God functions from You

By -

That Altar in your Church built by men is not as sacred as You if you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in You!
You are holier than the altar.
The main altar is in me. So when I kneel at the Altar of our Church, I come with God’s presence. It is my presence as a Child of God that even makes that place a sacred place!

So, when I wish to kneel at the Altar and pray, it means I just want to separate myself from the crowd for a while and pray!
I love the idea of Chapels in big churches. For me, it's a quiet place where you can run from distraction and concentrate on God but it is not another special place where another kind of God’s power is made available.

If the Spirit of God isn’t in You, you are wasting your time at that altar. If you don’t have a personal relationship with God, I wonder who you are talking to at that altar!
God functions from you and not from the altar, podium or stage in our Churches.

What Jealousy (and envy) points out about You

By -
Image
We must all know what Jealousy is. I doubt there's anyone who hasn't had that feeling in his or her entire life. When this feeling is recognized and is under the control of the individual, it's more preferable, to having this feeling control one. As I'll always say, everything can be viewed from the two sides of a coin, the positive and the negative side. One's ability to blend in both sides and turn both into one's advantage is Great! What important stuffs does jealousy point out about a person? If you always find yourself being jealous of other persons successes, or you tend to always feel less of yourself whenever you see or hear about the success of a friend, colleague, any other person; or you seem to put on a sort of unhealthy personal pressure that tends to want to make you surpass the success of another person whose achievement, you may be jealous (and envious) about... then you've got to check out yourself. If you've got dreams, goals, a vis...

Be a Strong Lady!

By -
Image
It is important if you want to be a strong woman who is respected by the man in her life, that you keep yourself busy. By busy, I mean in school or working on your career. I’m not referring to hanging out on the corner with your friends all day. I’m not referring to going to a club every other night. Nothing turns a man on, more than a woman with a life of her own - a woman who has goals and dreams; a woman with a nice career. Don’t you like a man with these attributes? Men like it even more!! Go get a Life!! Credit: Eze Victor Obinna

Real Faith is Concrete and Evidential

By -
Image
Our faith as Christians is not misguided or misdirected, God did not ask us to have faith on something that does not work or that is nonexistent. Everything we believe God for already is and have been proven to be reproducible. People have believed for the same things you believe God for and have or are getting them continually. The problem is we and not the word of God. Do this anytime you feel your faith is tested. Walk randomly into your church and ask people randomly if they have ever believed God for what you are believing and have received. The results have always been and will continue. Our faith is not guess work, it is not uncertain, it is not speculation, it is not luck or chance. We believe God for what already is, have been and is been received continually by others. Real faith is concrete, it is evidential, tangible and reproducible anywhere. It works in all climes. By: Raphael Donanu

Let's check up Sickle Cell Anaemia

By -
Image
It was World Sickle Cell Day some hours ago (June 19), so I decided to do a piece on Sickle Cell Anaemia (a Sickle Cell Disease). Our Blood consists of four major distinct types of blood cells, one of which is the Red blood cells. These Red blood cells contains a protein, Haemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting Oxygen around the body. (Of course, we know we can't live without Oxygen!). This protein, Haemoglobin, in its normal form (Haemoglobin A), enables the Red blood cells have a normal shape (disc shape), but when in a mutated form (Haemoglobin S), results in Red blood cells that are sickle-shaped. The normal disc-shaped Red blood cells are flexible and can easily move through small and large blood cells and around the body to supply oxygen to various body tissues and organs, but the sickle-shaped Red blood cells can't easily do this. They are rigid. Most times, they get stucked in the blood vessels and tend to block the vessels, preventing blood flow and oxygen...

Rhesus Factor and Compatibility

By -
Image
I came across the two write-ups I'll share here, about a month ago. I made some slight changes to them. Thumbs Up to the Writers. ----- Here's the First one: ***** Aside knowing your genotype before marriage, there's an important need for one to know her Rhesus factor! Rhesus factor incompatibility is a leading cause of miscarriage. It's not always one's village people or a spiritual something. Rhesus Factor is an antigen that exists on the surface of the Red blood cells in most people (about 85% of humans). It is also referred to as Rh Factor. People who have the Rh factor have “positive” (+) blood types, such as A+, O+ or B+. They are said to be Rhesus Factor positive (Rh+). Those who have the Rh “negative” (-) blood types, such as A–, O– or AB– are said to be Rhesus factor negative (Rh-). The “+” and “-” in front of the blood group is the Rhesus factor. Generally, we have A+, A–, B+, B–, AB+, AB–...

Accepting Vulnerability

Have you ever felt stuck and alone about a situation with regards to your life, career, finances, etcetera; and had absolutely no clue how to get out of it? If you have ever felt this way, or still do – you’re not alone on this journey and the answer is not as difficult as you might think. I have realized that one of the major challenges we face during this phase is not the unavailability of solution – but rather our inability to share our concerns with others. We need to understand that whenever we find ourselves in difficult or challenging situations – we don’t have to get through it alone and should be brave enough to ask for help. Personally, I grew up thinking I had to figure everything out as my upbringing exposed me to making decisions and doing things alone. This helped me in many ways, however, I later realized that it conditioned me to think I needed to know all the answers. I guess this was making me a perfectionist in a way – always wanting to figure things out by myse...

Word • Life • Men • God

Years ago, when I was still clawed by masturbation; I desperately needed help. The more I engaged in masturbation, the more I hated myself. But still, I couldn't get off the claws. I consulted several men of God who offered different solutions to my problem. One of the solutions a certain man of God offered got me off my butt. He said I would need to stop eating okra (ila). Of course, I believed him. Desperation makes you do anything, no matter how stupid it is. I thanked God my problem would end. Okra was one of my most-desired soups, but I had no choice. The man said I would stop masturbating if I strictly adhered to his so-called God-given instruction. I tried everything possible to avoid okra. No matter how much I desired and needed it, I still avoided it. For three years, my problem persisted. I masturbated even more. Still, I believed this man's lie, and still avoided okra, thinking Okra would mysteriously end my addiction. Even when I believed, and read the Word, I st...

It's better being neutral in certain situations

By -
Image
I came across this on my Facebook wall and felt it's worth sharing. It just reminded me of a number of incidents, both personal and non personal where one sides with his or her friend, with or without checking up who's right and wrong. It's better to be neutral most times and decide how to handle stuffs like this. Don't form loyalty when you know you're on the wrong side of the issue. Rather, try to get your friend to understand, and when he or she doesn't, stand your ground! You're a unique person and not the shadow of someone else's personality!

Change the Change

Counselling Session: ME: Your fiancée, Jane tells me you say she doesn't know how to laugh, is that true? HIM: Yes, it is. I have tried teaching her how to laugh like a real lady should, like her friend Janet, but have met with little progress. ME: Wawu... And emmm, She also tells me you think her walking step is awkward and needs improvement, is that correct? HIM: Yes, I have told her to look and learn how to walk like Janet her friend; more feminine and with more poise and style. ME: And you complain about her height too (I wonder what you want her to do about that) and her figure; and you think her eyes are too deep inside, like mine. Is that correct? HIM: Yes, I have asked her to put on some weight around her hips and loose some around her waist like Janet. ME: I see. Considering all these, the ones I have mentioned and the ones I didn't that you want to change about her, may I ask you a simple question, please? Do you love her? HIM: Of course I do, with all my hear...

I Pulled The trigger and Shot Him Twice

Yes, I murdered him in cold blood!! Then I looked back and saw him still walking, still following me, then I decided to rip him apart and buried him thinking he would stop following, but he never did. He got up from mother earth and kept moving at my back........ I was becoming uneasy and frightened, so I decided not to look back anymore.... He was still following me, but I never looked back!!!.... Then, I never saw him again....!!! ----- That's how the Past acts. It will always be there as long as you look back at it...... But when u begin to look straight at the future, You wouldn't have to border about it anymore. It vanishes without you even noticing. Eze Victor Obinna
