Difficulty in Simplicity

By -
Ever wondered why we most likely find it hard to obey the simplest of instructions?

I think it's because we magnify the simplest of things. That's why when the Bible says your sins are forgiven, we all find it hard to believe because we magnify simplification. It's as simple as it is.
When you stop magnifying simplifications, life will be more simpler and we will climb the ladder of success with ease.

Next time when God tells you to do something just do it, because in the actual sense obedience is simple if you don't find or create difficulty in simplicity.

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

What are you going to do for Someone else's Freedom?

I am skinny and I don't like cold. My lips quiver, my speech seizes, my nose shoots out mucus with every sneeze and I think my metabolism stops too, except my kidneys. It starts to produce urine like a liquor factory. The toilet must be within few paces away. Where there's no toilet, I can't handle myself when you put me in a cool room. My feet grow numb, I may have to postpone my presence at a meeting or a discussion to use the bath or the bush. I can cope with no fan or air conditioner all year long. Just give me a damn sweater and a wooly duvet, I'll be good for all seasons! But there is another type of cold I've grown used to. It's the place my unconventional ideas push me when I ever open my mouth. It's a damn cold feeling to be ostracised by people who once used to give you a warm hallelujah when you said something they agreed with. Now, no chants of acceptance, no chorus of praise, no little short speeches telling you how wonderful you are. You ar...

To be Successful, One must love Patience and Enjoy the Process

There has never been more pressure than it is now for young entrepreneurs to become millionaires. So because I post on Facebook daily, friends and family assume that I'm one multimillion dollar ultra successful entrepreneur (which I am anyways). The other day I was with my best friend and he asked me jokingly, "when will you marry?" My response was, "heck! At age 30 I should have travelled to at least 10 countries in the world and you're here talking of marriage", "who marriage epp?" We both laughed. What does this mean? Pressure! There's pressure to marry. Pressure to "hammer". Pressure to become a millionaire. Pressure to start "supporting" the family. Damn it! Pressure everywhere! So you see young people running here and there with the desire to "make it in life". Suddenly, a graphic designer somewhere in Rumuola feels he's a failure because he doesn't have up to 1M in his account. Everyone seems to...

Do not compare your Chapter 1 with Someone else's Chapter 20!

A lot of persons are at the verge of tearing themselves up, giving up and breaking into pieces because they think they're not progressing.. Just because the other person is ahead, goes to train others, earns cash and most importantly influences lives all over and he or she is been sort after doesn't mean you won't get there. It take time... Sure! Build Yourself. Develop Yourself. Someday you'll get there But,... Opportunity is a haughty goddess who waste no time with those who are unprepared. You've got to develop yourself. Develop your content! What differentiates Chapter 1 and Chapter 20 is the Contents . Are your Content engaging? The deeper one goes, the more engaging and interesting the book is but it's surely because of the contents not the Chapter. Grow! Develop! You'll get there someday. By: George Nimi Joseph

Know Your Calling, and Stay There

By -
Image
I wonder why people take the word "Calling" to be a religious word. Calling isn't a religious word. Just like Baptism. The problem is, when people get to find out the use of a word first in the Bible, they think it's a religious word. Calling is gotten from the greek word "vocatio" which means work, task, or vocation. Your calling is what you're meant to be doing for the rest of your life. It's a task, it's your life's assignment. It doesn't have to be religious. We can't all be pastors... just think about it. If we all become Pastors, who will produce the cars we drive? Who will be our structure engineers? Who will work for the tithe? Think about it.. If then, you say it's only ministerial activities that are callings, do you mean the others are joking or wasting their time, or they were never called? Understand this. As much as God is a Father and God to Christians, He is the creator, ruler and God over the universe. As much...

There are No Limits if You See No Limits

I have two sons. One of them loves food so much that he eats food even in advance. The other keeps his food and eats it slowly so that it lasts longer. I respect both of their choices. I love both of them. This morning (on the day this was written) as I gave one of them bread and he ate, I found him keep coming for more. But the only one 'serving' I gave to the other was still with him; being managed, so that it wouldn't finish on time. Both are my sons. Both are dearly loved by me. Both have their choices respected. Their choices do not make me love either of them less. ----- Stop accusing those that want more from God and more from life, of greed. Stop accusing them for desiring much. That one is contented with less does not make the one that wants more covetous. The Father is not complaining. He's got more than enough... By: Bimbola Tayo-Bamidele

20 Lessons from Life

The other day I watched a wild dog dart in front of my vehicle. I wasn't moving too fast and so was able to avoid it. But I wondered what would have befallen the poor dog, if it had crossed the path of another driver moving at a faster pace. Many live that way; running fast along the road of life, oblivious of danger or peril. There are many lessons life can teach us, if we would be observant. There are principles we can learn daily. Here are a few of mine: • Never toy with lives or treat serious matters with levity. There is a man King Solomon once described. He plays with fire and after he has burned the house down, he sputters, "But...I didn't mean it"! • Never take "Panadol" for another man's headache. Let adults figure out their own issues. It is patronizing to assume you know better. • Like the adage states, "When hunters learn to shoot without missing, birds learn to fly without perching." Adapt to changes in your relationships, espe...

Treat Him like a King

By -
Image
I love to talk about men. And the reason is very simple: • All men are unique. • They are our pride. • They are the beauty that we have as women. Most times, I tell my friends that when you treat your man like a King, he will worship you like a Queen. Never disrespect your man, he is the reason why people are calling you Madame. Stop looking down on him because you think he is already your husband, and so nothing can happen. Believe me, there are a lots of ladies out there who are willing to pay any amount just to have that same men you are insulting everyday. If you learn how to take good care of your husband he will always make you the envy of all. Don't be ashamed to try new things. A lady is a blessing to her husband, not trouble, pain and heartbreak. Make your husband your best friend. Your husband should be able to say, "Honey, I'm favoured because I have You as my wife". Your calls and presence should never remind him of how much a mistake he may have ...
