Vodoo Dream

 Beads of prespiration pouring down as the heat of the sun mercilessly saps from the juice of vitality.With this gloomy reality enshrouding in its overwhelming magnitude, an escape must be sought, and fast. To elope into phantasm, a world surreal but loaded with endless promises of repose from the weariness of the travails of the battles of every day life, is the only open option of escape from this disarticulating, dicappiteting cosmos. Or is it? With so much self imposed definitions to the concept of  humanity, so much ambiguity is left unresolved. Schooled minds advocate pragmatic solutions to humanity's dilema, others prefer some phantasma.

In acute despiration to alleviate this seemingly unending affliction, complications emanate by the lack of virtue, the virtue called responsibility. Without ability to accept and be accountable for the initiation of the chain reactions of cause and effect, gropping in darkness is inevitable. Having denied the true essence of living, as reprobates, repose is sought in some illusion that is only meant to be a quick fix, a temporary, tentative alleviation from suffering. Like an endless cycle humanity loops, relegating the import of divinity to travasty. Many live in a dream world,many more live others' dreams.

With the narcissistic nature and the human's grandiose sense of entitlement acutely clouding judgement, the wisdom of responsibility and accountability has been replaced with the foolishness of escapeism. In this disposition, blame is only on others ond not on self for every misfortune. A person initiates the process of success or failure, others are just part of the painting. Let the initiator take blame for being the limitator or terminator of the materialisation of purpose, it is irresponsible to pass the buck.There is the ultimate option of choice, effectively using it is only a matter of acceptance. Acceptance is a matter of responsibility, every principality understands the fatality of irresponsibility.

Whatever life gives, by virtue or machination, by fortune or prowess, it behooves humanity to imbibe the eternal principle of responsibility. Indeed, accountablity for every action is inevitable, the eternal consequence irrefutable. Blindness to this is foolishness, acceptacne of this is the first step towards emancipation and total redemption. Not all will learn. Fools will drown in folly but the wise will escape peril. At the restitution of things the picture becomes clear. So my dear, see beyond the flowery presentation into the dedication put in this dictum. Snap out of the illusion, it's only a vodoo dream.

The Owner of the Office knows best.

Earlier this evening I decided to cook for the family. I wanted to prepare a local delicacy popular with the Enugu people of Eastern Nigeria. It is called Okpa. It is a pudding made from the flour of bambara nuts with palm oil, pepper and a little salt. You can add pepper to taste. My son is particularly fond of it. Well, my wife is the manager of the kitchen and the store. She went to church for clean up, leaving me and my boy at home. I decided to give her a helping hand. It was she who organized the store and it was she who really knew where what was kept. I invaded her office with good intentions. But you know how that saying goes that good intentions are not enough. I had never prepared Okpa myself but I have watched her do it several times. I can learn by observation so I knew what to do. I entered into the store and got the flour I used, combining it with the other ingredients and seasoning it to taste. It was going to be delicious and I felt proud of myself. I put it on the

Tests of purpose and vision- The sequel

Last time on this series, we examined four of twelve tests of purpose and vision- The test of apetite, pride, sex and money. Let's continue from where we stopped. As an addendum to the test of money, let me quickly say that most christians find it rather challanging to be faithful when it comes to money. Money is the only thing Jesus put in the god class when he said "you can not serve God and mammon". The problem believers have is the love of money which, as scriptures put it, is the root of all evil. We have seen (and we will always see) men do all sort of things for the sake of money. Believers have to be espeially areful in this area because what you do for immediate gain and satisfaction could cost you your destiny. Now to the next test- The test of Parenthood. Honour your parents (Eph 6:1-3). How you treat your parents affects your destiny either positively or negatively. The consequence of dishonouring your parents is not just a curse but the result of breaking

The Shift

Happy new year to all my esteemed readers around the world. We have, together, seen the end of the first decade of the 21st century and i have been doing alot of thinking and personal evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that there is a place where we are, or were, and there is a place where we ought to be, or are tending towards. One of the most significant things that will happen in the year 2011 is the shift. This shift will happen on a personal and global scale and the shaking will bring about mixed consequences. This shift i am talking about will be characterised by "seasons." Your control of your seasons will determine where you will end your shift process. There are certain things you must know about your season: every season has it's benefits no matter how gloomy every season has an opportunity for growth in all four dimensions of human consciousness viz: Imagination,conscience,will power and self awareness. You need the right tool to master your seaso
