The wilderness journey is one that is marked by perseverance on the side of the man that travels that path. Life is sometimes filled with many uncertainties and difficulty, which sometimes most of us despise and feel uneasy about.
The road to greatness is marked with so many discouragements, that most times you feel like crossing to the other side, where you can get eternal peace.
The wilderness is a great teacher and also a place of purification, where the desired is designed according to specification. Just like pure gold is obtained through the process of heating, that is how tough people are obtained from tough seasons.
Most great scholars and men who have made a mark, have recognized this wilderness period as a time of purification and grooming, that is the secret that kept them moving and advancing in their journey(learning to see the positives of every experience).
Great minds see things differently, and perceive things rightly, that’s why they make progress. Every man was made equal, but what separates us, is our perception about issues and stuffs. What we call unpleasant experiences sometimes becomes the pathway that makes us what people really admire.
The wilderness period, is a time where a new character is acquired, so as to make us stand strong and be able to withstand the pressures of what might be committed into our hands.
God speaks to us in times like this,and our sensitivity to moments like this usually marks a leap in our life,that produces an advancement in the physical if correctly applied, it is a period where you recognize the power resident in you to make a difference for the world to see.
Though I have been here severally, but then it is a place where all men will choose not to be, except those that get the revelation. Above all, key into God's provided grace to learn to see what he wants out of your life.
Great awaits the man who will yield himself to God,and understand that every route God takes you in life,is targeted at making you his choice person.

LIVING WITH THE MINDSET OF A STRANGER
It is a hard truth to believe, and a reality that is most times denied, because we sometimes develop love for certain places and people we have met in life, and the difficulty of letting go, really dreads our very soul.
I have been confronted most times with hard issues in my life, whose experiences sometimes leave a scar on me. One of such pains is the loss of my dear father that cared for me, and meant the world to me.
When I heard the news of his death, it sapped me of my energy that I lay on my bed all night crying in my heart for the demise of a man, who lived to ensure that the basic things of life will not elude me. As I pondered over this great loss, one thing popped out of my mind that we are all strangers in this world, and we will someday depart.
The legacy we leave behind as strangers in this world is what remains pertinent as we journey through this life. Life most times comes with uncertainties which tend to build up into fears that drains and saps the very energy from us.
One great revelation that will deliver you from every machination and schemes of the evil one is that you can do without that thing you hold so dear to you, provided it does not form the essence of your being.
Letting go off things we have developed love for, can really be a very difficult task to take, most times it seems really impossible to do that. The act of love goes with our emotions, and most times our emotions sometimes becloud our sense of logical reasoning. Emotions are like your personal weapons that may either make or mar you. The stranger’s mindset is that of letting go things that don’t complement your destiny or represent your royal dignity.
The world we leave in happens not to be our own, and we all happen to be passersby on the surface of the earth. It is quite expedient that you understand the true value of yourself, so that you learn to let go of things that mess up your life, and focus on the source of strength.

NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER
It is always a common temptation to pass judgment based on surface knowledge,the truth is that there is more to it,than what the eyes sees.One great truth i have stumbled upon,is the fact that most interesting books,don't necessarily have a good cover page,and those that may not be very interesting may have the best cover page.
It is important to distinguish the difference between the content of a book and its cover,so that we don't fall into the temptation of making fallacious conclusions based on insufficient knowledge.As i navigate the road of life i have come to discover the true character of a man.The true character of a man is not always what we see by the mere act of looking,without adequate concentration and evaluation.There is more to something or somebody than meets the eye.
