Do not be a financial fool; seek Knowledge!

By -

Poor people are the worst people to deal with, especially when it is a case of poverty of the mind. A poor man is angry and ungrateful; it bewilders me the more when a poor ignorant man is proud. I am beginning to understand why poor people think the rich are wicked.

All a poor man wants from you is money, and believe me, money is not the problem. I have tried many times but at each try, I have been left frustrated. You cannot help a man that have built his life on wrong paradigms, never!

I have seen people whose actions and lifestyles tended directly towards abject poverty. The worst form is when a man is financially stupid and when you try to advice him, he throws the 'who are you to teach me how to spend my money' at you. I have said this over and over, that 100k you are about to blow may be your only 100k for life.

God gives every man an opportunity to gain access to greatness which may be in the form of money, knowledge, or relationships. Everyone on earth have had an opportunity for greatness which comes in different ways. Fools blow up theirs.

You can start all over again. Seek knowledge, don't be a financial fool. Money is and has never been the problem. The problem is the way you think.

You need a Mansion, Build On!

The Foundation is Important, Yes; so is the roofing too. Beautiful childhood memories I have, maybe the most beautiful ever told (at least that was the one I witnessed, don't know of any other). God bless our parents who wore us lovely clothes and took us to church, - to children ministry which was so much fun. Virtually everything was composed into song; Bible study, Memory verses, etcetera. There would always be rhyme and rhythm, melody and harmony. We would dance, sing on top of our voices, laugh so hard and feel all excited! I remember kingdom dance, we usually were the front liners shaking our entire being in our beautiful attires, panty hose and the rest. We would eat biscuits, celebrate birthdays, pray with tightly closed eyes, give special numbers... As we grew older, you'll be questioned about your head covering, so much jewellery spaghetti handed dresses, etcetera (lol). We would go for camp meetings... Catechism came, we memorized plenty things, plenty, and recit...

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...

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...

Winning is simply a Mindset... A Mindset developed by outstanding individuals (From a Motivational Video)

By -
Image
This Motivation is from a motivational video by FearlessMotivation.com ---------- Winning is simply a mindset A mindset however, that is only developed by outstanding individuals. It's not about talent. It's about Effort. Effort will get you the win when the talent is having a resting day. Effort will drive you home when everyone expects you to give up. Effort will drag you from the canvas when you have been knocked out by life. Winning is not some special reward only reserved for the lucky among us. If you ask all the failures, they will tell you it is the luck, but it's not. Winning is a reward you receive when you have put in the hardwork when no one is watching. Winning is for champion attitudes and champion hearts. If you throw me to the wolves, know that I will return leading the pack. It only takes one moment to decide you are going to be a winner. One moment is all it takes. It only takes one moment to make a decision, one moment to say No, to say n...

When it comes to achieving your goals and dreams, everyday is an important day. Every hour, every minute, every second counts. Once you make a decision to pursue your dream, you must alter your attitude; change the way you do things. You cannot continue to do the same old things same way and expect to get to your goal. Everyday, ask yourself: "Is what I am doing pushing me closer to my dream?" If no, then you should begin to shift your focus to something that will lead you inch by inch to that dream you seek to achieve! You can do it. I BELIEVE IN YOU! By: Fortune Kendra

We first have Standards; then we can talk Consistency

By -
Image
People who stand for something are those who are consistent in their choices. Consistency helps build Reputation. Consistency helps build Result. Consistency is what we do repeatedly no matter what. The difference between EFFORT and EFFECT is Consistency. We cannot be consistent if we don't stand for something. Every organization is built on the service delivery and experience and this both is a derivative of consistency. Great Organization are those who have standard brand, and those who have standard brand are men and women who are consistent in their dealings. The best of brands have standard! Standard are expected level of quality or performance below which is unacceptable. ~ FD For us to be recognized as someone with standard, we must be able to define an unacceptable level of quality or performance and we must also have an acceptable level of quality or performance. This validates our cognisance as one with a standard. The lower your standard, the less effort peopl...

Liver health: keeping a healthy liver

The liver is an essential organ, the largest internal organ in the human body. It has a wide range of functions, including detoxification of various metabolites, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. It also plays a role in metabolism, regulation of glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells and hormone production. It is said that the liver has over 500 functions. Here are important points to note about having a healthy liver: Foods with lot of fiber, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, cereals, are healthy to the liver.

The Gospel is Prime!

I grew up in a home without a TV, but each time we had to visit our family who lived in the heart of Lagos, I'd get stuck on it like a media-starved kid consuming as much content as was available. Even as a child, Christ Embassy's 'Atmosphere for Miracles' was something for me. It was like a church minted only in the utopian circles of my dream. The lights, the lectern, the language all struck me in awe. Everything felt dramatic – those who felt the power of God wept or fell beneath the touch of a man with crisp yellow hands, spotless white suit and a fluent and flawless grammar! Pastor Chris was etched in my mind as the "Healer man". I was trained to be a church skeptic... "testing every spirit whether they be of God". Once anything wasn't done in my Church, it was wrong, or at least, not helpful. But never could I shake off this marvellous impression of Love World International even when I joined others to question the authenticity of those...

WORD Quotes for this Week

By -
Image
The WORD Quotes today, is credited to Akande M. Olatunji. The Quotes: • Some Christians who excessively engage in “Spiritual warfare” spend much time and energy negotiating and chatting with the devil each day, than they do talking to God. That is abnormal and so inappropriate. The scriptures never instructed us to bag PH.D. in DEMONology. The best warfare to engage in is focusing on Jesus ! • Actually, the problem is not about the OLD testament. We learn from the Old testament. The problem is the OLD COVENANT! • It is a thing to BE in charge, it is another thing to KNOW that You are in charge. It is a thing to BE FREE, it is another thing to KNOW you're FREE! You need to carry the consciousness of your covenant position in Christ! • If You never watched the movie 'Terminator', then I doubt if your childhood was fun. Lol. See the movie on the surface, don’t dig deep. In terminator 1, Arnold is the bad guy. He dies in the end. In terminator 2, He rises again as a G...
