Why You Must Live In Your Season

Life is in Seasons. Live in Your Season!!!

No doubt, life is designed in seasons.

Understanding your own season in life will teach you to be thankful; patient; to persevere; always win, and above all, make you live a worry-free life.

Just like God made fruits like mangoes, oranges, etc and  made them flourish in their different seasons; God had made you up, and had designed your season of flourishing before the earth's foundation was laid.

As a single young lady, you may say, "Oh, all of my friends are now married, why haven't I married?"

Be thankful! Be thankful because God knows that the right man for you isn't available in that season of lamentations; cos your right man is simply in the making.

Listen, reacting that way is like Maize lamenting "Oh God, all other fruits and crops are flourishing and shining in January, why am I the only one left behind?"

Even if Maize turns that into a prayer point, God would never answer, because what would make Maize flourish in January (in other crops' season) isn't available in January.

God loves you and wouldn't allow you get married in that season to the man that would make you miserable and think marriage is evil.

Let me remind you;

There's a season to celebrate Mango; a season to celebrate Apple; a season to celebrate Orange; a season to celebrate Cocoa; a season to celebrate Cocoyam; a season to celebrate Cashew...and the list goes on.

That's why when such a season of flourishing and celebration comes for a particular kind of fruit , it's always like it's the only fruit in town!

I hope you can relate with this.

Everyone is like a type of 'fruit' designed to flourish in their own peculiar season.

Inability to accept this truth (natural phenomenon) is the reason why many are unnecessarily worried and depressed, as they unwisely compare  themselves with others.

You have your own season!

Start trusting God for your season.

Are you a young man, and it seems all of your friends are far ahead of you cos they have gotten good jobs, built mansions and you're yet to even find a job.

Be thankful!

Because, when your season comes, it would be so evident to all around you that your life is far more than being on a job or building houses.

Nigeria is 6 solid hours ahead of the USA. But it's evident that, economy wise, Nigeria is far behind USA. Why? USA is simply in her season and time zone. And so it is with every people or nation.

That your friends seem to be far ahead of you doesn't make you any inferior; they are simply in their seasons and time zones.

When things are not going the way you want. Be thankful because they are going the way God had planned it to go! Which is best.

So, don't think negative!

Keep on keeping on. Put on the right attitude. Always show gratitude. Don't become lazy. Don't get tired trying cos what you do in these moments before your season comes matters greatly.

As I conclude, resolve today NEVER ever to compare YOU with anyone else because it is needless.

It is foolishness comparing Cocoyam with Cocoa.

Above all, Discover YOU.

If this blesses you, be thankful to God and share with others whom it might bless, too.

To your welfare,

Why You MUST Discover You and Find Purpose...

One thing is certain: and that's the fact that you can not remain an employee forever. And when the time comes to let go of that position, what next?

At the end;

Would you say that's all there is to your life?

Would you be glad with the results you've achieved?

Would you be fulfilled that you have lived your life not only for salary, but, making impact in many lives?

I smile when people talk about retirement. What many people call retirement today is simply a change of vocation and location, after spending years on one they were never fulfilled with.

Nobody wants to retire from what actually fulfils him or her.

Do you have the luxury of time to read the story below?

“I’m 28 years old and these days I feel like I’m floating in the middle of the ocean with nothing to grasp onto and no shoreline in sight. I’m just treading water trying to stay alive.

I’m fortunate enough to be born into a situation where I have a supportive family, I was able to graduate college with an engineering degree, and I have a good job with benefits. On the surface my life looks great,but I feel a sense of hopelessness when I think about my life’s purpose. I know I’m privileged in
comparison to most of the people in this world, but it’s mostly material privilege.

How can I have so much of my life figured out and still feel as if there is just no point to any of it? Is this all there is to my life?

Do I have another 40 years of my life or so of paying bills and then a cold hole in the ground to look forward to? I know in my mind that I should be thankful for all I have at my age, but I just can’t
seem to shake the feeling that I’m wasting it all as a worker bee. I’ll put a smile on my face, brush my teeth in the morning, and continue going to work,
but what can I do to shake this feeling of no direction, no purpose, and no real human experience?

Please help. — I’m lost in my mind.”

- Anonymous

The story you just read clearly validates the fact that a man who hasn’t discovered himself yet or the purpose for his existence; that no matter how engaged he is in activities, though profitable, will NEVER find meaning for his life.

This is LindaIkeji 2007

A bitter pill, you're about to swallow down as you read this.

I doubt if Linda has a Master's degree but has focused tenaciously on her core strength, talents and unique gifts, developing them daily....to the point where God's taken her now....

This is simply an argument between Schools producing "good employees" Versus Self-Education producing CEOs...

We can see this in the life of Dangote, Adenuga, Bill Gates....etc

We seem to be getting it wrong that education can only be accessed through one avenue called- School education.

But, education itself, by definition, has nothing to do with school, but with training the mind on any area of interest to one.

Little wonder millions of graduates are still roaming about the streets, because, schools have suppressed their talents and gifts, and thus, have turned them dumb "job seekers"....wasting away their productive years in school.

We are in a system where schools have been deceiving us to look up to employers, instead of teaching us to grow up to be looked up to.

A system that's been teaching us that it is better to work for the rich than to be the rich.

A system, where schools never taught us how to build our own businesses, instead, taught us how to help others make their business succeed.

A system where you are taught to be like everyone else-- just go to school, get good grades and grab yourself a good job! (where  bad jobs are even scarce to get)

A school system where your potentials, talents, and natural skills are devalued and suppressed rather than upgraded...

A system where talented children were made stupid by education- school...producing graduates with dumb minds.

The only thing schools have taught us and our children, is to be a "good employee"...

Our school systems don't care about helping our younger ones develop and refine their talents and natural skills into assets.

How beautiful the world would be if everyone is assisted to develop their God-given gifts and talents in this fast-changing world, where everyone is looking up to a paycheck.

Oh, what harm our schools have done to this generation!

Do you have a gift? I'm sure you do, because no one was born empty.

Take the pain to discover it.

Develop it to its highest level of excellence.

Launch it to the world and watch you fly cos it's your surest bailout out.

Chase your passion, not your pension.

Why You Need an Architect...

In Nigeria, so many people are of the notion that they can do their building designs or construction without the help of an architect as to them, using an architect is overly expensive.

Some don’t even know who an architect is, what architects really do, and why they should consider hiring one.

Using an architect may seem like a luxury but if you are considering building a house from scratch or you are simply renovating, an architect could go along way in adding value to your property and saving you from the possibility of a heartache in future.

So, should you really hire an architect for your upcoming project? And what exactly should you hire them to do? To answer these questions, you need to understand the range of services architects provide and if it would make more financial sense to you.

What Do Architects Really Do?

Architect tasks generally

1. Schematic Designs
This is also called Preliminary Design or Building Program & Site Analysis. In this phase, the architect visit

Why Should You Use An Architect?

1. An architect can act as an agent to keep an eye on the contractor and workmanship for the duration of the project.

2. Architects offer a better design layout. They often produce more interesting and creative design work, a highly functional floor plan, good natural lighting and ventilation, and good integration for the building site.

3. Using an architect would help you avoid common design errors with inexperienced designers.

4. Detailed plans and specifications from architects provide a clear guide to contractors and clients. This helps contractors know what they are bidding on and you know what you are getting.

5. The architect can recommend qualified contractors to bid on the job.

6. The architect can handle the tough aspects of contract negotiations on your behalf, allowing you to maintain a friendly, cooperative relationship with your contractor.

7. Architects can present options you might not have considered and give your building style and also design it to work efficiently and solve problems of space  and function.

8. Architects are creative and good at problem solving, which comes in handy with renovations.

This may be just what you need

People who know their life purpose(lifework) are more directed, happy and fulfilled in their lives because they have a path on which they can consciously journey. But for those who don't, life is a continuous nightmare.

Yes, life is not fair, but please, don't get used to it...

Know Where You Belong

The reason why many find life frustrating today is not a rocket science.  It's  as simple as putting the right seed in the wrong soil or having the right soil  receiving the wrong seed. The right seed in the wrong soil will never germinate,  let alone flourish. 

The best football player placed in a music studio,  will never perform,  neither will the best musician do well on a football pitch.

Until you know the seed you carry, and the field on which to plant it,  you may never flourish.

Man can only flourish when planted in the field that has room for his dominant gift,  core strenght and unique abilities   and stays there for life.

Today, the only way out of frustration is to find out what you love doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.

THE POWER OF SELF-DISCOVERY

In my reflection recently, I discovered that people who don’t bother to discover who they are often live a life of no identity-ordinary lives.

I also found out that most celebrities in the world today across all field of work have just one thing in common—self-discovery (you may name any celebrity that you know across the world, and you’ll find out that this is true).

Self-Discovery Equals Wealth Discovery (Ask Local and World Class Celebrities)

Often times we are so much concerned about the future that we forget to discover what will actually take us there—the future.

And that goes to tell us that, without self-discovery;

You become an entity of no identity

You can never make any impact in life

Life becomes boring and meaningless

Choosing a perfect career path for you becomes a guess work or a difficult thing to do.

The truth is, the day you discover who you are is the day you are born….

I want to believe, reading this post today is someone;

Who wants to impact his or her world through self-discovery.

Who wants to be identified with ONE THING—something to associate his/her name with.

Who wants to experience true living other than mere existence.

Who wants to become a solution to someone’s problem.

Whose sense of value and worth is attached to his/her identity.

Who desire to remain relevant to life by his/her identified contribution to mankind.

Life is a journey, it’s never about speed but going in the right direction…

NOW, what exactly is self-discovery?

Self-discovery as it reads is a combination of two words: Self + Discovery

Self, means an individual person (herself, himself, oneself, myself)

Discovery on the other hand is gotten from the verb- ‘Discover’ which means;

 1. To Uncover

2. To expose

3. To reveal

4. To make known.

Why do I need to discover my real-self?

Your number one mission is that of self-discovery.  If you know who you are, then you’d  be able to figure out what to do or not do.

You need self-discovery for the following reasons;

o   Identity

o   Relevance/ Impact / Solution

o   Self-Core Strength-Awareness

o   Determine lifework/Career path

o   Fulfilment

How do I discover my real-self?

The only cheapest way to discover WHO you are is by asking yourself these questions;

o   What is my dominant gift?

o   What makes me unlike every other person?

o   What do I like to do or hear about most times?

o   What energizes me?

o   What do I love? (Bill Gate loves computer. Tiger Wood loves gulf. Lionel Messi loves football. Asa loves music)

o   What do I love to read about?

o   What type of thoughts energizes me?

o   What would I read about all through the night with utmost pleasure?

o   What exactly do people consider my greatest gift?

All of these are clues to discovering who you really are. Get a pen and plain paper and start working on these questions…

You’re just about making the greatest discovery of your life…

What next?

Stay tuned….

Welcome To Sharing With Martins International SWMI™: Know Where You Belong

Welcome To Sharing With Martins International SWMI™: Know Where You Belong: THERE’S A STORY I ALWAYS LOVE TO SHARE with my audience each time I’m honored to speak at an engagement on choosing a career path. It’s a...

Just Praise!

"I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises."
(Psalm 34:1, NLT)

When you wake up in the morning, do you expect the goodness of God in your life? Do you set the tone of the day for success, favor and blessing with your words? Scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That's why it's so important to declare praises to God all throughout the day. Things may be bad all around you, people may be negative, complaining and discouraged, but don't let that spirit rub off on you. The worse it gets, the brighter you're going to shine. The good news is that no matter how you feel, no matter what's going on around you, you can choose your words. There's nothing that can stop you from constantly speaking His Word!

Today, I encourage you to be determined to set the tone for your day, week, month and year by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future. Remember, when you put God first, He promises to honor you. He will pour out His favor on you and lead you into life, health, strength and blessing all the days of your life!

Prayer

Father in heaven, I choose to bless You at all times. I choose to set the tone to receive Your favor, grace and mercy. Thank You for Your faithfulness at all times in Jesus' name. Amen and amen!

Walk Through

We’ve all been in seasons of life when we feel like things aren’t going our way, or we’re not where we want to be. In these times, it’s tempting to let discouragement and doubt come in and take away the peace and excitement you once had.

You may be in one of those seasons right now, struggling to truly be happy where you are. But this is not the way God wants you to live. He tells us in scripture that even in the difficult times, He is with us. Even when you can’t see a way out, He will make a way through. Even when things don’t turn out the way we planned, He has a plan to turn things around for our good.

The key is to not get upset about your circumstances. Instead, be determined to walk through to victory. Declare by faith that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Declare by faith that you are rising higher. Keep standing, keep believing and keep hoping because God has a bright future in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

"Father, I humbly come to You today giving You all that I am. I ask for Your peace in the midst of the storm. I ask for Your strength to stand strong, knowing that with You, I will walk through every adversity in Jesus’ name. Amen!"

Know When to Turn Away

In life, many of the challenges we face are simply distractions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our destiny. Maybe someone in the office isn’t as friendly to you as you’d like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your mailbox. Those things may be frustrating, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of eternity. You can’t allow the little things to cause strife in your life.

In scripture, just before David fought the giant Goliath, his brother Iliab tried to confront him. But David knew that arguing with Iliab wasn’t even worth his time and strength. He knew his real battle was with Goliath, and he didn’t want to be distracted. He simply “turned away” from Iliab and kept his focus on what he was called to do.

Let’s follow the example of David and keep our eyes on what’s most important in life. Instead of being led away by frustrations, let’s focus on the big picture. Know when to turn away from strife and receive the mark of honor the Lord has for you!

A Prayer for Today

"Father God, thank You for Your hand of victory in my life. Give me the wisdom and courage I need to walk away from strife so I can focus on the destiny You have prepared for me. I love You and bless You today and always in Jesus’ name. Amen."

Today’s Scripture

"It is an honour for a man to cease from strife…"
(Proverbs 20:3, KJV)

*Hiding in the Right Place*

Have you ever watched children play hide and seek? They look for the best place to hide in the house or yard and wait quietly for their friend to try to find them. It’s a fun game for kids, but even as adults, we need a good place to hide from time to time. Sometimes we need a place of refuge, we need a place of safety, and we need a place to rest when we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances of life—a place where the enemy of our soul can never find us.

The good news is that God has the perfect hiding place for you! You don’t have to hide in your job. You don’t have to hide in relationships. You don’t have to hide in food or addictions because God Himself promises to hide you! He freely offers you shelter from the storms of life any time you call upon His name.

Remember, there’s only one place the enemy cannot find you. There’s only one place where opposition cannot steal from you. There’s only one true place of safety and rest for your soul, and that is in the arms of Jesus. Know that He loves you, and He is ready to receive you when you call upon His name!

A Prayer for Today

"Father, today I come humbly before You giving You all that I am. Thank You for hiding me in Your shelter and keeping me safe from the storms of life. My soul finds rest in You as I seek You and praise Your holy name in Jesus’ name. Amen."

Today’s Scripture

"In the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock."
(Psalm 27:5, NIV)

Today is blessed. Enjoy.

To Whom It May Concern!

Hello my dear friend,

It's just funny how people compare their lives with others.

The truth is, we all are journeying through life on different paths. It doesn't matter if we are all born on the same day. Even if we are, that doesn't make our journeys the same.

For some, the first part of their journey is so stony that they are unable to move as fast as they wish. So, they worry and envy others who are having presently having a jolly ride; not knowing that, just at the bend for others, is a rock waiting, that they may have to pull down before they continue on their journey, while at their own bend, which they know not, is an express, that makes for a good cruise, after their stony path.

That you're having it first rough, doesn't mean an express isn't ahead of you to cruise on.

That you are having it smooth now, doesn't mean you should look down on others who are not.

You have absolutely no idea of what awaits everyone on their journey of life.

Everybody has at least one rock or another to weather on their journey through life. It may be at the beginning or at the ending.

So, why the envy? Why the mockery?

When others are happy, be happy with them. When they are sad, sympathise with them.

When you see someone who's down,  lift him/her up, if you can. So, someone may lift you up, too, in your own downtime of life. Nobody knows TOMOROW. Tables turn. 

Nonetheless, put your trust in God. And be grateful for each moment. Life is a personal race, focus on your track and keep moving. It can only get better.

I don't know who this is for...

Know Where You Belong

THERE’S A STORY I ALWAYS LOVE TO SHARE with my audience each time I’m honored to speak at an engagement on choosing a career path. It’s a story of a competition between a dolphin and a monkey. They were both asked to come and showcase what they know how best to do. So, the moderator gave the game rules for both competitors.

Dolphin was the first to display what he’s got. In no time, the game began. So, dolphin started out, showing everyone his wonderful diving skills as he dives through the waters at one side and emerging at the other side.

Everyone was thrilled at his skills, with a resounding applause. In a short while, it was monkey’s turn. “Mr. Monkey, it’s your turn to show us what you’ve got!” the moderator asked. Without much ado, monkey was already on the tree. Spinning with style from one tree to another, with one hand holding the tree branches and his tail dangling and wiggling.

Everyone watched with amazement and got so dumbfounded at the skills with which monkey was swapping from one tree to another. In less than five minutes, monkey had gone round the forest of about hundreds of trees across the river bank. No doubt, everyone was thrilled and astonished at the skills both the dolphin and monkey displayed while they were doing what they enjoy doing the most.

Again, the moderator stepped in to announce the second stage. This time, he asked that monkey would exchange role with dolphin. That is, monkey would come down from the trees, and jump into the waters like dolphin did in the first stage. For a moment, monkey thought to himself; “What competition type is this? But I sure will apply the same skill with which I jumped the trees.”

With a resounding shout from the spectators, monkey jumped into the waters, and for the first five minutes, monkey was nowhere to be found. As the spectators watched, the resounding shout went drastically down like an electric current that had just lost stability. “What could have happened?” The spectators began to murmur.

And now, their anxiety was raised. There was a sudden calm as they all watched with dismay. A few minutes later, monkey raised up his head in a struggle to prevent his mouth from being filled with water. To cut the long story short, monkey was rescued from drowning completely.

Now, dolphin was afraid to step out of the waterbody, knowing fully well that he was going to mess up. Nevertheless, he mustered courage. The moment dolphin jumped out of the waterbody, he began to struggle, as he gasped for oxygen. The once excited spectators became so disappointed. Because they had expected dolphin to perform excellently as he had performed in the first stage of the competition. But to their dismay, dolphin too could not make it.

You see friend, just as the story illustrated above, in the animal kingdom, not all animals can fly, not all animals can jump, and not all animals can crawl. Not all animals can sing like birds do. Not all animals can swim. As a matter of fact, every animal has been wired or designed specifically for a purpose or a function. Everyone has got a role to play in life according to life-design.

In the same vein, in the human race(career wise), every man belongs to a particular ‘kingdom’ where he abides and reigns.

As a social being, when man remains and abides in his domain-his area of strength by design, he cannot but be celebrated. People are always amazed at the way he does his things. People would want to identify with him. But the moment he shifts away from his natural abilities, he naturally begins to struggle like a fish taken out of waters!

There's more to this...

If this story made any sense to you, do well to share with all your contacts...

Get Ready for the "New"

Are you ready for a new chapter in your life? In order to move forward into the blessings God has for you, you have to be willing to let go of the old. The things that are behind you are not nearly as important as what is out in front of you. It’s time to get ready for the “new”!

You may have had some unfair things happen, things that you don’t understand. But let me tell you, you have come too far to stop now. Instead of allowing those things to hold you back, why don’t you let go and take a step of faith into the new? It’s time to get a new, bigger vision; it’s time to get a new, fresher outlook; it’s time to rise up with a new attitude! Instead of settling where you are, pick up and move forward. Have the attitude that says, “I may not understand it; it may not have been fair, but I am not getting stuck on this page. I know God has a new chapter for me—a chapter filled with blessings, favor and victory!
