Heart of the Wise

This is how Satan sponsors divorce. It is also how society enables or encourages failed marriages or marital breakdowns. He encourages women to divorce their husbands by rewarding them with goodwill post marriage. He celebrates and promotes them as heroines only when they have left their marriages. He sponsors and gives them fantastic opportunities to make money so much more than they could have ever dreamed was possible when they were still married. Why?  So that more women will go that route.  That’s the easy way to destroy marriages. You may think you are just supporting a woman who got divorced and helping her find her feet. But you are unaware of the monster you’re raising. Did you celebrate her when she was still married? Even when separated, did you try to explore the options of rational reconciliation? Did you honor the marriage and put any efforts in positive and constructive consultations? Or you let ego and emotions rule over you? … When the average man gets money, ...

Taking our analogy from the tree, the different types of people you will encounter in life can be described as either leaves, branches or roots. You can be described as one of these too. Let’s look at their individual characteristics. 1. THE LEAVES People who are your life just for a season.  You don’t rely on them because they are fickle.  They only come to take what they want. When the wind comes (because it surely will), they will take off, fall off or fade away. You need to be wary of these people because they act like they love you when things are going well.  They are loud about everything they do for you. But when things get a little shaky, they leave you. Like leaves, there are many of this type of people. 2. THE BRANCHES They are more reliable and useful people, but you also need to be cautious about them.  They can be helpful and productive for a period as long as they are getting huge retuns from you. However, they break away when life becomes really tough...

Erotic love can make us act silly sometimes. It can make us create in our minds an overblown image of someone who isn’t that extremely heroic, angelic or grandiose after all.  It can make us imagine certain crazy scenarios. After you have been cured of the temporal mental instability and the acute emotional illness, you will realize that the person is an ordinary human being with both good and bad (or poor) qualities. They are not really the purest of angels like that. It was your mind and emotions that blew them out of proportion. The person you love in that irrational way is even puzzled and shocked at all that your exaggerated display and idealistic disposition towards them. They may also be very uneasy with the whole thing. That person who you think is an angel knows within themselves that they have their own real flaws. They can see that you’re just tripping on infatuation because true love is not oblivious of the flaws. Infact, true love sees everything (the whole works) yet ...

I don’t think I should have a ‘favorite’ preacher.  When it comes to Scriptural Truth, we should not do personal sentiments and individual biases. I have favorite music artistes based on personal preference for their sound, style and lyrics. That’s subjective and based on my own taste. Many people have a favorite football or soccer team. We may also have favorite meals, color, cities, etc. But when it comes to my faith and walk with God, the only taste is Truth, the only text is the Written Word, the only focus is The Kingdom, and the only Personality or Ultimate Center of Attention is Christ! No human personality steals the show from Him.  Not in my heart and mind.  Not in my consciousness. Not for my sole allegiance. For I know Who exactly is LORD of all. I know God is no respecter of persons. I also understand what His Will or Truth is. Gratefully so, only by His Great Mercy and Grace. So I was somewhat puzzled or mildly disappointed at what I perceived (I may be wrong...

  What you need to know about red flags. Let’s simplify and summarize this critical concept. The term “red flag” used in the context of dating and relationships refers to a sign that a person will turn out to be (or is) a bad or problematic partner. Simply put, a red flag is a warning sign of unhealthy or abusive behavior in a prospective partner.  This is a very practical topic of everyday life.  … What are some examples of red flags? They include the following basic behavioral traits: * Being controlling (dictating what you should do, and criticizing your choices). * Being manipulative (lying, gaslighting, attacking your self-esteem, and playing mind games). * Substance abuse (overdosing on psychoactive substances or medication). * Physical violence (hitting, pushing or manhandling a person, and violating their physical space).  * Love bombing (showing too much affection to choke and control a person is unhealthy). All this may sound logical in writing, but recogni...

Men, listen up! Be careful not to make suggestive remarks and actions towards your female staff or colleagues. You lose respect whether she accepts or refuses. She will start feeling on top of the world or she will suddenly start giving you some silly attitude. She will even do or say something inappropriate or unseemly just to diss and rebuff your official orders or perhaps personal requests—something that she could never have tried doing or saying before. Infact she will do it in front of people such as other colleagues just to indirectly tell them that: “Oga dey chase me or dey knack me, so I fit play with am.” She won’t understand that you were (or are) only trying to relief pressure or satiate your urge/lust. She may also start neglecting her own duties with the display of grossly intentional oversight but will pretend that it wasn’t intended or feign tiredness. That’s why when some men have segx with women or girls who are far lower than them in social class or status, they do it...
