“My mouth will speak words of wisdom.”  Ps 49:3 NIV

Words (2)

The Bible says that you are to be gracious in what you say. That means your goal in conversation should always be to bring out the best in others, not denigrate them or cut them off. Good communication makes good friends, so you need to be clear when it comes to your personal boundaries, beliefs, values, and desires. It may well be true that more problems are forgotten than are ever solved, but healthy relationships sometimes call for healthy confrontation. And there’s a right time and a right way to do it. When you have to deal with a difficult situation, pray and stand on this Scripture: “My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding.” Your words are the vehicle through which your thoughts are conveyed, and your tongue is the driver. So if you don’t want to end up on the wrong road, or end up in a wreck, pray: “Lord, give me words of wisdom. Help me to say the right thing, in the right way, at the right time.” The Holy Spirit is a great driving instructor! He will guide you, instruct you, and keep working with you until you get it right. He will help you grow in grace until you reach the place of maturity in your relationships where you’re able to say, “My advice is wholesome. There is nothing devious or crooked in it. My words are plain to anyone with understanding, clear to those with knowledge” (Pr 8:8-9 NLT). When you can say that, you know you’re making progress!

Truly, oshi & iranu are twin brother.

iliyande:
Why should a Christian pray? How often should I pray? These questions and many more are constantly heard from people. Some people wonder if there is really any need to pray. This post is to emphasize the importance of praying without ceasing to Believers.

Pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (2 Thessalonians 5:17-18)

Praying without ceasing - what does that really mean? Does it mean that we should always be on prayer mode ready to fold our hands and bow down our heads at any given minute of the day? That would be wonderful, but the meaning of this instruction Paul gives to the church in Thessalonica goes beyond just the act of saying a certain prayer. It goes back to the attitude of the heart.

One of the biggest misconceptions people have today is that we can go through a full day without Him. Truth be told, if God completely left you to yourself today, you'd be gone before you even knew it. Colossians 1:17 says, "And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

The presence of God is essential to our everyday lives, and to "pray without ceasing" is to acknowledge that as a reality that we live by. Essentially, it can seem like a tall order to pray without ceasing but in reality it's the easiest life we can live.

Here are three applications to praying without ceasing and what it does to us.

Continued dependence

To pray without ceasing means to continue in our dependence towards Jesus for anything and everything. Jesus is the very reason of our existence and is now the prize that we run to. Without Him there would be no meaning to anything we say or do. We are to live acknowledging that very reality- that without Jesus we are nothing.

We depend on Him for provision, protection, purpose and significance at all times, and to be separate from Him is to be void of all these things.

Continued declaration

As we continually be in an attitude of prayer, we continue in our declaration of who God is in our lives. We declare Him as master when we surrender every endeavour we have through the day. We declare Him as provider when we look to Him for daily bread. We declare Him as healer when we acknowledge Him in times of hurt or distress.

On the other hand, to refuse to have an attitude that prays without ceasing declares that we have no need of God. What kind of declaration would you like to make today?

Continued devotion

Devotion means commitment. What or who you are devoted to greatly affects what you choose to do and how you live your life. To devote ourselves to God means to constantly acknowledge that everything we do is by Him and for Him.

More than words, our devotion is a reflection of our heart. When we devote our hearts to God, we acknowledge our desire to be with Him and to live for Him.

thanks. God bless you.

Day by day, dear Lord of thee three things I pray.
- to see thee more clearly
- love thee more dearly
- follow thee more nearly
Day by day.

“I will…not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue.”Ps 39:1 NLT

Words (1) 

An unknown poet wrote: “A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life. A bitter word may hate instil; a brutal word may smite and kill. A gracious word may smooth the way; a joyous word may light the day. A timely word may lessen stress; a loving word may heal and bless.” The Bible says, “No man can tame the tongue” (Jas 3:8 NKJV). “Well, if it can’t be done,” you ask, “How am I supposed to do it?” By pausing before you speak, cultivating a sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit within you and drawing on His power. By reminding yourself that once a word has left your lips it can never be taken back, and all the “I’m sorrys” in the world won’t alter that. The Psalmist, who’d evidently made the mistake of talking when he should’ve been listening, wrote: “‘I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue.’” In the Bible, abstaining from food for a period of time is called “fasting.” It has a spiritually cleansing effect. It draws us closer to God. It strengthens and sharpens us. So here’s an idea for you: How about going on a verbal fast for the next thirty days? At least a partial one. Isaiah said, “The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary” (Isa 50:4 NLT). Instead of your tongue doing the leading and you doing the following, let your mouth become Spirit-guided.

Anyway, let's save life with this:


I URGE ALL MY FRIENDS TO READ & SHARE THIS; YOU COULD SAVE A LOVED ONES LIFE BY KNOWING THIS SIMPLE INFORMATION!!!

Stroke has a new indicator! They say if you forward this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue:

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
>>RECOGNIZING A STROKE<<

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. Chicken Soup)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'sticcck' out his tongue. If the tongue is

'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

“You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else.”  1Co 10:12 TM

Move closer to God and stay there!

Writing about mistakes some of God’s people made in the past, the apostle Paul penned these words: “These are all warning markers—DANGER!—in our history books, written down so that we don’t repeat their mistakes. Our positions in the story are parallel—they at the beginning, we at the end—and we are just as capable of messing it up as they were. Don’t be so naïve and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence. No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it” (vv. 11-13 TM). Here Paul addresses two kinds of people who are particularly at risk: (1) Those who think they’re incapable of falling. “You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.” (2) Those who believe they’ll never be able to get back up again. “God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.” Isn’t that great news? God not only understands your struggle, He promises you an exit strategy: a way to get through it. So the word for you today is: Move closer to God and stay there!

“God…has planted eternity in the human heart.”Ecc 3:11 NLT

Heaven (3) 

Why do thousands of children die of starvation each day, while every night the world’s wealthiest nations throw away enough food to feed them? In 3,500 years of recorded civilization, only 268 years have passed without war raging some place on the globe. Yet during that same period 8,000 peace treaties have been signed. Why is the dash between the dates on a tombstone so small? Something tells us this isn’t right, good, or fair. This isn’t home. Who put these thoughts in our heads? The Bible says, “God…has planted eternity in the human heart.” As a redeemed child of God your life on earth is just the beginning. It’s the first letter, of the first sentence, of the first chapter, of the great story God is writing. We’re like homing pigeons; we have an innate home detector. We’re heaven bound and heaven hungry. That doesn’t mean you can be so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly use. If you want to hear the “well done…good and faithful servant” (Mt 25:21), you’ve got to be a good and faithful servant of God each day on earth. But your mandate is: “Seek first the kingdom of God” (Mt 6:33 NKJV). In His plan, it’s all about the King and His kingdom. He wrote the script: “And this is [God’s] plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth” (Eph 1:10 NLT). The Bible ends with these words: “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus” (Rev 22:20 NIV). How do you get to heaven? By putting your trust in Jesus Christ.

Gateway state indeed. God bless Ogun state, God bless Nigeria.

May the Lord console her family.

Great write up. Some I do, and some I will begin to emulate.

Thank you OP.

“Set your sights on the realities of heaven.”  Col 3:1 NLT

Heaven (2) 

Five hundred years ago sailors feared the horizon, believing if you sailed too far you could fall off the edge of the world. Today we smile at such an idea. But back then they were deadly serious; so much so that they erected a monument at the Strait of Gibraltar to commemorate the concept. At its narrowest point Spaniards assembled a huge stone marker bearing the Latin inscription Ne plus ultra, which means “No more beyond.” Then in 1492 Christopher Columbus came along and blew their theory out of the water (no pun intended!). The discovery of new worlds and new horizons changed everybody’s mind. Spain even acknowledged this in its coins which came to bear the inscription Plus ultra—“More beyond.” Have you limited yourself in your thinking? Do you regret wasting seasons of life on foolish notions and pursuits? Do you feel like your best years are gone by? Not so! You’ll have eternity to make up for lost time in a glorified celestial body that knows no limitations. Your biggest moments lie ahead, on the other side of the grave. So: “Set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven” (vv. 1-2 NLT). John the Revelator was a prisoner, surrounded by the sea on the tiny island of Patmos. Everywhere he went, the sea was there. It confined him. It hemmed him in and separated him from those he loved. Then God showed him the glories of heaven and he wrote, “There was no more sea” (Rev 21:1). No more limitations—in heaven you’ll be “free at last.”

“I am going there to prepare a place for you.”  Jn 14:2 NIV

Heaven (1) 

In this devotional we stress the importance of maximizing each day: enjoying where you are on your way to where you’re going. And that’s good advice. But ultimately, as a redeemed child of God your greatest longing shouldn’t be for that which is temporal but for that which is eternal—your heavenly home. Jesus described it this way: “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” Max Lucado writes: “The journey home is nice, but the journey is not the goal. I prepared part of this message on an airplane. As I looked around at fellow passengers, I saw contented people. Thanks to books, pillows, and crossword puzzles, they passed the time quite nicely. But suppose this announcement were heard: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, this flight is your final destination. We’ll never land; your home is this plane, so enjoy the journey.’ The passengers would become mutineers. We’d take over the cockpit and seek a landing strip. We wouldn’t settle for such an idea. The journey isn’t the destination. The vessel isn’t the goal. Those who are content with nothing more than the joy of the journey are settling for too little satisfaction. Our hearts tell us that there’s more to this life than this life. We, like E.T., lift bent fingers to the sky. We may not know where to point, but we know not to call the airplane our home.” Jesus said, “I am going there to prepare a place for you.” And there’s no place on earth like it! So live with heaven in mind.

I wonder how our fore-fathers take survive?

If you remember this woman, you probably have major responsibilities now

...yes oooo. serious responsibility my dear.

Don't really remember the face again though, but her name was an household name on NTA news.

Continue to rest in the Lord Toks.

And for those guys that confess that they were the one that raped you, let God be their judge.

Don't really remember the face again though, but her name was an household name on NTA news.

Continue to rest in the Lord Toks.

Eeyah! So sorry for the way she treated you. I'm pleading on her behalf. But, .....

Would you remember when things started going sour between the 2 of you? You never mention if you guys have a child yet or not?

As a man, you need to know the root of the uprising in the home. Thank God, it's not as if your wife was having an affair, but there must be something deep eating her up that you need to find out.

If she hasn't have a child yet, that could be a serious factor in her aggressiveness. And if she did have a child, then something is seriously wrong somewhere that you need to find out diligently.

Please sir, don't send her back because she spat on you. I knew she had done very very wrong, but you see sometimes, anger could make the meek go gaga. But cutting the head will never solve the problem of headache. So, please take it very easy and learn to overlook her action. The strength of a wise and intelligent man is measure at this particular situation and time.

I will advice you not to listen to most of the advice of sending her back or beaten her up. If you reject your wife or send her back, it could be the beginning of unhappiness in your life (especially that you've confessed that you love her very much), and it will make you loose focus in other things in life. And besides, what's the guarantee that you will find love in the next lady.

I know you are angry now, but please try and calm down. You could just be silent towards her for sometime, and that will let her be remote. Then, use your love to bring senses back to her head.

Happy Salah!

“In the prison, the Lord was with him.”  Ge 39:20-21 NIV

From the bottom to the top

When Potiphar’s wife cried rape, her husband believed her and had Joseph thrown into prison. Some of us would have said, “It’s not fair. I did the right thing. Maybe I should have had some fun, kept my job, and even gotten a promotion.” Not Joseph! At that point in his life there was no better place for him to be, because he was exactly where God wanted him. It was in prison that he met the royal butler, who in turn introduced him to Pharaoh, who eventually placed him on the throne. Sometimes God takes us to the bottom in order to take us to the top. The hard part is remembering that when you hit the bottom it’s not the end of the trip. The Bible says of Joseph: “Until his word…came true…the word of the Lord tried…him” (Ps 105:19 AMP). Pharaoh was about to have a dream nobody in his kingdom could interpret except Joseph. And as a result Joseph was about to go from a zero to a hero, from prison stripes to Pharaoh’s second in command. No one can perform that kind of miracle but God. If most of us were in jail we’d settle for early release, a suit of clothes, and a hundred dollars to get back home. But God had something much better in mind for Joseph. And He has for you too! He knows where He’s taking you. He knows the lessons you need to learn along the way so that when you get there you can do the job. So look for God’s hand in your situation today.
