YOU WILL NEED THESE TWO BOXES AS YOU TRAVEL THIS YEAR.

There are two major boxes you will need as you journey through the next twelve months and through life. One is a treasure box and the other, a trash box.

Life and people will throw many things at you as you journey. Many of those things will be great treasures that you will need to guard jealously. Be sure to put them in your treasures box. They beautify your life and journey. As the treasures are coming, the trash will also be thrown at you, ranging from few to many depending on how high your travel. Most times, you can easily identify the trash, other times you need discernment to identify treasures that are covered in trash. Learn to identify each one and store them in appropriate boxes.

Do not get immersed in the trash thrown at you, for those who get themselves immersed in trash run the risk of being mistaken for trash themselves. Learn to handle the trash thrown at you without losing focus on your journey. The negative words, negative energy, toxicity, anger, hatred, condemnation, cutting remarks, disappointment, sinful desires are few examples of trash that must not take root in your heart.

Pay particular attention to those treasures that God will be sending your way and into your life this year. Those beautiful relationships, connections, opportunities, godly counsels, love, affection, sweet memories, financial blessing and capacity building systems, to name a few. Don't joke with them. Treasure them. They add colour to your life and make you a treasure to your world.

Above all, this year, don't trash what you should treasure and don't treasure what you should trash!

ARE YOU A RAW LADY?

To be raw means to be uncooked, unexamined, untrained, not having gone through the process of preparation or in a natural and untreated state. Certainly not one of the fanciest words to describe anyone.

In this season, if you desire to accomplish the goals you have set for yourself, you’ve got to be R.A.W. And here is our own definition;

Be: R- RADICAL- You must engage in radical pursuit of your vision. Radical prayers, radical giving, radical planning and execution of your goals, radical reading, radical spirituality and radical obedience. If you don't want to be ridiculed, then be radical!

Be: A- AUTHENTIC: No faking anything! No fake lifestyle. No faking spirituality! No fake relationship, no fake marriage, no fake living. If you want authentic lifting, then engage in authentic living.

Be: W- WISE: Wisdom is defined as the ability to make good judgments based on knowledge. On this journey, you will need the wisdom of God to navigate. The word of God is the ultimate source of wisdom, don’t despise it. And if you want to be wise, walk with the wise!

It doesn’t matter how raw you are, be determined to be a R.A.W LADY!

YOU WILL BE ATTRACTIVE AND UNATTRACTIVE

One of the ways to ascertain the favor of God on your life is that you will be attractive.

Yes, people will naturally find you and your life attractive. This kind of attractiveness is not a function of your beauty or handsomeness. It is not a function of your cosmetics or physique. It is an inexplicable radiance shining from within you. It creates an aura that attract people to you. You find people going above and beyond to help and bless you. This is such a blessing!

This same favor on your life could also make you unattractive. Are you surprised? You ask, how can the same favor that brings so much positive attraction make me unattractive? Well, that's how it works! Unfortunately, some people can't stand it. It infuriates them. It reminds them of their own mediocrity or misused opportunities. They interpret it as pride. They prefer you are in darkness or at least in a state that does not expose their own sorry state. When they see your light shining, they find you unattractive.

You must therefore be ready to be attractive and unattractive, attempting to please everyone so as to be attractive to all will require you to dim your light because some people can't withstand your shining.

Dear reader, as you journey into this year normalize being attractive and being unattractive. The two are fine.

A good friend of mine once said jokingly “not everyone will love, accept, celebrate or keep asking for more of you, after all you are not ‘jollof rice’ “. In the same vein, not everyone will hate, discourage, neglect or ignore you. Once you settle this in your heart, you will be fine and live your best life.

Don't forget, you will be attractive and unattractive. And it is okay!
