MY DAD COULDN'T READ BIBLE AGAIN

3 years before my father died, I visited to greet him & we were gisting. I knew it has been long he read his Bible last because of old age and the dimness of his eyes.

I carried his big Bible for him and gave him his glasses. He tried reading it, but he could not see the wordings well. He tried pronouncing those words, but it wasn't coherent as he could not see it well.

Humm. This is a man that read Bible like anything. He taught me the value of the word of God. He told me he read the Bible through Genesis to Revelation 2 times. With that challenge, I have read the Bible through 2 times too and still on the third time. My dad did quotes scriptures off hands. I learnt that value from him too. I memories scriptures and can quote it by God's grace. It is this same man then that old age did not permit him to read the Bible again.

He told me jokingly that, the ones he has read right from his youth age are still in him and they will sustain him now till he would breath his last.

Now, this are the lessons I got from that discussion:-

Friends, you will not always be able to do what you are doing now.

A time will come, you won't be able to hustle again. Hustle now that you still have strength!

A time will come when you might not be able to fast again as a result of old age. Fast now!

A time will come when you will not be able to read the Bible again as a result of old age, read the Bible now that your eyes are still sharp!

Dear couples, a time will come, sex might become less appealing to you and you might not have strength to have sex. Please, have sex now. Improve your sex life. Enjoy sex with your spouse.

A time will come when you might be too old to do much fashion and wear good cloths as a result of old age, please, be fashionable now! Enjoy good clothes now that you still have body to carry it.

A time will come when you might not be able to further your education. Please do so now!

Preacher, a time will come, when you might not be able to preach here and there. You might not be able to attend ministers' conference, seminars and personal retreat as a result of old age, please attend now! Preach the Gospel now! Do your best in the ministry for now!

Friend, a time will come, you might not be able to take care of your parents as they will die one day, why don't you do it now!!!

We all shall not be forever young, forever agile and strong. With old age comes so many limitations and incapacitation. Now that you are still young, do your best! Invest, learn, pray, fast, touch lives, travel wide, evangelize, make friends, enjoy life , be spiritually fit, be beautiful, be handsome and awesome, make money, manage money, multiply money, laugh when you Still have teeth, eat well, live well, do well, dress well, have sex very well (with your spouse) , spend well, exercise well, pray well, etc, so that when your old age comes, and you can no longer do all these, effectively; like my daddy said, the ones you have done in your days of strength and agility will carry you till you breath your last!!!

Remember, " For the night cometh when no man can work" (John 9: 4b)

The Rise and Fall of AfroBeat

L Like any music genre, is influenced by a multitude of factors including cultural shifts, socio-political dynamics, and changes in artistic trends. Afrobeat, a genre that originated in West Africa in the late 1960s and was popularized by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, experienced significant growth and international recognition during its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, Fela Kuti's revolutionary lyrics, infectious rhythms, and fusion of traditional African music with jazz, funk, and highlife elements resonated with audiences around the world. Afrobeat became not only a genre of music but also a symbol of resistance against oppression and a platform for social and political commentary. However, Afrobeat's popularity waned in the following decades due to various factors. One significant factor was Fela Kuti's death in 1997, which marked the end of an era and led to a decline in mainstream attention towards Afrobeat. Additionally, the rise of other music genres a...

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to; 2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes. 3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. 4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem; 5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public; 6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time; 7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you....

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...

TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

1. Once upon a time I met a man who told me that telling the truth and making someone cry, is better than telling a lie and making someone smile and happy. 2. He said to me your true friends are those who will never avoid you just because they have met new friends. 3. As he kept on speaking to me, he said If some people do not appreciate and value my presence, I should work hard to make them value and appreciate my absence. 4. He said I must not be angry with anyone who is quiet on me because there must be a reason why they are quiet, and that I will get to know the reason later. 5. He told me it is always better to be a blessing to others at all times than to be a burden at all times. 6. He said I must learn to forgive others not because they deserve it but because I deserve the peace that comes with forgiveness. 7. I must know that everyone deserves a second chance and many more chances if they ask for forgiveness, but I must not loose my guard over their intentions....
