Friday December 11 “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” Pr 22:6 NLT Negative ions Sometimes raising teenagers can be like sending an astronaut into space. Early space probes launched from Cape Canaveral in the 1960s created anxiety for the safety of the astronauts. It was especially intense when the spacecraft was reentering the earth’s atmosphere. At the most dangerous part of the journey, negative ions would accumulate around the heat shield and interfere with radio contact for about seven minutes. Seven-very-long-minutes! Finally the reassuring voice of Chris Kraft would break in and say, “We’ve made contact with Colonel Glenn again. Everything is A-OK.” In a very real sense, adolescence can be like that spacecraft. After the training of childhood, a thirteen-year-old is blasted into space with a flurry. Then something like “negative ions” begins to interfere with communication just as the adults want to be assured of the child’s safety. Why won’t your teen talk to you? Why has he or she disappeared behind a wall of silence? It’s a confusing and terrifying time. Fortunately, in a few years the first scratchy signals will begin to come through again and contact will be reestablished. The negative environment will gradually dissipate, and the “splashdown” during the early twenties can be a wonderful reunion for both generations. What should you as a parent do during this time? First, you must pray for them and stand on the truth of God’s Word: “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” Second, you must exercise patience. “Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (Jas 1:4 NKJV). |
Thursday December 10 “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.” Ge 28:15 NIV God’s guidance system (3) How come when someone talks to God we say, “They are praying,” yet when someone claims that God talks to them we think they are “flaky”? Has God suddenly stopped speaking to His children? Would you stop speaking to yours? John Calvin described God’s guidance as “the inner testimony of the Holy Spirit.” And Saint Ignatius called it “movements of the soul—thoughts, feelings, or desires…given to us by God.” They may come as a conviction of sin, an assurance of God’s love, or the call to do a certain thing, but they’re a “must” for the spirit-guided life. To hear from God you must be receptive, and sometimes—desperate! During a very bad time in Jacob’s life God appeared to him in a dream, saying, “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.” When Jacob awoke the next morning, he said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it” (v. 16 NIV). “Not aware”—does this describe you? As you read these words your thoughts are being guided by a human being: a writer. Don’t you think God can do the same, or better? In truth, God can guide your thoughts without the influence of intervening sounds or images. Look what happened to Samuel when he was a boy. God spoke to him one night in the temple, but he didn’t know it was God speaking. He needed the help of Eli the high priest to recognize the voice of God. But once he did, his life changed dramatically—and yours will too. |
Wish Siasia and the boys all the best. |

Wednesday December 9 “He guides the humble in what is right.” Ps 25:9 NIV God’s guidance system (2) How can you learn to be guided by the Lord? In three different ways: (1) Through prayer. Thomas Kelly wrote: “There’s a way of ordering our mental life on more than one level at once. On one level we may be thinking, discussing, seeing…but…at a profound level, we may also be in prayer…and have a gentle receptiveness to divine breathings.” (2) Through obedience. What use is God’s guidance if you’re not willing to follow it? And what about the guidance you’ve already received through the Scriptures but haven’t acted on? Frank Laubach, whose life was an experiment in listening to God, wrote: “I never lived…until I reached the place where I wholly…resolved and then re-resolved, that I’d find God’s will, and that I would do that will though every fiber in me said no, and that I would win the battle in my thoughts. It was as though some deep artesian well had been struck in my soul…Money, praise, poverty, opposition—these made no difference, for they will all alike be forgotten in a thousand years, but this spirit which comes to a mind set upon continuous surrender, this spirit is timeless life.” (3) Through faith. Have the words, “I believe the Lord told me,” been abused? Yes, they have! Sometimes religious leaders use them as a ploy to get what they want. But don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater! The truth is, you won’t grow spiritually if you close yourself off from the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You must believe—mind-blowing as it sounds—that God really can and does speak to us. |
Thank God that I made a right choice while voting. Thank God, that within me, I'm so happy that my vote is helping to make a new change for this country. Lord, I prayed that myself and others that voted for this change will live long to witness and enjoy the good thing they've done in Jesus name. Imagine someone that we were told did not have a secondary school certificate planning like this, compare to them that has PhD, plus one woman from world bank, but yet, nothing to show for it. Una never see anything, "bi oro Tope (bacco)... PDP, Ee fe ee laa!" |
I really don't see what those guys are doing to be honest. Take for instance in Lagos and the suburbs, you will find vehicles that are suppose to be off the road since 3 years ago, and yet, they still manage their ways pass the VIO, instead, you find them intimidating car owner with a dent on the windscreen or some stain on the body of the car. They can be so annoying sometimes though. |
God bless the Nigerian Army IJN. |

Tuesday December 8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you.” Ps 32:8 NKJV God’s guidance system (1) Before talking about what divine guidance is, let us be clear about what it’s not: (1) A last resort. We don’t think much about spiritual guidance until we face major questions like who to marry, what house to buy, and which stock to invest in. Spiritual guidance isn’t a hot line! The key to knowing whether you really desire God’s will lies in asking, “How often do I seek His guidance when I’m not facing difficulties?” (2) Only for a privileged few. In the Old Testament God made a donkey speak (See Nu 22:28). Now, what if the donkey had put on airs and considered itself an exalted spiritual class above all the other quadrupeds? (3) An excuse to do nothing. One man said he decided not to seek a certain job, because it would be a sign of God’s will if he got it without trying. So does that mean whatever happens as a result of our passivity is God’s will? That’s like sitting in the middle of the highway and saying, “If I don’t get run over by a car, I’ll know it’s God’s doing, and not me acting in the flesh.” (4) Playing it safe. Sometimes we don’t really want guidance; we want safety! Decision-making can be scary—and lonely. Even small decisions can create anxiety. God wants us to develop good judgment, and there’s no way to do that without making choices, taking risks, and occasionally failing. He wants mature children, not robots. His purpose isn’t just to get us to perform the right actions, but to become the right kind of people. |
I sincerely wish them all the luck in the world to achieve their aims. But, as i've earlier said that they should do everything with peace. |

Oluwa mo dupe ooooo. For those beating the drum of war every time, please take a moment out to think. Boko Haram (though, a war from the enemies within) had ravaged the lives of people and frustrated the effort of government too. But, with the help of Almighty God, all the enemies that is troubling this country Nigeria will be put to shame in Jesus name. |
Monday December 7 “In all things God works for the good of those who love him.” Ro 8:28 NIV God never wastes an experience No experience is ever wasted if you use it wisely. God can use what you’ve been through to develop you into the person He intended you to be. Moses grew up in a foster home. As the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter he spent forty years learning the language and ways of the Egyptians. What better preparation for understanding your enemy than being raised among them? But Moses needed to learn a few personal lessons too. So God took him into the desert for another forty years to tend sheep. The grandson of Pharaoh became a lowly shepherd. Nothing will humble you like having to take a job for which you’re overqualified, especially when your own failure put you there. But during those years on the poor side of town God taught Moses how to identify with hurting people. Finally, at eighty years old, he was ready to fulfill his calling. “God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’” (Ex 3:4 NIV). At this most unlikely place God revealed to Moses his calling as Israel’s deliverer. And even though he was afraid, made excuses, and raised objections, he ended up doing a brilliant job. The point is this: Moses’ eighty years in training weren’t wasted. Forty years in a palace prepared him to deal with Pharaoh, and forty years as a shepherd prepared him to lead God’s people through the wilderness to their destiny. So even though you’d rather be someplace other than where you are right now, remember, God never wastes an experience. Never! He will use it all for your good and His glory. |

Prayer for divine healing for you in Jesus name. Try as much as possible to turn your life to Christ now, and if possible, to make restitution of everything wrong you have done. It is well with you. |

Sunday December 6 “There is a place near me where you may stand.” Ex 33:21 NIV In the eye of the storm If you’ve ever been caught in a hurricane, you know it’s one of the most powerful natural forces known to man. Wind gusts of up to 155 miles an hour; rain up to 5 inches an hour; the ability to create waves 10 stories high, and storm surges of up to 25 feet. It’s been known to level entire cities in minutes. Two components of a hurricane are especially interesting. One is the eye—that relatively calm center in which sinking air inhibits cloud and thunderstorm development. And immediately surrounding the eye is the eyewall, which contains rising air and powerful rain clouds. In sharp contrast to the calm eye, the eyewall houses the most powerful elements of the hurricane, including the strongest winds and heaviest rains. If you could hover above this force of nature you’d see that the strongest part of a hurricane takes place near its center, while the center itself remains relatively calm. There’s a lesson here for all of us. God doesn’t take away all our troubles—at least not as quickly as we’d like Him to—but He promises us peace in the midst of them. Few people had more trouble than Moses. His job was to feed, lead, and protect two million people. And no matter what he did, they constantly complained. So one day God said to him, “There is a place near me where you may stand…I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand” (vv. 21-22 NIV). And if you ask Him, today God will bring you to that place of peace too! |

Saturday December 5 “These words…Get them deep inside you.” Dt 11:18 TM “Deep inside you” How do you get God’s Word “deep inside you?” (1) By meditating on it each day. The Psalmist said the way to succeed in life is by meditating on God’s Word “day and night” (See Ps 1:2). But you must slow down in order to do it. Ever watch a cow chewing cud? The more it chews, the more it gets out of it. So when God impresses a thought on your mind, think about it throughout the day. Make it your first thought in the morning and your last thought at night. Do this for 365 days and you’ll be amazed how you grow spiritually. (2) By allowing it to convict you of sin and cleanse you daily. “How can a young man [or an older one] keep his way pure? By living according to your word” (Ps 119:9 NIV). His fellow monks used to ask Martin Luther why he spent so much time in the confessional. After all, he lived in a monastery so what on earth could he have to confess? Chanting off-key? No, Luther was aware of his own aptitude for self-justification. And he knew God’s Word was the only detergent strong enough to get down into the deepest recesses of his thoughts, imaginations, and motives and cleanse him. (3) By putting what you learn into practice. Your Bible knowledge may be a hundred times greater than someone else’s. But if you’re not a hundred times more loving, patient, joyful, gracious, forgiving, etc., what good is it? A head full of doctrine and a heart devoid of love will just turn people away from Christ. Today get your theology off the drawing board and start putting it into practice. |
I think they have the right to the protest, but they should only be careful not to make any nuisance. |
