The Principles are Universal, but Our Pathways and Circumstances could differ

By -

No matter how spiritual you are, I may not agree with you on all issues. You may have personal beliefs that resulted from your experiences over time, that doesn't make it God's Word or changes God's word.

We live by faith and not by experience. There may be universal principles but different pathways and circumstances influenced by our levels of appreciation of God's word.

Don't impose your experiences on people in the name of wisdom. True wisdom is God's word. Teach the word and allow people move at their pace taking baby steps until they master their own art of absolute dependence on God.

My confessions are powerful, they may not be reasonable but I am what I believe. I have chosen not to bend them to suit experiences, I have chosen to make them all positive.

You will only receive to the extent of your beliefs and persuasion. If God is a Toyota to you, he will remain a Toyota, but if God is a Lamborghini, he will remain same to you. Don't assume because you have mastered the provoking of certain dimensions of God, you have mastered all. God is big, a baby may appreciate a dimension more than you do, that is why there is no place for complacency in the things of the Spirit. We continue to push until Jesus is formed in us.

Don't let any man look down on your baby exercises of faith.
Don't be intimidated.

You may be consuming high amounts of sugar and it's unhealthy for you

By -
Image
A lot of us must have heard that much sugar is not healthy, but a good number of persons still consume a large amount of it. Sugar is a carbohydrate and we have simple sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose) and more complex forms of it (sucrose, lactose, maltose). The sugar we consume is mostly in the form of sucrose, a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. When we consume sugar, it is metabolized to give us energy, but when high amounts of it is consumed, the body converts to body fats and store them. Sugar (sucrose) contains about 50% fructose, and fructose, which is actually the sweet part of sugar, responsible for the sweetness we taste when we take sugar is not good for us. Fructose is metabolized only by the liver which means there's a lot of work for one's liver to do. It is toxic to the liver especially in those who consume large amount of sugar (the human body is not meant to consume so much fructose). Also, sugar is ADDICTIVE due to fructose. Fructose suppress...

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 Human Body Wonderfully Made

By -
Image
Let me share this. Thumbs Up to the Writer! ------- The Human Body is a treasure trove of mysteries, one that still confounds doctors and scientists about how it works. It's not an overstatement to say that every part of your body is a miracle. It's possible for your body to survive without large fractions of its internal organs. Even if you lose your stomach, your spleen, 75% of your liver, 80% of your intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from your pelvic and groin area, you wouldn't be very healthy, but you would live. During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two Swimming pools. Actually, Saliva is more important than you realize. If your saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it. The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm. The egg is actually the only cell in the body that is visible by the naked eye. The strongest muscle in the human body is the tongue and the harde...

Step Up Revolution (2012)

It is another interesting movie to talk about. It's a dance movie starring Ryan Guzman (Sean Asa), Misha Gabriel (Eddy, co-leader of the Mob with Sean), Kathryn McCormick (Emily Anderson), Peter Gallagher (William Bill Anderson), among others. I think you guys will love the movie. As usual, I'll share the lessons I learnt from the movie. • It's really cool seeing the team Sean and Eddy put together. They brought different talented dancers together so they could express their voices as a team and make a bigger difference collectively. It's also great having a team of people who share same goals and who are committed. They didn't just gave themselves a voice, they also gave a lot of persons a voice and at the end, their voices were heard. A lot of times, team work with a positive team spirit ensures more positive, less stressful impact and makes the journey entertaining and fulfilling. One could go faster alone, but with a team, no matter how small the team is, the...

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...

Mindset: One's greatest strength

By -
Our most powerful element is the "mind". It's the distinct difference between being successful and failing to achieve. It's what limits you and keeps you distant from your dreams. One of our quotes for this week (by Alice Walker) was about the common way we give up our power, we under achieve and never get fulfilled. Theodore Roosevelt also said: "Believe you can and you're halfway there". The mind is one's greatest strength. When the mind is weak, discouraged and negative, it mirrors into one's actions and activities and ultimately influences the end results. Positive mindset is an essential individual factor for personal success as well as collective success. We see and feel the effects of mindset around us. When we complain about the challenges we face in family, work place, school, organizations we belong to, even the challenges we have as a society or a nation; they're all related to different personal mindsets. When you see a successfu...

Towards Mental Exploits by David .O. Oyedepo

By -
Image
I read this book about four years ago, and it was a big turning point for me. Much was learnt, I'll share few of them today. You should check it out. The lessons: Death begins when one stops learning, and ageing starts from one's mind, not one's body. One remains young as far as he or she keeps learning; One starts crashing once he or she stops pushing. One's ability to excel mentally is paralyzed once one stops trying and accepts that the results obtained is the best he or she can attain; One's life becomes a burden when one's life is void of progress. And when one's brain isn't working towards anything, it becomes a weight on the body. The brain is motivated when it sees something ahead, something to work towards for; One's success does not demand prayer and fasting, as much as engaging one's senses positively. Have you read the book? What can you say about it? Let's share Photo credit: www.zutasia.com

Eggshells (Episode 1)

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...
