2sex:A friend of mine in Germany came to Nigeria late 90's pick this girl up from Ajegunle, married her and took her back to Germany. Less than 2 years, the lady have started sleeping around with other men, and to make things worse, she was sleeping with low profile guys to her husband. ......of-course my friend was heartbroken, he divorced her and promised never to have anything to do with women again. After so much persuasion, he later settled down again with a white lady and they were both happy till now. It's only God that knows who can make you happy, not face or look, neither money or intelligent. Remember, he who find a good wife, find favour from God. |
hurting:......can you stop all this childish behaviour? Brave up and act like a real man. Concentrate on getting yourself a very good job! and try as much as possible not to call her for now. If you continue like this, you will even become an item of irritation to her. Though, it could be difficult, but have you thought about how things could really be messy, if after settling down with her as husband & wife, and she still come up with this kind of story that she want to move on. What will be will be. A woman that loves you will love you for who you are and not what material things you have. Pray for a true loving woman to come your way. |
Did you say you are considering suicide? |

Saturday February 13 “If you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you.” Mk 11:25 NIV You must forgive them When asked which emotions contribute most to physical illness, a group of eminent doctors said, “Anger and unforgiveness.” That’s because over time they release deadly toxins into your body. One doctor said, “It’s not what you are eating, but what’s eating you that threatens your health.” When someone hurts you, there are four things you should do: (1) Talk to them. Now, there’s a right time, a right place, and a right way to do it. Before you say anything, ask God to guide your thoughts and words. Then say what’s in your heart in a loving, low-key, nonjudgmental way. After that, leave the rest with God. He can do a better job of changing things than you can. (2) Don’t retaliate. When you’re tempted to lash out at someone, stop and remember the price Jesus paid to take away the sins you commit. Seeing your offender through God’s eyes will help you to forgive just about anybody. (3) Let it go. As long as you dwell on the issue it’ll keep hurting you. You may let someone off your hook, but that doesn’t mean they’re off God’s hook. He will deal with them the right way and bring about the right result, which is something you can’t do. (4) Ask God to bless them. You say, “Are you serious?” Yes; Jesus said, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Lk 6:27-28 NIV). And when Jesus tells you to do something, He gives you the grace to do it. http://odb.org/ |

Friday February 12 “God has not given us a spirit of…timidity.” 2Ti 1:7 NLT Don’t intimidate, and don’t be intimidated One of the most famous intimidators in the Bible was Goliath. He boasted, “Come… and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” (1Sa 17:44 NKJV). But David didn’t have “a spirit of…timidity,” so he replied, “This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head” (v. 46 NIV). Intimidators count on you to wilt in the face of verbal attack. That’s why you must let them know you refuse to give in, and that you have the God-given strength to resist their tactics. God never intended anyone to oppress or dominate another person. So stand up for yourself today in His strength! And if you are the intimidator, ask yourself why you feel the need to gain power and control over others. Indeed, you may need the help of a seasoned counselor to help you work through it. Intimidators often grow up in a chaotic or negative environment in which they feel powerless to change their circumstances. As a result they vow never to allow their lives to be out of control again, so they seek control instead. But their so-called strength just masks their insecurities and fears. Whatever the cause, intimidators can never hope to have a meaningful relationship with anyone they force into submission. And since the spirit of intimidation doesn’t come from God, there’s only one other source—Satan. Understand this: God is in control of every aspect of your life, so you’ve no need to control, or be controlled by the behavior of others. http://odb.org/ |
Thursday February 11 “Your Father knows exactly what you need!” Mt 6:8 NLT How to pray Jesus said: “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!” (vv. 7-8 NLT). When people say, “I don’t know how to pray,” what they usually mean is that they don’t know how to pray like us. They don’t know how to use our “Christian jargon.” Jesus says you don’t need to worry about getting the words right because “your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him.” God’s listening to our hearts more than our words. We don’t have to be self-conscious; He’s not grading us on how well we express ourselves. Compare prayer to breathing. You breathe instinctively without awareness and conscious attention; it’s a natural expression of our moment-by-moment dependence on oxygen. That’s how God wants us to engage in our communication with Him. He wants to be the air we breathe and the environment in which we live. Edwin Keith said, “Prayer is exhaling the spirit of man and inhaling the Spirit of God.” Through prayer we can live in continuous contact with God. Jesus said, “Pray to your Father secretly, and your Father, who knows your secrets, will reward you” (v. 6 TLB). Prayer isn’t a public demonstration of how spiritual you are. Communication with the One we love calls for getting alone with Him, away from interruptions and distractions. It’s about you and your Father having an intimate talk. http://odb.org/ |
Pidggin:I don't understand your calculations? At what price will the PMS be, if Jonathan & Co Ltd were allowed to remove the subsidy during their regime? And, don't you know by now that, if at all they removed the subsidy then, they wouldn't be unable to still give a/c on it? We are still on the arms deal probing, some of you were shouting witch-hunting, what will happen when the NNPC probing season will start? ![]() |

Wednesday February 10 “Do not be quickly provoked.” Ecc 7:9 NIV Your anger is doing damage Angry outbursts are destructive in all relationships, especially in your home. Children are the most vulnerable to parental anger, and they mirror their parents’ behavior. We shape our children’s destiny by our words, behaviors, and attitudes, and if they’re raised in a home that’s consistently high-volume, they’ll react similarly. Your actions are training your children to be hysterical and violent. Soon everyone will be overreacting, flying into fits of rage, and attacking one another. When you exhibit tantrum-like behavior you’re acting out of a selfish need to get what you want, when you want it, in the way you think you ought to have it. Please—for your family’s sake—start acting like an adult; exhibit self-control. “Imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Heb 6:12 NKJV). Notice, you must have faith and patience. You may not be able to control what happens in life, but you can certainly control your reaction. Whether it’s the anger a father brings home from the workplace, or a wife’s anger toward her husband, it can bring a curse. Simeon and Levi harbored anger in their hearts and became vicious and vindictive murderers. Because of this, a curse came upon them, and the anger was passed down from generation to generation (See Ge 49). You must break the curse by resisting the temptation to let anger dictate your behavior. In the words of James: “My dear brothers, take note…Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires” (Jas 1:19-20 NIV). |
Beautiful insight. |
Tuesday February 9 “The Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all.” 1Th 3:12 NKJV Express your love As C. W. Vanderbergh wrote, “To love the whole world for me is no chore. My only real problem is my neighbor next door.” Most businesses would benefit greatly if bosses truly loved their employees, and the workers knew it. Most marriages would be happier, if spouses heard and saw constant reminders that they were loved by their mates. Most families would be happier, if parents consistently and lovingly affirmed their children. Tim Sanders, who wrote Love Is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends, tells us love is the crucial element in the search for personal and professional success. He goes on to say that if life was an iPhone, love would be the first app you should add. Sanders is on to something! The greatest leaders are loving leaders—their followers, friends, and employees know they have their best interests at heart. Stop and think about this: Would you say the people who made the greatest and most lasting impact on you were the ones you felt genuinely loved and cared about you? Of course you would! And that’s how you’re supposed to treat others. The songwriter said, “Love wasn’t put in your heart to stay; love isn’t love till you give it away.” Here are four good reasons for saying “I love you” on a regular basis: (1) You need to say it. (2) You need to hear yourself say it. (3) Others need to hear you say it. (4) You need to hear it from others. So don’t be afraid to say those three little words! Once you start—you’ll never go back! http://odb.org/ |

Monday February 8 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Pr 14:12 NKJV Doorways Imagine a long, dark hallway with a series of doors on either side. Written on each one is the name of an addiction such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs, pornography, gambling, etc. Your teenager must walk down that hallway on their journey to adulthood, and their temptation to open those doors will be great. They can hear the beat of the music and the raucous laughter of their friends echoing from inside. The pressure to join them can be enormous. And it’s very difficult to convince a fun-loving adolescent that they should stay in the dark hallway, which seems so boring and embarrassing. Unfortunately for a certain percentage of individuals who open one or more of these doors, a tragedy begins to unfold. If a person is susceptible—and there’s no way to know in advance—he or she only has to crack the door an inch or two and a monster will run out and grab them. And some will be held in its grip for life. If you talk to an addict about his or her addiction you’ll learn that it probably began casually—with no hint that life was about to take a tragic turn. It all started with opening a door. Solomon bottom-lines it in two Scriptures: (1) “My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. If they say, ‘Come with us’…do not walk in the way with them, keep your foot from their path” (Pr 1:10-11,15 NKJV). (2) “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” http://odb.org/ |
