“Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will.”  Isa 50:4 NLT

First thing in the morning (1)

Here’s a wonderful promise from God’s Word: “The…Lord has given me his words of wisdom…that I know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will. The…Lord has spoken to me, and I…listened. I have not rebelled or turned away” (vv. 4-5 NLT). Isaiah said God woke him up every morning and told him what he was supposed to do that day, and what he was to say to others! This wasn’t a “one of a kind” occurrence: It happened “morning by morning.” Can you imagine how differently your day would go if you took the time to hear from God before you got out of bed? Notice the word “understanding.” God can give you understanding about what you should say and do before you get into a given situation. He said, “I am the Lord…who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go” (Isa 48:17 NIV). Talk about having a plus in life and an edge on the competition! And here’s the best part: Even if you’re not listening, or you’re not in the right place spiritually, or you don’t have much experience in this realm, God will work with you “morning by morning” until you learn to recognize and respond to His voice. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be! After all, that’s what good parents do with their children when they want them to grow up, mature, and enjoy life’s best.

“Give me this water so that I don’t get thirsty.”  Jn 4:15 NIV

“Restless, irritable, and discontent”

In Alcoholics Anonymous’ twelve-step program those seeking recovery are taught that when they become “restless, irritable, and discontent” they’re in danger of going back to their drug of choice. And that doesn’t work! Why? Because inside each of us there’s a God-shaped blank that only He can fill. Some of us try to fill the blank with human relationships. Jesus met a woman who’d been divorced five times and was now living with her boyfriend. The conversation went like this: “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’ The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty’” (vv. 13-15 NIV). Your body tells you when it’s hungry and thirsty. So does your soul—and if you’re wise you’ll listen. The only “safe” addiction is total surrender and dependency on God! We all have a tendency to respond to what our flesh craves instead of what our spirit needs. So we turn to things like work, sex, and entertainment. Now we’ve added a new one—the Internet. Psychologists are actually treating people with “Internet addiction.” Honestly! King David had it all: power, popularity, pleasure, and possessions. But it left him empty, so he wrote, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God” (Ps 42:1 NIV). Learn to recognize when you are “restless, irritable, and discontent,” and reach for God.

Bloody thief. Ole agbalagba. Thieves they are, thieves they will continue to be. They and their offspring. Damn them and all their generation.

Iran Ole.

In as much love is flying around everyone, then now wahala.

Awon omo ale ile Yoruba. Woe unto all of you. We don't need urchins like you among our race. You guys are disappointed to Yoruba race and your entire family.

Let the law deal with them. Stupid boys.

a South African Rand to a dollar is 14rands

A naira to a rand is 23naira

However, a naira to a dollar is above 300..

Did you knw why a Rand to a naira is low? because we dnt demand for it!

Did u knw why a Rand to a dollar is low? because they dnt demand for it that much...


What sane country spends dollar as if it's her currency?

The problem of this country is not buhari, my friend... And as intelligent as u sound, u shld realise that the only mistake he made, which I do not support is to remove all benefits once ...

He shld av done it one after the other..

We seriously needed someone like OBJ who wld damn all consequences. OBJ tried to revive outlr manufacturing sector that was killed by IBB thru import and subsidies, but he did it small small and not like buhari is doing it..

I can't argue more... But biliv me, even SA is currently in recession.. Venezuela, Angola, Saudi Arabia, uk etc are all suffering.. Ask those who are there to yell u the truth..

right on point. But only few who can see from the in depth can understand what you are saying.

Our love for dollar ($) and foreign foods like rice and others is what is killing us. Why can't we patronise and invest more on our local foods.

Anyway, only God can truly satisfy Nigerians with the choice of leadership. For me, if we can't just bear just a little more with this administration, then I don't see who else will be better. Though, the hardship is much, but we all just have to endure and pray.

“You turned…from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven.”  1Th 1:9-10 NKJV

“Turning…Serving…Waiting”

Let’s read what Paul wrote to the Thessalonian believers: “You became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe…from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth…in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. For they themselves declare…how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven” (vv. 6-10 NKJV). The lives of these believers could be summed up in three words: “Turning …serving…waiting.” Let’s look at each, and see what we can learn. (1) Turning. Repentance means doing an about-face turn. It calls for renouncing and forsaking your carnal thought patterns and self-indulgent ways. (2) Serving. Try serving others rather than expecting them to serve you. At the end of each day, pray, “Lord, how well did I serve You today?” For it’s in serving others that you serve Him. (3) Waiting. If you knew for sure Jesus was coming back tomorrow, what would you do differently today? Would it change your habits, your words, your attitudes? Some of us live our lives as if Christ had changed His mind about coming back again. Make no mistake—He is! Don’t be caught off guard. Endeavor to live each day in the light of His soon return. Doing that will rearrange your priorities!

“If someone aspires to be [a leader]…”  1Ti 3:1 NLT

Qualifying for leadership in the church

The Bible outlines specific qualifications for leadership in the church. “An elder must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation…must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if a man cannot mange his own household, how can he take care of God’s church? An elder must not be a new believer, because he might become proud and the devil would cause him to fall. Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced…and fall. In the same way, deacons must be well respected and have integrity…They must be committed to the mystery of the now revealed faith and must live with a clear conscience. Before they are appointed as deacons, let them be closely examined. If they pass the test, then let them serve as deacons. In the same way, their wives must be respected and must not slander others. They must exercise self-control and be faithful in everything they do…Those who do well as deacons will be rewarded with respect from others and will have increased confidence in their faith in Christ Jesus” (1Ti 3:1-13 NLT).

“I…reprove and chasten.  Rev 3:19 AMP

Submit to God’s correction

God’s correction humbles us in ways we need to be humbled. And when He does it, we have three options: (1) Rebel against Him. (2) Rationalize and make excuses. (3) Receive His correction and get back on track. But lasting change can’t even begin until you accept that God loves you unconditionally and just as you are. Without that, you’ll keep trying to change yourself in a vain attempt to earn His love and acceptance. The truth is, you already have it—you just don’t know it! Many of us think that by accepting ourselves we’re excusing all the things that are wrong with us. Not so! You can’t properly receive God’s correction until you’ve a clear understanding of how much He loves you. Without that you’ll interpret His correction as rejection, and see His disapproval of your behavior as disapproval of you. To grow spiritually you must believe that God is committed to you, especially when He deals with you correctively and leads you in ways you don’t understand. During such times you must have an unshakeable trust in His love for you. The apostle Paul was convinced that nothing could separate him from God’s love (See Ro 8:39). In Revelation chapter three God is speaking to each of us when He says, “Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults…convict and convince…reprove and chasten.” One of the strongest evidences of God’s love and acceptance, is His correction. Indeed, you should be concerned about the absence of it! So if God’s correcting you right now, take heart and rejoice! It means He has good things in store for you.

“He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfied.”  Ps 104:13 NI

“God is” (7)

Have you ever wondered why nowhere else in the universe do we find water in any abundance, except here on earth? To date, all our telescopes and space travelers confirm that. Water, the amazing solvent, dissolves almost everything upon this earth except those things that are life-sustaining. This amazing liquid we take for granted exists as ice, breaks up rocks, and produces soil. As snow, it stores up water in the valleys. As rain, it waters and cleanses the earth. As vapor, it provides moisture for much of the arable land on earth. It exists as cloud cover in just the right amount. If it had clouds like Venus, the earth couldn’t support life. But we have exactly 50 percent of the surface of the earth covered by clouds at any one time, allowing just the right amount of sunlight to filter through. As steam, for centuries water has run some of the most powerful machinery we have. Other than bismuth, it’s the only liquid heavier at four degrees Celsius than it is at freezing. If this were not so, life as we know it could not exist on this planet. Therefore when it’s frozen it’s lighter and it rises. If this wasn’t the case, our lakes and rivers would freeze from the bottom up and kill all the fish; the algae would be destroyed, oxygen supply would cease, and mankind would die. So when you feel like God doesn’t notice you or care about you, drink a glass of water and say, “Thank you, Lord!”

“You give life to everything.”  Ne 9:6 NIV


“God is” (6)

Let’s look at another miracle of God’s creative genius: the nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen is extremely inert—if it wasn’t we’d all be poisoned by different forms of nitrous combinations. However, because of its inertness, it’s impossible for us to get nitrogen to combine naturally with other things. But it’s definitely needed for plants in the ground, so what provision does God make for getting it out of the air and into the soil? Lightning! A hundred thousand lightning bolts strike our planet daily, creating a hundred million tons of usable nitrogen plant food in the soil every year. Forty miles up, there’s a thin layer of ozone. If compressed it would be only a quarter of an inch thick, yet without it life wouldn’t be sustainable. Eight killer rays continually fall on our planet from the sun; without ozone we’d be burned, blinded, or boiled. The ultraviolet rays come in two forms: longer rays, which are deadly and are screened out, and shorter rays, which are necessary for life on earth and are administered through the ozone layer. Furthermore, the most deadly of these rays are allowed through the ozone layer in a very limited amount, just enough to kill the green algae which otherwise could grow to fill the lakes, rivers, and oceans of the world. No doubt about it, we are totally dependent on God’s goodness. That’s why the Psalmist said, “All look to you to give them their food at the proper time. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things” (Ps 104:27-28 NIV). We have an awesome God!

Epic.

Pray before sex?

Hummmmmm! Well, maybe if you and your partner is looking for the fruit of the womb sha. Except, if you are stealing someone's yam...., so, pray for protection over magun.

Lol!

Sportsmen should learn how to manage their health properly all the time. Health I believed is wealth. How can Peter so balloon up like this in the picture above? I expect someone with good athletic body out of him.

Anyway, death doesn't need any excuses to snap someone. I just felt for the guy that dying at the age of 41 years, he hasn't fulfil much out of live.

Rest on Peter. Pray the Lord to console his wife, kids and extended family.

“The moon marks off the seasons.”  Ps 104:19 NIV

“God is” (5)

Here’s an amazing thing: Without the moon it would be impossible for us to live on this planet. And if anyone ever succeeded in deflecting the moon from its orbit, all life would cease. It acts like a maid to clean up the oceans and the shores. Without the tides created by the moon, our harbors and shores would become one big stench pool of garbage and it would be impossible to live anywhere near them. Because of the tides, continuous waves break upon the shores of the ocean, aerating the waters of the planet and providing oxygen for plankton, the very foundation of our food chain. Without plankton there would be no oxygen, and all life would end. God is a creative genius, isn’t He? He made the moon the right size, and placed it the right distance from the earth to create the exact atmosphere we need. We live within a great ocean of air—78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen. These elements are continually mixed by the tidal effect of the moon upon the atmosphere. This has the same effect it has upon the seas, and always provides the same proportion of oxygen. Though we keep dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it’s absorbed into the ocean and we’re able to continue to live. If the atmosphere wasn’t as thick as it is, we’d be crushed by billions of pieces of cosmic debris and meteorites that fall continually upon our planet. Who takes good care of you? God! And He’s on the job twenty-four/seven! Aren’t you glad?

“I…made the earth and created mankind upon it.”  Isa 45:12 NIV 

“God is” (4)

Ever wonder why we’ve failed to find life on any other planet, yet ours is designed to sustain us and meet our most basic everyday needs? It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Do you think it’s just a coincidence? Not according to the Bible. In it God says, “I…made the earth and created mankind upon it.” Did you know that if the earth was 10 percent larger or 10 percent smaller, life as we know it wouldn’t be possible? Or that we’re just the right distance from the sun so we receive the right amount of heat and light? If we were any farther away we’d freeze, and if we were closer we wouldn’t be able to survive. Consider for a moment the amazing tilt of the axis of the earth. None of the other planets are tilted like ours at 23 degrees. This angle allows the sun’s rays to touch every part of the earth’s surface over the course of a year, as the earth circles the sun. If there was no tilt to the axis, the poles would accumulate enormous masses of ice, and the center of the earth would become so hot we couldn’t stand it. Like an excited parent designing a room for the arrival of their newborn child, God made this earth specifically for us. “For this is what the Lord says—he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited” (v. 18 NIV). That’s how much God cares for us.

Depression?

God please help console the family.

HungerBAD:
Are the Herdsmen spirits?

I am starting to suspect that there are people,who go about roaming and sacking communities pretending to be herdsmen.

Same thing is playing out around the Oil communities,where pipeline vandals and Militants are giving us difficulties differentiating between them.

Enugu,Delta,Kwara,Calabar,Lagos,Benue,Kogi,Plateau and nearly everywhere at once?these herdsmen are accused of many monstrosity. Are they up to that number to be this powerful?

Something tells me there are criminals parading as herdsmen. Because in the words of a popular Novelist and I quote.

" All Fishes eat human flesh,but it is the shark that takes the blame"

We keep blaming the sharks (Fulanis) but there might be other flesh eaters (Criminals)out there too.

The Government should endeavor to provide security,especially in the rural areas.

With your comment, nothing else needed to added again. Just for the government to take a drastic action now. God bless you bros.

“The Lord is…the Creator of…the earth.”  Isa 40:28 NIV

“God is” (3)

Contrary to what we’ve been led to believe, science and Scripture aren’t necessarily opposed. The ranks of Bible-believing scientists have grown rapidly since the discovery of quantum physics, which demonstrates the amazing symmetry and order that make up the universe. Did you know that one of the most brilliant scientific books of our time was written by no less than sixty notable scientists, including twenty-four Nobel Prize winners? The book’s title is Cosmos, Bios, Theos, which means Universe, Life, and God. And one of the contributing authors, Yale physicist Professor Henry Margenau, concludes, “There’s only one convincing answer” for the intricate laws that exist in nature. And what does this brilliant man think it is? Evolution? Coincidence? Happenstance? No! Margenau believes that “creation is by an omnipotent omniscient God.” So to believe in God is to believe in science…and the infallible Word of God. The Bible says: “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth…He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak…those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (vv. 28-31 NIV). That means through prayer you can tap into the greatest power and most loving care in the universe. Amazing! How you face each day depends on Who you’re looking to. So look to God. Put your trust in Him. “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed” (Pr 16:3 NIV).

“Lift your eyes…to the heavens; Who created all these?”  Isa 40:26 NIV

“God is” (2)

Many of the world’s greatest thinkers believe that God not only exists, but that He created the universe and its inhabitants. So the next time someone tells you that only simple, uneducated people believe in God—don’t buy it. Dr. Robert Jastrow, founder and director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies at NASA, writes in his blockbuster book, God and the Astronomers: “The astronomical evidence supports the biblical view of the origin of the world…The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same…Science has proved that the universe exploded into being at a certain moment…What cause produced this effect? Who or what put the matter or energy into the universe? Science cannot answer these questions…and for the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance…is about to conquer the highest peak, and as he pulls himself over the final rock he’s greeted by a band of theologians who’ve been sitting there for centuries.” Pierre-Simon Laplace, another of the world’s great astronomers, said that proof in favor of an intelligent God was infinitely more probable than that a set of writing implements thrown promiscuously against parchment would produce Homer’s Iliad. The evidence for God as opposed to the evidence against Him as the creator of this universe, is infinity to one. It can’t even be measured. So rejoice: “God is.” He’s accessible and available, if you’ll just take time to pray and invite Him into your life.
