About Me

My photo
My life is my life and I will not trade it for anything except Christ, even saying that I still ask for strength on a daily basis to live by it. Life itself is a roller coaster with fluctuating emotions such as pain, agony, victory, defeat, so on and so forth. However, I believe it is the uncertain situations in life that shape us into the individuals we are today and are to become. Basically, what I am trying to say is, your past can shape and influence the future in a major way. My real name in translation means “Born in Wealth.” I was born in Lagos, Nigeria in the year of the Dragon and as far as I can remember, it’s been a bumpy ride. Growing up in Nigeria was intense and a bit tedious, for lack of better words. It is a “No padi for jungle” time zone, with the motto of “Shine your eye,” which pretty much adds up to "every man for himself." It is a place where everyone wants to go to heaven, however, no one wants to die to get there. Growing up as a child, I learned a lot through folktales and such. I remember sitting by the burning firewood at night listening to my grandmother's stories of enlightenment. These stories had morals that shaped my thinking and mentality today.

A short Prayer







Father thank you for this day
Thank you for my life & my wife
Thank you for your Son Jesus Christ
Thank you for another opportunity …
To be a blessing to others in need
And to satisfy their curiosity
Thank you for allowing me to be an example through my lifestyle
And meanwhile …
Thank you for my unborn child

The Great Commission





The word disciple means a learner or a student.

Being a disciple or a learner comes with a few responsibilities, two of which I will attempt to explain.

First, being a disciple entails a life of sacrifice, from which we are to learn and become equipped to obey and follow God’s lead.

When we come to Christ the first thing we are asked to do is admit to our mistakes—a nice euphemism for sin—ask for forgiveness and sin no more. In other words, are asked to be holy.

Being holy, however, is generally very costly; in other words, following Christ or bierng obedient to our heavenly Father isn’t easy.

In Luke 9:57-62, Jesus provides three examples of what we may have to sacrifice in order to follow Him: (NKJV)

57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”
But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
61 And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

1.    Verse 58: We must be prepared for possible homelessness, hunger, nakedness and most certainly we can count on losing sleep, being tired and being weary.

2.    Verse 59-60: We can also expect to miss out on some important events, and will probably end up disappointing family when we have to choose doing God’s work over some other family/personal engagement.

3.    Verse 61-62: You may also lose some friends and family members along the way. Once you chose Christ, there is no looking back.

These things are not new requirements to be holy. They’ve actually been I place since God created man … mind you, it became a much harder after the fall in the Garden of Eden. God has always made it clear to us what His expectations are for us and what His standard of holiness is.

Wow … that’s Life





Wow … I can’t believe how it turned out
How I was not being treated fair,
 I’m so stressed I feel like pulling out my hair
I was deprived of my full share & yeah … That’s life

I mean, I treat others with Love & respect
What the heck, I can’t stop being upset
Everything is going wrong
I know you are tired of hearing my sad songs
But yeah … that’s life

Would you imagine the nerve of those hypocrites?
I give to the needy & I help my neighbors
I gave but they did not return the favour
I have been mentally & emotional abused but, yeah that’s life

They say life is a box of chocolate, I’ll add with a rattle snake inside
I close my eyes & realize I need to stand up for myself
The pity parties need to stop, so I stand!
However no one is looking or listening
Wow... That’s life

Mama raised no fool, hard knock university I went to school
Studied like crazy but still could not fit in
I bought my friends with Material things but then …
They were gone with the wind & yeah, 
that’s life

But when I thought all hope was lost, coz I was lost!
I met someone who died for me to save me, He paid the cost
Unconditionally loved me, putting me first on His agenda
Through Him, I went from a Sinner to a winner
Wow … that is LIFE
