MONTEÈCLAIRS TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVE

Femi Onifade brought this up in the Monteeclairs whatsapp group and I feel it's worth sharing because a lot of have 'interesting yet vague' ideas of what it means to be MATURE.  For instance, when my mum was a spinster , one of her suitors considered her mature because he farted (mess) so much when he went visiting and she didn't say a word about it nor show how smelly it was (like rotten eggs mixed with 3 day old beans).  I'm glad she didn't marry him. Enjoy the article! Usually, I hear a few people talk about maturity and I have discovered that their mindsets and thoughts are always tilted towards age, natural growth and development, and material possessions but Inasmuch as I try not to argue---I think maturity in real life has got only a little to do with achieving natural growth and development. To be more direct, a matured person is one who is able to live life with principles and wisdom. One who delights in humility and learning from others. A ...

The name,  JESUS, is POWERFUL #iLoveToCallYourName #olowogbogboro That name literally saved my life in an accident today.  Praise God with me through this song.  Click this link - https://soundcloud.com/beryl-ehondor/beryl-i-love-to-call-your-name  The gospel song - I LOVE TO CALL YOUR NAME released on 27th of May, 2017, is for the healing of nations and all mankind. Great people also sacrificed to make this song, now their sacrifice is going to heaven as a sweet smelling aroma of worship.

CARTOONS: HOW SAFE…? Dear Parents, I trust your day was productive. Whether or not it was, you still try to provide for your children, the basics at least, food, shelter, education and some entertainment. Aha! The entertainment, that’s my interest today. My interest goes beyond my being born on children’s day (27th May), my having lots of children, a child’s heart or the fact that I watch cartoons, science-fiction and animated films to relax. Nope! In fact my relaxation today reached an anti-climax suddenly as I finished a popular cartoon adapted to movie. Thoughts about the creeping effect of this sinister plot and the fact that parents, with their hard earned money and much love, are paying for the possible ruin of their children and the future. Now you relax, hell isn’t let loose yet. This post is ‘without prejudice’. So sip some water and try to answer these simple questions; When last did you buy a cartoon DVD or pay for your cable TV? How many times have you sat with you...

Some feedback came after our first post on haunting hurt (See link www.monteeclairs.com/2017/05/haunting-hurt.html) ; someone was just about to hurt other people because he was hurt, then he read the post and changed his mind. A lot of people are hurting and it's human to hurt sometimes. The source of the hurt are usually around and don't seem to care, maybe they were hurt too, and so their minds are distorted, smeared and blinded against others hurting. The source of the hurt is many cases someone close , someone  admired or not , like your father, mother, sibling,  Pastor,  Elder,  townsmen, boyfriend,  girlfriend,  church-folk, colleague, neighbours, cousins, extended relatives, husband,  wife,  in-laws , your ex, the supervisor,  lecturer, bossman,  the president, the country,  robbers...the list is endless and so seems your pain. So you hold them down with barb wires in your mind or so you think. You build a wa...

Maduka once shared with me how angry he was when I declined nominations to lead the youth department in 2013 after serving in different capacities (within the Youth Ministry) in almost a decade. Eventually, this gave rise to the birthing and discovery of new and amazing leaders; while i moved on to achieve bigger things, plus leading new units and improving my life. As i write to encourage leaders to learn to Let-Go, i am reminded of the natural phenomenon that 'Stagnant water stinks'.  Letting go feels like losing control but still Let-go to extend capacity, increase energy, and enhance fulfilment, for yourself and for others. Letting go unlocks the potential of others and yourself (you'd be surprised).  Letting go isn’t:  Giving up, s hirking responsibility or p assive acquiescence; it should be strategically planned for the greater good and optimal productivity. I am a leader,  a #leadershipfreak and I'd like you to trust me when I...

i have come to discover that those who abuse others were abused at some point in their lives. It then seems to become part of their DNA, a sinister part of them that comes out when no one is watching. It's overpowering, controlling and leaves them with guilt after the deed. Sometimes they do worse things to deal with the hurt and guilt. Sometimes they hurt people they love in the process and the guilt mounts up...more hurt in their body and soul. -He was raped as a child, now he’s a man and only attracted to young boys. She watched her mother beaten all the time by father till he abandoned them, she’s a woman now and won’t take nonsense from any man, hurting her sweet husband. Nobody was kind to me as i climbed the ladder , why should i help anyone; those who should have helped me didn’t, why should i be merciful? i suffered and they must suffer too. The gory images of what they did to me and i did haunt me, i doubt i can be free from it- is this your gist? It can change you kn...

Many ask and continuously seek their purpose in life knowing that being on this planet is not a mistake. While you search, know that your life matters and there's no fixed formula to finding your place in life, but there's one source, God.  Meanwhile, there are guides that could help you make the most of your days on this planet, help you take charge, have dominion and find pleasure under God. One of the guides that could help especially with choosing a career or finding yourself is asking the right questions.  Try out  Leonardo da Vinci 8 Power Questions and see where it takes you in the quest of #findingSelf. I've answered the questions to act as guide. Act on your assessments later, that's the critical part, faith without works is dead. Cheers! When am I most myself? When I’m sharing knowledge on a life issue that then transforms or moves the next person to another level or peace of mind. e.g. on #Monteeclairs Transformation Initiative or a long call just li...
