A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

PROVISION FOR ALL

To me, the foremost thing on our minds now should be finding out the blueprints of the Creator for us this year, so as not to labour in vain. Like I wrote in my previous posts, aligning our dreams with the Creator's plans will save us the acrimony of seeing our cherished dreams crushed. Heed this advice and follow it through this year. Now,to the main thing on my mind,that was just a digression. I recall that some years back, spiritual inferiority was my second nature. I wired myself to think less of myself,as regards spirituality. I could not help wondering if I was not destined to be part of those who enjoy an intimate relationship with their maker. Perhaps,I would have to rely on using those who were destined as a means to glean the intricacies of the spiritual realm. I kept lingering in this state until I encountered some life-changing experiences(which I won't share with you but one). As I grew up spiritually, with the help of certain books I read especially Joyce ...

FARSIGHTEDNESS

One of the many things that came to mind is what I'll share with you in this post. I came across a person who has set standards for liking people, and pitiably, these standards express the myopic state of a human mind. This stirred something somewhat deep in my heart and I'll like the world to know. Something that will stay with us forever is the diversity of personalities and identities. An educated mind will set standards with this concept in mind. It's not wrong to decide who you like or not, what is unthinkable is when you base your criteria for liking people on almost negligible and shallow standards, such as financial status, ethnicity, good looks, etc. We should have the initiative to see beyond those, to search out the intents of the heart and the true colour of a person, before we decide who is worth our affection or not. Others should be judged on the basis of true character, not on some shallow good looks and the likes. High-quality people do not often c...

BOYFRIEND VERSUS BOYFRIEND

Boyfriend as used in this post refers to both gender. Yes I think it is Time we have a boyfriend vs boyfriend fight. Let's know who owns the name boyfriend. The dictionary definition did justice to that but we still don't get it. I was asked "Do you have a boyfriend?", i replied "No i don't" she laughed "so you don't have a male friend", "I call then guyfriends, not boyfriends" Yeah! So to aid our understanding I would be using guyfriend which would mean: A guy you know well and like. Boyfriend: A man or boy that you're having a sexual relationship with. So back to our discussion, still on the Dear Teens series. Dear Teen, I'm sure you're good. In case you missed my first Dear Teen post, you can get to my blog jesustibab.blogspot.com and search for WHAT'S YOUR PRIORITY. As a teenager why do you need a guyfriend or boyfriend?

WHAT'S YOUR PRIORITY

Dear Teen, It is normal as a guy to be attracted to a girl because she's pretty, has nice curves, intelligent, has lovely hair e.t.c. As a girl it is also normal to be attracted to a guy because he's neat, a bad boy, tall, handsome, intelligent etc. Everyone has something irresistible that attracts then to the opposite sex. It is also normal to also wish you could cuddle yourself, be in a relationship, kiss, show off to friends etc. So many even go to an extend of dreaming they are married to  the person with kids. The difference between that pregnant teen and you is SELF CONTROL. The only reason you don't have a boyfriend and not pregnant is SELF CONTROL. The only reason you don't have a girlfriend and haven't impregnated anyone is SELF CONTROL. BUT SELF CONTROL HAS GOT STAGES. Maybe the reason you could control yourself is because the opposite sex hadn't made any moves yet. It could be you've not gotten a chance away from your parents. There wh...

TRAINING A CHILD

Its no longer news that children aren't trained in the way they ought to go but in the way their parents deem it fit for them to go. Before a child is born, parents have concluded on the path/career of the child and when he is born, he has no option than follow their path like a dummy least the society tags him a disobedient child. I was discussing with a couple days ago and I raised the topic of training a child. I told them children should in the way they should go not the way their parents want them to go. I was taken aback by their response "So we should allow him become wayward abi, he should do whatever he wants to do..." Pro 22:6 "Train up a child IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO and when he is old he won't depart from it." IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO not IN THE WAY YOU WANT HIM TO GO. Let me explain better with this illustration. A pencil marker was invented for the purpose of colouring drawings on paper, you bought it and without reading the manual yo...

HOW TO STOP YOUR MOUTH FROM SMELLING

I sat on the bed one early morning puzzled on why our mouths never cease to smell whenever we wake in the morning. I mean even when you brush it 10 times the previous day you will still wake up to a smelly mouth. Thou I also noticed the rate at which a mouth that get brushed once will smell isn't how the one that gets brushed twice daily would smell. The more frequent we brush our teeth the less smelly it gets. BUT THE FACT IS IT WOULD STILL SMELL. WHY? HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED READ MORE There is actually a way to stop your mouth from smelling the next day after a rigorous brushing today. That's why we never stop brushing our teeth, no matter how clean our mouth is today we still brush it the next day. So that means the only way to stop our mouth from smelling is to brush it daily. YEAH!!!! You know I have met with some highly intellectual individuals and am surprised at their insatiable desire for knowledge. Am like "Mr you've got it all, why want more? Why ...

THE MOSQUITO TALE

A mosquito named Garle went in search of blood, he entered a room and a minute later people there started jamming their hands in a bid to kill it. Garle mistook the act for praises, he left with joy and returned the next day just because he wants to be praised. Garle forgot his main aim of going out, he forgot about food rather he digested the praises he received. Garle went out as usual, feeling comfortable with his new environment and the praises he received, rather than flying he stayed on the bed and watched waiting for when the applause would be rendered to him but poor Garle didn't see it coming. The same hand that clapped for him killed him that day. Interesting story right Where you able to pick some lessons from the story. I did Read below 1) Have a goal, set your eyes always on the goal, remind yourself always of the goal. 2) Distractions would always set in, but don't give way to the distractions. 3) Not all who praise you mean well, some actually pray for...

CONTAINER VS CONTENT

Am so tired, I cried out as I lazily entered the kitchen to get a glass of chilled water.  I noticed a plate of ice-cream on the table, "wow" I started thinking of how to scoop it.... ooohhh yummy... it was my favourite flavour STRAWBERRY!!! I was almost salivating, I staggered towards the table to lick the delicious ice-cream. I took a deep breath and opened the plate, OMG What a shame!!! I exclaimed when I opened the container only to discover it was detergent that was in the ice-cream container. Nonsense I hissed as I angrily walked out of the kitchen. It suddenly occurred to me that many of us are easily attracted by the container not minding the content. The content matters as much as the container. I was attracted to the container because its outward appearance spelled ice-cream but I was disappointed by the content. Your outward appearance attract people to you but your inward appearance determines if they would stay or leave. Am not saying your outward appear...

DIRECTION to your LOCATION

I can't sleep, I rolled on the bed, closed my eyes a thousand times but still no sleep. I can hear the voice clearly, it wouldn't stop speaking so I decided to write it down. You were invited to a party and was told to be there in time since the party would end by 4pm. The venue of the party is unknown to you so is the direction and you didn't speak. You got to know so many others were invited to a party thou you're not so sure its the same party but you convinced yourself the direction should be the same. Friends and family guessed the venue of the party so they too gave you directions. You still didn't deem it fit to ask the one who invited you the venue and direction to the party. "Persin no fit lose for Nija now" you told your naive self. It is the d-day, you set out with friends and family based on their directions. You got to the party but they wouldn't let you enter. "This isn't your party" they tell you. You check the ti...

THE OTHER SIDE

Am not here to talk an about the other room oh LOL😆😆 this one is about the other side. Please drop your comments, I would love to know how you feel about this post.    I was in church for the digging deep service, when the Preacher started teaching I noticed what he was saying didn't correspond with the digging deep study sheet I was given.  I checked the date of the sheet and it was 18th of October 2016 and the date for that day was 11th. I noticed the congregation didn't look confused like I was so I thought of calling the attention of the usher.  Before I could get the attention of the ushers I decided to turn the other side of the sheet and there it was 11th October 2016 the topic for that day. NOTE: Before I realized the topic been preached was on the other side, the preacher was almost through with the teaching. This singular event opened my eyes to amazing life lessons I would be sharing here. 1) Majority of us have been believing God for a particu...

CONDUCTOR'S SECRET

Y e sterday i boarded a bus to work and the conductor taught me a very important life lesson.  When i entered i was the only one in the bus and there were several buses there calling out for passengers but this conductor of the bus i entered did something i loved. He went across the road and started calling for passengers, he assisted some in crossing the road and he carried luggage of others. He also had to persuade some that his bus was going to move immediately they entered and before the twinkle of an eye the bus was filled while other buses were still there. After some passengers dropped he had to call for more passengers, the first two passengers offered to pay less which was ridiculous.  He refused to carry them and the bus moved to another location, getting there he picked passengers who paid exactly what he called.  It got me thinking thank God he didn't to carry those who offered to less. LESSONS FROM THIS STORY Develop a strategy that makes people ...
