WORD Quotes for this Week

By -

The name of Jesus is as powerful in a shout as it is in a whisper (Lanre Oluseye)

Prayer creates a personal change in your life; nothing you can do will benefit you more than prayer (David Yonggi Cho)

The purpose of preaching to Christians is to inspire them to do what they have been taught. If they have not been taught much, they can’t do much – all they get is lots of goose bumps, shouting, dancing and screaming; but Satan defeats them. What they need is information and revelation from the Word; and what local churches should do is 90% teaching and 10% preaching every so often. Preaching is to give them a little kick to do what they have first been taught (Keith Butler)

If God does not know your voice in the secret, He may not respond to your call in the open (Dr. Paul Enenche)

Lagbaja’s Family Budget (By Mute Efe)

By -
Image
While a lot of us have heard about Goal Setting and may have even taken classes on Goal Setting; not many of us have given much attention to budgeting. However, when it comes to financial goals, budgeting is a critical aspect. Budget is a broad concept and a little complex. However, I am going to try and make it as simple as possible so you can get a good grasp of it. Simply put, budgeting is stating how your money will be spent. Now that will be easy if you already had the money in your account and you are only drawing up a list of how to spend that money. But it is not so. The reality is that you don’t have the money yet but you still have to plan how to spend the money. So you are drawing up a list of what you will need money for in 2018 and how much money you will need. It is that information you will then input into your financial goals for 2018 so you can come up with a plan on how to get that money. What are the expenses you will incur in 2018? You have to be detailed. Capt...

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...

The False Consensus Effect?

By -
Image
There is a phenomenon in Psychology known as FALSE CONSENSUS EFFECT. This effect refers to the tendency to overestimate the extent to which others share our opinions, attributes, emotions, feelings and behaviors. Simply put, it means one thinking or assuming that others feel or think same way as they do. Why am I bringing this up today, or at all? A lot of times we fall prey to this effect. We misjudge and assume certain things to our very detriment and hurt... Husband assumes the reason he wants something is the same reason his wife does; the wife assumes her husband feels the same way she does about sex or kids or family life. A lady likes a brother in church, she starts visiting him, brother is nice to her, brother treats her well, False Consensus Effect happens, and she assumes he feels same way, she overestimates his feelings to be as large or deep as hers. Later, Brother invites her to his wedding, Sister is heartbroken. "I thought we had something going, I thought you lo...

Great Attitude has a strong healing power!

That was how I kept going back to this mini Restaurant for the past four months or so. Credit: Nonso Kingsley Nwosu Special point of interest to me was the manner at which she smiles and greets her customers of which majority are younger than her; the kind of quality she adds to the food at an affordable price; the neatness and excellence she prepares the food with (with apron and cooking gloves); the joy and enthusiasm her workers have in working for her (she influenced them with such a positive attitudinal prowess); the distance Guys and Ladies have to trek or drive just to eat her food... At first, I thought it was just because of the quality and affordability of the food. But now I think; that was just part of it, it wasn't the main secret behind it. I didn't arrive at these conclusions based on subjective preferences she may have towards me, wouldn't even want to start that because she literally serves me as a king each time I came to eat. "I do...

Keep Up with the Good work, keep being the light

A man was asked to paint a boat. He brought with him paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him. While painting, he noticed that there was a small hole in the hull, and quietly repaired it. When finished painting, he received his money and left. The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a nice cheque, much higher than the payment for painting. The painter was surprised and said "You've already paid me for painting the boat Sir!" "But this is not for the paint job. It's for having repaired the hole in the boat." "Ah! But it was such a small service... certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant." "My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened. When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole. When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip. They did n...

Two Great Forgivers make a Great Relationship

By -
Image
If you have been dreaming of the perfect home, perfect relationship, (you know - all sunshine and rainbow; the lady kissed the frog and it turned into a handsome prince (Lol); they got married and went to live in his castle and they lived happily ever after) Think again, well. The living happily ever after is a great relationship goal and quite possible but to assume all will be all sunshine and flowers every minute of the day, wouldn't be that cool. You will offend and be offended, as long as you are two different individuals, there will be cause for offending and forgiving. Knowing this in advance, one of the tools you will use to sail through the minefield of offenses in relationships and marriage is forgiveness. Statements like: "I don't forgive easily", "It's just the way I am", "I forgive, I don't forget", "hurt me once, lose my trust for ever"; do not spell a bright future for such people when they enter into relationship...

Four Lessons to Remember (by Mute Efe)

By -
Image
1. You don't need much before you start adding value. Start where you are with what you know. All I did was help people craft one simple sentence but the impact will last a lifetime. You can also add value with the little you know. 2. Activity is not necessarily productivity. I did not have to leave my home to organize a class in a posh place and ask people to meet with me there. The internet changed all that. From the comfort of my home I added value to hundreds of people who in turn will add value to others because of what they've learnt. 3. Your candle does not go out because you helped others light their candles. It only makes the world brighter. By helping hundreds of people craft their bios so they can sell themselves better, my influence increased. It did not diminish. We are not in any competition. 4. It comes down to leadership. There was nothing unique in what I did. Anybody could have done it. It did not require an IQ score of 183. It simply required LEADERSHIP. H...

Do not marry a Robot

Everyone is Unique. We all have our different opinions, visions, ideas. And even when we get married, and two become one, this still remains so. Being in a relationship with another person and succeeding in it entails having a listening ear and heart. Hearing is not enough, we must truly listen. However just listening is still not enough. This post is about striking a balance, between listening to your spouse's opinion, having your own opinions heard and doing the right thing. You should - • Listen to your spouse. Men make this mistake more, thinking that a lady's place is to rear babies, and not to talk. How naive. I once heard a man say: "what can a lady know?" Even the ladies fail in this regard too. It is important you have a heart that listens. No one is an island or a custodian of knowledge. Many homes have been saved by the advice of the supposedly 'ignorant' spouse. Abigail saved her husband's life from David by her wisdom in 1 Samuel 25. ...

I went to Learn!

The face you give when you launch a new product and instead of people to buy they say "Congratulations, I am proud of you". Am I the only that has experienced this? When I first launched my first book, At the River Bank, I had a lot of people that told me Congratulations, the moral support was something else but that Moral support demoralized me and I gave into depression. Do you know why? Only one person purchased my book on the day I launched it. The person that even purchased the book was my friend, Promise Excel. Over 300 congratulations and only one person purchased the book. How does that sound? Have you been in this same situation? I was sharing this story with Bella the other day and I realized how much I've grown from that experience. I almost took up on Social Media to say "Mbok thank you for all the Moral support but abeg buy the book na". Thank God I didn't do that, I wonder what would have happened to my brand by now. I realized that I ...
