You are a Clay in the Potter's Hands

By -

Do you sometimes feel unworthy to be called God’s child? – You have too much baggage, too many wounds and too many scars, or maybe you don’t feel smart enough or spiritual enough to be used by God.

If so, then you are not alone. l used to feel inadequate and I believed l don’t have enough qualifications and experience for God to use me. What I did not realize is that God loves to use jars of clay to reveal His Glory. He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.

When something beautiful flows from an ordinary vessel, it’s both surprising and inspiring.

Ask God to show you what matters most. Your heart or your hands. You are a clay in the potter’s hand. You are not beautiful in yourself but You are beautiful in Him.

Try to forget yourself and all your inadequacies and allow his Glory to shine forth from You.

The question is: What is in your hands? Are you ready to give it to God to use it for his Glory?

I Don't Want To Be Bitter

"Oh Lord, I will hold tight to my love and not let go. I will throw away all the cruel words flung at me. I will cast away anger and hurt and despair. I won't think on the false accusations, the slights, the long silences, and the rejection. I will think about You." (Francine Rivers) This is exactly my prayer.

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...

Dream (from a motivational video)

This is from a motivational video: Dream , by Mateusz M. ----- I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how disappointing it might have been as you've been working towards that dream. But that dream that you're holding in your mind, that it's possible. That some of you already know that it's hard, it's not easy. It's hard changing your life. But in the process of working on your dreams, you are going to incur a lot of disappointments, a lot of failures, a lot of pains. There are moments when you're going to doubt yourself and say: God, why? Why is this happening to me? I'm just trying to take care of my children and my mother. I'm not trying to steal or rob from anybody, why this has to happen to me? For those of you that have experienced some hardships, don't give up on your dream. There are rough times that are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. ----- Greatness is not this wond...

Lifestyle and Health Quotes, this Week

By -

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -
Image
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...

Forgive Yourself, and Slide back in

By -
Image
Most of us are familiar with the parable of the prodigal son in the Bible. You know how he foolishly asked for all that was his and how he wasteful spent it all. The question I want to ask is this: Which person in the story best describes you? Perhaps your inner life has been so transformed by God’s forgiveness that you can empathise with others and easily forgive like the father in the story, or perhaps, like the younger son, you’ve demanded God’s gifts and then run your way toward destruction. Maybe, you yearn to return to God, but you are fearful of rejection. Or perhaps, like the elder son, you look at others and say; “After all the horrible things they’ve done, how can God use them instead of me? No matter which person you identify with, no matter what your circumstance is, God wants to meet you in your need. If you have backslide, please slide back in. I know sometimes the hardest person you can forgive is the one you see in the mirror everyday (yourself). You simply can’t fo...

You will receive when You Start giving out

Just the way the laws of gravity remains true and universal, so is the law of money. It is the same and can be reproducible anywhere. You will never receive if you don't give. Every great person have, and is giving out something. Some great speakers spoke for free, some great writers wrote for free, some great preachers preached for free. Don't expect anything if you have not started giving something. By: Raphael Donanu

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...

This is one of the best shortest books I've read so far. It's so short (about 41 pages) that one could finish it within a couple of hours. But every page of it; almost every paragraph of it has an inspiring bomb! It's a book one could go through every morning if possible, or maybe at the beginning of the week. It's cool! Think like a Champion was written by America's 45th and current president, Donald Trump. Donald is a successful businessman and television personality, and he shares so much successful tips that's helpful to everyone who wants success and wants to stay successful. I'll share a little of what I learnt from this book. I want you to get this book, and have some mental fun with it, as well. • Never sell yourself short! No matter what, maintain your faith and believe in yourself and your abilities. Don't compromise to please others. If you're talented and passionate about something, make positive use of that talent and pa...
