MOVE WITH THE STIR The completeness of a soup is in its stirring.The stirring of the soup was not meant to scatter its formations, but instead to unify and strengthen them, bringing the best out of the soup.I imagine the turbulence that occurs in the pot during the exercise of stirring.I imagine how inconvenient it was for the maggi who had settled in a corner down below the pot when the stirring movement of the stirrer hit it and displaced out of its comfort zone.I imagine the discomfort caused the salt as it was pushed about and around by the stirrer. But little did they know that the ‘turbulence’ in this pot of life was not meant to destabilize them but to launch them fully into their worlds that the taster (Life) may have a feel of their savour and flavour beyond their point of rest and comfort.As it is with the pot of soup, so it is with the pot of life. The turbulence of life at the moment (if you think this wise) will not unsettle you, but rather assist you to move from where you are to where you are needed. Like the seasoning was not just needed at the bottom of the pot but all around it, so are you also not just needed only where you are at the moment. MOVE!!!Be patient, prayerful, and practical. The beautiful thing about life, living it, and getting the best out of it occurs when a movement, a force, a circumstance or intentional decision causes a man to move unto a displacement from where he is, to where he ought to be. Far better still; where he is needed, wanted and expected to be.YOU ARE OF MORE VALUE WHERE YOU ARE NEEDED THAN WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.DARE TO MOVE!WHEN LIFE STIRS, DARE TO MOVEAND WHEN YOU MOVE, MOVE UP, SPREAD AROUND.Life, enemies, and their challenges, like in the case of the boy named Joseph in the Holy Book (Bible), can only cause a turbulence that will cause you to move and move until you have moved into the right position and location to fulfil God’s own purpose for placing you in life’s pot.Akogun Olalekan (C) 2012.

WHAT MONEY WON’T…?

Money won’t buy you appetite, the best it can do is buy you food.Money won’t buy you protection, the best it can do is get you security.Money will get you the best of phones, but can’t get you the voice to speak into them.Money can buy you noiselessness, but it can't  buy you peace.Money can get you a doctor, but it can’t get you healing.Money can get you clothes forever, but it can’t cover your shame forever.Money has got its own limit, this fact many refuse to acknowledge and it has brought them massive shame and embarrassment.The saying is true “Everyman has got a price, but not everything that is called a price answers to money”.For what is food without appetite?For what is security without safety?For importance is silence without peace?Money will get you a very robust public image, but cannot change that tiny thing in your private life.Money will buy you happiness, but the price of joy is far beyond its reach.Money will buy you the Bible, but not the salvation therein.Money

ALWAYS WITH YOU

See, I'm always with you Stretching my hands like i'll do to any you It bleeds my heart that you don't see me you Even as much as i try to be here with you. (Pause)... I'm always with you Travelling as much as many distance with you Searching for me while I'm right here with you You're so much distressed that you don't feel me you. (Pause)... Engrossed in your search So the much that you've searched in me through But still you think that i'm NO WHERE near you Its only your thought cos I'm NOW HERE with you. (Pause)... I'll be here for you Hoping you'll find me PALPABLE That you may know that I'm CAPABLE And can make your impossibles POSSIBLE. Akogun Olalekan(c)2010.

THE EVE MENTALITY

Call it a syndrome and you won't be wrong. Call it a disease and you're not far from it. Call it a helpless mentality,and i'll say you're there. Adam i want this, Adam i want that. Adam i've taken this, Adam i've taken that. Adam see this, won't you take a bite? Adam!, don't just sit there and watch, this is really pleasant. ..........WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF EVE,ALWAYS AT THE COMMAND OF HER EYES. When it say here, she moves here, when it says there, she's there already. SHE'S ENSLAVED TO HER EYES...........Listen as i quote THE BOOK; "And the woman STARED at the fruit (Gen 3:6 CEV)" "And when the woman SAW that the tree was good for food (Gen 3:6 KJV)" Are you still there? Untill the gazing, staring thing came to play, she wasn't decieved (i mean untill her eyes nailed her, she couldn't be nailed). EVE is strong, but only when her 'eyes are shut'. EVE desires whatever looks pleasant even if it&

ADAM MENTALITY

God: Adam,give me 3-reasons why the world is round. Adam: Well the garden says so, Eve says so, and you also say so. THIS IS ADAM,YOU'LL NEVER CATCH HIM WITH THE 'ME or I', he's never involved,its either God, Eve or Someonelse. He forgot so suddenly that few months ago he exclaimed "This is another me,the bone of my bone" (Gen 2vs 23). But only the first storm raged in the garden before he turned around to bite the fingers that fed him... Saying it was the woman that you gave me.(vs 12) What is it that i turn back the blame to God about... THE ADAM MENTALITY; He's never caught unaware. Always thinks he's got it all under control. Always quick to speak and justify himself. Never takes full responsibility of his actions. Is never repentant(never says i'm sorry) Most terrible of all, BLAMES GOD FOR EVERY OF HIS OWN ERRORS. Now,Shall we all repent and throw away this ADAM MENTALITY,THERE'S A JESUS MENTALITY WE OUGHT TO CARRY ABOUT. ..

A RUSH OUT OF SURGERY

I think am gonna walk away, i've stayed too long under this knife of yours, you know this was not my plan, but you kept urging me, i dont want to stay no more, i mean how long is it gonna take, tell me, how much longer till you done with me!!! Its like am fighting out for my life, yet you hit me with another round, today am glad cos i think you're through and the next, you're out with your knife again, feels like i'm in surgery, still you cut deeper, deeper arghh! than deep. With my eyes widely open, my will you cut away from me, my flesh you disect like bread, you call them all excesses, you know well i love them all, yet you cut them all of me. I've got to get out, but there's this something within, i've been runing from your table, that's why i refuse to pray; But you don't ever get off me, still you keep calling me to the table to work on me. (Tears)... Lord now i am here, please take all you need, i don't care h
What on earth,or underneath it could we say is the matter with a man having a plate of food placed before him by the waiter, but instead of eating,he continues soloquizing; I'M HUNGRY, I'M SO HUNGRY,how do i get food! Hmmn! A problem of sight many 'll say, Fear of his belly, or maybe its just Share mischiveousness many concluded. In anywhichway you may want to see it,i think his major problem is that WORRY has gotten into his head. (worry is being anxious or unhappy about something so that you think about it a lot,and lose yourself). "Which of you by worrying can add a cubit to his height?" so the Bible says in Matt 6 vs 27. Let me put a pause to it on this note,worrying will get no man nowhere,the more your worry,the 'crazier' you become. Ooops! Have i left you without a solution? No, its all there, Matthew 6 vs 25-34 has spoken it all. THAT PROBLEM WAS ON EARTH EVEN BEFORE YOU EXISTED,and you'll surely leave it there again if you die worrying.I
