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!

The Love connection and Passion

By -
Image
What you deem as important may not be of relevance to someone else. What you call your life purpose, the next person may never have heard of it. True love is about sacrificing yourself sometimes and paying attention to what is important to your partner regardless of whether you like it or not. That's the only way to understand their deepest passion and innermost feelings. The love connection should be founded from passion and not from the outward expression. The root is what counts and the root is always growing inwards. Let your foundation be as deep as the oceans and let your love grow as high and solid as the mountains. Let the world be your peace.

The Betrayal – A Short Story

By -
Image
(Part 1) "I think my husband is cheating on me" Eukera informs her baby Sister. "How do you know, or did he confess this himself?" Esther asks as she returns to the sitting room with a tray containing fruits.. She always entertains her Sister this way. "I know it, I'm not a baby you know. I will find that lady who has the guts to go out with my husband, and when I do.. Oh Lord, Oh Jehovah, She will regret ever being born", Eukera answers as she bites into an apple she had just taken off the tray her sister had brought. "I will recommend you do not conclude based on just a hunch. If he is really cheating on you, we will find out one day. I personally will get him arrested and dealt with. As for the lady, let me not even say anything". "Hahahaha, I trust you, but that won't be necessary. I can handle this. Thanks Sis". Just then, Eukera's phone rings. It's a call from her office. She grabs another apple, hurriedly g...

Reasons Why it never worked out with Your Partner (by MG)

By -
Image
This is a combination of two posts written by Musa Gift (MG). The first is: Reasons S he left You / turned You down . The second is: Reasons H e broke up with You / never proposed . ----- Reasons She left You / turned You down So she just woke up and told you that it is over, or she said she can't go out with you, or be your "friend". But you have prayed and feel led to her, and she is stalling, or she just changed everything months or years into the relationship. You asked her for a reason and she said it is not you, it is her, and well, or that it is no longer working, or that you people are just not compatible. My brother, I know, sometimes these things happen like that idiopathically, but there are reasons, real reasons ladies break up with guys or reject proposals that they may not tell you – different reasons ranging from fear to the fact that they don't want to hurt your ego. So I have compiled a list, from what I have heard, read and per...

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...

Happiness and You (Dopamine)

By -
Image
Hi Reader! Hope you're doing good? I was checking up on happiness and how it relates to the body and brain, chemically. I found some interesting stuffs that I'll love to share. There are four chemical substances that are related to happiness in the body: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins (DOSE). There could be more than four but these four are major. My interest today is on Dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which influences "reward-motivated behavior " in relation to happiness. By reward-motivated behavior, it is responsible for the excitement one feels when there's a task to be done with a reward attached. This reward can be a goal to be attained or landmark to be set. It's just like something good is coming out from carrying out a task or action, or something new and exciting will be learnt or gained after undergoing an experience or completing a task. You know how good, happy and excited you feel in a situation like this? The brain rele...

Do not build your castle on anyone's talk

Don’t build your castle on anyone’s talk; or you build a castle in the air…. Talk is cheap and anyone can afford it... even a pauper. I read through a timeline here a while ago and I saw series of “I've missed you, where have you been?” posts. I smiled as I read through. In my mind, I asked, “Have you tried getting in touch with this person you claim to miss, beyond posting ‘I miss you’ on their Facebook timeline?’ It reminded me of lots of comments I have come across where people would ask a certain writer to go write their book, start a blog and begin a blog series, release their anthology etcetera, because they “…just write so well”. They tell a singer, “When will you release your album? I can’t wait!” Someone graduates and they begin to ask them with ‘concern’, "What are you still doing? Your mates are married! You must marry too; and make sure you invite me and my husband and the children." They ask you, “Ahn, Ahn, David does not have a y...

The need for marriage between the Physical, Spiritual and Mental

By -
Image
Free from what fought me mentally... I love this line by Kierra Sheard. Some of the battles we fight are not spiritual but mental. Even the devil knows that he has no access to your Spirit courtesy of salvation but still compensates himself in the mental realm. For one to operate fully at creations installed capacity, there is need for a marriage between the physical, spiritual and mental part of being. Knowing this, the devil is happy in causing a distortion in the flow and blending of these impulses. The greatest form of deliverance is not casting out a demon from a man, but loading him with knowledge. And you shall know the truth and it will make you free. I stand in my office and I decree freedom from every mental oppression, every force that prevents you from thinking at installed capacity, that prevents you from utilizing your mind to continue the process of creation, I command them to stop their activities in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. By: Raphael Donanu

Principle versus Formula

By -
Image
Productivity is better than Activity and Principle is better than formula. Principles will birth productivity whereas Formulas will only produce activity. For example, It is possible to sleep four hours a day and achieve significantly less than someone who sleeps eight hours a day, while claiming anybody that sleeps above four hours is lazy. When it comes to success, there might be principles but not formulas (I mean mindless copying). Some people just copy too much, not seeing that a lot of factors are involved. The most important thing is to learn the principles and tailor it to your unique situation. Make your work time count. I remember students back in school who claimed to be reading all night (and they were) but had little or nothing to show in their result and there were others who never went through that stress and made straight A's. It is good to look out for working formulas but it's more important to know what works for you and so you can manipulate the formula...

Sports this Week: Confederations Cup updates; Lionel Messi is getting married today..

The 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup is just less than 48 hours to be done with. It's been an interesting week with the two interesting semi final games played on Wednesday, June 28, and Thursday, June 29. After Portugal qualified as Group winners of Group A, they booked a semi final encounter with Chile, runners up of Group B, on Wednesday. It was the most interesting game of the cup so far, with the winner decided by penalties. Claudio Bravo, the Manchester City and Chilean goalkeeper and captain turned hero as he saved all three penalties, taken by Ricardo Quaresma, João Moutinho and Nani, while Chile scored all three of theirs. The other encounter between Group B winners, Germany and Group A runners up, Mexico ended in a convincing win for Germany as they put four goals past Ochoa, the Mexican goalkeeper while Mexico could only reply with a goal, though a stunning and long distance one by Marco Fabian, from a free kick. Germany and Chile both booked a first Confederation...

We once heard that the Television was the devil's box

By -

Passing by a church over the weekend, my thoughts revolved about a noticeable trend that have stayed in Nigeria, I believe for about a decade or so. You must have observed same. Churches in recent years now use Religious broadcasting (which is broadcasting by religious organizations, usually with a religious message) to conduct LIVE services. So, a head quarter church in any part of the country can easily broadcast to any of their satellite churches, and you see people in this satellite churches agreeing and seeing visible results. Several years ago, people will never try that. They will wonder why you should be looking at somebody in a box, and be dancing, singing and even believe same for miracles. What foolishness? The television was named the devil's box by some sect. Today, the story now is different, even though some people are still holding on to that. In fact, I saw a comic image yesterday which showed some people at heaven's gate and they were told they will have ...
