You can make Grace work for You

By -

When I see something working anywhere, I just know it is Grace at work.

When I see someone doing effortlessly what I still struggle with, I just know it is by Grace.

When where they are is a place I still aspire to be, I need no soothsayer to tell me they are Graced.

So, I keep a tab on them – I watch how they do their things, I watch how they order their lives, I watch how they spend their time, I observe what they spend their money on, I watch their association, I observe what they say, then, I begin to practice these things.

Something tells me that if I do the things that they do, and practice the things I have observed in them, the Grace that works for them at that level and measure I desire, will work for me, too.

I want to 'tap' into that Grace...

Nothing Good Comes Easy (Dr. Nosa's Success Story)

This is an inspiring Success Story by Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa, a Medical Doctor and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa ----- After rounding up my Secondary School education, and losing my Dad to the cold hands of death in 2009; I decided to fend for myself, and complement the support I was getting from my wonderful siblings. I had to do this because I don't like depending on anyone wholly, plus the fact that finance was limited and things were not all rossy. So I started off as a phone technician at Third junction in Benin. It wasn't easy for me as I was a bit too young and innocent to hussle in such kind of environment. I faced a lot of reproach, rejections and oppressions. I can remember a day I was beaten up at my work place, by some cultists for not fixing their phones to their specification. I also faced a lot of disappointments even among my loved ones. Well, that's all history. I endured all and passed

You are Stronger than the Storms

By -

Just when you feel you have it all together and you feel like all your problems are under control, life advances like a disastrous hurricane to blow our fragile confidence to smithereens. The safety and peace we fought so hard to build are destroyed and our souls exposed to fear and intense doubts once again. This is the way of life. Stand strong in your resolve to turn things around and weather the storm like a warrior. The second storm usually comes to test our faith and confirm our resolve to be the best that we can be. Gradually all that falls apart start falling back into place like magic. Avoid the temptation of giving up and going back to your old ways. Resist the lure of returning to the comfort of your past. The universe will protect you and ensure that the damage is minimal. Take responsibility for your life and drive forward with hope and passion. Never let the storms of life blow out the fire of desire that burns within. By: Uchenna Ilo

Comportment and Etiquette

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we

We once heard that the Television was the devil's box

By -

Passing by a church over the weekend, my thoughts revolved about a noticeable trend that have stayed in Nigeria, I believe for about a decade or so. You must have observed same. Churches in recent years now use Religious broadcasting (which is broadcasting by religious organizations, usually with a religious message) to conduct LIVE services. So, a head quarter church in any part of the country can easily broadcast to any of their satellite churches, and you see people in this satellite churches agreeing and seeing visible results. Several years ago, people will never try that. They will wonder why you should be looking at somebody in a box, and be dancing, singing and even believe same for miracles. What foolishness? The television was named the devil's box by some sect. Today, the story now is different, even though some people are still holding on to that. In fact, I saw a comic image yesterday which showed some people at heaven's gate and they were told they will have

The Weekly WhatsApp Status-Quotes Challenge – The LPI

By -
Image
Hello Friends, The Love and Positivity Initiative (LPI) has been Great! Some days ago (Tuesday, the 16th of January, to be precise), I got an idea which I shared with the members of the LPI WhatsApp Group. I was inspired to write four Positivity Quotes which I'll share here. The idea is about uploading Five Positivity Quotes as part of one's WhatsApp status, one each on each of the five working days of the week. This will be repeated every week, probably for a couple of months. The Personal benefit of this, is that one's subconcious mind will take in those positive words every morning, and those words will have positive control over one's mindset, then words, actions, character and attitude. At the same time, one is inspiring his/her friends who read the statuses, and with time, a positive impact is made on the mindset of the readers, which would manifest on their attitude. It's all about creating a ripple effect of Positivity, and it can only start with us an

Understanding the Factors that make Children Brilliant

By -

I am sharing this article I came across on Facebook. The Credit goes to The Raise Genius Children Group, a group on Facebook. Here goes the article: This is a long article but you can't raise smart kids if you won't read so lets go lovely parents. Every parent I have met wants a brilliant child and I have also met some that would get enraged if a child comes back with a subpar report card and even go as far as beating a child that isn’t doing fantastic in class. I always wonder why they do that because the truth is there are a lot of factors that make a child brilliant and very few of them depends on the child. In fact I can say the only factor that depends on the child is concentration and seriousness. Every other thing including the ability to think, assimilate, read, memorize, prepare and a host of others fall under the purview of the parents whether consciously or unconsciously. WITH THAT SAID WE WILL LOOK AT THE LONG HELD NATURE VERSUS NURTURE DEBATE: The "Nat

Welcome to October

Those moments will come when you will ask yourself a lot of questions, when the feeling of tiredness will set in, when you've worked hard enough and feel like the life in you is being choked out. You just want to fast forward to your ultimate destination and end the journey. You're tired of the stress, you're tired of working hard and making those efforts. But deep inside You, you get fulfilment from what you do, you feel great and positive about yourself whenever you do those things. Your dream lies in them. You're only just tired. It's normal. You may rest a little, but you don't give up! You don't give in to distraction and that desire to just get there immediately. You should keep working, keep believing, keep improving, keep learning, keep growing. The truth is that what you're doing isn't hard. It isn't difficult. It's just challenging. It's also fun if you look properly at it and if you decide to get the fun out of it.

The one that got away

By -

A few years ago, I was in a relationship with someone. My clearest memory of it; the recollection that is etched in brain matter was our first kiss. I remember because I had a funny thought while being kissed. It was like I stepped out of my body to watch the proceedings and the thought that popped into my mind was, "Mills & Boons novels got it right." That was it. I felt the proverbial electricity and my knees shook. That had never happened to me before. I decided to analyse why. You know me. I never miss a learning moment. I had been friends with the guy for a long time. We were in sync mentally and emotionally before we ever got physical. At the root of our relationship was friendship. When he travelled, I felt a physical space where he was supposed to be and a tiredness I couldn't explain. A little bit of colour went out of my world when he wasn't around. It is instructive that I loved him more at the end of the relationship than at the beginning. Suffice to

How To Save Your Heart From Incessant Heart Breaks

By -

Dear sister, I'm sorry to hear that your "heart" has been "broken" again, but I want to believe this incessant break is avoidable if you can apply the wisdom of a car dealer. You see, a lot of people walk into a car show room everyday. I categorise them into three - the faith walker, the bargainer and the buyers. The faith walker: They are taking a step of faith by pricing the car. You see them claiming it, speaking in tongues and when they have had their feel of the vehicle, they will say "we will be back". The bargainers: They are looking for the cheapest price available and after having their feel, they leave with "I thought it's cheaper here". The buyers: They just price the car, test drive it, pay and leave. Dear, it is difficult to tell any of these three by just appearance. The man carrying a KJV Bible with clerical shirt may be the buyer. The Chief with pot belly may be a bargainer, while the guy wearing an armless shirt wit
