🔁 Abutu Richard ReCircled: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF NIGERIA?
“When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.” These words were frequently used by the late Dr. Myles Munroe — a man who lived his best life serving humanity. He was big on purpose and believed that everything exists for a reason. Recently, I’ve been thinking deeply about this subject. Dr. Myles’ words came to me like a revelation. I realized that I have abused a number of things in life — time, money, silence, thoughts, words, people, even my own self — all beca...

JESUS CHRIST DIDN'T VISIT POOR PEOPLE
While reading 1st Thessalonians 2, I was inspired by the life of Apostle Paul.

Is it not of course you?" And verse 19 makes it more...
I WILL OUTLIVE MY DOUBTS

I AND DAVID
I AND DAVID The movie: House of David reminds me about the Davids in my life. Some of the best people in my life are either named David or bear David as a surname. Coincidence? My father’s name is David Abutu. Among many things, he is an inspiration and a mentor. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without his guidance and leadership. Always present, always willing to assist—regardless of the moment. I may never have become a poet if he hadn’t taught me the first poem I ever learned. As...
STARS DON'T WALK ON SANDS
Stars Don't Walk on Sands Stars don't walk on sands, they roam in the skies. They love freedom; they aren't trapped in clay. Sometimes, they pretend to be human, but only for a while. Sooner than soon, they release their wings, follow the wind, and rest in the celestial. Somewhere here, a mother weeps, a father mourns, a child departs. She was tender, a young leaf falling from a branch. Leaves are beautiful, but some beauty fades, like a candle in the wind. I see this beauty fade softly into ...
