The Power of Agreement


What do you have in common with the people you claim to love?

What do you have in common with your husband, with your wife, with your brother, with your sister, with your mother or with your father?
Do you know the world looks messy now because a lot of us have become selfish? We are not willing lately to bind ourselves to a purpose, to a mission, a cause for greater good that can tie us to the greater success of everyone connected to us.

In 2017, I got on a language exchange app to improve my French and German language learning. As I started to talk with most of the people in the app, I realised they couldn't teach me their language in English perfectly like I wanted them to. So I decided to teach them English so when they become better with English someday, they can teach me their language well for me to understand.
Never did I think teaching people will bind me to them and cause me to write everyday to motivate and encourage them to greatness personally.
Today I can bodly stand in confidence and say not only have I taught people English with my knowledge but in humility I have also changed lives of most of my students around the world. I deem this achievement to be nothing but  by the grace of God.

But how was I able to do this successfully? I could only do this because the people trusted me that no matter what I will teach them the right things, give them the right knowledge and do right by them. I was scared when some of them entrusted in me with a bigger responsibility to teach them and guide them. Thank God, majority of them have turned out well and got positive feedback and results. Me as a teacher succeeded and they as students also succeeded because we had an agreement. That agreement was trust and excellence in knowledge.

Husband, do you mistaken your wife's submission and obedience to you as stupidity? If you do, you are a very immature man I tell you. Her submission and total devotion to you as a man and her husband must be done,  so the marriage can get to a successful end. The submission and total devotion she is showing is her honouring her agreement to be your wife. So don't you ever get it twisted!

Wife, do you also mistaken your husband's love and adoration for you as stupidity ? Do you walk all over him, disrespect and disregard him because he loves and cares for you too much?  Listen, that love you and adoration you are disrespecting from your man anytime he gives it or shows it to you is his agreement or commitment to be a better, and a well deserved husband for you. So,
becareful!
Parents, what agreement do you have with your children as you have brought them to this world?
Do you have responsibilities for them and a life lesson to teach them. As children, our parents made an agreement with us through school, that we should not drop out of the first five in our class. Whether in primary school or university.
In return, they bought us the best video games, from Nintendo to Playstation, the finest clothes and every comfort in life they both thought we needed. Because of their agreement for us to be the best always in whatever we did. Don't get it wrong, they were not rich, but my parents worked all kinds of odd jobs, 2 to 3jobs each  they had. Just so they can honour their agreement to us  and not disappoint their children.
Today, people see my brothers and I to be extremely intelligent people. We are because we sacrificed also to make their hustle worth their while.
As I close, I'm asking you again, what is your agreement with the people you claim to love?
Is it a good one or a bad one?

It's up to you to decide.

The purpose of Hardwork or Sacrifice

Why do we work so hard or sacrifice so much for something?? What does hardwork or sacrifice mean to us?? What are we expecting to get in return from our hardwork or sacrifice?? Is it all worth it at the end?? We all have come to believe and understand for many years now that it pays to work hard. Many of us have different reasons why we work hard or sacrifice so much. For majority of us, we work hard every day so we can have a lot of money to do or get whatever we wish or desire for. But the real purpose of our hardwork should not be about money but should be focused on value and impact I believe. Think of these great people who have made their mark in the history of our world..... Jesus, Mohammed, Solomon, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,  Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama among a few. What did all these great men and many more like them have in common? Value and Impact. Not the desire to make money. They had a greater purp...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...

The Paradox of Our Times

*THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES* Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways and roads but smaller viewpoints We spend more, but we have less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgement More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less healthy lives We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and hate too often We have learnt how to make a living, but not how to make a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the street to meet or greet the new neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not our inner hearts We've cleaned up the air in our environment  but destroyed our souls. We claim to love all people but quick to show our prejudice We've higher incomes, but lower morals. We'v...
