Great and mighty is the Lord Most High, the keeper of our soul,
the lifter of our heads, the guardian of our steps and the savour of our lives.
Yet our hearts faint when faced with life challenges, especially the gigantic
ones that strip us of our faith and confidence in God despite knowing He is
right in the midst of the storm to see us through it all.
Yippey!!! It’s
Friday.com post coming quite early to lighten your mood because I didn’t have
to work so hard on what to put together, just as many bloggers didn’t have to
think of a better way to entertain you yesterday (kindly be patient to read to
the bottom).
After reading about the various havoc created by Fulani
herdsmen in different part of the nation, I realise how the dispassionate attitudes (not
influenced by strong emotion, and so able to be rational and impartial)
of Nigerian Government has become towards the masses. Of course, it
is becoming clearer on daily basis on whom we should rely on. Definitely not the government or the uniformed people put in place to protect Nigerians.
The Forbearance of Ignorance as Portrayed by former Presidential Aide and Fan. I believe ignorance (in terms of lack of information)
definitely can be excusable as portrayed by Reno Omokri and his fan on twitter.
Unlike others, abuse would have been the order of the question instead of
simply inquiring to know. I hope we all learn to ask questions politely before
reacting over everything we think might be correct or wrong.
It's Tuesday and time for some CHIC (Comic Heat Issues Compilation). Let's get to review some heart issues and their outcomes, starting with the ladies, letting a man who do not respect their presence to learn to feel the impact of their absence.
You have no idea what tomorrow holds in store for us, hence
there’s need not to be prideful or raise shoulders as many will say. As opportunity
has smiled on you today and raised you steps higher than your neighbour, same
way will it smile on someone else tomorrow. And that someone else might be somebody
you thought your shoulders were too high to lend to lean on or too
neat for his or her head.
As usual Friday.com post is to put you in a light mood. Today
I will list some hilarious ways to become a landlord quicker than planned. Actually
this is about those who can afford to build but taking longer time to pursue
that goal. So, here are the catalysts to speed up the idea.
Some days ago, precisely onthe 14th of April I read an inspiring story from the morning
devotional ‘Our Daily Manna’ of Sylvester Stallone popularly called Rambo after
one of his most successful films of all times.
This is going to blow your mind! The Living Faith Church a.k.a
Winners’ Chapel, Crudas Road Sapele in Delta State celebrates 20 years of
unlimited GRACE, on One Altar, with one microphone, for 20 hours with 20 praise
leaders beginning from 9:00am today (Friday) to 5:00am tomorrow (Saturday).
Join us in uplifting the name of the Lord in this liberation celebration for a
new definition.
You might not have experienced the depth of poverty that has eaten deep into this nation, what the masses had to do inorder to survive daily. But I
believe you have a good idea and have been properly informed but chose to turn
blind eyes and deaf ears because you’re not directly affected. You have
probably forgotten the reason the masses voted you into power in the first
place. To restructure and reform a decaying nation.
Everyman has something he’s afraid of, I have been told. Many
times what one fears is usually unrealistic. And other times our fears get to
unfold before us. This will probably remind you of the biblical story about a man
called Job, whose fears of losing everything someday materialised when
Satan decided to ask God to make his fears a reality, Job 1:12, 2:1 & 3:25.
Two
boys on their way to school passing a group of peers on their way to work in
Indonesia. WHY?How did we
get to this stage? The nation’s people and her leaders who do we blame? And they have no shoes on.
Now I believe
it is about time you and I change our way of thinking if they aren’t in line
with what has been listed by the movie mogul, Tyler Perry. Too much consumption of
eba (garri) won’t occupy the space of knowledge in our lives lol! In some old woman voice 'see your mate...heeeh'.
Inspiration to be on Motion from 10 Women Business Leaders:No knowledge is ever lost. If it is not useful today, it will be today. Hence
the need to share these 10 inspirational quotes from renowned women in the world of
business. These include the founder Mary Kay,
wife of Bill Gates and others as culled from Entrepreneur .
One of the greatest mistakes you could make in life is by
judging a man’s strength base on his physical look. I could remember my shock
when a slim girl weighed 38kg and a very fat girl weighed 30kg as a young girl
myself. Then I was given a brief lecture that it is not about the fats but the thickness
of the bones. It is what a man carries inside of him that determines his
strength and capabilities.
In life every spoken word can be base on human or spiritual
understanding. The human understanding are words that are dependent on the
abilities of man and that of spiritually spoken words are what you called
‘faith founded words’.There’s this
story I will like to remind you of in 2 Kings 4:8-36 of the Shunammite’s woman. She gave two different answers to one
question base on what she felt the person carried. When her husband asked if
all is well? She gave her answer base on human understanding thus ‘it shall be
well.’ Take note of the word ‘shall’ But when the prophet asked that same
question she replied 'it is well' because she knew what she seeks can be found
with and in the prophet. And yes it became well with her.
Today, many are beginning to realise that continuous prayers
need to be made on behalf of our nation, Nigeria. A great sense of relief
enveloped majority when there was a change of course in the nation’s leadership
Damascus journey. Several good will messages were delivered especially to
eliminate the various elements at work in the nation’s government. The crimson
burning of hope brightened the lives of people. It became full blown when the
promise to fight the major element working in the government was
made and many are presently being probed and monies being recovered.
My heart aches when I hear about what the masses are being
subjected to in this nation of ours. Where other nations are busy paying their citizens benefits, ours is busy milking the masses dry. Recently, Udu Local
Government in Warri Metropolis, Delta State asked all women into sales to be paying N150 every day. It
doesn’t matter what you’re selling (hawking). You will pay even if all the
interest you made that day is just N150. The women of course are protesting
seriously against it but with the various elements at work in the government
will their voice be heard? Besides, with what tricycle riders did they are
today, buying tickets N200 each day, despite the fuel troubles.
After every battle one gets a title and in the case of
Christians our title is 'victory' with lots of entitlement embedded with God’s
blessings which is the ultimate. The great news about fighting battles is that;
your strength is considered insignificant when God is fighting for you. Note; ‘for
you not with you’. God does not fight battles base on human strategy because God
uses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise 1 Corinthians 1:27. In some biblical version, it is translated that
God uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong. Everything is base
on His strategy and ability. And victory cannot be contested.
That's a couple specially connected by God Himself. Even Satan knows not to bother to trouble their home. Interestingly, Pastor David Oyedepo who's the resident pastor of the Winners' Chapel Church (Faith Tabernacle),
Canaan land wife, Kemi Oyedepo gives thought provoking insight on
what it truly means to like someone. Yeah! It is LIKE not LOVE. This excerpt
from her regular Family Life class, ‘Crisis Proof your Family is really
enriching. I pray you get it straightened out after reading this.
Everyone in this world today is in search of one miracle or
the other. The blessed wants to be blessed more and others are hoping for any
kind of blessing so long it takes them a step higher in life or take away any
form of misery they are dealing with. In that entire quest, the level of one’s
contentment will have a great role to play. But what many are missing is that
everyone is actually an embodiment of miracle. Goodly blessed of the Lord, Genesis 1:31. But
many have chosen the wrong steps hence the delay in their realisation of who
and what they truly are.What miracle or
blessing are you searching for?I
believe as you read, God will order your steps appropriately to find it or
them.
Award winning actor and Tinsel indomitable lawyer writes on
how we can successfully turn our failures to become the allures of our success
story tomorrow. The number of times you failed will not count if you do not
succeed. If you doubt me, ask Chief Ovedje Ogboru his reason(s) for his continuous aspiration to become the governor of Delta Sate despite failing in his previous attempts and kindly read more on the story of Abraham
Lincoln who became president elect of the United States in 1860 after failing
in other categories and that of Thomas Edison 1000 unsuccessful attempt at inventing the light bulb. Read the
inspiring words of Femi Jacobs and turn that
failed story to a successful one after the cut.
In life, it is better not to attain a high level instead of
arriving there and crashing down again. The fall from a great height is always
a very hard one and not to mention the mockery one will be subjected to. I believe
some of us have witnessed someone having to deal with such difficult situation
and probably too short of words or means to render help. However, there are ways
to attain and maintain an elevated lifestyle.
As a woman and a mother to be, my
heart goes out to you especially with the high rate of moral decadence. I know
some of your parents will not agree with some of the things I will write about
but I do know they will agree that you need to be dedicated to God almighty
right from the day of your birth because, He is supreme. The part they may
disagree with, will be in the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal
saviour. However it is important for you to note the following:
In the world of business, to avoid
mistakes one must learn to make the following decisions especially from the inception of
that business. There’s is no business man or woman that won’t succeed if these
five inceptive steps are taken.
Here
we are with Friday.com post as promised. It is a question for all single
ladies and gentlemen base on the twit above. A young lady turned down a man's request to date her because he doesn't smoke, drink alcohol and club because she believes he will be boring. So, ladies would you turn down a man's proposal base on those reasons? And gentlemen if you're the one whose proposal was turned down what will be your reaction?
It
is Friday, the day many always look forward to each week. Base on the
originality of OPJ, it is a day of less serious post usually referred to
as Friday.com (Friday don come). However, the Lord won’t let me be until I write
about putting the carcass in the casket and getting it buried. Maybe someone
needs to read this. After this, I believe Friday.com will be up next.
Judas NEVER realizes the magnitude of what he has done until
he has already done it, Matthew 27:3.
Just came out of prayer. God says: THIS is the season to pray for EVERY Judas
in your life that is now coming to themselves. When the veil of deception
lifts, depression soon follows because their eyes are opening.
Hello,
welcome to Ono Pink Journal (OPJ), In the voice of the black man in the movie ‘pretty
woman’ I ask ‘what’s your dream? Some dreams come true, some don’t but keep on
dreaming. However, let it be your dream, not you claiming someone else’s own. Because
you will lack the beam of that dream when you pursue a dream just for the
reason that; others are succeeding in it.
Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall
the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once?

I love the world we live in because of the uniqueness of humans.
Another man’s meat they say is another man’s poison. Well, I have two real
experiences to share on marital relationship today. One will make you sad and
the other if I am able to express it properly should make you laugh. Both are
centred on fouling the air (fart) which is jokingly called ‘mess’. How that ruined relationships. I will go will the
sad story first.
By
now we are use to the rush to be relevant in life. If not to the world at large
but in the small circle of people we belong to. The drunken man still wants to
be heard, hence his ability to voice out the truth in his state of stupor. To
avoid being crushed in all of the world’s rush learn to:
Monday
is almost coming to an end and I know the race to wherever place of earning a living for today is drawing to a close too but then, we still have the whole week ahead so, take some time to grace yourself up inorder to get a raise this week. Let’s
begin by sharing this graceful testimony of a former team mate whom God has
elevated greatly. He applied for a lecturing job at the Federal University (FUTO), Imo
State in 2013. Of course with the high rate of unemployment so did tens if not
hundreds of thousands of people.
In life, I believe many have come to understand one peculiar
thing about curses and that is the fact that one is ignorant of many of the
curses working against man. This state of ignorance is what makes some curses
to be effective in the life of certain people. I have also come to understand
that we have become so familiar with foreign ways and the rush hour activities that certain African
Christians do not engage so much in warfare prayers.
I have come to understand one thing in the business world, in
every merger the two or more companies will lose their identities to assume a new one.
But when one is taking over the other; the one being taken over will lose its identity.Yeah, my business
understanding, I stand to be corrected if wrong. So, what’s the point in this?
I will come shortly to that but as my usual way; let’s still do alittle bit of
analogy.
