Life is Short but you can Conquer

 By Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Life is short. As you enjoy the beautiful earth, be careful because the waster, the devil, he walks to and fro seeking whom to devour. 1Peter 5:8, “Be sober-minded and be watchful. Your adversary the devil walks to and fro like a lion, seeking whom to devour.” The devil does not need your approval or permission to strike or put you under pressure. Do not be the worst enemy of your own life. Live a decent life and embrace holiness without which no human shall see God. Hebrews 12:14, “Strive for peace with everyone and for holiness without which no man shall see God.” You may wonder how it is possible to be the worst enemy of yourself. Anyone that fails to acknowledge God and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior is on the highway to hell. A man who is the worst enemy of himself is like the poor soul that dug a hole and finally falls into it. As a man thinks, so he is. Be free from habits that will ruin your future. There must be a striking resemblance betwee...

BED OF ROSES from the work in Progress Love Birds

 By Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Life is no bed of roses. I dressed up in clean clothes. The blouse was stunning see-through, skirt fits closely around the waist, slightly wider at the bottom and sleek heel shoes. It was elegant, graceful and showing the shape of my body. One last time, I stood before the mirror, checked my face, body and clothes. My narrow hips were powerful and well developed. Everyone has where he or she belongs. Today, I belong to the mountaintop. There was a chair and table beside the large mirror. I sat down on the chair and the table was within my reach. I pulled the drawer, took out my watch and wore it on the right hand. It fitted nicely on the wrist that sticks out. I gently rose to my feet, grabbed my handbag, hung it on the shoulder and walked out of the door. I connected a taxi that took me to where Jimmy asked us to meet. It was a nice place, especially if you are decent and on a mission. My past relationship was taking its toll. I felt used. If I do not disc...

From the Largest Digital Library in Africa, The Adventures of Nihu by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

            The Largest Digital  Library In Africa Old Phil’s time was up. The next day he would be leaving for the countryside. “I am already dreaming of home. It will be the new start to the life I have always wished to live. It will be a heaven every night. A man is for himself, but God is for us all.” Old Phil was once again seated on the log outside the hut.                 “Yes. You are right.” Nihu was straddled next to him. He nodded. “God is for everyone.” “Even me. Surviving the perils in this Lonely Forest means so much to me. I ought to give gratitude to the one that protects my soul. I do not do it ordinarily. I have to be tough.”           “I expect that of you. God is a tough mogul. We need to be worthy if we hope to find His favor.”           “But which god do you think I’m talking abo...

From Blinkist, Choose the format that fits your life. Read or Listen to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R Covey

  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People , first published in 1989, is a business and  self-help  book written by  Stephen Covey .  Covey presents an approach to being  effective  in attaining  goals  by aligning oneself to what he calls "true north" principles based on a  character ethic  that he presents as universal and timeless. Covey defines effectiveness as the balance of obtaining desirable results with caring for that, which produces those results. He illustrates this by referring to the fable of  the  goose that laid the golden eggs . He further claims that effectiveness can be expressed in terms of the P/PC ratio, where  P  refers to getting desired results and  PC  is caring for that which produces the results. Covey's best-known book has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide since its first publication. The audio version became the first non-fiction audio-book in U.S. publishing histor...

From the Book of Iniquity by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

He secured the door. I followed him to the sitting room where he sank into his favourite seat. “You can make yourself comfortable,” he pointed at the sofa. Without a word, I placed my bag on the sofa and slowly settled down. My eyes travelled round the room. The atmosphere was refreshing. No foul smell, he was organized. Attracted to the books carefully arranged on the shelf. I got up and walked there. I picked one of them and flipped through the pages. It did not look bad. I glanced at him, our eyes met. I said, “I like books. I read a lot.” He nodded almost a million times, and noted, “It’s good to read. What can I offer you?” I placed the book back on the shelf and returned to my seat. I turned to him and our eyes met again. I understand why he is staring at me. He was expecting my response. I sighed deeply and answered, “I am not overly choosy. Give me what you have!” “What if I offer myself?” I chuckled, “That will be asking for too much. Do you have soft drink?” “Sure.”...
