Growing up as a child was very exciting for me. I am sure it must have been a nightmare for my parents. As a child I was very mischievous. My sister used to call me an SMD (Short Man Devil). I hated being dared. Whatever you dare me to do I would just go ahead and do. I remember once a visitor gave me N10 (a crate of soft drink cost N5 then) and my sister dared me to flush it. Without hesitating I tore it into two and flushed it. Of course I got a good spanking afterwards but I just could not be dared. Continue reading LION AND THE LAMB!

In my last post I asked the question
This question raised another question
In other words
While I was pondering on these questions some answers came which I would like to share with you. Continue reading The Proof of Love… Have you ever attended a success seminar? If yes, I am sure you must heard conversations similar to that below:
Joggling many balls at the same time is demanding but very interesting because it pushes you beyond your limits (who set the limits by the way?). I was behind on some of my commitments so I decided to spend the night iat the office in a bid to catch up. As I banged on my keyboard and dragged and clicked on my mouse I listened to soul lifting gospel music from the likes of Darlene Zschech, Donald Lawrence, Byron Cage and Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. I was having such a wonderful time at my work when Power Holding Company of Nigeria decided to withhold power. It was at that point that it occurred to me that I was alone in the office. The whole place was dark. Continue reading EAR PLUGS… YOU NEED THEM!! I opened my outlook this morning to find four mails from a director in my office. A cold shiver ran down my spine. A hundred questions ran through my mind.
Don’t laugh at me. How would you feel if you logged into you mailbox early in the morning to find four mails from your Managing Director – the highest authority in your company – personally addressed to you? Continue reading IN WHOSE NAME? Hello Friends, Sorry for being absent for months. Taking on professional photography was actually much more than I bargained for. It simply left me with little or no time for anything else. During this period I started many articles which I never finished. I would share one of them with you if you promise not to laugh… You wouldn’t?! Okay then. Here goes… One virtue I have tried to imbibe in all my dealings is honesty. My personal policy is “If you don’t want people to know you did it then don”t do it. This policy makes me very deliberate in anything I do. As a result of this, I noticed that I find it very difficult tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Now do I need to explain further? Well you guessed right… I fell asleep. As a matter of fact I had to reduce the number of o’s.It actually filled one and one half pages. I hope I get to complete this post someday. For now I would like to blog on a topic I titled Scars of Gold. I hope it blesses your life. Enjoy… Continue reading SCARS OF GOLD I got converted in February 1999 and since then my sincere desire has been to do the will of The One who saved me. A couple of years after my new birth experience, I listened to a teaching on purpose… the unique reason for which I am on earth. It sparked off a strong desire to discover my purpose and fulfill my destiny. I spent several years seeking the face of God to reveal to me the reason why he placed me on earth. I read several books on the subject and listen to several teaching but all I was able to get from them was an anchor scripture and a shallow revelation into the depth of that scripture. It was quite frustrating. As I grew before the Lord, my thirst to discover what he wanted me to do became consuming. I took time out on several occasions to fast and pray about it. Each time I Continue reading THE WALK… THE CHASE!!! Hello friends, A very beautiful year to you!!! May you fulfill your goals and aspirations as you set your heart to achieve them and your hands to work them out. May the land yield its increase to you and may you find favour in relevant places. This is my prayer for you this year. Looking back at last year there are sooooooooooooo many things to thank God for. He granted me grace to achieve several feats which seemed like fantasies only seven years ago. He granted me journey mercies on my several trips. I cannot recall how many trips I made by air from Lagos to other parts of the country and I am still here. I covered several thousand kilometers by road, sometimes at neck breaking speed yet… I am still here. Got serious with photography only last year and I am already getting paid for my works. Met quality people who have influenced my life positively. These are just a few of the many things He did for me last year. There are many others too personal to mention on the world wide web. I would like you to take a few minutes to look back into your 2007 and identify those things that God did and the people he brought into your life… I am sure you would have a myriad of things to thank Him for. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and thank Him and go into 2008 with great confidence and a strong assurance that He is set to do greater things. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL YEAR!!! - Deji Olatunde Hello Friends, Let me start by thanking you all for your care and concern while my blog was down. Your calls, text messages and emails were really encouraging. My service providers experienced a hitch in their system which resulted in the loss of my data. However, thanks to Kayode Muyibi, I have been able to recover most of my articles through Googles cached webpages. I will begin reposting them very soon. In the mean time, we are doing everything possible to ensure that www.dejiolatunde.com is restored in greater glory. I would also use this opportunity to thank my friend and coach, Deolu Akinyemi, who has been very supportive in the recovery process. Deolu your friendship is invaluable. I am truly grateful. Alot has happened during this period of silence and there is a lot to share. My first article would be posted by Monday. I am sure you would benefit greatly from it. Why not make it a date with me on Monday, December 17, 2007? Looking forward to reading your comments. Deji Olatunde It was weekend again. All that was on my mind was submitting the documents to my client and leaving the towers. I had to catch the Virgin Nigeria 18.35 flight out of Abuja. I just hoped that Mercy would not have closed by the time I got upstairs. Mercy was not there when I got upstairs. She did not come to work that day! Fortunately, Ebun was there to receive the documents from me. After acknowledging receipt of the documents, I grabbed the acknowledgment copy and headed for the lift. Luckly, I did not have to wait for long before the lift came by. When the doors pulled open, I got in to find there was no one else in it apart from the lift operator. It was a quite ride all the way from the 6th floor till we reached the 2nd floor. The lift operator broke the silence when he greeted in a low, timid voice
Hi All, Hmmm… Where do I start from? I apologise for being Absent Without Leave. It’s been over 6 weeks now since I last posted anything. I’d like to thank all of you for visiting and dropping comments during my silence. It was really encouraging to know that even while I was away lives were still being blessed. A lot happened while I was away. I travelled to Abuja for my younger sister’s wedding on the 24th of May, then to Benin the next week for a friend’s wedding and then to Ondo the following week for yet another friend’s wedding. A couple of weeks later the NLC strike came along. It was a refreshing time for me. I stayed indoors and did a lot of meditation. Only last week, June 24th precisely, I cycled out of Club Freedom for the first time (the $6,000 was a life saver). I used part of the returns to buy accessories for my camera and invested the rest. For the first time in a very long while, I did not bother checking my account to see whether salaries had been paid. I am presently on traveller again waiting for my second cycle which should happen before the middle of July (God being on my side). Currently, I am preparing for my first wedding photography contract. It will be taking place on Saturday, July 7, 07 in Lagos. I am preparing hard and looking forward to it. Friends and colleagues all over have been sending me materials, counsel and tips on how to make it a great hit. One even sowed a seed towards the purchase of equipment. Thank you for your support and for believing in me. I will not disappoint you. Today, I would be sharing a personal Psalm which I wrote during my morning devotion while I was at home on holiday 9 years ago. I could not help but write down my amazement as I sat by the river bank behind our family house in Abuja. As I watched the sun rise, the clear river flow, the crows playing and the gentle breeze blowing I marvelled at the splendor of the creator. I hope this puts you in a right frame of mind to worship the creator. Enjoy!!! How can anyone say you do not exist? Hallo friends, I hope your week has been great. In this episode of Manna we will be looking at a powerful correction formula I have tagged Option Three. Find out what it’s all about. Enjoy! Deji Olatunde www.deji.shutterchance.com Hello Good People, By now you must visited www.dejiolatunde.com/photo. To you it may just be another photoblog but to me it is a nine year old dream come true. I’ll share it with you. Hello Friends, Its been a long while since we last touched base. I apologize for my long absence. While I was away I was able to set up my photoblog (www.deji.shutterchance.com). A link to this blog has been placed under my blogroll in the side bar (My Photoblog). I encourage you to visit from time to time to see how we doing, rate the pictures and drop your comments. I would be looking forward to reading from you. This week I will be sharing with you some financial lesson I learnt while waiting to take a haircut at the barber’s shop. They are simple, practical and true. I believe you have a lot to gain if you keep to them. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Regards, Deji Olatunde _____________________________________________________________ It was Sunday evening again. I had drawn up my plans and had begun preparing for the new week. All I needed was a hair cut and I would be set to go. I grabbed my barbing set and strolled down to the barber’s shop just down the road. When I got there, two people were waiting to have their hair cut so I sat on the bench Continue reading The GOOD OLD DAYS!!!
February 8th, 2007 Hi Friends, I’m so sorry “Now I understand why… (2)” is not still out. I tried to write but it did not flow. Somehow, I believe this article was blocking it. This just had to come out first. The article you are about to read is timely and very relevant to you. It has the ability to preserve your life and protect you from unnecessary loss. As you go through it remember that the power is not in the reading but in the doing and not just doing but doing consistently. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Deji Olatunde. _____________________________________________________________________ Crime in the city of Lagos has been on the increase. Over the past month, I lost a friend to hoodlums who attacked her after her car broke down at a notorious spot in the city. Two others were shot at in traffic and another was thoroughly beaten and dispossessed of his valuables. But for the intervention of God he would have been killed. I am sure there are other incidents I’m not aware of. With all these happenings I sit back and wonder… With all the exceedingly great and precious promises outlined in the Bible about protection and preservation, how come all these wicked things are still happening? Continue reading ACTIVATE THE WORD! The first time I read Titus 2:11
My response was
However, I decided to take a second look in a bid to understand what this grace is all about. Today, I look back and thank God I took that second look because my discovery changed my life forever!!! I’d like to share it with you. Continue reading LIVE THE LIFE (1) Today is the first time I am going to make a post on my site. I am excited about it but also a bit nervous! Nervous, because I have not actively been involved in writing before now. But I’ll do my best and I know it will turn out well. I’ll leave you to judge and will appreciate your candid feedback. - Deji Olatunde |
