Strengthening your marriage (1)

Mon, 8 Dec 2025

‘Honour one another above yourselves.’ Romans 12:10

No matter how good your marriage is, you can make it better. Author Jon Gordon writes:

‘My wife and I just celebrated our eighteenth wedding anniversary. We’ve learned and grown a lot…and I want to share some of our relationship lessons: (1) Choose wisely. One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is the person you marry. You know you’re with the right person when they give you strength. Looking back…there’s no way I could have done it without my wife. Her love, support, belief and encouragement gave me strength. She believed in me when no one else did. (2) Be willing to improve and grow. Early in our marriage our relationship wasn’t very good. I was young, selfish and quite negative. One day my wife had enough: ‘I love you but I’m not going to spend my life with someone who makes me miserable. You have to change.’ I looked at myself and realised she was right. So I became willing to change and to become a positive influence on my wife, my children and others. (3) Communicate. Communicate. Communicate! Most relationships break down because of poor communication. We’ve had disagreements over the years, but we always communicated, and this allowed us to grow stronger together. (4) Admit when you’re wrong. I’ve been wrong many times and admitted it. I’ve also admitted I was wrong even when I thought I wasn’t. I knew my wife was bothered, and it was more important for her to feel loved than for me to feel right. It takes maturity and a willingness to focus on your spouse more than your ego.’

If they born any of those bandits well, make them try to kidnap one of those delegates.

Amen & amen in Jesus name 🙏

I've not eating just 4 or 5.

You’re walking a ‘Prepared’ path

Sun, 7 Dec 2025

‘Created…to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ Ephesians 2:10

The word ‘prepared’ derives from an ancient custom of sending servants ahead of a king to have things ready for his arrival. But the King of Kings goes in advance of His servants and prepares the road ahead of us.

We don’t know this in advance, so we have to overcome our fears, step out in faith, and follow Him. And as we look back, we can say, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life’ (Psalm 23:6 KJV). In Ephesians 2:10, notice the words ‘good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ When you follow God, you’re walking a prepared path. It’s important to keep this in mind. When you find yourself in difficult circumstances, you need to know that God is directing your footsteps (See Psalm 37:23). You have assurance because you know that God has considered every contingency in your life and that He always has your best interest at heart. The psalmist David wrote: ‘O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it’ (Psalm 139:1–6 NKJV). If David, whom God called ‘a man after My own heart’ (Acts 13:22 NKJV), couldn’t take it all in, you won’t either. But God is not asking you to figure Him out; He is just asking you to trust Him.

At 23, she cured leprosy. At 24, she was gone.
And for 90 years, a white man took credit for her work.

This is the story of Alice Augusta Ball — the genius they tried to erase.

She grew up in Seattle in the early 1900s, in a family that believed Black brilliance was worth investing in.
Her grandfather was one of the first Black photographers in America.
Her mother scrubbed floors so she could buy Alice a microscope.

That gift changed the world.

Alice devoured chemistry like it was oxygen.
She earned two bachelor’s degrees.
Published research while still a student.
Then moved to Hawai‘i — and became:

✨ The first woman to earn a master’s in chemistry at UH
✨ The first Black woman to graduate with that degree
✨ The first woman chemistry professor in the school’s history

She was 23 years old.

But while she was teaching, she saw something far more urgent than academia:

Hansen’s disease — leprosy.

A diagnosis meant exile.
You were ripped from your home and shipped to an island to die alone.

There was a treatment —
a bitter, sticky oil that barely worked and caused excruciating pain.
Many refused it. Many still died.

Alice refused to give up.

In her laboratory, she found the answer no one else could:

She transformed that thick oil into a form the body could actually absorb.
A breakthrough injection that finally saved lives.

Patients began recovering.
Families were reunited.
People who had been condemned were suddenly healing.

Her discovery became known as the Ball Method.

She changed medical history before most people finish college.

And then — she was gone.

At just 24, a mysterious lab accident took her life.
She never saw the miracle she created.

Then came the theft.

The university president — a white chemist named Arthur Dean — took her research, stripped off her name, and renamed it:

“The Dean Method.”

For decades…

📌 His name went in textbooks
📌 His name was praised by doctors
📌 His name received the credit

Her name nearly vanished from history entirely.

A theft so quiet, most people never even knew a crime was committed.

It took 90 years for the truth to finally surface.

Researchers uncovered Alice’s original papers.
Her work.
Her brilliance.
Her signature breakthroughs.

The spotlight shifted. The lie crumbled.

And today the world knows:

It was The Ball Method — ALWAYS.

Alice Ball cured a disease that had destroyed lives for centuries.
She freed families.
She saved thousands of people from isolation and death.
And she did it all in one year.

Imagine what she could’ve done with a lifetime.

Alice Ball deserved a Nobel Prize.
She deserved statues.
She deserved to be the name every science student memorizes.

Instead, she was buried under silence…

Until now.

We speak her name because history refused to.
We honor her because others didn’t.
We remember her because she earned it.

Alice Augusta Ball (1892–1916)
The chemist who changed the world before she had time to live in it.

Good advice though to the youths.

This is so disheartening..... RIP to the pilot

RIP ba wo? They survived it. Don't you read to understand nii? 🤷

Hezzyluv:
A wrap of Fufu is ₦500, two wrap is ₦1,000 and bottle water is ₦300. Totalling ₦1,300. Is it the remaining 700 that can buy you beaf, fish and the rest?

I disagree with the prive of fufu. It's N200 here in Lagos for wrap.

Dapo Abiodun still remains the worst governor to rule in Ogun State.

Be careful what you watch

‘I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar.’ Psalm 101:2-3

As a teen, Megan arrived home from school just in time to watch an hour of soap operas before doing her homework. She enjoyed the escape into the TV world and wasn’t aware that the programs were arousing sexual curiosity in her.

After years of exposure to these soaps, her perspective on life took a shift. She began to think, ‘Relationships don’t need to be pure. In fact, the impure ones seem more exciting. Fidelity doesn’t matter, as long as a person is happy.’ As a college student, Megan found it easy to participate in one-night stands. Then after a short marriage ended in catastrophe as a result of her infidelity, she sought help from a counsellor. At first it was difficult for the counsellor to understand why Megan engaged in extramarital affairs. She had been a model teenager at home, church, and school, as far as her public behaviour was concerned. Finally the counsellor discovered the source of the temptation that drove Megan to participate in her supposed hidden life. What you watch on television and the internet becomes part of your memory bank. You’re putting images on file that Satan will use against you. David’s affair with Bathsheba started with a wrong look and ended up bringing tragedy to his family. Later David wrote: ‘I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar…I will reject perverse ideas and stay from every evil…I will search for faithful people to be my companions’ (vv. 2–4, 6 NLT).

Humm......the Lord will reveal more of their evil agenda in Jesus name 🙏.

Wahala for person with jealous.

Mine still say "Dear, your food is served". And I will pretend that I'm not interested (when I knew so well that hunger dey wire me like kilode.......lol).

Traveling light

Fri, 5 Dec 2025

‘‘When I sent you out without a wallet, bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?’ They said, ‘Nothing.’’ Luke 22:35

Jesus said, ‘Watch out! Guard yourself against all kinds of greed. After all, one’s life isn’t determined by one’s possessions, even when someone is very wealthy.’ (Luke 12:15 CEB).

We live in a materialistic society that’s obsessed with accumulating stuff. But the more you have, the more you have to worry about. So, what do you suppose Jesus wanted to teach His disciples when He sent them out ‘without a wallet, bag, or sandals’? Author Cynthia Ruchti asks: ‘Was He showing them He was all they would ever need? Did He want them to learn dependence on Him? Was He instructing them in the humility of accepting help from others—a bed for the night, a meal, a borrowed coat when temperatures dropped? Did He hope they would realize they could get along with fewer belongings? That their success depended on traveling light? That they would be safer from thieves along the journey if they had nothing worth stealing? Was it focus that Jesus cared about most? With nothing in their hands to distract them, would the disciples cling more diligently to His words and to the ministry of caring for people’s physical and spiritual needs? The more I think about it, the more value I see in the ‘no baggage’ directive. What if I walked into my day, conscious of a no-wallet, no-extra-sandals mentality, intensely focused on Jesus, on His words and His mission—the mission He passed on to us? What if I measured success not by how much I accumulated but on how little I need to survive if I stay close to Jesus? What would I lack? Nothing!’

It's fair enough. Abia top the list sha 🤔

......and what did he do when he was there?

I know see Ibas name in the list now? 🤷

I think FRSC. VIO is meant for the inspection of the vehicle. While Police are to control the crime on the road.

Way to go. Bring nonsense, you will see nonsense

Everyone has what work for them. I can't really have a deep sleep with the light on in my bedroom at night. But I've had people having arguments against it that it's better to have the light on while sleeping because of different reasons. Some says to guide them against bad/evil spirits or to make them conscious of the happening around them.

What work for you?

Good morning everyone.

Become a better listener

Thu, 4 Dec 2025

‘Don’t ever forget…it is best to listen.’ James 1:19

When you take time to listen to another person, you don’t just give them a gift—you give yourself one.

Dr. Juli Slattery observes: ‘Everyone is attracted to a good listener. How ironic that you can major in communications and never take a class on one of the most fundamental aspects of communicating—listening… Perhaps the most powerful mode of sharing the gospel, saving your marriage, and making friends is to truly listen. We feel loved by those who take the time to hear our story and ask insightful questions…’ ‘Here are three ways to become a better listener: (1) Become curious. Every person you meet is interesting… On the surface they may drone on about something you don’t care about, but underneath is an interesting story if you take time to dig for it. For me, the first step to listening is finding something to be curious about… After 20 years of marriage, I still want to be curious about my husband… to know what God is teaching him… what he’s looking forward to, and what made him laugh today. (2) Maintain eye contact. Because we can’t gauge listening by looking at someone’s ears, we look at their eyes… We show our children, spouses, friends, and even strangers respect when we give them focused attention. (3) Go beyond the words you hear. We only communicate a portion of what we want to express through words. The rest comes through body language, tone, and even silence.’ Proverbs 12:15 says: ‘A fool thinks he needs no advice, but a wise man listens to others’ (TLB). As much as you may like the sound of your own voice—you become wise by learning to listen.

When do we get the answer to know the real killer? I'm not a detective abeg.

Selling markets through a right channels into a wrong hands twice. July & September......

Imagine? When Nigeria is burning? 🤔

It is well.

Peace that defies human logic

Wed, 3 Dec 2025

‘The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and…minds in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:7

No matter what problems you’re grappling with, it’s good to know that the peace of God ‘which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and…minds in Christ Jesus.’

Author Lorie Newman said: ‘For me, that peace came when my husband lost his job… We were a one-income family with seven children, a mortgage, [and] bills. Would we lose our house? How could we feed our large family? These questions fogged my mind like suffocating smoke. But, in the midst of it, God tenderly spoke life into my worried heart… Unemployment remained. In fact, it remained for nearly two years. But day-by-day, step-by-step, the truth of God’s Word began to eclipse the despair and I had incredible peace! God’s Word came alive as never before as I navigated the turbulent waters of that rough season of life. I had read that God was my provider, but I began to know and experience him as my provider! What should have been a time of horrific stress…became a place of peace.’ When problems arise, our natural inclination is to panic. When we do that, we open the door for the Enemy to come in, get us off track, and make us feel victimised. Take these words of Jesus to heart: ‘My [own] peace I now give…you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed…do not permit yourselves to be fearful and…unsettled.]’ (John 14:27 AMPC).

A girl that both men were supposed to be protecting,.....because of their infidelity, they end up killing her.

What a shame 😞
