THE BIRTHDAY I DIDN’T PLAN TO CELEBRATE | 21ST SEPTEMBER 2017

Have you been there? Those moments when you plan a day to go a certain way and then through a surprising sequence of events, it turns out another way! This is more appreciated when the outcome is quite delightful as was the case with my birthday last Thursday, 21^st September 2017.

Thing is, I had quite a blast at my birthday concert last year tagged “Thank You” (pictures and video excerpt below) and felt I should just have a quiet birthday this year; I simply wanted to give out some items. I’m not quite sure but I think this action, taken some days before my birthday, created a vacuum of sort and God used people to pour into my life in more ways than I had envisaged.

Like other birthdays, I received more messages than calls but this time, I was so blessed to have very significant people call me and pray for me; as in, people I would have needed to book an appointment to see! Their words had palpable and really humbling veracity. After some of those calls, I quickly noted down what they said and to those that asked, I sent my details and the alerts came in before the end of the day.

Friends and family sent in very heartfelt messages devoid of platitudes (or those miffing “hbd2u llnp” abbreviations you might add. Lol ☺). Some friends called and virtually “demanded” for my account number while many others didn’t even bother asking, they just went to my blog and picked it from one of the new month messages. Up until this morning, I still got alerts while in church (including a rather touching one from a sweet soul of N1,400 for “recharge card” among very many others). Imagine me getting gifts three days after my birthday! I was really touched that so many people just wanted to be a blessing by all means.

Looking back, I'm really delighted that I decided to give out not just physical items but musical products from my wife and I. Luke 6:38 became a reality for me after people listened and downloaded most of the songs/videos on the links: bit.ly/BMMUSIC and bit.ly/BMVIDEO (please scroll below for the products) such that I caught myself yesterday almost wishing I had recorded something new. Good thing there are some projects in the making. 

It took me this long to reply because I received quite a number of messages and I couldn't afford to reply all the messages at a go. 

For all the show of love in gifts, words, cash, gestures etc I pray that God will truly bless you for me in a way that no man can take credit for.

I'm trying hard to put a face to some of the names from the messages and alerts but I pray earnestly that the God who knows you will honor you with things that money can buy, things money can not buy and money itself!

For the prophetic words and prayers, I say a big "Amen" - those who pay attention to the Word, won't have to pay for attention from the world; I pray that God will advertise and show you off in this season.

To God's choice vessel, thank you for sowing that wonderful trumpet into my life Sir; honestly, I am speechless. May The Trumpeter (Zechariah 9:14) announce you to the chagrin of naysayers. 

And to my "Blessed Dad" that fulfilled the promise he made earlier, all I can say is God bless you profusely! Thank you so very much Sir! I love the fact that this brand starts with my initials...

This missive is just an attempt to say a very big THANK YOU to everyone for the texts, calls, love seeds, prayers and gifts that made my day. God bless you abundantly.

SHADOWS OF LIGHT | SEPTEMBER 2017

A shadow is also a proof that light is somewhere around.

Looking away from the shadow makes it more likely to see the light.

2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:2

Labour pains have a lifespan;
It's pain that's meant to bring gain.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. 

For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2nd Corinthians 4:17-18

10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

1 Peter 5:10

As it is with light and shadows, may unresolved challenges hitherto; point you in the direction of their solutions.

May every single tear, shed from either your physical or spiritual eyes, in hurt over any matter, become a seed that will return as showers of answered prayers and testimonies in this season.

God Bless You.

'Bayor

FRUITFUL VINE | September 2013
Excerpt: Only a blind man will look at a pregnant woman and call her barren:
May the efforts of the first eight months of this year culminate in a glorious
and undeniable harvest for you in this month.
A pregnancy in its ninth month cannot be hidden with both hands:
May the fruits that ensue from your life this month cause many to see and know that of a truth, God is on your side.

It's Morphing Time | September 2014
Excerpt:The caterpillar has to molt several times on its journey to becoming a 
butterfly…it lets go of the old to embrace the new…
The once crawling and eating insect, is transformed into a gorgeous flying insect...
May this be a month of BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION indeed as you begin to FLY in areas you once crawled.

Time to B.I.R.T.H | September 2015

Excerpt: May this ninth month be the beginning of a fresh release of ideas;
brainchildren that announce their own arrival; bringing favor, honor and distinction to you.
May the grace to Bring Into Reality, Things Hidden (B.I.R.T.H) be yours this month on.

Worth The Wait | September 2016

Excerpt: The pain and rigour of both the pregnancy and delivery process pales into insignificance at the arrival of the newly born.
The initial cry of a newborn baby is more of an announcement of a miracle than an expression of pain.
A baby that arrives silent from the womb is a cause for concern…
Like a child born in due season, may your life and destiny continue to speak in 
distinct and unmistakable volumes from this month on.
God is a Promise Keeper.

DESIRED DESTINATION (DD) | TOPE MOTENI

Let me start this by asking a practical question: what's the probability of an uncontrolled ship sailing off the shore of your country?  Will it get to its intended destination without any form of control?  If your answer is "miraculously" then yes; It will only take a miracle for such to happen. However, the probability of the ship arriving at an undesired destination is very high.

If the ship must sail to its desired destination, it will need the expertise of an experienced sailor working with other crew members.

No matter how good the sailor is, he needs to communicate with people on both sides of the journey (starting and finishing point), he needs to be skillful at reading and interpreting the road map (navigator) and this skill comes from training and consistent practice.

He also needs to be willing to work night and day (hard work) in other to steer the ship and must have the patience to wait until he finally gets to his desired destination.

If we remove any of the listed virtues: knowledge, communication, hard work, persistence and patience; he may not get to his DD but will end up wherever the waves of the sea take him.

These same virtues are needed for us to achieved our desired end in life.

I have heard parents say things like: my children will read the rest, It's too late for me now (even though they are just 37, 38, 39 or 43.... Seriously!??!). In this case, persistence, patience and a burning desire are the missing virtues.

I have also seen lone rangers, who believe they have all the knowledge required  to succeed in life via imagination; you may be smart, but I counsel you to learn to communicate with others either via reading, watching or listening.

Above all, you need to communicate with your spirit man; The Spirit of God in you via deliberate mediation.

You have to be deliberate in your practice to achieve the success you so strongly desire.

You need to be persistent like the woman who persisted with the ungodly judge (Luke 18:1-8) and you need to be patient. Don't give up. Remove every unnecessary back up plans that make you slack. Tell yourself "if I have to fall, I won't fall backward to anything but fall forward towards my desire"

If left uncontrolled, life will steer you to an undesired end via hypnotic rhythm. Remember, fire is good, but if uncontrolled, it will burn your food, leave you hungry and if care is not taken; destroy the building.

You need to put discipline in place in your journey of life; focus on your desired destination and communicate with others (reading, listening, watching and practicing what you've learnt)

Be persistent.

Don't give up, rather, give it all it takes.

What you want is possible; your desired destination is "arrivABLE"

PUSH ON

DON'T QUIT

GET THE REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE

GIVE THE JOURNEY THE NEEDED TIME

HAVE THE RIGHT ASSOCIATION

WATCH & PRAY & WATCH & PRAY....

 God bless you.

 Tope Moteni (T.M) | 26th August 2017

A PRAYER FOR OUR CHILDREN

Dear One,

May your life be so significant that your parents will always be honored because of you.

May books upon books be dedicated to your life and times.

May you become a topic of reference and a personality worthy of emulation in the same schools you go through.

May you be a redefinition of the young believer and entrepreneur.

May your voice be an authority in your chosen field of endeavor.

May countries consider it a privilege to have you come over for a holiday or business visit.

May the weather and the elements of these nations NEVER have an adverse effect on your well-being.

We can't spell "health" without the word "heal" so being in health is as though having healing happen so fast that we don't notice. That said, may you NEVER have gory memories of staring at hospital ceilings; from a bed of sickness or affliction.

May you be "economy children" - education paid for via scholarships, clothing, feeding, accommodation paid for via sponsorship.

May you be full of wealth, riches and especially the intangible assets of love, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness, self-control, meekness, aptness, agility, dexterity etc.

May you repel negative friends and attract positive ones.

May you NEVER have friends that drain you physically and emotionally.

May those that positively motivate and inspire you surround you always.

Be released into your destiny:

Go and prosper!

Go forward!

Go upward!

Be twice your age in wisdom and half your age in visage, vigor and vitality.

You're blessed and highly favored.

RIGHT THINGS | AUGUST 2017

The sluggard and the diligent have equal number of hours in a day but their outcomes are poles apart.

Great men approach life with a business mindset; they invest time rather than spend or waste it.

¹⁵ So be very careful how you live. Live wisely, not like fools. 

¹⁶ I mean that you should use every opportunity you have for doing good, 

because these are evil times.

Ephesians 5:15-16 (ERV)

A new month may have a different name from the previous month; 

However, if the decisions, indecision, actions or inaction are the same as that of the previous month(s), 

it won’t be much of a new month – prayers and well wishes notwithstanding.

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12 (AMPC)

May our hearts be guided to do the RIGHT THINGS that bring about the right results this season.

God Bless You.

'Bayor
