Aren't the Pastors the new Levites now? |
Hummmm! |
Not going to university is definitely not the end of world. |
But if Baba Sege is wise enough, he will start preparing his ways by returning all he has taken by force from the people especially from the poor. For example, Baba should do something about the land between Ota and Lafenwa area. The land is just fenced up without any development and it's not bringing any development to the area at all. Sometimes, going through that road, I wondered what's the difference between Obasanjo & Gbanga Daniel? Just similarities though, and others like them. "Association of fools" ![]() |
......but, the man doesn't seem happy though? ![]() |
For just N7,000 fake notes, those 2 would have been burnt if not for the intervention of the civil defence corps. Lord, help us heal our land in Jesus name. |
Sunday March 6 “Who is equal to such a task?” 2Co 2:16 NIV Do you feel inadequate? In Second Corinthians chapter two Paul asks the question, “Who is equal to such a task?” And in chapter three he answers it: “Our competence comes from God” (2Co 3:5 NIV). We’re aware of our limitations when it comes to meeting the needs of our families, fulfilling the demands of our jobs, persevering in spite of the energy drain and the chronic pain, battling a long-standing habit, learning a new job after being laid off, staying in a difficult marriage, and finding the strength needed to keep forging ahead when our dreams fail. We pretend we’ve got it together. We act like we’re capable of handling any situation, but deep down we know we’re not. The truth is, without God’s grace and power we are inadequate. This can be a tough concept for proud, assertive types to accept. It undermines their ego to have to acknowledge that without God they don’t know the right thing to do, the right way to do it, or where the power to do it will come from. It’s tough for them to admit they must consciously rely on Him at all times. But once you adopt that stance and start depending on God, you’re on the threshold of the life you’ve always wanted. What was the secret of Paul’s strength? “I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become” (2Co 12:10 TM). D. L. Moody said, “When a man has no strength, if he leans on God he becomes powerful.” Regardless of how long you’ve walked with Jesus, never forget that every ounce of your adequacy comes from Him. |

Saturday March 5 “Who am I, that I should go?” Ex 3:11 NIV Leaders are made, not born! Why does God call people who don’t necessarily feel qualified? So we’ll depend on Him more than we depend on ourselves. When God called Moses, he asked, “Who am I, that I should go?” When God called Gideon, he replied, “I am the least in my family” (Jdg 6:15 NIV). When God called Solomon, he said, “I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties” (1Ki 3:7 NIV). When God called Jeremiah, he replied, “I do not know how to speak” (Jer 1:6 NIV). Yet they all became great leaders. How did they do it? By saying yes to God’s call, learning from their mistakes and growing wiser, and drawing strength from God each day. So whether your God-given assignment in life seems large or small, you can grow into it. A vocal teacher once told Mary Martin, the famous American singer, that she had an inferior voice and would never make it in the field of music. But she determined otherwise, and for over half a century she reigned as one of the country’s most loved and popular singers. Mary overcame her seeming deficiency through determination and self-discipline. The Greek statesman Demosthenes had such a speech impediment as a boy that he was embarrassed to speak before a group. But he invested long hours by the sea in unrelenting practice to overcome his problem—and as a result, became one of the most famous orators of all time. You may not have a natural aptitude for leadership, but under God’s guidance you can develop into a leader. Why? Because even though you may be limited, the God who lives within you isn’t! |

Friday March 4 “What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” Ro 8:18 NLT When God calls you (4) Sometimes we view the call of God on our lives through rose-colored glasses. But hearing His call isn’t the same thing as falling into your dream career. When God called Jeremiah to preach to a people who refused to listen, he cried so much he became known as “the weeping prophet.” Our first response to a God-sized assignment is generally—fear. Henry Blackaby writes: “Some people say, ‘God will never ask me to do something I can’t do.’ I’ve come to the place in my life that if the assignment I sense God giving me is something I know I can handle, I know it’s probably not from God. The kind of assignments God gives in the Bible are always God-sized. They’re beyond what people can do, because He wants to demonstrate His nature, His strength…and His kindness…to a watching world.” Saying yes to God’s call often means putting in hours of effort when you’d rather not. And it doesn’t always reward you with the kind of recognition you’d hoped for. People may disapprove of what you’re doing and try to block you. For sure, it’ll involve trial and error and some false starts. And natural talent alone isn’t enough to honor your calling; you’ll need ideas, strength, and creativity beyond your own resources to do what God requires of you. Paul says, “We are labourers together with God” (1Co 3:9), because in order to succeed it has to be God and you doing it together. He doesn’t just call you to work for Him; He calls you to work with Him! |
Thursday March 3 “The Lord called Samuel again the third time.” 1Sa 3:8 NKJV When God calls you (3) You didn’t arrive on this planet with your calling pre-clarified and your gifts pre-developed. Discerning God’s calling usually involves attempts and failures. He called Samuel four times before he recognized the divine voice. Before Peter walked on the water he said, “‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You.’ And [Jesus] said, ‘Come’” (Mt 14:28-29 NAS). Here’s a lesson you can learn from this: You are not in charge of water-walking, Jesus is! It’s not about having power at your disposal to be used any time you choose, for whatever you please. Before you decide to get out of the boat you’d better be sure it’s what you’ve been called to—and that Jesus is the One calling you. God’s looking for more than impulsiveness. Sometimes we make reckless decisions about relationships, finances, or work, then rationalize them using the veneer of spiritual language. In many self-help books risk-taking is seen as commendable, but as a Christian the risks you take should be in direct response to God. If you’re a thrill-seeking personality you may be particularly susceptible in this area. Boredom can make you vulnerable, and tempt you to solve your problems by making rash decisions that are out of step with God’s will. There’s a fine line between “Thou shalt not be afraid” and “Thou shalt not be stupid”—one that’s easily blurred. Knowing when to step out of the boat and take a risk doesn’t just call for courage, it calls for wisdom to ask the right questions, discernment to recognize the Master’s voice, and patience to wait until He says, “Come!” |
This time, it's the husband that is caught cheating..... .........meanwhile, The Titanic was presumed to be the largest, safest and strongest luxury ship in the world before it embarked on its disastrous maiden voyage in April 1912. All kinds of people were welcomed on the ship for its first voyage. The rich, the famous, the elite, women, children, families and staff of the ship were all happy to be on board. It was billed to be the ship that could not sink, but it did sink on its first journey from Southampton to New York. This was one of the greatest tragedies of all time. After the ship sank, two lists were presented at the offices of The White Star Company (the company which built the Titanic). The list was simple. It had only two sections: ‘LOST’ and ‘SAVED’. People came to read these lists to find out if their loved ones had survived. Interestingly, before the journey so many things were important. Whether they worked on the ship or were on vacation? Whether they were rich or poor. Whether they were millionaires or peasants. Whether they were stockbrokers or not. Whether they were in first class or economy class. Whether they were men or women. Whether they had a lot of luggage or not. But after the sinking of the Titanic none of these things mattered anymore. Only one thing mattered- whether they were saved or lost. Dear friend that is how Eternity will be. A time will come when none of the things we have on this earth will matter. A time will come when it will not matter whether you are a man or a woman! A time will come when it will not matter whether you are rich or poor! What will matter is whether you are ‘LOST’ or ‘SAVED’ on the day you die and meet your creator! GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS TODAY!AND IF YOU ALREADY HAVE,LIVE FOR HIM!!!! share this with all your contact(it is someone's chance to make it to heaven) DONT SHARE LATER, SHARE NOW...NEITHER YOU NOR YOUR CONTACT,IS GUARANTEED 'LATER'......... be blessed !!!!!!!! |
Wednesday March 2 “God works through different [people] in different ways.” 1Co 12:6 PHPS When God calls you (2) Skilled potters recognize that when they press clay it presses back, giving them an indication of what it can and cannot become. Amateur potters often lack that discernment—and the end work proves it. When you don’t honor your raw material, reality becomes your enemy. The word vocation comes from the Latin word for “voice.” Discovering your calling involves listening very carefully. If you close your ears and pursue something you’re neither called nor equipped to do, you’ll end up living with anxiety that whispers, “You’re trying to do something God didn’t tell you to do.” The courage to acknowledge what you’re not brings great freedom; the lack of it imprisons you. Parker Palmer writes, “You cannot choose your calling; you must let your life speak.” Perhaps you were created to learn, and in so doing to benefit others. If you are, you’ll find yourself drawn to reading, reflecting, writing, and teaching. However, if you’re convinced (or allow others to convince you) that you must be a corporate success in order for your life to count, you’ll always be sawing against the grain of your life. Instead, learn to ride the horse in the direction it’s going. Philosopher Mortimer Adler writes about brilliant minds called to sit at the table of what he terms “the great conversation of the human race.” Well, guess what? Ninety-nine percent of us will never sit at that table! But we can look forward to the commendation: “Well done…good and faithful servant” (Mt 25:21), that God promised to those who hear His call, accept it, and devote their lives to fulfilling it. |
Sparkles003:You are very right. I agreed with you, meanwhile, we all should think about this: The Titanic was presumed to be the largest, safest and strongest luxury ship in the world before it embarked on its disastrous maiden voyage in April 1912. All kinds of people were welcomed on the ship for its first voyage. The rich, the famous, the elite, women, children, families and staff of the ship were all happy to be on board.

Another wife been caught again? ![]() Wahala waa ooo!

Tuesday March 1 “Give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord.” 1Co 15:58 NIV When God calls you (1) A career is something you choose; a calling is something you receive. A career is something you do for yourself; a calling is something you do for God. A career promises status, money, and power; a calling generally promises difficulty, suffering, and the opportunity to be used by God. A career may end with retirement and lots of toys; a calling doesn’t end until you die. A career can be disrupted by any number of events, but God enables you to fulfill your calling even in the most difficult circumstances. For some people in Scripture obeying the call of God meant living in slavery, being captured and sent into exile, or being put to death. Their career trajectories didn’t look promising, yet they fulfilled their calling in extraordinary ways. Chuck Colson had one of the highest profile careers in America. He had access to power and influence in the Nixon White House, yet he landed in prison. His career was over, but his calling was just beginning. He was called to reach others just like himself. He reflects: “The real legacy of my life was my biggest failure—that I was an ex-convict. My great humiliation—being sent to prison—was the beginning of God’s greatest use of my life; He chose the one experience in which I couldn’t glory [and used it] for His glory.” In the providence of God, the end of your career can be the beginning of your calling. So whatever God has called you to do, the Bible says, “Give yourselves fully to the work…because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” |
If there's any other words to be used after "shame"? |
Monday February 29 “We are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith.” Ro 5:1 AMP Knowing where you stand with God Until you understand how God views you, you’ll struggle for His approval and worry that you never measure up. Is that how you feel today? If so, meditate on the following Scriptures and let them remove your doubts. (1) “Through Him we…become…[acceptable and in right relationship with] [God]” (2Co 5:21 AMP). Unworthiness is one of the greatest weapons Satan has against you, so take it out of his hands. In a sense, God has put a screen between you and Himself; it’s the blood of Jesus. And when He looks at you through that screen He sees you as righteous and forgiven of all sins. That’s why we call it “amazing grace.” (2) “[Righteousness, a right standing acceptable to God] will be…credited to us…who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God” (Ro 4:24 AMP). Did you get that? All the righteousness needed to get into heaven—is credited to your account the moment you put your trust in Christ. As a Christian there’s a difference between your position and your condition. When you sin, it affects your condition. But your fixed position is “in Christ” (Ro 8:1). You say, “But what about my shortcomings?” That’s your condition, and the Holy Spirit is working on it every day (See 2Co 3:18). Transformation, which means “to change form,” is a daily process. And while you’re in that process God views you as righteous! In other words, righteousness isn’t a performance but a position. And God put you into that position the moment He saved you. Now you know where you stand with God. |
