Opinion: Be Illimitable!

“Righteousness, purity will prevent you from hell-fire, but Creativity will prevent you from earth-fire!”
– Samson Adah Paul
A man may be born into emptiness but no man is empty. A man may be born into blindness, but no man was born blind!
Thomas Edison only had 3months of formal education before he was asked by the school authority to leave because he was regarded a blockhead, but at the end, he left indelible marks and history absorbed him. He became the inventor of light, microphone, science laboratory, generator and many more.
Another vivid example is our Lord Jesus Christ who fulfilled destiny, such that today, uncountable institutions, establishments, ministries has been established in His name.
Dear friends, nothing is too late to achieve! You may not be a professor, but you can still be an inventor!
You can achieve anything because you are an image of God for free…
The word MAN isn’t just a name, but a title backed up with responsibilities. I mean to unveil to you that it is simply:
Made
Above
Nature!
Progress and development are not products of mere work, money, but the products of DOMINION!
the state of DOMINION is the ability to produce with everything God had created you to become, and as well to subdue!
The Holy Scriptures in the Book of Genesis 1 reveals that each animals were created to be pets to MAN, not to be threats to creations, but when Man fell from DOMINION, Man replaced the positions of the animals, while animals replaced the place of dragons.
Isaiah 11:6-9 as well reveals that the place of dominion is the place of subduing the earth!
CREATIVITY: The Proof of being Unlimited!
Creativity is the act of making something out of nothing. It is the act of overcoming fear and making bold steps and ideas for positive changes.
Creativity could also be stated as the acts of coordinating and cultivating several artistic and scientific processes to solving problems.
The alternative to creativity is witchcraft! If a Believer is not creative, then he is nothing but the aforementioned. Witchcraft is the act of boycotting processes to achieve aims or solve problems.
A man who is not creative is the same as a demon! Lack of creative minds is one of the ultimate causes of extreme poverty!Among others are the causes causes of poverty:
• Bad government
•Illiteracy
•Lack of good directions /guidance
•Ignorance etc.
The problem confronting this part of the world is none of the above, but WORK!
You may not be fruitful when you are hardworking, yet be foodful (stomach infrastructure/ policy) !but when you are a Creative Worker, you can be FRUITFUL.
Work isn’t the original plan of God for MAN, he was created for “Creative Works!”
Entering a bus as a means of transportation could be hard labour, but a plane is a product of Creative Work!
When you do not manufacture, you suffer many fractures!
Work is something you do without applying your mind, but to be creative, you need to work with your MIND!
Righteousness, purity will prevent you from hell fire, but Creativity will prevent you from earth-fire! The qualification for manual work is academic qualification, while that of Creative Work are Divine Inspiration, Revelations and Illuminations!
When you work with your mind, you become the friend of God! You need the power of IMAGINATION to work, to do and to be productive enough to achieve the impossible!
When you work in the realm of imagination, you become productive! Imagine to do and to become!
What you need is simply change of thought patterns!
You can make money with all things if you are creative – money answereth all things!
Engage in all labours with a Creative Mind, you will earn your unimaginable profits.
Alot of people have become slaves in their own lands! There is need to engage Divine Revelation to be productive. The only advantage Man has over robots is the MIND!
Equipment are products of Creative inventions, and has stopped man from working.
We are in the age of the express creativity beyond the ordinary-money will fail, businesses will fold of up, but a Creative Mind will always be a sought-after (that is, force to reckon with)!
Schooling without academic productions is a waste of life!
The Laws that Guides Creativity!
The Book of Genesis 1:2 speaks volume on the above subject, which has to do with the BEGINNING OF CREATION!
The law that guides Creativity says, you must start at the BEGINNING so as not to end up begging for spaces at the top!
The Third World Countries are abusing the above law of creativity! They do not want to start anything from the beginning, that is why they end up begging for incentives, because they have failed to be retentive! They do not want to start small, that’s why they live so exorbitantly.
You can afford with little beginnings. I charge you to start now! Do not hesitate, do not wait. Start small! Do not despise little beginnings.
The word DOMINION is a combination of three powerful words, that states:
Do(ing) Mini On and On! That is to say, Do small things, and be consistent with it, then you promotion or advancement is assured! Any MAN who doesn’t have a beginning is FAKE!
(To be continued …)

A federal judge in the United States, on Thursday, put a temporary block on President Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict birthright citizenship.
The ruling imposes a 14-day halt on the enforcement of one of the most controversial executive orders Trump signed hours after being sworn into office for a second term.
It comes after lawsuits were filed by a total of 22 states, two cities and numerous civil rights groups.
“This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” senior US District Judge John Coughenour was reported as saying during the hearing in Washington State.
“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is,” said Coughenour, who was appointed to the bench by a Republican president, Ronald Reagan.
Birthright citizenship is fundamental to America’s national identity, with the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution decreeing that anyone born on US soil is a citizen.
It says, in part: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Trump’s order was premised on the idea that anyone in the US illegally, or on a visa, was not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the country, and therefore excluded from this category.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, Ondo State capital has upheld the death sentence of Ramon Adedoyin, a prominent businessman and hotelier, for his involvement in the murder of one Timothy Adegoke, a former postgraduate student of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Delivering the judgment on Thursday, the court affirmed the earlier verdict of the Osun State High Court, which had sentenced Adedoyin to death.
“The judgment of the High Court of Osun State stands. Adedoyin’s appeal is dismissed in part,” the court declared in part.
The Court of Appeal, however, set aside some aspects of the lower court’s orders, including the forfeiture of the Hilton Hotel and the order for Adedoyin to pay for the education of Adegoke’s children.
Furthermore, the court ruled that it had no jurisdiction to impose penalties outside the statutory provisions
Adegoke’s death was reported in November 2021 after his corpse was found at the Hilton Honours Hotel in Ile-Ife, Osun State, where he had lodged.
The hotelier had travelled from Abuja for an examination at a distance learning centre in Moro, Osun State on November 5 of that year.
He had checked into the hotel but was reported missing after two days. However, Adegoke’s body was found days later, leading to a probe that linked his death to Adedoyin and others.
In May 2023, Adedoyin and others were sentenced to death after they were found guilty of murder and conspiracy to murder.
But dissatisfied with the judgement, Adedoyin approached the Appeal court to dismiss the sentence and conviction.
The court of appeal, on Thursday, however, upheld the conviction and death sentence of the hotelier.
The Nigeria Police have announced that their operatives have rescued Mrs Folasade Odumosu, the wife of a former Assistant Inspector General, Hakeem Odumosu, who was last Thursday, kidnapped at the entrance of her home in Arepo, Ogun State.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, noting that two of the kidnappers were killed while four others escaped without their weapons.
Adejobi said with the support of the Force Headquarters technical intelligence platforms, the Ogun State police operatives engaged Odumosu’s abductors in a gun duel and neutralized the criminals in the swampy area of Ikorodu on Wednesday.
The police spokesman added that Mrs Odumosu is currently undergoing a medical evaluation and has since been reunited with her family.
The statement read, “In a commendable display of teamwork and swift action, police operatives attached to the Ogun State Command have successfully neutralized the kidnappers of Mrs. Odumosu, wife of Retired Assistant-Inspector General, AIG Hakeem Odumosu, and rescued her unharmed.
“On January 16, 2025, at approximately 9:45 PM, four masked gunmen forcibly abducted Mrs. Odumosu from her Lexus Jeep outside her residence in Arepo, Ogun State. The abduction sparked an immediate response from the anti-kidnapping unit of the Ogun State Police Command, who commenced a thorough investigation and targeted pursuit of the kidnappers.
“With the support of the Force Headquarters technical intelligence platforms, the Ogun State police operatives engaged in extensive surveillance of the creeks surrounding Arepo, gathering crucial information to track down the assailants. Their efforts culminated in a raid on January 23, 2025, at around 06:45 AM. The intelligence-led operation took the police to a creek in the swampy area of Ikorodu, where the kidnappers were reportedly planning their next attack.
“Upon arrival, the operatives encountered the kidnappers, who opened fire. In the ensuing confrontation, two of the gunmen were neutralized, while four others fled the scene, abandoning their operational weapons.”
Adejobi said the police operatives recovered N10m initially paid to the kidnappers, four Ak-47 rifles, three locally made single barrel rifles, and ammunition of various calibres.
He added, “The victim, Mrs Odumosu was rescued within the swampy creeks during the operation, unharmed. She is currently undergoing medical evaluation as a precautionary measure and has since been reunited with her family. The police also recovered 4 Ak-47 rifles, 3 locally made single barrel rifles, ammunition of various calibres, and the sum of N10,000,000 ransom previously demanded by the kidnappers, further ensuring that justice is served.”
Adejobi said the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, commended the police operatives and the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, for the rescue operation.
He asserted that the Police Force is committed to safeguarding the citizens and combat kidnapping and other violent crimes.
“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has commended the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, and his operatives for their displayed gallantry in this successful operation.
“This operation exemplifies the dedication and resilience of our Police officers. The Nigeria Police Force remains steadfast in its mission to combat kidnapping and other violent crimes, providing safety and security to all citizens,” he added.
