📲ONLINE OR OFFLINE PALAVER (INTERNET OR REAL WORLD?)🤷‍♂️

Part 1 - Why Choose One?
This online or offline thing ehn, just have the right perspective biko. If you believe it will work for you, it will; and if you don't, it won't - simple! If you know where this online thing is going, you won't despise it. 

Let's forget those that are great and made it in life with or without it but here is it; both online and offline (internet and real world) now depend on one another because we are in a global and civilized world.

Part 2 - Reward💰
Even those that were not alive when this online thing was invented and made it as great people offline now appear visibly than the people in its time. 

The same with their biography and life works, why? Because they already have both or either influence and/or affluence before dying. 

This is to tell you that, the same way the real world rewards the labour, work and impact of men with influence and/or affluence, such it is for the internet world too. 

Part 3 - Influence and/or affluence?
Although both can stand alone with each influence and/or affluence but for the need of world impact, track record, history, life trust, Dominion and visibility to be fulfilled; both depend on each other, how?

Either ways, you have to start small either on one before the other or with both altogether. But hear is it, this online thing grants influence first before affluence except for those that already have influence and/or affluence in the real world. 

Part 4 - Fake or Real?
So, you see both are real. Both God and the devil have proven through men to men over time that either of these two (especially the once neglected internet world that has spread so fast as good and bad influence all over the world) is not limited at all. 

Both seems fake and real at the same time because the spiritual and supernatural (spirit world-eternity) is more real than the first two. 

Part 5 - Perspective And Criticism
I just hope you have the right perspective. Can we stop criticizing ourselves, either you've made it online or offline without the help of the other? 

Because definitely those who makes use of both effectively don't despise any, it is those that do not have the right perspective about one of them since they haven't paid attention to the efficacy of the other. 

Part 6 - Perspective And Criticism(II)
Whatever you don't make use of effectively or have the right perspective about, you can't value and be successful with. Whatever you dishonour and refuse won't work for you either. 

Stop criticizing those starting small especially online, either because they don't have influence or affluence online and/or offline yet. 

Part 7 - Money Making or Starting Small?
The same way money making is not easy offline (real world) for some, so it is online (internet world) for others (vice versa). The same way money making is easy online for some, so it is offline for others too; vice versa. 

Allow people to build themselves in their own little way to the path of greatness and world impact. Of course, we all know it is necessary to have both influence and affluence in the real world (offline) but is it bad for people to start with the internet (online) when the resources or human capacity to have such results offline are not there? 

Part 8 - The Future and I
Let me tell you, this online thing, the way it is going ehn, it will get to a level no one would be able to do without it and in fact, it would be so presented and offered preferably than the offline thing we've been used to all our lives as humans (like it happened during Covid). 

By God's grace, I've got Flaming Sword Publications and Ministries as a Minister and teacher, leader, writer, author, publisher etc; aside my career and business in view offline. This was what I was born for and I've been exhibiting as potentials offline since childhood; but I had to start online in my teens and early twenties. 

Part 9 - In the Past
You see, what I might not be permitted to start at such a young age offline (real world), God started it with me gradually as I was growing up in schools, churches and society offline before the major online thing. Because irrespective of my little experiences, I might be termed unfit by the real world. 

Over the years, I've made unimaginable and continual impact (influence) than money (affluence) could have gotten me but at the same time, at few times in the past, I've been limited to go far and move fast in making impact (influence) due to lack of resources (affluence) too then. But all the same, Rome wasn't built in a day; neither is success attained overnight without consistency, effective preparation and progress in process. 

Part 10 - What do you think?🤔
So, you think everything I'm doing and I've been up to over the years online (in the internet) will amount to nothing when I gain influence and affluence offline (in the real world)? Obviously an impossible no. 

In fact, both will sit on the foundation of all I've been up to online as a proof for not rising overnight. 

Part 11 - Wisdom - Don't Wait to Start🤔
Now, assume I haven't started at all, waiting to start offline and gain both influence and affluence; imagine the time, process and the struggle to start small which should have happened years before? 

This is what some of our fathers who made it offline (real world) without online (internet) wished happened in their time; they'd have saved years and increase more on impact including influence and affluence. What they now do instead is employ the online people to cover up their lapses - wisdom. 

Part 12 - Diligence - Which Work?🤔
So, the scriptures saying in Ecc 9:10 that "Whatsoever your hands finds to do, do it with your might...", didn't specify the work - if it's big or small, fetching money now or not because it'll grow gradual influence and affluence if you "do it with all your might".

Diligence is "do it well". When you keep on with that little or big thing (work) and you have a reason for doing it, even if you aren't happy with the way it is now; you still have the chance of life and hope to make it big (affluence) and be great in life (influence). 

Part 12 - Diligence - Which WORK? (II)🤔
Whatever is your work - effort; be it business, career, ministry, hubby, potential, purpose, job, task etc; anything that benefits you and others, keep at it while you are still alive, why? 

Because if you are diligent, skillful, excellent, good, competent with it, you will always be admired, demanded and won't take back seat to anyone - mere or ordinary men; only to stand and take front seat to serve and/or sit with kings (Pro 22:29). 

Part 12 - Diligence - Which WORK? (III)🤔
Whatever it is God gives you the strength and grace to do, do it and keep doing it well. Because therein lies your breakthrough and the power to succeed in life. Whatever it is, both physically and/or spiritually. It is only laziness God does not reward. 

Whatever you sow, you reap but is God that sends rain I.e the grace that fertilizes and increases the seed you sow not your effort or anything (business). 

Part 13 - Balanced Equation💯
So, value through skills and work (diligence) coupled with thanksgiving (in and) with prayers and giving (tithe or seed or generousity majorly) to God (and/or to men) will surely grant you both influence and affluence either on internet (online) or in the real world (offline). Remain blessed, Shalom. 
THE END.

If you've been blessed by this short series, kindly write to me, thanks and much love 😍.

LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE (a promised reference to Timilehin David's similar letter years ago)

If you are reading this, it is to show how highly God has proposed and buoyantly vouched for you as the apple of his eyes. To a royal diadem, a rare gem, the good thing I'll find whose worth is beyond rubies, the brightest star in the sky I'm staring at and looking forward to embrace her shining light, my other half, the fairest among women (just like my fairy mum) whose heart is golden and cannot be bought by the worth of earthly treasures, one whose stance would cause the fall of a thousand men, and her walking steps draw the gaze of mighty men. To my future wife, whose eyes I would love to fix my gaze, whose cheeks I would love to caress, whose succulent lips I would love to taste like the honeycomb and beautiful body I would love to glue onto like the magnet on the day of matrimony. Your smile is a beaming hope, your laughter a contagious joy and your teeth like the bright spring in the sunny day. I hope reading this won't make you think I am carnal because ...

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE YOU DON'T KNOW

You might want to wonder, does LOVE have any other side (just like a coin though single but having two SIDES)? Do I not know about the entirety of love or does it still transcend beyond the description and exposition given to it by Apostle Paul in 1Cor 13?  Do you know that, just the way you can't decipher all that God is even though He fully demonstrated His nature of love by becoming a Father and sacrificing Himself (the Soul - Jesus the Christ as His only Son) for humanity; you can't also comprehend all that Love is because God is Love? Now, let me bring clarity to avoid confusion. What do I mean by the OTHER SIDE OF LOVE? Like everybody else will think, the answer to that question would be the painful side of love or the sacrifices of love or the challenges that may befall one because of love etc. But that's not where my target is, instead it is the most neglected nature of Love - BALANCE. When you hold a coin or are given a coin what attracts you the most i...

EXAMINATION TIPS FOR BELIEVERS

  The secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well - John D. Rockefeller.  As believers, the kind of success that God wished that we manifest in is different from that of unbelievers. It is success that supercedes man's (self) ability; one that is traceable to the enabling power of God; one which can be drawn, associates and is enabled (in and) by the Spirit, so that we cannot boast of our power, knowledge, skills and every of our ability but by the strength, quickening and enabling power of God. This is applicable to all spheres: Business, Work, Education etc including Ministry. But due to the course of this writing, I'll be centering on exams especially students that are believers. If you aren't one of them, make a quick deliberate decision and be convinced of your salvation, else, you are missing out amongst Christ's family (and the benefits of being a Son, a few of what I'll be sharing here).  According to Josh 1:8 - KJV:This book of the law sh...

TRANCES OF YOUR PROPOSED STATURE

  Num 24:4 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open,  16 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open The word Trance is derived from the Greek word ( ekstasis ) meaning a displacement of the mind that is bewilderment, ecstasy; be amazed. The condition expressed by this word is a mental state in which the person affected is partially or wholly unconscious of objective sensations, but intensely alive to subjective impressions which, however they may be originated, are felt as if they were revelations from without. They may take the form of visual or auditory sensations or else of impressions of taste, smell, heat or cold etc. The English Dictionary defines it as a dazed or unconscious condition; (consciousness) a state of concentration, awareness and is foc...

DON'T GET DISCONNECTED, STAY ON COURSE

It is of no fallacy that there is no boundary, blockage or distance barrier of any sort to the access or manifestation of the Spirit. And indeed, there is no medium whatsoever that the Holy Spirit cannot use to demonstrate enormous power, no matter how unimaginable or unreasonable it may be ( Mantle - 2Ki 2:14, Hem of garment - Matt 14:36, Handkerchief and Apron - Acts 19:12, Shadow - Acts 5:15).  You might have heard of testimonies of men about the move of God's power, either through Social Media (despite the different locations - countries and continents across the globe), Audio or Video Messages and many more. Also, it is not bad or devilish for believers to have spiritual books, messages, write ups etc on their phones, laptops or any technological gadgets.  Doing these does not serve majorly any other purpose than to use them to build up ourselves spiritually and get imparted by the anointing of the Men of God. Which has helped us to access the unreachable mate...
