On a day like this very many years ago, it is common to see people go out to scare some peeps or raise a false alarm. When this is done and everyone is everywhere. What you will hear is “April Fool”. Funny enough, it doesn’t seem to happen so much these days as it was then. Somehow everyone has come to the knowledge that one way or the other, we are telling lies that way and we could say something that could later turn out to be true.

On this day I want to welcome you to April and to share with you some “April Facts”. Some of us are living consciously as this week is known to be the “Holy Week”. So many activities outlined for the Easter Season. I for one would be attending what we call a ‘Retreat’. Some of you would travel to visit family and friends or even host them. Some of you might decide to catch up on old times with friends. Whatever you would be doing on this day and in this week and month or wherever you may be, let us not forget that God desires we live and enjoy a beautiful life.

ACQUAINT yourself with your maker. When you wrong a man like you, it’s almost if not so difficult for him to forgive and forget what you have done, let alone be available to be of help or assistance to you. It’s not the same with your maker, he knows you would wrong him at some point and the more reason while he never shuts the door of forgiveness and never allowed the ocean of forgetfulness to dry up. When you are at peace with God, Life would be beautiful, sweet, enjoyable and worth living.  Quit quarreling with God! Agree with him and you will have peace at last! His favor will surround you if you will only admit that you were wrong. Listen to his instructions and store them in your heart. If you return to God and put right all the wrong in your home, then you will be restored. Job 22:21-23 (TLB)

PONTIFICATE about nothing. One prayer point that is always on the lips of my husband and I is, “Lord, as you keep blessing us on every side, help us to always remain humble.” It is almost so difficult to be blessed and not be pompous about it. When I read about how the proud will be humbled if they continue being proud, I tremble. Don’t let the Lord humble you, you would wish you were not alive if he does. Therefore, be humble, no matter the height you’ve attained or the blessings you’ve received. A proud person will soon be ruined, but a humble person will be honored. Proverbs 18:12 (ERV) The payoff for meekness and Fear-of-God is Plenty and Honor and a Satisfying life. Proverbs 22:4 (MSG)

RELINQUISH your bumptious and ostentatious attitude. I remember the story of the Man who was praying in scriptures and was telling God how good he was unlike the other Man. Oh how irritated I would have been if I was there. In this month, what are those irritating and pretentious attitude that we exhibit? It’s high time we changed. Become a better version of yourself. Don’t portray yourself as who you are not. Don’t pretend to be a friend just to know if you are better or ahead of that person. Don’t help someone and sound a trumpet for all of us to see how good you are. The end result of a pretentious attitude is that you lose your reputation, your dignity or your relationships. Above all, you would lose out on God’s blessings and his eternal kingdom as well.

INTERACT with people who will make you better. We find all kinds of people where we work, live, shop, and fellowship. The only way to discover those who will bring out the best in us is when we interact. Let’s associate ourselves with positive people, those who are in to put their best and give their best for success. Sometimes, the people we hang around or interact with put a dent on our image one way or the other. Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces. Proverbs 13:20 (MSG)

LIVE, LOVE AND LEARN everyday as though it’s you last. When driven by our natural tendencies, we find ourselves loving only those who love us and learning from only the famous and influential. I remember my dad saying in one of our family altar that, we learn everyday and we should be open to learn from everyone irrespective of their age, status and stature. Parents learn from children as much as children from parents. Employers from employees and so on as the case may be. You learn the good, see the bad experiences and learn from them. What about Love? Hmmmm, I am no saint to this at all, because, I still told God today to give me the grace to love those who hurt me deeply. There is a difference between forgiving someone for wrong done and loving such a one inspite of the wrong done. You have heard people say, “Love your neighbors and hate your enemies.” But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you. Then you will be acting like your Father in heaven. He makes the sun rise on both good and bad people. And he sends rain for the ones who do right and for the ones who do wrong. If you love only those people who love you, will God reward you for that? Even tax collectors love their friends. If you greet only your friends, what’s so great about that? Don’t even unbelievers do that? Matthew 5:43-47 (CEV)

God bless you.

Do you know that everything that happens in our lives has been spoken about before now. I found out that ever since I obeyed the inner voice within and started FibeePens – BLArticles, I get wowed and wowed as I get to see that some of the things that happen in my life were written in Scriptures.

I remember some years back, I challenged a “so-called” friend about mocking people. Need I mention that this same person looks down on people as well. I believe that one should be able to tell a friend when he/she does something wrong. With this belief, It so happened that I was mocked by this person; this provided me a valid opportunity to mention it. Off course I mentioned it without mixing words. This singular honest and sincere action of mine earned me two months of indirect cold war (malice). Not comfortable, I had to ask If I had done something wrong. What I heard surprised me. Today as I read through scriptures, I found an answer to the story I just narrated.

While growing up as a teenager, my sisters and I misplaced our uncle’s Don Williams CD. I can’t even remember how it got missing. We knew that when my Uncle returned from his trip, he would definitely want to play that CD. We thought that we would be grounded if we confessed that the CD went missing. So out of the little savings we had, we quickly rushed to a bookshop to purchase another one and replace it so he won’t find out. As young ones, we thought we were smart and had gotten away with it. But alas the day of reckoning came when my Uncle finally arrived and on seeing the CD knew it wasn’t his own. He wasn’t happy about it and reported to my dad. When my dad sent for us, we thought again that he wanted to give us something, forgetting that we did something earlier.

Immediately we entered dad’s room and saw the CD, we knew we were in trouble. What we thought we had gotten away with came staring at us right in the face. “What happened to your uncle’s CD that you went to buy another one?” He asked. “Emm Emm, it got missing. We thought he would ground us so we decided to buy another one and replace it.” We responded. “So do you think replacing it was the right thing to do? That was very insulting. Go and apologize to him now and you are all grounded.” My dad said. When we went to apologise, he simply said we should have just told him and that he forgive us so we should take the CD away. See what our thinking caused us. It costed us money, and the grounding we were running away from.

So many times, what we think is far from what really is. Our thoughts most of the times push us so hard that we end up in harms way and also making wrong decisions. When the question is then asked, our reply becomes, “I thought”.

Sometimes we make rash and costly decisions because “we thought”. Sometimes we don’t taste our words before they come out simply because “we thought”. The thing is that the outbreak of the “I thought syndrome” usually cost us either our reputation, our trust, our relationships, our homes, our jobs and even our lives.

What were you afraid of? Why did you do this to me?” Then Abraham said, “I thought no one in this place respected God. I thought someone would kill me to get Sarah. Genesis 20:10-11(ERV)

Taking a cue from Father Abraham’s case, because he thought they would kill him for his wife’s sake, he almost destroyed a whole nation. And cost himself his dear wife. How many of us have thought we would get into trouble and in a bid to avoid it, we end up doing something worse than what would have been.

Children thinking their parents would beat them for breaking that glass or going out with that friend end up lying about it. When the truth finally comes out, our thinking would have cost us something.

In another case, it could be a spouse thinking that his/her significant other is unfaithful because of a text you saw or the conversation of a call you overhead. You in the end lose the trust of their significant other and in a worse case scenario lose your home.

Oh how much we can lose by thinking and how much we can save by owning up to what really is. Many a times our thoughts are misleading and the tendency to always anticipate a pessimistic outcome of a particular situation cannot be ruled out. Let me remind you that our thoughts controls our lives. If your thoughts are always headed towards negativity and hence the reason to avoid the outcome, you might end up falling victims to your thoughts. Let your thoughts be positive, give people around you a probable benefit of doubts. Your thoughts about that person might be all wrong in the end.

Wherever you find yourself, please guard your thoughts. When they are headed to negativity, reroute them to the positive lane.

Everyone has has the right to freedom of thought. Think truth, think positive!

God bless you.

In the part of the country where I reside, driving takes a lot of skills. You might be good at driving within your local vicinity but how really good you are can be judged when you are on the highway. We are known for a kind of driving which is called “bumper to bumper”. In this kind of driving, you have to be at alert and sharp. If you have to change a lane, simply keep glancing at your side mirrors for that fellow who is a little distracted and enter his front.

One day while me and my husband were driving, he wanted to change lane and as he put on his trafficator, it was as if he told the other drivers to move faster. They just started speeding up. Well we waited till a nice driver slowed down and allowed us to enter. Amidst this wait, I told my husband that you don’t trafficate before you change lane, you change lane and then trafficate. I’m sure some of you would be laughing and saying, what sort of driving rule is that?

My husband said something I held onto and this changed me for good. He said, “if everyone decides to drive that way, we would end up going no where because you that didn’t allow someone to be in front of you would need to be in front of someone and what if that person decided to be like you? When I allow someone in front of me, someone would allow me in front of him/her when I want to”. He went on to add that, “sometimes the person you allow in front of you might not allow you in front of him when you want to. Don’t bother, someone else will”. “Hmmmm, wow”. was all that I could say. The lesson I learnt from my husband’s words were, “Do to others what you want to be done to you and don’t expect too much from anyone”

Treat others as you want them to treat you. “Do you think you deserve credit for merely loving those who love you? Even the godless do that! And if you do good only to those who do you good—is that so wonderful? Even sinners do that much! And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, what good is that? Even the most wicked will lend to their own kind for full return! “Love your enemies! Do good to them! Lend to them! And don’t be concerned about the fact that they won’t repay. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as sons of God: for he is kind to the unthankful and to those who are very wicked. Luke 6:31-35 (TLB)

This is so explanatory, so straight to the point. So many of the times we miss the deep meaning of these words. It is so common for us to help only those who can help us in return. What about those who can’t help us in return? If we continue on this part, we limit ourselves of the great things that await us.

I remember the story of a man I was told about. He had finished school, was looking for a job here and there. On this fateful day as he was driving along, he saw a broken down vehicle, the owner was waving for help. He just needed someone to tow him some meters to where he would find a mechanic. No one seemed to stop, everyone sped along. This man decided to stop and help him. He was driving a saloon vehicle and he was to tow an SUV. He did it not expecting anything in return. When they got to the mechanic, the man who he had helped tow his car thanked him so much and asked for his name and collected his number.

He didn’t ask the man for his name or number in return. He just went on his way. Somehow along the line, he got a job that was able to provide his daily bread and fuel his car. He totally forgot that he ever helped someone sometime ago. One day his phone began to ring and it was a number he didn’t know. He decided to pick the call and the person on the other end introduced himself as the person he helped some years ago. He tried to recollect the scenario and baam, he remembered and greeted the man so nicely and warmly. The man asked him, where do you work? Are you ok where you are? That was how he got a job that gave him four times what he was getting from where he was initially.

Help people because they need your help, Love people because they need to be loved. Don’t expect anything in return. You will end up having your hopes dashed when you don’t get anything back. You would end up deciding not to help again and thereby losing whatever reward that was prepared for that help you would have offered.

I have been at this point too. I helped some people and looked forward to be appreciated. When I wasn’t, I felt very very bad that I told my husband. He apologized on their behalf but I expected more from them. When I woke up the next morning, I awoke with the verses I quoted above on my lips and that made me feel so much better. That day, I created a slogan which I live by – “Don’t expect too much and you would always be happy.”

To you who always abuse the help you get. Those helping you are allowed to be weary of you. So when you need to ask for help, make sure you really need that help and appreciate whatever help you receive. Don’t think it’s their duty to help you. Even if it is, appreciate them else get ready to be treated same way.

Those of you who your help have been abused. I don’t know how best to tell you to continue to help.

As you know, my articles are three times in a week. Till you read from me again, Treat others exactly how you want to be treated and help and love others without expecting anything in return.

God bless you.

As I sat at my desk to type what I have prepared for today, I had a sudden change of mind as I was inspired to continue from yesterday’s scope. After Marcus was retrenched, Hillary took to doing everything at work by himself. This made him sleep over most of the times at the office trying to meet every deadlines and respond to every mail. He didn’t assign tasks to any of his subordinates. He felt, no one could do it to his approval and hence decided to do everything all by himself. When his superiors discovered it, they called him to a meeting. They explained to him that if he continued on the part he was going, he would not last. He would be stressed, his health will fail him and his work performance will decline and they would be forced to retire him.

There are some of you who at your workplace don’t see the need for teamwork. You don’t see anyone as good as yourself. You portray yourself as a “know-it-all”. When you are asked to be a team leader, you see all your team members as dumb people who know nothing, hence you carry the whole work on your head. Why? Do you think you are better than them? Do you think they don’t have anything to bring to the table?

“A body is made up of many parts, and each of them has its own use” A Team can be likened to a human body. Let’s put our imagination to work. “You are preparing to go for an occasion and you want to really look good. Your legs take you to your closet, your hands pick out the clothes to be worn, your eyes screens the clothes for a while, your brain in your head says its okay”. Different parts of your body played their different role in making the whole YOU look stunning. Lastly, after all is been done, you go to the mirror and see an amazing finished product – YOU.

You will be so happy and ask yourself, so I look this beautiful? You better start to thank those parts of your body for doing their work faithfully. Just imagine if your mouth decided to do all the work, your mouth take you to your closet, your mouth do the work of the hands and nose and brain. How will that turn out? So also in your place of work, at home, in your ministry, assign tasks to other people to do. Don’t put unnecessary stress on yourself. Come to think of it, If you are the boss, you own that company and you suddenly are no more and those under you don’t’ know how to do it simply because you did everything yourself and didn’t see the need to teach or assign others to it. The company might end up going along with you to the great beyond. It will cease to exist.

On the other hand, if you are just a head of a particular department, when you are no more, someone else would take your place in less than a second. I am not saying you shouldn’t work at all, I am saying that you shouldn’t do all the work. Let others do some of them as well. After all, the last time I checked, God gave us two hands, not three, not four. The third and fourth hands are those of others. To achieve maximum success and great performance at what you do, don’t neglect your team members. Like people say and I like to paraphrase mine – “If you keep fishing and fishing and fishing, when you can’t fish any more, how do you eat fish? Teach others to fish so that when you can’t fish any more, they will fish and you can always get fish from them to eat”.

Let me tell you of another man who wanted to do everything by himself. The next day, Moses had the special job of judging the people. There were so many people that they had to stand before him all day. Jethro saw Moses judging the people. He asked, “Why are you doing this? Why are you the only judge? And why do people come to you all day?” Then Moses said to his father-in-law, “The people come to me and ask me to ask for God’s decision for their problem. If people have an argument, they come to me, and I decide which person is right. In this way I teach the people God’s laws and teachings.” But Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “This isn’t the right way to do this. It is too much work for you to do alone. You cannot do this job by yourself. It wears you out. And it makes the people tired too. Now, listen to me. Let me give you some advice. And I pray God will be with you. You should continue listening to the problems of the people. And you should continue to speak to God about these things. You should explain God’s laws and teachings to the people. Warn them not to break the laws. Tell them the right way to live and what they should do. But you should also choose some of the people to be judges and leaders. “Choose good men you can trust—men who respect God. Choose men who will not change their decisions for money. Make these men rulers over the people. There should be rulers over 1000 people, 100 people, 50 people, and even over ten people. Let these rulers judge the people. If there is a very important case, then they can come to you and let you decide what to do. But they can decide the other cases themselves. In this way these men will share your work with you, and it will be easier for you to lead the people. If you do this as God directs you, then you will be able to do your job without tiring yourself out. And the people can still have all their problems solved before they return home.” So Moses did what Jethro told him. Moses chose good men from among the Israelites. He made them leaders over the people. There were rulers over 1000 people, 100 people, 50 people, and ten people. These rulers were judges for the people. The people could always bring their arguments to these rulers, and Moses had to decide only the most important cases. Exodus 18:13-26 (ERV)

Assign people to do some things. Their contributions is just what you need to attain that height of greatness. And to you who is the team member, be faithful and don’t hesitate to ask for help from others when its obvious you are going nowhere with that task assigned to you. Don’t have a nonchalant attitude towards whatever is assigned to you. Just imagine if you were the team leader and those who are members of your team decide to handle all task given to them with levity and in the end, the project fails. How would you feel?

To get the Job done, make your members involved? You will save yourself some energy and save yourself “self-inflicted” health issues.

To you who have been assigned to that task, do it faithfully and do what it takes to get the job done. Don’t say I am older than him/her, I have been here before he/she came. I am more experienced than him/her. If you are more experienced? Put the experience to work and let us see the benefits of the experience.

When we all learn to be like the human body, at the end of the day, we would all be proud of ourselves – team leader and members.

God bless you.

“Familiarity breeds contempt.” “You always hurt the ones you love.”! These words kept ringing and ringing in my head as I woke up over the weekend. These are old adages whose meaning are timeless and have stood through time.

It so happened that due to the close relationship that existed amongst Marcus and Hillary, you on the outside of this relationship would only anticipate good and nothing less. This wasn’t the case with the duo as one suddenly rose to the top and the other had to answer to him. Fellow employees who saw this did nothing better than to break up whatever existed between them. Marcus suddenly started to find himself in the midst of his colleagues who were constantly reminding him that his friend was no longer in their league. As this continued, a seed of contempt, jealousy and envy was planted in Marcus’ heart and these sprung up at a fast pace.

Hillary been the boss now and respected the friendship that existed between him and Marcus took time to explain that outside work, they are still who they are but when its about work, he should please make sure he doesn’t lag behind. Hillary’s plan was to ensure that his friend be at his best to enable him get to the top as himself. On the other hand, Marcus was so driven by contempt that he didn’t see the need to respect his friend now his boss. This led to a poor performance on Marcus’ part which later led to his retrenchment.

Sometimes, we find ourselves in the exact same shoes Marcus found himself in. That friend of yours suddenly gets ahead of you and you just can’t imagine yourself obeying or taking orders from that person. Sometimes it may be in the family where the younger suddenly outshines the older and this begins to breed contempt and all sorts of bad thoughts and wishes. It could even be children making better progress than their working-parents.

Let me remind you – Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Philippians 4:8 (MSG)

You may say, Fibee this is difficult. Sometimes they just flood one’s mind and head. Sometimes, they (colleagues and people) just come and say things. It’s not my choice. Yeah, I agree with you. But I must say you have a choice in it all. The choice to discard those thoughts, the choice to discard those sayings. The choice to do what is right in general. The choice is yours my dear friend.

I must say that I applaud Mr Hillary’s desire to help lift his friend to the top. Some of us, once we find ourselves in a position like Hillary, we soon forget who we were and become carried away with power and position that we end up hurting the ones who love us. Those who went through thick and thin with you, pushed you up that ladder of success and decided to climb after you have gone up. We don’t mind stepping on others just to remain at the top.

Need I remind you that – Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Philippians 2:3-4 (MSG)

Some of us aside from forgetting and stepping on others (especially those who have helped us reach our goal), we even start to portray these people in a bad light. I must sincerely tell you that when I see someone being cut down and divided into pieces by his/her so-called friend, I say to myself, “To what end? What will you gain out of this?”

Are you at the top? Help others get there.

Is someone you know dearly at the top? Respect him, love him. When bad thoughts begin to creep in, discard it without thinking twice.

Are you the one who is ready to step on anyone to get to the top? Let me ask you a question. Will you be there forever? When you are no longer there, can you look back and nod your head in approval of how you got there and what you did while you were there?

In conclusion, let me leave you with this Life truth – And that’s it. Eventually God will bring everything that we do out into the open and judge it according to its hidden intent, whether it’s good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:14 (MSG)

God bless you.

After breakfast one morning, I threw the crumbs of bread I had eaten into the dustbin. On getting back to the kitchen some hours later, I saw a line of these tiny ants coming and going. Surprised at the sight, I followed the ants to where they were going to and lo and behold it was my dustbin. I decided not to stop them and see how long it will take them to carry that crumb of bread. As if they knew I had dared them, when I returned after some hours what I saw wowed me. There was this tiny crumb that about five to six of them were carrying to wherever their destination was. After watching for some more hours, I discovered that this little creatures were not going to stop working, they just kept going and coming. Well my patience ran out and I spray them with some insecticide.

It didn’t take them long before they all disappeared and the unlucky ones died. How frail they were but very hard-working. Thinking that I have succeeded in sending them away, I was shocked when I saw that those living had found another route away from where the insecticide was to get back to business. You would almost think I was mad as I shouted at them, “don’t you ever give up?” I’m pretty sure they would have been laughing hard at me for shouting at them.

Growing up, my dad, my pastor, my teachers and almost every older person I knew always talked about learning from the ant. They said it like all you needed to do was to go get a book and a pen and go to the ant’s kingdom and ask for the school, enrol under the ant-teacher and learn. I’m sure you have heard that phrase before. To some people it has become a cliché. To me it had never been that. I just had a “one-way” understanding of that phrase. To me it meant that you should be hard-working.

The time spent studying this little creatures we don’t hesitate to step on or slap with our palms have taught me a life changing lesson. Another thing I discovered that day was that when I pressed on one with my finger, it didn’t give up its life so easily. It struggled and struggled, moved around a little and when it got better, it continued on its way not to safety but towards the farm (bread crumb) where its family were harvesting.

You lazy people can learn by watching an anthill. Ants don’t have leaders, but they store up food during harvest season. How long will you lie there doing nothing at all? When are you going to get up and stop sleeping? Sleep a little. Doze a little. Fold your hands and twiddle your thumbs. Suddenly, everything is gone, as though it had been taken by an armed robber. Proverbs 6:6-11 (CEV)

So many of us write in our résumé or curriculum vitae – “ability to work under pressure with little or no supervision”. Yes, I have that in mine too. The résumé or curriculum vitae I would be talking about today is that of life. In so many organization, there is what they call appraisal. This can be a driving force to work harder and work smarter whether supervised or not. How about when there is no appraisal? If there was appraisal in the ant kingdom, the boss would sure be tired of going through them as it would be so many.

In Life’s résumé or curriculum vitae, we don’t need to write that phrase I earlier mentioned. We would know because it would be so evident one way or another. This résumé or curriculum vitae we are talking about presents itself in different forms which includes our character, physical work, interpersonal relationships, marriages and a host of others.

Some of us, our character, behaviour and attitude is one that once people come in contact with, they puke instantly. Learn from the ant, don’t wait till people start to monitor your improvement before you start working on yourself. Wake up from your sleep, stop dozing. Don’t wait till you lose all your friends, your job, your spouse or even your family before reality dawns on you. Proverbs says “Suddenly, everything is gone, as though it had been taken by an armed robber”.

Some of us after reading that verse would quickly relate it to money, common on, its not only lack of money that makes one poor. When an armed robber goes to steal, he steals every thing valuable not just money. Don’t get robbed of your peace, your joy, your happiness, your home, your spouse, your relationship with people or everything all because you are too lazy to work on yourself, too lazy to work on that attitude, too lazy to work on your marriage, too lazy in general.

Learn from the ants, they don’t give up. When while trying to become a better you some things come to knock you out of line just like my insecticide, find another route just like those little creature. Are you pressed down just like the little ant I pressed down with a finger, struggle, shake off the pain, get back on your feet, join the line and achieve success.

I believe in you and I, let’s believe in ourselves and WAKE-UP from that laziness. I have a friend who likes to look down on people, mock people and just spite people in general. After talking to her about it, she said she would change but made no effort to till I could no longer cope with her. When I distanced myself from her and she discovered she had no one around her, it was almost too late. Then she decided to wake up, she sure was beaten left, right and center. She bore the pain and continued just like the ant till she became a different person altogether. She became one of the richest person I know, not because she had so much money, but because she had so much beauty in her which brought good things to her.

Don’t wait until laziness robs everything from you. Wake up, get up and work up.

And to end my story, the only way I could stop the ant, was by spraying insecticide on their farm (bread crumbs). They left to go find another farm. Until you are stopped by God himself, keep being an ANT…

God bless you.
