IT IS A WASTE OF LIFE NOT TO HAVE PLAN B

The most successfull people are those who are good at Plan B''

-James. A. Yorke

Success as we see it is relative.

My late mother taught me from childhood never to depend on anyone to the extent that when they let me down,
I will start to cry. I got it. It framed my attitude to life and many people think I behave as if I am not human. No!

I have always been a man with Plan B so that if life tries to push me down,I bounce. If I am asking you to do something for me,
I am thinking of another way of doing it. If someone is supplying me with anything either freely or I am paying for it, I make sure I have alternatives. Whatever a man is giving to me, I make sure I can afford it so that when they stop, I continue to sponsor myself.
We live like that as a family and are not overtly dependent on anyone. So, when it happens, we bounce back quickly.

That is how to live. Don’t let anyone or anything hold you to ransom. Have a Plan B with work, career, business, relationships, financial matters and
even holiday matters. If you can’t go to Greece, travel to the next town near you. Do not say it must be this or that way. People usually become depressed, have serious health issues or become stranded from disappointments when there is no plan B.
No matter how careful and clever you are, there will be disappointments by man, nature or circumstances. With Plan B, you will not be severely damaged though you may feel it for a while.

Why? Life has no guarantee. Life can be unfair. The best plan can fail.
I have seen that human beings are very wicked. They want to stifle you and squeeze you to death. They want to see you cry. They want to see you suffer. That only happens to people without Plan B. Disappointments motivate people with
Plan B. They are always ready. I am talking about you. Be ye ready!

YOU MUST READ THIS.

As professionals, we want to be the best and in attempt to do that, many of us become unhealthy. We work long hours, feed on junk foods, take unhealthy drinks, have little or no rest and deprive ourselves of sleep.
We make the money but later, many suffer from poor health: Diabetes, heart disease, kidney issues, liver issues, depression, hypertension, high blood pressure, mental illness and the likes. Check the roots of all these, it is not usually genetic, natural or environmental.
It is a result of living a sedentary lifestyle or overworking without paying attention to one’s health. At the end of the day, all the monies and assets gathered is left for others to enjoy. You can stop the rot now!

Last year, I took ill with Covid-19 and I almost died.

I have discovered that when people try to destroy us, we should not fight them or try to retaliate with evil.

Rather, we should pray for them. I learnt from Joseph and Jesus Christ. I am a very good student of the duo. If we try to fight those trying to destroy us,
we may be going against God’s divine agenda.

God usually use people who hated us to push us into our destiny. Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me,but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives”.
It is not all conspiracies, rebellion and attacks that is from the devil. Many comes from God who sits in heaven and does as he pleases on the earth. My advice, focus on your vision, endure the afflictions whilst it lasts and be ready to bask in the euphoria of victory.

PASTORS NEED TO BE MORE HONEST ON THEIR MARRIAGE.

This has been on my mind for many years and it is time for this article to go out to help millions of Christians worldwide.

Many pastors are in trouble in their marriage and they are deceiving the members.
As a result of that, some members break up their own relationships as they want it to be like that of their pastors. In reality, there is no perfect home and there is no perfect marriage. Pastors are struggling too. They are human and they go through what you are going through.
Many pastors have died prematurely because of domestic pressure: stress, depression, stroke, heart problems, insomnia, high blood pressure and hypertension. They went to the grave with the secrets but we refuse to die. Pray for us.

The problem with Nigerians is that we believe that prayer will be the answer to Nigeria’s problem. Until we rise, the sufferings will continue. I commend @renoomokri for the peaceful ‘imprisonment’ of President Buhari in London. Maybe that will force him to save Nigeria from
disintegration. I also commend @DeleMomodu for his boldness in condemning our inept leadership. I cannot believe how many people are making enquiries on how to move out of Nigeria. People I thought were rich and wealthy. What happens to those that have nowhere to go? They are in
the majority. How can a president give so much priority to cows and his people? How can our president @MBuhari be so inhuman? I see that day coming when the ordinary citizens will turn on the rich in Nigeria and start taking their properties. Again, it is the innocent rich people

ENJOYING RESURRECTION POWER - DELE OLAWANLE

In Matthew 28, we saw that some women got to the sepulcher but Jesus was not there. He had risen. The grave could not hold him captive. He resurrected and is alive forevermore. The fact that his name works means that he is not dead.
He is alive forevermore. When we call on him, he answers us.

Whenever we talk of Jesus, he needs appreciation not a pity party. We have to rejoice that our Saviour lives for ever. It is good to reflect on his death and not to mourn. Why should you mourn someone that is alive?
Some religious people are trying to recreate sorrow, pain and the evil that happened to Jesus over 2000 years ago. It is wrong, it is absurd, it is pure ignorance. Jesus had risen and he is alive forever. If that is your belief, then rejoice and tap into the power of

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH.

Sometimes, I think leaving one’s country of birth for a foreign country could be a big mistake especially for those who have great potentials. You could play yourself out of greatness. I blame the government of their home
country and I blame those checking out. Our taste for foreign things is insatiable. Meeting your economic needs is not the same as leaving a great legacy.

When I left Nigeria in 1990, it was because of education. I wanted to study law but there was no helper.
After many years in the wilderness of immigration, I eventually fulfilled my ambition and became a lawyer. I also became a pastor and did many other things successfully. Many people see me as a success but deep within me,
