Victory Through Knowledge. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/pink-pencil-on-open-bible-page-and-pink-272337/ When people are not knowledgeable they become a victim. The knowledge of truth is the guarantee for victory in the battles of life. Victory is a function of what you know. You must always go for knowledge and that's the key to everything. Wealth doesn't respect your faith but obedience to certain laws that govern it. **What Do You Need To Know In Order To…
Enjoying It, Still... It's no longer news that I enjoy writing my poems. I don't want to sound like a broken record, so here I'm sharing some of my poems with you. Kindly take your time to enjoy them. Thank you... **Mental Shift.** Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-white-long-sleeve-shirt-standing-near-white-and-gray-house-during-daytime-103127/ *Life deals with everyone differently* *Stop taking everything on face value succinctly* *Everyone keeps pushing…
Thoughts Into Words. Life comes in different ways for a lot of people. Life comes at you, leave you wondering but never without its lessons. I put my thoughts into words through poetry. Enjoy them. **A Place For Effort.** Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-rock-climbing-3077882/ *Sometimes no one can help you but you have to help yourself* *You have to win for yourself not because you want to impress people* *Trying to impress people doesn't last with their…
It's In You. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-sitting-on-the-mountain-edge-91224/ We are humans and often times, our human tendencies always kick in and we show our flaws to everyone. We all have a thing we are dealing with and that is the truth. Just because you never had someone come openly to you to admit it doesn’t mean we don’t have a thing or two to deal with. I always say that you might be seated next to a broken person and you wouldn’t know it. I…
It's In You, II. This is the second part of the post title I shared yesterday and in case you missed it, kindly read it here: It's In You. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/its-in-you-b552d9bc **A Sound Mind:** Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-wearing-black-cap-with-eyes-closed-under-cloudy-sky-810775/ When your mind is sound, fear is nowhere to be found. You can train your mind to be sound. There is no gift of knowledge, only the discipline of study. You can train…
The Simple Things of Life. I love beauty in the simple things of life and poetry is one of the simple things of life to me...which is why I communicate in the simple way too through poems. Kindly take your time to enjoy these ones too 🤗🤗🤗. **We Keep Learning.** Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-wearing-black-shirt-surrounded-by-grass-1007858/ *No one knows too much about life as we are always learning* *No one has seen it all as they claimed as we are like a…
Grateful For Everything. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/achievement-confident-free-freedom-6945/ There is no denying that we have things to be grateful for. The year went by so fast but not without things to be thankful for. Gratitude is an appreciation for what was done in the past and then an application for the things that would be done next. We need to cultivate that attitude of gratitude. Someone said an attitude of gratitude would turn your life into…
Be Happy... Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/low-angle-photography-of-man-jumping-2923156/ Happiness they say is infectious and that is if you have an open heart. If you are the type that is happy within you, and then you will and must be happy for others too. Happiness is truly a state of the mind. You know out of the abundance of the heart it is easier to know through your actions. A lot of people would be sad and envious from within just because they see…
Life's Charge. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-standing-on-cliff-overlooking-body-of-water-1586068/ *He got his third car while you wait for your first* *Another with wasting water while you are in thirst* *Others live in overflow while all you see is the mist* *They have a hand full of bread but with a closed fist* *You are unlucky with love but he is changing ladies* *Married for four years but the couple is without babies* *After four years of…
Weekend Quality Friend. I answered this question in the weekend challenge post and it's only normal to carry my Read Cash family along so they won't miss out on the fun as well... Here is the question: **"You're on the search for a new friend this weekend...What qualities do you look for in them and why? Answer in at least 300 words."** In a world where loyalty can be bought and traded easily, I am always and consistently on the look out for those who would stay for the long…
I See Things Differently. I see things differently which often influence the way I pencil down my thoughts. I like thinking outside the box and it doesn't mean I've got all things figured out but I just like thinking strategically. Life isn't easy but what choice do we have than to make the most of it? Giving up and missing out is not an option for me. I will keep pushing for as long as I can... It's another week for poetry and I hope you enjoy these ones... Image Source.…
Fear of God. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-orange-coat-with-black-and-brown-scarf-5418305/ What is the Spirit of the fear of the Lord? It is the spirit of holiness and the spirit of burning. When it's upon you,you detest sin...you detest to displease God. It burns sin and flesh off to make you relevant for the use of God. Sin is a destroyer of life and killer of destinies. When someone starts messing with sin, they lose the power of foresight. Today, we…
Receiving Ends... I love relating with life based on the things I have been exposed to. We have all been at the receiving ends of one thing or the other in life. We haven't gotten everything all figured out but we are pushing through life while deliberately or accidentally learning...anyway and anyhow... I poured out my thoughts through poems again today and I hope you enjoy these ones too. They are my works and I want to share more and more of them. **Zero Regrets.**…
Humans... Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/grayscale-photography-of-people-walking-near-buildings-9816/ *I believe in the best of humans, yes everyone* *I believe we can do better than we have done* *I see limitless potentials in every human* *No man is useless as to have nothing to offer* *Except for certain politicians though hahaha (jokes)* *I see a lot of opportunities; boundless opportunities which we are capable of* *But we need to see it in ourselves for it…
Christmas Feeling. I find it wonderful to see people save up to have a feel of what Christmas should be in December here in the UK. There are so many decorations I've been seeing that keeps making me have that feeling when I was little. My dad would go all out to get Christmas decorations two weeks before Christmas. My brothers and I enjoy the thrill of being the ones to set those decorations up the way we deem fit and they are always very nice too. The Christmas feeling is…
Human Thing or Nigerian Thing? Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-on-the-road-11390779/ There is no denying I love my country and I would stick my head up for things to be better. We are Nigerians and we form what makes up Nigeria. We are quick to point fingers at our leaders and rightly so, but then we need to do things better too. We need to think better, see things better and choose our gaze better. I am not going full blown into politics haha, so don’t…
Dynamic Poetry. I love the mixture of these poems and it takes you from one end to another. You feel different emotions while reading these poems and that's the intention for mixing them up which is why I called it dynamic...wonder working poems hahaha as it takes you on different levels of emotions... Pity...love...anger... admiration and belief. **Politics.** *They take us for fools* *But we are not fools* *How are we not fools?* *When they see us as one* *Because they see…
Thank you, Rusty. The memories were good and they would stay with me. Rusty has done its bit...the ball is now in our courts 😂🤣😂🤣. We carry on... Thank you to everyone who birthed Rusty...you don't understand the value of the help you have rendered to thousands of people... That fragrance is still in the air even though the content is now empty... It would linger for all...
Uplifting Poetry. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/white-paper-with-black-text-3928938/ Another collection from the stable of Olawalium... This is one thing I enjoy doing without thinking deeply. I've taken it upon myself to share more of my works now and I am working on converting a lot of them into books. It's a work in the pipeline... I still have time to work on so many more. **Alone.** *I was alone in my space and needed a lifting* *I stared at the glass of…
Still Doing Poetry... I poured out my thoughts through poems again today and I hope you enjoy these ones too. They are my works and I want to share more and more of them. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-photo-of-a-vintage-typewriter-4587610/ **You Thought...** *You thought the love of your life would leave you* *You thought life would crush you between the weights* *You thought you would cry your eyes out* *With fleeting moments of joy and happiness* *You…
Merry Christmas From Us. It's Christmas and the feeling in the air is that of love and admiration. God has been faithful all through the year and it's a perfect way to cap the end of the year with the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ because it is the way to eternity from God the Father in whom there is no variableness. *Christmas is here and the excitement is in the air* *We always want to look our best, even paying…
I'm Still Here...Doing What I Love. Christmas was fun and I am just recovering from it hahaha. Sorry for my absence for some days...nah... It has nothing to do with Rusty... I've been resting...eating...watching movies and of course, working too hahahaha. I tried to strike a perfect balance but then...no balance is perfect hahaha... Enjoy some lovely poetries as well... **To A Rare Gem...** *I call her mum because she has lived up to that role* *She stepped up and filled in…
Last Day... It's the last day of the year and I made something like this two years ago...so this is a revised version hahaha. Yes, there is always a lot of hype around the end of the year and the start of the new year. A lot of people might wonder why but it's significant for so many people. Who doesn't love or want a fresh start? We all want to start on a clean slate. We all want a fresh "start over" where we won't have to dwell on the past but rather take the lessons while…
