Idleness is not good and should not be encouraged. But sometimes, it is better to stay idle for a moment than to get busy with sin. A moment of sin can result in a lifetime depletion and destruction. #WisdomDose

Take the wrong key to the right door, you would still be stranded no matter how powerful you are; simply because it requires the right key to open the right door. Approach is an essential key to success. Work at getting it right. #WisdomDose

Loving does not happen by chance, it is by choice. It is not an accidental occasion, rather, a deliberate action. It takes personal resolve to love genuinely. There are times that loving just feels hard to do, but the resolve in the heart fuels and fans it to flame. It takes deliberateness to have, show, and sustain true love. And this is the underlying strength for loving the unlovable and the undeserving. #WisdomDose

In the natural and physical scope reality, birth precedes death. But in the spiritual realm of God, death marks the beginning of life. What a mystery! The life of God was given to mankind by the death of His Son - Jesus Christ, and partaking in this baptism of death by dying to Self (the sinful nature) gives birth to a new man full of eternal life. I have died! Have you died? #WisdomDose

It is not every 'sorry' that means sorry, and it is not every "thank you" that implies thank you. The ability to discern people's mind beyond their words is good and important; it helps to accept what is genuine and discard deception. #WisdomDose

We should not misuse our freedom as human beings by engaging in acts of foolishness; because ungodliness is folly. One of such acts is sexual perversion (homosexuality, transgender, sodomy, adultery, fornication, etc). To the doers it is fun on the basis of freedom, but to God it is sin, animalistic and punishable. #WisdomDose

Life freedom is not absolute, we shall all someday account to God on how we used it. This includes our freedom of choice and lifestyle. WisdomDose

God loves melodies a lot, but it is not a melodious voice that touches Him while men praise Him. It is a humble and honest heart that gives God pleasure, and that He will never despise. Melodies may be of many words with a weet mouth but come from an empty impure heart. God examines our hearts to judge our acts. #WisdomDose

Good reputation is not inherited, it is built. It does not emerge by luck or accident, it requires consistent discipline and integrity to build. #WisdomDose

Your reputation is your personal property. You hold an exclusive patent on it, and as much as this is, you also have a responsibility to protect it from being destroyed. #WisdomDose

Help your personality with good character to become admirably reputable. Your reputation is your greatest invention, so carve it well, diligently and cautiously because it will outlive you. #WisdomDose

Don't condemn someone else's good idea if you don't have a better alternative. Be objective at criticizing and place team goals above personal interests. #WisdomDose

If whatever you do with your life does not have a pass mark in God's report file, you would be most unfortunate at judgment. Seek to fulfill God's will, not yours. Follow His ways, and you would not be recorded as a failure in His report file for your life. #WisdomDose

The basis of confusion for some people is that they want to hear and obey both God and man at the same time. If you can not clearly discern God's voice, any human ideology or manipulations will confuse you. #WisdomDose

Any time your faith shakes, remember God's faithfulness, and that would be sufficient to revamp your heart to believing. Man's faith may fail, but God's faithfulness stands forever sure and steadfast; and this is enough proof to make man trust in Him absolutely. WisdomDose

Obedience to God is difficult for the the natural man, but made possible by the Spirit. Doing things God's way brings ease for man in all that pertains to life and godliness. Ease, in the sense that diligent efforts yields great results.

Sleep was meant for man, but man was not made for sleep. It is a necessity, but timing, priority and balance needs to be applied to enjoy it. Doing the right thing, at the right time and in the right way is a trio quality of insightful fellows. #WisdomDose

To get things right, learn the right ways to do things. In a project, the procedure is as important as the end product. Engage the right method(s) to get the right outcome(s). Every course has a suitable approach to it. Hence, if you are expending much resources but not getting desired results, perhaps your method needs to be checked. #WisdomDose

Sentiment is an inhibitor which reduces the strength of truth. Objectivity is an indicator of sincerity; it helps the potency of truth. Truth always have a way of proving itself with respect to time. Hence, communicate objectively, and allow time to factor things out for public convictions. #WisdomDose

Help rendered to another is a seed sown for oneself, and sometimes somehow, it will yield its fruits. If you find helpers scarce around you, it may be either that you are stingy giving help to others or just an inevitable experience of life you will sometime get over. However, whatever a man sows, he reaps. Genuine helpers never lack helps. #WisdomDose

If you want God to regularly speak to you, learn to pay attention and write down; this is one of the ways to prove how serious you are to keep important things - the deep things of God. #WisdomDose

God will not change from being God due to men's unbelief. He will not deplete in righteousness because of men's iniquities. So, as a child of God through Christ Jesus, do not lose your godliness because of pressure, rejection or hatred from men. The Spirit of God in you makes you a treasure of eternal value, but forsaking Him for the sake of pleasing men will merely turn you to a trash. Be bold to keep and promote the qualities of God (virtues) by your lifestyle, without compromise. This, surely, is highly honourable and forever rewarding. #WisdomDose

Change affects men and things of nature, not God. Anyone who doubts that or thinks otherwise needs a change in perspective. Jesus is God! And He is the same yesterday, today and forever! No one's unbelief can change that. #WisdomDose

Praising God is an act of wisdom, a display of humility. It is a sure way to access God's presence and draw His attention. God can do anything in the atmosphere of true praise.

Give praise to God as an offering with a genuine heart, not as a gimmick to get miracles. God is worthy to be praised; ultimately for whom He is, and not just because of what He has done. Even if He has done nothing for you, praise Him. That proves how much you love and Believe Him unconditionally. #WisdomDose

Prayer is not drama, rather a serious communication engagement that God pays attention to. It is occasionally possible to have gesticulation or groaning in the act but these do not necessarily depict seriousness nor determine efficacy. If prayer is not offered the right way, time spent at it would only amount to a waste. There is no point praying if it does not bring results. To have divine results of prayers, we must learn to do it effectively. Take it serious, make it purposeful. Be real at it, not dramatic or comical. #WisdomDose

Prayer is not an avenue to lecture or preach to God. Oh no! That's far off track. Prayer is not story telling, it is simply pouring one's heart to God in simple, exact and clear terms as much as one can. Anytime you are short of words to express your heart, speak in tongues. That is one of the benefits of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps our infirmities. So, for effective praying, engage the Holy Spirit more than you engage your sense. #WisdomDose

For prayer to be effective, it must possess the right necessary elements. First, it must be according to the will of God in the name of Jesus Christ; and His will is inside His written word.

The prayer process is not complete until you have heard God speak back to you on the issue you have raised with Him in prayers. So, learn to listen to His voice. It may not always be instant, but He will certainly respond if only you would be sensitive enough to discern His voice. #WisdomDose
