because you made me finish.

Acknowledgement

I would never have written this book if it was not inspired by the Holy Spirit.

I may not have had these colourful backstories without my spouse and best friend, Ejiro Etubiebi.

And, I may not have blossomed in insights without the teachings of my Pastors; Pastor Uyi Idugboe, and my teacher Rev. Chris Oyakhilome.

Therefore, I am grateful to them and everyone else who contributed to the existence of this book.  Thank you.

FOREWORD

This is the most insightful and apt thought penned down on this subject.

I am personally very intrigued by the content of the book. The writer has taken time to ensure that her thoughts are rightly communicated to everyone who reads this.

If truly the grace of God that has been made available in Christ has made you lazy and unproductive, then you need to read this book for a mental reset.

If you do not know whether you are lazy or diligent, then this book is a great guide.

And, if you think you are not lazy, then you need to read this book to understand why the results you desire are not yet before you.

This book is a must read for every Christian, and for anyone who is visionary and for anyone who wants to lead a great life.

Thank you, Sandra, for making sure that billions of people around the world will come to realize that they should take advantage of what God has given them and not turn that advantage into a reproach.

My Underlying Thoughts – An Introduction

Many say we are in the jet age (call it electronic, information or digital); everything runs on fast forward, fast lanes, fast foods, and on-demand services. They say it like it's a bad thing. We commute with speeds our fore fathers would envy. Our cars are pimped for turbo takeoffs and quick maneuvers. The stomach walls enjoy relishes without sweaty labours in hot smokes of firewood, kerosene stoves, and whatever else is old news! We get what we want when we want it and how we want it.
