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.

Season of Giving



                                                                     
It is more blessed to give than to receive
Discover the joy of giving your time & believe
Give with grace because you want to
Voluntarily give like no one forced you
Take a leap of faith if it feels uncharted
Be generous, open handed & big hearted
In time of need be loving & charitable
Be eager to assist & always be helpful
Give sacrificially for the Lord’s work
Be there for those who lack & hurt
Give regardless of poverty or great trials
If you are selfish, no need to be in denial
Just give & it shall be given to you …
Because it will be measured back to you
Give yourself to God & then your resources
Selfishness & greed are from the dark forces
Give …
