The Unspoken Word

 



The Unspoken Word

 

Years from now, sitting next to you  somewhere in the world, I will say to you: 

Remember when you were 18?

I do

And I remember on that day on that chat on that night telling you  I'd always be there you

But looking back on my words, that's one thing I couldn't do

But I know what I did,

At the very edge of your 18, I saw you

Am sorry that it took me long to see you and then find you

Am sorry I had to let you be the first

Coz later in the journey you told me that I don't know what it took you to say hi first

I have to find out about that, but I thank God you said hi

You said high and I saw you high

 

And remember when you were 19?

I do, and let me remind you

At 19, we friended a lot more

We talked a lot more, we saw each other a lot more and we smiled a lot more

I began missing you a lot more, but I didn't tell you a lot more

Almost everything was a lot more

With a lot more progressing, so was a lot less

The distance between us became a lot less

Uncomfortable? a lot less

Were we strangers? a lot less

We lacked words to say a lot less

You drove me crazy a lot less

In return, you drove sense unto me a lot more

You began making sense to me a lot more

A lot more, trust me you are a lot more

 

At 19, it was a night with rare stars in the sky

And I called myself blessed coz beside me I sat with the rarest Star

And I tell you, on that night you shone brighter than all the stars

Compelling me to reveal to you my intention of wanting to find you for my woman

I remember the look on your face

You didn't expect it and it took you time to believe it was me reading you my heart's verse

But I must confess

That speechless face, was the cutest thing I ever saw in that place

Every time you stared at me with that face,

I couldn't help it but smile and say wow you're an Empress

I could see confusion in your eyes about the little complication we had at gaze

But I still smiled a lot more coz on that night I met one worth my embrace

 

You're a lot more and I can keep talking but I have one more thing to confess

I don't wanna miss heaven by lying that I haven't met other girls like you

I have met them, but am telling the truth that they were just like you, they were never you

From deep down my heart, am sorry I thought they were you

Am sorry I told them something meant to be heard only by you

Am sorry I gave them a taste of how charming I ought to be to you

Am sorry I gave them a taste of how grateful I am to have you

Am sorry I have to cut it short, see you in the future, I've got a lot to remind you

FINANCIAL HEALTH

  Part 1:    Introduction Well, I wanted to say something else today but I have been withheld from saying it yet. Instead today let's talk money. Today I was meditating on money and I was graced to write down something.  Now, the question might be, are you financially healthy yourself that you want to share something in that context? What do you understand? Well, by fact I am not and I understand nothing about that context. That's why I won't be the one speaking. The prophetic me, the future me will do the speaking coz oooh yeeees am rich, am financially healthy, glory to God.   Shall we? In this world we live, money is good. Following the history of money, money has come to be the standard medium through which life is governed. Today, life is sweet with good foods; the body needs shiny coverage, good clothes; sleeping is comfortable on a soft good bed; it is everyone’s desire to drive fancy cars; who doesn’t want to go get education and one time be called a...

FINANCIAL HEALTH (Final)

Final Part 6:  Laws of Financial Health     5 .        Law of Survival There are two stages in most aspects of life that demands attention: the start of life and survival of life . It’s not easy to be born and neither is it to actually sustain that life. It’s one thing to get your finances moving, and it’s another thing to maintain the movement. Most people have had the chance of financial health but failed to sustain it.  Financial health demands that you apply the law of survival if you wanna keep living a financial stress-free life. The law of survival seeks to sustain your finances. They say it is normal to fall, get up and walk again, but it’s also normal to get up, walk and never fall again. The latter is what we should normalize as our financial lifestyle, get on board and keep sailing. Risks and uncertainties are there yes but we are saying you can keep excelling as if these have never been there. You can live a life that people...

The Man's Standard

  The Man's Standard This year let’s begin by talking a bit of a man’s standard. One of the things we got to continuously pay attention to is our standards. Either you gotta maintain or raise your standard. By literal definition, a standard is a state of excellence or quality. Excellence never is without what guides its being. Thus, a standard is further defined as a set of rules, pattern or principles agreed upon. It is this set of rules that produce excellence or quality when followed through. Now, rules or say principles help man to be singled out. Standard guards man. From the very beginning, God gave man a standard to function by. In man God fused excellence, quality of being and at the same time God guided man in a standard; principles by which man would sustain the excellence in him. 🪔There is a way man is supposed to function, such that he malfunctions when he functions out of this supposed way. It’s for this reason that you cannot do things anyhow as a person, you need ...
