Instead of Amosu to do something about this road, he is busy running to & fro Abuja for a dream that can never come to pass. FAILURE! that's is his surname. |
.....but unfortunately, the most bitter truth is that, that is the only stage you can start from as a small scale business person. You can't possibly start big even if you have a big funds. |
Joseph’s Three Coats (1) Sat, 3 Nov 2018 ‘Jacob had given Joseph a fancy coat.’ Genesis 37:3 CEV Let’s look at the three different coats Joseph wore—because they present a picture of your life as a Christian. First, the coat of salvation. Notice, it was a ‘gift’ from his father; Joseph never paid a cent for it, or sewed a stitch, or provided a single bit of fabric. And that’s the story of our salvation, isn’t it? The Bible says, ‘For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.’ (Ephesians 2:8–9 NKJV) Motivated by jealousy and resentment, Joseph’s brothers threw him into a pit and dipped his coat in the blood of a goat in order to convince their father that he had been devoured by a wild beast. Are you getting the picture here? ‘The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.’ (1 John 1:7 NKJV) In Old Testament times, when someone sinned they brought a sacrificial lamb to the altar and the priest shed its blood as payment for their sins. But the priest did not examine the person, he examined the lamb. If the lamb was ‘worthy’, the person was accepted and their sins were atoned for. So the moment you acknowledge your sin and pray, ‘Father, I come in the name of Jesus, the Lamb of God,’ you are totally forgiven and accepted. ‘Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’ (Hebrews 4:16 NKJV) |
......suicides & 3rd mainland bridge? hummmm, something is not right. |
I don't want to believe that it was because you don't have work you went into robbery. If people are not lazy and don't mind menial jobs, there are enough jobs at the abattoir in Agege & OPIC, more than enough self. .......but when they engaged themselves in the dirty business & deals and get caught, it is always the devil at work with them. When will evil people stop pushing blames to the devil? |
Ele'eribu somebody. |
......as in the total landing cost is $1m? Well, I'll rather build an orphanage instead. |

Believe God For Great Things! Wed, 31 Oct 2018 ‘With God all things are possible.’ Matthew 19:26 NIV The poet wrote, ‘Beware of those who stand aloof, and greet each venture with reproof. The world would stop if things were run, by those who say, “It can’t be done.”’ Refuse to let the word impossible stop you. Jesus said, ‘With God all things are possible.’ If those who’ve changed the world had left every ‘impossible’ task undone, we’d still be living in the Dark Ages. Here are four examples: (1) German experts predicted that trains travelling at 40 km/hr would cause severe nose bleeds and the passengers would suffocate going through tunnels. American experts added that we’d need more mental institutions because people would go mad when they saw the first trains. (2) When the YWCA first announced typing classes for women, there was a furious backlash on the grounds that the ‘female constitution would deteriorate under such strain.’ (3) Experts insisted that iron ships would never float, that the iron would wreak havoc with the compass readings. (4) In 1797, New Jersey farmers denounced the first cast-iron plough, insisting it would poison the land and stimulate weeds. So much for ‘experts’! More of us are persuaded into believing for too little than believing for too much. Vision is essential for survival. And a God-given vision is conceived by faith, sustained by prayer and fuelled by God’s Word. It’s not about what you can do, but what God can do with your life when it’s fully surrendered to Him. It encompasses things outside the realm of the predictable, the safe, and the expected. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish.’ (Proverbs 29:18 KJV) If God has given you a vision; pursue it, and believe Him for great things! |

The Roller-Coaster Ride Of Life (3) Sun, 28 Oct 2018 ‘He has made everything appropriate in its time.’ Ecclesiastes 3:11 NAS Life on the peaks is a picnic, but what about life in the pits? In times of turmoil, struggle, heaviness, doubt, loneliness and failure, where do we go? In his classic, The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis describes a senior devil talking to his nephew Wormwood about their mutual enemy, the Lord. ‘Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never in greater danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending to do our Enemy’s will, looks around upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys!’ When our pit is deep and God seems to be nowhere around; when our prayers rebound like empty echoes, what then? ‘No longer desiring’—all positive emotions are shut down. ‘But still intending’—nothing’s left except the sheerest of gutsy faith we can muster just to stay afloat. When it doesn’t even feel real anymore, we trust, and by faith and nothing else, ‘still obey.’ Our senses get distorted, even numbed, in life’s pits. We begin doubting the reality of God’s Word and our standing with Christ, believing our emotional pain is evidence that we’re lost and things are hopeless. These desert seasons leave us feeling distant, alienated from God. Such sensations appear credible to pit-dwellers, while thinking and speaking faith sounds and feels unconvincing. But the enemy knows his cause is never in greater danger than when a child of God ‘looks around upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys!’ |
mu2sa2:.....you are perfectly right bro. good morning. |
The Roller-Coaster Ride Of Life (2) Sat, 27 Oct 2018 ‘He has made everything appropriate in its time.’ Ecclesiastes 3:11 NAS The song says: ‘I beg your pardon; I never promised you a rose garden.’ Neither did God, so beware of ‘rose garden’ theology. The Christian life is not a troublefree experience. There’s no divide where either you’re a believer and life is problem-free, or else you’re an unbeliever and life is tough. It’s an up-and-down experience, bringing times you’ll enjoy and times you’ll endure. The Bible’s heroes experienced both the thrill of victory and the sting of defeat—some, like Elijah, even wishing to die. Consider the paradoxes of God’s Word. Jesus was a ‘man of sorrows.’ (Isaiah 53:3 NLT) Yet He was also ‘anointed...with the oil of gladness beyond (His) companions.’ (Hebrews 1:9 ESV) Paul said he was ‘sorrowful, yet always rejoicing... poor, yet making many rich... having nothing, and yet possessing all things.’ (2 Corinthians 6:10 NKJV) These were his thoughts when he said, ‘I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.’ (Philippians 4:13 NIV) In Proverbs 17:22 NKJV Solomon says, ‘A merry heart does good, like medicine.’ In Ecclesiastes 7:3 ESV he says, ‘Sorrow is better than laughter: for by sadness... the heart is made better.’ In Ecclesiastes 7:14 NAS he writes, ‘In...prosperity be happy; in...adversity consider God has made the one as well as the other.’ Rejoice! In your both/and world, God is still on the throne. He’s controlling the mix of joy to sorrow, peace to conflict, loss to gain, want to satisfaction, tragedy to triumph, with your best interests always foremost in His mind. |
If only Nigerians realize that this woman is far more important than both Buhari, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Saraki & the Atikulated ones put together nii? Rest on madam Stella Adadevoh. You will forever be in our hearts. |
The Roller-Coaster Ride Of Life (1) Fri, 26 Oct 2018 ‘He has made everything appropriate in its time.’ Ecclesiastes 3:11 NAS One preacher said, ‘Friends—if I were God, your body would always be 18, you could eat anything and maintain perfect weight; your middle-aged wife would have the face and figure of an angel; your mid-life husband, thick hair and washboard abs; your youngsters as intelligent as Einstein; your teens cooperative, logical and consistent. Temperatures would be 24 always; snow would be warm, melting overnight; and there’d be no nasty people. Alas, I’m not God!’ So we age, gain weight, struggle raising kids, shiver in winter, sweat in summer, and put up with difficult people. Welcome to the roller-coaster ride of life! It’s neither punishment nor proof you’re fatally flawed; nor is it Heaven or hell selecting you for ‘special’ persecution, nor evidence you aren’t truly saved. No, it’s just life in the real world! Jesus said, ‘On earth you will have many trials.’ (John 16:33 NLT) As in the physical universe, there’s an underlying ‘law of wave mechanics.’ In accord with it, our energy, emotions and creativity ebb and flow consistently. Sometimes we’re on top of the mountain, other times the mountain is on top of us. But whether at peak or trough, God’s law of wave mechanics functions—for our benefit. ‘There is...a time to weep (trough), and a time to laugh (peak); a time to mourn (trough), and a time to dance (peak).’ (Ecclesiastes 3:1;4) While it’s more fun to laugh than weep, ‘He has made everything appropriate in its time.’ Relax. God, who is Alpha and Omega, determines the seasons of your life. Whichever one you’re in, the Word for you today is: ‘My grace is sufficient for you.’ (2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV) |

What’s Good for the Goose (1) Sun, 21 Oct 2018 ‘Look at the birds in the sky!’ Matthew 6:26 CEV Speaking to an anxiety-ridden crowd, Jesus said, ‘I tell you not to worry about your life... Look at the birds in the sky!’ You say, ‘What can I learn from looking at a bunch of birds?’ If you’ve ever been to Pennsylvania USA in early winter, you’ll have seen the skies literally darken as multitudes of Canadian geese gather for their annual flight to the sunny south. For the next few days let’s look at their behaviour, and learn from it. Geese fly united; they don’t fly separately, in random style, because no goose alone can go that distance. They’re designed to fly in their characteristic ‘V’ formation. When a bird flaps its wings the air movement created provides an uplift, easing the workload of the bird behind it. Together, their flight range increases about 70 per cent. Even the youngest, weakest and oldest geese can make the trip. They accomplish together what they could never accomplish separately. There’s a lesson here: when the Bible says, ‘Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another...’ (Hebrews 10:25 NIV), it means, ‘Stay in fellowship with one another, and enjoy the uplift it provides.’ You’re not called to fly solo. ‘The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”’ (1 Corinthians 12:21 NIV) Occasionally a goose strays off on its own but soon becomes exhausted, loses altitude and ultimately pulls wearily back into the formation. ‘Look at the birds’, and learn. |
baby124:Your problem is that you don't know what you want. All your arguments are baseless. Leave the Ooni and his new wife to enjoy themselves. If King Solomon in the Bible can marry Queen Sheba, I wondered what the stress is all about with you. |
baby124:.....and why is that becoming so much of a contention for you? people like you were the one that accused Jesus Christ of going into the tax collector's house to dine with him. |
baby124:whatever their culture says, let them follow. Who are you to judge, and who says other countries in the world doesn't have culture abs their rites too? Unfortunately, we are blinded in this part of the world with 2 imported religious. We believed on either Christianity or Islamic, and both are foreign. |
