43.AMP:And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked and said, There is nothing. Elijah said, Go again seven times.
44.AMP:And at the seventh time the servant said, A cloud as small as a man’s hand is arising out of the sea. And Elijah said, Go up, say to Ahab, Hitch your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.
45.AMP:In a little while, the heavens were black with wind-swept clouds, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went to Jezreel.
46.AMP:The hand of the Lord was on Elijah. He girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel [nearly twenty miles].

CAPTION: WORKING IN THE SUPERNATURAL REALM OF FAVOUR
TEXT: GEN.37:2,GEN. 39:2

37.2-AMP:This is the history of the descendants of Jacob and this is Jacob’s line. Joseph, when he was seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers; the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s [secondary] wives; and Joseph brought to his father a bad report of them.


39:2-AMP:But the Lord was with Joseph, and he [though a slave] was a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
MESSAGE

JOSEPH AS A CASE STUDY

There is a realm that God expects everyone to walk.
To be favoured, is to find favour in the sight of God and man.
An irresistible presence,unique,accuracy to every problem,special attention and recognition. We should be in the realm of favour at all times(every moment)

ATTRIBUTES OF A DEVINELY FAVOURED MAN

** RESPONSIBLENESS: To be responsible to everything under your care.
A life of destiny is a life that carries responsibility,can be trusted,obedience and having Godly behaviour (Gen.37:2- Joseph at age of 17yrs was already been trusted to cater for the flock and also to monitor the affairs of his brethren).

** DEVINE PRESENCE: When God is dealing with a man,no matter where he is place or hidden, he will shine forth( be successful), in Gen.39:2,21-The Lord was with Joseph and he was prosperous. Also when he was in prison he was favoured by the keeper of the prison.

** RIGHTEOUSNESS: Joseph live a righteous life(Gen.39:7-9)
7.AMP:Then after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.
8.AMP:But he refused and said to his master’s wife, See here, with me in the house my master has concern about nothing; he has put all that he has in my care.
9.AMP:He is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept anything from me except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this great evil and sin against God?)
When the pressure from the woman was too much he FLEE from the appearance of evil.

CONFESSION

Father as from today give me the grace to live a righteous life.

PRAYER

Father please favour me in all aspect of my life.
Father let me be responsible to my generation and help me to enjoy your divine presence always.

indeed I'm among those that God needs as thanks givers, as from today I will be giving thanks always no matter the situation(I will continued to bless His name).

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on Friday urged Nigerians to learn from the examples of the party’s founding fathers and move the nation forward. Odigie-Oyegun said this in Abuja at an event organised by a coalition of Buhari Support Groups to mark the second year anniversary of the formation of the APC. The Chairman, who was represented by the party’s National Auditor, Dr George Moghalu, said the party today was enjoying the unity and determination of its founders. He challenged all party members not to rest on their oars and rise above board to fulfill the dreams of visions of the party. He said: “Let us learn from the fact that they put their personal interest at abeyance so that national interest would be at the fore. “They were united and determined. They forgave one another during the process of disagreeing to agree. They spent sleepless nights so that we could breathe the air of freedom. “The good news is that their sacrifice paid off at the end of the day. Victory came. The victory was not accidental, we all worked hard for it. “I call on you today to emulate those qualities above as we mark the formation of our great party two years ago. “For us to continuously be victorious we must not rest on our oars. As you will agree with me for you to constantly be successful, you must work hard and focus on retaining your victory.” He urged all to “plant the seeds of change” in all nooks and crannies of the country to fast track development. The convener of the event, Mr Lawal Munir said the celebration would further “enhance unity among the support groups. “We will drive the cause of attaining unity among the support groups and work towards the progress of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.” The APC was formed from a coalition of the All Nigeria People’s Party, Action Congress of Nigeria, All Progressives Grand Alliance and the Congress for Progressive Change exactly two years ago.

AAPS, what worked for me might not necessarily apply to you. However I'd share with you my story and give you some hints. You made emphasis on electricity. Shey u need nepa to charge up ur reading mode? Lol... kidding! Now, this was me back in the school.‎

Back in school, I had a very bad start. I was unserious and didn't believe so much in myself. I had this mentality of certain grades being stereotyped to different individuals (even though na the same schl fees we dey pay). So I was contempted with my early average performance till I decided to wake up and made a move for a change. My step to excellence was changing my mindset, routine and friends. I rode solo, till I found someone who had the say goal and objectives as myself. Just the two of us.‎ (na guy o)
We only went to the library to find books our colleagues don't have or we couldn't find on the Internet. I don't read in the library (my style). because my eyez susceptibility to any human that passes around me was high and my ears could pick whispers 50m away from me. Meaning I was easily distracted back then before mastering the art of concentration. So what I did was to go to isolated corners in the school to read from 5pm to 7pm (2hrs) and wake up by 4am/5am when everywhere is silent to read. Na wit my nokia touch light I used back den if nepa no giv us light. This became a habit. Statistically, around that time den brain finds its easier to assimilate. But ensure you retire early to have enough sleep and eat healthy.

Mingle with intelligent people that have similar goals as yourself. You can have one study partner. For me, more dan one na crowd. 

Try to revise what you are being taught each day after lectures using other books to support what you have been given in class. That way you learn more and have an easier understanding on the topic. And you go dey fire anyhow for class. I read a topic several times days before the lecture lectures on it. ‎

Don't miss classes. Even if the lecturer no sabi teach. There will be one of two things u'd pick up at the end of the day.‎ Twas during one nonsense talk (as many students will see it) dat I learnt how to quickly estimate the area of map by measuring the size of your palms and spreading it across the sheet. I bet I was amongst the few persons that picked this gist from this perceived loquacious lecturer nonsense talk.

I've aforementioned in an earlier post that you should learn to ask questions. Be it intelligent or stupid. And don't feel ashamed to also ask a junior. ‎

Try and have a good start. because as you climb the ladder, it gets more demanding intellectually. Learn to answer questions in exams correctly. How? Read broad to get a better understanding on the subject. (for the upteenth time). When answering, support your answers with sketches, diagrams or illustrations, that way, if the examiner doesn't make plenty sense from what you wrote (in case u tell something new), he can deduce from you illustration. Aim towards scoring 150 over 100 (150/100). That way, when all those bad belle lecturers try cut your mark, u'd still be within A range. E get where you go good reach, na your script lecturer go dey use as standard for marking scheme. I'm a living testament. 

The summary of this is that you should be prepared always and don't indulge in fire brigade method of preparation. Best of luck!‎

Thanks Sir

niyogeol:
Congratulations on your admission. Now that you've scaled the hurdle of UTME and POST UTME, you need to prepare yourself for the task ahead!

I feel your present state because I finished from the place you are now. Ifoundmyperfect has given you a clear picture of geology and geophysics already but I am going to chip in some tips to achieve academic success at AAUA.

* Don't be carried away by freedom of leaving home for the first time.

* Keep friends of like minds. Don't let anyone tell you geology/geophysics is difficult and blablabala.

In your first year, you will only take two geology courses (introductory geology I & II). Better part of your course load will be in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and other university courses that are compulsory. What I am saying in essence is for you to take all courses serious and don't think its only geology or geophysics courses that you need to channel your energy to.

I will update the other part later. Cheers.

thanks bro,thanks for ur advice I will keep it in mind

[quote author=ifoundmyperfect post=35958633]‎The choice is yours to make AAPS.
Geology/Geophysics, like any other professional course isn't noodles. Though many will say it's complex or somewhat complicated and in that regard one should avoid it. My own honest opinion is that in every difficult situation, there is always a porous layer to infiltrate to grasp a better understanding. The porous layer for geology and any other professional courses is getting to understand the basis (from scratch) and this comes with readiness and enthusiasm. You must be determined! Many people prefer Geophysics to Geology because of its assumed less complexity. That is very true! Geophysics is a branch/tool in Geology. Geology being the study of the earth, it's origin, evolution, composition, and processes that act/acting upon it to bring about its historic/present form. This sounds like a lot. It is! In your first degree as a Geologist, you'd be introduced to different courses (Geochemistry, Geophysics, Hard and Soft Rock Geology (Petrology), Engineering Geology, Structural Geology, Ore deposits, Stratigraphy, Hydrogeology, Geostatistics, Micropalenotology, Palynology, and a host of others. These syllabus will be covered within your 4-5years period before being awarded a degree. This will provide you a foundational knowledge in the field. During these period, there might be an area of key interest to you. You may choose to go for your Masters in that area or seek job opportunities for such openings. As a graduate of geology, your expertise is required not only in the oil and gas industry, but engineering, water cooperation, solid mineral exploration etc! 

With the knowledge of Geology in mind, you'd understand and appreciate the need for Geophysics. To put in simple words, it's understanding the earth with the aid of the knowledge of Physics. Physics and Mathematics go hand in hand. However, you still need the knowledge of Geology, as you'd still be taking some compulsory geology course, even when your major is geophysics. Need I mention, to be a full fledged Geoscientist, your knowledge in Mathematics, Englsih, Physics, Chemistry and Biology is vital. I highlight an example. Eng. Geology, Geophysics, Structural Geology (Mathematics & Physics (major),   Geochemistry, Mineralogy/Crystallography (Chemistry, Mathematics & Physics), Micropaleontology, Palynology (Biology) etc. 
As I started off, the choice is yours. If one is looking for an escape route, then I'd recommend going for a monotonous course (linguistics‎, human kinetics, G&C etc). 

Na sabi wetin you want and also achieve. I know Geology/Geophysics doesn't have it easy in most schools. That yet I opened this thread to encourage your kinds. IT IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT! Create an academic plan for yourself at the beginning of each semester. Establish a balance between your academics and flexing. No dey shame to ask questions, or to corner your lecture @ his office to ask question if shame no gree you ask, don't let pride prevent you from taking lessons from your younger ones wey sabi. We all have different degree of comprehension. No one is dull! You can come here or email me if you have academic challenges. I'd try to respond as quick as I can‎. 

Please don't let anyone make this choice for you. It should be entirely lost. You know you strength and weakness. It's not for you to run away from me but work on it! My Bsc was in Geology, Msc Geophysics. And the choice was entirely mine because I wanted to establish a balance.‎ Your Choice, Your Reasons... Choose Wisely! Goodluck!![/quote








pls sir I guess u graduated from AAUA,pls how
did u usually study in
school with electricity failure my studying
group mate(3)of us,two in
Geophysics but only me in Geology pls can we walk
together (I mean studying together)n total I
need studying tips.

Ojemedad:
Geophysics is the latest tool employed in the oil industry now, more diverse, less time consuming and flexible. With recent advancement in software Geophysics have an upper hand over Geology.


Just my thought someone else can give a contrary view.

Thanks sir,what about d calculations involve,what do i need to scape through

Ojemedad:
Go for geophysics, thank me later

pls give me reasons sir

pls in my school we are ask to choose BTW Geology and Geophysics,pls I need your advice my Mentors and Experts,I'm in 100level AAUA
