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!

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

By -
Image
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...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -

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...

Real wealth comes through solving problems

By -

I'm not certain of the actual writer of this, but I think it's worth sharing on this space. Thumbs up to the Writer! ----- The major secret of billionaires is their ability to find solutions to the challenges of humanity. All of them created solutions that brought the billions. Presently, Bill Gates is spending millions of dollars in search of renewable energy. By the time he finds one and become a major player in the electricity industry, we will say he is lucky. But we forget that he didn't pray for financial breakthrough, he only found a solution to a global problem. Wealthy people don't necessarily look for money, they create solutions, and money will follow them! Larry Page and Sergey Brin went all out to help humanity find things faster on the internet, and billions of dollars followed them. Mark Zuckerberg created platforms for socialization, and over $71 billion followed him. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak went all out to reduce the size of computer. What ...

I Do. Do What?

By -

Getting into marriage without planning and discussing your expectations about the marriage is like flagging down a taxi and not knowing why or where you want it to take you. I'm I going to work after marriage or be a full time house wife?, how many kids?, yes to family planning or not?, whose in charge of what?, sleep in different bedrooms or same bedroom?, etcetera. I once encountered a married lady who after marriage was taking contraceptives without her husbands knowledge because she didn't want kids immediately, while he wanted kids. I asked her, "what exactly did you guys discuss during courtship? You mean to tell me that you guys didn't discuss children and when to start having them?". She couldn't answer me. Some folks spend their courtship days planning wedding (a day's event) without even planning for their marriage (which is a life time event). Don't make that mistake! A lady who was a nurse by profession married a man without discussing s...

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 ...

Your Beliefs are Powerful

By -

No one can live or experience beyond their belief or mindset. Bimbola Tayo-Bamidele I once broke a relationship because of my understanding of this. The guy believed "women are not to be trusted with confidential issues," because his daddy told him so. He was a Christian. He was a good man. He was very spiritual. But I simply knew I could not marry him. Two cannot walk together if they are not going in the same direction. I knew no one can go in a direction opposite their mentality. I knew I could marry no such man. ----- Be careful what you Believe. Your condition might not be satan-caused or God-ordained, but simply a function of your wrong beliefs. Your beliefs determine your life's circumstances. They either liberate you or they restrain and restrict you. Your mindset shapes your world. You can't go beyond your mindset. And this relates even to ministry. ----- A pastor, while addressing other pastors, once wrote, "......

The fears we do not face becomes our limits

By -
Image
If you allow fear, it will cripple you, immobilize you, destabilize you, ridicule you, reduce you, limit you and render you useless. That's the power of fear. I attended a Youth night vigil a while back organized at a Zonal level. I pleaded with the Zonal Youth President to give me an opportunity to give a presentation and he obliged me. I picked a topic on communication with special focus on how to apologize. I personally don't like to do presentations with any materials or reminder aids, I just prepare, show up and present, I PERSONALLY believe that there's no need for one to step out before an audience with a pen and paper except you're gonna be giving a very lengthy talk or a very complex one and that presenting without any paper before you, gives your presentation a kind of professional touch. So I did a quick perusal of the jottings I had done on the subject, and when it was time to present, I stepped up and started presenting. All was going well, till I had men...

Being Spontaneous

By -
Image
Have you ever sat down, and just suddenly realized that the best moments and memories in life are usually spontaneous and never planned or premeditated? Whatever you do, give space for spontaneousness. Don't just live by the book - rigid, one way street life. In your relationship, be spontaneous; do things for and with your spouse on the spur of the moment, and see true beauty, romance and laughter come to reside with you and your household. Nothing kills relationships like routine, and timetable for everything. I mean, sex by timetable, outings embarked on strictly by timetable, everything predictable, everything mechanical, robotic laidis.. God forbid bad thing for you, my friend. Surprise your spouse very often, let there be that anticipation, excitement, that feeling of waiting for your surprise gift, surprise treat, not knowing what you will come up with next; knowing that with you, anything can happen anytime. Give in to sudden ideas, sudden suggestions as the spirit of th...
