It's Friday, let's take a breather and do something different and easy. Have you
noticed there are two categories of cooks? The ones that cook delicious meal but
never seems to believe their meal taste as pleasant as the compliments they get and the ones that
do not cook well and won’t accept their meal does taste unpleasant. They will
rather believe you’ve got a sour taste for food uhmmm. In most family we do have these two
kinds of cooks.
This piece written by Kemi Oyedepo
gives a great insight to what the journey to greatness could look like. I hope
you enjoy reading every word.
All children make mistakes when learning how to walk but do not grow with
those mistakes once the walk is mastered. The fact that they stumbled and fell
several times won’t make them to keep stumbling and falling, then stand and
walk few distances and stumble again when they are adults. That’ll be
outrageous because you and I won’t be exempted.
Who
are you?
You do know because you've read and heard about the great potentials that make up your existence.
Once
upon a time, there was a boy who always felt safe whenever he was around his
family, whenever he was with family he never felt safer. He trusted his family
so much that he believed that with them no harm could reach him, he felt
invincible.
Saw this
on my way to work this morning about an Igbe festival, I couldn't help lol
@Dr(Mrs) as ebi so doctor na doctor even if na 'native or formal'.
There’s no
challenge great enough to stop you from making use of your God given talent.
That’s exactly what Simeon Djagbo popularly known by his ministry name as KLIN
BASS because of his expertise in playing the bass guitar.
Have you
ever wondered how easy it is to cry when we have to deal with overwhelming
emotions or difficult issues? When happy (it is usually referred to as ‘tears
of joy’), sad, edgy, confused or frustrated etc. The tears could be so hot
sometimes one tends to feel the heat on the face. Never mind the fake tears
usually referred to as ‘crocodile tears’. I haven’t seen a crocodile cry
before, have you? If yes maybe you could share the experience lol!
This couple
were about to get married- but Bishop T.D Jakes putted them to the test! You won’t
believe what happened next. Watch video after the cut.
We live in a
world where everyone delights in living the good life but not everyone is
prepared to find delight in plight which reveals one’s competency and ability
as exhibited by a man who thought a lot and whose thoughts formulated the words
of actions that kept him a step ahead of his lecturer.
In a time
like this, the simple steps that has been outlined in this article by Nwaokolo Emmy Peace should see you coming out stronger,
greater and better no matter how great the challenges or how recessive the
recession. Click here to read episode one and you will know the gradual addition of numbers
will still get to amount to the same sum during multiplication. E.g, 3+3+3= 9
and 3*3=9 or 5+5+5+5+5=25 and 5*5=25. Add or multiply, tomorrow could be greater.
Sex is a long thing. Let's forget about the spiritual implication and the actual act to think on the aftermath (outcome or end product). I pray you realise how lengthy sex could be when you're done with your thoughts. The resultant effect of such act is the reason many men are
fathers to other men babies because they couldn’t keep their zipper up or
shelter themselves the way the world encourages them to do.
Have you
ever gotten insulted when you should be praised, got looked down on when you
should be raised up, got ridiculed when you should be encouraged. If you’ve
ever experienced the opposite of the true nature of a situation you found
yourself then you’re welcome to get on the line with King David, the young sheep
keeper in 1 Samuel 16:11 And Samuel said
unto Jesse, Are here all thy
children? And he said,
By now you
should be used to the saying “life is in phases and a race”. Each phase is
likely to leave one in pain or gain depending on what was or wasn’t pursued. There’s
always a height to attain before moving from one phase to another. No student
gets promoted to the next class without writing an exam.
The climb up
On a quest
To reach the crest
To get over distress
For far is the walk
From yesterday
To today.
One of the most underutilized and misused resource is
KNOWLEDGE. Its ability to build and destroy is undisputable. Abundance of it is
as poisonous as the shortage of it. For the former easily could breed over
confidence (popularly referred to as; I too know, ITK and above the law
attitude). Such a one never believes he or she could be wrong in anyway. And
the latter could easily breed inferiority complex. Even when such a one is
right he or she will still be in doubt.
Recently, a friend of mine drew my attention to this in an
article she wrote recently talking about the essence of marriage. Click here to
read if you missed it. How much the wish to have married an ex makes up the
bulk of the issues some married couples are having today.
It is generally acceptable for one to be startled when sting
by animate or inanimate objects. Sometimes from the shock or the piercing pain,
many will blindly thrash out with hands or legs flying. Remember that awkward
moment when you unconsciously slapped yourself because of mosquito bite? Yeah,
that’s what shock could do to us. I do
remember as a young child, I was told to kill any ant that sting me and use it
to rub the spot. That will help lessen the pain lol! Some of the things our
fore-fathers believe in ehn....
Today, I am dabbling into a warbling topic which is
usually not my pattern these days but after hearing and witnessing some of the
experiences, I am forced to share these thoughts on this particular issue.
Maybe, someone will get to avoid been trapped at the long run or have the
energy to walk away from it on her own.

Often times I wonder the reason behind Marriage. Two people
decided against all odds to come together, to love, respect and keep each other
happy always but the reverse is d case after marriage. The two people who were
so much in love now drift apart and can no longer enjoy their company(mostly
the men; always want to go out, travel from one place to another claiming they
are providing for their family....yet stingy to their wives).
Raymond Knister
An excerpt
from Raymond Knister of blessed memory novel "White Narcissus” which portrays a man's courage to keep trying after several bitter rejection from his childhood sweetheart who refused him because she couldn't afford to leave her estranged parents by themselves. This should help you understand the place of materialism, freedom, sacrifice and human existence.
A slight or
minor injury could become a major one if not well treated early enough.
That's what happens when we let a mistake depressed us to lose the ability to
make major or life transforming decisions about our lives.
A letter to all Mistresses by Mamuzo Ogbeta Nwokoro (picture above). You'll be doing yourself a great favour by reading this letter line after line to the end. I'm short of words to describe the unbiased and matured presentation of her views. Have a good read after the cut and for once I ask you to please share this information with others. There are many more people it could help reform.
The quickest way to fail even when you could be a success is
overconfidence. It never allows you to pay proper attention and do a double
check. The quickest way to lose after winning is pride. This is an intoxicant.
And an intoxicated person is one with no focus, sense of direction and short
sighted. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
What are you being exposed to that have coloured your
judgement and has made you lose focus and direction of your ultimate
destination in life, heaven? It will be for some time and it will lose that
beauty that has blinded you from knowing right from wrong and refusing the
leadership of the Lord Jesus. Unfortunately, it just might be too late when that
happens. That’s the mission of the devil. But you can escape it if you:
