You are your Sound

You are your SOUND 

Ed note: "Your conviction is to the audience what an habitat is to an animal. They thrive on it." ~ Obajowo Jimmy Michael 

As an artist, there is an enormous value placed on your trade, and it is primarily orchestrated for service. Whether you sing, play solo, in a band, or in a community choir, you have been given the responsibility to create an emotional experience, to bond and help others bond.

Your sound is a living spirit and it is a reflection of your character. In it lies the power to create and a gift ravishing to the mind. However, a lot of people have lost the richness of their sound to the pursuit of rewards. Most chase after accolades at the expense of their identity and eventually get lost in the mix. 

In recent times, I've been left to imagine what my life would be without quality and effective sound, how I would be able to communicate my heart-impressed-messages to my audience. If they would accept me for who I truly am or ask for more.

A piece of advice, prepare for every presentation, as though your life depends on it. Let your notes, chordal movements, choral parts, riffs and runs, and most importantly, your message inspire at least one person in the audience somehow.

Fine tune your sound and realize that you do it for a reason, whatever your reasons, do it that it might influence someone else. If so, you have done your bit. For your SOUND is for influence and not affluence.

Love Happens



It's nice to finally put a face to the name, LOVE. However, what I can't understand is how you could spend 'forever' chasing after your own tale. 

How you look in every direction, including the wrong places, yet it appears as though you aren't looking at all.

More often than not, I can only but wonder why most of us are limited by certain metrics (derived by some god knows who), when all that we have ever wanted, longed, and hoped for is right before us -every single time.

Sometimes, some of us are lucky to finally be united with that one person or dream -after a long wild goose chase- others aren't and might have to settle with what's left *chuckles*

Nevertheless, one thing is true, when true love finally catches up, you'd be everything and wowed.

So, why not let loose, forget about the unrest, and allow love play itself out. Afterall, you cannot know the script better than the writer himself.

Find love, Find happiness.

For you can only love others as much as you love yourself.

What better way to kick start the new month than giving love. 

Happy new month people.

Love

The truth about life is that we all do not have control over our past, however, the future is unwritten and with it a pen to write afresh.

Today is a new day -a new month at that- and a new opportunity to live anew rid of the errors of the past.

Live anew, Live for the future.

Encounter in descent to a particular class of discuss

The new year has been a turn around for me so far, I mean coming from the drama of the year before and its challenges.
Few days ago I turned a year older, and ever since then I have watched carefully the old me succumb gradually to the emergence of a new individual.
It is as an amphibian that's undergone ecdysis, giving rise to an obvious configurational change. This is one growth I'm super excited talking about and would readily share with the rest world.

This week I would love to share from my mentor's table.
Recently, i was under the ministry of Pastor Bolaji Idowu, where he discussed the message "having an encounter with God". The knowledge shared resulted in this article, as it opened my mind to a new light.

"Encounter in descent to a particular class of discuss".

An encounter goes beyond a physical interaction, it includes the spiritual, emotional, psychological, and biological attachment that comes off it. It is in the little things we do, how we inspire courage in ourselves and others. Most importantly, it is in the report we get from the people around us, and what we make of it.

In an instance of confrontation with someone or something (notably face-to-face), where you find yourself being engaged in an unexpected situation that either could be pleasant or otherwise. Here, hope is usually restored or dashed invariably.

As simple or complicated as the above might read, it cannot be compared to having an -immeasurable- intra-relationship with God. Coming into contact with God gives man utmost confidence to achieving greatness and to overcome fierce battles in life back-to-back. " Daniel 11:32b ...but the people who know their God shall be strong and they shall do exploit".
God's word is the primary tool to changing destiny. As every spiritual discovery leads to a supernatural discovery, which eventually is manifested in the physical. Thereby, the word of God is the yardstick to defining good success.

Too often than none, challenges strikes and makes it appear as though there is no way out, but then when life shoots us in the leg and everything else looks out of place, we can be sure to leave it to el-shaddai- God almighty. John 11:39.
This way, your mentality is transformed towards understanding that with God everything is indeed possible - 2Kings 7.
When one believes in the hand of the lord, he will continually receive and be empowered to receive more. John 1; 11:40.
Also, if you believe in God then you need to believe His ambassadors. "Embrace a prophetic instructions and you'd receive a prophetic reward. 2 Kings 13:15".
For when you believe in a cause, it  affects your disposition and changes your mindset invariably. Thereby it helps you to believe in the impossible, that indeed "All izz well".

Note: "If you behold Jesus Christ as a carpenter, you will receive nothing but furniture. But if you see Him as the saviour you will receive life".
