Tina asked me what my course was and challenged me to follow the path of least resistance. What is that path for you?

Time is the most valuable commodity in the universe. We need to budget it and account for it.

We have limited time to accomplish what we desire on earth. Our greatest opportunity lies in our ability to decide what we are designed to do early enough and start doing it early in life.

Talent is never enough. We must learn the ropes how to deploy talent in the world. And we must not be too proud to learn.

The thrust of today's contemplation is the value of the education we are receiving. Is it relevant to our life's vision. Is it relevant to our circumstances. How about our children?

Day V of our contemplations on the book "If I Were to Live Again". Fatherhood is not the ability to give birth. That's fertility. Fatherhood involves raising children to be contributors in society.

We are born searching for answers but we typically grow up getting used to the way things are. I believe curiosity helps open us up to more and more knowledge. We need to sustain it.

The Igbos have a saying "Whenever a person wakes up, that's his morning". This idea forms the primary thought in the preface of my book "If I Were to Live Again". I discus the main points in this podcast. Highly motivating. You can sure start over. Wake up!

Presbyterian Church Synod of the West Daily Devotional with David Faleye 5th July 2019

Discussing the forward as written by Dr. Gloria Dzeha we find she is able to give an incredible summary of the book "If I Were to Live Again". Reading the forward itself will give the reading some intellectual capital.

Today's episode is from my recent book "If I Were to Live Again" which is available on Amazon. I speak about the Igbo ideology that you can always find relative even when you are abroad. You can also have an open mind and relate well with people who are not from your family, tribe, country or race.

In these days of freedom of expression it is instructive that a man can still be suspended for showing his backside on the football pitch. It tells us society can still define what acceptable behaviour is.

The whole world is full of pyramids. Those at the top rise because they have discovered how things work. Most people are not willing to make the effort required to rise.

Not everything valuable must be comfortable. Pain in our bodies communicate to us something that needs to be corrected. So does pain from punishment. Our feel good paradigm does not always produce disciplined people.

Should we use WhatsApp emoticons or not? Should we drink or not? Should we visit nightclubs or not? And why do we want the answers to these questions?

This podcast is not about romance between a man and a woman. Neither is it about homosexuality. Listen to three R's that will make your relationships "gay"

The question a young lady asked me that got my attention and made her stand out at her job. Whatever her motives are, I was impressed with her enthusiasm. It can light up anyone.

You are the only legal option your spouse has for sex. It doesn't make sense to leave sex out of your relationship or to belittle its importance.

What values do the companies we want to work for stand for? What is the long term goal of the MLM organisation we want to join? How does this product I am selling really add value to life? These are questions rarely asked in our part of the world. We tend to mostly ask "How much will I get?"

I do not think it was judgement. "Deliver us from evil"

Righteousness Exalts a Nation doesn't mean we need more people praying or we need morning devotion in State House. It means we need to work more on our personal character and discipline. A nation full of just people will be exalted not a nation full of church buildings.

Nice looking buildings are not necessarily evidence of God's glory in a nation. Incidentally the Lord Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple to give way to a new kind of temple. And the new testament church was never fascinated with buildings.

Certain things we simply cannot explain are still real. Our inability to explain them does not take away their reality.

As teachers or parents we find ourselves trying hard to indoctrinate our little ones with concepts we ourselves do not fully understand. I think its being honest to sometimes answer "I believe but I don't fully understand"

How come God did not ask David to dissolve the union with Bathsheba since it had such a queer foundation? What are the limits of restitution?
