Start off by making Your bed

By -

If You wanna change the world,
Start off by making Your bed.

If You make Your bed every morning,
You will have accomplished the first task of the day.

It will give You a small sense of pride, and will encourage You to do another task, and another, and another.

By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.

Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter.
If You can't do the little things right, You'll never be able to do the big things right.

If, by chance, You have a miserable day, You will come home to a bed that is made. That You made.
And a made bed gives You encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

(from a Video: University of Texas at Austin 2014 Commencement Address – Admiral William H. McRaven)

Grace and Favour are not a license for laziness and mediocrity

So, how do I start this post? Emmm... Okay, let me lay a foundation. First and foremost, my God is a Great God. Secondly, He is not a lazy God, and; Thirdly, He is thoughtful. He thinks things through, starting what He has already finished and finishing what He starts. I write this post this day to address no body else but my brothers and sisters in Christ. Yes, it's you I want to address - brothers, sisters, daddies and mummies, workers, pastors and members.. This one is for you.. I have read through and through the Bible, and no where have I seen God prescribe Grace without Labour. No where. Yes the Bible say in Isaiah 1:9 - "If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land " and in Philippians 4:19 - "my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory". But same Bible also says in Proverbs 6: 10-11 - "a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands... so shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth&q

Nothing Good Comes Easy (Dr. Nosa's Success Story)

This is an inspiring Success Story by Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa, a Medical Doctor and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa ----- After rounding up my Secondary School education, and losing my Dad to the cold hands of death in 2009; I decided to fend for myself, and complement the support I was getting from my wonderful siblings. I had to do this because I don't like depending on anyone wholly, plus the fact that finance was limited and things were not all rossy. So I started off as a phone technician at Third junction in Benin. It wasn't easy for me as I was a bit too young and innocent to hussle in such kind of environment. I faced a lot of reproach, rejections and oppressions. I can remember a day I was beaten up at my work place, by some cultists for not fixing their phones to their specification. I also faced a lot of disappointments even among my loved ones. Well, that's all history. I endured all and passed

Your Village People that won't allow You to Succeed

Your Village people won't allow you to succeed in 2018. The only reason you didn't achieve some of your goals last year was because your VILLAGE people are hardworking! They are the ones holding you back! The people in your village are working against you, they've created a culture that is influencing the way you function. The funny thing is, you are giving them the permission to. Don't you know that no one or nothing can influence you until you give them(it) the permission to? What pricks me is that you have been aware of these for a very long time and you still give it the permission to influence you. What if I tell you I know these village people of yours? O yes! I know them! They are your BELIEF SYSTEM, YOUR EXPERIENCE, HABITS AND YOUR MINDSET! Whoever or whatever controls your mindset controls you and in this situation what controls you are your SELF LIMITING BELIEFS AND YOUR SELF LIMITING EXPERIENCE! You function based on your self limiting beliefs, habit

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -

This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s

Men are same, wicked and heartless

By -

Hi Lady, the problem isn't that all men are same, wicked and heartless. I think the problem lies in Your :- 1. Indecision to define your kind of man, probably due to self deceit and focus on what you will get (misplaced focus); 2. Faulty mindset: It's so baffling how people castigate their future and still expect the best out of it. If you've been brain washed by that your friend with failed relationship(s) that never told you her own bad side of the story, why not stay off the way? 3. Insensitivity to clearly identify him from the first day. One question no woman has been able to answer me till date is: What exactly do you consider before approving and entrusting your heart to a man? His appearance, six packs, money? The truth is that most times, the focus is always on what you'll get and at such, many become so blinded by the good treat and the gifts, "the Lannisters' gifts" ('Game of Thrones' fans should relate). These are actually your doo

You do not need to invite the Holy Spirit

By -

I and a friend discussed about this today, and he disagreed wholly, until I showed him the Word. I once used to pray like this whenever we were to go into an 'anointing service.' “We invite the Holy Spirit into this place.” “The Holy Spirit really showed up this morning!” If you have been a Christian for any amount of time, you have no doubt heard these expressions. In fact, you have probably said at least one of them yourself. I know I have! Many believers today often open up church services or worship meetings with prayers like “come, Holy Spirit!” Yet I suspect these prayers may not need to be prayed. Indeed, they may actually cause more harm than good. Allow me to explain. As a Christian, I believe that any person who puts their faith (active trust) in Jesus is given the Holy Spirit. He is described in the Bible as a “seal” we have been given (2 Corinthians 1:22), and as a promised gift from God (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:45). Throughout the New Testament, ever after God

Every hour, every minute, every second, counts!

When it comes to achieving your goals and dreams, everyday is an important day. Every hour, every minute, every second counts. Once you make a decision to pursue your dream, you must alter your attitude; change the way you do things. You cannot continue to do the same old things same way and expect to get to your goal. Everyday, ask yourself: "Is what I am doing pushing me closer to my dream?" If no, then you should begin to shift your focus to something that will lead you inch by inch to that dream you seek to achieve! You can do it. I BELIEVE IN YOU! By: Fortune Kendra

Create healthy boundaries and adventure into your own Soul

By -
Image
Sometimes, You just have to be strong enough to say goodbye to toxic relationships. This is the best way to save yourself and to best utilise the limited time you have to live on earth. Unfortunately, toxicity can come from family and very close friends. The question you need to ask yourself is if you want to live your own life on your own terms. Do you really believe in yourself? Do you really want to live your life to its fullest and truest potential? Do you want to be happy and fulfilled? The truth is that most people don't know who you are and therefore they will never see the greatness in you. In the end, they will come back to you once you demonstrate your capacity to flourish. For now, they want to keep you safe from harm. Break those chains of limitations and soar as high as your dreams will take you. Create healthy boundaries and adventure into your own soul. The world has been waiting for you. By: Uchenna Ilo

Start with Self Love

By -
Image
First and foremost, how do you love others when you do not love yourself? You will always spill your hate or love for yourself into the way you treat others ultimately. Kid yourself not! Secondly, how do you expect others to love you when you barely love yourself? You hate your height, you want her to love you for it? Or is it after you hate your height, you then want to love a person with same height? You must be confused! You hate your size, and you want him to love you like that? You hate your looks, YOU HATE YOU, BUT YOU WANT ME TO LOVE YOU? How am I going to pull that off? I CAN ACTUALLY TRY, but truth is, the love you have for yourself or your hate of yourself is contagious. Like flu, it is soon passed on to those around you. When you do not like yourself, you will always have issues with people who love you, or people who love you will always have issues with you, you will either scare them off or they will scare you off. ----- Look at this: John : Jane, you look beautiful
