It was on a Sunday Evening, whilst trying to read the most talk about book by Sis J, BEYOND MY DREAMS. After reading the Prologue, whilst I was still upset about Rola's current agony as if it were not just a work of fiction, but you see, whilst reading, my brain is not able to tell the difference sometimes. My brain is not able to tell the difference because I connect to the characters in the book so passionately, as if I  knew them, as if I've met them as if I were friends with them. That's why I cry when my fictional character in books, movies , documentaries name it, get hurt or die. Another Personal one is HALF OF A YELLOW SUN by Chiamanda  Ngozi Adichie. If you've read the book, you know the part where Ugwu got missing and also Kainene just before the war was over really got to me that when I slept and woke up, I kept shouting both characters name in my sleep. I just read the Prologue of Beyond My Dreams when I open my IG and saw the News of Pastor Ibidun,...

Image from Google Time has a miraculous way of unravelling itself to us, it has a way of pointing us to the right direction but how often do we pay attention to the vibe and energy that comes with it. Many of  us do say "MY TIME will  come" maybe your time has come and you are busy looking for the answer in the wrong place, in the wrong people, in the wrong audience and perhaps in the wrong state of mind. You really cannot capture time, but you need to know when TO  MAKE IT COUNT. Time reveals how strong we are in the face of adversity and it makes us realise that we are interconnected and interwoven with the Universe. Time Nurtures, it gives us an absolute reflection of our self if we let it, but some of us are too busy watching the clouds and  chasing shadows that we miss it. Time Heals, its not a cliche.. its for real... whatever hurt you feel, give it time, few years down the line, when you think about it, it just feels like a breeze, and you ...

Sir Winston Churchill. Image from Google. Often times, let's rephrase, many at times a man's purpose is attained during his most challenging period. How do I know this.... well let's gone down the lane called memory to talk about one of the Leaders I so much admire and respect... but unfortunately wasn't able to meet.. Winston Churchill.. If you read about World War 2, you will understand the role he played. This takes me further down, what is the difference between a reason and a purpose. I had to search Merriam-Webster dictionary to understand the difference. Reason: a rational ground or motive Purpose:a more careful calculated plan These two words are clearly independent of each other and they cannot be used interchangeably. REASON We were created to Worship God the ultimate source of the universe, we were created to have dominion, take charge, we were created to occupy as he says.............Occupy till I come. You are to worship him throug...

image from Google As we are coming to the end of this Pandemic, I hope we are different and I hope we start to see the best in every human race and to understand and accept that all of us are flawed and we are not perfect, we just all strive each day to become the best version of ourselves..  cant really say for everyone, but I know a few of us do. As we come to the end of this Pandemic, I hope you chose not to ignore a phone call or a text message cos it could be the last, because we are not like rivers, trees or the hills, we are not here forever. As we come to the end of this Season , I hope you remember to dance even without beats, but to dance at your own rhythm and flow, to understand that only now is guarantee, things could become different in a split second and you have no power to change nor control it. As we move on to the next phase, I hope you understand what it  means to laugh at your own foolishness and not at others, because your percepti...

Half full or less I don't know how many people get to read this, but I hope enough that need to read it and to know there is God in all of these. The current situation is alarming and it calls for an immediate response and not reaction. We need to know that even in the midst of COVID-19  there is still a reason to smile and hope for a better day and a better tomorrow. There is still a need to look beyond our present situation and focus our mind and energy on Hope and Love. I believe Hope and Love coexist and one cannot do without another.  I stand to be corrected, but I stand on the  words I speak. I always seek to see hope in most if not all situation.  I seldom see the glass, bottle, room, heart, life as empty.  I see it as  thou it had an element of matter, An element of existence, even if the glass is half full or if its less than a quarter................. I still see the Light. Even thou I feel the room is emp...

image from google I don't know if its only me that belong to this school of thought. But I quite believe there's nothing like Right in this life, meaning for all that you are or that you have is a Privilege, it's not a right. That you are living isn't a RIght many people better than you know have gone down the grave way way back and you are still here sucking just because you didn't get all that you wished I hope you sure know that the difference between a Living dog and a dead Lion is HOPE A lion thou more powerful than a Dog, of what use is it when He's Dead. The fact that you can walk is a Privilege not a right I have seen far better people more deserving and you are here wailing and crying for all that you wished and dreamed for That You can breathe is a blessing not a right the other day, i saw a 6 month old baby boy breathing with the aid of the back pack Oxygen and you think you deserve better than that young blood wake up and smel...

Image from google Most of us have been enslaved by Social Media............Snapchat, facebook,twitter, Instagram. You name it We do not even understand the word moment,oh  let me say peace and quiet, we've been enslaved and ensnared by Social Media, we are so consumed with how many likes we  get, SOOO CONSUMED WITH STRANGERS approval as if it really matters>>>>>> When did we become Zombies and social media JunKIE We dont even have time to smell the flowers not to talk of dance in the rain. So tell me,  When last did you take a look at Mother Nature? When last did you watch the ant steal sugar from a jar in your kitchen? When last did you watch in awe the rainbows and the formation of  clouds into different shapes? Technology has been really helpful, talk about the ground breaking discoveries et al. But what makes me sad is its done lots of damages as well our children have become...

image from pinterest  One of my greatest regret in life is joining a group or let's say an organisation, letting myself go and allowing every Tom, Dick and Harry to walk all over me. I must well say I regret those decisions and it was very late before I realise. But one of the things I learnt is the Power of Ownership and Presentation.. The way you Own yourself is the way people will treat you. The way you Present yourself is the way people will accept you Call yourself a Spade and people will call you a Garden Tool Call your self a King and people will treat you as one This my friend lies in your Ownership and Presentation.... Darling, Please don't  drag yourself on the floor for people to tramp all over you Present yourself like Maya Angelo would Say "Like you have an OIL WELL IN YOUR BACKYARD" I'm not saying you should boast or be proud There's surely a thin line between comporting yourself with dignity and pride. Of course you...

image from Google I don't know if you were one of the lucky ones that got to learn Poem in your mother tongue. Well, I am.. very much into Culture and tradition as I believe that's the way of Life. This takes me back to the first ever Nursery Rhyme that I will ever learn it Goes.... Ja itana to tan otutu osidara ma duro dojo ola akoko sure tete🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃 it means, Pluck the morning glory flower wet and fresh don't wait till tomorrow as the time flies and run🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃 Well that's the benefit of having a childhood in Ibadan, the WEstern Part of Subshara Africa Nigeria. So back to the main gist... you see, this year is technically over but not over. We still have about two weeks for the year to run out........... Two weeks is to much to have the pawn that changes the whole game For some of us that had dreams, aspirations and goals, this is the time to reflect, reassess yourself.  Your goal, dreams and aspirations and  ask ...

It's beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen a long time. Hmmm, it has to be a very long time, just like my usual adage, so many waters have passed the bridge, but the bridge is still unshaken, for that we say thank you Lord We say Thank you Lord for all the things we took for granted One of the most important is the Gift of Life The book of proverb says, the difference between a LIving Dog and a dead Lion is HOpe HOPE... it's only the living that has HOPe so my dear, let me ask you a quick question? How are you living your LIfe? Its a rhetoric, i do not need an answer from you.. I was just watching the Video of Late Tosyn Bucknor I never met her, but I've heard lt's of good thing about her from people I know In fact I know her sister. She was our Pastor in SAF plus me and my home girl Oreoluwa did some ushering job for her whilst in Uni  I must say she is a very hardworking Lady and Strict, there was one time we were hungry and we sneaked to eat some Joll...

copyright Siyanspires 2018 Growing up I usually envy people with affluent, people that have achieved or attain greater heights in life and I just always look and wonder and pray to be like them. They seldom  mention what  they have gone through, because everyone just sees the good side . I'm yet to meet anyone that would say, oh yes i also want to go through their pain in other to be successful.  but Life 😊😊 they say is the best teacher of all time. And Time itself is the best healer... I somewhat agree with this because what we go through few years ago  might have left lots of scars, oh yes!! but I  know one thing for sure that Time definitely heals. Now I don't dream of going far anymore, because far doesn't SIGNIFY PROGRESS. Far doesn't signify SUCCESS Far doesn't signify direction Far doesn't signify happiness Well, far doesn't tell lots of good stories......!!! as I'm writing I'm ...

Copyright  Syaninspires 2018 There is this passage in the bible.. I cant really recall where it was written. But it says write the Vision and make it Plain. Basicly what it means is whatever your Dreams, Aspirations, Ambitions are.. you need to write them down. You need to scribble Them. But hushhhh...😯 you need to keep it quite.. not everyone needs to know what you are up to. The adage from my culture it is said that: " Whatever you keep secret has more glory in the end" Well it sounds a bit vague, but if you take a step back and ponder, you  will see that it makes  lots of sense. I'm not saying you should be anti-social nor cut people off.  Far from it!!!! This is when the spirit of discernment come to play.. You need to discern what information is worth sharing and  with whom. If you share sensitive information with fools or enemy like friends...Then you have yourself to blame. The Bible says the power of Life and Death is in...

   HAPPINESS Copyright SiyanSpires Happiness is really relative, it cannot be connoted nor define. Its a state of mind, and a state of ACT!! I could have a dime and still be happy I could have no dime and still be jolly out of all the free gift we were given I surely think Happiness is what you create within  you It is what makes you shine and bright like a rainbow unfolds Happiness is contagious, I could walk down a room a room gloomy and infect someone with my Smile and pass it on and on till it gets to the rooftop Someone once asked an old Lady that sits by the kings gate with her decaying but gratefully not smelly teeth Mam, What makes you smile? Knowing fully well you leave on what you get at the gate which is oviously not  a well rate She replied the noble and said! Happiness is what you make of it you either welcome it with an open arm, caress it, nature it and never let it go or  abuse it, maltreat it and hence he p...

Copyright SiyanSpires 2018 I wanted to write on something else but just realise the only thing that I could write is still about fighting battles, this is the fourth series in this sequel and i still felt led to keep writing. Its still about fighting Battles my dear, so this could actually be for someone going through rough patches at the moment. I can only hope and pray that this helps you in more ways that I could ever hope for. So fighting battles......... Do you know that some battles are won when you change your Identity......hmmm that actually just dropped in. Oh yes!! some battles can be won when you change whom you are, because the battle that you are fighting might be an identity conflict.... Better still it could be a battle  that has to do with your image and the perception people have about you, this could either have physical and spiritual impact on lives... Often Times, it's usually the two, that's why you have some people changing their fore...

copyright SiyanSpire 2018 I Had to decide to write another one on this, simply because i felt time and space didnt permit me to express myself enough. Hmmmm... Did I say i had to delete one of my social app, yes oh!! I had to delete it because I was so addicted to it, that i get to use it in my dream🙍When I wake up, its the first thing I  pick. Can you just believe that.. I mean  I do not even thick of praying or studying the word ,.That was when I new I was in trouble so boom I had to delete it, Battle Won!!! I didnt intend for my post to go like this today I wanted it to take a different dimension but I'm only going to submit myself and let the spirit take over. So yes, There are some battles that  will be won by deleting and getting rid of anything that has become a second or mini God because truly.... If anything else has taken the place of God, then you are twice has likely , better still you stand a chance of been defeated....... Ponder on th...

IT's been a roller coaster period for me... I tell you its only God that gives strength admist Distress Whilst looking for how to calm my nerves.. I Gave in to watching a movie  plus I didn't want to see a movie that would make me feel worse.. I wanted a movie that would make me emotional and cry at the same time Dont even give me that look cos I'm just been Me..😃 As I was saying... I searched youtube for list of best movie of all Time and I saw Hatchiko Kindly Pardon me if I got the spellings wrong. So in a nutshell, This Movie is about a dog that someone found in a Train Station. The Man that found the Dog didnt want to keep him cos the wife didnt like Dogs, so what happened.. She kept nagging for her husband to return the Dog but to no avail because they couldnt find the owner...☹️ To cut the long story short the Dog became so close and knitted to the Family and he grew so fond of the Man that found him that everyday, he  followed him to the trai...

copyright Image SiyanSpires 2018 So many times, so often at times, I ask my self this unending question. I ask my bestie  same. The question has become a cliche, it s synonymous to what is your name? Perhabs Who are you and where are you from? hold on a sec, are you actually pondering what I am pondering Cos if you are, that simply means we are in the same boat So tell me, how exciting can that be? When you know your purpose To be Candid, there is nothing as fruitful! There's nothing as useful! And there's nothing as needful! Other than Discovering why you are here I just finish reading the book of Esther... and to be honest I dont know what Lead me to Reading the book It must have been this quest for purpose and prowess Did you now that the only purpose of Esther and the only reasons why we know about Esther was because She saved her people from destruction.. Albeit it was at  the detriment of her life Back in the days when you are not called ...

Copyright SiyanSpires 2018 God’s sense of humour In the beginning,  The scientist claimed the universe was formed with molecules  coming together to form the Big Bang.. This is really funny, cos all what God said was, Let there be light And boom that was it It was claimed that we humans came from ape All that He had to do was to breathe Into a moulded clay Ah... Some other school of thought, thought we all came from the Family of amphibians, How can that be possible when the only time man genieuly walked on water was when Jesus did and ordered Peter to follow suit... That was a miracle, I don’t know your thought. The time they said you were not going To pull through, God must have been smiling Knowing fully well he’s got Your back All your mates, left you way behind And you thought you will forever be lost Behind, God came through for you And gave you back in multiple folds All the years the locust had eaten away He gave you the speed o...
