My Daily Prayer


I know it’s been a while but I just randomly thought to share only of my prayers. This prayer is one for accountability and responsibility, and I hope you say these words: 

Lord I thank you for the blessings in my life, 

I pray I’m not carried away by the bliss thereof that i am not available for your purpose for me. 

Help me to know that which you’re doing and help me be a part of it. 


All that I have and am, is yours and I pray to be a great steward that’s accountable and responsible for the blessings. 


Thank you for answering me always. 

Your Son,

Ayodele

Answers: How to live wisely

 I am starting this post with a question I want you to answer – What do you do when your back is against the wall? I have always summarized my actions into nuggets that guide my actions and decisions. My plan with this post is to share my top 50 answers, and hopefully, I will be able to write/talk about the details of these answers and their circumstances. Before I get to that point, I will take this post as a gauge of appetite – If everything goes well, this might become a self-help book in the future.  I have titled this post "Answers" because that is what it is about, and they have helped me get to where I am right now.  So here goes the answers:  God is one, he's right and means the best God loves you- he really does Don't despise wealth; Don't obsessively desire riches; Be grateful for every benefit Think about one good thing that you're grateful for in this situation Do what your boss wants; It's in your place to make your boss trust you (Titus 2:9-1...

On self worth and ego

On my way to church this morning, I started thinking about worth, value, ego and pride. These are all commonly used words that are all related.  For most people, their sense of value and pride is in their work, children, career and wealth. This is very apparent in the things we optimize for and how we go about them. Whilst this is great, I’ve recently realised that we seem to be focused on the wrong things.  Work, wealth, children, career and other things life can offer are benefits but they cannot define our sense of worth because of how ephemeral they are. Just yesterday, a friend was telling about a company that went down to zero from $4B valuation. That’s just one example, there a other cases we’ve seen.  So what’s my prescription here? The simple answer is God. God is simply the answer.  The scriptures records different stories, instructions and sermons that communicate the love of God. In my interpretation, I see that the love of God exemplifies his value and w...

Wicked Seniors: Making Education Safe for All

So a few days ago, a lady had innocently posted for the relationship X’s audience about her initial indifference about her husband and how she didn’t think he was attractive enough at the time. (Honestly I didn’t take too much time to read because, you know — it’s too much and a very chaotic street on X).  Whilst her post was innocently targeted at her audience, she indirectly triggered emotions and trauma deeply buried in the a lot of people who were her husband’s junior in secondary school. For context, I was also his junior and I can relate to a lot of these comments/stories. It was so bad that after I graduated, my dad said “none of his kids will ever step on a unity school” again and he made sure of that.  We all agree that bullying in schools is not an uncommon practice in schools; this doesn’t make it right neither have we founded a structure to eliminate this terrible act that influences and shapes kids through their formative years into young adults. The stories from ...
