WORD Quotes for this Week

By -

The WORD Quotes today is credited to a colleague of mine, Jioke Snipes Ekems.

The Quotes:

• If You try to resist the devil before submitting to God, You will lose.

• The walls of satan can be so subtle. You miss one prayer at a time. Your prayer alter dies slowly. When he hits, it looks as if it was sudden. Satan is powerless but not stupid.

• There is no much difference between the one doing the preaching and the one taking the notes. They both face the same challenges.

• God's blessing may not follow protocol. So don't expect God to take a particular route. He can bless you from any angle.

• Everything God put inside of You will not be used in heaven. Use it here on earth. Die empty.

We All have a Single Lifetime to Spend

Your fears will want you to live it less; Your critics will want you to stop trying as they are committed to hunting every of your trial and blowing up any fault they find; Your backgrounds may want your back to remain on the ground; Your current bank balance may want to deter you; Your hurts may try to hold you back; Just remember you have a SINGLE LIFETIME TO SPEND. Live it to the best of your abilities. Beat the odds and fail while trying, it is a prove that you are making progress. There may be a thousands reasons why you shouldn't try, but when you find that one reason you should, RUN with it. A reminder from God's Word - Philippians chapter Four – 13 – I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] This is a call to a fulfilled life,...

3 Idiots (2009)

I thought of the second movie to write about and I picked this one. It is one amazing movie I love to watch repeatedly. After the first time I watched it on my mobile, it was deleted. I had to search for it and get it back, and since then, its been there. 3 Idiots is an Indian movie starring Aamir Khan (Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad / Chhote / Phunsukh Wangdu), R. Madhavan (Farhan Qureshi), Sharman Joshi (Raju Rastogi), Kareena Kapoor (Pia Sahastrabuddhe), Boman Irani (Dr Viru Sahastrabuddhe; the Engineering college Director), Omi Vaidya (Chatur Ramalingam) and Rahul Kumar (Millimeter), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Readers, if you haven't watched this movie, I'll recommend you do. Let's see what I learnt from the movie: • Life is actually a race, but not a race to compete with others; it's a race with oneself. Follow Excellence and Success will chase you! Rancho taught this lesson to his friends, Raju and Fahran. While Rancho came first at...

How to make Big Money from Small Businesses

I know a guy that sells roasted chicken at one of the female hostels in Unilag. The cheapest Roasted Chicken he sells is 1k and to be very modest, he sells at least 5 per day. We all know that he does more because the cars that come to the hostel are way more than 5 per day and those girls never let most "droppers" leave without dragging them close to his table for a slice. Some even do take away to their friends and roommates since it's actually "something lite". Don't ask me how I got to know this biko, I have headache. I love data because they don't know how to tell lies. Now keep let's keep our stat at 5 roasted chicken a day at 1000 naira per Chicken, that should give you about 35,000 per week. In a month, that is 140,000 naira revenue. Now, that's six figure in case you have forgotten how they calculate it! This boy sells under a Tree, so his overhead cost is low. He could even own a Poultry self, who knows. That also reduces supply c...

The evil called "Junior Waec"

Saw this on facebook and felt it's worth sharing here.. In JSS3; Our educational curriculum mandates that an examination be taken. This said exam is aimed at segregating the class into:- Sciences, Commercials and Arts; as the students transit to Senior Secondary School level. Those that score well above average are moved to sciences. The school management naturally assumes this category to be the most intelligent of the bunch and they surreptitiously bestow upon them the responsibility to become the future Medical doctors and Engineers. Those whose scores were average are moved to commercials because they are terms as those whose brains lack the capacity to comprehend Physics, Chemistry and Biology. They are better of going into the world of business. And those whose scores are below average are moved to Arts. These ones are characterised as dullards and olodo rabbatas. This category of students are termed as future Politicians. Ladies and gentlemen; This is the fundamental ...

Eggshells (Episode 3)

The movie turned out to be a comedy. Stanley rarely liked comedies. He was more into thrillers, action, and sci-fi. He had to fake his laughter at every interval. He did this in order not to look odd among the audience who were obviously cracked up by what Stanley felt was "mediocre and silly". When nobody was looking, he made sure his gaze was on his beautiful date, Franca. Franca, he thought. The truth was that he didn't expect her to agree to the movie date. A part of him was expecting her to decline his offer. This was why he was surprised when she had politely called him back before he left her office. She had smiled and told him she would go with him. Stanley wasted no time in asking for her number. There he was with her in a cold theatre hall sipping on some soda and munching some popcorn while holding her hands subtly. If he ever got to marry this woman, he would always recount the story of how they began as something that happened so fast. He shuddered. He had...

Sports this Week

It has been an interesting week in the world of football. A couple of transfers were done, and we'll see those involving popular stars and some top clubs. Before we get to that, I want to say a big Congrats to Germany for their victory as the Confederations Cup Champions. Many didn't see that victory coming from the beginning when the team selection was announced. The young players did a good job proving themselves, and I can't wait to see Germany's World Cup squad. Let's now look at the completed transfers within the past 7 days: • Yesterday, July 7, Jonathan Walters, 33, completed a transfer from Stoke City to Burnley, on a two year deal worth £3m. • On Thursday, July 6: Vincent Iborra completed a move to Leicester City from Sevilla. The value of the deal is undisclosed though a fee of about £10.5m is reported. The contract is for 4 years. Vurnon Anita, also competed a free transfer from Newcastle to Leeds. He signed a 3 year contract. • On Wednesday,...

You've got to take "Egypt" out of You

By -
Image
Praying and Fasting may take you out of Egypt (slavery); it however takes conscious and continous learning (unlearning and relearning of habits) to take Egypt (slavery) out of you! 10, 25, 50, 100, or even 200 days of fasting is an excellent way to start your new year. You'll however have to get down to the task of breaking the self-sabotaging habits like procrastination, rage, impatience, fear, self-doubt, perfectionism, anti-sociability, timelessness, reckless spending, emotional/senseless eating and drinking, pride, addictions, obsessions, etcetera, that worked against you in 2017 so that 2018 won't end up looking like it – as your habits largely produce your results. Prayer, fasting, and prophecies are not substitutes for taking informed responsibility in the equation of getting results. By the way, these are the richest countries in the world per capita: 8. United Arab Emirates ($68,250) ... 7. Kuwait ($69,670) ... 6. Norway ($70,590) ... 5. Ireland ($72,630) ... 4...

Use Fear properly!

By -
Image
Ikejiofor Izuchukwu Fear is a very essential component of living. It's a tool that's guides our lives and helps prevent tears. It's pretty normal to have fear; the fear of tomorrow. For a student; the fear of what happens when you graduate, the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of all. The impact of the fear could build a soul or kill it. The problem is not the fear. Everyone has the fear (the prettiest, the wealthiest, the most intelligent and the most spiritual). The problem is how you channel the fear. Do you let the fear of failure stop you from starting, or push you for better? It's quite not feasible to see people who "fear not." Those who make it are those who use the fear as a propelling force for better yield. Are you afraid you will fail? We all are. Let that push you not to fail. And if you fail at something, after you do so, let the fear push you not to fail again! Fear is a good thing. Use it properly.

Eggshells (Episode 2)

Stanley could not believe that he was delayed at the banking hall for close to an hour before he was asked to enter the office of the Customer Service Manager. Jessica who had waited behind in her car kept on sending him text messages asking him if he was done yet. He pitied her. The poor woman left her own business to attend to his own troubles. He, for once in his life, thought she would make a good wife. However, he didn't love her. Or maybe he did, but he had not realized yet. "You can go in now Sir", came the voice of one of the cashiers at the counter. "Thank you for taking my sweet time". Stanley grinned and walked straight to the door he had been directed to. He was too preoccupied with his fury to knock at the door. He got in and slammed the door behind him. The woman seated at the desk in the cozy and fully air-conditioned office looked smart in her black and white suit. She had a pair of glasses on and she gave off an impression of control and co...

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...
