FEW TIPS TO HELP YOU PLAN YOUR RETREAT  I know a blogger who shuts down her blog for sometime in a year just to go and hear from God again, get new instructions and receive strength for the journey ahead. When she comes up with a new story, people are left amazed at the source of the inspiration behind her stories  because they seem too loaded for an ordinary man to fathom.   . . Retreat is not something we should take with levity hands. It's a time set aside to seek God and hear Him for the next phase of our lives. It's a time to review our goals and see if we are making progress. It's a time set apart to be energised for the journey ahead.  . . You could consider getting these things amidst others  1. A journal and a functional pen 2. Bible  3. Good music.  4. Audio messages  5. Beverages if you are embarking on a marathon fast alongside the retreat.  And finally,  6. Your whole being. Yeah, be t...

2020 IN VIEW "As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information." Benjamin Disraeli A mentor spent more than an hour with me on phone giving me instructions on how to live my 2020 , I was  struck by one of the instructions he gave me. "Get books in that area you wish to develop in the forthcoming year. If you were constrained by your financies, get books that can help you in that area ." I already have four major areas of my life I want to address in the forthcoming year.  Write your visions down. Have a set goal. There is nothing like I have the goals on my head. When you have your visions in black and white, there is something it does for you, it keeps you on track so that you don't run another man's vision. It makes you accountable. Write the visions down that you may run with it.  Get books to groom you on relationships, spirituality, career wise and in all walks of life. Readers are leade...

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT  A whole lot of things must have been conceived  in your mind before indulging in sex.  That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out.  Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please.  1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is  to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously.  2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall...

SEVEN(7) PEOPLE YOU SHOULD AVOID IN 2020 ======================== "Friendship is not by force but by choice".  Reverend Kola Emiola In 2020, if you really want to run fast, crush your goals and dreams, there are certain people you should avoid. It is indeed true that friendship is not by force but by choice. Below are the set of people you should carefully avoid in 2020: =========================== 1. Those who derive pleasures in your falling: . . This year, I have seen enough reason why I shouldn't open up to some people anymore. This is because I saw how they gloried in other people's fall. So, it happened that a brother opened up to someone and the next thing is to see that person broadcasting it with joy. I was saddened by this act. Hey friend, in 2020, anyone who will not care to see you rise, anyone who derives pleasure in your falling, anyone who always wish you bad luck is not worth being your friend. Start disconnecting from them, ev...

MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS  ©TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Do you see any man who's always going around talking ill of others, he's a man who has nothing he's doing. He is not occupied. The devil finds work for a lazy man.  And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.. 1 Thessalonians 3:11 In essence, learn how to mind your own business. You don't have to be involved in every discussion. Get something doing.  Have you ever observed that it is when you seem less busy that evil thoughts start ruminating in your heart? This is the time you will remember that friend of yours who you always engage in unfruitful discussions with.  This is the period the devil is always looking forward to, in order to strike.  Make your mind productive this weekend. Find something doing. Meditate on the word. Never you give an allowance for the devil.  Have a fruitful weekend.  ...

During my national youth service, we were introduced to many professional courses. I couldn't partake in them due to my other financial involvements in other things.  I hear many people say professional courses don't matter. With God and your B.Sc certificate or its equivalent, you are good to go. Don't mind such people please. It's true with God, you can enter seemingly difficult places to get jobs because with God, nothing is impossible. Also put to rememberance what  Proverbs 22:29(Msg) says - Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than ordinary people.  When you do some professional courses, it boosts your curriculum vitae  and gives you headway than others. You have more chances than those whose curriculum vitae  are just blank. They have refused to learn new things. In short, they are not updated in their field of study let alone going extra miles to develop new skills.  . . . When I see students who a...

BRO, GIVE ATTENTION TO PERSONAL HYGIENE TOO NOT ALL SISTERS WILL ACCOMODATE YOUR EXCESSES ©TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI So I entered keke and I sat at the back. A guy entered later and sat at the front. He raised his armpit and come and see the foul smell that came out of those armpits. It was bushy and at the same time smelling. I climbed another bike, only for me to discover that the bike man's head was smelling. He kept long hair but it was not tidy. I was like oh my! Bro, who asked you to keep long hair when you know you can't take good care of it? Who asked you to keep beards when you know you can'maintain it?_  Hey bro! When last did you shave your armpits? Nothing irritates me than offensive smell and I know not all women love unpleasant smell. Also, you don't need to wear that shirt again when it is stained with sweats from your armpits after wearing it for the first time. Please wash before you wear next. You will even be comfortable in...
