When I started online, I didn't have enough money to build an email list or run ads to do affiliate marketing..

So I started with simple referral programs that paid me small N1,000 commissions..

In a month, I made over N50k+ consistently from only 1 referral program just driving free traffic from YouTube and Facebook....

I made more than N250k from only that particular program...

So always start small...especially if you don't have money to spend on ads, etc... and then you can go advanced later..

Anyway... there is another program like that, this one pays N1,500 commissions.

It's pretty easy to do and different from other type of referrals because the person you are referring literally doesn't have to pay anything.

I've earned more than N20k from it already.

I paid out 1k after I made my first 3k5 just to show you guys that it's legit..

Once you make A withdrawal it does not take up to 2hours before it enters your bank account and you can withdraw l every 24hrs no limit.

Want to jump in too and maybe start from there?
I am very interested sir.

TOPIC: DO NOT LIMIT GOD
TEXT: 2 KING 7:2)?


BIBLE TEXT:
Then a Lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be "�? (2 King 7:2)

We limit God sometimes, even below the level of man, because we do not know who He is. His attribute of Omnipotence (Jehovah El-Shaddai-The God Almighty), reveals to us the fact that He can do all things and so, we can depend on Him to solve all our problems. He is Omniscient (He sees all things), so He sees you where you are in your situation.

Furthermore, He is Omnipresent (Jehovah Shamah-The God who is present constantly), He is everywhere. Why then do we not trust Him with our problems but limit Him? Billy Graham said, "It is absence of the Knowledge of God that lies at the root of every problem that besets us. It is man's confusion about God's plan that has the world in chaos. It is man's unwillingness to learn and to obey God's laws that has laid such heavy burden on our souls."�

God loves you and He can turn your situation around. Do not be like the special assistant to the King of Israel in our text who doubted God's word and missed out on His miracle.

Challenge: Renounce every spirit of unbelief

Prayer: Lord, help me to have confidence in your providence.

Quote: He can turn your situation around

TOPIC: SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS
TEXT: 2SAMUEL 11:14

BIBLE TEXT:
"And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah"(2Samuel 11:14).

An adage says that, "The pen is mightier than the sword."� Simply put, the printed page (both text and pictures), is powerful, and so are the social media postings. As a Christian youth, you might not post any harmful write-up, but that does not shield you from exposure to the pornographic, sensual, rude or insulting postings. However, "We can afford to read only the best and what will be most helpful to us in the fulfilment of our mission,"� wrote J. Oswald Sanders.

In our text, it was David who wrote and signed Uriah's death warrant, but it was Uriah himself that "˜posted' it to Joab to plan the murder. What then is the youth advised to do with social media postings? The Bible says: "My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not"� (Proverbs 1:10). Some social media postings are harmful, especially pornographic ones. The Christian youth should refuse to stare at them, read them or share them, but instead delete them and spend time to pray and read the Bible.

Challenge: Watch what you watch and read.

Prayer: Lord, keep a watch over my eyes.

Quote: Some social media postings are harmful

Health / Natural ‘cures’ For Prostate Cancer, Enlargement Identified by Chikade(m): 4:46pm On Dec 22, 2016
Scientists have identified and validated natural methods of effectively treating and managing prostate disorders including enlargement and cancer.

In the body of the average male the prostate is a ticking time bomb. The organ increases in size as men age. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is the scientific term. An enlarged prostate is in itself harmless, although doctors believe that an enlarged prostate increases the risk of prostate cancer. But because an enlarged prostate makes urination more difficult it is a problem for men.

But researchers have come up with several natural solutions. Running reduces prostate cancer risk, prevents enlarged prostate According to an article posted on Web MD, men who exercise for at least two hours a week reduced their risk of death from prostate cancer. The findings come from a joint study conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of California-San Francisco, United States. The researchers studied the records of nearly 3,000 men who had been diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer for a period of over 18 years.

As part of the study, the men recorded the time they spent exercising during the week. Included in the annotated exercise were disciplines such as running, swimming, bicycling, and even outdoor work.

Most important to runners is that men who walked at a “normal to brisk pace” for 90 minutes during the week had a 46 per cent lower risk of dying from any cause.

“Our results suggest that men can reduce their risk of prostate cancer progression after a diagnosis of prostate cancer by adding physical activity to their daily routine,” wrote Stacey Kenfield, the study’s author.

Another study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (MSSE) found that men who ran faster than 4.5 meters per second had a 32 percent less risk of an enlarged prostate than the men who ran less than three meters per second.

The men in the group who trained the longest had a 33 percent less risk of an enlarged prostate than the men who trained the least number of hours.

The researchers concluded: “Our results add to the accumulating evidence that important health benefits accrue at greater exercise doses and greater exercise intensities than currently recommended.”

Nigerian foodstuffs stop prostate cancer Nigerian researchers have also identified foodstuffs with prostate cancer chemo-preventive polyphenols. The study was published in Infectious Agent Cancer by Sunday Eneojo.

The study noted: “Dietary polyphenols are antioxidants that can scavenge biological free radicals, and chemoprevent diseases with biological oxidation as their main etiological factor. In this paper, we review our laboratory data vis-ὰ-vis available literature on prostate cancer chemo-preventive substances in Nigerian foodstuffs.

Dacryodes edulis fruit (local pear), Moringa oleifera and Syzygium aromaticum (cloves) contained prostate active polyphenols like ellagic acid, gallate, methylgallate, catechol, kaempferol quercetin and their derivatives.

In addition, tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) which contains the powerful antioxidant and anti-prostate cancer agent, lycopene; cabbage (Brassica oleracea) containing indole-3-carbinol; citrus fruits containing pectin; Soursop (Annona muricata) containing annonaceous acetogenins; soya beans (Glycine max) containing isoflavones; chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) containing capsaicin, and green tea (Camellia sinensis) containing (-) epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), (-) epicatechin, (-) epicatechin-3-gallate and (-) epigallocatechin -3-gallate which are widely reported to posses prostate cancer chemopreventive compounds are also grown in Nigeria and other African countries.

Scent leaf inhibits prostate cancer growth Researchers have also shown the efficacy scent leaf (Ocimum gratissimum) in stopping prostate cancer. The study, titled “Fractionated Ocimum gratissimum Leaf Extract Inhibit Prostate Cancer (PC3·AR) Cells Growth by Reducing Androgen Receptor and Survivin Levels,” was published in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved.

In this study, the anti-proliferative activity of the organic solvent-soluble and aqueous extracts of Ocimum gratissimum leaf against the prostate cancer cells PC3·AR were evaluated by their inhibitory effects on the Androgen Receptor (AR) and Survivin protein. Two organic solvent-soluble extracts P2 and P3–2, and a water- soluble extract, PS/PT1, were found to reduce AR and Survivin levels in a time-dependent manner.

In addition, extract PS/PT1, also exhibited the inhibitory activity in a dose-dependent manner. This is the first time that the inhibitory effects of O. gratissimum extracts have been evaluated on the Androgen Receptor (AR) and Survivin protein. The results encouraged the further studies of O. gratissimum as a potential treatment of prostate cancer. Africa pepper stops prostate cancer

Researchers have confirmed the anti-proliferative effects of ethanolic extract of African pepper (Xylopia aethiopica) fruits on breast and prostate cancer cells. This can be seen from the inhibition of cell growth by this extract thus highlighting its potential as a therapy against breast and prostate cancer.

The study published in July 15, 2016 edition of the journal Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics and Cancer Research is titled “Preliminary anti-proliferative effect of ethanolic extracts of Xylopia aethiopica on prostate and breast cancer cell lines.”

Commonly called African pepper or Guinea pepper, Xylopia aethiopica, belongs to the family Annonaceae. In Nigerian Arabic, it is called kyimba in, kumba in Arabic-Shuwa, kenya in Bokyi, akada in Degema, unie in Edo, ata in Efik, kimbaahre in Fula-Fulfulde, kimbaa in Hausa, ata in Ibibio, uda in Ibo, tsunfyanya in Nupe, kimbill in Tera, eeru in Yoruba.

Extracts of breadfruit provide novel treatment for prostate cancer A composition of breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis), containing extracts of fruits, leaves, or stems, or fractions thereof as active ingredients has received patent for preventing or treating cancer.

Botanically called Artocarpus altilis, breadfruit is a species of flowering tree in the mulberry family Moraceae.

The African breadfruit is botanically called Treculia africana. It is a tropical tree crop also belonging to the taxonomic family Moraceae. It is also called wild jackfruit or African-boxwood. In Nigeria, it is called ukwa in Ibo. It is afon in Yoruba; ize in Benin, Jekri in Sobo; izea in Ijaw; and ediang in Efik.

The abstract of the Patent EP 2889038 A1 noted: “The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating cancer which comprises the extracts of Artocarpus altilis fruits, leaves, or stems, or the fractions thereof as active ingredients. The extracts of Artocarpus altilis fruits, leaves, or stems, or the fractions thereof, according to the present invention, suppress the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3) which plays an important role in the growth of a cancer cell line and in the immune function of the human body, and can thus be effectively used in the prevention and treatment of cancers such as colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, brain tumor, lung cancer, uterine cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, or pancreatic cancer.”

The patent filled on July 26, 2013, was published on July 1, 2015. The inventors are Byoung-Mog Kwon, Dong Cho Han, Joongku Lee, Yoon-jeong JEON, and Sang Ho Choi while the applicant is the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology.

The patent is the brain child of a novel research by a team of researchers from National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Abuja; Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB), Daejeon, South Korea; Center for Biocomputing and Drug Development, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko; and the Institute for Advanced Medical Research and Training, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Oyo State.

Pygeum africanum and Urtica dioica improve urinary function in enlarged prostate Scientists have also identified more natural recipes for ameliorating mild to moderate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men with enlarged prostate.

Top on the list are plant extracts of Pygeum africanum and Urtica dioica. Pygeum africanum (African plum tree or bitter almond) is called emi or olowomefa in Yoruba, ka’danya in Hausa and osisi in Ibo.

Commonly called nettle, big string nettle, common nettle, stinging nettle, Urtica dioica is a leafy plant found in most parts of Nigeria, but ubiquitous in the Southern parts. The Igbos call it agbara or akuwa; and it is named osokporode in Urhobo while to the Yorubas, it is ewe esinsin or esisi.

Pygeum africanum has been shown to be beneficial in treating BPH. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. It is especially helpful in increasing urinary function, often limited due to enlarged prostate. Historically, the bark was powdered and used to make a tea, which was taken by mouth for urinary problems.
Health / What Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)? by Chikade(m): 5:38pm On Dec 21, 2016
Knowing what to do in the case of an emergency can be the difference between life and death. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a condition where the heart stops beating unexpectedly. SCA can cause chaos in the heart, stopping blood from pumping around the body. SCA can occur at any time and can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, health condition and ethnicities Each year in the UK, there are approximately 60,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests each year. In 2013 alone, the emergency medical services attempted to resuscitate 28,00 people of which only 8.6% survived. Educating more people about how to respond when someone is suffering from SCA can really help increase the likelihood of survival. Without immediate treatment, 90-95 percent of SCA victims will die. This infographic from defibshop will teach you everything you need to know about SCA, including what exactly SCA is, and what steps are needed to help someone suffering from SCA. The correct CPR and resuscitation techniques are also included.

Sports / Mikel Set For China Move by Chikade(m): 11:27am On Dec 16, 2016
CHELSEA castaway John Obi Mikel could be about to take the plunge into the Far East and follow his team-mate Oscar out the door in January.

The Nigerian has failed to make a single appearance this season for the Blues, as new manager Antonio Conte consistently overlooks him in his 3-4-3 formation.

With Oscar set to make a sensational £52 million move to Shanghai SIPG, it’s reported that two Chinese clubs are looking at signing the 29-year-old.

Chelsea are yet to offer their veteran a new deal, with his current deal set to expire after this season.

The central midfielder has been at Stamford Bridge since 2006, and has made 374 appearances for the West London side, winning two Premier League titles, four FA Cup’s, two League Cup’s, the Europa League and the Champions League.

Last season Mikel established himself as an important player, and cemented his position in the starting XI when Guus Hiddink took charge.

But Conte has taken a blind side to his abilities, with Marseille rumoured to be interested, and there are even reports of a shock transfer to Manchester United.

The Red Devils almost snapped him up before he made the move to Chelsea, and former boss Jose Mourinho could be about to rescue him from his nightmare.

Antonio Conte has revealed he has no plans to let the 2016 Olympic bronze medallist leave in January, but has conceded that a new deal is unlikely.

Chelsea sit top of the Premier League, winning their last ten matches as they chase down Arsenal’s record of 13 straight league wins.

PARDON FOR THE PENITENT
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9).
Hear God’s word, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13). From the above scripture, can you imagine the foolishness of trying to hide your sins? Gordon Lindsay wrote, “God in His mercy will forgive all sins except one. So He forgives even adultery when those who have committed it turn from it in real repentance.” It is simply unwise and unintelligent for any right-thinking youth to try to hide his/her sins for whatever reasons. It is the same devil that instigated you to sin in the first place, that will again harden your heart against repentance.
Do you know that confession is a privilege from God? It is given to mankind to enable us have freedom. Are you covering up any sin in your life right now? If yes, confess it right now to God. You must also restitute where necessary and enjoy your liberty and right standing with the Lord. You are free indeed when Christ sets you free.
Challenge: Confess and forsake your sins for pardon.
Prayer: O God my Father, forgive all my sins in Jesus name
Further Reading: Psalm 66:18.

Family / A Good Spouse by Chikade(m): 6:43pm On Dec 14, 2016
“A Good Spouse…”

Is Humble:
A quick definition: humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is think less about yourself. It is someone who, like Jesus, believes he has come “not to be served, but to serve.” Jesus knew His talents, and He knew His deity, but He used His power to serve. Unlike Jesus (since we are not perfect, and He was), a humble person is someone who has experienced and is experiencing conviction of sin: they are aware that they fall short, every day, and that they have much to work on, and biblical grace is the only place they put their hope.

Is Able to Forgive:
If you believe the Bible, you are going to stumble many times throughout your marriage (James 3:2). You will break your spouse’s heart. You will disappoint her. You will embarrass him. Your sin will inconvenience her.
Can I be honest with you? If your boyfriend or girlfriend is having a difficult time forgiving you for things you’ve done while dating, marriage is going to be even harder. When you live together and raise a family together, sins become more apparent, more common, and more consequential. If that person can’t forgive you now, he or she will never be able to forgive you then.

Communicates:
Intimacy is build through sharing, listening, understanding, and talking through issues. If someone doesn’t like to talk, refuses to talk, or resents your desire to talk, intimacy building is going to hit a stone wall. In most relationships, the woman will desire to talk more than the man, so women shouldn’t freak out if their boyfriends don’t seem as excited about this aspect of relational building as they are. But, women, if he isn’t growing in his desire to share his heart with you, if he is doing it only to please you, if it feels like a chore to get him to get to know you, if he can’t or won’t ask you a question about yourself—he lacks the basic relational skills to build an intimate marriage.

* What other character qualities does a good marriage partner need? (prays, handles conflict appropriately, keeps friends, etc.) Do any of these raise red flags for your current boyfriend/girlfriend?

Religion / Before God Speaks, Decide To Say "Yes" by Chikade(m): 6:36pm On Dec 14, 2016
Read today's verse.

God speaks to people who decide they’re going to do what he tells them to do, even before he tells them. It’s saying, “God, if you want me to move, I’ll move. If you want me to get married, I’ll get married. If you want me to leave this job, I’ll leave this job. Before you even tell me, my answer is ‘yes.’ Whatever you want me to do, I will do it.”

Luke 8:15 says, “The seeds that fell in good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart, and they persist until they bear fruit” (TEV).

I used to study this parable of Jesus and think it was talking about four kinds of people: those who are resistant, those who are shallow, those who are busy, and those who are good.

But this parable actually represents four attitudes. You can have all four attitudes in the same day! One moment you go, “God, I don’t want to hear you, because I know what you’re going to say.” And the next moment you say, “Lord, tell me quick.” Then you hear it and think it’s good, but you don’t do anything about it. Maybe the fruit starts to bear in your life, but then you get busy with your job or school or your kids, and the weeds grow up. Then other times you say, “God, whatever you want. I’m totally open to you.”

God wants you to have an attitude of obedience so that you can bear fruit — the biblical term for being successful. God wants you to be fruitful in your business, your family, your friendships, your relationship with God and with others, and your health.

So how do you bear fruit when God tells you something? You pass it on. When God tells you something, the quickest way to let it bear fruit in your life is to tell somebody else what you just learned.

Another translation of Luke 8:15 says, “They listen to God’s words and cling to them and steadily spread them to others who also soon believe” (LB). God wants you to pass on to others what you learn.
