Mind whose counsel you seek

Rehoboam after being made the King due to the death of king Solomon, decided to seek counsel on how to lead the people. 

The first set of counselors came and they gave him wise counsel but the second group came and counseled him otherwise. He decided to follow the wrong counsel given to him and it was recorded that the kingdom divided as a result.

Lesson
Not all counsel will help you, some are given with the intention of destroying your dreams.

My take
Instead seeking counsels that will destroy you or your dreams, pray to God and follow your instinct.

Reference: 1kings 12:1-19.

Simon O Matthew.

Happy democracy day Nigeria

LESSONS FOR DEMOCRACY DAY Democracy day in Nigeria is a day set aside in Nigeria every year to celebrate the coming back to Democratic system of governance in Nigeria.

However, despite our freedom to choose or do what we want to do, how come we are still living below ideal standards? Why aren't we up there yet eith...

Stop Cheating

The truth is this There is no partner that is baggage free, meaning that they all are linked to one challenge or the other. Sticking to one partner by being faithful is what will give you real happiness. Cheating is very expensive as you would need to go the extra mile to make your multiple partners happy...though happiness in this case is not certain. Some people think that having multiple partners makes one happy, but in reality, it is an erroneous belief. Give that relationship your best, exhaust every avenue to make it work before calling it quit in the event that things seems adamant to working out. Ooops!!! Wait a minute!!! Do you think that I'm referring to romantic relationships? If that's what you think I'm referring to, well it's not. I'm referring to your relationship with your dream. Now that y...
