Lockdown Day 3: Lessons To Be Learnt

Good day to you folks,

I hope we all are staying safe during this Covid-19 pandemic. Some countries are in lockdown mode. I just hope it ain't biting hard for you. I started a special writing for this lockdown period, hopefully it shouldn't be more than 14 days.

We know what the greatest lockdown is and how we can be free from it.

Today, I'm writing on lessons we can learn from this lockdown. Yes, there are numerous lessons, but I will be picking just few of them.

Lesson 1: Planning

There is this popular adage which says 'He who fails to plan has plan to fail'. This lockdown period has expose so many people, family companies, governtments who have fail to plan or who plan shabbily or woefully. Nobody knows tomorrow which is why we should even plan the more.

We shouldn't leave our lives, business etc to chances or luck. It will be irresponsible of us not to think about the future today. Contingencies plans has to be made.

True, we can't plan for everything in the future but we can do our best to plan well enough. This period should teach people the essence of planning for the rainy day.

Our planning should be for the short and long term. If there is any lesson one should learn first from this pandemic, it is to learn to plan.

If you need help on how to plan, please seek help on it. A well planned life won't always be taken by surprise.

Oil producing African governments are in a shocked for not planning outside their oil resources. Oil prices are very low, most don't know how to fund their budget. This won't have have happen if they had plan well during the bountiful season (excess crude oil revenue).

Tomorrow, I continue on lessons to be learnt during this lockdown period.

Stay safe!

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Song: These Walls

You are good and do good;.... - Psalm 119:68 Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor. He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good! Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling You are stronger than these army I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
