LIVE WELL

2009-04-13T12:34:00.003+01:00

It is appointed to man to live once,so,determine to live your life well.Do not waste life and do not abuse it, rather, make the most out of life. Do not be deceived about coming back to life after death. It is only Jesus Christ that will come back for the second time but for you and me, it is appointed for us to die once and after that judgment(Hebrew 9:27). There is nothing like reincarnation or second coming for man, all such are doctrines of the devil.

You can make your life so memorable that long after you have gone, your impact will still be felt and this is achievable if you discover the reason you you were sent to the world. There is a specific assignment for which God created and sent everyone into the world and for which He has adequately endowed all. Your natural endowment is for the fulfilling of your purpose, if however you have imprisoned that potential, then have yourself of its fulfillment.

Follow divine principles on your pursuit.No manufacturer brings out a product into the market without proving the manual for its effective operation and maintenance. God, our Maker and Creator of life, also gave us a handbook to follow as we go through life. This handbook is the HOLY BIBLE which is the encyclopedia of life. All areas, ranging from social, financial, carrer, mental, physical to spiritual are adequately coverd in Gods manual. If you study, meditate and live on it, your fulfillment is guaranteed.
If you obey the word of God, you will be great in the world of men.

You are created and sent here to bless and sweeten your environment. Do good to everyone that comes your way. You will forever remain salt. You will add color to life and your footprint will forever be on the surface of the earth. Your life will not turn sour in Jesus name

LEGACY

2009-04-11T17:46:00.002+01:00

We shall all pass through this life only once. There is nothing like reincarnation but it is possible to live, die and still remain alive in people's mind. To positively affect humanity during permanently alive. Long after people might have forgotten what you said, they will never forget the kind of life you lived.

No one is remembered for inanities of life:good food, sumptuous meals, luxurious cars, tstefully furnished apartment, sexual pleasure, music, traveling and all such things. A good life is the one lived to positively impact some other lives. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, take care of the windows and the orphans. Send indigent students back to school, take part in community developments, sponsor the gospel and spend money to get people into the mission field.

Time spent to make peace, settle quarrel, motivate others, visit the sick and the downcast can never be never be in vain, they will surely speak for you long after you have gone. Your first responsibility is to your family. Your immediate family first, then the extended family. Your immediate family first, then the extended family.
Provides shelter and security for them, send your children to good schools. Your home is your fortress, do not neglect it.

Love to help others. Never close your eyes to the sufferings of people around you. Whenever lies in your power to put smiles on peoples face, please do it.

You must never neglect the gospel work. The only record you will have in Heaven is what is done to further God's kingdom. A day will come when all that will matter will be what you are able to do for God in life. You will not miss Heaven in Jesus name.

Growth

2009-04-10T18:46:00.003+01:00

No one can help you live your life. Your parent gave you birth to you , took care of you, sent you to school and perhaps got you a job; but then, they can not help you perform excellently on your job. This is so because life is a personal adventure. Children born in the same house, feed with the same food, clothed the same way and sent to the same school always end up doing different things and achieving different results. that although we live together, each of us geows alone.Tow people ca be attending the same church, listening to the same message from the same pulpit, yet, what comes across to the individual member of the congregration from the mesage will be diffrent, how utilize the message will be diffrent and of course, the result they demonstrate will be totally diffrent too.

What you need is to discover who you are for discovery precedes recorvery. Learn to turn inward to discover yourself.Every single person is unique,so discover your uniqueness for until you know what is in you , you may die an imitation. The only way to be your best is to be yourself.

DARE TO DREAM

2009-03-01T01:02:00.002+01:00

"IF YOU CAN DREAM IT,YOU CAN DO IT"

Every great accomplishment in life begins as a dream. For instance, every greate winner is a great dreamer. You must not stop dreaming if you do not want to stop winning. Great edifices are products of architecture. Architects are greate dreamers; they ave a strong imaginative ability. As they dream, they scribble their dreams on a piece of paper which they further develop and belhold an architecturral master piece will soon be standing for all to see. Great husbands are great dreamers, great wives are great dreamers, and greate pastors are greate dreamers Joseph, in the BIible, began his journey to stardom with a dream.

Where and what do you want your things to be? Dream it! Imagine yourself being there. Have it in mind, dream of being a celebrity and a top personalty. Dream of your products in the world market, dream of a top personalty. Dream of your products in the world market, dream of a champions. However, whatever you are dreaming about must be drawn out so that others will join you to accomplish it . As you recieve inspiration,keep re-shaping it until it begings to take shape .

THINK DEEP

2009-03-01T00:31:00.002+01:00

"SHALLOW THINKERS CAN NEVER MAKE DEEP IMPRESSION"

Thinking is a non-transferrable responsibility. Those who do greate

think greate thoughts. When your thinking is deep, your actions will be informed and when you take informed actions, your life will be rich. The distance between where you are presenly and where you wish to be is the depth of your thoughts for no one can be better than his/her thoughts. Great achievers are greate thinkers but I have discovered that only few people think. Many do not think before they act and a lot act on hearsay and rumour.

Most Christians are guilty of this for they prefer to pray than to think. If you lack the thinking-grace, you will be shallow, your mistakes and regrets will be many. After you have prayed on the issue. you must still think it through. Make sure you take enough time to meditate on issues That means, pondering,considering,reflecting,and concentrating ones mind on deep analysis .Take time regularly alone to think. note crucial points in your life and destiny, then subject it to serious meditation .Learn also to meditate oc GOS's word for it gives clues to many issues of life.

You must be well informed before you can be a deep thinker. To be informed means to get facts about issues at hand. Without facts, your thinking will be cloudy and your actions will be wrong. In all you do, consult GOD for direction. GOD only speaks to the man or woman who takes time to pray.

SUCCESS IS NOT HEREDITARY

2009-02-28T22:56:00.002+01:00

"You cannot Inherit success, You must work for It"

You can inherit money,cars ,houses,estates and so many other materials things but you cannot inherit success. Your parents worked for theirs, you must work for yours.it is an insult when you can only be identified and described what your parent did , you should make yuor own name. This means that success is not money or position but rather an internal virture which is acuired by dint of hardwork.

Succeess is what you are not what you have. You may be highly successful without having much things and you may be highly successful without having much material things and you can be rich and still be miserable.

Our cociety is full of many misrable rich people. For instance, a man that has no happy home , a failed parent, aperson that cannot walk freely among his own people, a man that is ill spoken off in the community etc. is unsuccessful no matter what he or she has. Success is making positive impact in life. It is fulfilling the purpose of your living and also being happy doing what you are doing because of the positive result you daily record. Success is also leaving a rich legacy for the coming generation. When you are successful, you live happy and die happy.

Some people are no more but ehat they did during their life time still speak for them till today.

Some of them did not have much material wealth while alive but made impact on their community . How can a man who brought civilization and lots of amenities to his people be forggotten for ever? What about a man who mobilzed his kinsmen to political consciousness and masde them see reasons successful not just a multi-millioniare that has fleet of cars and palatial buildings around the city.

For one to be successful therefoer, there are pathways:

Be a man or a woman of purpose: Live for purpose for until purpose is discorverd , exstence has no meaning. Purpose is the discorvery of what you are living for. It is the key to fulfillment in life.When you hit your purpose, you command attention.

Be focussed: After discorvering purpose, you must stay focussed. The ability to refuse distraction no matter the situation is all about.

Be Determined:It is determination that will help you stay focussed. It will help you to soldier on no matter what is happening. In the end you come up a successful person.

When you belive in yourself, you belive in GOD

2009-02-11T09:36:00.002+01:00

Who do you believe in ?
Is it human being ? this is a very important question that we need to ask our selves because our life is what we need to put a check on , when u put a trust on anybody, and he or she never dissapoint you , that do not mean that he or she is reliable, human being is unreliable because their is dynamic in nature, so if you depend od them, they can dissapoints you anytime which can lead to heart failure, so be yourselfe!

Quotable Qtes Of Life

2009-01-30T17:29:00.002+01:00

1 Hold nobody guilty for your trouble If It should ,int be be you, It wouldint have been you ,The only time you are a victim of that circumstance, is the only time you are your Trouble gate might just be a worthy instrument of fulfilment too.

Three Realities Of Life

2009-01-29T16:36:00.000+01:00

1. In most every cases of circumstances in life, There are good lucks associated with bad developments, A situation hidden to a fool sihted man,but visible to a wise blind man.Your critical condition, might surface a greate fortune.

2. If you dont try to appreciate what you have, You may die of what you turned "Die Hard"
To possess.
For execessive wealth gathering in life, is to life itself.

3. Men usuallylearnt not to repent, not until he regrets. Your errorneous commitment, you may not turn-down, not until it crashes you

HIERARCHY

2009-01-23T17:08:00.003+01:00

"Where There Is No HIERARCHY There Will Be Anarchy"

Wherever there is no order ,disorderliness will thrive.By hierarchy, I mean ranking in order of superiorrity or importance. It is also placement according to status.

On the other hand, anarchy is absence of governing rules, which results in lawlessness, rebellion, mutiny, mayhem, riot, disorder and disorganization. The society canot co-exist without a clearly defined order or a form of governance. Therefore , for sanity to prevail there must be hierarchy in the home, government and also in corporate organization.

In every family setting, the husband is the head. It is only when the man is allowed and permitted by the wife to be the king that the wife can also be the queen, and the children will be prince and princesses. Where the woman proves to be superiorr or claims equity with the man, pains, infightings and anarchy will reign.

GOD'S order must be followed to be at peace at all times.

The civil society cannot co-exist without save gorvanance. here should be government that exercises authorithy over the people for the good of the people by the people and for the ppeople, has been found to be the best system of government or discorvered by man for civil gorvernance.

In coporate organization too, there must be a recognizable head. somebody must have the final say over the affairs of the enterprise if things must work according to plan. The head however must remember that he/she holds thatpower or office in trust and it is temporal.

LOVE: A DREAM ?

2009-01-15T17:57:00.002+01:00

When people say love is blind, I say to them that It is marriage that will restore the sight. Before marriage, opposite sex attracts but in marriage, opposite sex attracts but in marriage, the repel. Do not go into marriage blindly , those who have so gone are regretting.
Do not be forced into it either because if you do, you will equally be forced out . Go into marriage you will equally be foced out. Go into marriage with will equally be forced out. Go into marriage with your two eyes wide open. This is because whatever you do blindly will have problems. Some are already into it for no one told them love is a dream. When you dream for instance, sometimes you may see youeself as the head-of -state, abig multinational organisation, in a push car etc before someone knocks on your door and you come back to reality to discover you have been dreaming.

However, you turn your love dream into reality if you will note and do the followings:

Do not rush into love: Love is like a tender plant, It takes to grow.Somebody may just like you but say he\she loves you
Likeness and love are not the same. Some can like you if he sees what he wants in you.
If there are benefits he thinks he can derive from you but as soon as those things are no more that is rhe end.

But love means despite who and what you are or may turn out to be in future, he will always be there for you

When you wke up,, face life. You do not win a battle by running away from it , for those who have woken up to the reality that what they dreamt of was not what they found ; I say; take heart because you still turn that marriage around , only that it will be at a price . The price of patience, endurance, forbeaarance, forgiveness and of hope.Do not give up on marriage no matter what.

Love is of God : That means you need GOD to fullfill your dream until one loves GOD one cant love hes fellow .

ISOLATION

2009-01-08T16:36:00.004+01:00

ISOLATION

Life is not meant to be lived in isolation, all alone by oneself. God knows man cannot survive all alone, that is why He created us to help and to keep each others company. For example, a child canot be born except the father and the mother come together. In many cases, other children, brother, sisters and relatives will be anxiously waiting for the arrival of the baby. This is why anxiously waiting for the arrival of the baby.This is why every childs birth is celebrated amidst fanfare and jubilation. Everyone comes to the world with great applause and celebration but if you choose to be alone, you would not be celebrated.

You need arelationship to be relevant. Even human being is limited but you can always remove your limitation by making otgers your extention. You need others just like they need you too. Every great empire, be it government, bussiness, ministry, or organiyation is made great hands. I have discoverd that what makes great are the people around him.

Astrong man can only emerge through strong backings of friends and associates. So, it is a blessing to be surrounded by good people.

You are created for greatness. Not minding your presnt situation, your life will soon turn around for better but you must be connected to good people. No matter your dream of greatness, It can only materialize through people. Though, people are not your source but they are your means of reaching the top. God uses people to lift destinies.

Be connected to the right people. Do not just associate with anybody you see for as God uses people to bless so also the devil uses people to kill and to destroy. Beware!!!

Realities

2009-01-06T17:02:00.002+01:00

Faith And Hardwork

What is Faith ? Faith is the ability to believe in something or situation without proof. Faith is great and powerful , if you have it you are potent spiritually.

Everybody practise faith everyday, but due to peoples ignorance, they do not know.

Eg:-It is by faith we sleep and we wakeup alive again, It is by faith we read, sit for the exam and pass. It is by faith we travel through air flight and reach your destination safe.

Fath is also any action you take that pproof successful without doubt on it. Eg: - For you to travel in am long journey and experience an accident at the middle of the journey, that means faith has lost. For you to lay your hand on anything and fail, It shows that faith has lost too.

Most of the unsuccessful project, Bussiness,Journey,careeretc. are lacking faith and what made up faith is success, what made up success is hardwork.

So it is glaring that hardwork and faith works together which implies that most of the failures we are seeing happning to people is lack of faith and hardwork .

A Project, Bussiness, Journey, carrer etc are successful because of faith or believe and hard work. In any action you want to take , the two is vital, without them , failure is possible.

The two have there functions and when one is missing, the remaining will be useless. The function and meaning of the two are

Hardwork:- It is two be seriuoslly dedicated and be diligent on once job or endevour, these gives room for preparation and an adage says"To fail to prepare is to prepare to fail"

So it is glaring that without preparation, on one's endevour or job, failure is knoking at the door.

Faith or Believe:-It is a state of mind, When you embark on Eg:- Journey,Project,Bussiness,Carrer etc and in your mind you doubt on them, then something is missing, It implies that you donot have selfconfidence and when their is know self confidence, their is no trust, also where trust is missing, things are not done appropraitly, so when their is no believe or faith, nothing works successfully.

So in all our endevour, faith and harwork is important and without the two, nothing works successfully.

How Thoughts Become Things

2008-12-29T16:37:00.001+01:00

This is a post from Jeff Baker on ezinearticles

I have been looking and I have been finding, asking and receiving, knocking and doors are opening. If you want to know more, it's easier if you just go here -- http://www.jeffbakertalks.com/mystory.html

I have been enjoying my holiday today, and I have spent a large portion of it reading my favorite bloggers. I discovered a few new ones today, so I have been inspired to write about how our thoughts become things.

Thanks to the brilliant insights of Robin, a friend of mine whose link I am not allowed to have here, (but if you e-mail me I will gladly give you her web address... lol) I was reminded of the importance of really being aware of my thinking.

I often speak about world peace. It is my loftiest dream and seemingly the most futile. At the same time, I recognize the fact that I alone do not have the power of mind to single-handedly create world peace. I like to think I can do anything... but for today, I humbly admit that world peace is a collective effort. So what are we waiting for?

Maybe the term "waiting" is a little off the mark, but sometimes the things I desire most tend to take a little while before showing up. Have you noticed? Actually, there are also times when I think something and for whatever reason, poof! -- there it is. These events, however, are usually related to parking spaces :-)

So, as I was thinking about thinking, I was reminded of a term used by Esther Hicks when discussing the delayed manifestation of a given desire. She calls this effect "the buffer of time." What she is describing is the space between the thought and the thought becoming the thing. Stay with me here, this is good stuff.

This idea really helps me to have patience, and it is rather beneficial to us as humans at this juncture in our evolution when you stop to think about it. (It will be interesting to read this back and count the number of times I use the word think.) When I think something, or wish for, or pray for anything, there is the reality that we exist within the spacetime continuum. It can make me nuts when I have to wait for the money or the phone call or the lottery results, and I am ok with that. The truth is, I understand the benefit of the delay between the thought and the thought becoming the thing. I'm sure none of us would like the hateful thought we had toward our friend or spouse to immediately become reality, would we?

If I have the power of mind to push my thought beyond time and space but my thought isn't pure, I am in trouble. Do you get my drift? I am thankful that I don't get instant results with each thought. At the same time, that awareness aids me in becoming the master of my thoughts I can't always control my thoughts and that is not really my aim as much as it is to improve my thoughts... especially my thoughts about others. I don't want to inflict pain on someone by thinking something about them that could, in fact, do just that. I want to think good thoughts about everyone. It is a goal, not a reality so let me be blunt.

Watch what you're thinking! There will come a day when we will collectively possess the power to create anything we want, just by thinking it. We are in this physical plane of existence to work that fact out in our minds now in order to improve the state of our world later. If we all truly wanted world peace, we would already have it in our present reality. The fact that we do not, speaks to the way many of us think. I actually know people who are "praying" for the end of the world. Ouch! Sort of shortsighted if you are actually praying for the end of the world. Maybe you should concentrate on what is happening in your world if you're so ready to pop out. I like it here, and I know my work is not done.

May you monitor your thoughts lovingly, without judgement. May you reflect on your thinking and simply improve the thought that you are not pleased with, again without judgement. And may you come to understand that what you think about others, even though they may not be aware that you are thinking of them, must become a thought created in love. It will help me in my quest to see this world enveloped in peace, and it will help you in creating thoughts that become good things.

Peace in your world, love in your life, and pure thoughts in your mind. -- jb

I would like to hear what you think about thinking, so drop me a line and let's get the peace train rolling. Thanks for reading.
