Food For Thought

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ®She wasn't your wife, you had sex with her, she became pregnant, you made her abort. Illegal relationship + murder, committed by you alone and you are boasting ..... "I've conquered that babe"... #Repent ®He is not your husband, you are having/had sex with him, collecting money from him and you think you are a sharp girl. You are an armed robber, robbing people with your body. #Repent  ®She's not properly dressed, instead of you to preach to her, you are shouting "WOW!!! you look sexy.... Brother u are part of the problem. #Repent ®A preacher said "if you know what I know, you'll laugh less and cry more" does that ring a bell in our head? Do we have to see before we believe? #Repent ® I want to have money, I want to marry a beautiful wife, I want to marry a handsome guy, I  want to buy a nice car, I want to build a big house, is that all we think about? We will all die & leave all these. Vanity. #Repent ® You think regret i...

Staying In Your Lane; Be Focus

In the field of specialization, Every person has an area he/she was trained. In career specialization, for example in the medical field some people are trained as neurosurgeon, optician, dentist, cardiologist etc. If you are trained as a professional dentist, you can not just because you are a pro in your area say that you can function as a optician without having or going for a formal training for it. You can actually try but you can't do it like a professional in that area and eventually kill the patient. People that move from one area of specialization to another without remaining focus in one area/field are termed and classified as "Jacks of all trades and Master of none." And this has cause more harm than good in the world today. In life, staying in your lane (area of specialization) improves your creatively, professional skills and talents. Don't be a carbon copy of people's lifestyles. Always try to be you, Because the real you is better and is the best. Do...

The World as I See It

        According to Wikipedia, The  World  is the planet Earth and all Life upon it, including human civilization. In a philosophical context, "The world" is the whole of the physical universe or an ontological world. The  World  existed before you and I were born. My view and the way I see the world is different from the way you see it, But what makes the world interesting is our individual view of it. Please feel free to write your own view of the world at the comment box for learning purposes. But now let's read my own view of the world. The World is filled with mysteries, some solved, some you can't fathom and some remain completely unknown. But then, there comes a time when the unknown becomes known and the known becomes unknown or facts. The world is a small global village where people of all races, ethnicity, religion, culture and tradition live together in peace, harmony, conflict and war. The world is a place where you meet people with d...

I did And then another message popped up- Please enter your pin code I did And then another message came ...select the amount, I did that too After I had done all this...the ATM showed me a message in BOLD letters YOUR TRANSACTION IS BEING PROCESSED, PLEASE WAIT ! Allow me to say..when you have done all the things you can, you have prayed, you have fasted, you have even asked others to pray with you and for you but it seems as if nothing is happening in your life, wait patiently don't give up, don't move because your request is being processed. WAIT! Let me tell you ..What made me wait is because my card was already in the ATM, I had already entered my pin code. If I give up now and walk away..Lord have Mercy... The next person will get all that I had requested. Not because your messages aren't heard, not ...

Leadership is not all about Power, Influence and Fame

JESUS LEADERSHIP WAS NOT CENTERED ON HIMSELF BUT ON HE WHO SEND HIM TO EARTH AND ON THOSE WHOM HE CAME TO SAVE N SERVE. He was servant leader but now an exalted and enthroned LORD and KING of all. Good day Jesus people! Leadership is currently attracting global attention especially in church. A leader is a person who knows and shows the way for others to follow. Its hard to find a true leader. We need leaders in our churches and in our nation who are after serving and getting the job done, who are focus on touching the down trodden and getting them lifted. Such leaders understands the peoples need because they feel it. They strive to ensure the suffering relieved, hopeless given hope and lost humanity rescued and giving an assured confidence for a brighter future! We need a God raised and sent leader not a self raised and sent one. We need one who understands the times: the spiritual and cultural trends and their balance in the society. We need a leader with the wiring of the sons of I...

Why Men are called "Groom" and the women "Bride" on Wedding days?...

Why is the newly wedded man called groom and the woman called bride? A friend of mine got tired of his wife just about six months after wedding. He complained bitterly to me about her and told me that he has concluded to break up with her; he went on to say that he was sure that he made a mistake. I did not respond immediately because I knew I must tell him the right thing, so I went home.  And that is  what give birth to this message. Many men have broken up with their wives because they end up not being the wife that they have dreamt of. But they have forgotten that on their wedding day was when the man was commissioned for the new task. Nobody calls the woman wife on her wedding day but bride,because it is the man that will groom his bride to become the wife. That is why the man is called ‘bridegroom or groom’ and the word grooming has to do with patiently nurturing, teaching, tending and helping someone to become what he or she should be. It is therefore believed that a ma...
