Good initiatives from RCCG, but God help me build something like this personally soon in Jesus name. Bless me to be able to be a blessing to the widows, orphans and the poor in Jesus name. Let Your blessing in my life be a blessing to others, such that Your name will forever be glorified in my life in Jesus name.

‘Hear the instruction of your father.’ Proverbs 1:8 NKJV

One day a man wen t into a barber’s and noticed a young man sweeping the floor. After talking to him, he learned that the boy had no dad in his life. ‘Son,’ the man asked, ‘who do you want to be like when you grow up?’ The boy shot back, ‘Mister, I ain’t never met nobody I want to be like when I grow up.’ Do you believe that at least one of every child’s heroes should be his or her dad? Do you genuinely want to be a hero to your children? If you do, you’ll have to make time for them, and work at being the father they need. If you don’t, they may pick the wrong heroes and end up breaking your heart.

Child psychologist Wade F. Horn considered himself an expert on what made a good father. But when doctors diagnosed him with cancer and told him that he had about six years to live, he realised with a jolt that he was closer to primary school than university in his level of expertise as a dad. He said, ‘It became clear to me in a personal way that if I were to have died because of that illness, my unfinished business would not have been my clinical practice… My unfinished business would have been my two little girls, who every morning when I was recuperating, would come and give me a kiss goodbye.’ Fortunately (or unfortunately) most dads will never get a wake-up call of this nature. But if you’ve been neglecting your kids, a wake-up call is exactly what you need.

Longing For Home

Fri, 15 Jun 2018

‘We are citizens of Heaven.’ Philippians 3:20 NLT

Every year Pacific salmon, having lived five to six years in the ocean, suddenly get the urge to return to the headwaters of their birth river. Battling fishermen, bears, and giant hydroelectric dams, they fight their way upstream determined to reach their home. Scientists don’t know how the salmon make their way back to the exact river in which they were born after being in the ocean for several years. Some think it’s because they can taste or smell the fresh water from their river. Others think they may use the stars to navigate. Regardless of how they do it, we know they don’t use charts and compasses; their journey is intuitive. They have a longing for a particular river, and it can’t be satisfied until they find it.

That’s exactly how it is with us. God created us for Heaven, and nothing in this life will fully satisfy that longing (see Ecclesiastes 3:11). Just like those salmon—we’re in this world but we’re not of it. Yes, we find joy in fulfilling the assignment in life God has given us, but it’s nothing compared to the joy that awaits us in Heaven. Paul puts it this way: ‘We are citizens of Heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for Him to return as our Saviour. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like His own, using the same power with which He will bring everything under His control.’ (Philippians 3:20–21 NLT) And as your redeemed loved ones leave to go to Heaven, your longing to join them will only increase.

Set The Right Example!

‘He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done.’ 2 Chronicles 26:4 NIV

The punch line in a cartoon reads, ‘No matter what we teach our children, they insist on behaving just like us!’ We smile, but it’s a very serious matter. One expert says, ‘We teach what we know, but we reproduce what we are.’ Your children may sometimes doubt what you say, but they will always believe what you do. So:

(1) If you want them to have a quiet time with God, you have one.

(2) If you want your children to be in church, take them, don’t send them.

(3) If you don’t want your children using foul language, watch what comes out of your mouth.

(4) If you don’t want your children to smoke, drink, or do drugs, you leave them alone.

When you say one thing but do another your children may still love you, but eventually they’ll lose respect for you. And what’s worse, they’ll think, ‘If the principles you preach don’t work for you, why should I try them?’ Your example will have more impact than all your exhortations. Read these two Scriptures carefully. The first is found in the Old Testament: ‘He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done.’ The second is found in the New Testament: ‘I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.’ (2 Timothy 1:5 NIV) Thousands of years separate those two Scriptures, but the truth they teach is timeless: so set the right example!

The most wisest ex-head of states/president. He stays out of politics and mingling with the politicians and political parties. You will never see him criticing any one in government.

‘He gives power to the weak.’ Isaiah 40:29 NKJV

We say things like ‘As long as there’s life there’s hope,’ or ‘Hope is tying a knot in the rope and holding on,’ believing that things will get better. But when hope seems delayed or denied, mental and emotional illness can cause some people to look for a permanent way out. Suicide excludes God. When you take your life there’s nothing more He can do for you. It leaves a legacy of unresolved pain that will live on in the hearts of your loved ones. For generations Christian leaders have debated and disagreed on the question of suicide. But every one of them believes these words: ‘Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression.’ (Proverbs 12:25 NKJV) And depression, left undealt with, can end in self-destruction. It may not be the result of a bullet or a drug overdose; it may be a decision to stop eating, or overeat, or stop reaching for help because the help they’ve received has not worked. But the end result is the same.

The Mental Health Foundation in Britain reports that women are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety disorders as men. People in low-income families are reportedly two to three times more likely to develop mental health problems than those in higher-income families. Can the Bible offer some comfort? Yes. ‘He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.’ (Isaiah 40:29–31 NKJV)

‘Hope deferred makes the heart sick.’ Proverbs 13:12 NKJV

Depression can cause you to give up on life. When the job got too big for Moses, he told God, ‘Kill me here and now… and do not let me see my wretchedness!’ (Numbers 11:15 NKJV) Certain that Jezebel would make good on her threats to kill him, Elijah asked God to take his life. It’s said the book of Job covers a span of only nine months, but Job’s losses were so devastating that he said, ‘My soul loathes my life.’ (Job 10:1 NKJV) Solomon said, ‘Hope deferred makes the heart sick.’

Instead of arguing over the question, ‘Will a Christian who takes their own life go to heaven?’ we need to ask God for wisdom to know when a loved one has become so hopeless or emotionally ill that they can’t take another day of it. Who are these people? Young people who cut themselves as a cry for help. War veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who can’t escape the demons of war, and can’t expel them. Victims of abuse who engage in harmful or unhealthy behaviours as a way of coping. Good people who struggle with sexual issues but are terrified to talk about it. According to the World Health Organisation, 615 million people worldwide are battling depression or anxiety every day. They sleep in mansions and under bridges. Some of them are Christians with thoughts of suicide, who dread hearing that they’re weak and don’t have enough faith. A quick Scripture, a brief prayer, and sending them away with a ‘God bless you’ only throws them to the wolves. Jesus said, ‘I am sending you,’ (John 20:21 NIV) because you have the Word, the Spirit, and the power to help them.

Push Through To Victory

‘Problems…help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.’ Romans 5:3–4 NLT

Michael Phelps captured the gold for his country in the Beijing 2008 Olympics and brought home a record eight best-time gold medals. But it won’t just be the number of medals we’ll remember, but his invincible spirit when things turned drastically against him in the 200-metre butterfly. As he touched the wall, winning the race, nobody knew what he’d undergone to accomplish it. As Michael pulled off his goggles and the world watched, incredulous, water poured out of them. He’d swum 200 metres almost blind, an experience swimmers dread. Counting strokes, looking desperately for any marks on the pool floor, he finally touched the finish wall, an Olympic conqueror in every sense. Phelps used his frustration to increase his stamina and determination to win.

Paul says: ‘We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know…they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope…And this hope will not lead to disappointment.’ (Romans 5:3–5 NLT) What a catalogue of amazing benefits God provides us when we face problems!

Endurance: a commitment to draw on His grace and keep moving forward regardless of circumstances.

Strength of character: inner fortitude based on personal integrity.

Confident hope: a deep conviction that whatever it takes, ultimately we’ll make it.

And to crown it all, we’re guaranteed success in our God-appointed mission because ‘this hope will not lead to disappointment’! When you can’t see clearly what’s coming, stretch yourself—the finish wall is just ahead!

She will find everything waiting for her at Ladipo. They only help her to go and keep them there nii....

Responding with Grace

Sat, 9 Jun 2018

‘Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.’ 2 Peter 3:18 NIV

Jesus told His disciples, ‘Since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow.’ (John 13:14–15 NLT) Whose feet did He wash? Peter, who denied Him; Thomas, who doubted Him; Judas, who betrayed Him; and all the others, who would desert Him. In other words, ‘Give the grace you’ve been given.’ You don’t endorse the deeds of your offender when you do. Jesus didn’t endorse your sins by forgiving you. Grace doesn’t tell the daughter to like the father who molested her. It doesn’t tell the oppressed to wink at injustice. The grace-defined person still sends thieves to jail and expects an ex-spouse to pay child support. Grace isn’t blind. It sees the hurt full well. But grace chooses to see God’s forgiveness even more. It refuses to let hurts poison the heart. The Bible says, ‘See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.’ (Hebrews 12:15 NIV) Where grace is lacking, bitterness abounds. Where grace abounds, forgiveness grows. Peter writes, ‘Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.’ Growing in Bible knowledge is a lot easier than growing in grace towards those who hurt you. The first requires a good memory; the second requires a Christ-like character. So how do you ‘grow’ in grace? By practising it with everybody you meet, in every situation you find yourself.

Abjay97:
A lot of celebrities and big name artistes and people go through lots of depression.. but would never want to open up so as not to "embarass/vex/disappoint" fans..
For them suicide is the only way to escape..

.....but been open to true friends, close family and most importantly to God can help one out of depression. All humans are subjected to depression at one stage in their lives, but it takes the grace of God and bravery to come out of it.

May his soul rest in peace.

Four Categories of Desire (4)

‘Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.’ 1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV

Physical desires: The Bible tells us to feast, eat, drink, celebrate, sing, dance, shout, and make music—all things we do with our bodies. These appetites, desires, and delights can actually become a way of remembering how good our God is. The physical is not separate from the spiritual; indeed it is God’s Spirit who makes our bodies come to life. The Bible doesn’t condemn you for wanting to be physically attractive. Now, this needs to be kept in perspective: ‘Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.’ (Proverbs 11:22 NIV) The same principle applies to men. But God did create our bodies.

So can we get real? God made us with a love of beauty. Some stylists started what they called a ‘hairdressers’ ministry’. Perhaps that sounds strange to you. After all, the only hairstylist mentioned in the Bible was Delilah, and when Samson went to her, things didn’t go too well for him. But serving people by cutting their hair can be a good thing. People will share problems with their hairstylist that they won’t share with anybody else. So you can see how that can be a real ministry. This group gave complimentary haircuts to physically and mentally challenged folks. Then they travelled to Costa Rica to serve young women trying to escape a life of prostitution. They honoured and freely served bodies that had not been freely served for a long time: bodies that had been turned into objects. What’s the point? You may need to get a new concept, a Biblical concept of what is truly ‘spiritual’.

...does the man think that money can him love nii?
O mashe ooo. Wasted efforts.

‘A man who has friends must himself be friendly.’ Proverbs 18:24 NKJV

Relational desires: Jonathan was heir to the throne, but he voluntarily gave it up because he knew his friend David was God’s choice to be king. Jonathan desired to be a friend more than he desired to be a king. How often do you find that? And he didn’t become David’s friend because he was pursuing some ‘discipline of spiritual friendship’. He simply liked David, and that friendship changed the course of Israel. We all have relational desires we don’t pursue. Unless a deep, meaningful relationship falls into our lap, we give up. However, friendships like that don’t just happen; Jonathan had to overcome unbelievable barriers to build a friendship with David.

Sometimes you will have to do the same, and God will help you. Author John Ortberg writes: ‘My friend Chuck has the spiritual gift of breakfast. He meets people in a Southern franchise called the Waffle House. The waitress loves to wait on him because he tips well and makes everybody laugh. He’s… really funny and utterly unguarded about his own brokenness, which makes people open up to him like tulips in the sun… He feels God’s presence most powerfully when he sits in the Waffle House and is allowed to see someone’s soul. It’s not the coffee that brings people to him; it’s the rivers of living water flowing out of him.’ If you’re naturally shy, here’s a tip: chances are the person you’d like to reach out to is shy as well. Go ahead, make contact and see what happens. Who knows, you could be the answer to their loneliness and they to yours.

Internet subscribers flee Glo, 9mobile
-
Two major telecommunication firms, 9mobile and Glo suffered serious setbacks in their internet subscribers’ base as over 471,782 internet subscribers left their networks between March and April.

Data made available by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) to National Daily, show that embattled 9mobile, lost 150,285 internet users in April decreasing its subscription to 10.847 million as against 10.997 million recorded in March.

The data also showed that in April, Globacom lost 321,497 internet users decreasing its subscription to 26.372 million from the 26.693 million recorded in March.

This drop in internet subscribers, National Daily gathered may not be unconnected with the telecoms declining services in recent times.

Glo, which prides itself as the ‘Grand master of data’ has been having great difficulties maintaining its services because of the mammoth crowd that ported to its services due to the massive data it gives at affordable prices.

In the end, many of the subscribers had to leave since the internet services on the network was always down, especially between the month of March and April.

For 9mobile, the crisis of getting new investors and the intrigues trailing the recently concluded bidding process for the company where Teleology emerged winner still remains an albatross.



Meanwhile, National Daily gathered from the data that Airtel and MTN gained more internet subscribers during the month in review while Glo and 9mobile lost subscribers.

The breakdown showed that Airtel gained 366,254 new internet users increasing its subscription in April to 25.842 million from 25.476 million in March.

It said MTN gained 718,803 internet users in April amounting to 38.147 million as against 37.428 million recorded in March.

According to the monthly subscribers’ operator data posted on its website on Monday, the number of active mobile telephone lines increased by 11 million to stand 160 million.

Internet users increased to 101.2 million in April from the 100.6 million recorded in March.

The figures showed that the total number of mobile telephone lines in April stood at 160,081,051, compared to 148,854,338 in March.

However, the number of active mobile lines on code division multiple access (CDMA) was 217,566 users in April, same as March.

‘He shall give you the desires of your heart.’ Psalm 37:4 NKJV

The desire to achieve: The first thing God said to Adam was, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and have dominion.’ (Genesis 1:28 NKJV) The reason you have such a strong desire to accomplish something in life is because God created you to ‘do it’. Few people were more motivated by achievement than Paul: ‘My life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus.’ (Acts 20:24 NLT) God didn’t take away Paul’s desire to achieve; He harnessed it so Paul could fulfil God’s will. A strong career drive accompanied by the desire to learn and achieve can be good things—unless they lead to workaholism, worshipping status, neglecting prayer, and manipulating other people. When that happens, you need to re-evaluate your motivation.

But if that’s not the case and you find yourself growing in God with a fire inside you to accomplish something—go forth and achieve. Exercise dominion! Use your ability to accomplish good things for others. At that point, whether you’re contributing to a meeting, adding value to a team, or formulating ideas, you’ll know it’s more than just you. When you develop relational skills that enable you to bond with clients and associates, you can simultaneously pray for them and bless them. As you experience joy in your achievements, your life is pleasing to God. A word of advice: every now and then, remember to stop and thank Him that you get to do something you love!

‘A longing fulfilled is a tree of life.’ Proverbs 13:12 NIV

For the next few days, let’s look at some of our most common desires. Material desires: Lydia was a businesswoman who dealt in textiles (see Acts 16:14). She was one of Paul’s first converts to Christianity in Europe. Can you imagine what it took for a woman to succeed in business in such a male-dominated society? She was so successful she owned her own home. And it was large enough to become the meeting place for the first church in the history of Europe. Of all the religious edifices built over the centuries—Notre Dame, Westminster Abbey, and the Sistine Chapel—the first European church was in the home of this businesswoman. Now, if your desire to make money chokes out your generosity, causes you to live in debt, or creates chronic dissatisfaction, it’s time to re-evaluate what you’re doing. But making money, creating good products, and keeping people employed are God-glorifying things. ‘It is God who gives you power to get wealth.’ (Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV) Have you ever wondered why you enjoy tinkering with engines or working with your hands? It’s because you were made in the image of a creative God who engineered this unbelievable cosmic machine with forces and energy so transcendently mind-boggling that people devote brilliant scientific careers to understanding even a tiny bit of it. Whether you’re mechanically or scientifically oriented, it’s spiritual—and it counts! The Bible says, ‘The Lord… has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.’ (Psalm 35:27 NKJV) And when your desire for material success is to glorify God and bless others, He will help you to succeed.
