By -

The WORD Quotes today, is credited to Raphael Donanu.

The Quotes:

• If you want the devil to stay away from you, don't sound, act, or think like him. This is very practical.

• Sometimes to come out of some sins, all you need do is to break the hold of secrecy.

• God is bigger than the world he created. Remember this each time the world and her systems try to weigh you down.

• God expects us to use our heads because He is still the one working. He works through us both to will and to do.

• The gap between that much anticipated breakthrough and you might just be a single act of forgiveness. Forgive them all.

• Let your gospel bring results.

• Relationship with God is spiritual but it is very beautiful when you can make God function evidentially in your physical.

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions we had this year. The session was on Olajumoke Adenowo. ---------- (Diligent Amaka speaking) Olajumoke Olufunmilola Adenowo (born in 1968) is an award-winning Nigerian architect, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, as well as a speaker, radio host, and author.

Should an Employee seek to grow his passion?

By -
Image
This is a question that has generated a lot of conversation and brought diverse responses. Should an employee seek to pursue his or her passion? When is the right time? How do I make time to pursue it and make it profitable? Questions like these have lingered in the hearts of employees. With the uncertainties at some work place, the satisfaction derived from your heart's call and the fear of regret at the twilight of life. These and many more have pushed many out of their comfort zone to run their dreams and same time, the demands have made much more cower and stay in their comfort zone, drained of life - dying daily. Am I saying you quit your job to chase your passion? Of course not a decision to be made in the spur of the moment. You just must start small and take little steps towards them. I don't want to use my experience to explain this but let me share a friend's. I met him at a wedding over three years ago, we were groomsmen to our mutual friend and from the...

While We Wait, We Sing On...

By -
Image
Suddenly it all became warm, The warmth you experience when a friend walks in and sits beside you Then it all got brighter, everywhere illuminated Then there was melody, uncommon rhythm... Then unconventional lyrics... The song won't stop playing... It keeps flowing... It's source is deep... Tears flowed with the melody as the eyes couldn't help but express what the heart felt... Chills, goose bumps... Could there be a deeper feeling? Could there be a better place to be? Could there be a better feeling of security?... Awe, reverence, love, sweetness... Beauty... Purity... Tho the present senses are limited, Vocabulary, inadequate to express the feeling of Reality Yet we do know that someday we would see that Friend who walked in and sat beside... We, not Him will be changed... We would be just like Him... We would behold Him and our pupils won't be destroyed by His All-Light personality because we would be All Light too... And the melody we would sing ...

Suffering and Your Life

By -
Image
Many people expect life to be easy. Even as a Christian, there is no crown without a cross. Many people wish they can just wish suffering away, deny it exists or drink it away. Suffering is how the spirit of man grows, how it learns to discipline itself from the incessant demands of the wayward flesh. Suffering people are growing people. But does that mean we should desire suffering? No, we should not desire suffering but neither should we resist it. Because what we resist persists. We should not try to hide from suffering. Like a bully, we stand up to it, pull it in the beard and find out that it was just an attachment meant to scare us. Suffering is not bad in itself and will only cease when you have learned your lesson from it. Adversity is the road map to prosperity just as failure is the step stones to Success. Shakespeare wrote "Sweet are the uses of adversity, which like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a pre-jewel in its head." If you want to increase y...

Casting Aside Expectations

By -
Image
Our generation has been termed to be the most open minded in the history of human race. That's partly true, as our generation is extremely diverse, and with that diversity many ways of thinking appear. We find that the ideas older generation consider private are openly discussed by our generation and likes of such attitude and approach towards life. This new behaviour and idea of diversity has exposed a lot of us to accepting new ideas – which is not a bad thing in itself. However, it becomes a problem when we start allowing the ideologies, beliefs, and expectations of others define how we live our life. The lack of a strong personal conviction or ideology has left many to seek validation or acceptance from external parties, letting the acts and words of others guide how they live their lives. To be the best you, you need to know how to break away from letting others tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. If what they’re asking of you or exemplifying doesn’t fit into your plan...

Why do People think that Introverts are Rude or Arrogant?

By -
Image
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close fr...

If You can love wholly, love wholly

By -

It's easy, too easy, to mouth off the long list of things we'd never do for a partner or while in a relationship. To drop wisecracks at the expense of those who make lifestyle changes when they get married. Here's why; Today's idea of relationships is a far-cry from what "being in love" is. This power tussle where each partner is striving to be the one who loves less. The one who walks away with more blood on their hands. Where everyone wants to score points for their teams. Being in love is a completely different ball game. It's you and this person trapped in a bubble of happiness which you don't want to break out from. You'd do silly things to keep them looking at you a certain way; say corny stuff to make their eyes light up; drop certain habits because you can't stand the friction they create between you two. A bad breakup may be the only thing capable of tainting the memory of how natural it felt to do these things and how happy they m...

To Parents and Would-be Parents

By -

I understand that watching your child grow might seem cute initially, but then, it gets kinda complicated. Your little boy begins to sit, stand, walk, now he is bouncing, flinging car keys... Your girl runs to You when she sees You returning from work, shouting "Daddy", then to her just saying "Welcome", and then to making long calls with someone else, giggling so happily.. Soon enough, You will hear one dude saying he has seen a flower to be plucked... Your girl is leaving... At a point in time, our kids will grow or have grown. Can we trust in the work we are doing now or in the work we have done already to see them through life? Can we respect their choices and allow them be and show what we have put in them? The funny thing is that some parents hardly recognise the good in their kids. They just need to find a fault. A grown ass young son is a minister in a Church; a Parent faults him simply because it's not their own Church, or for some other reasons. H...

Self Righteousness

We're all guilty of it. Most times, the degree in which we manifest it only varies. An unsubmissive wife feels she's better than her unloving husband. God understands. An unloving husband feels he's better than his unsubmissive wife. God understands. The pulpit minister feels he's more into God and the ministry than the marketplace minister. The marketplace minister considers himself more honourable than the pulpit minister. She that wears trousers or uses jewelries feels she's a more enlightened Christian. She that does not considers herself more spiritual. "Well, I'm not saying I'm perfect, but some people are just impossible..." we would say. We're not perfect but would sit in judgement over another who isn't, too... Because our imperfection is of a different kind, we feel justified and fit to be the judge of another... We're so quick to talk about what that pastor said, what that leader did, what that politician said, and wha...
