*💡ARISE AND SHINE 💡* *[Ephesians 5:8]* ----------------------------------------------------------‐-------- *[ALL THINGS MADE NEW]* *[WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED?]* To succeed is a right intention, but the motivation to succeed may be wrong... *[NLT- Ecclesiastes 4:4 Then I observed that most people are motivated to succeed because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless-like chasing the wind.]* Some pray to be blessed by God "so that my enemies shall be put to shame." Others strive to succeed 'so that my mates will respect me.' Still others, become diligent "so that I'l be greater than my mate." These are not proper motivations for success. Beloved, as you strive for excellence unto the glory of our excellent God, may the grace to excel be multiplied unto you, in Jesus' name. Amen. *#ChildrenOfLight*

When a lioness is in the mood, you'd better keep up—or risk getting bitten... hard. 🦁😳 In the animal kingdom, lions are often seen as the kings of the jungle. But when it comes to mating? The lioness wears the crown—and she's not here to play. When a lioness goes into heat, she wants action. A lot of it. We're talking 20 to 40 times a day, sometimes every 20 minutes. And guess who sets the pace? Yep—she does. Now here’s the wild part: if the male lion tries to take a break, nap, or tap out early… the lioness doesn’t just nudge him. Oh no—she bites him on the testicles to wake him up and get things going again. Talk about motivational tactics. Male lions may look powerful lounging around the savannah, but during this time, they are basically exhausted, overworked mating machines. Their entire role? Stand up. Get busy. Repeat. Over and over. This intense mating behaviour isn’t just for fun (though who’s to say?). It’s evolution at work. Frequent mating increases the chances of fertilisation and ensures the lioness will conceive during her short fertile window. So if one male can’t keep up? Too bad. She’ll move on to the next. And the pressure’s real—if a male lion can’t perform, he risks being replaced. The jungle has no chill. So what’s the takeaway here? Next time you hear someone say “the lion is the king,” remember: the lioness is out here biting balls and running the pride like a boss. Lions may be fierce hunters, but when it comes to the bedroom? The lioness makes the rules—and they’re brutal.

It is wise to be cautious about whom you trust, as life can be filled with insincere individuals. Please follow for daily insights and motivation.

Olivia invited me for her mother's burial memorial, and when I got there the picture of the person I saw for the memorial looked Exactly like Madam Iruoma. I stood in shock looking at the picture when Olivia approached me, Is this your mother? I asked Olivia. Yes; she replied. She is beautiful. I said to Olivia. Thank you Ayochidi. Olivia replied. What's her name? I asked Olivia. Lebechi. Angela replied. That's a nice name. Come let me go introduce you to my father. Olivia said, but then someone started calling her name. Just wait here I'm coming let me go attend to the emergency. Olivia said. She left, and I continued staring at the picture. She can't be the one. I said to myself. I was still in my world of thought, when someone touched my back. I turned and immediately I saw Iruoma, I screamed. Arghh. What's the problem? Everyone turned looking as at me. Olivia hurriedly came out, Ayochidi what is it? Olivia asked me. I looked at the memorial banner and looked at Iruoma. You can't be serious. This is aunty Iruoma, my mother's twin. Olivia said. Really? I asked Olivia. Yes. She replied. You never told me your mother had a twin. I said. Now you know. She said. Come let me go introduce you to my father. Olivia said. She took me to the room where her father was all alone, Daddy this is Ayochidi my boyfriend. Olivia said. Boyfriend? I whispered to Olivia's ear. Ayochidi please this is my only daughter. Please take good care of her well. Please don't break my daughter's heart. Olivia's father said to me. I will try my best sir. I replied. Ayochidi, don't try your best; do your best. Do I make myself clear? Her father asked me. Yes, I replied. Olivia and I came outside the room. You didn't tell me I was your boyfriend. I told her in a low tune. I invited you and you came, I thought you like me already. Olivia said. I like you, but. Olivia held my lips. No buts Ayochidi. Don't tell me all the dates mearnt nothing to you. Olivia said. It meant something. I replied. Olivia came close to me and gave me a passionate kiss. This kiss felt different, it felt like the kiss of true love. I felt the connection inside of me. I was kissing Olivia when I saw Iruoma passed by. I disconnected the kiss. What happened? Olivia asked me. Nothing. I said. I thought, I heard your name. I said. I didn't hear anything Ayochidi, I don't want this to end. Olivia said. It won't. I assured her. I think you should use the restroom, there's lipstick on your lips. Olivia said. I touched my lips. I just smiled. Where's the bathroom? I asked her. She showed me her bedroom's bathroom. She followed me inside and adjusted her lipstick before heading out. I will see you later. She said before leaving. As soon as she left, I heard someone come into the room again. Who's that? I asked. There was no response. I had to come outside of the bathroom and when I came outside, I saw Iruoma standing seductively at the door. She locked the door and hide the key in her pocket. What's going on? I asked Iruoma as she approached me. I told you Ayochidi, when you have me, you have me alone. What are you doing with my sister's daughter? She asked me as she approached me. Iruoma can we not do this here, we are at a burial memorial, give your sister some respect. I said. Respect? You are talking about respect? We will talk about this later, but now come make mommy feel better. Iruoma said to me. I can't. I said. You will, and you must!!! Iruoma said to me as she approached me seductively. As she came towards me, we heard a knock on the door. It was Olivia knocking. Your shares is my biggest motivation to continue... To Be Continued... Title: Room Service 5.

Help me to walk in faith, to trust in Your goodness, and to glorify You in all that I do. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

MISTAKES FOOLISH MEN MAKE 🚨 Some men think they are wise, but their foolishness is louder than a generator at 2 AM. They spend on random women, ignore their families, and behave like big boys until reality humbles them. If you want a peaceful and successful life, avoid these 15 foolish mistakes: 1. YOU FEED STRANGERS, BUT YOUR FAMILY IS HUNGRY Your wife asks for money to cook, you say “manage things.” Your children need new shoes, you tell them “things are tough.” But when a slay queen sends “Hey baby, I’m craving pizza”, you’re already on your way to Domino’s like a delivery man. 🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Your own family is suffering, but you’re feeding someone who is only with you because of your money. Who really needs deliverance here? 2. YOU ENJOY LIFE OUTSIDE, BUT YOUR HOME IS A WAR ZONE You’re “outside” every weekend, drinking, dancing, calling yourself “big man”, while your wife is at home, thinking about how to pay rent and feed the kids. 🚨 REALITY CHECK: One day, you’ll return home broke, and the woman you abandoned will be the only one standing by you. By then, it might be too late. 3. YOU’RE INVESTING IN SOMEONE ELSE’S WIFE You think you’re helping a “babe” grow by sending her money? She’s just waiting for a serious man to marry her. You’re paying her bills, sponsoring her hair, nails, and data. But when she’s ready to settle down, she will marry another man. 🚨 CONGRATULATIONS IN ADVANCE: You just built up another man’s wife. Hope you’ll attend the wedding! 😂 4. YOU THINK ASHAWO LOVES YOU – NO, SHE LOVES YOUR WALLET She calls you “baby” because you’re spending money, not because she actually cares. 🚨 WAKE UP! The moment you go broke, she will disappear faster than free WiFi in a crowded area. Oga, you’re not her type – your money is! 5. YOU’RE A BIG MAN OUTSIDE, BUT BROKE IN YOUR OWN HOUSE Outside, you’re a chairman. Inside, you’re a charity case. Your friends see you drinking expensive whiskey, but your children are drinking garri with no sugar. 🚨 EVEN YOUR ANCESTORS ARE SHOCKED. Fix your priorities before life resets you. 6. YOU SMOKE, DRINK, GAMBLE, BUT CAN’T PAY SCHOOL FEES Every weekend, you spend ₦50k on smoking and drinking, but when school fees arrive, you start telling your wife “times are hard.” Oga, times are not hard, you are just stupid. Instead of investing in your children, you’re investing in alcohol. 🚨 REALITY WILL HUMBLE YOU. The same children you abandoned will be the ones to abandon you in old age. 7. YOU’RE CHASING GIRLS WHILE YOUR LIFE IS FALLING APART Your mates are building businesses, but you’re building a catalog of side chicks. You know all the girls in town, but you don’t know how to make money. 🚨 BE SERIOUS WITH YOUR LIFE, BRO. Girls will not help you when you’re broke. Focus on success first – the right woman will come. 8. YOU’RE SPENDING MONEY ON A GIRL WHO’S SAVING FOR ANOTHER MAN You send her urgent 2K, she tells you “thanks baby 😍” But the money goes straight into her savings account for her real boyfriend. 🚨 ONE DAY, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. When she gets married, don’t be surprised if the husband is the same guy you thought was “just a friend.” 9. YOU CALL YOURSELF A “BIG BOY” BUT YOU HAVE NO INVESTMENTS You wear designers, use the latest iPhone, but your account balance is on life support. 🚨 TRUE WEALTH IS SILENT. If your money is only for show, you’ll be broke before you hit 40. 10. YOU’RE COMPETING WITH YOUR MATES WHO HAVE MULTIPLE INCOME SOURCES Your friends invest in real estate, stocks, and businesses, but you’re busy competing over who can pop the most bottles at the club. 🚨 LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION OF STUPIDITY. If you don’t invest now, you’ll be begging your mates for help later. 11. YOU SLEEP AROUND, BUT EXPECT A FAITHFUL WIFE You cheat with everything in a skirt, but the day you see your wife talking to another man, you become a motivational speaker on loyalty. 🚨 KARMA IS NOT A MYTH. If you want a good woman, be a good man first. 12. YOU KEEP BORROWING TO IMPRESS PEOPLE WHO DON’T CARE You take loans just to live large, but those people you’re impressing won’t help you when you’re in debt. 🚨 STOP LIVING FAKE LIFE. Wealthy men don’t borrow money for luxury – they invest and multiply it. 13. YOU CHOOSE WOMEN BASED ON LOOKS, NOT CHARACTER She’s fine, but does she have sense? She’s sexy, but does she have self-respect? 🚨 A PRETTY FOOL WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. Choose wisely before you end up with a liability, not a wife. 14. YOU ALLOW WOMEN TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE A woman asks for money, you empty your account. She tells you to stop talking to your friends, you obey like a child. 🚨 BE A MAN, NOT A PUPPET. A woman should complement your life, not control it. 15. YOU NEGLECT YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE You believe in money, women, and vibes, but when problems come, who will fight for you? 🚨 EVEN BILLIONAIRES PRAY. If you think money is everything, you’ll learn the hard way that life is deeper than cash.
