Never Ever Give Up on Your Purpose
By Tolulope A. Adegoke
“Your lessons will not come easily. Suffering has always been a conveyor for deep spiritual growths to arriving at the full stature of your authentic being as “Supernatural” for the unleashing and delivery of possibilities, if you will not give up. Those who have endured great suffering are generally, the ones who evolve into “great” beings and operates beyond the natural comprehension, thereby putting to flights the demons called ‘fear, doubt and greed’ in their courses for greater causes – that is, the good of mankind and to the glory of God Almighty (The Maker). – Tolulope A. Adegoke, Ph.D., MNIM
I need to remind you again that it is an error to give up, and the consequence of such action is horrific, dishonouring to the divine intents of creation by the Creator. You need to understand and acknowledge that you are far greater than you have ever dreamed of, because you were Made Above Nature. Besides, you were ordained and created to be Manager over All Natural things (resources). So, no matter what you may be experiencing as an individual, corporate organization, as a people or nation at the moment, is for your good and unfolding in your best interests. Though, it may not look so pretty, but it is definitely what you need to learn and earn from for you to grow into exactly what you have been destined to become. Everything happening in your life or around you has been perfectly orchestrated to inspire and usher you into the full stature of your authentic being. Observe deeply and learn from life, then allow your experiences to translate you from darkness into the true Light, from zero to HERO! Everything has your best interest in mind. With this understanding, you will gain access to many interesting answers to life’s most important and sensitive questions and agitations. I pray that you find more truths and gain more access to Light (deep insights) into the way the world works as ordained by God Almighty, and how you can succeed within it.
You must also understand that the answers you are craving for already lie within you, and you can access them by digging deep and investing in quality time with your inner MAN as you daily subscribe and align with the MAKER’s will per-time. There is nowhere else to look. Absolutely, my words may trigger openings for you and within you which serve to help you to accurately and gradually remember what you already know at your core, that is your true being – as intended by God Almighty, The Maker.
You must never permit doubt to rob you of the treasure trove of wisdom, power, love and drive sleeping within your earthen vessels which are waiting to be awakened and unleashed by your courageous side. Isn’t that inspirational and motivational? Everything you need to become are all locked up within your earthen vessel, all you need to do is self-exploration through meditation, dialoguing with The Maker regarding your needs and essences. The book of Isaiah 1:18 reveals that there is a daily call from The Maker, God Almighty Himself to us to dialogue with Him, and our job is to do the inner works required to blast the blocks or mountains which have been hindering and denying us true accesses to our original nature as MAN (Made Above Nature), that is Supernatural, which God Almighty has called us to be and operate on per-time as unveiled to us in the book of Genesis 1:26-28.
Honestly, the authentic purpose of human life is to walk the path of Great Awakening of “Who” the Creator has created us to be (Above the Natural or ordinary), which is an indication that God has not created us to merely exist, but live, create and recreate as Himself, because we have been made in His “Image and Likeness”.
Many across the world today have lost this connection to our authentic selves; this original state of being in which we were afraid to walk and work toward possibilities to arrive for the stars and operate as “gods” (Kings and Priests) over all the Earth as revealed in the book of Revelation 1:6. Unfortunately, so many people do not know “who” they truly are. Many of them have morphed into people who behave selfishly, fearfully, hurtfully and hatefully. This behavior or trait is a reflection of our true essence as Supernatural being called MAN, but is instead, a reflection of the wounds which we have suffered as we have ignorantly and selfishly translated from innocence which we were born with and travel along the journey of our days to stupidity, pride, self, greed and hate.
You must understand also that “only people in pain can do painful things. Only people who have been hurt can terribly hurt others. Only people with a closed heart are able to act in less than loving ways. I strongly believe that one of the whole reason we are alive, is to grow into our greatest selves and operate with the truth about who we fundamentally are. Life itself will support your “just” course perfectly in this quest. You will be directly and indirectly, consciously and unconsciously linked with people, occasions, experiences and trials that will invite you to heal, reveal or unveil more of your brilliance and discover more of your possibilities.
Often, your lessons will not come easily. Suffering has always been a conveyor for deep spiritual growths to arriving at the full stature of your authentic being as “Supernatural” for the unleashing and delivery of possibilities, if you will not give up. Therefore, those who have endured great suffering are generally the ones who evolve into “great” beings; put in another word, “possiblitarians” (Supernatural).

Dear Destiny Friends,
The importance of timing cannot be overemphasized. Timing is everything in life. It is critical to one’s success. You can lose your money and get it back in many folds. You can even lose your health and get it back all things being equal, but when you lose time, you can hardly get it back again.
The importance of timing can be seen in crops. Every crop has a season, a good farmer won’t plant maize when it’s time for oranges, nor will he plant pears when it’s the season for mangoes.
Time is very instrumental to the success and failure of anyone. Imagine having a meeting or interview at 9:00am and you arrive at 10:10am, it will take the grace of God to be interviewed. As an employee, apart from one not being able to diligently do his job, one of the fastest ways for an employee to lose his job is by being late to work.
When I was in New York Law School studying Taxation law, I did a course titled, the Problem of Timing. During the semester, I learnt about cash and accrued income. Let me do some academic exercise here. In cash income, just like the name entails, one is paid in cash as soon as the work is completed. It’s just like going to the market to make a purchase. One can either pay directly with cash or with debit or credit card. But Accrued income refers to revenue a company has earned by providing goods or services, but for which payment has not yet been received, one will have to do the work first before getting paid. This is applicable when one works in either a public or private organization where one is paid either weekly, bi-weekly or at the end of the month depending on the stipulated mode of payment.
It’s important to note that before the money is paid either in cash or accrued, one would have earned it. It’s just like one learning g before earning, and one will have to update to upgrade. These are just the practical principles that will work with life.
In the same way, in life there’s a seed time and harvest time. It’s a universal principle of life. Whether as a parent, entrepreneur, student or employee. As a parent, if you don’t train your kids very well, they will grow up to reflect the opposite of what you desire. As an entrepreneur when you invest in your business, you will get the reward in due time. As a student, if you take your studies seriously, your grades will improve, and as an employee, you stand to get promotions and opportunities when you add value to your work. In summary, one will have to put in the work before recognition comes on.
To understand how seedtime and harvest work, imagine where parents tend to like one child more than others just because they see potential in him, or he’s smart, hardworking or even creative. They fail to understand that every child is different and as such their timing can be different. Some kinds take time to develop.
I personally believe there’s something so unique about each individual which God has deposited in everyone of us. It’s just a matter of time for it to manifest. Your timing of manifestation is different from your siblings and colleagues.
Personally, I didn’t mature fast with my contemporaries. Overtime, I have seen much improvement in my personal and professional life. Maybe because I have added value to my work with the assistance of mentors and good friends, or God had to humble my colleagues and mentors . Why do I say this? During my formative years, I had little or nothing to show for it. I was looking at my contemporaries as mentor and seeing my mentors as small gods whose feat is unattainable, but now, the reverse seems to be case as I have developed capacity some of my colleagues are yet to attain, while I have even surpassed the achievement of my some of my mentors in some quarters.
In all these, they are all surprised how it happened. Some are yet to comprehend or articulate the feat. It’s just like watching a film where everyone slept and woke up to see the game and tides have changed. The secret behind it is the seed time and harvest time. I was probably learning the trade while in the wilderness, and when the training season matured and ripe enough to be harvested, I became attractive to almost everyone who loved the seed I was producing.
There are litany of examples of people, who have been in the wilderness during the seed planting season. Let’s take a case study of Joseph in the Bible, his journey to stardom took a little twist. Despite the travails he experienced in the hands of his siblings who sold him, his experience while in the jail, and with Portiphar’s wife, who tried to seduce him; they were all set ups for success. The moral here is Joseph seed time and harvest time was quite different, it wasn’t a smooth journey. Ordinarily, one would have cursed his siblings or his friends who were with him in prison and forgot him after they were released. But at the end of time, everything worked out for his favor. Joseph’s seed days were his dark days while in the wilderness.
Another inspiring story of note was that of Pastor Ibukun Awosika, the former board Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria. She once shared a pathetic story during her formative years of being in business. According to her, she sojourned for about 15 years. She cried because lines were not adding up for her and she wouldn’t do what her contemporaries were doing to get opportunities. At a point in her business, it appeared like she was in a race of own life because everything seemed to be against her, but at the appropriate time, lines began to fall in place for her. Appointments, business opportunities, favours and goodwill began to fall in place for her. Again, she had a fair share of seed time.
An interesting question I would like to ask you is, what’s your seed time? Have you ever been in the wilderness when you appeared to be fixed? It’s unfortunate many people are not willing to pass through the storms or experience seeds and harvest time. Amidst all these, one must do some work before they get opportunities. However, before such opportunities will come up, one will have to plant the seed.
In conclusion, seed time and harvest time is critical in the journey of life. Take a seat and determine what seed you would like to sow and what you’ll like to harvest.

Globacom is welcoming new customers on its network with the introduction of the e-SIM. The e-SIM activated in any Gloworld shop or Dealer outlet comes with an introductory free 5GB data when the customer buys a data plan of N1,500 or more.
Customers already on other networks can now join the Glo network with e-SIM as an additional SIM. Existing Glo customers can also enjoy this “SIM-less” freedom.
With the e-SIM, customers no longer have to worry about space for a physical SIM on their phones. The e-SIM is a software-based digital chip built directly into smartphones or wearable devices, thus eliminating the need for a physical SIM card for customers.
The use of e-SIM enables customers to have seamless switching between phone numbers without a physical SIM. It is ideal for upwardly mobile people who travel frequently. The e-SIM also guarantees security, as unlike physical SIM, it is harder to remove from devices. It is also eco-friendly and reduces plastic waste.
Globacom’s launch of the e-SIM enables enables it to cater to high-net-worth individuals and enterprise customers, and it also reinforces the company’s commitment to providing seamless and future-ready services to its customers.
A customer seeking to activate the Glo e-SIM needs to check the compatibility of the mobile handset by dialling *#06# on his or her phone. If an EID number reflects on the mobile screen, the device is e-SIM compatible.
“The customer can then proceed to the nearest Gloworld shop or Glo Dealer outlet to migrate to e-SIM. The process takes only a few minutes and the customer can thereafter begin to enjoy the use of an e-SIM”, the Marketing Department disclosed.
