12 THINGS EVERYBODY SHOULD DO IN 2019


 *1. In 2019, Pursue something*.
Don't walk in the entire 365 days without having something particular in mind to achieve. Start a building project, buy a car, pay some school fees, start some job. Just do something!

 *2. In 2019, Walk with people wiser or stronger than you*. In 2019, surround yourself with people who will inspire you, who will make you feel you can do better, who will challenge you on.

 *3. In 2019, Check your dressing or appearance*.
Don't put on 'anything' just because it covers your nakedness. Your appearance tells a lot about you. Iron your dress neatly. Don't wear dresses in the name of fashion or trend . Wear more decent but fitting dresses. This is the slogan: Simple but Classy.

 *4. In 2019, Check how you talk*. Before you open your mouth, be minded of who you are talking to, where you are talking, when you are talking and also know that your integrity is at stake. In every situation, choose silence over speech unless you don't have any option.

 *5. In 2019, Visit people's home*. Visit the old to appreciate them also orphanage and children in need of special care.  Don't let them feel unwanted or neglected in the scheme of things.

 *6. In 2019, be more prayerful*. You can't live your life thinking things occur merely logically. There's a Supreme Being who makes things happen, pray to him.

 *7. In 2019,* start thinking or planning towards doing more for humanity.

 *8. In 2019, be Positive and Realistic*.
Always think Positive while being Realistic. When you see tigers praying to God, don't join them. You can be positive that they won't 'chop' you since they are praying but be realistic too that after the prayers, they'll remain tigers and God will feed them with flesh.

 *9. Buy gifts for your love ones*.
In 2019, try and do something 'small' for parents . You have no idea what  goes on in their minds  Let them feel you are not far off

 *10. In 2019, Invest more, save less, spend less*.
Put your money into investment ventures. Buy T-bills, buy shares, buy fixed deposits, import some goods and sell, be a stock broker, etc. In fact, get more than one stream of income!

 *11. In 2019, Take life Easy*.
Many known names have gone and life goes on. . The point is, don't work your life out. You won't take your work with you when you die. You are not as important as you think, calm down. Take time off work, go and do medical check-up, visit your family, visit gardens or the beach and appreciate nature, etc.

 *12. After* reading, send this message to all your groups and contacts, it may be of help to someone.

SUPER HEROES



We all have Super Heros in our lives
They may not be the strongest
Or the smartest in the world
But are always there for you 
At the darkest hours 
When all thoughts of life 
Has negatively deluded you
They ignite the will in you
To bounce back amidst life challenges
And fight for what you believe in 
To achieve your dreams

PUREST OF HEART


Lord help me
To have the purest of heart
The mind is a snare
Lusting after the things of life

I dine in sin daily
By compromising my faith
Your grace is sufficient for me
The flesh I wear is weak

She takes advantage of me
For an excuse of my trespasses
Because You are forgiven and kind
Doesn't permit self righteousness

I heard whispers in my sleep
My deeds will only bring about death
Both to the soul and spirit  
The heart and the body as a whole

I will be tormented within
Cast into the eternal flame
Help me to be of a clean heart
A heart seeking after your will

I want to be forgiven
To everyone whom have scorned me
Reproof to anger and hate
Reproof to pride and prejudice

Take my life and plant your words
On the fleshy table of my heart
At the end of this journey on earth
l seek to wear the purest of heart

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE


It is true what they say
The journey of life begins with a little step
From a toddler, I have grown
To attain the height of a purposeful man

Not because I am the strongest
Not because I am the smartest
Neither is it because I am special
But because I have a divine helping hand

He never gave up on me
Never judged my shortcomings
But gave me all the support I needed
Life for a moment was never out of place

As I lift up my eyes beyond the clouds
To God who have being sustaining me
Until I journey to my home beyond the sky
Know that I will forever be indebted

Today,  I pray that the joy I found
May it depart not from me and not from you
May the heavenly father light away every darkness
But plant in you a garden of His profound greatness

I BELIEVE IN DREAMS


I believe in dreams
That true love is endless
But sometimes I am afraid
If I am good enough to have

The twilight of your smile
I can not take off my eyes
Hope I can give you true happiness
Someone to love you for nothing-less

Close your eyes and look into your heart
Hold my hands, let me walk you through the stars
I want your world to be bright forever
No miracles, just expressing the way I feel

The feelings I have for you is like rain drops
In your heart, it is going to fill the clouds
And wet the tender flowers
Just so your world becomes beautiful at sunrise

THE SEASON OF GRACE


From the heavens
To the end of the earth
Grace is abound for free
You are sons and daughters
Of the most high
There is greatness deposited
In the heart of men
It is brighter than the sunset

Hold on to God's words
Proclaim them as it is written 
Grace is sufficient for thee
There is favour all around us
All it takes is obedience
A little faith to back your dreams 
But you have to make sacrifices
For the spirit of God to duel within
