Money making Monday. It's a new day to try again. Do not relent. Today may be your best day. So give it your best shot. Let's go

Fire In Your Bosom

MEMORISE: “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (KJV)

READ: Proverbs 4:14-15 (KJV)

The Bible says that a man cannot take fire in his bosom and not be burnt (Proverbs 6:27). Fire in this context is sin. If a believer is allowing sin or an appearance of sin around him or her, he or she is taking fire in his or her bosom and will eventually be burned.

I learned from Joseph’s story that when the devil is determined to bring a man down, he will position temptation around him such that he will keep seeing it continually. He knows that if the temptation is right in front of the fellow every day, it is only a matter of time before he falls. This is why I have always told my children that they must not have a secretary or personal assistant who is of the opposite sex. It is better not to bring the temptation anywhere near you than to believe that you can resist it.

A common adage in Yoruba land says, if you will not eat it, don’t smell it. If a man has been asking you for a relationship that you know will lead to sin, why are you still answering his calls? If you are always tempted to steal, why will you agree to help your group or department keep the money they have contributed? You must stay far from whatever you know can lead you to sin because the devil is described as a serpent. A serpent is very subtle and cunning. As dangerous as it is, it can crawl right beside you without you realising it. You may have sworn that you will never do something, but if you allow that thing around you, the devil will cunningly get you to do it.

The elders say that it is through an opening in a wall that the lizard gains entrance into the house. When you give room to temptation around you, you have opened up the wall of your soul, and it is only a matter of time before sin creeps in. Unfriend that friend who always suggests sinful things, relocate from that area where you are more susceptible to committing sin, delete whatever is on your phone that can lead you to sin, and just do whatever it takes to get sin far away from you. It is better to lose these things and make it to heaven than to retain them and go to hell.

Think about the things or people that present temptations to you regularly and ensure that you stay away from them.

Discipline Shapes Your Future

MEMORISE: “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” – Hebrews 12:11 (KJV)

READ: Genesis 25:29-34 (KJV)

While I was in secondary school, my teacher told us that every human being came into the world with a pillow of suffering which they must use before they leave the earth. You can choose to use your pillow of suffering when you are young so that you can enjoy your life when you are old, or you can keep it intact and enjoy yourself when you are young. However, you must understand that you will surely use the pillow when you are old.

If you decide to use your pillow of suffering when you are young, you will put yourself through strict discipline. You will study while others are playing, attend vigils while others are partying, build a good character while others are engaging in vices, and save while others spend all their income. The memory verse for today says that periods of discipline may not seem pleasant, but they bring peace of mind in the future. Those who do not put themselves through discipline early in their lives will surely have their pillows of suffering waiting for them in the future. The choice is yours, go through the suffering of discipline now, or face the consequences of indiscipline later.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. – Ecclesiastes 7:8

Your end is more important than your beginning. It doesn’t matter if you are from a poor background; what matters is that you don’t die poor. It doesn’t matter if you were heading to hell; what matters is that you end up in heaven. Don’t trade your tomorrow for the short-term pleasures of today. Esau was hungry, and he traded his right as the firstborn for a plate of porridge; he traded generational blessings for a single plate of porridge! Today, we would have been talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Esau, but Esau gave his position to Jacob because he wanted to eat porridge. You might say that Esau was foolish, but many people are doing the same thing today. There are people who were destined to be great prophets but never fulfilled their destiny because of five minutes of sexual immorality. Some potential owners of multinational businesses trade working on their business ideas for a little more sleep every night.

Beloved, the cost of discipline today is nothing compared to its gains in the future.

Reflection: Am I going through the discipline that is necessary for a better future now?

One of Digital Witch students wrote this and I was like, omo, Ekwutosi have come a long way. God is realy faithful 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

This evening, July 1st, I want to celebrate a good friend.
2018, one time like that, I was craving for Okpa. This craving was so much that I went all the way to Jibowu Yaba in Lagos in search for early morning Okpa. I found one tho but stopped buying when my mother told me that most of them use semovita in mixing the Okpa. That was the end oh.

Months later Ekwutosinam Ada Nsukka advertised her Enugu Okpa. I patronized her and went to prepare it myself. Unfortunately, my Okpa and Nigerian stone were admins of same WhatsAp group. Abeg I gave up.
Ekwy tried teaching me via WhatsApp and encouraging me to try again until I get it. I respected her and tried again but guys, Okpa making is not just my calling.

Anyway, that Okpa transaction eventually made us friends.

Ekwy would share so many things with me from personal to career to life to anything! We were just two confused ladies rooting for each other. At some point we would even laugh at our struggles.

Well, one day, she told me about getting certifications and going into tech full time. I would even tease her that she works in the cloud. I over supported her by encouraging her to go ahead. This babe studied online and kept bagging different certifications. She would come to Facebook and make noise about her studies and encouraging us to learn but yea so many people didn’t believe in her.

She continued to bag more certifications and got several remote jobs and started earning in dollars. All of a sudden Ekwy became a Bureau D change cos she is always packing dollars. One day she decided to teach those who were interested and today she has built a community of tech gurus. Over 7,000 students in her community called Digital Witch Support Team and so many of them are busy cashing out in dollars from their home.

Ekwy came to show me her father’s house which she built single handedly in the East.

Ekwy would share her wins with me.

One day she came to share the one that made me cry. I cried because she shared her struggles with me so I know why I cried. What did she share? Her house! Ekwy bought her own house in this Lagos and everything gotten from tech!

She asked me to keep it to myself and I am a professional in that side. I kept quiet until she broke the news herself.

Ekwy returned again and showed me her car. I kuku asked her to come and kill me and use for ritual since she wants to use good news and strangulate me.

Why am I sharing this?

Her journey is what I am aware of! She started life from the barest minimum. She started confused. Infact this Digital wit|ch was born as a joke and today, after 4yrs of knowing this amazing lady, she has indeed made us proud.

You might be confused. You might be feeling stagnant. You might also feel like you’re under achieving. You might even feel you’re use less. My dearest friend, I have come to tell you that someone also started confused. Someone started without looking back. Someone was in that situation you’re in now but she chose to rise above it and define her destiny by herself.

And today, I want to encourage you to also give tech a try. Give yourself one year or even two years and watch your progress.

Tech is the new oil well in Nigeria. So many remote jobs out there. So many foreign coys in dire need of staff but they can’t find and you’re there praying for a job.

I have attached her achievements to this post so that you can see for yourself that Tech will give you what your sugar daddy and sugar mummy can never give you.
If you want to learn from her and get a job please chat her up or join her community cos she’s having her class this July.

I also attached our first chat so you’d not say I am lying.

I call her Ekwy Dimple cos she’s got very nice dimples.

Edit; Those interested, kindly chat her on WhatsApp 09030707593
