**************
2019 has been a year full of The Good, The Bad and The Best.For some people, you were able to achieve some part of your goals, and for some, you were not able to.
Don't beat yourself, there's a chance to make things better. So, here's my introduction, I'm not a fan of new year Resolutions!

In fact, I will say to you, "Say No To New Year Resolutions!". What you need is a new year Revolution. You have got to look at why you do the things you do and have a thought check, 
Otherwise they will follow you to the new year. 

We all need to ask ourselves this question;

 The way things are being done now, will we get to where we're going? 

If you're headed in the wrong direction, and you increase your speed, you are  only getting there faster. So, I want us to think on some things you need to do conciously to get the best from the new year.


So, are we ready for the first One?
 No.1
BOOKS

You need to make reading a habit.We do know that understanding only comes by information.In the good book, Daniel said , "I Daniel I understand by the books". There are various opportunities, information and connections you can get from reading a book. 
I personally have a goal to read 60 books this year even though I read 50 books last year.
Listen, you need to start reading!
Readers they say are leaders! And that's the sincere truth.I discovered that the books I read actually give me an edge. I look smarter than my age because I have information. When I get to some gatherings, I am able to relate well and contribute to some meaningful discussions because I have read about that topic before. Let me ask you, do you read the papers? New York Times,Tribune, Punch, This Day... I don't buy them, but I read them online. The internet has made life easy for us, you should know what's happening in the economy!. Okay,so "what's the update about The Budget?" I'm sure you're wondering, what on earth that will do to you or add to you. Let me teach you a trick, I don't even read the papers all the way, I have subscribed for news update, once the head line pops, I just read it, read the first few lines, middle, end and bam!, I'm ready for a discussion.

Never be caught silent when any issue is being raised. You need to know that the best deals are cut on the golf club, at the Clubs and sometimes at the hang outs!. But before they talk about deals, they start with current affairs, what's happening at different industries, Who is doing what and how...Once you can't contribute to the initial discussion, you can't be a part of the deal cutting process.

 Each time you open your mouth to speak, wisdom, information, Understanding must come out. The books you read give you the information you need to stand out. Please,  Please, Please, cultivate the habit of reading. Let's all add this habit to our daily routine. Let's spend less time on social media and more time on reading.

Preparing for the Second Coming: Living with Eternity in Mind as a Christian

  Photo by Sebastian Knoll on Unsplash  There lived a man named Samuel. Samuel was a kind-hearted and humble individual. He spent his days volunteering at the local shelter, assisting those in need, and spreading love and compassion wherever he went. One day, as Samuel was going about his usual routine, helping his neighbors and tending to his business when he noticed an unusual commotion in the town square. People were gathered, whispering amongst themselves with grave expressions on their faces. Curiosity piqued, Samuel made his way towards the crowd, eager to understand what was happening. As he approached, he overheard snippets of conversation mentioning the "rapture." Intrigued, Samuel inquired further, only to discover that according to the beliefs of some, the rapture was an event where the righteous would be taken up to heaven, leaving the rest of humanity behind to face a time of great tribulation. As the discussion unfolded, Samuel realized that some people were act...

Finding Solace In The Waters

  Jared Erondu In a bustling city, there lived a man named Thomas who was burdened with worries and anxieties. One day, a friend suggested that he take a break from the chaos of city life and visit a nearby waterfall known for its tranquil beauty. Reluctantly, Thomas embarked on the journey, unsure of what to expect. As he approached the waterfall, he was mesmerized by the sight of the water cascading down the rocks, creating a symphony of sound. The mist from the waterfall gently kissed his face, and a sense of calm enveloped his troubled heart. Thomas found a quiet spot by the waterfall and sat in silence, allowing the soothing sound of rushing water to wash away his worries. In that moment, he felt a profound connection with God. The sight and sound of the waterfall became a metaphor for God's grace and healing power, washing away the burdens of his soul. From that day forward, Thomas made it a habit to visit the waterfall regularly. Each time, he would pray, meditate, and find ...

How to Cultivate Gratitude

  In the busy and often overwhelming pace of modern life, it can be easy to overlook the countless blessings that God bestows upon us each and every day. From the air we breathe to when we overcome bad situations to the loved ones who fill our lives. Yet the gifts of our Heavenly Father are abundant, and often underappreciated.  However, cultivating a spirit of gratitude is not only pleasing to God, but it also has the power to transform our perspective and enrich our lives in profound ways. By intentionally recognizing and embracing the daily blessings that surround us, we can find greater joy, peace, and contentment, even amidst life's challenges. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. - James 1:17 KJV Recognizing God's Blessings The first step in cultivating gratitude is to train our eyes and hearts to see the blessings of God all around us—it's like seeing ...
