SHAKE IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!

Are you going through some sort of Challenges, Obstacles and you feeling it’s going to swallow you? STOP RIGHT THERE!!  I’ve got News for You.                                         I attended HOTR Lagos Push Last Prayer Meeting and Pastor Paul made mention of “DBR”- Death, Burial and Resurrection Process.                                                                                                                           However, see that phase as your death and Burial Phase, You’re coming out of it stronger than you can ever imagine. You might be thinking for how long, this is too much? I understand perfectly well, I’m also in that Phase “DB” and I want to tell you to enjoy the moment while it last, that’s the best you can do for yourself right now. Don’t be discouraged.Perhaps at this Junction, I have a question for you, Yes You! If sugar doesn’t contain sweetness, will an ant be attracted to it? #Hmmmmmm Think about that#                         
                                        You possess greatness in you and that is why there is a “DBR” for you to face.                                     
                                                                                          In the Holy Book, the Israelite were going to be a great nation, God already promised them that. I thought to myself that the promise land should just be staring at them, they shouldn’t be in Egypt at all, rather they should be in Canaan from the start, enjoying the ‘meek and honey’. But oh no! They were in Egypt for……. Years.   #Bible Scholars where are you? # and they had to go through a “DBR” phase before settling down to their Promised Land.In conclusion, we go through different phase to bring out the best in us. You might be thinking for how long….? Engage yourself and stop questioning your maker.

Act NOW!!!!

Hi everybody. It’s been a while since I posted. I’m so sorryyyyyyyy. #Forgiven?# Thanks.*Smiling*

  

I’m sure many of us are familiar with the story of the Pied Piper of Hameln.  

                                

          

In the year 1284 a mysterious man appeared in Hameln. He was wearing a coat of many colored, bright cloth, for which reason he was called the Pied Piper. He claimed to be a ratcatcher, and he promised that for a certain sum that he would rid the city of all mice and rats. The citizens struck a deal, promising him a certain price. The ratcatcher then took a small fife from his pocket and began to blow on it. Rats and mice immediately came from every house and gathered around him. When he thought that he had them all he led them to the River Weser where he pulled up his clothes and walked into the water. The animals all followed him, fell in, and drowned.

Now that the citizens had been freed of their plague, they regreted having promised so much money, and, using all kinds of excuses, they refused to pay him. Finally he went away, bitter and angry. He returned on June 26, Saint John's and Saint Paul's Day, early in the morning at seven o'clock (others say it was at noon), now dressed in a hunter's costume, with a dreadful look on his face and wearing a strange red hat. He sounded his fife in the streets, but this time it wasn't rats and mice that came to him, but rather children: a great number of boys and girls from their fourth year on. Among them was the mayor's grown daughter. The swarm followed him, and he led them into a mountain, where he disappeared with them.

All this was seen by a babysitter who, carrying a child in her arms, had followed them from a distance, but had then turned around and carried the news back to the town. The anxious parents ran in droves to the town gates seeking their children. The mothers cried out and sobbed pitifully. Within the hour messengers were sent everywhere by water and by land inquiring if the children -- or any of them -- had been seen, but it was all for naught. In total, one hundred thirty were lost. 

Curled from: http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/hameln.html

The musical instrument used by the Pied Piper was a flute. Music is a spirit (I hear someone saying to me, yeah! Bukola). Music connect us (Mind) to different spirit based on the content, genre etc. Most people that want to worship God will most likely listen to Don Moen, Solemn song. The spirit of Carnality, Adultery, and Idolatry are launched out through various medium and music is part of it. #Enough Bukola, I’m not #preaching…. #

                                

                                  

However, I see #Purpose, Ones Calling as a Spirit also. We need to activate our callings to planet earth urgently and reach out to lives, souls and people that we are destined to help. Let play our FLUTE (purpose, vision, ideas and inventions ….)

 Act NOW!!!!!!!!!!

                                         

I hear someone saying “hmmmmm Bukola, I cannot act on my idea, I need a,b,c,……………” Play that flute of yours and every other things that you think you need will surface.

This is a clarion call to anyone who is still keeping his/her idea in a “Typed Sheet of papers” to act on it NOW.

                                     

Start small, Think GLOBALLY. Start Small, continually work on your skills, groom yourself and Tidahs!!!!!!!! You are Impacting, Touching Lives Positively.

                                      

In a bit to reach out to more audience, I created a page on You Tube. I will post the link to you very soon. I’m having issues to upload the podcast. #Internet#  # dancing#

I LOVE YOUR GUT!!!!!!

         Have you ever seen a cow cross the road?

                                 

 I experienced it last week on my way home and I learnt a lot from the Scene. I love sharing thought that inspires me and also stretch me.  Herdsmen were crossing the road with their cattle. The cattle did not stop for the cars to pass, rather the cars on the high way stopped for the cattle.

The cattle were fearless, courageous and were so focused that incoming cars could not stop them.

However, the same scenario happened during my Youth Service but with different animal. A goat was about to cross the road and as soon as the goat heard the horns from cars, he ran fearlessly. The cars never waited rather the goat had to run for his life.

……….#Similar situation, #Different #Animals.

# Lessons learnt

                                        

Ø A lot of things will happen in life to shake you, do not get move. Press on and be Focus.

          

Ø On your way to fulfillment, a lot of distraction may pop-up, it takes a “fearless cow” inside you to ignore the distraction

          

           

Ø When you are convinced about the idea, vision God gave you. Run with it, develop yourself, and do not get intimidated at your present state.

                       

Moreover, have you ever thought about this before?  … Seeds do not germinate the first day you plant it. It takes a whole lot of effort from YOU.

  

Kindly share, publish on your facebook page, blogs if you were really blessed, comment on this post, I really need your feed backs.

LITTLE THINGS COUNT

                                                                                                                                                                              

Happy New month………………… A blank new month, we all need to fill our priorities into each of the days and weeks of this month in other to make it a fulfilling month.

 I am so excited to be sharing this with you, my first post for this month. The title is not new to every one of us. I will be sharing something different.

I enrolled into a music school with the sole aim of learning two musical instruments. I wanted to learn how to play drum and guitar. I wanted to learn how to drum because my church does not have a good drummer; the former drummer was transferred to another parish. I felt the present drummer was not good enough and I could equally learn how to drum.

However, I underestimated the guy that rescued my church from allowing our worship services to be “drum less” whenever the choir ministers.
My first class was Introductory, I needed to know the names of the drums to make it a set, it uses and what each drums does. The next class was an eye-opener to the world of drumming. I must say that it was not easy; I had pains all over my joints after the end of the class.

 Drumming is way more technical than I imagined. It has to do with the mind, body, eye coordination and movement.

Moreover, I am sure someone reading this might be saying it is not only drumming that is technical; we have so many stuffs that are more technical than drumming. That is my point, we under rates some jobs, activities, skills and think it is very easy, some might be anyways.

                             
                                    

I believe that we should respect every one that is skillful in diverse fields,respect people for what they are doing. After my experience, I respected the guy that drums in my church so much in respective of the way he drums. Little drops of water makes a mighty ocean is the way I see every skills, talent we all posses, we can cultivate it to be a river, stream or OCEAN. It depends on what we want.

                                                       

I love YOUTHS, I seek to reach out to every youth under the age group (9-25) in rural communities, to develop, groom and coach them in finding road maps in fulfilling purpose,

 Love you all. Kindly comments, Share with love ones and friends. Gracias.

IT'S NOT REALLY A WASTE

             
                                                         
Hi every one, its a new year promised to be great for every one.

It's another time to Inspire You.

I am sure that what we regard as waste could just be an asset to some on else. I was inspired when  I watched the documentary of the people of Cautera and  I felt that I needed to share it with you. Yes you.
I needed to check Webster definition of waste and it defines waste as a material that is left over or unwanted after something has been made.
However, the resident of Cateura, Paraguay lives in a community that is filled with trash. It's every where.... in its streets, rivers, people's backyard. Garbage is the only crop in Cautera and the harvest last 12 month a year. The occupation in Cautera is trash picking, they sift through the stench 24 hours a day, scrounging for anything they can sell. 10 cents for a pound of plastic, five cents for a pound of cardboard.
                                            
However, the amazing thing about the cauteras' is that they recycled this trash to form several musical instrument . The idea was birthed from an enviromental technician who visited the community and saw kids working and playing on what he called " miserable hill". Favio Chavez , the enviromental technician came up with the idea of starting music school to lift the kids lives out of the trash. He realised that he could not raise money to buy musical instrument rather , he made use of old drain pipes, coins, bottle caps, x-rays plate, dessert tins and many more and he transformed them to musical instrument like saxophones, trumpets,guitars, drums and many more instruments.
In conclusion,. the question for us all including me is the amount our "WASTE WORTH"? let make the best use of every thing we have before we tag it as WASTE. ( attend workshops, conferences and read motivational books this year)
 Thanks for taking out time to read this. Share and repost . Commment below if you enjoyed this write up. You can follow this blog because it promises to Inspire you .

HAPPY NEW YOU/ HAPPY NEW YEAR. Love you alll.
