Extremes of Christianity to avoid

By -

• Carnalism –

It doesn't matter how you look like on the outside. What matters is that Christ has declared you saved and you're now the righteousness of God by Christ Jesus. So don't let those "holier than thou" people make you feel like a sinner because you still have some swag and they don't...
Please enjoy Grace and don't follow those people that burden you with laws to obey... Christ has set you free, so please be free.

• Legalism –

How can you tell me that it doesn't matter how you look like on the outside?. How can I call myself a Christian and still dress and talk like the people of this world? C'mon na, light must differentiate itself from darkness even on the outside...
Please, being under Grace doesn't mean we are free to do as we like. Me, I'll place extreme boundaries on myself so what I believe on the inside would always be seen on my outside.

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

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

IPad, Android Phones Versus Bible

By -
Image
Yesterday (on the day this was written), I watched Pastor Chris Oyakilome live as he preached. He used his iPad to read out scriptures. Later in the day, I saw a post on Instagram, and one guy like that insulted Pastor Chris for using iPad, instead of his Bible. I laughed at the man's ignorance. I remember an Uncle of mine was invited to a Church. He went there with his iPad, and someone asked him: "Sir, where is your Bible?” He showed him his 10.1 inches Pad. “But Sir,” he said, “This is not a Bible, this is iPad, you need to carry your Bible. You're not a good preacher, if you don't preach with your Bible," one of the pastors said. Now this is my point: Before the advent of printing press, the scriptures were originally written on a scroll! The ten commandments were written on a stone! Not on a Book called “Holy Book”. If the Book where the Bible was printed on becomes Holy Book, then my android phone is “Holy Android” because God’s word is inside it. Than

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

The Best Way to really Prepare for the Future is to live Today Well

By -

David didn't know he was going to be the king of Israel until Samuel showed up and anointed him. Nobody drummed it into his ears to discover or find his purpose. He simply loved and lived for God, obeying and serving Jesse his father and polishing his skills – playing the harp and slinging. Today, we call these things skills, but I don't think David saw them like that. He probably learnt how to sling stones as a way of protecting his sheep from the lions and the bears. He played the harp as a way of entertaining himself and his fellow shepherds while they were at the bush. He wasn't doing any of these for the palace because he didn't know he would ever be there, but he did them well. He simply made the most of his situations. He didn't let the anticipation of what tomorrow could bring deny him the joy and glory of really living today. Yet, God had His eyes on him and when the right time came, He, God, began to move men and materials in his favor. So, I'll enjo

Geek Charming (2011)

By -

Another cool movie to talk about. It's based on the novel by Robin Palmer. Geek Charming stars Sarah Hyland (Dylan Schoenfield), Matt Prokop (Josh Rosen), Sasha Pieterse (Amy Loubalu), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Some things I learnt from the movie: • Challenging Yourself to something different and new, can teach you more and help bring out some uniqueness in You. Josh's movie on a human subject (Dylan) was a big challenge to execute. Most of the other persons involved in the Puget sound film festival, picked a non human subject. As an aspiring film maker, one of a very young age, a documentary on a human subject was something so big and rare, and very challenging. Josh picked up the challenge, one which didn't just help him win the festival, but also helped him discover the real personality of Dylan; how her mum meant so much to her and how the loss of her mum when she was eight years old had affected her and shaped her social life. Josh wasn

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

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

Be Ready before You Commit

By -

Many people are in relationships, pairing with someone for different reasons, quite obviously and commonly is that "some" people do for their own sexual gratification. Some do for the attention they can get; perhaps, their supposed pair is someone with class or high social background. Some do too for recognition. Some do for some bucks. While a whole lot of others who are not in these other categories are probably because they are bored and tired of being alone. Relationship(s) is not all about a game of give and take, it is so much than that. By far, it is much more than commitment so just before you start getting over your head about one, make sure you are truly ready to be in one. A mind that is unstable, a heart that have not had a good time to heal properly is bound to stumble or get stuck in a rebound relationship. By that "Rebound", I mean, finding someone to fill the space for the moment to avoid being alone and not because you really do care, "well m
