The Parable of the Horse and the Devil
A man tied his horse to a post. Later, the D*vil came along and quietly set the horse free.
The horse wandered into a farmer's field and began trampling the crops.
Furious, the farmer grabbed his rifle and shot the horse.#Freemaxinnamdikanu
Do you ever go down to the docks to look at ships? They seem so big and solid, hardy moving as the water laps around them. It's hard to imagine them being tossed like corks by huge waves at the Sea.

Sometimes, I thank God my account was hacked.
Why? Because the community I had then wasn’t really mine. Most of them followed me because of my father or what they thought I represented, not for me.
When I started from scratch, it was different. I wasn’t just rebuilding an account; I was building something real, an authentic community of people who connected with me for who I truly am, not some illusion.
Starting from zero was humbling, but it was worth it. It taught me that there’s power in the beginning.
So, if you’re scared of starting over, hear me:
Don’t be. Begin again. Build authentically. Create something real.
If you are looking for a sign, here it is.

The days are evil and the times are perilous.
These are my prayers for you;
May you not be a victim of evil circumstances.
May the Lord preserve you and your family.
May evil never come near your tabernacle.
May the Lord perfect all that concerns you.
Good morning, Family.
Get Used To Big Numbers!
When I was 15 years old, I used to think that 1 Million Naira is a very big money
I used to think that once someone gets one million Naria
The person is made for life
I used to believe that one million naira will be so plenty to fill up a room and the person will be swimming in money
But then at 19, my uncle gave me one Million Naira to deposit for him in the bank for the first time
Omor on seeing the money, I was like ahh... So this small money na she be 1 million Naira?
I over rated it sef 😄
As I continued to stay with my Uncle, he gave me more millions to deposit for him.
So when I go to the bank we have a special unit called bulk room for those who their money is from 1 million Naira up
I will be there with 10 million Naira to deposit and someone will come with 100 million Naira in cartons
They will remove it and begin to count to confirm it.
Another person 50 million Naira
Another person 5 million Naira
Na there I come see say money no hard like that oo
Just get something doing and you'd earn any amount over time
So the first time I made 1 million Naira for myself and told someone
He shouted it is not possible, how can you make such amount of money
Are you selling drugs?
In my mind I was like I understand
This person is not used to big numbers and figures
So dear reader
Get used to big numbers and figures
20 million Naira is not a big money
100 million Naira is not a big money
Your mind should accept it like that and you will see yourself telling you that it's something you can have
But when you think those figures are too big for you and your mind then forget it
You will never have it
I said
Get used to big numbers and figures
1 Billion Naira is not that much and that's what my mind is saying to me meaning I can have it if I work consistently for what will give it to me
Work on your mind from here
I hope this is helpful?
Everything I’m doing now is for my future self.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy watching movies or just having fun; of course, I do!
But I’ve come to realize that the things we do now are seeds we sow for our future. Imagine choosing to take a course over watching a movie. That choice, though small, plants seeds that will grow into something my future self will be proud of.
My future husband (if he hasn’t seen me yet 👀) and my kids, they’ll look back and be proud of the things I’ve built. My daughters and sons will grow up and see everything her mom has done online and be inspired (they better be, lol).
So, when you feel like giving up, don’t give up because of the struggle. Think about what your future self will say when you finally meet them. Will they be proud? Or will they wish you had kept going?
Your future is watching. Keep sowing.
Good evening, Family.
My new neighbors came to my house very early in the morning the next day.
It was on a Saturday morning. I and my my wife were still cleaning up our house when they came.
They left a knock on our door. And I quickly went to check who it was. When I opened the door. It was our new neighbor.
Hey neighbor. Bisi and Shola said uniformly immediately I opened the door.
Hey. I said surprised. Wait are you surprised to see us? Shola asked me. No, but I didn't know you guys will come this early. I said.
We said we were having breakfast with you guys. We informed you yesterday. Shola said.
But this is just 7:00am. I said. When do you guys have your breakfast? Shola asked me.
I don't know, 10am. I said. We are sorry we didn't want to be late for our first breakfast with our new neighbor. Bisi said.
Just then my wife Olivia came out of the kitchen with a mob.
You guys again. Olivia said and sighed. We again. Bisi replied.
You guys are cleaning. Shola said. Babe please do them the honors of helping my dear friend's wife to clean. Shola told Bisi. Of course babe. Bisi replied Shola and kissed him before going to help Olivia.
How is life in this neighborhood like? Shola asked me as I was alone with him. Life has been how life is supposed to be. I answered. How's life supposed to be? Shola asked me.
Normal, peaceful, private of course until you came. I said. Normal is not fun. Shola told me.
Like I have an idea. Why not let the women start cooking why we the men clean up. Shola suggested.
I was just staring at shola. I didn't even know what to say or do at that moment.
Babe; Shola called the wife.
Bisi immediately came out to the parlor. She was really excited. Babe why don't you and your friend go into the kitchen to make breakfast why Myself and my guy here will finish up cleaning the house. Shola said to the wife.
Of course. I was even telling her that you don't joke with your food, that we should hurry up and go cook.
Bisi hurried back and went and took Olivia to the kitchen so that they can make breakfast.
Let's finish cleaning before this women are done cooking. Shola said.
I just stared at Shola. What kind of person is this? I said to myself. Do you know about the word privacy? I don't even know you bro. You are literally forcing yourself into our life. I finally said to Shola who was already mobbing the floor.
You want us to go? Shola asked me with all humility. Yes bro go. My wife and I need some privacy!! I said.
Okay. No problem we will go. Shola said.
Babe!!! Shola called his wife. His wife came out of the kitchen with a spoon she use for cooking.
This young man wants us to leave his house. Shola said. Really? Bisi asked. Yes. What did you do babe? She asked again.
I did nothing wrong. He said he needed some privacy. Shola said.
Then give him some privacy naughty boy. Bisi said smiling.
Stay at the other end and clean, why he stays here and clean. We need the house sparkling clean. Breakfast will soon be ready. Bisi said before leaving to the kitchen.
I guess we are stuck up together bro. Shola said and smiled at me.
Few seconds later we heard the two ladies arguing in the kitchen.
When we went to the kitchen. What they were arguing about got me gasp.
Bisi didn't want onoins in the food they were making because Shola didn't like onions. And my wife Olivia at the other hand wanted onions because I like onions in my food.
The argument continued; "its fun seeing them argue, they will make best of friends". Shola said smiling at me.
I was speechless at that moment.
To Be Continued.
Title: The Crazy New Neighbor 2
Always remember:
Nothing WORKS until you WORK.
The year is not over yet.
You don’t have to wait until January 1st.
Get started with work — do it now.
I’m not just motivating you.
I’m taking a break from WORKING to remind you of this.
We’re in this together. Get to work.
It’s not rosy — I know — but it’ll be worth it with time.
Start with one task today, no matter how small.
Progress builds momentum.
I’m rooting for you.
Whatever vision or instruction has been entrusted to you, act on it immediately.
Delaying can be costly because the task might be assigned to someone else who is faster, more willing, or ready to act. What you hesitate to pursue could become someone else's accomplishment.
Ask yourself: Have you been instructed to write a book, host a class, or start a project? If yes, do not wait! Act on that instruction now. Procrastination breeds regret, especially when you see someone else fulfilling what you were meant to do.
Remember, no one is indispensable. God has replacements ready to carry out His plans if we fail to take action. Obedience and promptness are key to staying in alignment with your purpose. Don’t let fear, doubt, or delay rob you of what is meant to be yours.
Your vision was given to you for a reason, start now!

Adding to what the man of God said, 2025 will be terrible, people will be thanking God for 2024 and let me add this again, if you buy yam, please carry it well because some people will be carrying knives to cut it from your head or hands.
