Graced!

By -

Grace is mostly defined or termed as unmerited favour.

We all have experienced God's grace, either directly (personally) or indirectly (testiomonies from other people).

No matter the way or how that experience of grace (unmerited favour) happened. ONE thing was evident; 'It could only be God'

When we are faced with challenges and your faith is dwindling, just remember that grace experience and be assured that if He did it before, He will do it again.

For His thought towards us are that of Good and not of evil to give us an expected end.
Be expentant because He is your father.

Believe!

EXAMS (A Success message)

By -
Image
Today, I was inspired to pen down this message. The atmosphere of exams could be a tensed one, but we've got to reminder that it's just a game that we are meant to Win. ----- Exams aren't determinants of your Success or Fulfillment in life, they are ONLY ONE of the many ways YOU EXPRESS THAT INNATE EXCELLENCE that is RIGHT IN YOU. They aren't what to fear, they aren't a source of fear to dominate or oppress your mind. They are just games, where You've got to be the Winner! If You're scared already before it even starts, then You're already losing the Game. You wanna win the Game? Kill the Fears! Kill the Self doubts! You know what the fear and doubt does to You? They only kill your time and suppress that Innate Excellence that is right in YOU. And You know that when your spirit is depressed, even what You are natural at becomes a stranger to You. If those before You did it, You can do it! If those who birth the knowledge You learn, acquire and is req...

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...

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.

ATF runs Camp Dawn...

What are you going to do for Someone else's Freedom?

I am skinny and I don't like cold. My lips quiver, my speech seizes, my nose shoots out mucus with every sneeze and I think my metabolism stops too, except my kidneys. It starts to produce urine like a liquor factory. The toilet must be within few paces away. Where there's no toilet, I can't handle myself when you put me in a cool room. My feet grow numb, I may have to postpone my presence at a meeting or a discussion to use the bath or the bush. I can cope with no fan or air conditioner all year long. Just give me a damn sweater and a wooly duvet, I'll be good for all seasons! But there is another type of cold I've grown used to. It's the place my unconventional ideas push me when I ever open my mouth. It's a damn cold feeling to be ostracised by people who once used to give you a warm hallelujah when you said something they agreed with. Now, no chants of acceptance, no chorus of praise, no little short speeches telling you how wonderful you are. You ar...

I am Over You

By -

Samuel was done playing games. He finally proposed. He knew she would say Yes. She would. She loved him too much. She had asked him severally, jokingly, when he would ask her out. She had turned down many suitors for his sake. She loved even the ground he walked on, but he just wasn't interested in her. He was actually but he wanted to sow his wild oats. He thought she was going to be around forever. Now he is ready. He is tired of the games and wanted to settle down. Her reply came like a gunshot.. You know that thing that goes skrrrrrrrrri, ehen, you don't know, the thing went skrrrrrrrrri laidat, "I am no longer interested in a Relationship with you, Sam. Truth be told, I have found somebody that loves me, and I love him too. I'm over you". The look on his face could have rivaled that of Medusa the gorgon. He never thought that could happen. He never expected that Jane would one day overcome her feelings for him. He had always ignored her, because she love...

Your Soul Knows Better

By -
Image
Some people will come into your life looking as if they are the real deal. Their attributes will tick all the right boxes in your checklist. Your relationship will start with such an intensity that you will believe they were sent from heaven. From this high tension love, your relationship immediately descends to the lows of depression, quarreling and anger. The fluctuations are more dizzying than roller-coaster rides. Gradually, they will begin to show their true colors and you will have to decide whether to leave or stay and try to fix them. If you don't open your inner eyes, you will fall into the oldest trap of the flesh. Your flesh desires them but your soul knows better. Remember all your sufferings and let the wisdom of pain be your guide. All that glitters is not gold and there is no substitute for inner peace. If you remain humble and kind, one day someone will appear from nowhere in the most unusual of circumstances when you least expect it to return all the love you lost ...

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...

What do you have in your hands?

Have you ever given someone a gift that they don’t care about or won’t use? You must think they are ungrateful, especially if it's a gift that's expensive and important to the service of others. Do you think God could "feel" the same way about the talents he has endowed you with? Do you think you could have been depriving someone out there the privilege of being blessed by your service to humanity? If you're culpable; you've probably ignored your talent — your God given gift to humanity. To ignore your talent, is to ignore God in your life and deprive many others the gift of God in you. He made us that way — He has equiped us for what we are suited for with a great calling to serve humanity. It is never too late to discover what talents you have and develop them. The development of your talent is too important to be left to chance. Invest time, energy, and money to fan your talent into raging flame that transforms the world. Play that piece, sing ...
