I Will



I will make it. I will go there. I will achieve this. I will do that. I will survive. I will live. These are some of, amongst the many phrases one can say to oneself with great confidence and  most often than not when one confesses to the fact that they WILL, it so happen that they actually do. Theron Dumont once said that you can be if you will to be, for will can find a way or make one. In other words to will to do something is a choice one makes from within. One would either allow the diviner self to control or let the brute within to take hold. (Theron T Dumont)

When one learns to master the art of I WILL, they find out that life can be very simple and pleasant.  It is a journey that requires a lot of concentration in that man has to learn to connect with the mind, body and soul.

In the bible, the book of Romans chapter 12 and verse 2 talks about us  not conforming to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. God requires that we have the will power which is said to be a better asset than money.

I have the power to do and to be whatever I wish to do and be. I WILL!

Amazing Love

Image
Today morning as I was leaving the house for work, my daughter, who had stayed back home from school due to illness, chose to see me off.   Suddenly, we noticed that Sam her pet dog had sneaked out of the house and had ran out of the main gate to the next door neighbor’s house. We could hear him bark from within the compound which could only mean one thing; the neighbor’s gate was open. Every morning, at around six, Sam is let out of the house to go enjoy the fresh morning air before our gardener lets out the birds.   In this short period that Sam is released, his aim is not to enjoy the fresh air like we had purposed for him but to go to the next door neighbor’s gate and tease Mairo. Our neighbor has this gigantic, black and very ugly dog. It is a very scary dog that sits behind the closed gate. However, even though Mairo sits behind the closed gate whenever you pass by that gate you will not fail to experience cold shivers running down your spine. It is this same fierce dog

Traveling

Image
I am one of those people who dread the thought of traveling because when I travel I feel like my way of doing things will be interrupted. For instance, when I wake up I always follow a systematic sequence that is specific, for either a weekday or weekend. Thus if I am to travel, I start to imagine how all this planned sequence will be interfered with and I get worked up. I literally get stressed out days before I travel and by the time the journey commences I am worn out emotionally. Given an opportunity, I always back out from traveling. St Augustin once said that the world is a book and that those who do not travel read only a page. I am a culprit of that quote. I would like to imagine that I have read very few pages because I can count the number of places that I have traveled too. I love vacations, safaris, site seeing and all these adventurous activities but on advertisement. However, despite my negative mental attitude towards traveling, I realize that whenever

Intimacy

Someone once said that real power is the ability to maintain intimacy. Real STRENGTH is the ability to maintain contact. Whereas games are an ego default when being “real” feels too scary. Human beings by default are social creatures who were created to feel and share affection. God created each one of us with a longing for intimacy. In the book of Genesis we see God visiting Adam and Eve every now and then for a closer relationship and even when this relationship went soar because of sin God still went ahead and  sent his only begotten son. He gave up His one and only son as sacrifice to renew the relationship because He values intimacy with man. According to open bible website, there over 61 verses about intimacy with God and each verse describes an intense affection for God. David who has been referenced as a man after God’s heart pours out his heart in the book of Psalm chapter 63 verse 1-11 without any reservations “ O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul
