You have a gift God can use

Tue, 11 Nov 2025

‘We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us.’ Romans 12:6

A pastor writes: ‘God used a seemingly random skill to strategically position David. And the slingshot skill isn’t the only example… When David played the harp, it soothed Saul’s spirit [See 1 Samuel 16:23]. That’s how David met Jonathan [King Saul’s son]. That’s how he learned the customs of the king’s court. Without his musical skills, David wouldn’t have even gotten a foot in the door!’

You never know what skill God will use for His purposes, so don’t underestimate the strangest of skills. God can use anything… for His purposes if we simply allow ourselves to be used by Him. God used Noah’s boat-building skills, Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams, and the Magi’s astrological knowledge. No skill is unredeemable or unusable in God’s grand scheme. But here’s what you need to see: the greatest psalms came out of the worst circumstances. The most comforting psalms were written in the most uncomfortable situations. David is walking through the valley of the shadow of death. David is agonising over his adulterous affair with Bathsheba. David is a fugitive hiding out in the caves of Adullam. David didn’t want to be in any of those situations, but they produced the profound lyrics we find in Psalm 23, Psalm 51, and Psalm 142. Maybe you’re wrestling with depression, or reeling from a mistake that seems unforgivable, or just sick and tired of being sick and tired. So you may not like your present circumstances, but they may be the key to your character development. And character development is the key to your future.

Know the ‘season’ you’re in

Mon, 10 Nov 2025

‘He shall be like a tree…that brings forth its fruit in its season.’ Psalm 1:3

One key to fulfilling your destiny is realising what season you’re in. If you don’t, you will feel exasperated and disappointed. For example, in some seasons learning to follow is more important than learning to lead. In some seasons handling failure offers more value than handling success.

One of the biggest errors we make is concentrating all our energy on the next season, rather than enjoying the season we’re in, maximising it, and gleaning its lessons. God wants to get you where He wants you to go even more than you want to get there. So, enjoy the journey, and understand that God will get you there when you’re ready. Your present frustration will give you a reason for future celebration if you stay the course long enough. God is developing emotional endurance inside you. The key to emotional endurance is going through high levels of disappointment that break us down so God can build us back up with a holy confidence. Can you imagine how David felt as he watched his brothers go off to war while he stayed home to tend a flock of sheep? But his day was coming. And yours is too. While you wait, don’t bypass God’s plans by taking shortcuts. God is setting you up. But the bigger the opportunity, the longer it takes. The reason we get irritated is because we think big without thinking long. Reconsider your timeline, and be encouraged when it takes longer than you estimated. That means God wants to do something considerably more than all you can ask or imagine (See Ephesians 3:20).

I admire her bravery. Kudos girl 👍

You will never be perfect enough (2)

‘By that one offering he made forever perfect in the sight of God all those whom he is making holy.’ Hebrews 10:14

Author Dorothy Littell Greco writes:

‘For some perfectionists, the fear of making a mistake results in a sort of paralysis, causing us to agonise over every decision…To help you discern if [perfectionism] has crept into your life…consider the following questions: (a) Are you comfortable asking for help or only offering it? (b) Are you able to receive appropriate criticism without getting defensive? (c) Do you have a nagging belief that you are falling short of some illusive standard? (d) Do you harshly critique yourself? (e) Are you able to experience joy? An absence of joy might be one of the best indicators [of] perfectionism. It slowly squeezes the joy out of life by reducing creativity, accentuating mistakes, and making us slaves of success.’ The truth is, no matter how hard we struggle, we can never be perfect enough to satisfy the sin debt against us. And we don’t have to be! ‘Christ gave himself…for our sins as one sacrifice for all time and then sat down in the place of highest honour at God’s right hand…For by that one offering, he made forever perfect in the sight of God all those whom he is making holy’ (vv. 12, 14 TLB). Notice: When God makes you perfect, it’s going to be forever, and once you get your head wrapped around that truth, it will change your life. Gigi Graham Tchividjian says, ‘We don’t have to be perfect to be a blessing. We are asked only to be real, trusting in His perfection to cover our imperfection, knowing that one day we will finally be all that Christ saved us for and wants us to be.’

CyynthiaKiss:
The way mod are deleting comments on this forum recently is alarming.. Can’t people express their views again against genocide going on In Nigeria ?

Seun, don’t allow APC to destroy your forum that you have built for ages

Seun is not an upright man again like before. He has compromised us for the highest bidder now. Such is life and I've come to terms with it.

TallNigerian:
No mind the guy. It's because of their type foreign countries still subject us to IELTS and TOEFL

‘By grace you have been saved…it is…not a result of works.’ Ephesians 2:8-9

A perfectionist seeks to achieve nothing less than perfection. Dorothy Littell Greco writes:

‘I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember…I had to get A’s, had to win, and had to please everyone. Every mistake or perceived failure unleashed a torrent of self-condemnation…Perfectionism often [comes from] insecurity and a faulty understanding of grace. During the first few years…parents are meant to communicate through their words and actions that we’re…lovable, even though we do nothing to earn that love…But not all of us were the beneficiaries of such parenting. Many of our needs were met with frustration or even anger, which we interpreted as, “There’s something wrong with me.” When that’s the case, over time, shame creeps in…[and] distorts our understanding of our self-worth. The voice of perfectionism increased when I started following Jesus. I feared being judged and…excluded, [which] motivated me to prove my worth to my fellow Christians. Though I believed, theoretically, that I was saved by grace, I lived as if I had purchased salvation on credit and was accruing an enormous debt. I [lived] as if Jesus would tear up our “salvation contract” the moment I made a mistake. As I began to understand that pride and a fear of mankind were driving my perfectionism, I confessed this as sin … [and] the chokehold started to loosen. Like the Samaritan woman at the well, I needed Jesus to break in and tenderly reorient me to his living water.’ Remember, you don’t have to be perfect to be a blessing to others—you just have to be real!

This should be reported to Tinubu directly on his handle. Let's hear what he has to say to it.

Useless Amosun then was the reason why Dangote moved his refinery to Lagos State.

Show appreciation for your pastor

Fri, 7 Nov 2025

‘Appreciate those who work hard among you, who lead you in the Lord and teach you.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:12

Paul writes to the church at Thessalonica: ‘Now, brothers and sisters, we ask you to appreciate those who work hard among you, who lead you in the Lord and teach you. Respect them with a very special love because of the work they do’ (1 Thessalonians 5:12–13 NCV).

Now consider these twenty-first century statistics: (1) Fifty percent of pastors feel so disheartened they would leave the ministry if they could, but they don’t know any other way to make a living. (2) Half of all new ministers won’t last more than five years in ministry. (3) Only one in ten ministers will retire while still serving in some capacity. (4) In America, over 1,700 pastors left the ministry every month during 2011. There are many reasons why pastors walk away. One major reason is inadequate financial support and the toll it takes on their family. Paul addressed this issue directly: ‘Let the elders [pastors] who rule well be counted worthy of double honour [financial remuneration], especially those who labour in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages”’ (1 Timothy 5:17–18 NKJV). Another reason pastors quit is because they are often the target of harsh and constant criticism. Paul gives this instruction: ‘Do not receive an accusation against an elder [pastor] except from two or three witnesses’ (v. 19 NKJV). So what can you do? Pray for your pastor. Encourage them. Appreciate them. Let them know that their work matters—not just to you, but to God. And when you do, Scripture assures us: God will bless you for it.

Seeing Sheik Gunmi in one of those picture. That motherfucker is a terrorist. I don't know why FG hasn't pick him up by now? Lt. Gen Buratai is another silly officer that shouldn't be allow to walk around in this country. He, Buhari and El-Rufai are all terrorists. Good Buhari is gone. But others days are numbered.

Aiye maa ni'ika ooo 😢😢

Imagine?

Wouldn't it have been better for him to just quit the job than turning to an agent of death?

As in...... Nigeria needs to be re-colonized.

O pari. It is finish. No going back again. Where will I run go now oooo? 🤔. Will my State capital, Abeokuta be secure enough now? 😔

This is highly welcome. We all have a monopoly of violence but peace is what we choose. And by choosing peace shouldn't means we are silly.

I never like him in the first place. All his teachings and prophecies is all about feeding himself. ALATENUJE AGBALAGBA!

In all your getting. Get wisdom & understanding. No matter how educated those fellows are......all of them to me are senseless.

Pass it on!

‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.’ Proverbs 4:7

Mentor Graham was so absorbed in evaluating the assignments he had given his students that he failed to notice the youthful giant who slouched into his Illinois schoolroom one day after school. After his eyes adjusted to the brightness of the late afternoon sunshine, which cast the husky young man in silhouette, he recognised the youth as a newcomer to the community.

The lad already had a reputation for ‘whipping the living daylights’ out of all the local toughs. Graham would have been justified in thinking, ‘What does he want here? Am I in danger?’ But instead, he looked up and down the six foot, four inches of muscle and ignorance standing before him—and offered to help the lad with his reading and studies. When the young man left the schoolroom an hour later, he had several books under his arm—on loan from Mentor Graham, with a promise of more to come. There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Mentor Graham, right? He was a quiet man, simply willing to do his best for any student who came his way. But his pupil became famous. His name? Abraham Lincoln. Graham recognised in Lincoln a hunger for knowledge and a desire to learn—and took the time to invest in him. And as a result, Lincoln helped change history. The greatest investment you can make is in people. Solomon wrote, ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.’ And when you get it, don’t keep it to yourself—pass it on.

😆😆😆....and you think he will comot? When it is his Baba that's the President?

Dey play ▶️

Congratulations to Chrisland.

RIP to the legend. How old was he?

mascot87:
Let me tell you what you people don't know.
In as much as I want all the Islamic terrorists and Fulani terrorists wiped out including there sponsors by the United State in the North, there would be a big humanitarian crisis in the South too and that's the fact.
There is no law stopping the movement of people from the North to the South in Nigeria including the disguised terrorists. They will move down south to find shelter. We are talking about 250 million Nigerians here.
Is the South ready for this infiltration and the consequences it will bring? Is the South ready to take care of the Northern immigrants because you cannot stop them from free movement.

***Most comments under my post are based on sentiments and emotions and not solid ground on fact. What you people don't understand is that the northerners may see the invasion as been triggered by the south (most especially the SE) to fight the North and may instruct there people to move down south in millions for shelter. In doing so, we may have more crisis that we may not be able to handle. Is the South ready for this? Such invasion goes beyond just going after the terrorists that have already been infiltrated into the society. It's not that easy as you people think. Once it starts, no one could ascertain its end. *It could be sabotaged from within and US wouldn't be able to help.

so, what do you reckon?

SOS prayers

Wed, 5 Nov 2025

‘In my distress I cried to the Lord, and He heard me.’ Psalm 120:1

The three-digit emergency system has amazing capabilities. In most places in the world, you need only dial those numbers to be instantly connected to a dispatcher. On a computer screen, the dispatcher instantly sees the caller’s telephone number, address, and the name under which the number is listed. Also listening in on the call are police, fire, and paramedics.

A caller need not say anything once the call is made. Even rasping coughs and hysterical cries have brought a quick response. The dispatcher knows where the call is coming from, and help is sent immediately. Sometimes our situation is so urgent and desperate that we can’t put it into words, so we send up the SOS prayer, ‘Lord, I need your help!’ And help is on the way. ‘It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear’ (Isaiah 65:24 NKJV). Sometimes you feel the effects of something, but you don’t understand the cause and you can’t explain it. This is when the indwelling power of God’s Spirit comes to your aid: ‘The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them’ (Romans 8:26-28 NLT).

RIP Dick. Heaven is home for those who believe and truly follow Christ.

Surrender your life to Christ today, believe and be born again. And your name will be writing down in the book of life.

This world is temporary.

Who is asking for your advice Gunmi? Better shut that your dirty mouth abeg
