Stay calm and trust the timing. Life moves in quiet ways, and this season might just shift everything. What’s meant will find its way, and patience will pay off more than pressure ever could.

*In life we need people* but we must not let them replace our personal responsibility. We would learn from people but we must not lean on them. *Entitlement mentality is the killer of greatness.*

Too many people give up on their dreams because they are *too busy living someone else's life.* Your comfort zone is your enemy. It may feel safe but nothing ever grows there. *Do not ever settle for mediocrity.*

*Beware of people with entitlement mentality.* It is one of the reasons people fail in life. Always know that *nobody owes you anything.* Do not allow yourself to be your own worst enemy.

The Lord said, do not face life looking for who to give you. If you know that you are blessed, *it won’t be difficult for you to be a blessing.*

"Honour Your Traditions and Stay Connected to Your Roots" — Fada Oluoma

You proudly belong to every society in your church, yet you avoid attending your village meetings. When asked why, you quickly label them as “unbelievers.” But have you ever considered that the favour you're tirelessly chasing from one church group to another, others have already received through active participation in their village associations?

As a true Christian, you are not called to abandon your roots. You are called to shine your light, even in your community. Not all traditional practices are fe**sh or ungodly. There are cultural traditions that are purely social and meant to promote unity and identity. Take part in your age-grade meetings, join in the new yam festivals (Iri Ji), Iwa Akwa and enjoy masquerade festivals, which are often just a form of cultural entertainment.

Some people will say that masquerades are tied to charms and spiritual powers. That’s mostly false. In fact, 99% of masquerades carry no fe**sh power, those stories were created to instill fear, especially among women and children. Don't let ignorance blind you.

Even Jesus Christ actively participated in Jewish cultural traditions. He never asked us to abandon our own. So, stop listening to overzealous pastors who misinterpret the Bible and turn your mind against your heritage.

Also, stop replacing palm wine with wine, malt, or juice during traditional marriages. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using palm wine as tradition demands. Uphold it with pride.

When you're in a traditional setting, say “Ise” instead of “Amen”, both mean the same thing. “Ise” is Igbo, “Amen” is English.

Finally, never give kola nut to a priest for blessings when an elder is present. In Igbo culture, elders hold spiritual authority in such gatherings.

One of the reasons our society is losing moral discipline, even among our leaders, is because we've abandoned the traditions that once instilled respect, accountability, and communal fear of consequences.

Return to your roots. Know your culture. Live your faith without abandoning your identity.

It was the noise and shouts from the neighborhood that woke me up that morning.

I looked beside me and my wife was nowhere to be found.
I checked the time, and it was 4:32 am.

The noise kept increasing, and I took a little time to listen…
I discovered that some people were actually crying.

I checked the restroom, but my wife was not there.

"Where is this woman?" I muttered to myself before I left for the sitting room.

I was shocked when I saw neighbors and friends in our sitting room mourning, wailing, and crying.

About four women were holding my wife as she kept crying uncontrollably.

"What is going on here?
No one seems to notice my presence." I got furious and shouted at them all, "Can someone explain to me the meaning of all this? What is going on here!"

No one answered…

I looked closely and saw my picture sitting on a table with a book and a pen before it. My heart began to race, and I ran back to the bedroom! I froze as I saw myself lying motionless on the bed!

Is this a dream or death? I ran back to the sitting room to grab my wife. It was then I noticed something most unusual!

My hands went through her as if she was a wind!

I shouted in fear, "Darling, what is going on?!"

No response from her or anyone. The wailing and mourning continued.

I broke down in tears because it now dawned on me that I have departed from this world.
At that realization, I felt a hand on my shoulder… I looked towards the direction and saw a being that words cannot describe. His presence generated some heat around me.

From that moment, I was no longer in control.

"Follow me," he ordered, and I did. We moved with a speed that cannot be described. Our legs were not touching the ground.

The more we went, the more heat I felt. I asked him, "Where are you taking me to, sir?"

His response almost melted my entire being! He said with a tone of finality, "You are going to hell, the eternal home of the enemies of God."

"I am a believer in Christ Jesus," I protested.

"Yesterday, your daughter was pleading for your forgiveness, and you swore never to forgive her.

Your wife was pleading with you in tears to forgive your own daughter, but you said over your dead body.

Have you not read that if you do not forgive men their sins, your Heavenly Father will not forgive you?

"Please, can you give me a chance to go right my wrong?" I pleaded.

"I am afraid it is now too late. The state you enter eternity is the state you remain," he replied.

I shouted, "God! Have mercy on me!!!"

Suddenly, everything and everywhere were still and silent.

I started feeling pains at the back of my head and body.
I heard the voice of my wife from afar shouting, "Jesus, Jesus."

The voice was coming closer to me with time.

Then, I heard my daughter singing a worship song, "No other name like the name of Jesus…"

Suddenly, I felt like I was on a bed and started feeling some hands on my body. I sneezed and opened my eyes!

My wife shouted, "Praise the Lord," but my daughter continued with her worship song. I saw two medical doctors and some nurses.
It was Bedfast Military Hospital.

The doctor smiled at me and said, "You are welcome. We thank God that you finally come around." My wife held me tight, and my daughter knelt down in tears.

"Daddy, I am so sorry for breaking your heart. Forgive me."

I held her hand to my chest and apologized to her for failing her when she needed my love the most as a father. "I am so sorry for letting you down, Jumoke. I too need your forgiveness."
"I forgive you from all of my heart."

For over 30 minutes, I wept without control…

It was in the midst of my tears that I was told how I got to the hospital. I fell down at the bathtub, landed my head on the floor, and passed out.

So, all I saw was a dream, vision, or revelation. I can’t even tell, but I learned a lesson I could not have learned any other way!

My daughter got pregnant four years ago and brought shame to the family and my reputation.

I swore never to forgive her till I die. For four years, she has been pleading, but I refused to listen. She needed my fatherhood desperately at the time, but I denied her.

So, I could have ended my journey in hell. I could have messed up the salvation of my soul because of unforgiveness.
Thank you, Lord, for your mercy. Thank you, Lord, for giving me a chance to make amends.

Thank you, Jesus!

Friends can you take time to ruminate? If you happen to die now, is there anything that will stop you from making heaven?
Settle it now. Sort it out now!
For it is appointed unto men to die once and after that judgment.

"No repentance in the grave. You have only one life".

Forgive your spouse, children, friends, neighbors and colleagues' misdeeds.
God bless you in Jesus name.
*AMEEEEEEEEEN* .🙏

I recommend Christ to you, my friend and brethren...

As we celebrate your birthday, I give thanks to God for placing you too in my life. May your day be filled with joy,
Happy birthday 🎂🎉
