You need to learn how to be silent then do what you are good in doing
I tell you if you are doing a good thing you won't have to tell pple before they start talking about you everywhere
Some will want to be like you
Some will want to be your best friend, husband, wife, like you, etc
And same way it goes if you are negative
Just that the rumor will be very poor
Cause some will hate you
And some that are like you ll want to walk with you, and some will never want you to change cause they don't want you to have a positive life
Mmmmm just pray you choose the best in life

*UNITY ALL I PREACH*

The heart was made to be broken irrespective of our beliefs, cultures, traditions, and academic differences. Our heart is our temple ,the philosophy of our heart is kindness nevertheless, unity is the basis of kindness. Are we all kind or united? Obviously, everyone will say we are all because we belong to the same ethnic group or religion or we share common traditions what about those that do not share our ideas must we neglect them !, however Unity does not have interest in segregation, your group , religion, department, faculty, colour academic differences whatever .Unity is so important in building the city, society of our dream Malcolm X said "we need more light about each other , light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience and patience creates Unity". Are you tired of what you are with? You don't have to because there is always light at the end of tunnel all because patience creates unity be still.
If we don't live together as brothers we will perish together as fools, if we have peace which is brother to unity segregation will not come to our thinking , we won't be against others belief. The number one problem that keeps people from winning and creating the society of their dream is lack of belief in others traditions, leadership thinking theirs is the best , which ought not to be. Bertrand Russell said " I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong " this quote could be interpreted as I will never go against other people irrespective of their beliefs instead, I will see them as my brothers and sisters for the utilization of human and natural resources.
It's high time we started changing our motives by motivating ourselves through the motivation that truly and really motivate. We must be united if we don't want to loose it all, Bono said " To be one, to be united is a great thing but to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater" He said it all, we are projecting the future and the future is now we should not allow our so called leaders in our groups to lead us astray in going against what is wright all because of their vested interest. We must stand and respect the right of individual differences. If we don't look straight at the aftermath of our decision it could affect us remember Adolf Hi**er he never thought of the aftermath of his decision in other words, he never put consequence of disunity into consideration and he faced the consequence . It is a man that makes truth great not truth that makes man great (Confucius) the truth is UNITED WE STAND; DIVIDED WILL FALL. LET'S UNITE.

Simplicity is life.

Mark Zuckerberg is worth $54.1 Billion Dollars. Yesterday, this Jew came to my country unannounced. No pomp. No pageantry. No fanfare. He was in a simple T-shirt and jeans.

It got more interesting. This Billion dollars American-born Jewish Asset walked on the ever humble Yaba road in Lagos without security escorts just like any ordinary indigent (poor) resident of Lagos would. When I saw the pictures, you could literally walk pass Zuckerberg on the street of Yaba yesterday without even realising that it was this American-born Jewish Asset that walked pass you. The very face of Facebook.

Nothing about him yesterday distinguished him from ordinary mortals on the street, save his skin colour and his name.

This man is not even a Christian. Yet yesterday he couldn't be more Christlike.

Here in Nigeria, my elected leaders cannot carry even their own bags. Mere mortals must carry their handsets while they strut along like demigods.

The worst are the so-called Ambassadors of Jesus Christ on Earth. Pastors and Televangelists who do not have a quarter of Zuckerberg's net worth live like gods among mortals. High powered security detail, protocol officers and their minions are ALWAYS around them to make sure they don't sneeze or cough unattended.

I have always wondered why men of God cannot carry their own Bibles. Why someone has to carry it for them. Even their handsets. Why men of God have special (and sometimes elevated) Seats in Churches. Why mere mortals cannot get close to them without encountering resistance from protocol and security officials in well tailored Italian Suits. Folks, the truth is bitter but it must be said:

These men do NOT represent Christ. They represent the Establishment. A Jew like Jesus proved that yesterday on the street of Lagos, Nigeria.

When I pastored a Campus Church I hated people carrying my personal belongings for me in the name of "pastoral honour". I just didn't like it even though I saw many of my pastor colleagues enjoying it. Man-worship starts like that, and then gradually these men begin to get false impressions about themselves. It is good to honour people, but many things we do in the name of Christ today are simply off.

Greatness is simplicity, and simplicity is greatness. Noise is proof that you are empty on the inside. Or that you feed on the emptiness of others. Both is bad.

Jews have always impressed me since Abraham. Fortunately, Jesus was a Jew. Not a Nigerian Politician or Pastor.

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His
resurrection? I never noticed this....
The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin,
which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just
thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes
an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly
folded, and was placed separate from the grave
clothes.
Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary
Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the
stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She
ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple,
the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken
the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know
where they have put him!' Peter and the other
disciple ran to the tomb to see.. The other disciple
outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and
looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he
didn't go in.
Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also
noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the
cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and
lying to the side.
Was that important? Absolutely!
Is it really significant? Yes!
In order to understand the significance of the folded
napkin, you have to understand a little bit about
Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had
to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish
boy knew this tradition.
When the servant set the dinner table for the master,
he made sure that it was exactly the way the master
wanted it..
The table was furnished perfectly, and then the
servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master
had finished eating, and the servant would not dare
touch that table, until the master was finished. Now,
if the master were done eating, he would rise from
the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his
beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto
the table.
The servant would then know to clear the table. For in
those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'.
But if the master got up from the table, and folded
his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant
would not dare touch the table,
because........... The folded napkin meant,
'I'm coming back!'
HE'S COMING BACK!!!!
