WHEN YOU COME TO THE END OF YOURSELF 

YOU FIND THE BEGINNING OF GOD



The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small uninhabited island. 
He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, everyday he scanned the horizon for help but non seem forthcoming. Exhausted, he managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions. 
But then one day, while he was scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up the sky. 
The worst had happened, everything was lost. 

He was stung with grief and anger, “God! How could you do this to me?“ he cried. Early the next day, he was awaken by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know that i was here?“ asked the weary man of his rescuers. 

"We saw your smoke signal" they replied. 







NOTE: 

It‘s easy to get discourage when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pains and suffering, he sees you, he‘s there, he will carry you because he‘s concerned about you. Though weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning‘, he won‘t give you more than you can‘t bear. So next time your little hut is burning.......

It just may be the smoke signal that summons the grace of God in your life. 
May almighty God give us the strength to wait upon his grace. 



WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOURSELF?

Do you know your worth and what you are capable of?
Have you set your goals too high or too low?
There are always two things to be kept in mind

First, Never under estimate your worth.
You can do far better than what you are doing today.
Second, do not over estimate your worth.
There is a limit as to how much you can stretch yourself in one go.

You cannot take one step, your first step, and reach the top of the ladder…
You need to go step by step.

Life is a learning process and we learn as we grow.
Our limits expand.
Knowledge increases our worth.


Understand Your Worth.

networking Yesterday was memorable for me as there was a ready platform and a very aware man with a daunting unique message for everyone. We all need side "hustle" that augments our main source of livelihood and social media is a tool to milk out that purpose. It is more than just a meet-greet networking platform for business owners and individuals, It is an alternate revenue base for many who are aware. Young people are beginning to complain less and are totally reducing the dependen cy on the inept, clueless government while taking charge of their future using this medium. I discussed my entrepreneurship journey and stressed on the right way to stay "motivated". I met seasoned speakers on that platform --- # Lawyers  and  # Doctors  and I was specially grateful to God for that opportunity to share my truth and exchange valuable contact. The child of a nobody. NB: If you don't believe in God, from this moment, you should begin to believe in G

AMEND IT. ...But It was their anniversary, and Funke was waiting for her husband Kunle to show up. Things had changed since their marriage, the once couldn't-live-without-each-other cute couple had turned bitter fighting over every little thing. Both didn't like the way things had changed. Funke was waiting to see if Kunle remembered it was their anniversary, Just as the door bell rang, she ran to find her husband wet and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hand. The two started re-living the old days. Making up for fights, then was the plan for champagne, light music, - and it was raining! It was perfect timing, But the romantic moment was paused when the phone in the bedroom rang.  Funke went to pick the phone up and it was a man who spoke.  "Hello ma'am I'm calling from the police station. Is this Mr. Kunle Adeoye's number?" "Yes it is!" "I'm sorry ma'am; but there was an accident and a man died. We got thi

   MY FAMILY...      When i was a kid, mom loved to make food for dinner and i recall one night in particular when she made dinner after a long hard day at work. On that evening, Mom placed a plate of bread, jam and extremely burned biscuits in front of my Dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed. Yet, my Dad did was reach for his biscuit, smiled at my Mum: and asked me how my day was at school. Honestly, at that time i can't remember what i told him that night, but i do remember hearing Mum apologize to my Dad for burning the biscuits. Later that night, I went to kiss Dad goodnight and then I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned; he was silent for a minute or two... He wrapped me in his arm and said 'Mom put in a long hard day at work today and she is really tired... And besides, a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone- but harsh words do. The point here exactly is, there are better ways to act without hurting people. UNDERSTANDING IS WH
