Consult God in everything

Sat, 14 Feb 2026

“They did not ask counsel of the Lord.” Joshua 9:14

Live with one ear toward heaven: “Is this opportunity from you, God?” “Are you in this venture, God?” “Should I take this road, God?” One time Joshua failed to do this and paid for it. Here’s the story. A group of strangers entered the camp of Israel saying, “From a very far country your servants have come” (v. 9 NKJV). Evidently, they knew God’s law had made special provisions for cities outside of Canaan (see Deuteronomy 20:10-12).

Any city that agreed to make peace with Israel would be spared. So, being afraid, they resorted to deception. Three days passed before Joshua realised he had been lied to. These people were not from a distant land; they were from Gibeon, only a day’s walk away. As a result, Joshua entered into an alliance with the enemy because he didn’t seek the counsel of God. We do well to learn from his mistake. Our enemy enters our camp in disguise as well: “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14 NIV). He’s crafty. That’s why it’s essential that we consult God in everything. In every decision and at each crossroad, acknowledge Him, heed Him, and ask Him: “Do I turn right or left?” David said that God’s Word is a “lamp unto our feet” (see Psalm 119:105), not a spotlight into the future. He gives enough light to take the next step. When we pray, He speaks to our hearts: “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, ‘This is the way you should go,’ whether to the right or to the left” (Isaiah 30:21 NLT). So consult God in everything.

Live by the principles of God’s Word

Fri, 13 Feb 2026

“Be careful to obey all… the Law.” Joshua 23:6

Entering the Promised Land, God told Joshua: “Be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses.” You must identify your core values—and live by them. Swiss philosopher Henri-Frederic Amiel said, “The man who has no inner life is a slave to his surroundings.” Your core values are the governing principles you live by. They’re the light that guides you. They give stability and structure to your inner world. When that’s in order, you can navigate your way through almost anything.

Have you ever wondered why God refers to His Word as “laws”? Because they govern your thoughts and actions, guide you in the right direction, and guard you from trouble. They bring order to your life; without that, you’re left with chaos and confusion. Imagine living in a world where 100 centimetres don’t equal a metre, and two plus two doesn’t make four. God established His laws for our good. When we disobey them, we suffer; when we honour them, we succeed. Unlike dining à la carte, you can’t pick what you want and forget the rest. God says, “Do everything written…Then you will be…successful” (Joshua 1:8 NIV). Many talented people who make it into the limelight don’t stay there long. Why? Because they failed to develop strong character. Their lack of integrity toppled them because they couldn’t climb beyond the limitations of their character. Talent may take you to a higher level of success, but without character, you won’t be able to handle the pressures that accompany success. That’s why it’s so important to live by the principles of God’s Word.

Eleyi l'agbara oooo

This is massive....kilode? What did you do for them?

loffyloffy:
Your President was practically adopted, he's the president today.

What you guys are describing is a situation where Nature (assuming there's something wrong with the kids) trumps Nurture (all the effort put into raising them).

If you show a child the right path, they won't stray from it, whether they're biological or adopted.

words with sense. Kudos 👍

Overcoming the fear of success

Thu, 12 Feb 2026

“Common sense and success belong to me.” Proverbs 8:14

The fear of success derails many dreams. Sometimes success brings resentment from those closest to you. Being successful can also create its own anxiety; namely, you fear that you are unable to maintain your success. Then there’s the fear of attracting people who want what you’ve got but are not willing to pay the price you paid to get it. Solomon warned, “Wealth attracts many friends” (Proverbs 19:4 NIV). Then there’s the fear of being bombarded by constant requests for money. What if you say no? You must follow your heart, give as God directs you, and leave your image up to Him. David said, “You surround them with your favour as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12 NIV).

The favour of God can make you a target. And while you must always try to be fair in your behaviour toward others, you cannot reject the favour God sends your way just to keep others from becoming envious. You must embrace God’s favour as part of your destiny. Perhaps growing up, you were told that you should not expect success. And now that you have it, you may feel that you don’t deserve it and that it won’t last. Indeed, you may find yourself engaging in self-sabotaging behaviour that will confirm your own worst fears and bring them to fruition. What should you do? First, thank God that you understand the root of your problem. Second, talk it out with a good listener. As you hear yourself put the problem in perspective, you may find yourself declaring the words of Solomon: “Common sense and success belong to me. Insight and strength are mine.”

You are talking right from been there. Leave the haters here. They won't still believe you. The A & E experience had been like that for years.

Kudos. That's the way to go boys 👌

The young guy knew that ADC is dead on arrival. They can't match any stronghold against PBAT in the coming election.

The Kennedy family gave America three sons. Each one chose service. Each one paid for that choice with his life. Their story is not just about tragedy — it is about what happens when people refuse to stop believing their country can be better.
Joseph Patrick Kennedy Jr. was the eldest. Born in 1915, he was the one their father expected to become president. He was handsome, charismatic, Harvard-educated — built for the public stage. But when the Second World War engulfed the world, Joseph didn't use his family's name or wealth to stay safe. He enlisted in the Navy and became a pilot.
He flew patrol bombers over the Atlantic, hunting submarines during some of the most dangerous months of the war. By the summer of 1944, he had completed twenty-five combat missions. He was eligible to go home. His tour was done.
He didn't go home.
Instead, he volunteered for Operation Aphrodite — one of the most dangerous experimental missions of the entire war. The plan was to pack a converted B-24 Liberator with more than 21,000 pounds of high explosives and fly it toward a heavily fortified German weapons complex in occupied France. The crew would arm the detonators in flight, hand control over to a radio-operated system in an accompanying plane, and bail out before the aircraft reached the coast.
The technology was untested. The risks were staggering. None of the previous Aphrodite missions had succeeded.
On August 12, 1944, Joseph and his co-pilot, Lieutenant Wilford Willy, took off from RAF Fersfield in Norfolk, England. Eighteen minutes later, before they could bail out, the explosives detonated prematurely. The aircraft disintegrated over the English countryside near the village of Blythburgh in Suffolk. Nothing survived the blast. Joseph Kennedy Jr. was twenty-nine years old.
The son who was supposed to become president never got the chance. But his sacrifice became the foundation on which his younger brothers built their lives. In Joseph's courage, they saw something that would shape everything that came after — the understanding that service sometimes asks for everything you have. And sometimes, you give it.
The weight of that unfinished dream fell on John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
John had nearly died himself in 1943, when a Japanese destroyer sliced his PT boat in half in the Solomon Islands. Despite serious injuries, he swam for hours through open ocean, towing a badly burned crewman by clenching a strap from the man's life jacket between his teeth. He refused to leave anyone behind. The Navy and Marine Corps Medal he received wasn't for killing enemies — it was for saving friends.
When John ran for president in 1960, he was forty-three years old — the youngest person ever elected to the office. His inaugural address in January 1961 contained what became perhaps the most quoted line in American political history: "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."
He meant it. Within months, he had launched the Peace Corps, sending thousands of young Americans to serve in developing nations — not as soldiers, but as teachers, engineers, and health workers. He challenged the country to reach the moon within the decade, not because it would be easy, but because attempting the impossible was what America was supposed to do.
His greatest test came in October 1962, when American intelligence discovered Soviet nuclear missiles being installed in Cuba. For thirteen days, the world balanced on the edge of annihilation. Military advisors urged invasion. Soviet leaders threatened escalation. Kennedy chose diplomacy. He found a way for both sides to step back from the brink without humiliation.
Historians widely believe those thirteen days were the closest humanity has ever come to nuclear war. Kennedy's restraint may have saved millions of lives.
He wasn't perfect. His early response to the civil rights movement was cautious and politically calculated. But by 1963, he was speaking with passion about racial justice, proposing the most comprehensive civil rights legislation the country had ever seen. He was growing into the leader the moment demanded.
On November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, that growth ended. John F. Kennedy was assassinated at forty-six, his presidency unfinished, his vision cut short.
The nation grieved. But one brother remained.
If Joseph carried duty, and John carried vision, Robert carried something rarer — the ability to feel what other people felt.
As Attorney General under his brother, Robert had fought organized crime and begun the brutal work of enforcing civil rights in a South that would rather burn than integrate. He sent federal marshals to protect Freedom Riders. He confronted governors who stood in schoolhouse doors.
But after John's assassination, something in Robert broke open. The loss didn't harden him. It softened him. It made him more willing to walk into places where comfortable politicians never went.
He walked through migrant labor camps in California, where farmworkers lived in conditions unfit for human beings. He sat with families in Appalachia so deep in poverty that children went hungry in the richest country on earth. He traveled to Mississippi's Delta, where Black families were denied every dignity that America claimed to guarantee.
He didn't observe from a distance. He sat with people. He listened. He carried what he saw back to Washington and demanded that the country look at what it was doing to its own people.
Then, on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis.
Cities across America erupted. Grief and rage spilled into streets in more than a hundred communities. Buildings burned. Violence consumed neighborhoods already devastated by decades of injustice.
That night, Robert Kennedy had a campaign rally scheduled in Indianapolis, in the heart of a Black neighborhood. Police told him it was too dangerous. They couldn't guarantee his safety. They told him to cancel.
He went anyway.
Standing on a flatbed truck in the cold April darkness, he told the crowd — many of whom had not yet heard the news — that Dr. King was dead.
The crowd screamed. People wept. The air filled with shock and rage.
And then Robert Kennedy did something that no political calculation could have produced. He didn't give a speech. He shared his grief.
He told them about losing his own brother. He quoted the ancient Greek poet Aeschylus from memory — lines that had helped him survive his own pain: "Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
He asked them to choose love over hatred. Understanding over revenge. Compassion over violence.
That night, while more than a hundred American cities burned, Indianapolis stayed calm.
Two months later, on June 5, 1968, Robert Kennedy won the California Democratic primary. Minutes after his victory speech, he was shot in a kitchen corridor of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
He died the next day. He was forty-two years old.
Three brothers. All gone before fifty. Joseph at twenty-nine. John at forty-six. Robert at forty-two.
One died serving in war. One died leading from the highest office in the land. One died reaching for it, still believing the country could heal.
They were not perfect men. They made mistakes, misjudgments, and political compromises. But what defined them was not their flaws — it was their refusal to stop believing that America could live up to its promises. That service mattered. That compassion was not weakness. That the work of building a more just country was worth any cost.
Joseph gave his life in the sky over England before he could ever begin his public work. John gave his in Dallas before he could finish what he started. Robert gave his in Los Angeles before he could begin what he dreamed.
And the work they started — the unfinished work of justice, equality, and compassion as national purpose — remains ours to carry.
Three brothers who believed that service was the highest calling.
All three answered that call.
All three paid with their lives.
And their work continues — in anyone who still believes that a better world is worth building, even if you don't live to see it.

Blessings and cursings; the choice is yours

“Joshua built an altar to the Lord…in Mount Ebal.” Joshua 8:30

The Bible says, “Joshua built an altar to the Lord…in Mount Ebal…‘an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool.’ And they offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord…Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal…He read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings” (Joshua 8:30-34 NKJV).

There are two important lessons in this otherwise obscure Old Testament story. First, “an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool” speaks of God’s unearned and unmerited grace toward us—no human effort involved. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV). Second, notice where this altar was built. When Israel listened to Joshua reading the blessings and cursings recorded in the Law of Moses, half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half in front of Mount Ebal. Those in front of Mount Gerizim heard him read the blessings, and those in front of Mount Ebal heard him read the cursings. But the altar was not built on Gerizim, the mount of blessings, but on Ebal, the hill of cursing. The message is clear: even when you “blow it,” God extends His grace to you. C. S. Lewis said, “Obedience is the key that opens every door.” So even when you fail and disobey God, you can return to the altar of grace at Mount Ebal. It’s built for people like you.

So, Toyota is more reliable than Benz? 🤔. Benz that you might not service in 6 months? Than Toyota that's is always once in a month? Make them continue..... I mean, I understand that Toyota sale a lot more than any other brand though.

Rescue Me

Tue, 10 Feb 2026

“In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.” Psalm 34:6

It had been twenty-five years since Fontella Bass’s rhythm and blues single Rescue Me hit number one on the charts. She had no career to speak of, and she was penniless, tired, and cold. The only heat in her house came from a gas stove in the kitchen. She had strayed from her faith and the church where she started singing gospel songs as a child.

As she prayed, Fontella asked God for “a sign” to confirm that He heard her. Suddenly, she heard her hit song “Rescue Me” on a television commercial! To her, it was as if “the Lord had stepped right into my world!” Fontella was unaware that American Express had been using her song in a commercial and hadn’t been able to locate her to pay royalties. Not only did she receive back-royalties, but new opportunities also began to open for her to sing. Shortly after that, she released a new album. But the best news is that she renewed her relationship with the Lord. “For so many years I tried doing it on my own, and it didn’t work,” she said. “Then I took it out of my hands and turned it over to Him, and now everything’s happening.” The psalmist David wrote: “In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles…. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!” (Psalm 34:6, 8 NLT). And what God did for David and Fontella Bass, He will do for you if you’ll only turn to Him.

It should affect that individual and not other Nigerian.

Nigeria is not there for those who want to know 😁😁😁

N50m ransom and yet this evil people still take a soul. This is pure evil.

I totally agree to this 100%

An independent website can be created to counter the INEC fraud before that day. Let every party agent on ground report live via that web page.

“Why did you make me this way?” Isaiah 45:10

Isaiah said that God “formed me in my mother’s womb to be his servant” (Isaiah 49:5 NLT). God deliberately shaped each of us for His service. How then can we complain that we are too short, too tall, too dark, too fair, or too anything else that is unchangeable? The word “too” implies something is beyond what’s desirable or more than what should be.

How can anything that God formed be too anything? What we’re really saying is “This feature doesn’t conform to society’s prescribed standard of beauty,” so we allow our non-conforming attributes to cause us to become insecure and rob us of our confidence. We then feel that our only solution is to change the undesirable feature. What an insult to God’s handiwork “Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’ Does the pot exclaim…‘Why did you make me this way?’ This is what the Lord says…‘Do you question what I do?…Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?’” (Isaiah 45:9-11 NLT). You will strengthen your emotional security when you make peace with every aspect of yourself. By God’s grace and divine enablement, you must truly accept—not merely resign yourself to His sovereign design. When you do so, you stop comparing yourself to others and judging yourself as either inferior or superior. Self-consciousness and fretting over your outward appearance disappear. You have now cleared the path for your real inner beauty to shine through. It’s time to experience body peace, knowing you’re designed for your destiny, tailored for your tasks, and perfect for your purpose.

10 kids kee? I don't get 🤷. Congratulations to all of them.

Wunmi should be relax, if truly Mohbad is the father of her son. She has nothing to worry about. Truth will always prevail. At least, one person will be put to shame at the end of those results. It's just a matter of time. We are waiting 🤔

Be an optimist (2)

Sun, 8 Feb 2026

“In this world you will have trouble but be brave! I have defeated the world.” John 16:33

Whatever circumstances you find yourself in, they don’t have to define you or defeat you. Even if you cannot change them, you can overcome them. George Bernard Shaw wrote: “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.”

When it comes to faith, we rely far too much on circumstantial evidence. Doubt is letting our circumstances dictate how we feel and what we believe. When we let our circumstances get between us and God, it creates a smokescreen of doubt. Faith is putting the promises of God between you and your circumstances. It doesn’t mean you deny reality. It simply means you’re in touch with a greater reality—one more real than what you can touch or taste or see or hear or feel or smell. Jesus was a realist: “In this world you will have trouble.” But He was also an optimist: “Take heart! I have overcome the world” (NIV). Our optimism is anchored to the empty tomb. If Jesus walked out of the tomb, and He did, you don’t have a problem that He cannot solve. And you need to start living as though you believe that is true. There are seven promises in the book of Revelation that begin with the same phrase: “To him who overcomes.” And it reminds us of our true identity as overcomers. We aren’t just conquerors; we are more than conquerors!

Congratulations to them. I wish them all the best. "Ife won, a da'ale nii oruko Jesu" 🙏
