A FLASH IS ENOUGH

Greetings to you all my people, I am sure you wonder why I have not written here all this time. Honestly, I just didn’t have the urge to write anything and I want it to be real each time I sit here and write stuff. I have been through a lot lately and this morning I got the urge to finally write this piece and tell you all that a flash is enough.

Many people have grown up believing that the whole world owes them something and the world should pay particular attention to them for reasons only these people can understand. Many have grown with a heart filled with complaints and also a safety first approach to life and this has led many to mediocre lives or a deep feeling of low self worth.

These people never go out of their way to try anything or learn anything. They just keep waiting for the perfect day and perfect time, hence, hindering other people around them because of this weakness of theirs. I have seen many people complain and judge everyone who has come in contact with them and say it is because of him, her, and them that they haven’t reached their own personal goals.

Therefore, I received the leading from GOD this morning to write this message to everyone who is reading this now and those who would read it later. The message is (a flash is enough). I would do my best to explain what I mean with a few illustrations.  I am convinced that many of you would be blessed and would spring into action when you read this.

A baby can cry all He/she wants for hours the parents many times would only know the exact problem when the baby gives them a flash. A sign, a gesture that suggests the baby wants to do A, B, C, and D. The minute the baby points at His mother’s breasts the Mum knows immediately without a doubt and she feeds her baby. The baby didn’t have to write a letter, proposal, or give a speech. The baby knows that a flash is enough.  I have been learning to swim for a while now and I would go into the pool and just do anything I think feels like swimming, get half way across the pool, and start to struggle for air. The life guard would usually see me there daily but He never said anything. One day, I saw this elderly European swimming and decided that I would imitate this man and do exactly what I see. Then, I started to imitate Him. Immediately the life guard who had been quiet all this time got up, walked straight to me and started to teach me how to use that style perfectly. Within 12 hours, I was able to swim across the pool, to and from, without running out of breath halfway. The elderly European and the life guard instantly became my instructors immediately I gave them a flash.

Many of you have talents, dreams, visions and hopes. Many out there are still in the school of complaints. Complaining about this and that which is totally normal sometimes but my point is it shouldn’t end there. GOD said it is impossible to please HIM if you don’t have faith. I also want to believe you know that faith is an act and the actions you take would show how much faith you have got. A Flash is what you need, show those people what you can do, start practicing, go for try outs, do not wait for the perfect day. Make today the perfect day, a flash is enough, GOD Bless you. 

The Unexpected One.

Yes, I feel really led to write this one. Its late and I had a very tough day today but lovely one at that. I have noticed a trend and I see it happening again and I feel I should just write this now.I just hope that you read this one and really gain something from this because of the season we are in spiritually and physically.

 Now, Faith is a supernatural ability its not something that comes naturally to a people. Its takes a super natural being to understand what someone who is supernatural is saying ,to really be able to digest it and work with it. Unfortunately, there are not many supernatural people around so when a supernatural person says something in the midst of natural thinking people, His words are like the sound of thunder,heard but very easily forgotten.



I have noticed that the people who really hit it hard and made a mark at first were the " unexpected ones" the ones who didn't really look like it. People really didn't expect much from them because there wasn't anyone like them. Now isn't that ironic, there is no one like JESUS, yet we worship Him,you would think that when there is none like something or someone everyone would want and like it or the person right ? But its not so many times for the unexpected one. The fact that He is different makes people hate and detest Him more.

JESUS CHRIST who preached LOVE, peace, redemption, Freedom, and a new day " to mention a few". You feel they should have accepted Him right ? He did nothing wrong right ? He sin was that  He was distinct and unique. That should be great and Loveable right ? Followed right ? That's not the case of the unexpected one. JESUS was likened to lamb in the Bible,they expected a Lion saviour the didn't see that the Lion decided to come as a Lamb. the just misunderstood and misjudged Him.

Joseph the dreamer in the Bible. His Brothers would have never imagined that the little kid they threw away would later become the saviour of His family and nations. He was the unlikely one. He was the least expected. Their tiny, big mouthed,over ambitious little Brother. Love was not the light to show them the way and so the tried to destroy their own way.

David was the youngest," inexperienced"to the common Man, the most hated discouraged, the most unexpected. This is a classic example for everyone to see. Even His enemy Goliath was surprised that David would be sent out to fight Him. David was always in the bush and His father forgot to call Him out when He was told to call all His sons. He had to be reminded about David.

Who would have thought that Jay-z (Shawn Carter), the same Boy/Man who sold drugs on the streets of Brooklyn,New York. The same person who was kicked out of record labels and told He was no good, would become as great as He is now.The one who sold His CD's form His Cars trunk. Jay-Z's rap style was not in existence then, it was unique, and His voice too. The should have Loved Him for that right ? Nope. He faced opposition and hate.

Muhammad Ali, was the first Heavyweight Boxer who moved gracefully, evaded punches like a light weight boxer with His hands down, would punch hard, sharp and fast, smile and chat with the press and clown at every time He had a chance to. They should have Loved Him right ? Followed Him all the way with praises right ? His sin was that they just couldn't understand Him and so , they chose to hate and mock Him as much as they could.

Dr Ben Carson was so good that when people got to the Hospital and they noticed it was just a small framed black Man, they thought twice about changing doctors even with His degrees, fame and qualifications. What was His sin? He was young, black, and too good to be true. They expected to see a bald headed doctor with some grey hair on the side. A big pot belly, and a lab coat to cover it all up. They didn't like the unexpected one even though its what they really dreamed of. How Ironic.


Lionel Messi, that short a kid who was considered short among kids. Known to be very shy as He touched the football pitch for the firts time at the age of 13(Hope that's correct). I am sure He was very young but surely was one of the most unexpected ones. He wasn't instantly regarded as the one but He knew He had it within Him.

I can go on and on here about people who have touched me including Mario Balotelli because these people have touched me in no little way but there is someone I want to talk about right now and the person for some serious coincidental happens to be ........................................................



YOU, for some reason you saw this on Facebook,twitter, or wherever and you didn't hold back.  You saw it and decided for some reason to read this. I know many people especially those you expected to easily understand you, have made you think twice about who you are, if you are for real, and if you really have a chance. I tell you this day, you are the one, the most likely who just appears to be the worst decision. Yes, I ask you at this hour to press harder than you have ever before.The night is darkest just before dawn, don't stop please, not now. It would have been better if you didn't start at all. You must let Love lead you to believing in yourself now more than ever. Let Love be the light to show the way,its time for you. The best one's I noticed are usually hated first, its a bitter pill to swallow but I see it a lot. Not all the time but at pivotal times I see you.In the end, like with all these names up there they always come back and accept you, the give you your due Love and respect. Yes you, the unexpected one.

FAKE GOOD GIRLS.........

Altight, yes war against indiscipline!!loool enough is enough.   I know you can't wait to see what I have to say this time. Well I can't wait to finish writing this time. There's a song I Love to play when I mean serious business while training and I have it playing loud right now " serious stuff".   Yes, this is addressing the issue with these new generation girls putting all the blame on everyone. Saying a lot of things that have really caused me to get upset, put this post out there to allow some of these Men breathe easy.


Yes, in Nigeria its expected that you stay away from pre-marital sex and that the wedding night is the chief off all nights where the real marriage begins. Times have changed now and the trend has changed, people do not care about many of these so called values anymore. You are allowed to live anyway you like, no one should judge the other person,be true to yourself and that's what matters. I agree with some of these things to an extent but I have noticed something that has forced me to write this here tonight. 
I have attended many singles programs and have seen many girls in LAGOS, NIGERIA say

 " I don't know what wrong with these Men, they just come to you and you already know that the only thing on their minds is sex, they just look at you in such and such a way and you know it. They would say their last boyfriend who they thought was a "Christian Brother" had the same thing in His mind and they left Him because He made them have sex with them once and the regret this and that  " 

I have noticed that this particular story is very common among the "good girls". I then had to gather my team and we has a full scale investigation and we discovered a few things I would like to share with you especially for Men who have their brain working well and Women who want to learn and change.

1. Those Women have denied that they also want to have sex or that they have the urge at all. It was the Brother that just did it somehow and it wasn't rape " wow"

2. They also want to play the good girl card only because its a norm and not because that's what they want and that's why they are still at the " singles meetings" LOOOOL!

3. If they had their way and were in different locations of the world you'd see totally different individuals from the ones we see here "fake ones"

4. Its is usually when they have made all the mistakes possible that you see them analysing. They usually don't take any blame for what happens it always the Men.

Now let me tell you what really happens. ManT girls claim the want to wait till marriage, they want a good Man, good family, etc.. So they meet this guy who GOD has sent to them, a guy who has decided too wait till marriage. I tell you there are still many out there,the relationship starts and the Love starts to grow and emotions grow also. Now the Man says a lot of words to this girl who is so moved by His Love and all that she is ready to "go", she wants to "get it" but because of the norms she can not say it but its so overwhelming. The Man feels the same way but somehow is able to control Himself  which the girl likes and dislikes this at the same time. ( CONFUSION TIME) Now girls may not admit it but they like it when they are able to subdue any Man and even if you don't "do it" they like to keep the memory of being able to over power you it gives a sense of security, womanhood . From my research most Men fall for this, things get awkward and there is a split up that leaves both of them wounded for a long time and then either become wild and ready to "go" anywhere or have some deep hatred and crave solitude. On the other hand if this guy suddenly doesn't fall for this, the lady feels less  a Woman, less appealing and feels that if She couldn't make Him weak even "once" or just subdue Him and make Him come after her and have her stop the action ,He may not really Love her or be into her. She then many times "form our research" look for the "dumbest" reason in the world to break up with this Man and then end up in the singles meeting again LOOOL!!. Only to come to the meeting and say " He is too short, and I left Him for that or say He was the "one" I had sex with and I know all men are bad. She never includes all the schemes she played to check how "adored" or "appealing" she was and where it has brought her to. She blames the helpless Man, who is left in utter confusion and in the dark. If you go to most singles meetings in Lagos Nigeria, this is the story of many of the singles you would find there.

Anyone who really want to get married and be happy just does it. There is no other way it can go,but there are a lot of  "distracted singles" which I have written about and " fake good girls" out there and this has lead to more confusion. I would write abut the fake good Men soon. Till then feel free to comment  bye/adios!! " I Love my Spanish" Amor Uno.

THE LAST MINUTE. " RUN FREE"

 BUENOS DIAS!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!, yes I am very happy this morning. Well, there is this friend of mine "I'm blushing" who had been upset with me for a while. Its over now!!! " lol". Before you start asking questions, lets go to " The Last Minute, Run Free ".
 Yes, this post has everything to do with my experience this morning as I went out to "chip out the second half" one of my many names for training.This experience is one that I feel would motivate us to a new day. I feel it would take us to a day we never thought was possible. I feel it would inspire the real you in there the inner you. Before I start please say to someone near you " Run Free" whisper it.  lol.

This morning at a little after 5am I woke up and went out to get my training on. I went to my spot and did some major league shadow boxing as my warm up and then started to run. I then proceeded to my obstacle course " self-made" and had a gruesome workout. It was so intense that I let go some tears after training. The tears came because I was able to do stuff I didn't think I could do at first. After this I went to do the final one mile run. I felt good running after such hard work at the obstacle course, I then got half way and decided to shuffle and throw combinations through out the other half  of the mile. As I approached a mark that stands for a quarter of a mile I had this deep feeling that I should turn around and go for it. I felt I should run as fast as I can till the end. I was soaked in sweat at this point,tired,aching from the obstacle course. I then heard in my head " run free" several times. As I looked to the other side of the road I suddenly say a Woman who wanted my services but was never around or somehow we couldn't reach an agreement. This Woman is at least 110kg. For her height and bone structure She is seriously overweight but I was shocked, she was "RUNNING" just before my take off point. Again I heard the voice again " run free", " run free", I saw an old Man almost beside me looking at me as though in awe of my dedication because of how much I was sweating. I heard it again " run free". Now with the Woman running,the Man looking at me and the very loud music from my music player I turned around and ran for my life, for eternity, for destiny, one of the best sprints I have ever ran in my life. I ran for my soul, I ran for everything that is worth running for. As I got to the end I raised my hands up and suddenly let out an involuntary scream that could be heard at least from 200 meters away.

Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challlenges, and I believe in myself.

-Muhammad Ali, boxing

My message, run, go for it!!! Let nothing limit you! Let nothing stop you!!! Attack!!! Run free, I know you feel tired,take all the inspiration around you. Look deep you would find a reason, you would see the light. Please, when you see that light, don't even think!!! Attack!!!, punch, kick, go!!! Let it be that there was nothing left in your tank!! Go!!! We all  have that last minute within us, find it, and run free. The GRACE OF GOD WOULD SEE YOU through. " I am a Christian and I believe in JESUS CHRIST. Let Love be the light, it would show you the way.   1 LOVE 

     

Dear Good Man.

Dear Good Man,

          I felt this deep urge to send this letter to you because I have an idea of what you are going through and I know how you feel. Its hard, I know but deep inside you there is a voice that knows you are tougher and can make it to the end if you don't give up.I was thinking about you good Man and I thought I should write this.


       
        I know your number one problem is how invisible you have become, the Women have prayed and fasted for you and by the Grace of GOD you showed up but somehow they did not see you. Some of you were seen but then were not felt, some spoke but were not heard,some touched but were not felt. Yes, I know how you feel. You see when JESUS CHRIST was here in the physical He faced the same challenges from His people. They need Him to do something "big" they didn't see HE was something big. You know He had to borrow a camel, they didn't realize who He was and they can not see you now.


    
           You complain about doing good and not being given credit for it or being heard at all but then the guys with the scams and tricks seem to be the most felt. Do you not remember Barabas, the one who was a known armed robber, a "correct criminal", a thief. When it was time for the people to choose between the one who only healed and said the truth to all people they didn't go for the "good guy". They went for popular opinion,what their friends would say and parents would think.

          Dear good Men, I understand you feel empty sometimes and feel like its not worth it but I tell you. The Boxer who would fight for 12 rounds trains twice as hard  for 24 rounds. The Boxers who fight for 6 rounds only train for 12 rounds, and the 4 rounder trains for 8 rounds. My point is you are going for the 12 rounder marriage, the 12 rounder business partner, the 12 rounder life style and that's why its so hard and seems like forever. But be strong and take courage because, it is written that no eye has seen nor ear heard or heart conceived the plans that GOD has for those who Love HIM and are called according to His purpose.

          I heard one of you say that they mocked you,well they mocked JESUS, they don't believe you, well they didn't believe Him, they insulted you, they spat on HIM , they killed Him but now by HIM they can't kill you. Is that not a beauty,is that not a " shot of adrenaline" into your system. Life has many twists and turns and they are sometime placed to check if you would change form after going through a sharp curve.The car that make the journey is the one that recognizes the curve, is able to maneuver its way around it and not run into it or stop moving because there is a curve ahead. The curve may slow you down for a bit but at the end you pedal down and keep going.

       One thing I can guarantee you is that at the end they would always turn back and confess that you were for real and came around.They would admit that they were blind, they were lazy and they were stubborn. You would be where you were destined to be and be grateful to GOD  that you went through it. At that time you would not be complaining like you are doing now. No, you wouldn't you would arise with Love and Joy like the a child then you really are inside.If the end is guaranteed to taste good, please hold on dear good Man.

 

        Lastly good Man, promise me this please. When they come back after all these years,weeks months,days or even decades. Please try to accommodate them,find a way to smile and share with them. Good Man,find a way to genuinely laugh because they all came together to mysteriously build your character.  Dear Good Man its said that all good things come to an end,I disagree because its always the best at the end when you leave this earth. Words, can't describe the Love an joy that's on the other side.I wish you all the best Sir.


                                                                                                              From Shawn.
        

MY NEIGHBOURS DOG

        I am sure you all wonder why I have a post that has to do with what a real Man and instead of writing that I wrote my neighbors Dog. Yes as you read on you would understand. First, I sense a lot of loneliness around for people who want to do it right. No one believes or truly understands you, you have tried and tried but still haven't got the desired level of attention. Yes, I know where you are at and this has led me to write this one.

     You ,yes you . A real Man indeed. Now, who is a real Man ? A real Man for me is one who  first and foremost has GOD as number one priority in His life. When Adam was in the Garden of Eden He had GOD at the center of His heart and was able to work at His best. He was doing His work perfectly, the minute He started to put other things above the rules of GOD  to Him He fell. So without wasting time listing the other things a real Man is about, I would say that a real Man is someone who has GOD at the center of His heart and the signs to show is the ability of this Man to Love. He also craves to be Loved and adored just like GOD does. Man was made in GOD'S image and likeness.

   One evening I was talking a walk all over my estate. I walked down almost every street of my very quiet estate( except for the noise from generators here and there). I walked around thinking about stuff with so many issues in my mind. One serious part of it was the part of my mind that concerns my life partner (I've been thinking about that lately). I thought about all the ladies I know and the ones I thought were potential "candidates lol" and the one I recently thought was the one and a lot. After a while I got tired and was heading to my house. There are two ways to get home the short and long way. Something deep prompted me to go the long way and I did.

As I walked down that road I was wondering why I was going through the longer road. I just kept walking and then I saw my neighbors dog. Every time I go pass that house I see her(dog),jumping all over the place as soon as she sets her eyes on me. One this particular evening it was even more intense, she was allover the place as I moved closer to the gate. She was making all kinds of moves and gestures inviting me to run around with her and I did. She was excited, she would run away and make me chase her and then run back. If I didn't come after her she would draw so close and jump on my irresistible arms lool! As I tried to leave, she was out of breath trying everything to make me stay and play a little longer but I had to go. She tried harder and I stayed a bit but when She ran away to return almost immediately I left.

  It was at that point I realized that a "real" Man just deeply wants to be with a Woman who's eyes light up when She sees Him. A Woman who adores Him, one who would do anything to make sure He is at home with her. A Woman who understands, how to treat Him and understands His point of view. I also noticed that " the dog" had to run away before I was able to leave. A real Man never leave a Woman He Loves as for as long as She is honestly available for Him. 

A real Man is not the one with the most muscle all over His body,or the one who has the most money in His account. A real Man is one with the mind of GOD, the one with the LOVE of GOD at the center of HIS existence, the one who can not operate outside (EDEN). Eden represents the presence of GOD. All this came to my mind when I saw my neighbors dog. Are you a real Man ? Women, are you with a real Man or chasing a real Man away ? Maybe you would get the answer when you play with your neighbors dog (lol).

HURTING ????.....BE STRONG

I am a Lover, I am in Love,I know you may not believe me, but I am always in Love. Fired up, I always get in trouble, I always get hurt and heart broken. I get used, misunderstood, misinterpreted  and misjudged. In all these things I stay strong because in all my years I have discovered that in LOVE I always find a way.

the race begins, the truth remains strong and constant and the lies flounder like smoke. Only this time they never even existed. If you are alone in the race of life, one thing I ask of you. Never give up, keep going.

NO CAR NO GIRLFRIEND IN NIGERIA

Statistics have shown that 80% of men in Nigeria are truly lonely people and that most of their acts of confidence are just ridiculously fake. Is it true that in Nigeria now, 80% of Women would not go on a date with a Man who doesn't have a car ????????? .....This is particularly not my ideal post up but I need to get this out there and see what you all think!! Comments!! Put your comments below!!!

G.G IS HERE!!!!

(G.G) GOD'S GREATEST.. BOXER OF ALL TIMES.
