SMOKE Lyrics

[intro:] smoke yeah smoke yeah huh
[Men am rolling with the lord
gat me feeling like a boss
we already won of course] x3ce

[VERSE 1 :]
I laugh
When I listen to the wack songs I wrote these past years .
Elementary Conversations
am Shinning like a black man standing in the red sun
for the ones in day care
Simulated for the win like am rob cop
pass me a another cup , about to set it up.
Who does it like I do
I head into a toss
coining up my flow
I gat no menopause
This is how we roll
I do this for a Cause
Imagine people with no vision tryna turn it up
That’s Impossible like LC BEATs not going GAGA
I never landed in michael jackson’s park
am too
fly to be one those mosquitoes causing FEVER
jump in a signpost , cheers for the new souls , we already won in past plus
this is the kinda song to get the host of heaven turning up , now turn me up ….

[FAST RAP]
You ain’t never heard it like this , men am a compound mixed up sounds , eureka , this is all me stunting on a beat , sick flow , move on , you can never be this dope . (Woo)
i be the guy , start up a fire , we on the rise ,
Gassed up
am standing on the solid rock
am never seeking for sinking sands

(FAST RAP)
Smoke on the mic stand
I stand with an understanding that God sets up a standard
put some paint on the canvass ,
never cared about religion
am up in your face
gimme some space
This is like hell in a hype , fire , smoke and brimstone.
Pass me a square and a blue cone .
The clear message is some folks reject eternal life .
I see the truth dissected , Here comes the after life .
Separate the sheep from the goat and the party starts
The lake of fire wasn’t made by some tiny sparks
SMOKE

[CHORUS:]
[Men am rolling with the lord
gat me feeling like a boss
we already won of course
there’s no
fire
without
SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE
Without] x2ce

[VERSE 2]
There’s No accidents in life , only propagandas
Set a Trap , I overcome it , While you screaming Panda?
Focus on the mission , And you gat to be patient.
These underground bars dropping bombs and understatements
Have been working on my faith men , I just made a dozen
I need a lot of hope
gosh men I miss my cousin
Wish I was there when the fire started out
Grace is Given when we need it bad
we passing out.
I be on my steady grind , ain’t no looking back
we be popping , elevated like a trampoline
Put a lighter on my flow , bom like Gasoline
I heard some rapper murmuring mumbling punch lines
Smash the moment with the way am dropping hulk lines
I know am thinking , why he bragging like he run something?
Cos I gat a king in the heaven and he loves loving.
am so excited to be back in the vocal booth
I ain’t afraid to open jaws even tho I lost a tooth?
Yeah There’s No Fire without Smoke
Fantasizing
I get higher with no coke
YEAH
They told me that silence is golden
am digging the gold with the lines am beholding
forget all the times that they said I was stupid for doing the music , Am balling

[outro]
You know, smoke
yeah

God has been too good to you pass to they think gulder

Some doors that were bottled up have been opened up like seven-up
Happy birthday to this jubilating super star

It's your day; a happy day; the God of glory writes your story
I pray He writes your name, framed on heaven's wall of fame
Drench you in the pool of wealth; pull you into divine wealth
Happy birthday to a gem; may God make you super fly

Ball your goals on your dream pitch, dribbling past every gunner
Happy birthday to a special citizen of man's city
Red devils hate man united but can't stop your union with breakthrough

To the celebrant that makes heaven jubilate
Happy birthday; great wealth and health is your fate
May the God before you make crooked places straight
Operate in victory; never cease to celebrate

The God of glory is in charge of your story
He will drive away your worry like a lorry
And kick Satan' furry away from you in a hurry
What a very blessed day to say happy birthday dearie

Happy birthday to a dearie destined by God to be the head,
May you be drenched in the pool of health which sickness dreads,
Live a long life of exploits like you got more than Samson's dreds,
Wish you sweeter life with daily bread and cooler wealth ahead.

Wish you the sounds of laughter and hapiness of smiles/
Suspense of surprises and feelings of love/
Cheer of health and the wonder of wealth/
With a heart from love's grid, happy birthday indeed/

Happy birthday to you; live on drenched in the pool of health/
Occupy space like matter in the weighty sphere of wealth/
Soar like an eagle over pride and tides of strife/
Rule like a lion in this vast jungle of life/

Today be Earth's day to celebrate your birthday/
So the Earth is alert to the fact that you glow/
Even the air tells of God's Love not to an empty end/
Breathing free airtime per seconds to long life and prosperity/

More colourful than the rainbow will be your daily reign/
God's rain on your grain will bring you gains of wealth/
The arrows of sorrow won't conquer your marraw's stealth/
Happy birthday to you with cakes of mansions of health/

May Christ our Living well always keep you living well/
Fill your purse without a pause till it so outpours/
Not make you kick the bucket but eat the fruits of your pocket/
Happy birthday as I wish you a life of health stuck with wealth/

May the beauty of nature nuture your life with health/
May the duty of labour favour your life with wealth/
May long life and safety secure your path in stealth/
Happy birthday to you and may your wishes come true/

As God's Spirit follows you, may blessed showers fall on you/
Drench you in pools of good health and bless you with great pull of wealth/
Life may seem sour with germs, yet, you'd soar higher like a gem/
Happy birthday that'll enrich; God bring your wishes to your reach/

A hell of jubilation going on in heaven,
As celebration got a date with jubilation,
Because a gem was born to make the house fly,
Better days await you as I say happy birthday.

Two tips on ur birthday:
4get the PAST; u can't change it
4get the PRESENT; I didn't get u one
Hope I succeeded in making u smile
Long life& prosperity

SHAKE IT OFF AND TAKE A STEP UP - Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well-like pit. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
.

.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement it quieted down.
.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the pit. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit its back, the donkey was doing something amazing. It would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
.
MORAL : Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest pits just by not stopping and never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

DOES GOD REALLY EXIST? - the barber story

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed, as the barber began to work, they started a good conversation; they talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched the subject of God, the barber said, “I don’t believe that God exists.” “Why do you say that?” asked the customer. The barber said, “Well you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist; Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.” 
.

.
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard; He looked dirty and unkept. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and said to the barber, “You know what? Barbers do not exist.” "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. “I am here, and I am a barber, and I just worked on you!” “No!” the customer exclaimed. “Barbers don't exist because if they do, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.” The barber said, “Ah, but barbers DO exist, what happens is, people don't come to me.”
.
“Exactly”- affirmed the customer, “That’s the point.” God too, DOES exist; what happens is, people don’t go to Him and do not look for him. GOD DOES EXIST!!!

A MOTHER'S HEART - not every lady has a mother's heart

Sadhu Sundar Singh passed a crowd of people putting out a jungle fire at the foot of the Himalayas. Several men however were standing, gazing at a tree, the branches of which were already alight. 'What are you looking at?' he asked. They pointed to a nest of young birds in the tree. Above it, a bird was flying wildly to and fro in great distress. The men said. 'We wish we could save that nest but the fire prevents us from getting near it.' A few minutes later, the nest caught fire. The Sadhu thought the mother bird would fly away. But no! She flew down, spread her wings over the young ones, and in few minutes was burnt to ashes with them.
.

.
A woman with a baby on her back was running away from a bush that caught fire. She was not fast enough and the fire caught up with her. Oh! The baby must not die. She frantically dug a hole with her bare hands, put the baby inside, slept on the baby and in no time was burnt by fire.
.
It was a time of war in Korea and a pregnant woman was running for her dear life, trying to escape from the North to the South. Labour pains came on her and there on the field, covered with snow, she bent herself and had her baby. She was thinly clad but didn't want the baby to die. She removed whatever dress was on her to wrap the little baby. The snow was too much for the naked woman and shortly later, she died. The child did survive. A missionary couple heard him crying as they passed by the field, and took him up into their home to care for him.
.
A man once said to his wife, ''That child must be left to die on the dunghill and not brought into the house again. The herbalist said he is a curse to the family. If you bring the child in again, then you will have to go. The choice is yours.'' perhaps he has his reasons. Since this child was born, it has been one sickness or the other. Sometimes he would faint or go into coma; and when all hope is given up, he is thrown into the dunghill. Afterwards, a faint cry would be heard and the mother would rush to take him into her embrace again to nurture the life still in him. Well, the father was fed up of the repeated antics of this curse. His purse had been drained by this constant attack, hence his refusal to give the boy another chance.
.
It was in the night and rain had started falling. The mother strained her ears and heard a faint cry. Out she went and picked up the boy, so happy he was still alive. There was only one option left for this woman - to leave her matrimonial home. It was a traumatic experience that spanned through many years of struggle, but she took care of the child and he became a preacher of the gospel.
.
Many mothers there are who go hungry just to get some food for their children. Many are ready to deny themselves of good clothing, delicacies, entertainment, opportunities, privileges and whatever it takes to get the best for their children in terms of education, health, feeding and other necessities of life. The child must live and live well, that seems to be their goal in life. Although sadly enough, not every lady has a mother's heart. The category you fall in is your choice

THE ROD AND REPROOF GIVE WISDOM - No woman whose child had derailed can have a true sense of fulfilment.

Mrs. Magnus heard the sound of the judge's gravel as he pronounced judgement. It was like a dagger directed at her heart. ''Ten years imprisonment,'' he intoned.
.

.
She hung her head and remained still. Infact, she had sat through the entire court proceedings like one in a trance. No emotion showed on her face but her heart was in turmoil. She hardly heard the lawyers as they argued their case. She kept asking herself over and over,''how did I get here?'' If she were to answer the question, she would have said that the journey to that courtroom began three months ago when her husband's phone rang and he was told that their only son was held in detention for alleged involvement in cult activities and armed robbery. ''There must be a mistake,'' she had said to her husband when the news got to them. But she was proved wrong. Then began the endless trips to the police station, the lawyer's office and the court. She never believed it will ever come to such a sordid end. They could not, even with the best lawyer, snatch their son from the hands of the law. His crime was too heinous and the evidences too clear to be concealed.
.
As she sat there, shame and sorrow washed over her. She felt like she was stripped of everything that mattered in life. Right then, all the wealth she and her husband amassed over the years, meant nothing to her; now, she could give away everything to have her son back. But it was too late. This is not surprising. No woman whose child had derailed can have a true sense of fulfilment.
.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Magnus' journey to yhe courtroom did not just begin three months back as she believed. It began years ago when her son was a little tot, born the only male among four children, he was over indulged and spoilt. The common belief in their culture that sons are more important than daughters has aided in the over pampering of the boy, their only boy. They provided everything that he wanted. When negative reports began to come from his teachers at school, they made excuses for their child and blamed the teachers. Once when he was suspended from school for a gross misconduct, his parents were so annoyed with the management that they transfered him to another school. He grew up a proud, self-centred bully. Infact, he thought the world revolved around him. It is no wonder that as soon as he got into higher institution, he joined a bad gang.
.
Mrs. Magnus would be shocked if someone were to tell her that she contributed to the plight of her child, infactm that she led him by the hand into the prison cell. She, like many mothers today, trifle with the art of motherhood. They do not handle child training with the seriousness it deserves
.
The way you are training that child now, what do you think will be the end result? You allow him to do as he likes and goes wherever he pleases, always believing that this is the modern time, the jet age when children should be 'free'. Did God not give you the sacred task of nurturing this child for him? The child, whether male or female is not yours, you are only a caretaker. Mothers are not exclusively responsible for child training but they do have tremendous influence on their children.

THE ILL LUCK OF IMPATIENCE - Impatience damages blessing!

''For how long will you remain like this? All your mates and colleagues at work have male children who will corner their daddy's estate. Remember, heaven helps those who help themselves. I've told you of the new man that came to settle at the end of the second lane to your house. People say he is very good at the job. Why not give it a trial?'' Those were the words of Mrs. Adviser, a friend to Mrs. Patience.
.

.
Actually, it was not the first time Mrs. Adviser will talk to Mrs. Patience like this but Mrs. Patience never gave a thought to such things; she was a christian and was satisfied that God was in control of her life. This time however, Mrs. Adviser's usual suggestion seemed to be getting some Attention from Mrs. Patience.
.
Mrs. Patience had been married for seven years but has had only girl-children. Now she was beginning to interpret every friendly overture as a veiled ridicule. She became sour to live with and decided that to die was better than to live. Of recent, she had not been consistent in her church but went from one 'miracle ministry' to another looking for a male child. Often she regretted going in the end because these miracle ministries generally promised well; to start with, but after a while introduced some gimmicks, she knew and had been taught in her church were wrong. Each had one thing or the other to add or to emphasize, apart from the name of Jesus.
.
Well, what does it matter anymore? Where she gets the man-child is the best, she thought. Mrs. Adviser's suggestion appeared good. So, she went there , to the man at the end of the second lane to her house. The man gave her some fetish medicine and insisted that these will only work if he lies carnally with her. She refused but took the medicine which became a source of pain and discomfort to her stomach. She had to undergo surgery and it was discovered a three months baby boy was forming in her. The foetus was there before she took the juju man's medicine which killed the foetus and affected her womb. The prayer now is no more for the child but how to survive the serious damage of her womb and her whole system. Impatience damages blessing!

WHAT A MOTHER TOLD HER SON A DAY BEFORE HIS WEDDING - Now let me talk to you about Sex

Mummy’s boy, you are now a man. Tomorrow you will have a new mother, a new cook and a new person to share all your secrets with. It will no longer be me but her. Love your new mum even more than you love me. Before you walk into her arms forever, let me give you some words to guide you.
.

.
There was a day I was arguing with your father. We were screaming, Tempers were high. I was angry and He was angry. Then I called him an idiot! He was shocked, He looked at me asking how dare I call him that; I immediately started calling him idiot, fool, stupid, crazy. I called him all sort of names. Guess what he did? He didn’t raise his hands to hit me. He just walked away, banging the door as he went out.
.
My Son, If your father had hit me and destroyed my eyes, how will you feel sitting here with me today? How will you regard him as your father? Would you have been proud of him or would you be blaming me for calling him names? Never hit your wife! No matter the provocation just walk away and things will be normal. Whenever she offends you, think of this story I just told you, it could have been your mum!
.
Before I forget, after he left, I was filled with guilt. We slept on same bed that night and I went to him the next day. I pleaded with him; I did all I could to show him how sorry I was and he forgave me. That day I cooked his favourite food, yes you know he loves Pounded yam & Vegetable soup right? After that day, I never called him names, my respect for him was even stronger.
.
There is something very important you must always do, my son listen very carefully, defend your wife. When she is under pressure, stand by her. If your friends hate her, it is your duty to make them see her as a Queen. Your Uncle, I mean Uncle Yusuf, never liked me but your father was always supportive until his perception changed.
.
There was a day your Father was going to host the owner of his company and friends. They were three of them. That day I was in the kitchen cooking for them and your father went to buy drinks. When the table was set and food was served. Everyone started eating. Then I remembered I did not add salt in the food. I was embarrassed. Your father tasted the food and looked at me. He immediately turned to the guests. He told them that he instructed his wife last month not to add salt whenever she is cooking because of some problem with his body. He said it in a funny way and everyone laughed! The guests understood and he asked me to bring salt and everyone added according to their taste. He managed to eat the food without salt. After the guest left, he went on his knees and asked God to forgive him for lying.
Your wife is like a baby, sometimes she won’t know what to say or do. Stand up and speak for her!.
.
Now let me talk to you about Sex. You see SEX is a wonderful thing. Do not be surprised if your wife enjoy and need Sex more than you do. There were days, I needed Sex more than your father and there were days he needed it more than me but the important thing is to always try to satisfy the other when they need you. Don’t always think of your self.
.
There was a time things were hard and I needed to do two jobs to support your father. One night I was so tired. When I got to bed he was in the mood. He tried to make love to me and I didn’t refuse him. I was tired but I felt I needed to be there when he needed me. When he tried undressing me, he saw my look and he stopped. He asked what was wrong and I said nothing. But he understood me better. He stopped and then started telling me stories until I fell asleep.
.
My son, Sex is best enjoyed when the two parties are physically and mentally ready for it. Sometimes, read your wife and understand her. Make it a habit to go anywhere with your wife. Besides your job, move around with her. If anyone invite you to his house and told you not to come with your wife then be very careful. Use wisdom.
.
I know you love mummy; I know you tell me all your problems. But now things will be different. Let your wife be the first to know before me. Let her be the first to see before me. When you have problems with her don’t run to me immediately. Wait for a day to pass and then talk to her about it. Pray about it. Report her to nobody but talk issues out between yourselves.
.
Finally, don’t forget to come and visit me with your wife every month! I know you will have a happy home. You will always be mummy’s boy and God will bless your home. Please don't forget God, pray & seek His assistance always.

TAKE AWAY THE MASK - This attitude is like a mask, hiding the real person.

Little Joe sat on the sofa unusually very moody since he came back from the Johnson's', three days ago, where he spent part of holidays; he found his home environment very strange. Strange because all he was confronted with were harshness, bullying here and there, complaints and threats. These, he was able to combine before now found it unbearable after his welcoming experience with the Johnson's where he was lavished with love and tender care.
.

.
His frustration heightened and was aggravated by the fact that his mother who claimed to be a Christian presented two faces; a loving tender mother when dealing with outsiders, but a harsh, hard and impatient mother when dealing with her family members. As Joe brooded over this, his whole being longed for the kind of warmth and Peace that characterized the Johnson's. Regrettably, he saw this as a mirage in his own family home. "But why!" he muttered, "we go to church regularly like the Johnson's. Why are my parents not like them?" This situation in young Joe's life continued unnoticed by his parents, who remained loveless in their unkind treatment towards the children.
.
One afternoon, as the parents left for the day's work, Joe packed his bag and baggage back to the Johnson's. The Johnsons who were not in anyway expecting him were taken aback. They however gave him a warm reception. After dinner, as Joe intimated them with his situation and agitations, he implored them to help instill in his parents those godly virtues that characterized the Johnsons. During their family altar, the Johnsons in very clear language explained to Joe the secret and source of their happiness and conduct. He was led to Christ and that memorable night, Joe embraced Christ as his Lord and saviour.
.
Meanwhile at home, when his parents cane back to find him gone, they were panic stricken. Still in their perplexity, the phone rang. Both parents sprang up at the same time to answer the call. They were greatly relieved to hear from Mrs Johnson who informed them of Joe's safety in their arms and also invited them for a dinner chat. This meeting became a forum for Joe's happiness at home today. His entire family through the Johnson's welcomed Christ into their lives. Now, with Christ as the head of the home, young Joe's dream was fulfilled.
.
The case of Joe can be described as a universal problem found in many homes today. Many Parents often have two faces. At home, with their children, they are harsh, serious, unloving and authoritative. When found with outsiders or with other children, they appear more humane, tender, kind, patient, courteous and loving towards them. This attitude is like a mask, hiding the real person. Parents are admonished to remove it and be at home what they are outside.

"MY WIFE, I AM SORRY" - relationship zone

He woke up in the morning and found her praying. He heard her praying for him.He stared at her. It has been a long time since he has seen her praying. For the past few months, they have been arguing. Last night, they had a nasty fight.He went downstairs in a hurry to prepare himself breakfast. These past days, she hasn't been cooking for him. Shock on him; he found breakfast already set at the table. He ate. He went back to the bedroom, to prepare for a shower. She left the shower. "Good morning. Have a blessed day" she said as she entertained the bedroom and he left for the bathroom.
.

.
After his shower, all dressed up for work, he found his wife at the kitchen, eating breakfast in peace. She was looking at some funny videos on her phone and giggling. He looked at her then walked out the door. The last look he had of her before he left was of her at peace. That last look disturbed him. This is not how she should be. This is not how she has been. He has been hurting her, she has recently found out that he has been flirting with other women, he has cheated once and used money meant for their family on other women. She should be angry. Her peaceful demeanor disturbed him.
.
Evening came. He went home and met his peaceful wife again. She was cooking and laughing with their children. She had come from work two hours ago.The dinner was enjoyable. Good food, she having warm conversations with the children. He as the father felt left out. His wife and children seemed to be having fun despite him hurting them. After dinner, as she washed the dishes and the children had gone to bed. He approached her. "Are you OK?" he asked her. "I am more than OK. I am blessed "She answered. "Are you not mad at me? After all that I am doing and have done wrong?" he asked. She placed the washed plate in the rack then looked at him and said, "I asked myself, what is the most important relationship in my life? The one I have with you or the one with God? And I realized it is the one with God.
.
I live for God, not for you. Marrying you was a blessing but it is not all there is in life. God has blessed me with life and I will not waste it crying because of the hurt you cause me to feel "She picked up a dirty glass and began washing it. "I realized I had given you too much power... Yes, you are my husband, the closest human being in my life and the human being I love the most; but you are not God. You have failed me but God never fails me. I will not let you ruin my joy, my peace and my progress. You break our marriage if you want to, but I will hold on to God. And as I hold on to God, I will be full of joy despite what you do "She said rinsing the glass. She looked at him and continued, "When you hurt me and disrespected me, I realized I was acting out like a woman who has no Jesus. I got mad and hurled insults, I wanted to revenge and I allowed you to mess me day after day. My performance at work went down, I talked less to our children, I became bitter to the children, I felt sorry for myself, I developed ulcers. And then I realized, I have God, I shouldn't act like someone with no relationship with God. Why should I be hopeless yet God is with me? I had focused so much on you that I forgot about God. When you found me, I had God. We dated and got married and I let everything be about you because I wanted to make our marriage work. Our marriage became the idol I worship instead of the blessing I have in God. Our marriage is failing apart because of you but my relationship with God is still intact "She scrubbed the sufuria. "You have chosen to abandon our marriage but that doesn't mean my whole world has collapsed. I will still continue being a good mother to our children. They will never say the problems between mom and dad, made mom a monster. You do as you please with other women, I will raise our children. "
.
She looked at him and told him, "Do I hate you? No, it will be a lie to say I hate you. You are the man I married, the one I vowed to; the one I love "Tears fell down her cheeks. She wiped them. "I can't just cancel all the years we've been together. The Bible asks us to love our enemies. If I am able to love my enemies, surely I can still love you despite all you have done. I am angry and disappointed, but I have taken my power back. I live for God who has exceedingly blessed me, not for you and the pain you cause "She wiped her wet hands, took the apron from her body and told him, "In my peace, I am planning on where the children and I will move to. Since you have chosen to have an affair, you have shown clearly that you don't need us. So we will not make your life uncomfortable by forcing you to live with us. You need to be able to bring the woman you are cheating with to your own house. I am working on something. I came into this house in peace and I will leave in peace. You will not kill my smile and shine "She walked to the bedroom. Minutes later. He followed her to the bedroom. He found her peacefully asleep.He nudged her. He woke her up and said, "Please don't go, don't move out. I will hurt you no more, I will cheat no more. I am not OK. I want the peace you have. I want to be the kind of husband and you are as a wife. "Since that day, he has been a reformed man. No more affairs, no more hurting her, no flirting with other women, or endless fights. She didn't move out. She and the children stayed. He submitted to God and learnt how to be a good husband, Love is powerful enough to humble the most proud heart.

LAW OF LIFE - real happiness

When a newspaper reporter interviewed a farmer who grew Award-Winning Corn each year he entered his corn in the state fair, it was revealed that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours. Perplexed, the reporter asked, “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering their corn in competition with yours each year?”
.

.
The farmer smiled and explained, “The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior corn, Cross-Pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn.”
.
So it is with our lives. Those who want to live meaningfully and well, must help enrich the lives of others. For the value of a life, is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy, must help others find happiness; the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
Call it power of collectivity. Call it a principle of success. Call it a law of life. The fact remains, “None of us truly wins, until we all win.”
.
Know this secret as you grow older! In life, when you help the people around you to be good, you surely become the best. Always bear in mind that "Real happiness is helping others". And that’s the greatest commandment.

BLESSED IS HE WHOM GOD HELPS

Long time ago there lived a great king and two beggars who always stood at the gate of his palace everyday. As the king rode by everyday, the 1st beggar would say 'blessed is he whom the king helps' while the 2nd beggar would say 'blessed is he whom God helps'.
.

.
The king always felt pleased to hear the praise of the 1st beggar. One evening the king decided to reward the 1st beggar for all the praise; he ordered his baker to bake a cake and wrapped gold inside the cake. The next day as he rode by, he gave the cake to the 1st beggar as he hailed him as usual.
.
The 1st beggar who was in dire need of cash sold the cake to the 2nd beggar at a cheap price. When the 2nd beggar cut open the cake he saw the gold, sold them and became a wealthy man. He did not return back to the kings gate the next day.
.
As the king rode out of his palace the next day, he saw the 1st beggar still begging for money and stopped to ask him if he ate the cake he gave him. The 1st beggar replied and said no sir, I sold it to my friend who was here with me yesterday; I have not seen him today. The king shook his head highly disappointed and confessed silently to himself, " Indeed, Blessed is he Who God helps"
.
Our God is the all knowing God, HE has not forgotten you. God always does His work just in time. Trust God rather than man.

THE FABLE OF PORCUPINE - get inspired

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.
.

.
After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice; either to accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learnt to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth and heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.
.
The best group is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities. Better to be surrounded by warm pokes than be frozen in solitude.

ALL ABOUT LOVE - to all my friends

TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE MARRIED:
Love is not about “it’s your fault”, but “I’m sorry”, not “where are you’ but “I’m right here”, not “how could you” but “I understand”, not “I wish you were”, but “I’m thankful you are.”

TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE ENGAGED:
The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how good you are for each other.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE NOT SO SINGLE:
Love isn’t about becoming somebody else’s “perfect person.” It’s about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE HEARTBROKEN:
Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE NAIVE (How to be in love):
Fall but don’t stumble, be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, and get hurt but never keep the pain.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE SEARCHING:
True love cannot be found where it does not truly exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Love is magic. The more we hide it, the more it shows; the more you suppress it, the more it grows.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE POSSESSIVE:
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but it’s more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE AFRAID TO CONFESS:
Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE STILL HOLDING ON:
A sad thing about life is that when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be, we just have to let go.
.
TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE SINGLE:
Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you just let it fly, it would come to you when you least expect it.

THE GIRL CHILD IS AN ASSET IN YOUR HAND - A well managed girl grows to become a young woman, loving wife and a caring mother.

As Mr. Kenny entered his office complex that morning, a chorus of ''congratulations sir, congratulations sir'', filled the air. Everybody knew what this meant to him, and they were happy for him.

He had endured such a long wait for Mary, his wife, to give him a baby boy. It has not been easy though. What with all the pressure he had to contend with amongst his friends and especially his relations - a development that has caused a lot of strain in their marriage of over twelve years.
.
When the first issue came and turned out to be a girl, kenny's family had threatened fire and brimstone, that Mary having a female child as the first issue was an affront to their wealthy and aristocratic family. Their family, they claimed, are known for having male children. If any of them has a female child at all, it is normally one, and almost always as the last child.
.
Mary, anxious to please her in-laws and keep her home, began to run from pillar to post. People came forward to proffer solutions to her 'problem'. After she tried all kinds of suggestions to aid her having a boy but still ended with a second girl, she resigned herself to God. She threw away all concoction and decided to focus on God. The third issue came, yet a girl, but she was not perturbed. She reasoned that God must have a purpose for giving her these girls. Although she wished she had a boy to please her husband, she was no longer unduly agitated. The home became turbulent, with Kenny having bouts of temper, but her new found faith and confidence in God kept her on. Now the Lord has looked down on her and given her a male child to please her husband.
.
God never makes a mistake. The choice of your child's gender is not human but divine. And there is no indication of subordination of one sex to the other creation. The tiny baby girl in your hand is an asset of inestimable value. But then, that depends on the way you handle her. Like an egg, when allowed to hatch, it develops into a hen that in turn produces many more chicks; but if mishandled and it pricks prematurely, then, you lose a great asset. A well managed girl grows to become a young woman, loving wife and a caring mother.

THE PRE-EMINENCE OF LOVE

What is LOVE? It's silence when your words would hurt and patience when your neighbours curt, deafness when the scandal flows and thoughtfulness for another's woes, promptness when a stern duty calls and courage when misfortune falls; slow to suspect but quick to trust, slow to condemn but quick to justify, slow to offend but quick to defend, slow to expose but quick to shield, slow to reprimand but quick to forbear, slow to demand but quick to give, slow to provoke but quick to pacify, slow to hinder but quick to help, slow to resent but quick to forgive. [1 corin 13: 4, 5]

Being loved is the second best thing in the world while loving someone is the best. When you love, you do yourself a favour; for you open floodgates of love from others to you. Hatred or a feeling of revenge does more harm to the hater than the hated. This is because the hater bears alone the tearing within, of a deep-seated, untreated wound everywhere he/she goes.
.
Life is short. The brevity of time leaves no room for man to harbour hatred or bad blood for past hurts; past is past. Let go and let God have his way. You have just a single life, and it's held by a string of love, strengthened or weakened by you, and you alone. A healthy life is founded on good deeds, floodlight of love and flushes of forgiveness, so that the heart remains free from hatred and the blood free from bitterness.
.
God is love and love is life. God has made love cheap yet many can't afford it; just a little smile, a little deed of kindness, a little patience and tolerance with one another, a little tuning of the mind off others' misdeeds. Yet, for no just cause, man chooses to do otherwise, which makes life remain worthless. To choose God is to choose love. To choose love is to choose life. Then, love is the greatest of all [1 corin 13: 13]. We are enjoined to love our neighbour but, we don't have to agree to any of his/her errors or ungodly ideas, because love rejoices only in the truth [ 1 corin 13: 6]

ROMEO AND JULIET versus GRANDPA AND GRANDMA love

It's a man's responsibility to provide for the home; in fact the last time a woman did, they were both kicked out of the garden of Eden (on the lighter side though). Brethren, make money before ''thinking'' of women. Even in the bible, (Job) comes before (Romans). You find some graduates bragging that they can't do some jobs just because they got a degree. Just to remind you, a thermometer has got 100 degrees, yet it works under armpits. Stay humble.

The point is that prior proper preparation prevents poor performance. [''He who swallows a complete coconut must have absolute trust in his anus'' - MUGABE]. Focusing on how it begins at the expense of how it ends is like insulting the big mouth of the crocodile when you haven't finished crossing the river. True Love isn't Romeo and Juliet who died Together but Grandma and Grandpa who grew up together.

As ladies, don't be casted in (Acts) of spreading your legs like rumours because of the (Judges) he bought you or the fact that, ''he can make me ride (Micah)''. As guys, it's not all about her (Luke) and (Esther). [''Virginity is (one of) the best wedding gifts any man would receive from his newly wed wife but lately, there’s nothing as such any longer because it’ll have already been given out as a Birthday gift, token of Appreciation, Job assurance, Church collection, Examination marking schemes and for Lorry fares!” - MUGABE]. Who says husbands no more appreciate virginity as a gift. If you aren't a virgin any more, whether as a guy or as a lady, you can still make chastity a packaged gift to your spouse. Talking about the time for being chaste, the time starts now irrespective of being a male or a female. The time to prepare is now.

[''We are living in a generation where people 'in love' are free to touch each others' private parts but cannot touch each others' phones because they're 'private'” - MUGABE]. Celebration of continuous love isn't without a price. Whether guy or lady; trust, openness, partnership, tolerance and tenacity are gifts you can package for your spouse. Work on yourself to be just right for your partner. Remember how it all ends matters much. Guage the level of your preparation. If you take the low battery warning on your phone seriously, then better take this warning on preparation seriously too. To be fore warned is to be fore-armed. Don't let your lack of preparation promote divorce.

EMOTIONAL CUDDLES - friendship; attention; part seven (07)

        
.

       

.
Complimenting a well dressed person (especially ladies that put effort into it), appreciating kind gestures, celebrating friends on media (birthday and likes), informal phone calls, text messages without special occasions, leaving encouraging comments on posts and articles that bless you, being generous with smiles, not taking people's needs foregranted etc. are all examples of giving attention which many neglect. Attention can be seen as innocent emotional cuddles and nobody was created too BROKE to PAY attention. Enjoying attention may be more obvious with ladies but even Adam needed it. Every single person needs attention.
.

EMOTIONAL CUDDLES - friendship; attention; part seven (07)

Love could be defined as friendship set on fire but attention is one of the very cores of friendship. Attention is the rarest and purest form of generousity. It feels amazing to have someone's undivided attention, yet it's so easy to give less attention, without knowing it, to that one person we love or who loves us more than anything else. Attention is a sign that you care about your friendship with another person. It's selfish complaining no one sent you a seasonal message at a certain period without you sending to others; maybe the person has a right to complain you didn't send either. You musn't be the one being called all the time; why not put a call through to your friends/friend. You saw nine missed calls and it means nothing to you ( feeling If it's really important, he/she will call again), late replies to chats without explanations not to talk of no replies at all, one-one word chat messages when the other person is sending sentences etc.
.
Though one person can make a difference in improving the overall quality of the friendship, it is built on joint activities and common interest. Best friendships continue to thrive because each person makes their partner's needs just as important as their own. ''Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager'' - Susan Sontag. Giving quality attention is a gift from you to others and not for trade by barter. It's a character of those that influence lives. It's a virtue built on patience. He who desires to make friends must show himself friendly except you don't want to be friends with a particular person.
.
Love can be really painful but even more painful is when you are trying to stop it. It's so hard to pretend not to love a person when you really do. Authenticity always encompasses risks. Love's labour never gets lost; it just finds its way to places we fail to see; every experience is meant to make us better persons, if not, then the process you passed through becomes a waste. Love is a gift; loving someone over time only becuse you want something/love in return becomes a business. Years/time spent in stuffing emotions of desire without communicating it can backfire as emotional attatchment. Years of stuffing grief without facing those uncomfortable issues can backfire into a negative cycle of relationship.
.
The fuel of communication can be seen as attention. Clear communication can easily become priority if their isn't a need to hustle for attention. Receiving attention gives a welcome feeling. Over time it can build openess and freeness in the sphere of communications which enhances trust and connectivity. Attention attracts pure affection of love. A kid is easily drawn to his/her mum because of her attention which stirs affection. Some kids tend to love their dad more as they grow because he succeeds in paying attention to an area of their lives that suits their needs with respect to love language; so knowing the love language of your friend is an edge for better friendship since it gets you atuned with their needs, wants and desires the more.
.
As long as humanity is concerned, there's no different tribes without elements of similar vibes. No matter how different the genders, we can still have the same agenda. We shouldn't take advantage of our differences to invite hatred. Be quicker to listen and think than you are to speak. Patience builds far more than it repairs. Words either build emphatic bridges or create waste lands of distance between friends. Consciously give room for attention, to ehance healthy communication.

TRUST - friendship; the best way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; part eight (08)

        

.

       

.
["Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, because you might either get a wonderful view from the top or simply get covered in sap, and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors, where it's harder to get a splinter" - LEMONY SNICKET] The sphere of trust is where we share our deepest secrets and freely stand most exposed; where we sacrifice for others without losing ourselves. Trust may be risky since mistrust makes life difficult but distrust makes life a prison. ["Relationships of trust depend on our willingness to look not only to our interest, but also the interest of others." - PETER FARQUHARSON] ["It is more shameful to distrust one's friends than to be deceived by them" - FRANCOIS]. Be it friendship or relationship, all bonds are built on trust; without trust, you got no good foundation; no relationship without communication, no love without respect, no foundation without trust; without the foundation, there is no reason to continue building. Relationships void of trust where partners play detective is not worth keeping except the issue with trust can be successfully resolved.

TRUST - friendship; the best way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; part eight (08)

A relationship with no trust is like a cell phone with no service. All you do is play games. I can love you without trusting you. ["To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved" - GEORGE MACDONALD] It's not about terms and conditions or promises and loving declarations; a good relationship is built on trust and loyalty. One unique feature which the best of friendships can't exist without is trust. ["One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life" - E.M. FORSTER]. When a friend always tells you about her problems, it doesn't mean that he/she complains; it means he/she trusts you, except he tells every acquaintance about his/her problems. It's normal to feel jealous about friends of the opposite sex which you have even the slightest erotic attraction to, but uncool not to let your partner go out into the world, and trust that he/she will come back.
.
When you have a good heart, you trust and love too much and seemingly hurt the most. ["You may be deceived if you trust too much but you will live in torment unless you trust enough" - FRANK CRANE] Trust is letting go of needing to know all the details before you open your heart. Succeeding in cheating someone doesn't necessarily make the cheated a fool; it means the cheated only trusted the cheater more than he/she deserved. The fact that broken trust is disheartening doesn't stop distrust from being expensive; it hinders openness and a free flow in communication, tolerance and tenacity, faithfulness to commitments etc. The fact that humans can fail us doesn't mean we have to scan all the people we meet with a lens of distrust before trusting them; the knowledge that someone doesn't trust you will certainly affect your friendship with that person. The best of your future will remain a shadow of your past if you continue letting your past control your present. ["The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust" - ELIZABETH GILBERT] [ "ultimately, there can be no complete healing until we have restored our primal trust in life" - GEORG FEUERSTEIN]
.
["Without trust, words become hollow sounds of.a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself" - JOHN HAROLD] ["You can't shake hands with a clenched fist" - INDIRA GANDHI] ["Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great" - RALPH EMERSON] Don't just trust but be trustworthy. ["Trust and honesty is an investment you put in people" - RACHEL SCOTT]
