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...

This is one of the best shortest books I've read so far. It's so short (about 41 pages) that one could finish it within a couple of hours. But every page of it; almost every paragraph of it has an inspiring bomb! It's a book one could go through every morning if possible, or maybe at the beginning of the week. It's cool! Think like a Champion was written by America's 45th and current president, Donald Trump. Donald is a successful businessman and television personality, and he shares so much successful tips that's helpful to everyone who wants success and wants to stay successful. I'll share a little of what I learnt from this book. I want you to get this book, and have some mental fun with it, as well. • Never sell yourself short! No matter what, maintain your faith and believe in yourself and your abilities. Don't compromise to please others. If you're talented and passionate about something, make positive use of that talent and pa...

It is time to dump Virgin Ideas if You are to monetize your passion

By -
Image
Someone sent me a private message sometime ago and he narrated how he has been finding it difficult to monetize his ideas. He told me how it took him three years to finally come up with the idea. Striving for three years to conceive an idea was tough for him and now, he couldn't earn a dime from his idea. I was surprised and I had to ask him why it took him three years to come up with the idea. ''People are implementing every ideas that I had before that idea. And that idea was the only one I got that no one is doing it yet''. You see the mistake? People still believe that their ideas must be raw, untouched and Virgin for it to scale. People believe having Virgin ideas is what makes them unique. The truth is, discovering an idea to be Virgin is an indication that it's not marketable, neither can it be profitable. If no one is doing it, it may not be suited for our world. Dump that idea ASAP the moment you realize there's no market for it. The world h...

We are Members of One Body, NOT Independent Cells

By -
Image
Beloved, Christianity isn't a personal race as we are made to believe. It is rather a collective race with personal responsibilities. We are not the Cell of Christ but the Body of Christ. We must realize that whatever affects one part, affects the whole body. We must understand that all these talks such as "Leave everyone to their own beliefs. Let whatever you belief work for you. If I tithe, is it your business?" etcetera, are all revelations of a lack of synergy in the Faith. The Lord Jesus would have us grow up into him in all things. He would have his Church walk in Holy rhythmicity. He would have us understand that we are one united force before whom the World is to tremble. This individualistic mindset is actually folly and it's a huge debit on our eternal inheritance. We must begin to see ourselves, not as separate entities with placentas tied to the womb of the "Pauls and Apollos" of our times, but as one Holy body, under the command of one Lord...

The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

Today, I'll share few of what I learnt from this inspiring book by Norman Vincent Peale. It's an amazing and inspiring book, which I feel a lot of persons have read. But if you haven't, it's worth checking out. It's amazing to know that Peale's book is still inspiring lives long after written, and after he's gone (Peale died in 1993 at the age of 95 years). • Nothing is inherently powerful. But WE are powerful, and we can give strength and power to whatever we choose to give such to. One's mind gives strength and power to circumstances, things, situations. And the more one's mind focus on something, it gives greater strength and power to such thing. And when strength and power is given to something, that thing has some control and authority even over us, the giver of the power, and would exercise that authority until one recognizes it and decides to take away such authority. It's then left for us to decide what we should give greater strength a...

Towards Mental Exploits by David .O. Oyedepo

By -
Image
I read this book about four years ago, and it was a big turning point for me. Much was learnt, I'll share few of them today. You should check it out. The lessons: Death begins when one stops learning, and ageing starts from one's mind, not one's body. One remains young as far as he or she keeps learning; One starts crashing once he or she stops pushing. One's ability to excel mentally is paralyzed once one stops trying and accepts that the results obtained is the best he or she can attain; One's life becomes a burden when one's life is void of progress. And when one's brain isn't working towards anything, it becomes a weight on the body. The brain is motivated when it sees something ahead, something to work towards for; One's success does not demand prayer and fasting, as much as engaging one's senses positively.

You Do it because You are a Responsible Son

By -

Many of us are frustrated simply because we run our Christian race with an "entitlement mentality." Things happen, and we begin to ask "Why me?" and tell of how we don't deserve such. Our faith is not in God perse, but in how "much" we have done "for Him" or "sown" into "His work" and how "good" we are. Such thinking or mentality gets us nowhere with God, and gets us nothing from Him. Ask the the elder brother of the prodigal son... "Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which art devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine." – Luke 15: 29-31. Stop trying, struggling, working, striving, and labouring to make yourself deservi...

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...
