PROCRASTINATION AT ITS PEAK BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Those days I was still in school, the serious students amongst us would always read their books prior to exam period. You will always see them a week or two weeks after resumption reading their books with all seriousness . It is not so with the lazy students amidst us. They will pile all their notes till the end of the semester. By this time, the atmosphere where they are reading is tensed. Without doubt, their assimilation rate will be slower and there is this saying that "poor preparation leads to poor performance." I have seen a woman whose husband divorced because she couldn't make good food. I begin to ask myself what she did with her single days. Did marriage meet her unaware? I guess not so. Those days she was supposed to learn how to make delicious  dishes, she probably used them to watch television or spent them on things that didn't add value to her life. Or probably she thought h

GETTING RID OF EMOTIONAL TRAUMA BY ENIOLA DORCAS How would you comfort a young lady who has been in a relationship for 4 years and has fixed wedding date, only for the husband to call and tell her the wedding can no longer hold? Where would she start from? Or what will you tell a young man who just lost His Father and mother in an accident, how will He fend for Himself? However, as terrible as this situations can be, drinking continuously from the cup of emotional disorder it brings will make life more miserable, but looking for a way out of it is a better option. Emotional trauma is caused by many things; ranging from Heart break, Loss of a loved one or something dear to you. It could also be sexual abuse, parental denial and several other thing. It makes you feel your whole life is in a mess and it looks as though your life can never be whole again as what happened has created a vacuum in you. It might be difficult but the truth is you have to overcome the trauma b

DO YOU HEAR GOD SPEAK TO YOU FIRST  BEFORE YOU SPEAK TO OTHERS? BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI I listened to a message one day and the man of God said it takes an humble man not to say anything when God has not spoken. When you are asked to come and address God's people and you haven't received any word from God, it takes humility to say you haven't heard anything from God yet .  A lot of us are not like that. When we are asked to address God's people, you must just have something to say even when the last time you heard Him was two weeks ago. You don't want people to see you as being far. You just want to protect your personality.  Man of God sir, I remembered those times you started, how you would sit for hours studying your bible and even praying before you come up for ministrations.  Hope it's still very fresh how you separated some days for fasting just to spur up your hearing God properly? You took spiritual things serious.

THIS IS HOW TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CALLED TO DO  BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI  Most women who go into mentoring other women would know they didn't get there in a day. In a way, if they were observant, they would have seen it a long time before they became known.  Friends would have been coming to them to ask for their counsel in some issues. In a way, people would have been sharing deep issues of the heart with them.  A renowned  gospel artiste didn't get there in a day. They would have noticed how they have been obsessed with sounds over the years.  In like manner, if you are the type that people find it easy to approach to gossip about others, it shouldn't surprise you that they already know the stuff you are made of.  You shouldn't enjoy the process but rather, you should cry to God for mercy because it's not a good thing. It means you have made yourself someone who sows discord among others. In a way, people know that's what you a

ON LEADERSHIP BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI If you as a leader is not firm, even your seemingly called friends will come to test the stuff you are made of. Even in your calmness, you should be known for standing your ground on matters. Integrity is an essential tool in leadership. You shouldn't say something while your actions antagonizes it. As a leader, as much as you place yourself under everybody to be accessed by them, you  must not rubbish yourself or else you will become a dumping ground for everybody. There should be no disparity in dealing with people when you are a leader. Have no favourite. Relate with everyone on the same platform. Give no preference to anyone. In making decisions, do not slack and you will see that people will respect you for this. I have come to realise that leaders who lead by example tend to have more impacts on their followers. Finally, do you want to make positive impacts on your followers? You should be bold to tell them to fo

LADY IN WAITING BY AKINGBALA TEMITOPE  Is your biological clock ticking so fast and there is no marital commitment from anyone yet? Are all your friends getting engaged and you wish yours will come anytime soon? Well, I want to encourage you to keep hope alive and make the very best out of your single period. From the scripture in Isaiah 34:16, it says " seek ye out of the book of the lord, and read. No one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate for my mouth it hath commanded it and his spirit it hath gathered them." Now look, in the middle of this line are comforting words from the lord himself saying " none shall want her mate". It doesn't matter how long you have to wait, it is certain that you will not lack a mate if you can trust God. Also, the last line of that scripture established that by his spirit it shall gather them, not by your reasoning. You are not alone in the journey, He is with you. Sometimes when God wants to come big H

THE COMPLETE WOMAN  BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI We have different makers of phone. They come in their sizes and each looks unique in its own way. We don't have to work on it. It looks new, all its components are complete. Everyone wants to feel the phone, everyone wants to get it. It has endured the manufacturing process, so it gets everyone's attention when it gets to the market.  And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of principality and power. Colosians 2:10  A complete woman is one who has made herself available as a clay in the potter's hand. She allows God to sculpure her so she could come out as God wants her to be.  As a woman, she finds joy in her singlehood. Her happiness is not tied to any man or any object. Though she is in need of a man, she is not the desperate type. She is ready to do as her Lord bids at all times. She is a prototype of Virgin Mary in the book of Luke who said, "be it onto me according to your word."
