Say 'No' To Kidnapping: Real Life Lessons From A Teenager's Story..
"This girl has already been used for Sacrifice. Infact she has been accepted by the god she was sacrificed to."
"We cannot even use her at all. Go and get another person."
You say what?
I didn't know whether I should be excited or concerned about what the old man said.
My name is Precious, Nineteen years of age. I was returning home on the last night of "IMPACT" the Youth Convocation Program organized by my Church when I boarded a wrong cab.
None of I and the two passengers in the cab knew that the driver and the 'passenger' in the front seat were both partners in crime and they were in fact kidnappers.
The driver pretended to take a detour which was a road rarely used by vehicles and as soon as we got to a deserted area, his partner who I eventually learned his name was Bright brought out a gun and pointed it towards us. He collected our bags and phones.
Only then did the truth dawn on us: We had been kidnapped.
As soon as I realized what was happening, I started praying within me.
Strangely, as I tried to pray, the song the guest music minister sang at the crusade*"Receive this living sacrifice"* was just coming to my mind. Eventually, I gave in and started singing the song softly.
The two people beside me: an elderly woman and a young man who I guessed should be in his thirties were so scared and were already whimpering especially since one of the men had guns pointed to us. For reasons beyond me, I was calm.
The vehicle soon arrived a remote place.
*"What is this place?"* I wondered.
I took few minutes to take in the environment and noticed that there were only three structures there with one looking like a shrine.
At that point, my tongue went loose and I started to pray in tongues.
The man and the woman besides me heard me and they looked shocked.
The vehicle stopped and as if on cue, two hefty men came out of one of the structures that looked like a lodge and trotted towards the vehicle..
The driver and his partner didn't highlight. I concluded their own was just to drop us and leave.
"*We've been waiting for you since morning."* One of the men who I observed was limping as it looked like one of his legs shorter than the other said to the driver and his partner.
*"Sorry, there was a bit of hold up. You know there is a crusade they are doing"* Bright explained.
*"Okay*." The man who had spoken earlier replied and nodded towards his partner who had been silent all along.
The latter came to the side of the back seat and opened the door.
I watched as he dragged the shouting woman out of the vehicle and towards the shrine with the other man leading the way.
*"You know the drill now ?*" The man shouted back at the driver.
"*Yes. We will wait to see if they will all be accepted."* He shouted back.
"*Exactly*." The man replied and I watched as they walked into the shrine.
*"Auntie, shey you cannot pray ni?* You look like an SU." The young man beside me whispered in shaky voice.
I looked at him pitifully. I didn't even know what to say.
Eventually I spoke; "*.*
*"Please...*" He started when I and the guy noticed that the other man who had gone with the limping man had stepped out into the open and was now walking towards the vehicle.
The driver saw him too.
"*That woman was accepted Sha. Eya."*
I shivered.
*"Lord, do something to take me out of here."* I prayed within me.
I watched as the man came to my side of the door.
*"Father, what did you say about me being the apple of your eyes ?" I* groaned.
TO BE CONTINUED!!!

Failure As An Assistance In Disguise..
***Success does not consist of not making a mistake, but in never making the same one a second time - George Shaw.***
Don't spend a million dollar worth of time for a penny worth of results. Success does not come from holding a good hand, but in not playing from a poor hand well.
The only sure way to fend off criticisms in life is to do nothing, and be nothing. Those who inevitably stare up criticism (became empowered financially). It is not the man with a motive but the man with a purpose that prevails. The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
The problem with us most of us is that we stop trying in trying times. This I discovered about failure; it begs you to stop trying so that it can take over the order of the day.
The drops of rain make a hold in the stone, not by violence, but by constant dropping. Therefore, keep trying, dare to fail, for *"failure is never final and success is never ending"- DR Robert Schuller.*
We learn more by exploring, not by retracting well known paths. And in order to explore, there is always a high possibility of making a mistake. The path to knowledge which requires the freedom within ourselves to make mistakes is the only way to gain true wealth and financial success. Failure is the tuition fee you need to pay for the longevity of your life.
Every failure is a lesson that drives a person to try a new approach never tried before.
I have said this a countless number of times, and I keep repeating it to people, that failure is a part of life just as much as success, there are two sides to a coin, and it is impossible to always get the head, without getting the tail and vice versa.
To succeed, you must fail, and that failure will be that force that aims at driving you on to succeed. It is actually an assistance, never ever meant to pull you down, but to make you much stronger.
Failure is the only universal language in which nature cries out to us when we will listen not to any other language. It isn't what you profess that counts, but what you do that matters. The world is moving so fast, that action has tactfully driven away inaction.
Inaction is the fastest route to the graveyard. Inaction kills faster than any deadly disease. Stop dreaming of dreams, stop thinking or brooding, you need to start acting.
Finally, the surest way to financial empowerment (Arguous Edunasthen) is the you created In other people, and not the them created in you. The you created in others lasts longer than yourself, because you will only be recognized, appreciated and celebrated by what you give, and not what you were given.
**Conclusion**
Listen to the conclusion of the whole matter folks, Failure isn't the end of the world, cos it's always an assistance in disguise.

Never Stop Believing: Lessons From The Cancer Specialist..
Dr. Abraham, a well known cancer specialist, was once on his way to an important conference in another city where he was going to receive an award in the field of medical research.
He was excited about the award and so boarded a plane to the venue. However, two hours after the plane took off, it made an emergency landing at the nearest airport due to a technical problem.
Afraid that he would not make it in time to the conference, he immediately went to the reception to make enquiries. He found out that he would have to wait ten hours for the next flight to his destination! He rented a car and drove himself to the conference city which was four hours away.
Soon after he left, the weather changed and a heavy storm began.
The downpour made it difficult for him to see so he missed a turn he was supposed to take.
Driving in the heavy rain on a deserted road, feeling hungry and tired, he frantically began to look for any sign of civilization. He came across a small tattered house and knocked on the door.
A beautiful lady opened the door. He explained his situation and wanted to use the lady's telephone but she had no telephone. She however asked him to come inside and wait till the weather improved. The doctor who was hungry and exhausted accepted the offer. The lady offered him something to eat and drink.
She asked him to join her in prayers but he declined. According to him, he believed in hard work, not in prayers! Sitting at the table and sipping his tea, the doctor watched the woman pray many times beside a baby's crib. Feeling that the woman might be in need of help, the doctor asked her what exactly she needed from God and asked if God ever listened to her prayers.
When he inquired of the child in the crib, the woman explained that her son was down with cancer. And they had been advised to see a doctor named Abraham who could cure him but she did not have enough money to afford his fees.
She said that God had not yet answered her prayers but said that God would create some way out one day. She added that she would not allow her fears to overcome her faith!
Stunned and speechless, Dr. Abraham began to weep! He was forced to say out loud, "GOD IS GREAT" and recollected to the woman, all the sequence of bad events: malfunction on the plane, a thunderstorm and how he lost his way. All of which had happened because God answers prayers, wanted to give him a chance to come out of his bondage of materialistic career pursuit and give some time to a poor, helpless woman who had nothing but rich prayers!
Oh! What a God!
**Lessons Derived**
•God may not answer your prayers YOUR WAY but He will always answer HIS way.
•Behind the scenes, He will move men, the weather, events, circumstances, etc. in order to work out the best for you!
•Do not stop trusting!
•Do not stop hoping!
•Hold on!
•Hold out!
•Look up daily!

TITLE: NEVER STOP BELIEVING.
Everything Happens For A Reason: Lessons From The King's Servant Story..
A King had a male servant who in all circumstances no matter how tough they were always told him; *"My King, do not be discouraged because Everything happens for a reason ".* One day they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't save his majesty from losing a finger.
Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said; *"If God was good, I wouldn't have been attacked and lost a finger."* The servant answered and said: *"despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything he does is perfect, he is never wrong.".*
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant. While he was taken to prison, he again said to the king*: "Everything happens for a reason.* *God never makes mistakes".*
Another fateful day, the king rose very early in the morning and went alone for another hunt and this time around, he was captured by a gang of savages who use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the savages discovered that the king did not have a finger in place, he was freed because he was not considered *"complete"* to be offered to the gods.
On his return to the palace, he ordered the release of his servant and said; *"My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but for lack of a single finger, I was let go".*
*"But I have a question" ;* The servant replied, "*ask my king".* The king then said *"If God is so good, why did he allow me put you in prison? His servant answered; My king, if I hadn't been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and I would have been sacrificed, because I don't have a missing finger".*
**Conclusion**
Everything happens for a reason, and whatever God does is perfect, he is never wrong. Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that everything happens for a purpose. God is good and perfect!!
My dear friend, a good attitude will determine your altitude. When you look at your life, your career, your work or your family life, what do you say? Do you praise God? Do you blame Satan?
A right attitude towards God moves him forward on your behalf. Sit down and say: *Today, I'm grateful to have had a peaceful sleep, I'm grateful to be alive with possibilities, I'm happy to have a roof over me, I'm grateful to have a job, I'm grateful to have family and friends. Above all, I am grateful to have God in my life.*
Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others prosper because you don't know what they went through to get there (trials and tribulations) so thank God for what you have.
*"Little is a lot when God is in it"..*
It's good with the grace of God. I know this message has touched someone's life. Have a Nice weekend.

Dealing With Writers' Block- Just Another Rant..
`22nd April,2022.`

I have a lot of questions popping in my head right now, and I am kinda struggling to find just the right set of answers to them. I doubt that would be possible, and I've come to understand the logic of life.
Many a times it seems life has been designated to always be a rollercoaster, that is, it gives you it's good side, and you are like, yes thanks life, and all of a sudden, the coin flips and it shows you the other side.
You feel you have all you could ever hope for, what else do you need..?. Nothing right, then it suddenly strikes you, more like the explosion of an atomic bomb.
I was having a chit-chat with a friend of mine, who we recently met online on Facebook. He was probably a little bit older than I am, and although we finished secondary school virtually the same year, he was more desperate than I was, and instead of prioritising going to college and take the long cut, he decided to sought for greener pastures by taking the short cut.
A few of you that can relate knows that I stay in South West of Nigeria, pretty much in the same area as my friend, but as I was saying he decided to take his own path, and he relocated to the North, according to him, he met a few faces, and they introduced him to an "Illegal" business.
To cut the long story short, his gang was apprehended, he managed to be the only survivor, and escaped, and came back and started living in Lagos, where he met another set of guys, and started "Online Scamming", popularly called YAHOO here.
He has made it now, through it, and while speaking to me, he told me his conscience pricks him every day, cos of the swindling and he has now realised how bad it is.
Now my question to him was" Why Engage In it in the first place..?"
**TODAY'S ARTICLE**
I'm pretty sure you all would have noticed that I have been struggling to write here, and I guess it's a result of frustration caused by the visits of the Artificial Intelligence @TheRandomRewarder , and also writers block.
Here is what happened...
Two days ago, I was meant to share a valuable content and also engage different articles but I found out that I wasn't able to write. I tried recalling some experiences I've had in the past and other things but I was practically blank. I was so worried that I had to contact my accountability partner as usual and then he said something that struck me...
"It's a very normal thing to deal with writers' block as a writer. The fact that you are not able to write for a few days does not make you less of a writer. You feel writing comes from your head but most times, that's not how it works. You will only do yourself more harm than good if you keep on getting worried about writing. Inspiration to write, most times arises from experiences you have had or heard others have. Let it flow naturally without panicking. Meanwhile, the fact that you didn't write for few days does not stop your audience from being your audience. They are still your audience." (Paraphrased)
After he said those things, I felt peace within me. I wasn't pressured to stress my brain about writing anymore. I went on with my normal activities with the thoughts of; "The fact that I didn't write for a few days does not stop my audience from being my audience. I will put up a post, soon." And yes! I did put up a post.
How has that helped me? You might ask... Yes! It helped me to feel less pressured to write. I wouldn't want to be dealing with anxiety even while dealing with writers' block so I had to calm down.
***Dear writers,***
The best way to deal with writers' block is not to panic or fear. When you notice writers' block has come to visit you, calm down, welcome it with an open mind (it's not a sickness 😅). As soon as you are calm and there is no panic whatsoever in your heart, you can take to reading if you can and I assure you that ideas will flow naturally. Reading with the fear of "writers' block" in your heart will only make things complicated.
Finally, writers' block is not a disease. It's normal for you as a writer to experience one. Treat it nice when it comes.
How have you been able to overcome writers' block as a writer? Let me know in the comment section. I'd love to learn from you, too.
Thanks for reading, Stay Blessed, Michael loves y'all.

Random Rants: Three Figure Subscribers Finally Unlocked..
`19-04-2022`
Lead Image: Designed using Canva.
Hello Everyone!! Happy Easter Monday to y'all. It's a public holiday over here, and have been locked indoors all day, struggling from a little bit of fatigue from yesterday's celebration.
Throughout yesterday, I was in overwhelming and jubilant moods, how did you celebrate your Easter, care to share..?. Kindly Drop your comments.
Oh and lest I forget, am pretty sure you might be wondering just why I started by greeting a happy Easter Monday even though it's Tuesday in real life. Well, this article was 20 hrs late in publishing, and this particular piece was only just attached by this writer now.
Various hurdles are encountered in life and one of them which completely disrupted my plans for this article is Electricity. How sad right..?.
I read an article by @Captainkay where he was talking about his phone not charging, and I only laughed it off when I did, wondering if my super strong charger or cell phone can ever stop charging. But oops, as God will have it, the Disaster struck. I would prefer calling it a disaster cos it caught me off guard.
It was on Friday evening, and I was only chillaxing in my room as usual (NB: There isn't any word as chillaxing, it's a word this writer coined from chilling and relaxing 😁), then suddenly the room brightened up, electricity came up as usual, and I plugged my phone to the main socket in my room and went outside, just to buy something and satisfy the masticating urge in me.
On getting back, I didn't go straight to my room cos a neighbour called me and I had to sort out a few issues, almost sadly I asked why his TV wasn't switched on cos it was a thing for us to always hear loud blazing sounds of music from his room whenever there was light.
Then he went on to say that it was a high current and it could burn anything. immediately remembered charging my phone and rushed to my room, and alas, the smell that came out was that of something burnt. My charger was burnt, I remember getting it for $3.
Immediately the light went off, like seriously..?. The deed was done, and the behind the scenes string master decided to call off all action. I dunnot feel that makes any bit of sense, probably you can relate with me on that cos I feel dejected right now. Well it's merely an ordinary charger, I will get one as soon as I find the right one, but the consequences it brought with it was my writing here.
This is my form of ranting and I just don't know why everything decided to follow this track, I am pretty despondent and crestfallen all thanks to PHCN[Power Holding Corporation Of Nigeria]. They could have held their lights in their hands and even chewed it for all I care, but no, they decided to make me their next victim. It's hard finding an authentic charger over here, and for the time being I just gotta keep patching.😩😩.
Although, I have been lending a charger from a friend whose room is next to mine though, but still it doesn't feel any different, you know, it wouldn't feel like having yours. And just yesterday when I had a full battery thanks to the guy, my Network flopped. I'm having more than 1GB, but yet sending ordinarily a Whatsapp message wasn't going through. MTN at its worst, it had always been right..?.
So my APOLOGIES to everyone of you that haven't been seeing me on your Articles as usual, I promise to make it up to you.
**TODAY'S ARTICLE**
You might probably be awestruck, if I were to tell you that I spent more than 3 good hours being active here, and trying to figure out what to write, I engaged some notifications of different articles, but what to write on didn't appear forthcoming to my senses.
Over the past week, I have been trying to keep up that pace of writing everyday, but I guess it's pretty much difficult. My never say die attitude surely has me thinking I can do this, it has me thinking I can defy all odds. But here was I, lost on what to write.
Suddenly I tapped myself and remembered reaching the 100 subscribers milestone, that would make a decent headline I thought, and here we are.
To start with, I appreciate everyone of you, from all subscribers to commentators, upvoters, tippers, and sponsors. You all have been extremely wonderful and I can't just find the right words to express my gratitude for your meaningful contribution. You all have instilled confidence into me.
That feeling of seeing that you have gained a new friend in your quest for superstardom is quite amazing, what's more..?. It isn't ordinarily a friend but a subscriber, someone that loves your work, and deems it worthy to be part of that list.
When I started writing here, I went through a lot of articles, and I did see a lot of astonishing numbers in terms of subscribers, and to crown it all, I was only starting from zero. Damn!!. It was as crazy as it sounded.
I wrote on my first week about 30+ subscribers, it was actually nothing, but I am a kind of person that does likes celebrating the smallest of achievements. From that moment though, I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
But, I made up my mind, and the growth was steady and rapid. I made sure to pay every detail into everything, made sure to improve my skills set, made my articles much more invaluable and you guys really made my day. I don't mean to be pompous or anything, am only being appreciative here. My gratitude to you once again.
I had patiently being waiting for this day, a day I finally will have a 3 digit subs. What if I wake up tomorrow and see zero..?. Haha. Then you are definitely killing me. Lol. Let's Pop Champagne 🥂

Health Is Wealth, Do Not Think Otherwise...
The era we all find ourselves in human history, is a most wonderful time time in terms of longevity and physical fitness. It is a proven fact that you can live longer and better today than has been ever imaginable.
Barring all external and metaphysical exigencies, especially in an African setting, such as ours, one should aim to live at least 90 years of age and above in excellent health, and it is possible if you decide to.
The very first thing to do is to realise that your health is and should be your leading priority. You should consider it as pivotal as your wealth, riches and money.
Of course, this particular adage goes a long way, and in another meaning might mean a sick person can by no means be in enjoyment. A sick person cannot enjoy his wealth no matter how hard he tries.
When you finally accept the axion, then you need to ask yourself what your current health habits are, and also ask whether or not your way of life today will get you to the desired age(90 years or above) in great shape.
There are three(3) major keys to long life in happiness and joy!
• Getting your weight under control: Proper weight is essential to living long when your weight is under control, you will remain lean and fit for the rest of your life. Did you know there are five words antidote to over weight..?. It is: " EAT LESS AND EXERCISE MORE". I just told you a secret, try it, it definitely works.
• Proper dieting: The Key to proper dieting is to eat better food and less amount of them. One should eat more lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, eliminate candies, biscuits, deserts, and soft drinks and infact whatever contains sugar from your life.
Furthermore, refrain from consuming extra salt apart from what is cooked in your food. Refrain from eating white flour products. It is better to eat in smaller quantities five times a day rather than three large meals and please, it is imperative to drink a lot of water. The adage water is the source of life, should not be ignored, but rather strictly adhered to.
NB: If you are able to control your eating habits, you will find it much easier to control other habits in your life as well.
• Proper Exercise: This is another key to proper health. Engage in vigorous physical activity for an average of 200 minutes per week, at least thirty minutes per day, three to five days per week. You have to set clear goals for your health and fitness level. Make a plan, and follow it to the core. This might be a little bit arduous, cos it requires self mastery, control, agility and discipline, but the benefits are tremendous.
Few days ago, I read an article written by @Ellen.he and she mentioned something I felt was particularly intriguing, she made me truly understand why exercise is pivotal to the body, as she said she likes cycling. Honestly, I jogged on mornings before, mostly on weekends, but I never knew Cycling was a lot better. This further strengthens the fact that Exercise Is a cogent key to good health.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If your financial goal is to achieve a net worth in excess of a million dollars, your health goal should be to live as long as possible so that you can enjoy a wonderful lifestyle with your hard earned money.
Remember Health is Wealth, Do Not Think Otherwise..

The Evils Called Jealousy And Inferiority..
Image Source: Designed using canva.
*Jealousy is an inner consciousness of ones own inferiority. It is a mental cancer.- B.C .Forbes.*
Hello Read Stars!!. Your friend and favourite writer is here. Hope you all had a productive day ?. Before I proceed, permit me to ask you a question. Do you think jealousy and inferiority have the same meanings, or they are pretty different ?.
Well, I guess you must be trying to figure out the answer to that. You can take your time. But in this article, I will be sharing an experience I had as regards them and how I was able to rid myself off them.
Yesterday, I was going through a young lady's Instagram page who happens to be a song minster and a guitarist.
I felt so impressed at how a young lady could be so talented and intentional in such manner. I didn't know when I started feeling jealous at her feat. Truth be told, I started feeling insecure, and intimidating.
I didn't know when I started wishing I was the one who was singing and playing the guitar. I was about going deep into my wishes and imaginations when I caught myself.
My gosh, I've got talents, too. Why do I need to stress myself over someone who is showcasing her naturally given talent? She's a song minister who is meant to influence people's lives through her songs while I am a writer who is meant to influence people's lives through my words.
I felt better. I no longer felt jealous anymore. I felt really secured and happy for her.
Inferiority is the lack of self-worth, a doubt and uncertainty about oneself, and feelings of not measuring up to standards. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extremely asocial behavior.
When you feel inferior or jealous, you'll naturally want to be better than the source of such inferior feeling. It'll stem a need for competition in you. You'll want to beat them at every step.
Every single action of the other will make you feel jealous. They have better hair, better clothes, better grades. Such thoughts will plague you. It's very easy for these feelings to amplify into something much sinister.
Now, to the reason I'm writing this. You see, it's a very normal thing to feel inferior in different ways. It shows you're human, after all. But how long are you letting that evil of inferiority and jealousy last in your heart ?
What is that fruit that jealousy is breeding in your heart? You really need to call yourself back together by thinking about the good thing in your life, when you find yourself jealous.
While remembering the good things in your life, do make sure it's not a way to compare your feat with the other person's feat as it will only breed hatred and jealousy. The major aim of thinking about the good thing in your life is to show gratitude and to realize you're not that useless as you might think. It's not for comparison of any kind.
Jealousy is one of the many products that arise from the complex web of inferiority. Do well to shun them.
To make sure of this, I challenge you to always do your possible best in steering clear of jealousy and inferiority whenever they visit your heart because when this evils aren't dismissed they may result into hatred. And why should you develop hatred of any kind for people that didn't wrong you..?
How have you been able to conquer jealousy and Inferiority? Let me know in the comment section. I'd love to learn from you, too.

The Last Register....
`11th April, 2022`
You might be wondering what on Earth I mean with the last register. Erase your worries though, as it is ready to be replaced with clarification. Let's dive!
A register according to Wikipedia may be defined as something that is written down so that there is a record (written proof) of something. It may, for example be a list of names that has been well documented.
But behold beloved, you are entitled to know that they are register and there are registers. When a child is to start schooling, he/she must be registered. When someone is promoted from a class to the other, he/she must be registered.
When someone is employed in an organization, he/she is registered. When a patient gets to the hospital, before being attended to, he/she must be registered. When a man and a woman are getting married, they are registered, Before someone can travel abroad, he/she needs to be registered. There is virtually no meaningful thing that one does without being registered.
Gradually, we are getting there, but still all these are just preambles.
Do you Know that, One may claim to have been registered in all the pre-mentioned register and still live a miserable life.
According to *Revelation 20:12 (KJV),* which says and I quote:
*"Anyone whose name was not found in the book of life, was thrown into the lake of fire" .*
This actually stresses how important it is for one to be saved, God is not asking whether or not you are educated, healthy, wealthy, well connected, religious, knowledgeable, or influential, but he's asking if you have been saved.
Are you born again ?. Is your name written in the book of life ?. Are you hopeful of heaven ?. If death comes calling in the next minute, where will you spend your eternity ?. Where will you be when the last trumpet sounds unannounced ?.
*"And whosoever was not found written in the book of Life, was cast into the lake of fire - Revelation 20: 15 (NIV)*
God is more interested in your soul that was why he sent his only begotten son (Jesus Christ)- John 3: 16. He demonstrated his own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us - Romans 5:8.
God loves you just as you are, Are you a liar, fornicator, thief, fraudster, smoker, adulterer, or drunkard. He does loves you. He doesn't want you to die in your sins, and that's why he's calling you today; tomorrow might be too late.
Are you ready to be registered in the Lord's book which is the last and most important register, then you must do the following:
***Admitt yourself as a sinner.***
***Repent and be converted***
***Confess and forsake all known sins***
***Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour***
***Join a Bible believing Church to grow your faith.***
*Congratulations and welcome to the Lord's family!.*
***Author's Message***
Howdy Folks!!... My appreciation goes to all my amazing friends, writers, subscribers and sponsors. Thanks for your support, I am grateful.
I hope you find this write up useful.

Hits And Misses On A Thrilling Super Sunday..
`10th April, 2022.`
Hey Everyone!! What's up..?. I hope you all commemorated the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in style. Of course, it's officially the beginning of the holy week as is the general Christain doctrine and tradition. Seven days to Easter. The countdown is on!!.
I dare not miss churches on Sundays and this celebration filled Sunday was never going to be an exception. From afar, the particularly beautiful decoration of the church I attend told even the most doubting of all Thomases, that they was truly something spectacular today.
I could spot the radiantly looking dresses and faces of different church members. *You asked a question..?. Yeah, it isn't Easter yet, but in my part of the world, the most little of festivals is always superbly celebrated.*
An outrightly outrageous sermon followed suit, it was indeed out of this world, and I couldn't help but wonder how ministers of God preach in such a lovely manner.
Away from the Palm Sunday festivity and it's celebration, today was truly a hit, quite unfortunately it had lots of misses too. Manchester City and Liverpool locked horns at the Ethiad stadium, in what was a potential title decider.
City had appeared in firm control of the league title in December and many pundits were tipping them to lift the trophy for a second successive season, but a couple of frustrating draws and defeats by mid tabled teams, coupled by the fact that Liverpool were on a hot streak of more than 10 straight wins, brought the Merseysiders back into contention.
Before the game, Liverpool supporters could be seen chanting YNWA which meant You'll Never Walk Alone, likewise the atmosphere among the city fans was super electric. It was a match that promised to be exciting, and it truly lived up to it's billing.
A surprise start was gabriel Jesus, the young Brazilian centre forward, who was Pep's wildcard choice for the big game, set up Raheem Sterling in the early exchanges but his shot was blocked by a sprawling Liverpool's Alisson.
But just seconds later, City were ahead. KDB, always a player for the big occasion, was alert to Bernardo Silva's quickly-taken free kick before firing in a low shot that deflected off one of the defenders on its way past Alisson. One nil city.
Liverpool though, restored parity moments later as Jota levelled inside 13 minutes, before Jesus put the home side back ahead in the 36th minute with City creating the better chances.
It was more of the same in the second half, with Mane equalising inside a minute before both sides went toe-to-toe and punch-buy-punch until the very final seconds.
Mohammed Salah was no where to be found on the score sheet, although he did set up Mane, he was in no form as the previous fixture, where he scored a worldie.
Both coaches embraced each other enthusiastically at full-time, and the football world finally could release their nerves.
It was MISSES on the Cityzens part, as Riyad Mahrez's dinked finish over the goalkeeper in the dying seconds of the match, was probably going to be a miss of the season, that's perhaps if Liverpool went on to win.
For Liverpool, it was fantastic HITS, they couldn't get the job done and blow city away, but they were lethal in front of goal, and had they been as wasteful as city, could have ended walking back to Anfield shattered.
A game that was so good that it would probably be worth doing all over again next week.
Guess what..?. It's happening again next weekend, in the FA CUP semifinal, this time with a winner needed, but for now, we all get to look back and relive this THRILLER OF A MATCH.

Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled...
8th April, 2022.
We are in a world where troubles and confusions keep on tormenting people day after day. The simple truth is that, in as much as we still reside in this world, then we are all bound to experience troubles.
There are different perspectives of troubles; Psychological, Marital, Financial, Mental, Physical, Spiritual, Religious and even Political troubles. There is no life free of troubles, even with those that have accepted Christ as their personal lord and saviour. Jesus was troubled on Earth, likewise his apostles.
There are a lot of things that can induce trouble. Be it when you pray and God is silent, when you are looking for the fruit of the womb, looking for a lucrative job, seeking admission, or even when you are expecting money from someone, and such person disappoints you.
*"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death".- Philippians 3 v 10(KJV)*
The fellowship of his suffering as stated in the biblical passage above means your dealing with Christ will make you experience troubles. For every crown, there must be a cross. As a Christain, sometimes we experience some certain things which will make us think God doesn't even exist.
*"Then he said unto them, my soul is sorrowful, even unto death, tarry ye here and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face saying, O my father, if it be possible, let this cup pass over me: nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt"- Matthew 26 v 38- 39(KJV)*
You may pray and nothing happens, remember Jesus said; let not your heart be troubled.
People you trust may disappoint you. It might be your best friend, your spouse, or even your blood siblings. Your friends might be making it while aren't, and you feel why is your case different. It may seem you are behind your colleagues maritally or vocationally, maybe your business is not booming as you would like, your children might not give you joy, remember Jesus said Let not your heart be troubled.
**THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE TROUBLED:**
Frustration
Depression
Sucide thoughts
Backsliding
Sorrows and so on....
**WHAT YOU SHOULD DO..**
Believe in God
Be thankful
Worship and praise God
Double your alms giving
Pray everyday; to mention a few.
**CONCLUSION**
Listen to the conclusion of the whole matter brethrens, according to the book of *John 14:1, 9-10 (KJV) which says Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works, and also John 14:27 (KJV) which says Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.*
**PRAYER**
Say this short prayer after me;
***Lord God, I bring my broken heart to you, I pray that you will heal me in the name of Jesus. Your word says you sent forth your word and it healed their diseases, I pray that by your mercy you will heal my troubled heart in the name of Jesus. Amen.***
*Congratulations*.

Beleaguered Blues Battered By Brilliant Benzema...
Lead Image https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/04/06/chelsea-vs-real-madrid-champions-league-live-score-latest-quarter/
Benzema was yet again in scintillating form on wednesday night, as Real Madrid finally put the beleaguered and in crisis Chelsea exactly where they belong with a thumping victory at the Stamford Bridge. Prior to this quarter final match up, no player had ever scored a hat- trick (Three goals) against Chelsea in European football. ***Enter King Karim...***
It was more of a revenge for madrid as there were dumped out of the Semi finals last season by this same blues team, featuring a fierce defence, that includes the likes of **Antonio Rudiger** and **Thiago Silva,** a "Machine" midfield maestro of **Ngolo Kante***,* **Jorginho** and **Mason** **Mount**, a young attack of **Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic,** and **Hakim Ziyech** and also a fantastic tactician in their manager **Thomas Tuchel.**
Real weren't in London for jokes, and they made their intent known for most part of the game. They didn't control proceedings as they would have liked, but when they got hold of the ball, they looked very dangerous.
**Karim Benzema** has been shouldering the Madrid's attack and quite frankly, the Madrid's team in recent seasons, but one man who was pulling the strings for him on the night was none other than **Vinicius Jr.**
He caused all sorts of problem for **Christensen**, in the Chelsea defence with his pace overlapping runs, and direct play. Indeed the Dane's new reported employers **Barcelona** might have been watching on with disgust. As a result of these, **Christensen** had to be substituted at halftime.
It was reminiscent of the **Ronaldo** days, where **Benzema**, was always creating time and space for the Portuguese forward, and in most cases than not **CR7** got the goals and praises in the Spanish capital and in the world as a whole.
The last player to score successive hat-tricks in Champions League ties? Ronaldo, for Madrid in 2017 against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid. Benzema has now matched that feat. Quite stunning right..?
Ever since **Ronaldo** left, **Benzema** has stepped up his game in terms of goals, and surely now, is getting all the plaudits his performance had been deserving. For the fourth consecutive season, he has 20 goals in the league, a league where he was always second fiddle to **Lionel Messi**.
He now has 37 goals and 13 assists in 36 matches this season, what a staggering number for a 34 year old, right..?. . Also, his consecutive hat - tricks against PSG and Chelsea puts him on 11 Champions league goals these season, one behind **Robert Lewandowski**, despite a poor start to the campaign.
As the rain fell, so did the goals, in minutes 21, 24 and 46, with **Benzema’s** two trebles fitting within the space of 76 Champions League minutes, helping Madrid to a significant 3-1 first leg victory.
The first he helped create, playing in **Vinicius** down the left, and when the Brazilian crossed it in, **Benzema** met the ball with a powerful header which flew into the top corner as if it were an actual driven shot.
The second was also a brilliantly taken header, this time from a **Luka Modric's** cross. **Kai Havertz** pulled one back, but Benzema again scored after the interval, this time on a platter of gold after an **Edouard Mendy** poor pass.
Real saw the match out, needing luck and brilliance from **Thibaut Cortouis** and they take an impressive lead going into the second leg in **Santiago Bernabeu** next week, thanks to the Ruthless **Benzema.**
He has since been receiving plaudits from various madrid legends, and yes he rightly deserves it.
You all noticed the alliteration in the topic, right..?. Another way to taunt the Chelsea fans. Hahaha😊🤣😅. I come in peace.

Ferrari Vs Lamborghini: A Rivalry Donkey Years in Making
During the 1960s, Enzo Ferrari's cars was the number one rated cars in terms of sports and luxury. He had no other rivals, and even if they was, there weren't as potent a force as Ferrari was.
Since Ferrucio Lamborghini was so good a mechanic, he decided to tell Ferrari about the imperfections he found in his cars. Considering Ferrari was the top dog of the car business, he didn't appreciate a silly advice from a young mechanic telling him about the imperfections, and termed it a "total joke". He believed Lamborghini didn't know a thing about his cars, or cars in general.
When Ferrari told Lamborghini he didn't want advice from the tractor mechanic, a rivalry had begun. This fuelled Lamborghini's passion for cars. It had been merely a hobby for him before, but Lamborghini decided to turn his hobby into a passion.
Many people believed that he was crazy for wanting to build a sports car to compete with Ferrari. Ferrari had years on him and was already quite wealthy by the time the Lamborghini had been built. People believed that wanting to build a car as great as Ferrari's was impossible, they believed it was too risky.
He didn't care about what people said, but rather saw Ferrari's insult as his driving force to start work on his own type of luxury car. He began designing different models of his own brand. In only four months, he revealed his first car, the Lamborghini 350 GTV in a Turin Motor Show in October, 1963. By the end of 1964, Lamborghini had sold his first 13 cars.
Still, Lamborghini had a lot of Critics and Banters, who went publicly sometimes in Interviews, Radio Stations, Podcasts and News to condemn his project. They clearly were heel bent on destroying the legacy he was building.
Against all odds, Lamborghini marched on and never gave a damn on what anybody said, then he decided to pursue other businesses and with luck on his side, he became a very wealthy man before he was 50 years old. By the early 80s, Lamborghini had become almost as powerful and wealthy as Ferrari..
He had begun working on his multimillionaire project in 1962, and by May of 1963, he had officially founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini. He decided to buy a plot of land in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.
On this plot of land, he built a new, large factory for his car business. Due to his experience from his other companies, especially his tractor business, he was able to set up one of the best facilities for his car company. In fact, his factory was such a functional structure and rock-solid that it was unrivaled.
The manufacturing building was the central building; adjacent to it was the office building, allowing the management to be constantly monitored. This was the perfect thing for Lamborghini since he preferred to go work on the cars personally when he saw something that wasn't being done right.
After plans for the first model were released, Lamborghini had a few months to build the factory and set a date for the first presentation of the first model. Being an avid and passionate mechanic, he had chosen the best pieces for his cars.
Fast forward 60 years later, Even though the rivalry between the two car brands has gone to a completely new level, it is no secret that The Lamborghini brand is doing well and they have managed to pull themselves to the top despite being underdogs before.
***Lesson Derived***
***You can be whatever you want to be as long as you believe in your own skills.***
***Never give in to criticisms, continue to march on and keep doing the best you can.***
***Always listen to advices, don't feel proud.***

When Life Isn't Fair, Please Be Strong...
WRITER:MICHAELBCH
DATE:5TH APRIL,2022
ARTICLE NO.40
Life isn't a bed of roses. The worst thing happen to us when we least expect it. At some point in time, we have this feeling that life is just a burden. Thoughts like "why am I still living..?". "I'm tired of life," begin to dwell in our minds. By then, we'll feel life is not worth living and we might result to having the feeling that the world should come to an end.
Life becomes unfair when we miss a golden opportunity, when we lose our white collar jobs, or even when we fail at some levels. Losing opportunities that would have promoted and elevated us is indeed disheartening.
I could remember when I registered for a writing competition. After paying one thousand naira as the registration fee, all hopes became high that I was going to win the competition. Things were going on smoothly and I was happy, doing great in the competition until my hopes became dashed upon my eviction. I felt discouraged, I felt unhappy, I felt all my efforts were wasted.
I felt life was unfair. I started by feeling inferior and blaming the organizers of the competition for the cause of my eviction. I wasn't balanced for days until I came to realize that I have to be strong no matter how unfair life is.
When life becomes unfair sometimes, a lot of us become guilty like I was. We feel we have a part to play in our lives being unfair. We all forget the adage ;*"no man no sorrow, is a no man no life*."
Life can be fair at times. When life is fair, we do enjoy it and when life becomes unfair, we have no choice than to be strong. Our life being unfair is just a trial that will only last for a short period of time. Losing friends or becoming aggressive during that phase of our life being unfair will only worsen situations.
Opportunities will slip from our hands, maybe losing our loved ones, we all will fail in some ways. Such is life! Life is like a two edged sword.
When the good sides appear, enjoy it. Once the bad sides rears its ugly head, be calm. Be strong because that phase will surely pass away. Be strong because it's a trial time. Be strong and believe that life isn't always fair. We just have to bring out the best from every unfairness.
*When life isn't fair; Be strong.*
**Author's closing remarks**
Good evening to you friends, hope you are all doing great!.Remember to Stay Safe and healthy while limiting the spread of Covid-19. It has done a lot of harm to people I know. Also do not let challenges of life weigh you down . It's just a test and even if failure sets in, and you feel life isn't fair, always be strong. Bye for now. See ya👀👀.

Forgiveness As A Tool For Personal Development...
You might be wondering how forgiveness serves as a tool for personal development. Not to worry as your worries would be replaced with clarity soon. Let's dive!
Forgiveness is an act of forgiving and letting go of the hurt or pain a person has inflicted on you. Forgiveness comes with a lot of sacrifice and determination. At first, it might look hard to do but the moment you realize that you're in a bondage by refusing to forgive, it will become an easy task to do.
Personal Development is a lifelong process that involves people accessing their skills, strengths, weakness, and thereafter honing them to bring out the very best version of themselves.
It's just like training a wrestler, cos for sure you have to take your time to discover the weak points of that wrestler and develop him in that area. To develop therefore, isn't something people will force on you, you must be willing to.
Unforgiveness is a cage that everyone should run away from but sadly enough, it is what most people get into. You'll hear things like... "I'll never forgive him for what he did", "I'll revenge the death of my father. I cannot forgive her."
*"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."- Lewis B Swedes ...*
Yes! To set a prisoner free while forgiving means setting yourself free, it also means forgiving yourself and affirming that you love yourself.
Moreover, unforgiveness will not only birth hatred but also an unrest of the mind. Anger and hatred would be the order of the day. You'll not only get angry with your offender but also with yourself. Unforgiveness can also lead to depression. The moment depression sets in, you start losing your self worth and love.
However, despite how hard it might seem for you to forgive, there are various steps you can take to see forgiveness as an easy task to perform;
• The first step to take in order to forgive is to acknowledge the hurt and accept that you can't change the past. Realize that the deed is done already and look for a way out. Also, understand that taking revenge won't change anything other than bringing more pain and hurt not only to your offender but also to you.
• Be determined that come what may, you'll forgive your offender. Determination in terms of forgiveness comes first with realizing how much you love yourself and how much you won't let anybody to hurt your feelings. When you understand that fact, the willingness to forgive will burn intensely.
• Learn to forgive your offender as this will improve your personal development. Holding grudges in your heart will only slow down your personal development which could result in dying slowly.
Also, remember that hurt people result to hurt others. Your offender might hurt you because he has been hurt also in the time past. Your own role now is to break the bondage and set yourself free by FORGIVING.

Five Reasons You Need To Discover Your Purpose...
Lead Image https://elishamamman.com/2020/04/28/purpose-and-how-to-live-it-out/
Hey Everyone!!. Happy first monday in April to you, hope your day was productive, mine was. I owe everyone of you a heartfelt appreciation, particularly @Talon for his sponsorship. Thanks brother.
Alright, Now to the main context. You probably might have wondered the reason most people are unsucessful or seem to be in a situation they themselves cannot explain . It's because they deviated from their purpose. They failed to realise they came into existence for a reason and that reason is their purpose.
Purpose can guide life decisions, influence behavior, shape goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning. For some people, purpose is connected to vocation—meaningful, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in their responsibilities to their family or friends. Others seek meaning through spirituality or religious beliefs. Some people may find their purpose clearly expressed in all these aspects of life.
But to me, your purpose is that unique assignment given to you by your creator. It is that important goal you must achieve during your stay on earth.
However, most people do not understand how purpose works or the need to discover their purpose let alone understanding how to discover their purpose...and that is the main reason for writing this content.
**Why You Need to Discover Your Purpose.**
There are various uncountable reasons you need to discover your purpose...but I'm just going to be mentioning five(5) important ones.
1. It is an important assignment from your creator.
As said earlier, your purpose is an assignment from your creator. Have you ever asked yourself why you are in the world? Have you ever for once thought about your "why"? Why you are sent here? Why you came in form of a human?
All these questions of why just have a main reason which is; "...because you have a delicate purpose to fulfill."
**2. It gives you the opportunity to know who you really are and what you want.**
Discovering your purpose will help in choosing a career you want for yourself. A lot of people don't know what they want or who they are and when it comes to choosing a career for themselves, they tend to fail... Why? Because they have no idea of what they are capable of doing.
**3. You become focused.**
When you discover your life purpose, you tend to get focused because you already know who you are and what you are working towards. A purposeless life, most times, get confused because they don't know what exactly to direct their focus on as they have series of things to wish to do. Getting focused will also help do things that are important and abadon things that are unimportant.
**4. It makes you feel grateful each day.**
The kind of joy that comes from you knowing you are moving forward and improving daily is incomparable. When you discover your purpose, you tend to compare your past to your present and by so doing, you realize that you are indeed moving forward just because you know your purpose and your goal is definite.
**5. It makes you live a fun filled life.**
Your purpose is that thing you involve yourself in which makes you feel fulfilled and happy. Imagine the kind of happiness, fun, and fulfillment that will befall you when you live a purposeful life.

Saved By The Grace (Finale)
Just when you thought your weekend has actually been relaxing and awesome, the thoughts of the beginning of a stress filled week surfaces in your mind, and you are like..argh common!!. Anyways, How're you all doing peeps, hope you guys went to Church today.
Exactly a week ago, I disclosed to you guys the fact that I was going to continue my narration of the occurence that taught me a bitter lesson as regards keeping late nights.
Here we are again and there we go yet again. In case, you missed the first two parts, you can check and read them by clicking *here* and *here* respectively. https://read.cash/@MichaelBCH/saved-by-the-grace-dd701203 https://read.cash/@MichaelBCH/saved-by-the-grace-part-2-98804990
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
As everyone were trembling, and some making inaudible prayers, I was simply dumbfounded. It caught me a surprise shock, and moreso I was left wondering why I didn't listen to my mind and stayed back at the hostel.
It was obviously too late, and right before my presence, one man who tried being stubborn was giving his marching orders. His marching orders to the world beyond. Almost every one screamed, and wailed for the deceased.
To me, it all seemed like a heck of a dream and I was secretly also hoping, someone would wake me up, it never happened. Reality can never compromise. Of course, it can't.
Pretty much everyone was ransacked, their wallets, wristwatches, phones were all collected, nobody dared argue, but when it got to three places to my turn, their leader received a call, and after receiving the call he was pretty nervous.
I had determined to struggle with them if I was ever approached, I had wanted to lie I had nothing in me, cos I had dipped my wallet under the shoe I was wearing.
It would probably have been an entirely different scenario. Honestly, what would have happened is just beyond what I can envisage.
The Boss commanded us all to bow down, and made it known that whoever was caught peeping or raising his heads.
He whispered something to his subordinates, and thereafter called a code out loud. They all entered the boss and drove off.
Before we knew what was happening, another car parked in front of us, and many fled, but after some minutes, a conversation ensued between the car driver and one elderly man and he made us all known, that he was a state detective, and it was someone that sounded him.
To this day, I remain grateful for being saved, and the following church was my Thanksgiving service. Ever since then, I resorted to not walk late at nights anymore.

The Youthful Chase For Money And Affluence..
According to statistics, a staggering 80 percent of the world's population live on less than $10 a day, Three billion live on two dollars a day, while one billion live on less than a dollar a day.
I guess perhaps the abject poverty in town nowadays, as illustrated by these figures largely suggests the main reason people are chasing after money. They are heel bent on breaking the Poverty duck.
Although on a more serious note, the rate nowadays is becoming quite alarming. Had it being that all this people all want to be rich by working with their hands, I guess then there is no point in blaming or speaking against them.
Rather, many are only interested in getting rich, without making use of their energy, time and sweat. They are only interested in swindling people and thereafter get rich.
Those who aren't fraudsters, or scammers, are involved in rituals, kidnapping, armed robbery and a host of other ludicrous social vices.
It is quite disheartening or best explained, absurd to hear that people are actually ready to go to any extent just to get money. How they are gonna get rich, they are just less concerned.
But maybe to a little extent this all augurs well when you have an elderly person in question. I mean a person that has got wives and kids to cater for. Definitely when you see such a person after money, then you know the reason, I mean it might still sound a little bit reasonable.
This then leads me to the main contextual reason I am writing this. Youths... Oh yes. The youths, particularly from ages 17-25, all chasing after wealth and riches at such a tender age.
It is an honest reflection though of the direction life is heading actually, being in a world of civilization and a world where science and technology are starting to become a mainstay, youths obviously do not want to be caught in a limbo, I totally can understand.
Who doesn't want to be rich, who doesn't want to be that one man whom everyone giveth respect, all in the name of wealth, popularity, and affluence. No one right..?. Exactly!!.
Unemployment does not help matters either, it doesn't!!. Take for instance, a parent that strived to send a child through the secondary school and university for a minimum of twenty years, and at the end of the day, watched on as the child gets no job, at least to repay the parents and reward them for their determination. It really hurts, and I guess the child would be willing to do anything, just anything.
This is where the chase sets in, this is where desperation sets in, Of course, it is. No average human being would be willing to sit still and fold arms without taking drastic steps and actions.
The Chase for money and Affluence is on
**CONCLUSION**
The old belief was that when you are an erudite, and you are well educated, automatically money will come to your lane, but after the emergence of corruption has proved that notion wrong, teenagers no longer want to be educated, they instead want to face squarely that challenge of making that shiny, crisp looking, world wide acceptable paper called money
Listen to the conclusion of the whole matter brethren, Unless the increasing rate of poverty and unemployment in the world today, particularly in most African countries is tackled, and solved, the chase to make money at the most tender of ages won't stop.

Activate The Spirit Of Leadership In You...
Lead Image.
The difference between a leader and a follower is in the way he thinks. A leader thinks like a leader, an authoritative person, a confident person who has believe in himself, a person who gives orders but a follower thinks like a follower, someone that is meant to reciprocate given orders. This is to say that only few followers think or reciprocate the spirit of a leader.
A leader is always bold in his decision making, authoritative in the sense that whatever he says is the last command and no one dares compromise.
However, the fact that you are a follower or under a leader for sometimes doesn't kill that spirit of leadership in you. There is a hidden trait of leadership present in every human therefore, every human is expected to think like a leader that he is even when he is under a so called leader.
Like I always say, a leader is not necessarily someone who is placed above a group of people to control or give orders to them. A leader is someone who has discovered and is ready to fulfill his divine and purpose.
A leader is someone who has the courage to face criticism no matter the harm it does to his purpose journey. A leader is someone who who is passionate about making impacts and also have a sense of sense worth and confidence in himself.
As said earlier, true leadership goes beyond the title, "leader". A true leader will not see that title "leader" as a thing of pride but rather something to make him and his followers grow.
A true leader will understand the fact that a leader is manifested in his ability to perform well and serve as a source of inspiration other than feeling proud and serving as an oppressor as a result of his title.
Every human was created to be a leader in his purpose and calling. As soon as you discover your area of specialization and your purpose as well as making plans to develop and fulfill it, you have become a leader automatically. In other words, your purpose determines your area of leadership.
True leadership begins from the mind, believing you're capable of leading with no limitations whatsoever. A true leader is someone who is ready to change his mindset from a negative one to a positive one.
One of the major problems many leaders encounter today is them seeing leadership as a role that they should play rather than a life that they should live.
Dear leaders and potential leaders, this is a message for you to be intentional about your leadership role. Your leadership role can only be activated when you live a purposeful life.
Do you feel you are not capable enough to become a leader? It's mostly because you have not understood discovered the reality of the potency of your purpose.
**AUTHOR'S MESSAGE**
Hello folks!!. Welcome to the month of April, may it bring forth good tidings and more BCH to your wallets. Also, I sincerely appreciate everyone of you who wished me a quick recovery, thankfully it was only a scare and am hale and hearty now. Until next time. Bye.

Feeling Indisposed...
Good Evening to y'all. It's the last day of March, and whether we all accept or not, March 2021, has come and gone, you can never relive it again, probably until the next world, which I dunnot have any believe whatsoever exists.
You might be wondering if you read the title of my article well or maybe I made mistake writing it. Hell No!!. This guy is truly not feeling too well.
I woke up feeling somehow, and I had noticed something stupid was always happening. I had taken my bath with a warm water, but I was still feeling hot.
When I was aged five, I vividly could remember getting sick twice in a year, and ever since then, have not falling sick more than once in a year, and the similarity between all these years, is that I happen to fall sick always in the second half of the year, mostly August and beyond.
And I guess, In virtually all these times, have always been given that light of it's impending arrival, more like it's an August visitor. August visitor though are always good people and they mostly don't cause any form of harm, but with this, reverse is the case.
I had a lot of places to go today, but I wasn't able to, all in the name of feeling Indisposed. I received a lot of calls and text messages asking why I failed to show up.
All and sundry, wished me a quick recovery, but what are the symptoms I felt.
Severe body hotness
Incessant Coughing
Fever
Head Aches
Throat pain
Cold
I always want to claim strong, hence the sole reason am forcing myself to write. Writing is a dream, and I wouldn't allow any stupid sickness hinder from it.
I have taken a few drugs, shout-out to mum, even though I wasn't at home, she still directs me on the drugs to use.
I pray and hope it isn't malaria, cos I have no affection not even the smallest or tiniest from it.
I guess you guys are noticing the fact that am forcing those words out. It isn't rhyming much like my usual self.
I had determined to write two articles today, but unforseen circumstances haven't allowed me, I hope to come back better and healthier. Wish me a speedy recovery friends.
Thanks for reading, I remain my loyal, jovial and friendly self, Michael.

An Inexperienced Writer's Niche..
Hello Read Stars!!. You guys might have probably been shocked checking the calendar and seeing 30th of March, meaning tomorrow is actually the last day in the third month of the year, and boom April is here. Well any lessons from that, yeah, time and tide waits for no man, do what you have to do now and don't procrastinate. Tomorrow might be too late.
When I newly started my writing journey, I was confused on the niche to write that would suit me better. Yeah, it was totally inexperience on my part, cos had I been, I would have had a better knowledge on what to write.
I tried different niches ranging from fiction, to drama, to storytelling, to sports amongst others but none seemed to be working for me. I kept on forcing myself to write on niches that were obviously not in line with my purpose. Niches that I was obviously not going to do well at.
I would force myself to write poetry for others to read and although I got applauded by people who read my poems, I still wasn't satisfied. I didn't get what I wanted. The fulfillment and the joy I desired weren't present in the poems I was writing then.
Basically, I wrote poems because I was confused on what exact niche to write on, sometimes I struggled to make sentences rhyme, sometimes I was always holding the pen for 3- 4 hours without getting that inspiration, I was lost, due to inexperience.
Everyone's niche will not always be your niche. Do not follow the pattern of others simply because you want to feel among the multitudes who write on a particular niche. Do not force yourself to writing what won't make you fulfilled on the long run. It's not until you go motivational before you impact into lives that needs to be impacted.
What if your purpose is tied to help people build a stronger relationship among their spouse? What if your purpose is to help people overcome sexual immorality? Would you give give up on that because you want to follow the likes of people who write on "never give up!"?.
From a few friends, have been told " Hey you earn little on read cash, do you know why ?. I had always replied no, and they were like cos Cryptocurrency is the most rewarded topic, cos the focus is rewarding people who write on the crypto stuffs, and at all times better than normal topics.
Don't get me wrong, my article about Bitcoin Cash yesterday was out of excitement for it, it was due to the fact that I was surprised at its market price and I wanted to express my happiness in writing.
This is not to say, that I should now delve into writing about Smart BCH, Crypto Verse, NFTs, Pegaxy and all, simply for the sake of what have heard. I know my purpose, my strengths and my weakness, every writer does, but the greatest mistake they make is trying to follow the crowd.
If you really desire fulfillment while making impacts, following the multitude should not be your top most priority. Your priority should be about fulfilling purpose through your skills or talents.
If you want to be a fufilled writer, you should always write on your strengths, develop a certain niche of things you write about, do not let envy set in and make sure you patiently wait for your time, and before you know it, you are at the top.

Bitcoin Cash Is Already Launching To Prominence, But Are You..?
According to www. bitcoin. com, Bitcoin Cash is widely renowned for being a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that aims to become the leading global money with fast and secure payments, mini fees, privacy and high transaction capacity.
Bitcoin Cash was actually forged in a political drama of bitcoin that lasted seven years between 2010-2017. It is considered a 'fork' of bitcoin and according to various reports, it was created by Satoshi Nakamoto.
It is no secret that cryptocurrencies are the future of commerce, they have constantly been overtaken the use of naira notes and banking.
Bitcoin Cash has grown in prominence over the years and, unlike its original source, Bitcoin, is considered the most important cryptocurrency, racking up more and more share holders and investors with each passing hour.
Bitcoin was born in August 2017, and it would probably be fair to say that it started with a turmoil, perhaps due to inferiority complexes and opposition from bitcoin.
In 2021, it sent shock waves across the entire planet by reaching a market price of about $1500 or thereabouts. But since then, it has gone down by 28.66%.
Therefore, it is no understatement that it is indeed taking a rising path and it is a matter of time before hitting those heights of 2021, a lot of share holders are steadily increasing their stocks, although it is what noting that it fell in larger parts of February to about $270 or less.
So far so good this month, it has risen by 21.87% as is the hope of a whole lot of people, it rose to $385 as at 3pm this afternoon. This night, it stands at a somewhat pleasing value of $369.75.
**CLOSING REMARKS**
Signs clearly now suggest, April is that month that will be a key decider of Bitcoin Cash, but in my best believe and opinion, it is launching to prominence, it is going higher and will only keep stunning doubters.
Don't be a doubter or a detractor, Bitcoin Cash is launching to prominence, You can too by creating mass awareness and investing wisely today. Remember it's better late than never.

Live A Purposeful Life..
Few weeks ago, I was on my way to school, trying to cross a busy road. While making an attempt to cross, I noticed that people who were faraway from me had crossed the road but I was not able to cross the road because some vehicles were close to where I was standing.
This experience reminded me of my childhood days where mum would have to hold my hand firmly before I could cross the road thereby reminding me that I should not follow someone in crossing a busy road because we could be standing in different locations.
Reminiscing on those good old days made me relate it to our existence now where people would involve themselves in what is obviously not their way because someone else is doing it and is succeeding in it.
If you cross a busy road because someone else is crossing it even when you are standing in different locations, you might end up getting crushed which is the same thing applicable to you following other people's way because it seems to work for them.
You need to start by living a life of purpose, not a life of copying or looking at other people's lives. Twin siblings born in the same day cannot make the same progress in life. One might shine and make it faster than the other. It doesn't now get justified if the other decides to quit his own job and start plying the same trade as the other, simply because the other has made it.
One man's food is another man's poison, what worked for A might not work for B, so instead of trying to take the same steps as people or cross the road at the same time as others, do things at your own pace and live a purposeful life.
You need to be sure of your destination and the journey to it and that's why you need to understand yourself properly. What are those things that you will perform exceedingly well in?.What are you passionate about?. What is your purpose? Where exactly do you function better?. What gives you adequate fulfillment?. Giving sincere answers to these questions will give you a clear insight of how to cross your busy road of impossibilities into unlimited success.
Crossing the road while others are and forgetting that you at different stand point will lead to either death or accident. So, following people dreams and visions will do two things,
👉Kill ones vision
👉Patch ones way to success, that is even if you realize it on time, people in this category end up achieving success with bruises.
So why not achieve success without having to strain out your sanity, without having to distort your emotions,waste your time and even your funds( because these are the bruises from crossing because others are crossing) by following your own dreams and goals, don't forget every man is unique in is own way .
Don't follow crowds, live a purposeful life....
**AUTHOR'S MESSAGE**

Thirty Days On Read Cash: Why You Should Join Too...
Lead Image https://Unsplash
The day dawned crisp and clear, and the ever alluring sun radiated and clawed it's way through the window, as if it ever had hands. That was an exaggerating case of personification right..? Pardon my manners... Pretty much awoke, I just couldn't take my minds off the beauty of the nature, how dazzling!!
I joined read cash exactly thirty days ago, but man it feels like thirty weeks if not thirty whole months. I have found here an exciting community, top quality bloggers and writers, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
It's only a small journey thus far, I am hoping it could be a long and memorable one. I have so far written a total of 30 articles, all devoid of plagiarism. I love creative writing, and even though I am a student, I still find time off to write, cos I have realized I have a flair for it, and therefore doing my utmost best to make my articles informative and educative as possible.
There have been cases where frustration has set in, due to low and belated visits by **THE RANDOM REWARDER,** cos according to its article, I happened to read that if an article is lesser than a three minutes read, then such writer will receive ten times smaller tips. And I think so far, only once have I even written a three minutes read, the rest has been 4 minutes or upward.
According to it :
***"Oh, and If your article's reading time is less than 3 minutes, you'll get about 10 times smaller tips from me, than people who write longer articles. 3 minutes reading time is about 600 words."***
Maybe it has been a case of :
***"The more interesting article is for the audience, the more I tip. That's about all I can say."***
But yet over the past few days, I have written interesting articles better than the ones have been written cos I have seen writers commend me for writing interesting articles.
NB: All the above bold and italicized text are a quotation from it's article;

Say No To Women Molestation....
Lead Image https://www.thecable.ng/3-women-gang-rape-23-year-old-man-several-times-3-days/amp
Hello Everyone!!. A good evening to y'all. I heard a short story from my long time best girlfriend and I decided to share with you. We had long seen since about seven years ago, and she actually moved abroad.
Three days ago, as fate will have it, I saw a picture on my Facebook add friends page, and it was somehow similar to hers. Although, she used a weird name, a name that suggested she had turned "Sassy", I proceeded to add her, and yesterday evening to my surprise, my friend request was accepted.
I was extremely happy, although a bit unsure, so I started by messaging " Hey", few seconds later, I saw a reply saying " How are you doing Michael..?. longest time no see".
I couldn't suppress my happiness, we chatted and talked and I felt a kind of sensation that I couldn't explain. I asked her how she was doing and she told me she was already in college and studying "Law". Wow, I thought.
Then this thought flashed through my mind, I had always read of international news of court cases of Rape in the US, then I stylishly asked her if she had seen such cases or it simply were rumours. And boom, she made me know it was true, and that she has an experience to share with me.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
*After dinner one evening my friend Stephanie and I left our cabin and started walking towards our meeting hall, where we would sing a few songs and hear a speaker. It was nearing dusk but it wasn't dark yet. There were gravel parts between the cabin and our meeting hall.*
*We heard wolf whistles and looked towards the woods, six guys yelled some rude things and started laughing, They were much older than us. We ignored them and kept walking towards the big building. We joined our friends and sat down but suddenly we realised we had forgotten our Bible and ran back following the gravel path.*
*It was deserted cos everyone were inside the meeting hall. After picking up our Bibles, we were about to open the door when we heard pounding on the plywood walls. My heart skipped.*
*After a few seconds, the pounding stopped and an appropriate interlude followed. We then stepped outside, looking to our left and right, when the six guys materialised out of nowhere.*
*The next thing I knew, they were circling us, l was frozen with fear, not sure what to do- when Stephanie bolted towards the meeting hall. Nobody chased after her, but one of the boys yelled "We're coming for you next"!*
*I was alone. The guys tightened their circle. One heavy guy who appeared to be their ring leader, had a sick smile on his face, before suddenly rushing to me to the ground. Others followed suit.*
*Realizing what they wanted to do, I struggled against their arms and hands. I fought my best, but they were much stronger. I started to panic. I wanted to scream. They were almost pulling my clothes off.*
*I resisted as they molested and touched me in places where no girl should be touched. After what seemed like eternity, I felt I was given a supernatural strength as I pushed away their hands.*
*The boy who was on top of me - I had his T-shirt in my right hand. I ripped a huge chunk of the shirt off and pushed him off. I rose to m y feet, and for a split second, we looked in each other's eyes. I saw fear in them, and I think that came from God, who showed up to rescue me.*
*The gang turned and ran away into the woods, I also escaped into our cabin, my clothes were looking filthy. I felt dirty. I went into the girls' bathroom. I washed my face, sobbing the entire time.*
*Moments later, Stephanie yelled my name. She was accompanied by two youth pastors. They came into our cabin and asked if I was alright, although I wasn't, I felt embarrassed and simply nodded. They prayed for us, and advised us never to walk alone.*
*Later in the night, I wondered what might have being happening to girls of my age, who didn't know God. "Raped..".*
*Ever since then, I have joined a movement whose sole purpose is to vehemently fight against women molestation across American societies, and I am glad I did.*

Saved By The Grace (Part 2)
Howdy folks!!. Hope you had a productive day..I promised to share my experience with keeping late nights with you when I wrote the first part of this article. If you haven't read it, then you really need to, just click on the link to it below:
https://read.cash/@MichaelBCH/saved-by-the-grace-dd701203
This you might consider quite a different experience, as the initial one, but it was still grace that saved me.
I could and should have left the hostel for home, as early as 10am in the morning, as I was done with my semester exams but I had some impromptu stuffs I had to do.
First, I transferred a sum of money totalling #30000 in fiat currency to our class governor, he had given me the money during the week that preceded the start of our examinations, he claimed he was saving it for something important, but was starting to feel a kind of urge to spend the money.
He gave me his bank details since we were all living for home, and I transferred the money back to him straight away. But to my surprise, he called me two days later that he hadn't been credited, meanwhile I was already debited since that very minute and it wasn't reversed.
So I made up my mind to visit the school bank before I left for home. On getting there, I saw a lot of people on the queue. If my prognosis was to be correct. They were more than a hundred.
To cut the long story short, immediately I lodged the complaint and I was told it would be worked on, I rushed to do the next thing on the list, and after I was done, I checked the time and it was Past 7 in the evening, and approximately by road it was a three hours journey.
I picked up a few things and set out by eight, something in me told me to stay, but as is my behaviour, I refused, I boarded a bus and off we went.
After about one hour on the bus, the driver suddenly halted the car and he came down. Then from the back of the car, I had some people ask everyone of us to alight.
It was quite strange, and I was hoping what I watched always in movies was not about to happen. Then One huge and Intimidating guy started to order everybody to bring out their phones and money, I was totally flabbergasted.
They had tactfully schemed their evil acts such that the road was clear, with no sight of any oncoming vehicles, the coast was clear....

Be The Judge...
Hello and Good Afternoon to y'all. It's an honour once again to be granted this privilege by the almighty to witness yet another day on this ever amazing planet. It's not by power, neither is it by might, but only by his grace.
During the last weekend I attended a wedding ceremony, in company of a few friends. On getting there, the MC i.e Master Of Ceremony of the celebration, though not a friend, did something which kept some teeth wagging and those listening to his vituperation with joy at the beginning, could not understand why he derailed and started talking jargons.
But to my surprise some people at the party felt elated to hear his story. I didn't take side, I brought his story here for you to judge. Is it proper for him to come with the story or not. I will like to read your comments after reading his story.

*He was not just a poultry farmer as he was generally known in his place of residence, he was a creative artist, an entertainer, a painter and a multi-level networking investor. He had a financial meltdown in his business, since September 29th, 2020 so he had to sell all his farm equipments to raise a sum of #650,000, approximately 1.9BCH...*
*Then last year he borrowed a little from a loan app to add up with it and invested #850,000 on some kind of multi-level networking platform that deals in online shopping and BITCOIN TRADING, He invested in:*
*STAKE X CHAIN*
*P.G.I*
*SOLMAX INT'L*
*AND FES ONE GLOBAL*
*Almost 3 out of these platforms crashed and the 3 was 75% of his investment. He had some other of his relatives who fell victims too. He was oweing the loan apps little amount he borrowed from them to add to what he used to invest. So they kept calling and he respectfully picked up their calls telling them that he will pay their money that he was experiencing financial meltdown in the business he invested into.*
*They did not agree with his given date and they threatened to post ludicrous messages to all his contacts if he doesn't agree with their terms and he told them to go ahead if that's the way they can get their money.*
*He was a businessman anyway so there was no shame in borrowing.*
***WHILE REGISTERING FOR THE LOAN..***
*He never used anyone who was not a relative to him as an emergency contact (The loan app people always do this so as to turn people against their debtor). He only used his wife and mum for emergency contacts*
*For all those whose business is to talk people down and gossip about them, please spend sometime to fix up your own life. These set of people kept saying he ran away because he was oweing some loan app.*
*He relocated to take up a building painting project since December 12th 2021 and he was there when the posts of my indebtedness to the company went viral.*
*He is still there and will only prove innocence to "only those who matter" with pictures and videos*
*So I urge those who want to keep running mouths to keep it up. You have your own mouths and I have my own conscience and self-esteem.*
*Whoever feels disappointed in him for borrowing money to do a business that got flopped should help him pay back.*
*TOXIC PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS TALK BAD ABOUT YOU EVEN WHEN THEY SEE EVERY EVIDENCES OF TRUTH. BUT AFTER THIS, I OWE NO ONE ANY MORE EXPLANATION.*
*******************************
Is the MC supposed to come to a public place to be reeling out this type of story that is quite personal to him, perhaps it was his antics to while away time, but should it have been with the story of his investment and debts ....? BE THE JUDGE.
Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section. It's a free world...
THANKS.
*Shout-out to my amazing sponsors. They have been excellent, you should check out their articles too.*

The Church Of The Living God
Lead Image
The word Church is coined from the Greek word "ekklesia" which simply means the assembly or gathering of those called out. A Church is not necessarily meant to be a religious gathering. It can be an assembly of politicians, artisans, cooperative society, but when it is connected with Christ, it then means those that are called out to Christ from the world and its system, from Satan and from sin.
The very first place Church was mentioned was in Matthew 16: 17-18. When Jesus was alive, there was nothing called Church until after his death. The Church has been in the eternal plan of God even before the creation but was kept as a secret until the fullness of time that the Church was born at the Pentecost. Bible Reference: Ephesians3:9, Romans 16: 25-26.
After the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, his followers went forth according to his mandate to preach the Gospel and developed facilities for those who were converted. Rebuffed by the Jewish authorities, the Christians established their own communities, modeled on the Jewish synagogue. All this were spearheaded by The Disciples Of Jesus, who were filled with the Holy Spirit.
**THE MANDATE**
*Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.*
*-MATTHEW 28:18-20.*
**DEFINITION OF THE CHURCH OF GOD**
Therefore, the Church of the living God is the body of true believers in Christ, baptised by Water, and by the spirit of God into the body of Christ and those people are joined to the Lord and to one another by a by the same spirit.
Church is a body of true believers in Christ
That are baptised by water and by the spirit of God
The Church is called the house of the living God..
**WHAT THE CHURCH IS NOT**
The Church is not a building erected for church services alone.
The Church is not a social organisation
The Church is not a commercial house.
The Church is by no means a political gathering.
The Church is not a tribal organizational house.
The Church is not a denominational gathering.
The Church was used in the scripture most especially in the New Testament in three ways:
The Universal Church (unlimited by walls or location)
The Limited Church (Local Church)
Churches (Plural of a Church)
Note: You don't join yourself to the Church, but you become part of the church when you are born again.
**TWO IMPORTANT THINGS THE CHURCH IS....**
The House Of God - we have a vessel unto honour and a vessel unto dishonour. The Church is a vessel unto honour. Develop your relationship with God and make yourself relevant in the house of God.
Pillar and Ground Of Truth: The Church must strictly be a place we come to in order to hear, listen and understand the truth.
**ARE YOU BORN AGAIN.. ?**
Clearly, to be a part of the Church, One must be a born again. Nicodemus the tax collector was perhaps wondering if it was possible to go back into the womb and be re-birthed again.
*Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.*
- *JOHN 3: 4-5..*
To be worthy of the kingdom of God, You really need to be a born again. You need to be born of water and the spirit. Are you....?.
I hope you find this write up useful ....

Give Respect, Earn Respect...
Lead Image. https://famvin.org/en/2020/10/09/helping-all-become-more-fully-alive/respect-sign-featured/
Hello Everyone!!... Thanks greatly for the encouragement you've all given me so far, it serves and is serving as a great impetus for me to ride on and drive forward irrespective of challenges that may come my way.
It is a great evening here and as is your guess, a fantastic atmosphere to match it up. Lest I forget, my heartfelt appreciation should also go to the almighty one, he who has counted I and You worthy to witness another day. To my distinguished friends, subscribers and sponsors of this magnificent platform, I appreciate your support and encouragements so far.... God Bless...
To the Topic of today which boldly inscribes **"Give Respect, Earn Respect..."**
According to a school of thought, respect is reciprocal. Respect simply means an act of showing politeness to people as a way of accepting them for who they are. It means being able to show regard for people, their personality, behaviour, attitude, and to everything relating to them.
*"A lot of people though, sadly dunnot have this trait, perhaps they weren't born with it or they just couldn't get themselves to have it" - A Friend...*
From what this guy said, I could clearly see his misconception and tellingly, I couldn't resist that urge to make him understand that Respect is a trait that is earned and not inherited.
You cannot expect me to respect you because of the good attributes of your dad, probably he is a minister and he has proven himself to be a good leader by being dilligient, honest, and virtuous in the terms that he doesn't engage in unscrupulous activities like bribery and corruption.
Clearly, I cannot say that since you are his son then you are automatically a good person and as such you deserve my respect. Hell No. Infact, there is a high tendency that you are not in any way like him.
Then this I where, the fact that you earn respect comes in. Me working with you for a little while will give me clues as to the type of person you are. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't only give me clues, it will give me a true perspective of who you truly are.
Then from here, I see you worthy of my respect, then I give it to you. This means you earned my respect. What you give is clearly what you earn.
Furthermore, this is a two way thing, that is, You might as well be the person with that integrity and which I respect a lot, then I would now start thinking that you perhaps inherited the trait from your dad, and at the end of the day it turns out my logical guess was completely wrong.
Anyways, all I have been trying to pass across, is the simpleton that is respect is earned not inherited.
The Union Of European Football Associations (UEFA) is a body that actually knows the value of respect, they clearly understand what you give out is what you earn back. This is the main reason they have a badge of respect on every player taking part in UEFA competitions.
**GIVE RESPECT, EARN RESPECT**
If you really ask me, someone that deserves to be respected will be shown respect without having to ask for it. You don't have to take people by force to respect you. Your character will do the talking, your behaviours and attitude will determine whether you ought to be respected or not.
There is a popular saying which I quote,. *" Treat People the way you want to be treated,talk to people the way you want to be talked to, Respect is earned, not inherited"- Anonymous*
**CLOSING REMARKS**
Endeavour always to earn respect from everybody, respect everybody's personality, no matter how small they are. And always remember WHEN YOU GIVE RESPECT, YOU EARN RESPECT..
CURTAIN FALLS!!!!....
*Also, I have to sincerely appreciate my newest sponsors,* @foryoubtc09 *and* @FashTioluwa *. Catchy names, right..?. I thought as well. Anyways thanks a lot, I so much appreciate your kind gesture, and I promise to repay your faith in me....*
