.....you sure your brother's wife is not sick or pregnant during your visit? did you not observe if your brother was happy doing all those errands with happiness? Whatever happens, it might just be a wrong timing for your visit, and you cannot tell too, maybe your brother has committed one serious offence that she is punishing him for. ![]() |
TonyeBarcanista:Read 2nd Kings 5:17-19 for more insight on it. |
Monday January 4 “Do you look at things according to the outward appearance?” 2Co 10:7 NKJV Take another look (2) Paul makes it clear that there are qualities we haven’t yet discovered or discerned in some of the people around us. Most of our conclusions are based on limited and often flawed information. God saw qualities in David his own family didn’t recognize. To them he was just a shepherd boy. In fact, when he showed up at the battlefront and offered to fight Goliath, his oldest brother, Eliab, told him to go home and mind his own business. Yet within hours David had killed Goliath and his name had become a household word in Israel. Joseph’s brothers resented the dream God had given him, and his father’s favor toward him. Nevertheless he went on to become prime minister of Egypt and ended up taking care of his entire family during a famine. The lesson in all of this is: Be careful how you treat people who get under your skin! Learn to look past outward appearances. Remember Ruth, a peasant girl gathering barley who went on to become the boss’s wife? Somebody like her may one day end up signing your paycheck, so bless her and treat her well. And learn to look beyond the distraction of beauty. Remember Esther, and consider the fool Haman who underestimated the beautiful girl sitting beside the king. She knew something he didn’t; she had divine access to knowledge that would save her people and bring about Haman’s demise. It was just a matter of time. Bottom line: You never really know what’s taking place in someone else’s mind. So don’t be so quick to write them off—take another look! |

Worshipping of statue is equal to worshipping of idol. So, I will take it as they are worshipping idol. |
If President Buhari & APC will not seriously look into this police matter this year, then, APC & Buhari will be clueless. One of the major challenges Nigerians are facing are the police on our major roads. They are indeed a terror to both old and young. A complete menace on our ways. I hate them a lot. RIP to the young man. So sad that policemen has taken so much innocent life than the armed robbers. What a country? |
vooks:exactly. Different religions should be respected, because what God deals with is the mind/heart. But unfortunately, religions this days is been used as a political weapon. Therefore, for me it is "to your tent oh! Israel. ![]() |
vooks:worship, and every other day too, worship my Lord in my own way though. |
vooks:I think the first day. |
Thank you Lord of mercy, for another soul been saved. |
Sunday January 3 “Henceforth know we no man after the flesh.” 2Co 5:16 Take another look (1) What did Paul mean when he wrote, “Henceforth know we no man after the flesh”? Simply this: Instead of focusing on another believer’s faults and failings, try to see them as a regenerated spirit living in an unregenerated body. The fact is they’re “made right with God through Christ” (v. 21 NLT), and as such they have the potential to accomplish great things. No question, when it comes to forming relationships you must be discerning. The wrong people can hurt you and the right people can help you. But it’s not your job to go around “vetting” people based on your limited knowledge of them. If you could see them through God’s eyes and know what He has planned for them, perhaps you’d be less critical and more complimentary. Instead of looking down on them, you’d start looking up to them. And you’d invest time, love, and energy in them. Why? Because God is big on the law of reciprocity: “Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord” (Eph 6: . We give up on people because we can’t see what God sees, or understand what He’s doing. God’s looking at something He placed within them, something you can’t see. And He’s not finished with them, so withhold your judgment and criticism. What if God had written you off because of the mistakes you’ve made? Instead of looking for the worst in people, look for the best. And when you find it, nurture it and draw it out. In other words: Be willing to take another look! |

Saturday January 2 “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Pr 29:18 What’s your vision for this year? What are you planning to do with this New Year? What you set your heart on, will determine how you spend your time and energy. And it takes as much effort to live an unfulfilled life as a richly rewarding one. Scientists tell us the human brain has two billion megabytes of capacity, which means we all have lots of room for growth. One of the most rewarding things you can do this year is work to develop your mind. “Where there is no vision [sense of direction], the people perish.” Dissatisfaction doesn’t come from the absence of things, but the absence of direction. Too many of us merely exist because we’ve settled for less than God intended. The quality of your life will be determined by your vision, and the effort you’re willing to put into fulfilling it. So stop and make a written list of the areas where you’d like to grow this year, then tackle the three or four most important ones. Don’t get discouraged if the one you’re working on doesn’t want to cooperate; nothing great is ever created suddenly. Paul said, “I keep working toward the day when I will finally be all that Christ…wants me to be” (See Php 3:14). It’s a process; you have to keep plugging away. Some days it’ll feel like two steps forward and three steps backward. But don’t give up. It’s better to die for something than to live for nothing! And unless you try something beyond what you’ve already mastered, you won’t grow. So what are you waiting for? Life? It’s waiting for you—so get going! |
Olorun shanu ooooo. Ninu odun titun! |
Happy New Year Mr. President. Thank you for the message of hope. Though many are disputing you, but I'm one of the few that believe in your leadership. The Lord will continue to grant you wisdom, knowledge and understanding like King Solomon, so that you will continue to rule us rightly. All your enemies, though may appear from one direction, but they will flee from you one thousand and one ways in Jesus name. The Lord will grant you good health and sound mind to make the right decision IJN. It's sure that with God on your side to lead us, Nigerians are more than hopeful this 2016. |
New Year’s Day – Friday January 1 “I know the plans I have for you.” Jer 29:11 NIV This year ask God for His plan! God says, “I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you…plans to give you hope and a future…pray to me, and I will listen to you” (vv. 11-12 NIV). This year ask God for His plan. It’s miserable playing a part for which you’re ill-suited. It’s like walking in shoes that don’t fit. So…what are you good at? What do you enjoy doing most? What accomplishments make you feel best? List five moments in your life when you were acutely aware of this feeling of fulfillment. Does this reveal anything about your purpose? If money wasn’t a consideration, how would you fill your days? How does this compare with where you are now? What one small step can you take right now—one phone call made, one letter written, one email sent—to move you toward your true calling? What have you learned about your purpose through failure? Are some areas clearly not a part of your calling at all? Who do you admire for the way they’ve applied their talents? Why are you like them? What can you learn from them? How would you describe your vision for your life this year? Or five years from now? Or ten? Who are the people in your life who really get who you are? Have you asked them what they think your purpose might be? Have they given any indication of how they think you should use your talents? If you could write your own obituary, what would you want it to say? What would you like to be remembered for? As you begin the New Year, ask God for His plan. |
Happy fantastic new year to all nairalanders.........lol ![]() |
Mine is working like seriously. Happy new year in advance guys, less than 2 hours to go from here into the new year. |

Good made in Nigeria products. But banks and multinationals needs to encourage the company by buying from them instead of buying the imported one. No matter what the quality could be now, there's a room for an improvement. |
Idamu olowo! Wasn't this the same Dr. Adeleke that was having a divorce case in Osun state the other day, and asked all the journalist to be thrown outside from the court? What a family they are? No wonder, the bible says that fool begat fool, stupid begat stupid, idiot begat idiot. What lesson is the silly old man trying to teach his young kids (both David and Cocoyam)? It's obvious that the the man & his family are too arrogant and all they depend on is money power. I would have expect the man to have iron things out between David and Sophie without any roar,...but instead, what do we have here? a silly man bragging around as if naa him picture dey inside the N1000 note. Fools and their money sha? |
![]() If we comment now, they will not let us talk. How can a brother been doing this to a sister? Except the sister is part of the syndicate too. Anyway, I wish them all, good luck. |

New Year’s Eve – Thursday December 31 “Others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire.” Jude v. 22 NKJV Get involved! When someone you love gets into a situation that can hurt them—get involved! The Bible says, “On some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire” (vv. 22-23 NKJV). The Greek word for “save” means “to take immediate, decisive, and continuous action.” Here the word “fear” means “a strong dose of respect for something that’s life-threatening, dangerous, or alarming.” And the phrase “pulling them out of the fire” means you don’t have a moment to waste. The house is burning down and they’re asleep. Break down the door and drag them out if you have to, but save them! Eugene Peterson paraphrases it: “Go after those who take the wrong way” (v. 22 TM). Don’t sit back and say, “It’s not my responsibility.” It is! The Good Shepherd left ninety-nine sheep to go after the one that was lost—and He didn’t stop until He found it. Then He put it on His shoulders and brought it back to the safety of the fold. Is there a chance you’ll be misunderstood, criticized, and rejected? Sure, but as Paul says, “The love of Christ controls [compels; drives] us.” (2Co 5:14 NCV). When you love the people Jesus loves, you don’t have a choice! You say, “But I won’t know what to say!” Then pray: “Lord, help me to know exactly what to say and do. Give me wisdom and boldness to say what needs to be said. Help me to love them enough to tell them the truth while there’s still time. Use me as an instrument of Your grace to reach them before it’s too late. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” |
After the war, the Israelites came to Moses and said, "we counted....NO ONE IS MISSING" (Num 31 vs 49), By December 31st, i pray NONE WILL BE MISSING IN YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME Amen. Happy New Year in advance Nairalanders! |
