5 SONGS THAT MIGHT CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

Hi everyone, she's back. Its been a while, i know if am been paid for this job, i would have been fired, but am here now. its summer/holiday season presently, and apparently i spend so much time researching and listening to music, i almost wish that's an occupation. So as you can see from the title, 5 songs that might change your life, i only said that because i've literally listened to this songs about 50 times, and they all have inspired me in different ways, i have them on my playlist for any opportunity i have to listen to music in or out of my room. i hope you like it. lets get right to it then.

1. Falling into you - Hillsong young and free.


This song is everything, despite the fact that it was recorded from a live performance. the lyrics talks about how Gods love is so abundant for any and everyone, giving us the reassurance that we always have God to fall into, in as much we are ready to receive Him. Hillsong young and free are group of artists(singers) from the hillsong church, i love every single one of their songs,in fact  half of my playlist is two of their albums. Their songs are relatable and easy to connect to, especially for the youths.

2. First - Lauren Diagle.


Firstly, i have to give credit to this lady( Lauren Diagle), she is ta-len-ted. everytime i listen to tis song i can the passion in her voice. this song was my ringtone for a very long time. you know when the bible says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and every other shall be added unto thee", thats everyting it says, but in a song that would make me cry. i love it.

3. Face to Face - Hillsong young and free.

Also from the same music band as the first song, this blessed woman (Laura Toggs), F.Y.I she's the daughter of the pastor of the hillsong church Australia, am not supposed to know that but that's what happens when you are into something, she brought me to the realization of that point of salvation, and God's sacrifice on the cross, the song makes me look back and continually want to surrender my life.

4. I'll be the one - Bri

The first time i heard this song ( from my pastor), i was like 'wow'. its a very simple yet touching one. my first thought everytime , the harvest is plenty but the labourers are few. No more words.

5. Here as in Heaven - Elevation worship.

This song always makes me go to worship mode, everytime i listen to it. although it was the acoustic version i listened to the very first time, but meh'n i can't explain how much it ministers. All i can say is this is what is needed in every worship or prayer meeting

 And that brings me to the end of my story time, i hope you were blessed by all or most of the songs. you can leave your reaction below the blog post or comments on facebook. You welcome. Peace.

HOW TO BE HAPPY #coined from Bishop T.D Jakes

Just this morning, I saw this clip on facebook  from the Steve Harvey's show where he was interviewing Bishop T.D Jakes, and because the Bishop was someone I got to know when I was younger because my dad was always watching his Tv channel I felt pressured to click it and lo and behold it was talking about a question I have always asked myself especially recently. I've discovered  that most people around me, my colleagues, friends and people in my age circumference "I think'' are depressed and just unhappy about one thing or the other, and really I can say that also about myself.

In some cases where am able to get the reason why, I hear words like "see ehn, am confused about my life, am worried about my future, four years ago i thought me doing this or that will make me happy but it seems as there is no light in the end of the tunnel' life is just getting more difficult" and the best phrase have heard ever " life is a pot of beans".  And I do relate with all this complaints every time. So, back to the clip from the show, he was describing five actions that made him happy, so I felt inspired to understand it in my own words. Here you have it.

1.OWN YOUR HAPPINESS :  Your happiness should be in your hands, not in the hands of your friends, teachers or even partners in relationship or marriage. you should be the one to define your own happiness.

2. CHALLENGE YOUR STORY :  Its simple, if you are not happy about your present condition, just take a moment and review your life to see what possible changes you can make and challenging yourself to take a good step of making yourself happy.

3. ENJOY THE JOURNEY: Most of us spend our time worrying "too much" about how perfect the future has to be and we forget to enjoy the journey of getting there. It is said that Rome was not built in a day, so its better to enjoy the process and do things that we make you look back and be proud of yourself.

4. MAKE RELATIONSHIPS COUNT: I find myself guilty of this sometimes, because as human beings that we are, we sometimes need someone to lean on. First, make your relationship with God count first, so at least when you  are having troubles and challenges you know you have Him to hold onto, cos really you can trust anyone to be always there for you in times of difficult situation. I've learnt that in so many ways. Second, make your relationship with "people" count, i.e friends, families, colleagues, partners. As far as they are not pulling you down on the ladder to success.

5. BALANCE WORK WITH PLAY: Very straightforward, its easy....travel, go see places, make more friends, try things you have not tried before (good things though) whatever you can think of. Or else you will find yourself drained up everytime.

Thanks for reading. For more issues you would like me to blog about, inbox me on my facebook wall. Peace.
