You are Limitless!

I got a video on my mobile which I watched over a week ago. It's a motivating one. The message on the video is from the album: "Feed your mind with Success (Motivational Speeches)" I'll share the message: There's a popular quote going around at the moment: The person you will be in 5 years is based on the books you read and the people you hang around with today This is quite true but it applies to everything else as well. The person you will be in the future is based on everything you do today ! The people you hang around with, but more so the people you listen to The opinions you believe The books you read or the videos you watch All the information you take in Positive or negative will affect your future The workouts you do or don't do: that will show up in the future. The foods you eat today will affect your future on a visual and energy level. The same is true with your thoughts and information . What you feed your mind will shape your f...

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...

Real Faith is Concrete and Evidential

By -
Image
Our faith as Christians is not misguided or misdirected, God did not ask us to have faith on something that does not work or that is nonexistent. Everything we believe God for already is and have been proven to be reproducible. People have believed for the same things you believe God for and have or are getting them continually. The problem is we and not the word of God. Do this anytime you feel your faith is tested. Walk randomly into your church and ask people randomly if they have ever believed God for what you are believing and have received. The results have always been and will continue. Our faith is not guess work, it is not uncertain, it is not speculation, it is not luck or chance. We believe God for what already is, have been and is been received continually by others. Real faith is concrete, it is evidential, tangible and reproducible anywhere. It works in all climes. By: Raphael Donanu

Honest Self Reflection helps Us Grow

By -
Image
Deep self-reflection is at the core of the spiritual healing process. It involves holding a mirror up to one's own activities, beliefs, assumptions and judgements about their lives. It is about developing an awareness of the limits of your knowledge and being extremely mindful that the truths you hold about the nature of reality may not be universally held. Reflection is a spiritually humbling process that opens our inner eyes to the underlying paradoxes that make up the beliefs that we hold so dearly. Honest reflection also creates an awareness that attracts the right kind of people and sequence of events that bring the needed growth in your life. By: Uchenna Ilo

What do you have in your hands?

By -
Image
Have you ever given someone a gift that they don’t care about or won’t use? You must think they are ungrateful, especially if it's a gift that's expensive and important to the service of others. Do you think God could "feel" the same way about the talents he has endowed you with? Do you think you could have been depriving someone out there the privilege of being blessed by your service to humanity? If you're culpable; you've probably ignored your talent — your God given gift to humanity. To ignore your talent, is to ignore God in your life and deprive many others the gift of God in you. He made us that way — He has equiped us for what we are suited for with a great calling to serve humanity. It is never too late to discover what talents you have and develop them. The development of your talent is too important to be left to chance. Invest time, energy, and money to fan your talent into raging flame that transforms the world. Play that piece, sing ...

Are You a value-adding person or a parasite?

Are you a value-adding person or a parasite? Do you go about seeking for opportunities to help, or to be helped? I have said it before and will say it again that, at our various levels, we all can be a blessing; somehow. We know what you will do when you have plenty but what are you doing with the little in your hands? Only he that is faithful with little, can be trusted with much. You were created to add value to your world; not to be a victim of circumstances. Rise up, and give to your world. Be a blessing today... By: Bimbola Tayo-Bamidele

Your Soul Knows Better

By -
Image
Some people will come into your life looking as if they are the real deal. Their attributes will tick all the right boxes in your checklist. Your relationship will start with such an intensity that you will believe they were sent from heaven. From this high tension love, your relationship immediately descends to the lows of depression, quarreling and anger. The fluctuations are more dizzying than roller-coaster rides. Gradually, they will begin to show their true colors and you will have to decide whether to leave or stay and try to fix them. If you don't open your inner eyes, you will fall into the oldest trap of the flesh. Your flesh desires them but your soul knows better. Remember all your sufferings and let the wisdom of pain be your guide. All that glitters is not gold and there is no substitute for inner peace. If you remain humble and kind, one day someone will appear from nowhere in the most unusual of circumstances when you least expect it to return all the love you lost ...
