MY EXPERIENCE AS A BUS CONDUCTOR

  Photo source: Google "Geology in the bus" they laughed. After 4 years you're practicing Geology inside the bus. Well, I didn't give a blink about them, I issued out the ticket, got my money, and moved to the next client. Yes, the bus was footing my bills besides if I handed over the money that I made from the bus to them they'll not reject it because it's from the bus. So, I asked him  "If I give you the money ๐Ÿ’ต that I make from here will you reject it because it is from the bus?" I did not bother waiting for their response before moving the next passenger to issue the ticket. This was the response that I gave to one of the graduate assistants in my department who joined the metro blue I was serving as a ticketing officer in the Oban route years back. Well Don't be surprised by the fact that I worked as a conductor inside a bus...๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃticketing officer rather. I grew up with an independent mindset.

MOSES AND THE ROD

GOD: What is in your hand?  MOSES: A rod GOD: Ah! Just a rod? MOSES: It is what it is? GOD: Cast, it on the ground MOSES: Ah!! I didn't bargain for this. (He flee from it) GOD: Return, and pick it up again. Courageously, he held his hand out and picked up the serpent-turned rod. Moses had experienced the different dimensions of God right from his experience in the burning bush but he still doubted the call of God upon his life and the assignment God had assigned him. Moses looked for every possible way to restrain from answering the call of God upon his life. Your excuses are as valid in your life as you want them to be. If you believe you can you will but if you believe you can't you won't. This got God angry at him, as a child I felt pained over why God had refused him from entering the promised land after all his toil and suffering from Egypt. I felt God was wicked and mean towards him after all his plea to him...Father, I'm sorry ๐Ÿ’”  God sees more than we do and und...

THE INNER PROMPTINGS

  Praye r is the believer's weapon of victory  What do you do when you have the stirring within you to pray? Do you wave off the feeling? It can be tempting to ignore this prompting especially when you are feeling sleepy or amid an activity. I woke up at about 1:00 am on June 22nd, 2020. I did not wake up to pray but to make use of the restroom. It became difficult for me to sleep back afterward. I had a stirring in my heart to pray. There was no zeal to do so,  I needed to sleep so that I could catch up with the next day's activities. The stirring lingered on, it was a fight between my spirit man and physical man. My mouth couldn't just open. I was clueless about what to pray about, after about 30 minutes of struggle. I managed to open my mouth,  " Lord, I don't know why you want me to pray for this night. You know more than I do, take over and grant me the utterance" Well, no lines of prayer came out. I was still clueless about what to say or how to even sta...

ACT OF KINDNESS

 Hello, ๐Ÿ‘‹ How are you today? Success is not about how much money you make. it's about the difference you make in people's life.                      Michelle Obama Reflect on this...  To make impact in life, give more than what you intend to receive. The truth is, it will always have a way of coming back to you but when all you care about is what you'll receive, you may never smash the goal or attain the height that you're envisaging. You don't need a stage or podium before you can make a difference in people's lives. You don't even need all the money in this world to create a lasting impression in the heart of others. This morning, I was a little behind schedule leaving for work. Where I'm living I need to make use of the services of a motorcyclist before getting to the junction where I'll get a tricycle that would convey me to my office. We greeted and walked passed the lady whom I assume she was on her way to work as w...
