“If the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.”  Jn 8:36 AMP

Free to be yourself!

We live in a world of peer pressure. Others set the standard and we wear it, drive it, quote it, or do it. In some cases that’s okay, but not when it comes to your life’s direction. Jesus said, “If the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.” That means you’re free from the pressures others try to put on you; free to be the person God called you to be; free to look to Him for answers instead of always looking to other people. The Bible says, “A man must be content to receive the gift which is given him from heaven” (Jn 3:27 AMP). When you scratch the surface, you discover that deep down many of us struggle with insecurity. We’re competitive, always comparing ourselves to others. We’re envious of their possessions, abilities, and accomplishments. We find ourselves trying to keep up with certain people, or be just like them. And as a result we get frustrated because we’re operating outside of what God called us to be. In other words, we’re not being ourselves! Understand this: The Christian life is a race, and you must run on your own track. You’ll never enjoy the fullness of God’s blessing until you commit to being the person He created you to be. So look in the mirror today and announce, “I am what I am. I can’t be anything other than what God has called me to be. So I’m going to concentrate on being the best me I can be—and celebrate every moment of it.”

Is like asking if it will be right if the Muslim should feast with the Xtian during the Xmas period?

Even the one produce here is as expensive as the imported one....., what is really going on here in Nigeria? if the tariff on the imported one is OK, and the people decided to be importing it, so be it. Afterall, country like UK do import most of their foods too.

Nonsense!

“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”  Php 2:4 NKJV

“If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”

When it comes to homemaking, generally speaking women tend to care more than men about the house and everything that’s in it. Marriage expert Dr. James Dobson shares the following insightful story: “A few years ago my wife and I hired a plumber to install a gas barbecue unit in the backyard, and then we left for the day. When we returned, we both observed that the device was mounted about eight inches too high. My wife Shirley and I stood looking at the appliance, and our reactions were quite different. I said, ‘Yeah, you’re right. The plumber made a mistake. By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?’ But Shirley reacted characteristically. She said, ‘I don’t think I can stand that thing sticking up in the air like that.’ I could have lived the rest of my life without thinking again about the height of the barbecue unit, but to Shirley it was a big deal. Why? Because to a man a home is a place where he can relax, kick off his shoes, and be himself. But to a woman, especially to a homemaker, the house is an extension of her personality. She expresses her individuality and her character through it. That’s why husbands would be wise to recognize this differing perspective, and accommodate the creative interests of their wives. By the way, the plumber was summoned back to our house the next day and asked to fix his mistake. As the saying goes, ‘If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.’”

its not a reprisal attack it is the herdsmen from niger who had come to rustle cows!

Fulani from Niger or from Nigeria or anywhere in the world are the same. So, they should be dealt with accordingly.

“He found nothing but leaves on it.”  Mt 21:19 AMP

Fruit or just leaves?

The Bible says: “As He was coming back to the city, He was hungry. And as He saw one single leafy fig tree above the roadside, He went to it but He found nothing but leaves on it [seeing that in the fig tree the fruit appears at the same time as the leaves]. And He said to it, Never again shall fruit grow on you! And the fig tree withered up at once” (vv. 18-19 AMP). Perhaps you’re thinking that’s pretty harsh treatment. After all, it wasn’t the tree’s fault that it didn’t have any figs. So why did Jesus curse it? You’ll find the answer in these words: “Seeing that in the fig tree the fruit appears at the same time as the leaves.” When Jesus saw leaves on the tree, He’d a right to expect fruit. And when there was none, He cursed it for being a phony while giving off the impression that it was the real thing. There’s an important lesson here for each of us. Be careful that you don’t display an impressive array of leaves without actually bearing fruit. It takes more than a bumper sticker on your car, a Jesus pin in your lapel, and a big Bible under your arm to influence and win others to Christ. The Bible says, “When the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Gal 5:22-23 TLB). That’s the kind of fruit people can see, touch, taste, and enjoy. And it’s the kind God wants to see manifested in your life today.

Eventually, whatsapp will run themselves out of business. Imagine the population of people using those phones listed above. Pride they say goes before fall. None of the owner's phone above will drop them in water because of whatsapp. I'm pretty sure that the manufacturer of those phone will not be happy with the new directives of whatsapp. Anyway, let see how it goes first.

How does the situation stops a broken egg been replaced?

Very silly decision I think.

“David strengthened himself in the Lord.”  1Sa 30:6 NKJV

Learn to encourage yourself!

David had just won a string of spectacular military victories. But when he returned from battle and found his home destroyed by the Amalekites and his family taken captive, he was heartsick. He and his men fell to the ground and wept, until they could weep no more. But he didn’t stay down. “David inquired of the Lord, saying, ‘Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?’ And He answered him, ‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all’” (v. 8 NKJV). And David’s self-encouragement, coupled with God’s guidance, led him to his next victory. There’s a lesson here. You must learn how to talk to yourself the right way, how to quote God’s promises, and how to pray for yourself. And here’s a promise from the Psalms that you can stand on: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Ps 30:5). Your joy will return. God has promised it! So look in the mirror today and declare, “This too shall pass. What doesn’t destroy me makes me stronger. In the meantime I’ll let this situation drive me closer to You, Lord.” Come on—start encouraging yourself! The biggest battles bring the biggest victories. Your weaknesses can become discovery points for strengths you never knew you had. Recalling the worst time in his life, Joseph said, “God turned into good what you meant for evil” (Ge 50:20 TLB). And He still does that! Other people don’t control your destiny, God does, and He’s not like others. He can turn your pain into gain and your scars into stars! Regroup, refocus, and resolve to press on. The word for you today is: Learn to encourage yourself.

What's the big deal in this?

“Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given.”  Gal 6:4 TM

Test the waters (2) 

One pastor writes: “I could have taken a hundred gifts and ability tests as a young man and never discovered that I was gifted at teaching, because I’d never done it. It was only after I began accepting opportunities to speak that I saw the results, received confirmation from others, and realized God had gifted me to do this.” Unless you’re willing to risk getting involved, you’ll never know what you’re good at. Sure you’ll make mistakes—and some of them may be so discouraging you’ll want to give up and not try again. But if you turn your mistakes into learning experiences you’ll not only discover what God has called you to do, you’ll grow and become proficient at it. Paul writes: “Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that…Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life” (vv. 4-5 TM). Then he adds: “Let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit…therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all” (vv. 9-10 TM). Today take a serious look at what’s left of your life and decide to make it count. Some of the saddest words in life are on a tombstone that reads: “When I came to die, I discovered I had not yet lived.” Don’t let that be said of you!

“We each have different work to do.”  Ro 12:5 TLB

Test the waters (1)

Bob Buford was a successful businessman who felt God calling him to some kind of ministry. He just wasn’t sure what, so he decided to test the waters. He brought together a group of pastors of large churches to see if they could benefit from the kind of organizational expertise he had. The cost of doing this was low enough that had it been a dead end, he could easily have focused his search elsewhere. If he’d impulsively quit his job as CEO and taken a staff position in a church somewhere, he might have missed his calling and jeopardized his chance to keep searching. As a result, today he has a ministry that literally impacts the world. Now, you can’t just walk away from your previous commitments. Amos transitioned into the prophecy business while he still had his shepherding job to fall back on. Paul kept his tent-making operation running when he went into church planting. Discerning God’s will requires time and patience, and most of us have bills to pay and families to take care of. So what should you do? Keep your day job—but test the waters! And remember you’re not alone. God’s more committed to your success than you are. When you feel like He’s given you the green light, gently push the accelerator and move forward. Playwright Arthur Miller said: “It’s wrong to remain in a situation you know is a mismatch for you…God didn’t place you on this earth to waste away your years in labor that doesn’t employ His design or purpose for your life, no matter how much you may be getting paid.”

“We have this treasure in jars of clay.”  2Co 4:7 NIV

Don’t quit

Paul writes: “We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” “Jars of clay” refers to cups, bowls, pots, etc., and what really matters is what’s in them. A vessel may be chipped and flawed, but once it’s washed and cleaned it can be used again. So don’t quit because someone discovered you’re a jar of clay with chips and flaws. There’s a cry from the Jericho Road nobody except you may ever hear. Some dying thief will be saved if you’ll just keep preaching through your pain, because the message that saves others is the one that saves us too. Accepting the fallen is the strength—not a weakness—of the Gospel. There’s a world of difference between the coldness of a rebellious heart and the cry of a troubled heart that says, “God save me from myself.” One glimpse of God’s grace brings all of us to our knees confessing and forsaking sin, “bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2Co 10:5). One pastor writes: “People listen to our one-sided testimonies of success and become discouraged. They think that while they struggle, we have it all together. That’s because we falsified the records and failed to tell the whole truth. God help us! Our message is we were saved by grace, we are being saved by grace, and we will be saved by grace.” If need be, go down into the Potter’s house and let Him put you back on the wheel and remake you—but don’t quit! (See Jer 18:1-4).

RIP.

Such good news is what we expected from nairaland.com always.

Congratulations to the family.
