THANK YOU LORD

I just woke up thinking of something that happened yesterday and I feel I owe God thanks. Yesterday morning at Rave TV Head Quarters and transmitting house at Ilupeju Lagos, I walked in like every normal person visiting an office for the first time only to be welcomed to a standing ovation and snapshots by administrative staffs of the station. I went to the receptionist and asked to see Mrs. Foluke the person incharge of programmes and she said hey, you look familiar just that moment two staffs came down the staircase and one of them said yeah, I know you. You're a comedian right? And the other guy said no. You're Steve the presenter of " MATHS MADE EASY with Uncle Steve" and they all went - yeah, that's true and a few others joined and just then I realised that I have been an O.A.P. (On Air Personality) for over 7 months now. As if that was not enough I was at Stambic IBTC Bank Alen Avenue to do some transactions and this two women walked up to me and one of them said, "Hey I know you, you're uncle Steve of maths made easy on Rave TV channel 125 on Startimes right? " I was like yes ma'm and the other one went our kids don't miss your programme every Thursday 4-4:30 pm. We like the way you simplify mathematics for our kids. God will bless you. I feel really unworthy of all the emium I got yesterday because I have not given thanks to the one who had it be. The Author and finisher of my Faith. Probably because I was aiming to start big at hosting remarkable events like, who wants to be a millionaire ; Idols Nigeria and a whole lot of those reality shows. Forgetting that what I do today is a life dream of many which might never come through for them. Today I stand to say thank you Lord for bringing me this far and for the higher heights you're taking me to. Thanks to my Able Director, Andy Nwakalor for believing in me and my colleague, Rejoice Joseph for the moral support and to all staffs and trainees of Auxi-serv media Ltd Jos, Leo our animator, Ubuka Chukwuka and Morris my camera assistants, ThankGod, Nelson and Sunny G editing trainees, I say thank you all for being the best production crew ever. "Only we na stars" We're going International and there's no stopping we. Love you plenty.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy mothers day to all our esteemed readers. Wishing you all a joyous celebrations.

SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

"I don't think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He's given you..." - Joel Osteen

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, then you are richer than 75% of this world. If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, friend you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death you are more blessed than three billion people in the world. If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare, even in the world. If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not. If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch. If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

It was Mary J. Blige who said, "You can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial ... and thank God for the strength to get through it. Really, having gone through so much turmoil and pain as most of us have, the biggest temptation is to find nothing to be grateful for. It's abnormal to live on earth and not be overwhelmed by challenges.

Beloved, I'm aware that you desire to all the great, expensive and classy things in life. Do you take out time to ponder on the free, important and great gifts you've been blessed with? I'm sure you can remember classmates whom till this day can't read or write but you can. Or, friends who've been imprisoned for years now without bail, but you walk freely unhindered. What about those who lie in the hospital beds, their greatest prayer isn't food or luxury but good health, yet you have the ability to eat and are blessed with good health. It might not be much, but it sure is amazing what you have: but for God, do you know you won't survive any trial? Be thankful today.

RESPECT!

"Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners." - Laurence Sterne

I will always remember this one girl that was in my class in College. (Grace Odonye) She was very quiet, didn't back-talk anyone, always greeted the staff at our school, never interrupted the teachers like other children in the school. My friends thought she was just weird, but I watched her for a while and she was always so polite. I finally had the guts to ask her why she wasn't like the rest of us,"If you ever want to be respected in life, you'll have to respect others and by others I mean not just your friends. Everyone." it paid off for her as she later became our Head Girl.

Respect is appreciating people’s differences, not making them feel uncomfortable. Respect is an important way of being kind and good to other people, it means not making fun of them. Respect puts into consideration how people feel, and treating them the way you’d want to be treated yourself! It’s important to give respect to everyone. Do you think it would feel good if someone made fun of you in public for your differing ideas? No way! Everyone deserves your respect. It is reciprocal! We have a responsibility to be the best we can be in all situations, even when dealing with unpleasant people. The Golden Rule - do unto others as you would have them do unto you - nicely illustrates the Pillar of Respect. It reflects notions such as civility, courtesy, decency, dignity, tolerance and acceptance!
 God created all people, and created them differently for reasons and purposes we may not understand. Regardless of how we perceive them to be, they are God's creations, and it is God's will for us to show respect to everyone. A general attitude of respect also accepts the dignity of others, even when their ideas or values are different from ours.
Always remember to treat others as you would want them to treat you.

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

"You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of." - Jim Rohn

If you want more control over your life all you have to do is be responsible - be accountable for others. Stop transferring blame. Do what you are supposed to do, and be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes. The line between childhood and adulthood is crossed when we move from saying, "It got lost" to "I lost it." Indeed, being accountable - and understanding and accepting the role our choices play in the things that happen - are crucial signs of all forms of maturity. That's why responsibility is one of the main pillars of good character. It's obvious that, responsibility requires us to do things - some of which might be unpleasant. It asks us to carry our own weight, and sometimes the weight of others. It's interesting to note that, the benefits of accepting responsibility far outweighs the refusal to do so. No one can make their lives better by avoiding responsibility. Responsible people show others, by their actions, that they can be depended on and this breeds trust: trust is a key that sure unlocks many doors.
Being responsible or learning to take responsibility is a requirement for advancement in any direction or dimension: physically, or spiritually, even financially. If you've been a child all your life, it's time to grow up and take responsibility. Remember, Responsibility is your " RESPONSE  to your ABILITY "

EMBRACE CHANGE!

Take a chance at change



        Life seems so easy and with less hassle when viewed from your comfort zone. The temptation to just remain there and not make any changes is so inviting that many people settle with that. Now I want to say that there is nothing wrong with mediocrity or being comfortable where you are, I believe it's absolutely fine as long as you do not wish to move any further in life. But if you want to take any step forward in life from the position you are in then you will have to make some changes to your general life. Sometimes the changes required are so massive that when viewed through our minds eye, we almost give up on it. I want to tell you today that it is okay to take a chance at change.




If you plan on moving forward from the way things are for you right now, be it your status in the society, your goals or any other thing then you will have to start considering taking the risk of making a change. Yes it is risky because everything seems to be settled and already in order from your comfort zone and you don't know if you will loose everything if you leave your comfort zone to chase your dreams. But then again, you will never grow if you remain where you are. You will have to take that risk at a chance. Nothing great was ever achieved without some effort and change. So if you plan on moving forward then you have to get up and out of your comfort zone. If you want to be more comfortable in the future then you have to get uncomfortable for a while.

Believe me it is better that you try and fail than to sit and wonder what would have been. Regret from chances that you didn't take is one of the worst feelings. This life is yours, the world is yours to explore. Explore your possibilities and chances. Make a change and take a chance today. Get up from your comfort zone and go achieve greatness.You have to chase achievements, they won't come to you. So think of what you really want and go get it.

Good morning Fam!
