The Battle has been Won, We are just enforcing the defeat

By -

As Christians, we are not in any battle with the devil. There is no battle again. Christ defeated the devil and made a public example of him. Why still fight an already won battle?

The only thing we do is confirming and enforcing the defeat. In the military it is called a mop up operation. We are only soldiers assigned to our immediate environments to ensure criminals don't infiltrate the already conquered territory. We have the upper hand and full control. They tremble at the sight of us. We are in charge, we are the government. Live with this understanding.
(Colossians 2:10-20)

Eggshells (Episode 2)

By -
Image
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...

Vulnerability

By -
Image
To be vulnerable is to be exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed either physically or emotionally. One way or another, we all have felt that way and while we are in that state, we are in desperate need of a saviour. But do we really know who to run to, where to go and how to ask for help? Different thoughts comes to mind. We humans, to an extent do not want to be perceived as weak. But if You don't show that weakness, how will you get in contact with the person that has answers to what you need?. If you don't ask the right questions how will you get the right answers? Showing weakness does not mean you are weak or silly literally. It simply means that you have got strength to rise above mediocrity. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you are in need, because that is only when salvation comes. Even the Bible says "Ask and it shall be given". It also says "confession brings possession". How will God bless your steps if you ar...

The Love and Positivity Initiative – LPI

Positive Life & Relationship Presents – The Love & Positivity Initiative (LPI) ---------- Hi Friend. Hope you're doing Great? I believe 2017 has been Great for You? 2018 have to be Greater! ---------- I will briefly share my story – the motivation. When I was born, I had a "perfect" mind. By this, I see the world through the positive light. I always speak and advocate for what's right. I don't need to be trained or taught, it was just in me. It's my personality. Growing up wasn't easy. Aside family challenges, my positive philosophy of life was basically solid though I later discovered that I had a lot to learn, and with my greatest ability – the ability to have an open mind towards life – I was able to get to where I want to be mentally, or let me say, I've gotten to a great extent (learning and improving never stops, you know) There came a period when I had some darkness – my positive philosophy to life started shaking.. Life's dai...

Be Ready before You Commit

By -
Image
Many people are in relationships, pairing with someone for different reasons, quite obviously and commonly is that "some" people do for their own sexual gratification. Some do for the attention they can get; perhaps, their supposed pair is someone with class or high social background. Some do too for recognition. Some do for some bucks. While a whole lot of others who are not in these other categories are probably because they are bored and tired of being alone. Relationship(s) is not all about a game of give and take, it is so much than that. By far, it is much more than commitment so just before you start getting over your head about one, make sure you are truly ready to be in one. A mind that is unstable, a heart that have not had a good time to heal properly is bound to stumble or get stuck in a rebound relationship. By that "Rebound", I mean, finding someone to fill the space for the moment to avoid being alone and not because you really do care, "well m...

Approaching Faith with a heart of Fear blinds Us

By -

I normally take a walk in the evenings. The practice of solitude on the street... the idea of being quiet on a road full of noisy commuters seems heavenly to me. It makes me feel different and that's exactly the kind of environment I can unwind. This evening, it was church-time for some folks. Because I wasn't walking alone, I had to be chatty with my colleague. We spoke from petty politics to travelling abroad and just as we got in front of this church, I asked him why people went to church. He retorted: "Fear!" Immediately, I checked the faces of those who were praying at the end of a screaming minister's voice and it was shocking to find their faces full of the very thing my friend said--fear. I couldn't chastize my friend for being so blunt or so easily dismissive of people's piety. He was simply right! There's a lot of fear going around, masking as the front for people's devotion. The fear of missing heaven. The fear of losing one's sa...

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...

Your Advantage is in Your Difference and Uniqueness

By -

Don't kill yourself over something that doesn't work for You. God created us different. Our advantage is in our difference. Don't kill yourself over relationships that don't work, not everyone will date for two years before marriage; yours might be for a month and it happens. If you are not happy, leave it, wait till you find joy. Allow God pilot your life, don't kill yourself because you have already defined a definite pattern in your mind as the path to Success. Maybe you wanted to start a business or job immediately after school, what if God wants you to go back to school first? Please understand your uniqueness in God. No two gathering of believers is exactly the same. Every church has a unique assignment bothering on the spiritual need per time as a part of the ultimate goal of the Body of Christ on earth. Stop jumping from place to place seeking for "e dey happen ministries". Sit back, relax and ask yourself, "Which aspect of my spiritual expe...

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...
