WHAT'S YOUR PRIORITY Skip to main content

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 cove

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 where times in school when the urge to have a boyfriend was too strong.
I saw what guys got for their bae, I saw them cuddle and all that. I wished I had one.

I had them coming, all I had to do was say YES.
Thank God I didn't yield to it.
There where certain questions I asked myself that really helped me.

* What is the reason for this relationship?
( If its because you need someone to tell you I LOVE YOU, cuddle you then you don't need a boyfriend)

* Can I boldly tell everyone I have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
( If the answer is no then its because that's not the right time)

* Where is this relationship leading us to?
( If you can't answer this then you're not ready)

*What can this person offer me that is different from what my friends offer me?
( Am sure the answer is kisses, hugs, etc)

* Would God be pleased with the relationship?

* Would my parents be happy?

* Is this what I ought to be thinking or asking for at this age?

* What would be the end result?

In our world today, teenagers are breaking records with their talents, inventions, they are going places and impacting all.
Why not join that lane rather than be that teenager interested in cuddling.

Mitchell Obama said " There is no boy or girl at this age that is cute enough or interesting enough to stop you from getting your education. If I had worried about who liked me or who thought I was cute as a teen, I wouldn't be married to the President of United State.

SET YOUR PRIORITY RIGHT

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 particular blessin

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

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.
