People are really getting off @ their bus stop everyday.

What a waste in life? No wonder the bible says...... Vanity upon vanity, all is VANITY!

Meanwhile, enjoy your life while you can. Stop putting all the worries in the world on your head, because too much thinking can never add a day, even a minute to your expiry time on earth. Instead, be good and do good always.

Que Sera Sera!

Good evening & goodnight rest.

HateU2:

Sad news
RIP

not really a sad news though, because she was old enough @ 82. Just that she will be greatly missed.

#Adieu!

.... just wonder what will happens if somebody among the crowd should shout 'Bomb'!

I think the West Africa countries should come together on this deadly group. Of what use is their Ecowas if they cannot together defeat Boko boys.

A serious intelligent work needs to be done also to know who their sponsors are. So that they can curtail them from their source.

Death. A sure debt for every mankind.

Let us always remember.........

Rest in perfect peace mama Bukky Ajayi. You've came, you've seen and you've conquered in your own world.

“Therefore comfort one another with these words.”  1Th 4:18 NKJV 


Ministering to others (2)

Professor Tony Campolo once attended the funeral of an acquaintance, and by mistake ended up at the wrong funeral parlor. The body of an elderly man was laid out, and his widow was the only mourner there. She seemed so lonely, Campolo stayed for the funeral and then accompanied her to the cemetery. After the committal service, as they were driving away Campolo confessed that he hadn’t actually known the lady’s husband. “I thought so,” she replied. “I didn’t recognize you. But it doesn’t matter. You’ll never, ever, know what this means to me.” Philip Yancey writes: “Simple availability is the most powerful force we can contribute…We rightly disparage Job’s three friends for their insensitive response to his suffering. But read the account again: ‘When they came, they sat in silence beside Job for seven days before opening their mouths’…those were the most eloquent moments they spent with him. Instinctively I shrink back from people in pain. Who knows if they want to talk about their predicament or not? Do they want to be consoled or cheered up? What good can my presence possibly do? My mind spins out these rationalizations and as a result I end up doing the worst thing possible: I stay away…No one offers the name of a philosopher when I ask, ‘Who helped you the most?’ Most often they describe a quiet, unassuming person…who was there…who listened more than they talked, who didn’t keep glancing down at a watch, who hugged and touched, and cried… someone who was available and came on the sufferer’s terms, not their own.” That’s how you minister to others.

“God…comforts us…so that we can comfort [others].”  2Co 1:3-4 NIV

Ministering to others (1) 

Years ago a lady visited an orphanage and asked the matron, “Is there a child here nobody has offered to adopt?” The matron replied, “There is. She’s ten years old, not much to look at, and she has a hunchback.” The lady said, “That’s the child I want!” Thirty-five years later the director of the Orphanage Inspection Department in Iowa submitted the following report on a state-run facility: “This home is outstanding. It’s clean, the food’s good, the children are well-cared-for, and the atmosphere is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The matron, Mercy Goodfaith, has a soul that oozes love; she has such beautiful eyes I forgot how homely her face was—or that she was a hunchback.” Because a Good Samaritan had the courage to love and nurture a little girl others overlooked, Mercy Goodfaith went on to share that same love with hundreds of other orphans. Paul says, “God…comforts us…so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we…received.” And Billy Graham adds: “Those who have suffered the most are best able to comfort others …to empathize with [their] afflictions because of what they’ve experienced…Our sufferings may be hard to bear, but our goal should be to learn all we can from what we’re called to endure so we can fulfill a ministry of comfort as Jesus did. ‘Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted’ (Heb 2:18 NIV). The sufferer becomes the comforter in the service of the Lord.”.

“The children God has graciously given your servant.”  Ge 33:5 NIV

Dad, treasure your children

We live in a day when kids have never been given more of the things they want, and less of the things they need. What do they need? You! Not trinkets, treasures, and toys, but your love and your time. Read these unsettling words in a Newsweek column entitled, “Dear Dads, Save Your Sons,” by psychologist Christopher Bacorn. He tells about an anxious mother in her mid-thirties who came to his office with her fifteen-year-old son. The boy’s dad had left four years before. Since then the teenager had descended into alcohol, gang membership, and violence. The mother had nowhere else to turn, and it was obvious the boy was at best a hostile participant. After attempting for thirty minutes to crack the steel vault of this boy’s heart, Dr. Bacorn realized the futility of it all. He wrote these poignant and sad words: “I’ve come to believe that most adolescent boys can’t make use of professional counseling…What a boy can use, and all too often doesn’t have, is the fellowship of men—at least one man who pays attention to him, who spends time with him, who admires him. A boy needs a man he can look up to. What he doesn’t need is a shrink…As a nation we’re racked by youth violence, overrun by gangs, guns, and drugs. The great majority of youthful offenders are male, most without fathers involved in their lives in any useful way.” In Genesis we read that Jacob was a successful businessman, but he discovered that his greatest earthly treasure was “the children God has graciously given to your servant.” Dad, have you discovered that?

“Who works out everything in conformity with…his will.”  Eph 1:11 NIV

Your personalized road map

The Bible says before you were born: “Every day of [your] life was recorded…Every moment…laid out before a single day had passed” (Ps 139:16 NLT). God personalized a road map for your life “in conformity with…his will.” And it’s your job to discover it and walk within its confines. A respected pastor says: “You may know your ultimate destination, but need guidance on how to get there. First and foremost, ‘God’s Word is a lamp for your feet and a light for your path’ (Ps 119:105). He sees the big picture…the shortcuts and pitfalls…Don’t look for external guidance…the Holy Spirit lives inside you, and it’s from within that you’ll get the inside track.” Meditate on these Scriptures and make them personal prayers: “God has made us what we are…to do good works, which [He] planned in advance for us to live our lives doing” (Eph 2:10 NCV). “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives” (Ps 37:23 NLT). “You clear the way for me, and now I won’t stumble” (Ps 18:36 CEV). “Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (Pr 3:6 NLT). “Behind you a voice will say, ‘This is the way you should go,’ whether to the right or…left” (Isa 30:21 NLT). At the end of his life Paul could say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2Ti 4:7). Notice, sometimes Paul had to “fight” to stay on course, but by God’s grace he made it—and so will you!

Excellent. It make sense indeed.

Can you imagine, trying to cover the name of the company with paint? Is that the next thing to do?

Why won't transport companies re-educate their drivers about over speeding? Why won't drivers listen to passengers for words of advice when they caution then whenever they are speeding? Will drivers ever remember that 70% of our roads are not good?

Most of our roads accident can be avoided, but people will continue to just take things for granted. Most western countries even with their good roads still maintain a speed limits.

We should learn to kill our speeds instead of killing ourselves, it's better to be late than Late.

RIP to all the dead. Sincere condolences to all their families. What a pain to each home?

.....reading

........... meditation time.

@Ooni of Ife. Sir, if the Lord is for you, who can be against you? 'won ooo ti po to?'

Carry go sir, the Lord is behind, ahead, your right and left side. He who tries you shall continue to go to the other side and wait for you there.

One with God (Jesus) is a majority.

Let the glory of the Lord begin to shine on this land. And for the un-believers 'OYO' is your case.

“Its fruit looked delicious…So she…ate it.”  Ge 3:6 NLT

Overcoming temptation (4)

Let’s look at the first time in Scripture anyone was tempted and see what we can learn. The Bible says, “The serpent was the shrewdest of all the [creatures] the Lord God had made…he asked the woman, ‘Did God really say…?’” (v. 1 NLT). First, Satan will blind you to all the good things God has in store for you. Then he’ll take mood-altering substances like drugs or alcohol, or somebody else’s husband or wife, or Internet porn, and tell you it won’t hurt you. Don’t bite! He’s a liar! Don’t believe him! “Temptation comes from our own desires…These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters” (Jas 1:14-16 NLT). Any weakness that’s constantly indulged, excused, denied, or hidden has the power to enslave you. Failure to identify and target your weakness strengthens it. Ignoring your areas of vulnerability makes defeat inevitable. Satan has assigned certain people to feed your weaknesses. Be discerning. Your weakness will be drawn to any friendship that accepts it, enjoys it and feeds on it. It has an agenda of its own—to take over your life and sabotage God’s plan for you. It’ll always bond with the wrong people and make you uncomfortable in the presence of the right ones. And it can emerge at any time, including your latter years. So how do you overcome your weakness? Through willpower? No, through God’s power! And it’s available to you today—so reach for it!

“He ran from the house.”  Ge 39:12 NLT


Overcoming temptation (3)

The Bible says, “Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man, and Potiphar’s wife…began to look at him lustfully. ‘Come and sleep with me,’ she demanded. But Joseph refused. ‘Look,’ he told her, ‘my master trusts me with everything in his entire household…How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.’ She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her, and he kept out of her way as much as possible. One day, however, no one else was around when he went in to do his work. She came and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding, ‘Come on, sleep with me!’ Joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house” (vv. 6-12 NLT). Note the words: “She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day.” Joseph’s temptation kept happening when he was around a certain person: Potiphar’s wife. And it kept happening when he was in a certain place: Potiphar’s house. So he ran. Not because he was weak—but because he was wise! He understood that if you hang around temptation too long you’re playing with fire and setting yourself up to get “burned.” So, what people and what places do you need to avoid? What sources of temptation do you need to remove from your life in order to live victoriously? Remember the old Kenny Rogers song: “You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em; know when to walk away and know when to run”? God isn’t dishonored when you run—you’re dishonored when you don’t!

“I have given you…[physical and mental strength].”  Lk 10:19 AMP

Overcoming temptation (2)

Here’s a plan for victory: (1) No matter how often you fall, get back up! “Though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again” (Pr 24:16 NIV). Becoming spiritually mature is a lifelong process. It happens every time you turn to God in weakness and allow Him to do for you what you can’t do for yourself. (2) Don’t deny it, deal with it. “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted” (Ps 34:18 NAS). God always responds with grace to a repentant heart. He’ll meet you at your lowest point, walk with you through the valley of regret and repentance, and bring you out stronger. (3) Write down what you’ve learned through temptation. As you reflect on it you’ll see what needs to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Ro 12:2). And be sure to write down new habits you want to integrate into your life—prayer, accountability to a friend, Bible reading and memorization, identifying weak spots, and watching yourself more closely. (4) Use what you’ve learned. Jesus told Peter: “Satan hath desired to have you…But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” (Lk 22:31-32). Let today mark a new beginning by using what you’ve learned not only to avoid falling again, but to help others facing temptation. (5) Believe you can walk in victory. Jesus said, “I have given you…[physical and mental strength…] over all the power that the enemy [possesses].” Get rid of your “I can’t” attitude, and draw today on God’s strength.

Let the real crusade start.

Good man.
