At this time of the year, many religious places of worship start fashioning out their themes for the new and coming year. You begin to hear phrases like this – “No Carry Over!” This is a familiar phrase with university students. Carry over means you failed a course in the previous semester and now you have to carry it over into another year. “No Carry Over”, used in the contest of approaching a new year then means ensuring that all troublesome issues, all scary events and all bad occurrences in your life this year, ought to be dealt with so that you do not have to carry any of them over. While I agree that that this concept is worth pursuing, what I find strange is how different people seek to pursue it, but that again is the topic of another day.
What I want to write about today is something I’m being inspired by God to do. It’s a tough exercise for me, and I’m tempted only to write this and never post it. In fact, I’m writing this on a notepad now. so if this gets to be made public, it’s because I was able to withstand the temptation not to just sit on it, and rationalize my way out of it.
I’m trying to do my books to close my finances for 2007, and I can see clearly that God has blessed me a great deal. Not only has he blessed me, he has also made me a source of blessing to a number of others, while some have also gotten to not like me so much this year as well. Guess the son of man is fulfilling his purpose – for the rise and fall of many. The only joy, is that there are more rises than falls, and the fact that I know that I’m on course, not as a mere individual, but as a sent man. In the course of this year, I have also been opportuned to loan people a lot of money, while I am not aware of the exact figure I am owed, I can at least account for N4.211 Million. Some of them were outrightly loaned, while one or so requested for me to buy something for them, collected it but have not paid. The interesting thing is that most of these people are not thinking that these should not be carried over into the next year 🙂
I am being led however to give back 50% of what they owe me back to them, and inform them all to ensure they split the balance 50% between the Little Saints Orphanage and the volounteer staff of Modupe Cole Home on my behalf before the end of January, 2008. For every month’s delay after January, your debt to both institutions increases by 2.5% every month, failure to comply leaves you in the hands of God, the father of the fatherless, and the husband of widows. All I require from you is a text message informing me that you have done this immediately you do it. This is my own little way of not carrying over any owed debts into the next year.
If I owe anybody any amount please alert me, so I can also pay before the end of this year, I also do not intend to carry over any debts. God has been good to me this year, and he promises great things for the year ahead. I believe you can say the same as well, if you really think about it. The only limitation to what can happen in your life next year, is you, you are the one empowered to set a limit on the possibilities in your life next year.
Happy New Year. Manifest!

Chairman,
Thank you for ur write ups,just got the priviledge to check out on ur sites and Bro, I AM BLESSED, Thank you, cos after reading dis piece I immediately paid thru Flash ME Cash, an embarrassing debt I owed some almost four years back, Though some others owe me more than 20,000% of the same sum,Thank you for helping me, so I can confidently say I am not owing anyone living or dead. Great job, God bless you.
hmm. It’s 2008-a new begining. Congrats! Deolu and every one in the house!
Finally saw you live @ Balmoral Hall 2day…God Bless Naija!
We all indeed must not carry over the ways we have being doing things.
As for debts the bible says “the burrower is a slave to the lender”.It is also commonsay that “He who goes aborrowing goes assorrowing”.The thing to do for debtors is to pray for them,and for The good Lord to reveal to them how make money work for them and break the cycle,bondage and embarrassment of indebtedness.
To achieve the above we must all change our old ways of doing things even if they have worked up untill now,Look for a better way.A new way of doing things is what resulted in the NEW HIGERIAN CLUB.
dont put a “t” after your can.
Remember the 6Ps- PROPER PRIOR PREPARATION PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE
Thia is a very kind gesture from you, you have just lent God those funds and trust me, He will surely payback.

Hi Deolu,
You have done well and the Lord bless you!
This piece of article will definitely spur some others up to do good…always.
Take care and enjoy God…without limit!
@ Deolu,
I sure owe many people no doubt and i am even yet to pay them back! i am however not unbothered by such debts!
i got to owe ALL due to my involvement in Clubfreedom in 2007 but really yet to be free right now!
through long term friendship and trust i was able to convince some of my friends to join my downline assuring ’em of sure returns on the invested sum!
however till now my assurances to them can only be real in my imaginations….. through my suggestions their hard earned money are tied down now! will it be forever? i really cant say!
however for the sake of integrity and friendship i have chosen to pay them back……one by one as soon as i can afford to do this?
Just pray i am able to do this as soon as possible!
DEOLU, i think you have a great heart, but to think you paid back ALL you owe will be a real child’s play…………… the nos of people that you influenced directly or indirectly to join CF, E cash and now NNC with FEW only bound to get the reward at the end of the day……………..
whatever success you had in 2007 and bound to have in 2008 can only be attributable to debts owed to GOD, YOUR PASSION AND AS MANY THAT BELIEVED{s} IN YOU AND WHAT YOU STAND FOR! the loosers are regreting their 2007 investments while the Winners are thanking GOD for a great year………………i guess that is the way life goes anyway! some winners, many more loosers with no eternal stability in the dynamics as it can swing in any direction! cheers to all

deolu, i am so inspired by this post. i don’t know whether to call this a post or better still, a letter. anyway, i am already paying people what i owe them and don’t plan to owe anything this year. thanks mr. chairman…..
yes o. no carry overs this year. no debt top anybody but gratitude that we were used as instruments of blessings to reach out to the lives of others.
