God functions from You

By -

That Altar in your Church built by men is not as sacred as You if you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in You!
You are holier than the altar.
The main altar is in me. So when I kneel at the Altar of our Church, I come with God’s presence. It is my presence as a Child of God that even makes that place a sacred place!

So, when I wish to kneel at the Altar and pray, it means I just want to separate myself from the crowd for a while and pray!
I love the idea of Chapels in big churches. For me, it's a quiet place where you can run from distraction and concentrate on God but it is not another special place where another kind of God’s power is made available.

If the Spirit of God isn’t in You, you are wasting your time at that altar. If you don’t have a personal relationship with God, I wonder who you are talking to at that altar!
God functions from you and not from the altar, podium or stage in our Churches.

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...

If you expand your mind, you expand your life. • Life is a buffet... You get what you take (choose). • Sometimes you may not realize the lives you are touching, the impact you are making.

The Room for Improvement

By -
Image
The world hasn't ceased to evolve. The adversaries and competitors you are fighting are more intelligent than they were yesterday. They have been learning just as you have too. Even when you refused to learn or grow, they did not relent. When you took days off at the weekend, they didn't. This calls for continuous betterment. The largest room in the world is the room for improvement. Isaac Newton said, "What we know is a drop but what we don't know is an ocean." More so, remember that you can't solve today's problems with yesterday's knowledge. By: David Akinwale

Keep Showing Up (Motivational Speech)

Keep Showing Up is a motivational speech from a motivational video by FearlessMotivation.com ----- If no one invests in you, INVEST IN YOURSELF. If no one believes in you, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Even if you don't see the results right away, KEEP SHOWING UP, until you see the results. Even if you don't see the results for a very, very long time... KEEP SHOWING UP. What if the results don't come. They're not going to come if you quit. KEEP SHOWING UP. I'm tired,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I don't feel like it,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I can't see any results,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I don't know where to start. JUST START, DO SOMETHING. Take that FIRST STEP. Every step you take adds up. And sooner or later, you'd look back and see that you're at the top of the staircase. It doesn't matter if you can't see the top from where you are. Just know that if you keep climbing, if you keep learning HOW, you can get to the next level. You'll soon be exactly wher...

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

Eggshells (Episode 1)

By -
Image
Only Jessica Wilson understood him. Stanley was a man of short temper. He could hardly control himself when he was angry. He personally disliked getting angry but it seemed that getting angry was unavoidable for him. This time, it was his car. His mechanic, Yusuf had "tampered" with its engine a few days ago. Stanley had paid him #5,000 for his services even though he knew deep down that he was been overcharged. He had no choice. Getting an honest mechanic these days was like finding a needle in a haystack. His only console, however, was that Yusuf was pretty good at his job. He was not the best around but he was far from being mediocre. Stanley had been called over the phone by his secretary. The call was to let him know that a certain amount of money had been deducted from the company's account by the bank to cover for the loan which he received earlier. Stanley was more than furious to hear that. He immediately excused himself from the meeting he was involved in and m...

Your Prescription is not far away!

Credit: Chikodili Ochuba  This day, you wake up so excited like you won a trophy. You're all smiles and feel the world revolves around you. You look breathtaking and greet everyone around you. The next day, you wake up feeling so miserable, so sad that you see no reason to get out of bed to face the world, you feel so down that you sit by a corner sulking all day long like you've lost a relative, like your world is falling apart. Nothing interests you; all you want to do is stay away from people and bemoan your "poor" self. After some time you're all over the place again singing and dancing, taking photographs and laughing... Then again you get all moody and shut out from people... You keep shuttling between feeling good and feeling bad and just like a pendulum bob, your mood swings in a to and fro fashion without your control. You feel like holding on to the good moment and never let it slip by but still it's not in your power, you don...

Happiness is You

By -

So there are a lot of myths, facts, and opinions out there about happiness. My intention, however, is not to support or discredit any one of them you may have come in contact with before. While it is true that happiness is relative, it is also true that personal happiness is what you make of life. Many people in the world today have different goals and ambitions. There is something which is nonetheless common to almost all of us and that is personal happiness. I have learnt that it is impossible to control the happenings around us but what we can control is our disposition towards these happenings. The major mistake a person can commit is to expect that life will always go as planned or as expected. For instance, you may have planned to wake up at 6 am today but somehow you didn't and woke up at 8 am instead. That was not what you wanted or had planned but that was what happened nonetheless. This is a simple analogy of how the plans of human beings are thwarted by unforeseen cir...
