Buhari, Tinubu, Lai Mohammed, All APC governors, all APC card carry members are scam. Beware of any of them. Run as fast as your legs can carry you whenever you see any thing written with APC.

APC IS A BIG SCAM!!!

Don't mingle with them. Don't associate yourself with them. They are dangerous than Covid-19. They are all liars. Femi Adeshina has a master degrees in lying, same with Lai Mohammed. APÇ is so contagious with lie. Once you mixed with them, your life will change to a life full of lies. Remember what happens at Lekki massacre? Till tomorrow Sanwo-Olu is still denying of any involvements while the military said he was the one that called them. Tinubu will tell you that I don't have any single interest in Lekki toll-gate business or LAGBUS or even with TVC. They are all liars. They can't be trusted.
Buhari is a natural born liar.
A word they say is enough to a wise.
Run for your life....... Don't mingle with APC, they are CANCER!

How To Keep Your Peace And Joy

Sun, 20 Dec 2020

‘May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing.’ Romans 15:13

The Lord has promised us a sense of joy in the midst of every circumstance we face. Jesus said, ‘I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.’ (John 15:11 NIV) So how can you hold on to your joy and not lose it? The apostle Paul tells us, ‘May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.’ (Romans 15:13 AMPC)

Notice that all-important word ‘believing’. It’s ok to have questions, but you must never doubt God’s love and faithfulness towards you. Joyce Meyer writes: ‘I remember an evening when I was feeling strongly dissatisfied and discontented. I had no peace or joy and was absolutely miserable. I read Romans chapter 15:13, and it was indeed “a word in season” for me. My problem was simple: I was doubting instead of believing. I was doubting God’s unconditional love for me, doubting that I could hear from Him, doubting His call on my life, doubting that He was pleased with me. I was filled with doubt… doubt… doubt. When I saw the problem and got back into faith and out of doubt… my joy and peace returned immediately. I’ve found the same thing to be true again and again in my life. When my joy and peace seem to be gone, I check my believing—usually it is gone also.’

And the same principle applies to you today!

Peace In The Storm

Sat, 19 Dec 2020

‘And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.’ Philippians 4:7

Beverly LaHaye was terrified when her husband Tim began taking flying lessons. ‘Right away I started giving God my opinion and drawing my own conclusions. Fear was controlling me,’ she wrote.

Tim told her to pray about it and just be open to the Lord. ‘Let Him know you're afraid of flying, but that you’re willing to be changed.’ She did—but there was no overnight miracle. She had to continually give her fear of flying to God. But it worked!

Years later, when they were flying through a violent storm in a small plane, Tim noticed that, while he was sweating it out, Beverly was fast asleep. When they landed, he asked her, ‘How could you sleep so peacefully?’

She replied, ‘It’s God; only He could have brought me to the place where I could fly through that and be at peace.’ Sometimes God calms the storm, but most of the time He lets it rage—and calms us!

Don’t be discouraged when you have to turn your fears over to God, again and again. That’s how trust is learned.

Listen: knowing that Jesus cares for you, cast all your cares on Him, continually, the moment they raise their voices, before ever they take control of you. (See 1 Peter 5:7). Listen again: ‘Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything... if you do this you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.’ (Philippians 4:6–7 TLB)

What's the problem with all this snakes crawling around this days?

Nice one

Why will he kill himself? I still can't figure it out.

Are You A Good Listener?

Fri, 18 Dec 2020

‘Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak.’

The first century Greek philosopher Epictetus said: ‘We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we talk.’ Taking that on board means being ‘quick to listen, slow to speak.’ Good listening builds relationships. But good listeners aren’t born, they’re bred! So here are a few suggestions to improve your listening:

(1) Listen without interrupting. Resist the temptation to jump in and finish the sentence, or hijack the floor. Rein yourself in—just listen.

(2) Listen to understand. Try to grasp their point of view, feelings, thinking and needs. Good listening is hearing what they actually think, mean or feel, not what you imagine they do. Instead of guessing, ask, ‘Am I understanding you correctly? Do you mean…? Are you feeling…?’ In other words, don’t assume—verify.

(3) Listen without judging. Don’t rush to conclusions. If what they say doesn’t quite add up, keep listening. ‘He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.’ (Proverbs 18:13 NKJV) When you hear more, it may make sense.

(4) Listen without correcting, countering or devaluing. Saying, ‘That’s not the way it was,’ or, ‘What did you expect? If you hadn’t…’ or, ‘You’re just being too sensitive,’ puts people on guard and stops real communication.

(5) Validate the speaker. Accept their perceptions and feelings as valid expressions of a valued person. ‘If I understand you correctly, you’re thinking… feeling… Am I right?’ Ask them to help get you on the same page with them. ‘Given what you’ve told me, I can see why you’d feel what you feel,’ is very validating and will increase their confidence and willingness to consider the solutions you may offer.

Believe That God Has Heard You

Thu, 17 Dec 2020

‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.’ John 11:41

Before raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus prayed, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.’ When you know your prayer is in harmony with God’s will, you can wrap it up with the same words: ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard me.’ Understand this: after you’ve prayed, the devil wants you to go away and wonder whether or not God actually heard you, or if He’s willing to grant your request. But when you know God has heard your prayer, you have confidence. You think, act, and speak differently. Anxiety is replaced with peace.

Here are a few Scriptures for you to meditate on: ‘When you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.’ (James 1:6–7 NIV)

‘This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.’ (1 John 5:14–15 NIV)

‘If anyone says to this mountain, “Go, throw yourself into the sea,” and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them… whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.’ (Mark 11:23–24 NIV)

Today begin to thank God that He has heard your prayer, and that He will answer it in the way that’s best for you.

Get Rid Of It

Wed, 16 Dec 2020

‘Get rid of all bitterness.’ Ephesians 4:31

The words ‘get rid of all bitterness’ paint a picture of a surgeon cutting out a malignant growth in order to save the patient’s life. A similar verse, ‘Looking carefully… lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble’ (Hebrews 12:15 NKJV), commands us to be vigilant lest a tiny seed of bitterness becomes a root that springs up and causes problems.

Bitterness has many sources: an absentee or abusive parent we can’t forgive; a nasty divorce we keep reliving; the careless words of a friend who’s not even aware of their effect; a boss who passed us up for a promotion. What’s the answer? Forgive, before the problem becomes embedded in your emotions and starts feeding off your memories. Paul writes: ‘Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives. Instead, be kind… forgiving one another.’ (Ephesians 4:31–32 TLB) And the sooner you do it, the better!

The heaviest thing you’ll ever carry is a grudge. It will make you a misery to be around because your driving desire will be to see the guilty party punished, especially when you or someone you love is the perceived victim. What happens is this: Satan enters the picture and convinces you it’s ok to harbour resentment. After all, you’re just protecting yourself from getting hurt again, right? When that happens, you dig in, justify your position, and get comfortable living with resentment. That is, until it destroys you. But that doesn’t have to happen to you, because there’s no emotion so deeply rooted that God’s grace can’t reach down and remove it. So the word for today is—‘Get rid of all bitterness.’

True Understanding Comes From Your Bible

Tue, 15 Dec 2020

‘Through Your precepts I get understanding.’ Psalm 119:104

True understanding comes from God—it’s a gift only He can give. That’s why Solomon asked God for understanding instead of relying on his own. And God will bestow understanding on you through His Word. ‘For the Lord gives wisdom: from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ (Proverbs 2:6 ESV) David said, ‘Through Your precepts I get understanding.’

The Bible was written that we might have understanding and be able to interpret life the way God does. Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, told Timothy, ‘Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.’ (2 Timothy 2:7 NASB) As you immerse yourself in Scripture, God speaks to you. In essence He says, ‘This is how I see it, and this is how I want you to see it.’ In other words, He gives you His insight into the situation.

In the Bible you will discover how to become truly successful. You will find the answer to your financial troubles, how to cure worry, and how to solve relationship problems. It will direct you in your family relationships—the chain of authority in the home, including the position of the husband, the wife, and the children. It contains the cure for nervousness and depression. It’s even a purging tool for removing sin from your mind and life. ‘How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.’ (Psalm 119:9 NKJV)

In short, your Bible is the greatest success manual in the world! The psalmist said, ‘The teaching of Your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.’ (Psalm 119:130 NLT) So if you want true understanding, meditate on the Scriptures today.

Trump, O Trump!

Don’t Stagnate!

Mon, 14 Dec 2020

‘Let the wise listen and add to their learning.’ Proverbs 1:5

To succeed in life you must make personal growth one of your highest priorities. The fact is, you never stand still. You’re either going forwards or backwards, stretching or stagnating. Let’s take a moment and think about what happens when you allow yourself to stagnate. You lose your influence. Do your friends seek your advice and then act on it? Do your co-workers value your opinion? If you’re not bringing new ideas and information to the table on a regular basis, people will start looking elsewhere and you’ll end up becoming marginalised.

Today’s businesses move at the speed of light. New ideas, technology, leadership techniques, financial models, sales principles, and ways to communicate are constantly being scrutinised, discussed, evaluated and tested. Company leadership is looking for men and women who aren’t automatons. They’re looking for original thinkers, people who can look beyond normal everyday workplace interactions and find new solutions. Become the ‘go-to person’ when it comes to answers and ideas. Be the one who knows how to find new information, and who can provide innovative insights and perspectives. If you keep your eyes and ears open, your mind alert, and listen carefully, you’ll discover that great ideas are all around you. You’ll find a hundred people who can manage a good idea, for every one person who can come up with that good idea.

If you’re not influencing decisions, directions, or people, you need to implement a plan for personal growth—immediately! Solomon, who is often referred to as the wisest man who ever lived, apart from Christ, said, ‘Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.’

Billingsgate in the making. A welcoming idea.

Kudos.

Growth Is More Important Than Goals

Sun, 13 Dec 2020

‘The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.’ Proverbs 4:18

Phil Cooke writes: ‘Growth is what we do with knowledge. Growth is where we take our knowledge, how we apply it, and how we use it in our everyday lives. Leadership expert John Maxwell taught me long ago to change my orientation from goals to growth. When he said those words, it was a revelation. I’d always learned that goals were important, and I tried and tried to use a system of reaching goals, but I’d always struggled with it. I could see that goals motivated lots of people… but reaching goals always left me empty and unsatisfied. But when John showed me how to focus my attention on growth, everything suddenly fell into place. The process taught me that goals are great, but when we reach a goal, we’re finished. But with growth, it’s a never-ending process—always learning, always moving forward, always achieving. I hope when I reach the end of my life, there will be a couple of good books on my nightstand. I want to learn and grow until my last breath… Look at the people in your circle of friends. Why do some succeed and others seem to stagnate? Why do some move to higher levels of achievement while others stay at the same place for years at a time? Many people blame the system, the company, or their boss. They blame society, their upbringing, or their past. But a lifetime plan for growth can break through barriers and overcome nearly any obstacle.’

The Bible puts it like this: ‘The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.’ And the more they grow!

Hummmmm

God Is Working In You!

Sat, 12 Dec 2020

‘It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil His good purpose.’ Philippians 2:13

When it comes to doing what pleases God, there are two major hurdles you need to overcome—the ‘want to’ and the ‘able to’. Relinquishing your own plans and embracing God’s will doesn’t come easily. Your old fleshly nature wants what it wants, not what God wants. And even when God’s will is clear, and you want what He wants, you lack the necessary ability to do it. Fortunately, that’s where God steps into your dilemma by working in you to give you the ‘want to’ and the ‘ability to’. But the willingness and the capability both come from Him, not you. You ask, ‘Since God is working in me, why is there such a struggle to know and to do His will?’ The problem is, your natural mind is self-centred and tends to resist God’s will. So what’s the answer?

(1) Surrender your body and its appetites to God. ‘Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice.’ (Romans 12:1 NIV)

(2) Renew your mind. ‘Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.’ (Romans 12:2 NIV) In the original Greek, ‘renewing’ means to be ‘inwardly renovated’ by aligning your thoughts with God’s—to intentionally think like He thinks. In other words, God initiates the ‘want to’ and the ‘ability to’, and you cooperate by aligning your mind with His. When that happens, you can be confident ‘that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.’ (Philippians 1:6 NIV)

He who has not sinned before should cast the first stone?

......hummmm

Building Real Relationships

Fri, 11 Dec 2020

‘He loved them to the end.’ John 13:1

People spend hours every day on social networks like Facebook—in many cases because they’re lonely. Now, there’s nothing wrong with interacting with others this way. In fact, social media offers one of the greatest tools the church has ever had for reaching the world with the Gospel. But in a day when it’s getting easy to neglect real relationships, let’s remember why we’re connecting with others in the first place.

Dr James Dobson says: ‘Life is so much richer when we have friends with whom we can share our joys and troubles… Unfortunately loneliness remains a major problem and source of pain for many. But none of us need become resigned to loneliness; it’s “treatable,” if not actually avoidable.’

Real relationships aren’t built by posting updates, or tweeting and re-tweeting the most thought-provoking quotes. It takes more time than that. The greatest social networking involves meeting someone’s needs in a way that never would have happened without a one-on-one connection. That’s what Jesus did. Most of His public ministry was spent pouring Himself into twelve men who, in turn, went out in His name and poured themselves into others. The Bible says, ‘Having loved His own who were in the world, He now showed them the full extent of His love.’ The psalmist spelled out how many people today feel deep down: ‘No one is concerned for me… no one cares.’ (Psalm 142:4 NIV) If you want to meet people’s needs you have to get ‘up close and personal’. That’s what Jesus did, and He’s your example.

Quality and Quantity

Thu, 10 Dec 2020

‘Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.’ Psalm 127:3

Some people say it doesn’t matter how little time you spend with your children, as long as it’s quality time. But the logic of that concept seems suspect. Why do we have to choose between the virtues of quantity versus quality? We don’t accept that forced choice in any other area of our lives, so why is it only relevant to our children?

We could illustrate it this way. Suppose you’ve looked forward all day to eating at one of the finest restaurants in town. The waiter brings you a menu, and you order the most expensive steak in the house. But when the meal arrives, you see a tiny piece of meat about the size of a 50c piece in the centre of the plate. When you complain about the size, the waiter says, ‘I recognise that the portion is small, but it is the finest grain-fed beef money can buy. You will never find a better bite of steak than what we have served you tonight. As to the portion, I hope you understand that it’s not the quantity that matters; it’s the quality.’

You would object, and for good reason. Why? Because both quantity and quality are important in many areas of our lives, including how we relate to our children. They need our time, and the best we have to give them. The truth is, the ‘quantity versus quality’ argument might be a poorly disguised rationalisation for giving our children neither. The Bible says, ‘Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.’ So when it comes to giving them time and attention, they deserve the best in both quantity and quality.
