Odun Titun ( A new Dawn)

It's 2nd of January already and just a few hours ago we were still thinking about it...no time because time dey go, he no dey wait for anybody.

I have really thought about a lot of things, topics i want to write about, plans i want to execute, do's and dont's, imaginable and unimaginable but at the tail end of it all i have found out that nothing i have done in the past as been because i know how to do it..I've tried to many times and failed but every time i placed it on God's To Do list, it happens so effortlessly. Here are some steps you must take this year everytime you want to make any move this year.

Read Me

All i want to do for the rest of this year is thank God because I live because He lives
Come Join me in Praising Him

The Place Of Wisdom

I saw this scripture at the back of the shirt of a man this morning at the café and I bet he never knew the kind of revelation I got after reading it. I am still looking forward to thanking him whenever I get to see him again.

It is the place of wisdomand the path to understanding, I believe reading this passage of the Bible will throw more light on our path towards the search for the heavenly wisdom that surpasses all understanding. I know you will be blessed just as the Lord as blessed me through this man who wore the lovely T-shirt.

JOB @ 28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Job Tells of Earth's Treasures

1"Surely there is a [a]mine for silver

And a place where they refine gold.

2"Iron is taken from the dust,

And copper is smelted from rock.

3"Man puts an end to darkness,

And to the farthest limit he searches out

The rock in gloom and deep shadow.

4"He sinks a shaft far from habitation,

Forgotten by the foot;

They hang and swing to and fro far from men.

5"The earth, from it comes food,

And underneath it is turned up as fire.

6"Its rocks are the source of sapphires,

And its dust contains gold.

7"The path no bird of prey knows,

Nor has the falcon's eye caught sight of it.

8"The proud beasts have not trodden it,

Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

9"He puts his hand on the flint;

He overturns the mountains at the base.

10"He hews out channels through the rocks,

And his eye sees anything precious.

11"He dams up the streams from flowing,

And what is hidden he brings out to the light.

The Search for Wisdom Is Harder

12"But where can wisdom be found?

And where is the place of understanding?

13"Man does not know its value,

Nor is it found in the land of the living.

14"The deep says, 'It is not in me';

And the sea says, 'It is not with me.'

15"Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it,

Nor can silver be weighed as its price.

16"It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,

In precious onyx, or sapphire.

17"Gold or glass cannot equal it,

Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.

18"Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned;

And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls.

19"The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,

Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

20"Where then does wisdom come from?

And where is the place of understanding?

21"Thus it is hidden from the eyes of all living

And concealed from the birds of the sky.

22"Abaddon and Death say,

'With our ears we have heard a report of it.'

23"God understands its way,

And He knows its place.

24"For He looks to the ends of the earth

And sees everything under the heavens.

25"When He imparted weight to the wind

And meted out the waters by measure,

26When He set a limit for the rain

And a course for the thunderbolt,

27Then He saw it and declared it;

He established it and also searched it out.

28"And to man He said,

'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;

And to depart from evil is understanding.'"

In this portion of the Bible, Job maintained that the dispensations of Providence were regulated by the highest wisdom. To confirm this, he showed of what a great deal of knowledge and wealth men may make themselves masters. The caverns of the earth may be discovered, but not the counsels of Heaven. Go to the miners, thou sluggard in religion, consider their ways, and be wise. Let their courage and diligence in seeking the wealth that perishes, shame us out of slothfulness and faint-heartedness in labouring for the true riches. How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! How much easier, and safer! Yet gold is sought for, but grace neglected. Will the hopes of precious things out of the earth, so men call them, though really they are paltry and perishing, be such a spur to industry, and shall not the certain prospect of truly precious things in heaven be much more so? (Job 28:12-19)

12:59amSAM
I SEE

1:00amAbidemi
the world seeks the brain of Nigerians

with over 40000 Nigerian doctors in the usa
and profesionals with the greenest blood running in their veins.. naija is out to take it over and na God

from recent statistics during my reSearch for the
world bank essay thing i did this year

i found out that if the president of the USA should fall sick today and needs any form of operation that needs 9 surgeons, 3 of them will be Nigerians
it's a fact that can no long be denied
i read oracle magazine and in every issue the real people behind the dbase giants are Nigerians and not just Nigerians
yoruba's
talk abot the things of God
the second largest pentecostal ministry in the USA is pastored by a nigeerian
the largest in the UK is led by a Naija man
and even in far ukraine
God leads His largest ministry in the trust of a Nigerian
i will not be suprised if tmrw the geneology of Obama is traced back to a Nigerian

1:10amAbidemi
someday you will know why Yoruba is now being studied in universities in the
USA and UK
its somethin am pround of bcos it is the only language that as been discovered to have a statiscal..and mathematica base

1:14amSAM
isit?


1:18amAbidemi
sure it is the only language in the world with such capabilities
and odu ifa is a whole insitution of it own while it is just a part of the natural life of the yoruba's.

1:21amAbidemi
counting in yoruba reequires back tracking, addition and subtraction
multiplication and division and all of this are embedded in the language and comes naturally with it
100 is not 100, it is a multiple of something and it is thus represented in that manner in the yoruba language
one hundred is called ogorun...
meaning ogun marun
ogun is 20 while arun is 5

1:25amAbidemi
and 5 twenties will naturaly give us a hundred
this is one of the reason are brain is more developed

1:28amSAM
DATS INTERESTING
MA MUM NEVA TLD ME DAT

1:28amAbidemi
we task it from the basics..and this mathematical manipulations starts from no 15. arundinlogun meaning 20 minus 5

1:30amAbidemi

that's very possible


my mum never did as well

i found out because my brain developed in an environment where it is tasked daily and allowed to reason and deduce solutions to situations surrounding it.

1:33amSAM
WELL ENGLISH IS PRETTY SIMPLE SO
DEM TINGS DNT REQUIRE DEDUCING SOLUTIONS
UNLESS UR DOIN QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

1:35amAbidemi
thats the beauty of the nature u've got..all the quadratic equations of nature becomes a natural part of life and you experience and apply them effortlessly

English language is very shallow language

and even the crown knows that, although they pride it cos it's the only one they've got

ekabo in yoruba means welcome

but th english language has no logical or right word for eku-ile

1:51amAbidemi
just be glad you are Nigerian Ayomide Adegunle

there is noting like it.


HE NEVER KNEW ABOUT IS RICH HERITAGE BECAUSE HIS PARENTS NEVER TOLD HIM..TELL SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR RICH, UNEQUALLED HERITAGE TODAY AND YOU WILL GLAD YOU DID
(I felt happy doing this, now i know why the heavens rejoice when a single lost soul is saved)

Oju Iwe (FaceBook)

We walk through thick and stroll through thick but in all of it we are never alone. A friend sitting right beside me just asked me a question, what do we stand to gain using Facebook? and I answered without giving it a thought "We use it to waste our time" and that was it.

I later sat down down to take a closer look at my answer and I Kinda found out that it was never a waste of time. I have met quite a number of wonderful people through facebook, found lost friends and got even closer to those that were never lost but were never around. We shared picture; new and old ones, bringing back good memories of the times we've share. We share notes, our thoughts and ideas travelling tru time and spaces, we talk about the things we do, while the world discovers who we are and a whole lot more. I thimk in all, what you get out of anything in life is just what you put into it.

Although Facebook as taken a large chunk of my time sometimes, I found out that it only took what I gave to it..and it as brought me wonderful opportunities I couldn't have found else where!
