Nairaland General › Integrity. by Btruth(op): 7:59am On Sep 05, 2016
Monday September 5


“The integrity of the upright guides them.”  Pr 11:3 NIV

Integrity

The word integrity derives from the word integer, a mathematical term for a whole number as opposed to a fraction. So when you walk in integrity, that means you tell the whole truth and not just a fraction of it. That’s why we take an oath in court to tell “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.” Why do we slant the truth, embellish it, and tell half-truths? Sometimes it’s for financial gain, other times it’s for social advantage. Sometimes it’s to hide our actions, other times it’s to avail ourselves of certain benefits. Jacob, whose name meant “trickster,” conspired with his mother and deceived his father into giving him the birthright of the firstborn—twice as much of their father’s inheritance which rightfully belonged to his older brother Esau. And Jacob paid dearly for it. He spent the next fourteen years as a fugitive working for his father-in-law, who was an even bigger and better cheat than Jacob. Finally, in despair, Jacob had an encounter with God and heard these words: “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go…I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you” (Ge 28:15 NIV). That day Jacob’s value system changed, and the taker became a giver. He told God, “Of all that you give me I will give you a tenth” (v. 22 NIV). And after that God blessed him beyond his wildest dreams. He returned home after many years with a beautiful family, great riches, and a new name: Israel. The truth is, integrity pays dividends every time. Why? Because God guarantees it.

Nairaland General › Look For Ways To Serve Others. by Btruth(op): 6:22am On Sep 04, 2016
Sunday September 4


“Share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”  Heb 13:16 NIV

Look for ways to serve others

When Ronald Reagan was governor of California, he sometimes slipped out of his office early, telling his administrator Michael Deaver, “I’ve a few errands to run.” Deaver became curious, so he leafed through the “to read” file on the governor’s desk. On top was a wrinkled letter from a man stationed in Vietnam. The soldier had written to Reagan telling him about his life in Southeast Asia, and how much he missed his wife. That particular day was their wedding anniversary and he wanted her to know how much he loved her and longed to be with her. Although he had already sent her a card, he asked the governor if he’d make a phone call to make sure she was okay and pass on his love in case she didn’t receive the card. The next day Deaver discovered Reagan had done much more than the soldier requested. He’d picked up a dozen red roses and delivered them to the man’s wife. Dale Rowlee, the governor’s driver, told Deaver that Reagan approached the woman with an extremely humble attitude, and offered the flowers on behalf of a loving husband stationed in a jungle hell on the other side of the world. Then he spent over an hour with her, drinking coffee and talking about her family. Reagan’s humility may, in fact, have been one of the secrets to his enduring popularity. Somebody said, “To be humble to superiors is duty; to equals, courtesy; to inferiors, nobility.” It’s not big deeds, but small acts of kindness that make us great as God counts greatness. “With such sacrifices God is pleased.”

Nairaland General › Heed The Warnings. by Btruth(op): 8:44am On Sep 03, 2016
Saturday September 3


“He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”  Pr 29:1 NKJV

Heed the warnings

In the official magazine of the Naval Institute, Frank Koch reported on a very unusual encounter at sea. A battleship was coming in for maneuvers in heavy weather. Shortly after the sun went down, the lookout reported a light in the distance, so the captain had the signalman send a message: “We’re on a collision course. Advise you change your course twenty degrees.” Minutes later a signal came back: “Advisable for you to change your course.” The captain angrily ordered that another signal be sent: “I am a captain. Change course twenty degrees.” Again came the reply: “I’m a seaman, second class. You’d better change your course.” Furious by this point, the captain barked a final threat: “I’m a battleship! Change your course!” The signal came back, “I’m a lighthouse.” The captain changed his course! It’s foolhardy to ignore the beacons that warn you of danger. They take various forms: symptoms of health problems, prolonged marital conflict, rebellious children, excessive debt, soul-destroying habits, stress that ties you in knots. The list goes on. It matters not whether you’re successful, influential, and busy. When God sends you a warning and tells you to change course, if you’re wise you won’t argue. Instead you will do it with haste. Let’s get personal. Has God been dealing with you over something in your life that’s wrong, but you keep resisting Him? Or putting off dealing with it? Things will go right for you when you turn to Him instead of away from Him.

Nairaland General › The Bible Formula For Happiness. by Btruth(op): 6:03am On Aug 30, 2016
Tuesday August 30



“Time and chance happen to them all.”  Ecc 9:11 NIV

The Bible formula for happiness

Are you the kind of person who needs clear answers to everything and can’t tolerate shades of gray? Well, the truth is we don’t have answers for much of what happens in the world. God stamps many of the issues we struggle with: “Will explain later!” Modern science would have us believe that given enough time, everything is concrete, exact, measurable, and provable. But we’ve discovered this isn’t so. For example, why does one family experience tragedy and another doesn’t? Why do the “haves” throw more food into the garbage every night than what it would take to feed the “have-nots?” Why do the young and innocent die? You could drive yourself crazy with these questions and still not find the answers. So what should you do? The Bible says: “Eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do…Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love…Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them” (Ecc 9:7-12 NIV). Bottom line: Learn to live with unanswered questions, trust God with all your heart, and wring the most out of each day. That’s the Bible formula for happiness.

Nairaland General › A Joyful Outlook. by Btruth(op): 6:35am On Aug 29, 2016
Monday August 29


“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”  Ne 8:10

A joyful outlook

You get to choose your outlook each day, so choose wisely and well. Observe: (1) A joyful outlook gives you the winning edge. When world heavyweight champion Joe Louis got knocked down by Tony “Two Ton” Galento in Yankee Stadium, he immediately jumped up and went after his opponent. When his trainer protested, “Why didn’t you stay down for nine like I’ve always taught you?” “What?” growled Louis. “And give him all that time to rest?” He then went out and won the fight. (2) A joyful outlook determines how others respond to you. When you smile, people tend to smile back. But if you come across as hardnosed, they’re likely to respond in kind. If you want to enjoy people as you go through your day, think well of them. This isn’t rocket science, but it’s easily forgotten. (3) A joyful outlook brings happiness. English literary figure Samuel Johnson said: “He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply the grief…he proposes to remove.” (4) A joyful outlook always brings the best result. Successful people embrace this truth, whether it’s a surgeon going into the operating room, a pastor preparing a sermon, or an executive launching a new business venture. Confidence increases your chance of success every time. So when you approach a task, especially one you don’t relish, fix your mind on God’s promises and not your feelings. It’ll get you back on track every time—guaranteed!

Let's stop this crude mindset.

If where we read the bible from is relevant then paper is also a sin since some of them were actually written on stones.
Excellent! Since God Himself decided to dish out His words to the Israelites on the tablets, so, what's wrong in having the bible on it?

Nairaland General › Try To Make Amends. by Btruth(op): 7:21am On Aug 28, 2016
Sunday August 28


“I will pay back four times the amount.”  Lk 19:8 NIV

Try to make amends

Zacchaeus had a bad reputation; as a tax collector he got rich by bilking people. And the fact that Jesus spent the night at his house shocked the religious community. We’re not privy to what Jesus told Zacchaeus that night, but it caused him to respond, “Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” Jesus answered, “Today salvation has come to this house” (v.  9 NIV). There’s an important lesson here about becoming whole. The basis of true emotional healing rests on your willingness to forgive, and when possible, make amends to those you’ve hurt. If you owe someone a debt, you must try to pay it. If you’ve wounded them, you must apologize and try to restore the relationship. Jesus said: “This is how I want you to conduct yourself in these matters. If you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you, abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and work things out with God. Or say you’re out on the street and an old enemy accosts you. Don’t lose a minute. Make the first move; make things right with him” (Mt 5:23-25 TM). So, who do you need to make things right with today? Pray for grace—then go take care of it. When you do God will bless you, and you’ll feel better about yourself too!
Nairaland General › Praying According To God's Will. by Btruth(op): 7:50am On Aug 27, 2016
Saturday August 27


“The Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.”  Ro 8:27 NLT

Praying according to God’s will

Since we sometimes pray outside of God’s will, part of the Holy Spirit’s job is to change our minds—not convince God to give us what we want. That’s why the Spirit “searches our hearts” in prayer. Sometimes words are inadequate; you don’t always know what someone’s really thinking or wants based on what they say. But if you could see inside their heart you’d know exactly how to interpret their words. That’s what the Spirit does when He searches our hearts and interprets our requests to the Father. But if the Holy Spirit is going to intercede for us (appeal to God on our behalf) we’d better learn what God’s will is. And where do we learn that? In His Word. Before we can pray in the will of God two things have to happen. First, we must have a regular intake of Scripture. God’s mind is revealed in His Word, so when you read the Bible you learn how to pray the way you should. Second, if our prayers are going to hit the mark we need to practice meditating on the Scriptures. Just as a good cook allows a stew to simmer in order to bring out all the flavors, we need to “marinate” our minds in Scripture and allow it to become part of us. When that happens, we’ll start to see things change in our prayer lives because the Spirit’s intercession is tied to God’s will, which is tied to His Word. In the final analysis you may think you know what you want, but God knows what you need!
