You are loved and highly valued by God

‘We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.’ Ephesians 2:10

Psychologists say our self-worth is based upon what we believe the most important people in our lives think of us. For children, that would likely be their parents. For adults, that could be a spouse, a boss, a friend, or mentor. The problem is that people disappoint us. They can do things that bring us heartache and pain.

The key to really knowing and sustaining a true sense of self-worth is to let your heavenly Father be the most important person in your life. Form your sense of value on what He says about you. When you make mistakes, some people may criticise and make you feel overcome with guilt. But God says, ‘I have mercy for every mistake. Get up and go again. Your future is brighter than your past’ (See vv. 4–10 NLT). The Bible says that you are ‘God’s masterpiece.’ A masterpiece is not mass-produced or created on an assembly line. It’s not average. It’s unique. It’s original. It’s custom made. It’s one of a kind. That’s how God sees you. And that’s how He wants you to begin seeing yourself. The psalmist put it this way: ‘You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!’ (Psalm 139:16–18 NLT).

God can accelerate His plan for your life

‘You have kept the good wine until now!’ John 2:10

Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding reception. There were six waterpots, each capable of holding thirty gallons. First, He said, ‘Fill those pots with water.’ Next, He said, ‘Take some out and bring it to the host of the party.’

When the host tasted it, he told the groom, ‘This is amazing. Everyone serves the best wine first, and after people have had a lot to drink, they bring out the less expensive wine. But you have saved the best wine for last’ (See vv. 7–10 NLT). Do you know how long it takes to make wine? It begins with planting seeds, then takes several years for the vines to grow mature grapes. Then they have to be picked and processed to produce the wine. It often takes three to five years before the first wine is ready to be bottled. The better-quality wine takes five to seven years to make. And people consider the best wine to be twenty to thirty years old. Jesus produced in a moment in time what normally takes decades to produce. So if you’re concerned that you don’t have enough time to achieve your goals, remember that Jesus can do in a moment what might usually take years. Maybe it would typically take you twenty years to pay off your mortgage, or ten years to build your business. But God’s favour can thrust you years down the road. He still turns water into wine. Be encouraged—the God we serve knows how to accelerate natural laws. He can take you further, quicker than you can ever imagine.

Ok let's do a rough estimate of the items you got to see if you were cheated or not

1 cartoon of Gino tomatoes (sachet ones) - no idea (let me just put at 10k)
5liter g.oil ≈ 15k
4liter p.oil ≈ 14k
2 packets of salt ≈ 1k (N500 each
1 bama ≈ 3k
Knorr Maggi ≈ 2,500
Dish washing liquor (medium sized) ≈ 1500
Dental floss/toothpick ≈ 1k
Bag of rice ≈ 60k (most likely less)

Total ≈ N105k give or take 10k. I wouldn't exactly say you were cheated but the organisers can do better

their transportation and refreshments nko? 🤔

miracle002:

Angels watch over you

‘He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.’ Psalm 91:11

A college professor once took a group of students to China for a field trip. Several days into the journey, the professor experienced unimaginable stomach pain and was rushed by ambulance to a local clinic.

It was a tiny town and the medical staffer in charge of the clinic observed that the professor’s appendix had ruptured. Poison was spreading all through his body, but since there were no surgeons around, there wasn’t much that could be done for him. The professor went into convulsions and in and out of consciousness. Back home in America during a church service, the professor’s father, a pastor, began to feel an extraordinary burden for his son. He said to the congregation, ‘We must stop and pray for my son. Something is wrong.’In China it was two o’clock in the morning when suddenly one of the country’s most famous surgeons walked into the clinic—the very surgeon who travels with the US president when he visits China. The staff was amazed to see him. ‘I’m here to take care of the American,’ the surgeon said, and he operated and saved the professor’s life. The next day, the surgeon said to the professor, ‘Who were those two men you sent into my office yesterday?’ The professor replied, ‘I didn’t send anybody to you. I don’t know anybody here in China.’ The surgeon said, ‘That’s odd, because they said you were a very important person and that I needed to be here and operate on you.’ God’s Word says, ‘He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.’

Your new resurrection body (1)

‘But God gives it a body as he has determined.’ 1 Corinthians 15:38

Benjamin Franklin, who was a printer, wrote an epitaph for his grave. And even though it never ended up on his tombstone, it has been passed down in history for its cleverness and wisdom:

‘The body of Benjamin Franklin, printer; (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out, and script [stripped] of its lettering and gilding), lies here, food for worms. But the work shall not be lost, for it will, as he believed, appear once more, in a new & more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author.’ What a wonderful way to describe what’s going to happen to us someday. The apostle Paul used seeds as a metaphor: ‘But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined’ (vv. 35-38 NIV). A pastor explains: ‘When you plant your garden, you may toss a kernel of corn into the furrow and cover it. When it comes out of the ground, it will still be corn; it will be the same in essence. But what comes out of the ground is not the kernel. It’s the whole stalk. It’s much bigger, much better, and much more impressive.’ And your new resurrection body will be as superior to your old body as the stalk is superior to the seed; it will be a body specifically designed for everlasting life.

Think about your heavenly home

‘I go to prepare a place for you.’ John 14:2

The Bible talks about heaven over five hundred times, with details about our eternal home. Shortly before He returned to heaven, Jesus comforted His disciples by saying,

‘In My Father’s house are many mansions…I go to prepare a place for you. And…I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also’ (vv. 2-3 NKJV). The Greek term translated ‘place’ in verse 2 is topos, which refers to a specific and locatable place. Heaven is a real, physical place, where we will one day live with Jesus and our redeemed loved ones. And God has set inside each of our hearts a hunger for heaven (See Ecclesiastes 3:11). During World War II, Franklin Roosevelt had a difficult time traveling among the troops because of his disability, so his wife, Eleanor, took his place. She actually became a favourite of the soldiers. She sent cables and letters back to the president, serving as his eyes and ears. On one trip to the Pacific, she invested an evening in chatting with a group of soldiers, and afterward told her husband they had only one thought on their minds—the longing to finish the battle so they could return home. That’s how God’s redeemed children feel about heaven. We’re deployed on planet Earth, but our assignment is only temporary. The psalmist said, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever’ (Psalm 23:6 NKJV). That’s what we are anticipating, isn’t it? Living in the house of the Lord forever.

markidoo:
Transportation go still remain the same price despite the reduction in Fuel prices

this should be the work of the NURTW. But their greed from the National seat in Abuja by MC Oluomo will not allow them. Imagine the volume of unclean money they are making everyday.

Buying more time for the littering of drainages and roads for this sachets packages is not welcome at all.

Pray for God to heal you

‘Jesus…was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.’ Matthew 14:14

If you’re wondering, ‘How can I be sure God is willing to heal me?’, read this:

‘A man with leprosy came to Him and begged Him on his knees, ‘If You are willing, You can make me clean.’ Jesus was indignant. He reached out His hand and touched the man. ‘I am willing,’ He said. ‘Be clean!’ Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
(Mark 1:40-42 NIV) Not only is God willing to heal us, but He responds to our sickness and suffering with compassion. ‘When Jesus heard what had happened, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed Him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.’ (Matthew 14:13-14 NIV) ‘Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.” (v.30)…And Jesus…said, “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.’ (Matthew 20:32-34 NIV) Has Christ’s power diminished? No. Does He have less compassion toward His redeemed children today than He had for the multitude back then? No. So, come to Him with confidence, praying and believing for your healing.

Embrace your disadvantages

Mon, 15 Dec 2025

‘They were weak, and yet were made strong.’ Hebrews 11:34

A pastor once wrote: “Around the turn of the twentieth century, pioneering psychologist Alfred Adler introduced a surprising idea—the theory of compensation. He suggested that our perceived disadvantages often turn out to be hidden advantages. Why? Because they push us to develop strengths and skills we might never have discovered otherwise.”

Adler’s research revealed some striking patterns. He found that 70% of art students he studied had visual impairments. He noted that some of history’s greatest composers, like Mozart and Beethoven, had degenerative issues in their hearing. He even documented how people across various professions used their weaknesses as springboards, not stumbling blocks. According to Adler, setbacks like birth defects, physical ailments, or poverty weren’t just obstacles to overcome—they were often the very conditions that produced greatness. In one study of small-business owners, 35% identified as dyslexic. Their learning challenges led them to cultivate strong oral communication, sharpened interpersonal skills, and a tenacious work ethic—traits that helped fuel their success in business. Here’s the takeaway: your greatest advantage may be hidden in your greatest disadvantage—if you choose to leverage it. So instead of despising your weaknesses, thank God for them. In His hands, they can become tools that shape your calling, refine your character, and unlock your true potential. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV) That’s more than just encouragement—it’s a reason to praise God for every challenge you face.
