Religion / How We Must All Pray Enroute 2015 Polls by DIYTechnologies: 6:17pm On Dec 17, 2014
Matthew 26:39 NIV: Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. YET NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS YOU WILL.”

In the midst of the babel of voices within and around us (for & against our preferred candidate), enroute 2015 polls, let's us be careful to adopt the Lord's approach - always putting the will of the Father ahead of ours. No matter the pressure (from what people are saying, what the headlines read & even from available facts & figure), NEVER cease to put that 2,000 cubit space of respect and submission (in your heart) between your own will and the will of God (Joshua 3:3-4) concerning your leaders (federal, state & even in your organization):

Romans 13:1 NIV: Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

So those who are for the present administration, pray in this manner:
“My Father, if it is possible, may this present administration continue beyond 2015. YET NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS YOU WILL.”

For those who desire a change in administration, pray in this manner:
“My Father, if it is possible, may this present administration be taken away from government come 2015 & be replaced with ...... YET NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS YOU WILL.”

The human mind cannot fully comprehend the spiritual battle over Nigeria. Our best bet is to pray earnestly, fervently & in right-standing with God, in the above manner.

Jam 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH.

We will achieve better results this way, rather than lend our voices to the devil.

SELAH.

USA manager Jurgen Klinsmann:

“Tim Howard played phenomenal. He was outstanding and he kept us in the game. We knew we would have chances if we kept going forward but he was absolutely amazing.
“You can give him the biggest compliments in the world. “The longer he keeps you in the game you hope that you will get the breaks going forward. You can build on the back of
Tim. Games are decided by little things and thanks to Tim we had that possibility throughout 120 minutes.”

Rihanna: Great job USA I’m proud of you boys! You put your
heart in it!
Tom Hanks: Tim Howard remains a god.

Tim Howard International Airport

Tim Howard’s heroics in USA’s World Cup round of 16 defeat to Belgium have led to a White House petition to rename an American airport after him.

Supporters want to rebrand Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after the Everton stopper, but a further 98,000 signatures are needed if the plan is to be considered. Anyone can post a petition on the US government’s ‘We the People’ website and if 100,000 signatures are gathered, the administration will respond.

Technology Market / Re: Best Inverter (deep Cycle) Battery Brand In Nigeria by DIYTechnologies: 9:09pm On Dec 14, 2013
Pls I need to know which Inverter (not batteries) that is reliable. I have been using Mercury (2KVA) for about 3 years now and safe for few issues (which I fixed), I have enjoyed it thus far. But I want to install the same unit on my office. I have come to see other inverters. I want to know whether to stick to my Mercury or look for something better. The Mercury Inverter needs to be used with a stabilizer and draws a lot of current when used with a Generator.

So, what other good inverter is out there for not more than N28,000?

I intend to use it for the followings:

1. 4 Laptops

2. 2 Ceiling Fans

3. 4 energy saving bulbs

4. other menial gadgets like phone chargers, wifi hotspot etc

Below is the picture of the one i have in mind:

Religion / The True Destiny Of Mankind by DIYTechnologies: 1:06pm On Aug 18, 2013
God surveyed the tragedy of the rebellion of Lucifer and realized that God could only trust God. After the War of the Angels, God started over after repairing the Earth. With Adam and Eve, God began a grand plan to reproduce God through mankind. Beginning with Adam and Eve, God is creating an eternal God Family and mankind is destined to become eternal sons and daughters of the Almighty God. This is why Paul called those who are led by the spirit of God, the "sons of God."

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. KJV

The language Paul used in Romans 8 is not taught in mainstream christianity today. "What do children become after they grow up?" The answer is, "They become like their parents." Paul states that mankind's destiny is to be heirs of God, joint-heirs with Christ. The children of God grow up to become God! Christ said that he was one with the Father. Christ made himself to be God and was considered by the Jews of his day as a blasphemer for such a statement. It was blaspheme during Christ's time and is sounds like blaspheme today. Mankind's destiny is to become God and this was the true message that Christ brought to this world.

Christ came to this Earth to be the first to be born into the family of God. The scripture states that Christ was the firstborn of many brethren. Paul, by equating Christians to being brothers or sisters of Christ, was stating that a Christian's ultimate destiny is to be God just as Christ is God. John 1 makes it plain that Christ is the creator God.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. … 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. NIV

In Romans, Paul states it is mankind's destiny to be glorified as Christ is glorified.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. KJV

Paul understood mankind's true destiny. In Paul's writings to the Romans, he makes it plain that mankind's destiny is to someday become equal to Christ as members of the God Family. Christ will always have the authority as head of the body and will rule as King; but as his brothers and sisters, mankind's Incredible Human Potential is to be eternal family members in the Kingdom of God.

Satan is an eternal being and can never die. Satan is jealous of the mankind's holy destiny. He deceived Eve into believing that the Tree of Good and Evil had the same properties as the Tree of Life, which represents the destiny of eternal life. The Tree of Good and Evil represents sin which is transgressing the law of God. Sin results in death.

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. KJV

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death… KJV

Satan entices Eve with her eternal potential, yet seduces her to try and achieve it by disobeying God. By deceiving Adam and Eve to sin, Satan made it impossible for mankind to achieve eternal life. Had Adam and Eve obeyed God and resisted Satan, they would have achieved eternal life and the Plan of God would have taken a completely different path. However, God knew in advance that Adam and Eve would fail their test. But since Christ succeeded where Adam and Eve failed, mankind can still achieve its true destiny.

Proving Mankind's Destiny

MANKIND IS THE OFFSpRING OF GOD: Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. KJ Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh, which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

MANKIND WILL BE HEIRS OF GOD: Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

MANKIND IS JOInT HeIRS WITH CHRIST: Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together

MANKIND SHALL INHERIT ALL THINGS: Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

MANKIND SHALL RECEIVE MANSIONS: John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

CHRISTIANS SHALL SIT ON GOD'S THRONES: Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

CHRISTIANS WILL BE GiVEN CROWNS OF GLORY: 1 Peter 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. NIV

MANKIND SHALL RECEIVE THE SAME GLORY AND IMAGE AS THE LORD: 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

MANKIND WILL RECEIVE THE SAME TYPE OF BODY AS CHRIST: Philippians 3:21 Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. NKJV

CHRISTIANS WILL BE GIVEN POWER: 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

MANKIND WILL BE MADE RULERS: Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

MANKIND SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD AND ANGELS: 1 Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

MANKIND WILL BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY: 1 Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the Earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

MANKIND WILL BE LIKE GOD: 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

MANKIND WILL PARTAKE OF GOD'S DIVINE ATURE:2 Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. NKJV

These scriptures, when taken literally, show that mankind's true destiny is to someday be like God as Christ is God, with the same type of body as Christ and the same power and abilities as Christ. This is the awesome truth that Satan has deceived the world from knowing. This message of mankind's true destiny was the gospel that Christ preached. In addition to that, Christ revelaed what the Plan of God was for mankind to actually achieve this destiny.
Religion / Re: Are There Additional Benefits Attached To Midnight Prayer? by DIYTechnologies: 8:17am On Aug 12, 2013
italo: When you pray at night, you deny yourself of sleep communicate with God..as you deny yourself of food whe you fast.

Even Jesus himself did both.

Luke 6:12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. 13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles.

Absolutely! This reason and the need for a serene environment, devoid of any distraction are good reasons why praying in the midnight has its special advantage. Self-denial in any form is deeply appreciated by God in order to co-labor with Him to establish His will either in your life, another person's or a situation. When God sees that you actually denied yourself the sleep the body requires and actually demands for, He is particularly impressed.

However, we must do all of this with the right motive, a clean and straight heart attitude towards prayers, the situation we are praying for and the persons involved (either favourably or unfavourably).

God bless

Fashion / 7 Important Things To Consider When Buying A Suit by DIYTechnologies: 2:44pm On Jun 04, 2013
What are the important things to consider when buying a suit? I asked myself this question sometime in the past and after some research and investigations, I came to some interesting conclusions which I want to share with you in this post.



1. The shoulders

This is one of the most conspicuous parts of any suit you wear. Do not judge how well-tailored the suit jacket shoulders are by gazing at it on a rack or hangar but right on you. They should perfectly fit your shoulder frame. Those with minimal or no shoulder pads are often the best.

2. Lapels

The lapel is that long part of a suit jacket similar to a shirt collar that often reaches from the neck down to the first button of your suit. There are different types of lapels. Common examples are the notch and peak lapels. For maximum result, the width of your suit lapel should correspond with the width of your tie. Wider lapels are fitting for wider ties and narrow lapels are fitting for narrow ties. So next time you want to buy a suit, factor in the widths of your ties.

3. The breast pocket/pocket square

Most suit jackets’ breast pockets today are usually angled. They often come tacked up to maintain its shape during packaging and transportation. In other to use a pocket square with it, you have to remove the tacking.

Most people think pocket square are meant to be wore only during formal dinners and social events but I beg to differ. The pocket square draws attention from your stomach to the chest and highlights your tie and shirt.

You also need to check if the lapel of the suit jacket overlaps one end of the breast pocket. For men with wider chest, it is recommended that there should be no overlap. If you have a narrow chest however, the overlap should be perfect for you.

4. The button stance

This refers to how high or low the buttons on the suit jacket are. Low buttons enable you to show off your shirt and tie. For best result with low button suits, you need to wear longer ties that would not easily slip out of the suit anytime you bend forward. Low button suits are also very good for shorter men with short upper body since it gives an appearance of a long upper body. High button suit works completely in the opposite direction.

You also need to note that since you are not expected to button the last button of your suit, a high button suit would most likely showcase the buckle of your belt.

My daughter is a year and 3 months. Her hair at the back area of her head is not growing like the one in the front area, which is growing well. Infact the hair at the back of her head is almost non-existent, in spite of all the thing my wife and I are doing to make it grow. Some people have suggested we cut it and allow it to grow out proportionally.

Shoul I go ahead and cut her hair? Will it all grow out proportionally as they said it would? OR are there things we can still do or use to make it grow without cutting it?
