaming of things, job, money, and life. This type of dream is not the one John Dryden was talking about, but the one I call fantasy. A teenager/youth will tell you his or her dream is to become a Doctor, Engineer, accountant, lawyer, psychologist and name all the good job in life.

WISH

According to Wiktionary a wish is a desire, hope or longing for something or for something to happen. It can also be described as the process of expressing or thinking about such a desire etc. (often connected with ideas of magic and supernatural powers). It seems the word Wish and Dream have something in common. They can be both describing a single word “HOPE”.

The word wish is commonly used in birthday parties. It gets to the time the celebrant wants to cut the cake, they tell him or her to close eyes, makes a wish, and turn off the candles. Ask anyone to make a wish; you hear them pour out their heart desires or things which he or she has been seeking for in years. I wish I had a girl friend like Nicki Minaj, I wish I had $3.5millon dollars in my bank account, I wish I could sing like Chris Brow, I wish I could have a party like the one Jackso Derulo had in wiggle. I wish I had this, I wish I could be that, I wish I was there.

But what you dream to be or become and thing you wish for, there are people already there, and guess, those there are also dreaming and wishing to be bigger, higher and better. I am not saying if you have a dream of becoming a Doctor you should quite. No, all I telling you is to stop dreaming or wishing to be, or become someone.

PRAY

Let say you are a Christian, Muslim or someone who believes in miracles, I will advise you to stop dreaming or wising just pray. You do believe there is someone up there who hears your prayers? You believe He has eyes he can see whatever you are passing through. You call him your creator, He knows the future, and He knows what is best for you? Then why telling him what to do?

I have come to study life to an extent, that I don’t dream nor wish for things, I ask for and I always grant permission before I take. I know this is going to confuse you, but I will explain. When I make prayer request, I always add something “God please make it a possibility if you know it’s best for me”.

Have you ever imagine why you have never had hundreds of thousands of dollars in your bank account? Or perhaps why your father could never buy a car? If no, I will advice you to put something’s into consideration. Imagine you have $300.000 dollars in your bank account and it was only meet to be spent by you, what would you use it for? Have you ever imagined if your father had cars and gave you one as your birthday gift, you would have ride to your death? No, you never thought of it. I am trying to say having millions of dollars and good cars in your position is bad. But the bad thing is how it would have affected you.

Maybe God saw that if you would be that you dreamt of, it will wrongly affect you that is why He is giving you what He knows is best for you. I have come to study God so much, that when He sees you too desperate to get anything, He gives.

That is why you hear stories like, the man just bought his first car last week and got an accident with it yesterday, and he died. In Africa where I came from, Nigeria precisely they will tell you the enemies it at work (black magic). Mr. Gabriel got a contract of $500.000 dollars yesterday morning and he got a heart attack last night. The heart attack was not because he was spiritually attacked, but because he was thinking of how and where to secure the money from harmed rubbers, kidnaper or fraud.

These are the things God is trying to secure you from, but you are just too carried away to see them. Maybe God wants you to be the best of what He knows is best for you these are why your fantasy dreams and wishes are not coming true. Note; everything has its own set time, if you where meet to be what you dreamt or wish to become, it is just a matter of time and hard work. So I will advice stop dreaming or wishing, just pray.

MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MARRIAGE

Uncle Etuk grinned when he saw his daughter, Idara and the husband Ime walked into the house. The old man, was on one of his rare visits to his daughter and in-law. He had to succumb after several pleas from his in-law to move from the confines of Mkpat Enin to Uyo to spend the Easter Holidays. This his in-law believed he needed to comfort the old man from loneliness after his wife’s demise three months ago. After dinner that evening, he whispered to his son in law that if they don’t mind, he would love to have a quick word with the couple after the children have gone to bed. By 9pm, the couple was back to the dinner table to hear what the old man had to say. He started by asking them a simple question “What is the most important thing in your life Idara? She replied, “Daddy, it is the kids, they mean everything to me”. He then turned and asked Ime, the son in law the same question, he also beaming with pride said: "it is the kids of course; they are the reason why ...

THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN

When a woman marries a man because of money and physical beauty and a man marries a woman because of beauty, forgotten that Is better with Idea woman and man and have peace at home . Although handsome men and beautiful ladies is very good, but let it not be because of the outside beauty alone but inside beauty as well because that is what made you who u really are, because someone like me I always cherish beautiful children with good character, God made men and women physically beautiful so that men will appreciate his hand work and give glory to him, the beauty God gave us is not what makes us wrong man and woman, it is our decisions, our attitudes, our lifestyles, our believes, if a man decide to follow the ways of God and fear him God will beautify him and distinguish him from others and if a woman decided to use her beauty, her body to serve God, God will make her a virtuous woman blessed among others, the problems many women have is that they don't know the blessedness of b...

YOUR WIFE IS YOUR LIFE PARTNER NOT LIFE SERVANT

I cringed today when a man said if his wife does something he ‘commands’ her not to do, he'd send her out of his house back to her parents; that it's very wrong for a woman to disobey her husband no matter what. Well, I couldn't hold my chill, I opposed him passionately and he resorted to calling me a kid; “You won't understand till you get married.” That's always how they sound. Very manipulative old folks. Please single guys, when you wanna get married, just remind yourself that the woman you're getting married to will be your life partner, not your servant. You ain't doing her a favor by getting married to her, so don't ever feel that sending her back to her parents means she'll die or lose her womanhood. Your wife is not your errand girl, she's like a colleague and she's important like you in that marriage, so you don't command her to do things, you don't just give orders, No! Both of you are to reach a stand...

THINGS THAT TURN ON WOMEN

For many women, their turn-on aren’t just about a man’s looks, independence and sense of humor there are some unpredictable things that turn them on as well. So what are some of those other qualities that women find so attractive? Find out here. 1. The Color Red: - Men garbed in red are proven to attract more attention from women because the color is an attention getter. The color red is also viewed as a dominant color that indicates power and masculinity, and prolonged viewing of the color causes the female body to increase adrenaline secretion and raise blood pressure. 2. Sweat And Body Odor: - Contrary to popular belief, not all women like the smell of a guy covered in cologne. Some women like the natural smell of a man, just the way he is. Studies show that Androstadienone, a chemical compound found in male sweat, increases blood pressure, boosts hormone levels and raises the rate of breathing in women (Don’t abandon showers though!) 3. A Deep Voice: - ...

MARITAL EXPECTANCY OF MEN

One of the most significant sources of stress in marriage is tied to expectations. When expectations are unclear, unhealthy, unspoken or unmet , one or both spouses can start to feel neglected, inadequate and/or frustrated with the marriage. I’m convinced many (if not most) divorces come back to expectations. When a man and woman first start out together in marriage, both of them are carrying unspoken expectations. They each have a vision of what the home life will be. They have separate ideas of what their sex life will be. They have different dreams for what their future family will be. They also have different expectations for what the each of their responsibilities should be. These different expectations are rarely communicated out loud because most newlyweds naively believe that they are so in sync with their spouse that the unspoken expectations are exactly the same. This is never the case. Two different individuals with two different personalities coming from two diff...
