Foreword: Joe-Jesmiel Ogbe

No of Pages: 96

Review: Seun Alade

A first look at the title of the book may give you an impression that here comes another blasphemous book probably to tell us of a god that controls the academic world, but a journey through this God-inspired book will make you dispel such a thought within seconds.
A book written out of a clear understanding and revelation of Psalm 82:6 that “ye are gods” as not only a reference of your ‘godship’ to Pharaoh or problems as Moses was, but that you are also an ‘academic god’, i.e., a god over academics.

Though a debut, the author was able to talk extensively on the topic of academics as it affects the children of God with such dexterity a John Maxwell will handle leadership or a Robert Kiyosaki will handle finance.

A first-class graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife where he graduated as the overall best graduating student in both his department (Microbiology) and the faculty of Science and a teacher of the word in the Redeemed Christian Fellowship, OAU, Adeyemi Adeleye was able to share a lot of the insights he has that made him the winner of the Young Disciples International’s Academic Excellence Award four consecutive times while in school.

This six-chapter book takes you on a journey through a sphere, the academic, where believers are yet to experience their God-given unquestionable enthronement while also equipping them with the wherewithal to ascend their rightful throne in their academics.

While Chapter One tells you the ‘truth’ as God promises, Chapter Two helps you discover and dispel the dullard mentality which may be the reason why many are performing below God’s expectation. The third Chapter takes you to the mirror to ask yourself, ‘who are you?’ This is because until you discover yourself you cannot recover (from your failures). Chapter Four takes you on a ‘mission with a vision’ while ‘on the mission’ in Chapter Five, the author makes you aware of how to run the race and the last chapter, six tells you ‘the place of God’ in your academics.

A fast page-turner undoubtedly, it is an illumination on the area of academics, a journey

to self-realization and dream-actualization sure to be a lovely companion for anyone desirous of

the much needed positive change in the academic sphere.

Fully loaded with experience of great men like Albert Einstein, Ben Carson, and the author’s, and well juxtaposed with the word of God, the book is a best-seller.

11 LOVE Lessons

1.To My Friends Who Are...........SINGLE...Love is like a butterfly . The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it. Love can make you happy but often it hurts, but love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it. So take your time and choose the best.


2.To My Friends Who Are............NOT SO SINGLE...Love isn't about becoming somebody else's "perfect person." It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.


3.To My Friends Who Are............PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE...Never say "I love you" if you don't care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't there. Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart. Never look in the eye when all you do is lie. The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall and it works both ways...


4.To My Friends Who Are............MARRIED...Love is not about "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry." Not "where are you", but "I'm right here." Not "how could you", but "I understand." Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are."


5.To My Friends Who Are............ENGAGED...The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how good you are for each other.


6.To My Friends Who Are............HEARTBROKEN...Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive> heartbreaks but to learn from them.


7.To My Friends Who Are............NAIVE...How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble, be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, and get hurt but never keep the pain.


8.To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE...It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.


9.To My Friends Who Are............AFRAID TO CONFESS...Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.


10.To My Friends Who Are............STILL HOLDING ON...A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If he isn't worth it now he's not going to be worth it a year or 10 years fromnow. Let go.....


11.TO ALL MY FRIENDS.......My wish for you is a man/women whose love is honest, strong, mature, never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding and unselfish.
