Religion / 7 Lessons To Learn From Elisha And The Widow’s Oil by diamondchild: 3:32pm On Dec 17, 2017
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. (Read 2 Kings 4:1-7)
Here are seven lessons to learn from these.

1. Total Trust in God. You can’t trust God and get disappointed. You trust in God guarantees victory and success. The woman went straight to the man of God because she believes in God; she had no any other alternative but to call on God on the day of trouble. Her husband was among the servant of Elisha who must have been faithful during his service with God. That gave the woman courage to go and meet Elisha.

2. Do not despise the little you have. Many people don’t know they have what can make them great tomorrow right with them. God has already deposited something in you.The woman thought she had nothing, until she remembered that she had a little oil which later turns out to be great overflow of oil. She even called it “little oil”. Beloveth, that little oil in her house saved her and family from shame, embarrassment, disgrace, poverty, untimely death, loneliness. Because, if the creditor had come to take her two sons away not even one, she would have been so poor and lonely which could lead to her committing suicide.
The little in your hand can be something great and overflowing tomorrow. The little you have might just be a simple idea; it might be one simple thing you know how to do better than others. It could anything, just take a step of faith with it.
There is saying that Rome was not built in a day. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. Do something with the little you have and you would be amazed with the result.

3. Be friendly. As christian, we must let the light of Jesus shine in our life so that even our neighbors would be able to see the Jesus in us. The man of God told her to borrow empty vessel from everywhere she could, not excluding her neighbors too, because he know she could quickly get it fast and easy from her neighbors than anywhere else, forgetting that she might not actually get it if she’s unfriendly with her neighbors or have a bad character.
Elisha simple instruction to her simply mean“go and borrow empty vessel from anywhere you could get it and most especially go to your neighbors because even if you didn’t get it anywhere, it’s certain you’ll get it from your neighbors”. The woman must be a friendly woman, if not; nobody will be willing to give her any vessel. And for a woman to release her property to someone, especially if that person is unfriendly, you know what she could pass through.
She was able to get plenty of empty vessels because she maintained a good relationship with her neighbors.

4. Be a good listener. Every good listeners always emerge victorious because they pay attention to everything that is being said.The woman went to Elisha with a broken heart because the bible recorded that she cried unto Elisha which illustrates that she was grieved in heart, despite her condition then, she still maintained her peace and listen to every tiny detail of the instructions. Through her good listening, she was able to carry out the job successfully. As recorded, Elisha gave her six solid instructions which she was able to carry out successfully.
1. Go borrow vessels. (Not cups, not bailer)
2. Empty vessels. (Not filled with anything).
3. Do not gather just a few.
4. Shut the door behind you and your sons.
5. Pour the oil into all those vessels
6. And set aside the full ones.
It takes a good listener to be able to carry out those steps successfully.

5. Obedience is better than sacrifice . There is no second best option to disobedience, not even sacrifice. If the woman had not obeyed all what she was ordered to do, her two sons would have been caught into slavery till the debt has been fully paid. If the woman had rubbished what the man of God had said and later went her way to look for solution herself she would have fully paid the price of disobedience with her son by sacrificing her son for a debt. When one don’t obey, the outcome is always bad. No amount of sacrifice is the best alternative to a simple obedience.

6. Faith is not a risk but unbelief is. When you put faith to work, you are at risk because faith is not a risk, unbelief is. It’s very easy for the woman to walk out from Elisha because it make no sense at all considering what the woman said and what Elisha said she should do. She must have been thinking maybe Elisha will give her some money to pay her debt or go with her to the creditor to plead on her behalf. But none of this happened, he gave her a simple instruction that looks foolish in the eyes, but she believed because she had faith.
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. 1 Corinthians 1:27.

7. God rewards faithfulness. Whatever you sow, you shall reap.Any seed of faithfulness you sow, God sees it, it doesn’t matter if anybody did not see it. God sees it and he will reward you.
Elisha was able to help the woman because her husband was a faithful man. The faithfulness of her husband saved his entire family from poverty. If her husband had been an evil worker of God, Elisha may have found it hard to attend to her case or might not even attend to her at all. God rewarded the faithfulness of the man service to him by blessing is family with overflowing blessing.Brethren, I want to let you know that God is not a robber, he will reward every bit of your faithfulness towards men and for his service, and he will not forget your labor of love. God is not a man that he should lie or repent.
Whatever a man sow that he shall also reap, beloveth, make up your today to sow a good seed any where you go so that you can also reap your good fruits. If you haven’t surrender to Jesus Christ to help you be a new man, make up your mind today to surrender to him and you will shout hallelujah!These are seven lessons to learn from Elisha and the widow’s oil; I hope you were able to grab one or two things to apply in your daily work. God bless you.

Religion / Giving Is Everybody’s Ministry by diamondchild: 7:45am On Mar 02, 2017
[i]Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. [/i]Luke 6:38.

No giver can ever remain a beggar, no giver can ever remain a loser, all givers will never lack and all givers will always remain a winner.

Giving is not a ministry of a particular person, neither is it an ordained ministry of some individual, giving is everybody’s business, giving is everybody’s ministry. Everybody are supposed to be a partaker of giving and sowing, because when we give cheerfully, we are fulfilling one of the ministry God put in our hands and he’ll reward us according to what we gave and sow.

Giving is everybody‘s business, is not meant for a certain foundation or philanthropist only, is meant for everybody. We are supposed to be givers most especially in the things that will expand the kingdom of God. Even our God almighty gave us so much despite us being disobedient to him; he gave, gave and gave till he gave his only begotten son JESUS to us which is the best gift to every mankind till today.

Giving is a ministry that everyone of must fulfill, and the only way for us to fulfill it is to ask to help us so that he can open our spiritual eyes to see the power that’s in giving. My pastor used to say that, whatever you give at a particular may leave your hand at that period but it can never leave your life. No matter what you sow you’ll surely reap. Nobody has ever been rewarded for what he or she receives, you can only be rewarded for what you give out not for what you receive.

Giving does not only requires material things only or resources, giving can be in form of anything, it can be your time, talents, treasure, good advice, words of encouragement, supports both in physical and spiritual, etc. but to whom much is given much is required.

If you know God has blessed you so much, you are to give out too. Don’t let your neighbor die of lack. You are to give until giving becomes part of your living.

The widow of zarephat gave her last morsel of meal, but at the end, she had more than enough for the rest of her life. She and her son spent the rest of their life in abundance all because they obeyed and believed in the power of giving. (See 1 Kings 17:1-15).

Beloved, giving is everybody’s business, giving is everybody’s ministry and you must fulfill your ministry in Jesus name. If you’ve been fulfilling your giving ministry, I encourage you to do more. If you have not started fulfilling yours, start now and the Lord will be with you.

Remember, giving is everybody’s business, giving is everybody’s ministry and you must fulfill your giving ministry in Jesus name. God bless you mightily as you give mightily.

Religion / These 12 Things Are Free And Will Prosper Your Body Soul And Spirit by diamondchild: 1:48pm On Feb 24, 2017
3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

It’s so simple and easy but all is by the special grace of God, though some might require self-discipline and sacrifices but they all worth it. You just decide and take the step, you I’ll be amazed of the divine restoration and transformation that‘ll take place in your body soul and spirit. And the good news about it is that they are all free. Now let’s move on…

1. Exercise:
Exercise is good for our body and it keeps our system active. It is recommended that we should exercise daily for at least 30mins, but too many activities have kept us away from exercising. You don’t need to pay for an expensive exercising program; you can start on your own by doing some push up, road walk, light jogging etc. Fitting regular exercise into your daily schedule may seem difficult at first. But even ten minutes at a time is fine. The key is to find the right exercise for you. It should be fun and should match your abilities.Just come out of the jungle and stretch your muscle. Read 1 Timothy 4:8

2. Water:
water is life and it’s free gift of nature, no living creature can ever survive without water. Man, animals, plants. They all need water to stay alive. A glass of water in the morning before you brush your teeth keeps your system very active during the day and gives energy. 8 – 10 glass of water per day is not a bad deal. Water restores, water refreshes, water renews water rejuvenates. Now go grab a glass of clean water and sip it. Read Mark 9:41,

3. Prayer:

This is one of the surest ways to communicate with our God; it’s the only network that doesn’t need a credit card before you can make a call. This service never shut down and it’s free, you can call anytime, anyplace and anywhere. Because our God never sleeps nor slumbers, he’s always ready and ever ready to pick your call. Read Philippians 4:6-7
4. Praise:
Praise bring down the presence of God from Heaven, when you praise, u get a direct and free ticket to the throne of grace because it breaks the unbreakable, shake the unshakeable, speaks the unspeakable, Praise brings fire from heaven. Praise connects you to the presence of God. Praise God for who he is, praise him for his almightiness, praise him for his awesomeness. He demands and he deserves our praise. Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord. Read Acts 16:25-26
5. Worship:
If you are looking for one of the surest ways to receive a blank cheque from heaven, try praise and worship. Praise and worship always go together because they are like one and they both need each other. They work together to bring forth the glory of God and also connects you to his presence. Worship God in spirit and in truth and see the glory of the lord. Read John 4:24
6. Fasting:
Fasting strengthen your inner man and supply your spirit the necessary balance diet to complete a major task for you in the spiritual realm. Like my pastor used to say that the spiritual controls the physical. When you fasting, your organs are resting, because they won’t have to do some whining and grinding for at least for some hours. It’s also recommended that you can fast at least once a week for a better health improvement. When you’re fasting, you are not fasting to any man, you‘re fasting to God. So don’t make it plain to any man that you‘re fasting, the God who see you in secret will reward you openly. Read Matthew 6:16-18, Matthew 17:14-21
7. The Word:
This is the only free spiritual bread that is packaged in 3 in 1, because it does not only prosper your body only but also prosper your soul and spirits. And whatever prosper your body soul and spirits, will prosper you in every areas of your life, physically, spiritually, mentally, financially, martially, academically intellectually etc.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Read Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12
8. Dancing:
Many of us are guilty when it comes to dancing in the church. We hardly dance in the church but we can throw all kinds of different steps when listening to worldly music. Some of us can sing and dance so much in the bathroom, only to get to church and start moving slowly left to right even when the praise is high. May God have mercy on us o? Read 2 Samuel 6:20-23, Psalms 30:11
9. Laughter:
Laughter is another one free gift of the nature. It doesn’t take any extra power to put that beautiful smile on your face. All you have to do is choose to smile and that’s all. You can decide to open your teeth and mouth while laughing or better still close your mouth and laugh, they are all the same. Don’t go around and be frowning as if you‘re carrying a 50kg dangote cement on your head. Choose to smile and look more beautiful and younger. It’s easier to smile than to frown. Read Psalms 2:4
10. Resting:
When God created the heavens the earth, he created it in just six days and rested on the seventh day. If GOD can create this wonderful and beautiful earth as big as it is and still take a rest, what should now prevent an ordinary man to take a break from his work? Except that you are trying to create your own heaven and earth in another non-existing planet. This is not an excuse or introduction to laziness o? Read Genesis 2:1-3, Exodus 20:8-11, Psalm 127:1-2
11. Holy Spirit:
From his name, you know what it means, without holiness no man will ever see GOD. Holy Spirit is free but requires a lot of self-discipline and self-denial, total commitment and obedience to God, he’s ever ready to come and partner with anybody that invites him. But the question is you ready for him? Read Acts 1:7-8, Acts 2:1-4, 1 Peter 1:15-16
12. Salvation:
You should know this is where I will drop my pen on this article, salvation simply means eternal life. Salvation is free, you have to be saved to benefits fully from all these free gifts mentioned above to mankind, what does it means to be saved, it means to be born again. To surrender your life totally to Christ and for you to do that you have to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior. Have a Nice Day.

Religion / 17 Ways To Raise A Godly Children by diamondchild: 1:08am On Feb 18, 2017
Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he’s old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Children are the heritage of the Lord. They are so precious in the eyes of God, and they are a beautiful gift to every family and to the world. God blessed us with children for us to train them to meet his standard. He expects us to help and teach them to become vessels unto honor and to be the best they can be in life. Failure to do so will be unpleasing in his eyes.

Either parents or guardians are just a caretaker. We can only try our best for them and God will do rest because he’s the original owner of them. We are just a stewardship for them, so we must raise them to level that God expected the to be.

Here are 17 ways out many to raise a Godly children, now let’s ride.

1. Soak them with the word of God.
Teaching them the word of God is the very first thing we should let them know. By doing this, their heart will be set on the things of God. The psalmist says the word is a lamp unto my feet and a lamp unto my path. When children are soaked with the word of God from their early stage, they will flourish and shine because the word will shine light in to their path

2. Don’t be too strict on them.
Many people thinks by being too strict on children is the only way they can always learn and obey I’m sorry; it doesn’t really work that way. Being strict on children will only hardened their heart the more and makes them feel you don’t love them. I’m not saying they should not be corrected when they go wrong, of course they should but let everything be done In proper moderation.

3. Don’t over pamper them.
Don’t over pamper them and don’t be too strict on them. Let everything be done in orderliness and in moderation. You are a nurse doesn’t mean you should over nurse them, you’re a soldier doesn’t mean that you should be beat them with koboko always. Children are apple of God’s eye for God sake. They are meant to be catering for. If they go wrong, correct them in a well appropriate manner and in a Godly way.

4. Pray for them.
This is one of the most important areas we must not neglect in raising our children. Children needs prayers likewise parents too. The little prayer we pray for them today can go a very long way in their life. You don’t have to wait till things go wrong before you pray for them. Pray for them always either they are performing well or not. You can hold a vigil for them in your room at least once a week and also pray for them every day in your quiet time or morning devotion.

5. Teach them how to pray.
Don’t pray for them only, teach them also how to pray by so doing your mind will be at peace and the both of you will be pleasing in God’s eye. You can start with the Lord’s Prayer. (see Matthew 6:9-13)

6. Be a good example.
Like a popular Yoruba adage that says ile lan ti ko eso ro de. Which simply means charity begins at home. You have to lead by example because whatever you do in their presence is being stored up in their brain. After a while they will start to replicate and imitate your character, it might not be now but it will surely shows up one day. If you are the type that curse, fights, gossips, drinks, or smoke always. They will definitely take after you. Whatever you sow, you shall reap. Be a good role model to your children and you will glad you did.

7. Teach them simple etiquette.
It’s a shameful thing that most parents have neglected their role as guardians by handling their children to their school teacher to teach them what they are supposed to learn from them. It’s your duty to teach them some of these things. Teachers are now taking the important roles of some parents these days which is not really a good idea.Teachers have their parts to play, we also as parents have our own part to play. And don’t forget that teachers also have their own children to cater for too. So it’s your duty to first teach your children simple etiquette. Don’t leave everything in the hands of their teachers. do your part and let the teachers do the rest.

8. Do your duty a parents / guardians.
Like earlier, don’t neglect your role a parents by allowing other people to take after your responsibility. Neglecting little things can cost you a lot. The little might not count for anything at present but as time goes by; they will pile up and turn out to something else which might surpass what you can handle.

“If parents are too busy to train a child they would not be too busy to attend to their trouble”.

9. Keep an eye on what they watch and listen to.
You must be interested in everything they do. Many of the programs that are shown on television these days are done and dusted. They are nothing but rubbish programs. Some of these programs can cause a lot of damages to the mentality of children because they are arranged in the pit of hell to minister useless and foolish message in to their soul. Know clearly that whatever consumes your mind controls your life. Whatever ever they watch or listen to will have an effect in their life in future. Same thing applies to worldly music. Worldly music are composed and lyrically given by demons to entice children and to occupy their hearts with lustful desires. Be interested in what they watch and the kind of music they listen to. In as much they are still in your custody, you must pay proper attention to what they watch and the kind of music they listen to.

10. Watch the company they keep.
Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are. If you want your child to be a mighty vessel in God’s hand. You must start watching the kind of friends they keep. Any friend you know that’ll not add positive value to their life, you have to separate them. Find out the kind of company they keep. Don’t leave them to choose any kind of friend they want but you can teach and help them to know the kind of friends they should follow. Your children’s friend will either make or mar their destiny.

11. Buy a copy of a bible for them.
From day one of the child’s birth, the bible should be the first gift you should present to your child. It is the best gift you can ever present to them.

12. Teach them how to read the bible.
When they are matured enough to read and write, teach them how to read the bible. Always read it out loud to their ears and let it stick in their mind. You can create a time for bible study so they can get used to it. Remember Joshua 1:8 says,This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

13. Give them what they need not what they want.
If you allow them to point out what they wanted, then you must be prepared to spend more than what you budget and also ready to buy the whole world for them. The best way not to spend unnecessary cash on things they want is to provide them with what they need. If you provide them with what they need, the things they wanted might not necessarily be necessary.

14. Spend quality time with them.
Never stay away from them for too long, always try to be round them and play with them. Create quality time for them so that you can truly discover who they really are. By so doing you will quickly discover who they are likely to become. Some children can’t go near daddy especially when he’s reading punch newspaper, so as the mother too, when seated at the front of T.V watching Africa magic.
If you don’t play with them, they might start to feel dull and lonely which may affect their mental performance. Parental touch makes children happy so try to spend quality time with them.

“Children can be a source of blessings to their parents”

15. Plan your holidays.
Many parents might not fancy going out on holidays, vacations with their children or taking them out just to catch a glimpse of fun. They just feel that hanging around under that coconut tree in the compound is enough? My friend, that isn’t enough. It will be wonderful thing to Move out from that garden and Plan to go on vacations, holidays or outing with your family, they will enjoy it and they will love it. You can make it weekly, monthly, biannual or annually. Take them out and be proud of them. It also will bring your family more closely than ever and enhance your relationship with them.

16. Introduce them to Christ.
Parents are supposed to be the first preacher to preach about Christ to their children. If you don’t preach Christ to them they will definitely get preached to outside and you might lose a reward for not preaching Christ to them initially at their early stage.
And you know children can be very funny, they will say my mummy and my daddy didn’t tell me anything about Christ which very embarrassing.
Immediately you know they are becoming wise, introduce Christ to them before others will help you and grab the portion of your reward. I pray nobody will steal your crown in Jesus name.

17. Love them equally.
As parents, you are supposed to love them equally. Never love them partially or irrationally. If God has blessed you with more than one or you are expecting another one, you are meant to love them equally. By loving them equally, you won’t create enmity between them and they will feel safe all the time. Remember, love conquer all things.

Conclusion

Children are apple of God’s eye and they are very precious in God’s eye. The way you train them will determine what they will likely become in life; remember children are the heritage of the Lord, God is the only that can take care of them, you are to do your best and he will do the rest. Thanks and God bless you.

Religion / Re: Why I'm Convinced That No One Will Make Heaven, Be You A Christian Or A Pagan by diamondchild: 11:38pm On Dec 04, 2016
I pray God should open your inner and spiritual eyes to know and understand what heaven is about.

heaven is not a place for jokers, heaven no be beans, heaven is not meant for unserious minded people, heaven is a serious business which you have to ask for God's Grace because it's not by power nor by might.

if you study the criteria to make heaven you 'll discover that you need higher level of God's grace and mercies to make heaven.

Jesus told us in the book of Matthew 5:48 KJV
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

You can't continue to live a normal life and say that you want to make heaven, how many of you here, imagined you are standing on your right and you got slapped in the midst of a conversation not even an argument and then you turn your other ear to the same person to give you another hot slap, well maybe 1 out of 10,000. In the physical realm it's abnormal but in the spiritual realm it's normal.

or how many of you here can pluck out one of his or her own eyes if they make you to commit sins?
You see why you need to surrender now to Jesus to help you control your life.
heaven's grade is always 100/100 or nothing less, not even 99% Pass, that is why you have to live a blameless and a perfect life.

My friend Heaven is real and is for God's own people, hell fire is real and is burning hard every seconds.

The first step you must take if you want to make heaven is that you must be saved, how can you be saved? you must be born again, you must surrender your life to Jesus.
God bless y you ou as you do so.

Plz let's be careful of the kind of message we post about heaven, by not causing damages to people's faith and believers race to heaven.

Jesus loves you.
Religion / God's Original Plan For Mankind by diamondchild: 7:30pm On Nov 27, 2016
God's Original plan for every man is very unique and glorious. Even some parents, have a very good plan for their children before the child was born, some after the child has started walking, and some after the child has grown up to the age of 18 years.

When we begin to highlight these plans, we will discover that they are a very good and solid plan.
But no matter how good and solid plans parents have for their children, the almighty God still has the original and better plan for that child in his hands right even before the child was conceived, because he's the original master planner.

The bible says that:

Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) says
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

The new living translation (NLT) says
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.     Before you were born I set you apart     and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

God has a different and unique plans for everyone one us, the plan God have for Mr A is totally different from the one he has for Mr B. The plans God has for sister Simi is still totally different from sister Titi's.

God original plan for our lives is always the best and he's not ready to use any alternatives plan other than the initial and original one he has. But either knowingly or unknowingly, we always force God to use alternatives plans rather than the original plan. Before you know it you are gradually shifting, drifting and diverting from God's original plan to the alternatives ones. The scriptures says that in the book of Jeremiah

Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) says
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

The new living translation (NLT) says
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

As a merciful father, all is plan for our lives are to fulfil the divine purpose and assignment he has for us.
A lot of people are engaged in to many different kind of things in life but they don't even know if they are fulfilling God's purpose or not. Little did they even understand that There is different between fulfilling your purpose and fulfilling God's purpose.

NOTE: Anybody without purpose is nobody.

To operate under God's Original plan is for you to be at the level he wants you to be which is the top level not below, not under not beneath and not even beside.

God doesn't want us to struggle in life that is why he created us in his image. It is never his plans for us to be struggling because he has already prepared and packaged his divine blessings for every one us. But due to our own lustful desires and disobedient, we have been doing almost everything without God involvement and intervention and we have eventually missed some packages he has for us.

The book of Romans let us know that

Romans 3:23 KJV
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

New living translation (NLT) says:
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

I pray that you will not miss God divine packages he has for you in Jesus name.
But the Grace he gave through his son Jesus Christ, he is ever ready to restore us back to our original plan if on only we acknowledge and obey him and also keep his commandment.

If you're still still practicing the fruits of the flesh, still committing any kind of sin, my friend you're just living on your own purpose and plan not God's purpose and original plan.

Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) says:
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

If you still find it hard to keep God's commandment, to pray, to fast, to meditate on the word of God, to listen to the word of God, to activate your faith, my friend you're still very far from God's Original plan for your life.

Never worried if you still find yourself in these categories cause the KING of kings is still ready to restore you back to his divine original plan he had for you initially. The book of chronicles tells us that

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

New living translation (NLT) says:
Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

For you to be restored back to God's divine original and for you to fulfil his divine purpose for your life, you have to be born again. You have to surrender your life totally to Jesus Christ and say you want him to come and reign in your life, you want him to take over and take total control of your life, you are tired of struggling, you're tired of paddling your own boat by yourself, you want him to come and paddle your boat for you, you want him to be the pilot of your airplane, you to live a new life, you want to live your life for him alone, you want to start experiencing first class breakthrough, first class victory, first class success, first class promotion, firstclass healing, you don't want to continue living a life of sin anymore, remember Peter, the bible let us know that he toiled all day but he caught nothing, he tried his PHD,BSC, OND HND, ND, NCE, MASTER'S even O' level experience but they couldn't get him a single fish but when the master came in to the boat everything became glorious, he only need to obey the word the word that you heard today and the rest his history

Luke 5:4-7 (NLT)
[4]When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.”
[5]“Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.”
[6]And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear!
[7]A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.

Peter surrendered to Jesus and he had a net breaking miracle that nobody in his family or colleagues ever had, you too can have that kind of miracle, that kind of healing, if only you will surrender to him now, not today not tomorrow, not next month don't postpone your salvation tomorrow might be too late. Come to him now, he said:

Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

He also said in the book of Matthew

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

If you are ready to be restored back to God's Original plan please say this prayer with faith

LORD JESUS I SURRENDER TO YOU TODAY, I KNOW YOU CAME TO THIS WORLD TO DIE FOR MY SINS AND I CONFESSED THAT YOU ARE THE SON OF OF GOD, TAKE OVER MY LIFE AND COME AND REIGN IN MY LIFE.

Health / For A Healthy Living: Just Enjoy A Variety Of Vegetables by diamondchild: 11:18am On Apr 26, 2016
Eating healthy is important for everyone – and I bet: you know that already…

Plus: one of the most important keys to eating a better diet is eating more fruits and vegetables. I bet again: you knew that too. But:

Many people are unsure how to use vegetables more effectively as part of their diet, but it may be easier than you think to provide yourself and your family with healthy, nutritious meals at a great prices!

One way to create wonderful meals that are healthier than ever is to take a stroll through the produce section of your local grocery store.

Most major grocery store chains have huge produce sections, containing a wonderful variety of fruits and vegetables from all corners of the world.

Trying a variety of different fruits and vegetables is a great way to keep your meals interesting and exciting in addition to nutritious. It is all too easy to become bored when trying to follow a healthy diet, and boredom can lead people to abandon their healthy habits.

Avoiding diet burnout is important to the long term survival of even the most sensible eating plan.

So if you’ve never had vegetables like collard greens, asparagus or kale before, why not give them a try. Not only can trying new things allow you to make great new discoveries, but it can increase your level of fitness as well. Leafy green vegetables like spinach, broccoli and kale are rich sources of many important vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients.

Another great way to increase the variety of vegetables you enjoy is to combine fresh, frozen and canned vegetables. While fresh vegetables are generally better and healthier, frozen and canned vegetables can be great alternatives for when the fresh varieties are out of season.

One of the best things about fresh fruits and vegetables is the great variety of flavors, colors and textures available. Eating a variety of different colored vegetables and fruits does much more than provide much needed variety. Itvariety of nutrients.

For instance, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables tend to be very high in beta carotene, while green leafy vegetables are often great sources of calcium and other important nutrients. So why not spice up your plain old green salad with a splash of color in the form of yellow peppers or orange carrot slices?

Many people wrongly think that they can make up for a crappy diet by using vitamin and mineral supplements. This mistaken belief is apparently very widespread, since sales of these supplements continue to break records.

When considering vitamin and mineral supplements, however, it is important to remember that foods contain many different minerals, trace elements and other micronutrients.

That means that for every nutrient that has been discovered and synthesized, there may be ten, twenty or more of these micronutrients that have yet to be fully understood. That is why no vitamin supplement, no matter how complete, can truly replace a healthy, balanced diet.

In addition, vitamin and mineral supplements are quite a bit more expensive than a good selection of vegetables and fruits, and not nearly as tasty.

When changing your diet and eating for a healthier lifestyle, it is important to educate yourself about eating right, and go choose the right fruits and vegetables for your tastes. After all, the best diet is the one you can follow for the rest of your life.

One of the best ways to start eating a healthy diet is to choose the freshest fruits and vegetables. Not only do fresh fruits and vegetables taste better, but they are less expensive and more nutritious as well. Choosing a variety of in season fruits and vegetables every week is a great way to enjoy healthy and varied meals.

Of course your favorite fruits and vegetables will not always be in season, so it will sometimes be necessary to supplement those fresh fruits and vegetables with canned and frozen varieties. When choosing canned fruits, try to avoid those packed in syrup; choose canned fruits packed in fruit juice or water instead. They will be healthier and contain less sugar.

Adding fresh fruit, such as apple slices, mandarin oranges, nectarines and the like is a great way to make plain salads more interesting and more delicious. Combining fruits and vegetables is a great way to enhance your nutrition as well.

Career / Re: 8 Things I Learned From The Co-founder Of Jobberman by diamondchild: 8:59am On Apr 13, 2016
This article is to motivate you guys, please do not criticize or condemn..thanks.
Career / 8 Things I Learned From The Co-founder Of Jobberman by diamondchild: 9:43am On Apr 12, 2016
is the largest job search website in west Africa. The site was launched in august 2009, at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Opeyemi Awoyemi, Ayodeji Adewunmi, and Olalekan Olude are the co-founders of jobberman.

In The just concluded youth enterprise conference organized by Mr Akin Alabi, the founder of nairabet, at the Eko hotel and suite in Lagos, Opeyemi Awoyemi discuss 8 vital key points to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

So check out this fairly 8 key things you must know if you want to be a good entrepreneur.

1. Patience

Patience Is one of the key if you want to be a good entrepreneur, A good entrepreneur must learn how to be patience because it solves all problems. When you feel like quitting all because you are not getting result for your hard work, you don’t have to quit too soon all you have to do is to exercise patience because the size of your patience will also determine the reward and outcome of your effort. Thomas Edison did not quit while inventing bulb, Abraham Lincoln did not quit, despite the fact that he was defeated so many times before he eventually became the president of America.

2. Partnership

If you feel you can’t do it alone, get a support , get a partner. Your partner doesn’t have to be your best friend or your neighbor, roommate, etc as far as he or she is not seeing what you are seeing you can’t make them to become your partner. Your partner must be someone that has the same goal, drive and vision with you. You must see your partner as someone you can achieve great things together, at least Two heads are better than one. Your partner will not only have to support you physically, but materially, emotionally and financially. People like mark zuckerberg of facebook, steve jobs of apple etc They all have partner that took them where they are today.

3. Knowledge

Knowledge is the psychological result of perception and learning and reasoning. Knowledge is power and knowledge is powerful. Everyday gives us a fresh new opportunity to learn something new. We must not neglect the power of studying or learning new skills, course, adventures etc Any opportunity that moves towards our direction, we should always grab it as if it would be our only chance. Acquire knowledge, acquire skills, try something new and study always.

4. Ambition

Everyone should have some ambition in life. An ambition gives meanings and purpose to life and the purpose gives a definite direction to one’s life and induces and inspires him to make efforts to achieve the purpose.

Aim higher, stand tall and dream big. Always have a strong drive for success, a strong desire to do or achieve something.let something always push you up and always ready to take chances, if you want something go get it. Never let anybody tell you that you can’t do it, believe in yourself and always be ambitious.
Dream it. Believe it, achieve it. Lionel messi didn't gave up while pursuing his football career despite the fact that arsene wenger did not gave him the chance to feature in his team, today, he is the best football player on the planet earth. Be ambitious in life and go for gold.

5. Get Advice

Get advice from someone who has done it before or someone who is very close in achieving what you want to achieve. And you must also be careful from who you are getting advice from because there are dream killers and there are dream pillars. Dream killers will always give you the wrong advice which might be detrimental to achieving your goals, while dream pillars will always help you build your dreams with the necessary pillars to hold on so that it won’t ever fall. They are the ones you can rely on anyday, anytime, anywhere. So get advice from the ones your heart leads you to, it might be your religion leader, lawyer, friends, co-worker, partner etc. the fact that you are seeking their advice will encourage them to do their best because they ‘ll realize that you count them as a professional, special and important for seeking their help.

6. Age

Many people keep having issue with age factor when it comes to starting something NEW, I tell you, no one is too old or too young to start and achieve great things. No age restriction, they are some people who actually picked up a guitar at a very young age like 12 while some picked up their guitar at 45 and they both arrived at the same answer.
Many successful business owners today started their career either at young age or at old age and they doing very fine and great. You shouldn’t let age factor be your barrier when starting an idea. The only thing one is to START NOW!

7. Raising money

Never start a project with the mindset of raising money from it initially, this might ruin your project too early. Just take things one after the other, believe in your idea, believe in yourself and believe in God. Do the right things, fix whatever is necessary to make your business standout definitely your business will flourish.

8. Focus.

This one last thing you can’t miss out is total focus, avoid distractions, avoid any form of time wasting schedule that will drain your energy and consume your time without allowing you to achieve what you ‘re supposed to. Be committed, avoid any form of distractions be self disciplined and be 100% focused. Imagine while working on your project with your internet connection and you saw a quick adverts that pops up behind the right hand screen of your computer that says make $100 in one hour. By which you eventually clicked, then you absolutely lose focus. You might be lost and need to re arrange yourself again before you can continue from where paused. So while working on new ideas or projects, let’s be focused and avoid any form of distractions.

Hope this article has helped you one way or the other, if it really does help your Friends and family out there by sharing to them, see you at the top.

One of the reasons why I always tell people I'm German whenever they ask me where I'm from or my Nationality even though my Pops is a Nigerian. Nothing ever works in this godforsaken shit-hole called Nigeria. Wasn't this the same slowpoke who was boasting that he could give Nigerians 24 hours electricity in less than a year? Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Gabon and South Africa can virtually boast of 21 hours or even 24 hours a day. I'm not saying this cos I want to just talk but I'm saying this cos I've been to these countries and I can tell you it's true.

Nigeria is not a Godforsaken country, it's the people especially our leaders that has forsaken God, they don't seek divine instructions from God before they act, they don't operate in wisdom, they don't have a single byte of fear God in them, the level of their intelligence is at a very low pace, the only area they are intelligent is how to steal money and satisfy their self interest owing that they don't have the fear of God in them, imagine a single person embezzling an huge amount of money that's meant for a whole nation that's about to worth 300million people by the year 2020.haba!
if Nigeria can manage her natural & mineral resources very well, this great country will be mentioned among the top 10 best & richest nation in the world.

Health / Stop Snoring Naturally! by diamondchild: 1:31pm On Mar 30, 2016
Do you smoke or drink?

Do you have a stressful life?

Can you afford to lose a couple of pounds?

Would you be surprised to hear that these things could be the reason you snore so badly? Snoring is a health issue and more often than not, health issues have one surefire cure. A healthy lifestyle.

If you couldn't run around the block without gasping for air or if you couldn't eat your favorite foods without feeling an ache in your tummy, you wouldn't be surprised if your doctor told you to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Snoring is no different. If you (or more likely your partner) is suffering from your snoring then you don't need prescription medicine or expensive surgery, more likely than not, you just need a natural cure.

Natural Ways to Stop Snoring can help you stop snoring by teaching you the holistic ways your body is clamoring for.

In most cases, snoring is a symptom, not a cause. If you can understand and relieve the underlying causes for why you are snoring than you can cure yourself simply, easily and from the comfort of your own home.

Snoring is your body’s way of telling you that there is a problem. If you could understand what that message your body is telling you is, you could not only stop your snoring but live a healthier lifestyle.

Natural Ways to Stop Snoring can explain all of this to you in an easy to understand step-by-step method.

don't spend another night snoring. Sleep well tonight and every night for the rest of your life.

Career / Are You Checking What Is In Your Hands by diamondchild: 4:31pm On Mar 13, 2016
Many people has neglected what is their hands, instead trade it for other materials things that will not last long or for ever. I know you might be wondering what do i really mean by checking what is in your?
very quickly, Let me give you two example in the word for a better understanding and spiritual backing

The Widow’s Olive Oil

pour-oilHere let me introduce to you a life transforming encounter with the widow who was in financial crisis but when she released what’s in her hand, there was a divine breakthrough for her and her family, not only did she paid all her debt but also have abundance after releasing what she thought can never change anything in her life.
1 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the LORD. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”
2 Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.” 2kings 4:1-2
“One thing about us is that we usually undermine what we have in our lives. Unfortunate the potential until we discover and appreciate the seed God has put in our hands”. Sunday Ayegba

When you read further from verse 3 to 7, you will discover how the seed in her hand multiplied into greatness through God intervention.

2. The Talents


14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country , who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods .
15 And unto one he gave five talents *, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey .
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh , and reckoneth * with them.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying , Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said , Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said , Lord, I knew thee, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown , and gathering where thou hast not strawed :
25 And I was afraid , and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed :
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given , and he shall have abundance : but from him that hath not shall be taken away * even that which he hath
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. . Mathew 25 vs 14-29

There is no man born without greatness inside of him, You need to check what is your hand, some might be singing, handling of tools, talkative, joke cracking etc.You might think what is your hand is foolish ,nothing, little or weak, remember the the word says

For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 1 corinthians 1:25 .

The word also says in proverbs 18:16
“A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men”.

I was reading a book earlier this week when the author shared a story of a farmer in a book called acres of diamond by Russel Conwell and i think i should share with you so we can learn one or two things.

A farmer named Al-Haffed who was tired of miserable lot in life. He had the dream of becoming very rich and famous but concluded that he could not achieve that dream through farming. He sold his farm to another farmer and left is farm and family and journeyed to a distant lands in search of diamonds. He traveled round the world in a futile search and died a poor, frustrated and broken man without setting his eyes on any diamonds. Back home, the farmer who bought Al-Haffed ‘s farm together with one of the wise men on the east started cultivating it. One day the farmer accidentally discovered a large and unusual stone on the land while farming. After examination by experts, he was told he just discovered the world largest diamonds.

Al-Haffed’s farmland was one of the world largest diamond fields but he went on futile search for diamonds. If he had remained at home and continued on his farm he would have become one of the richest men in the world.
TAKE AWAY
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin”

Many people have more than enough in their hands but they are not giving a close attention to it, all they would say is i don’t think i can, i don’t think i have, i don’t think this, i think that? Check the seed in your before you use or say the word “i don’t think” in this kind of situation.

There is a gift, talents, skills, seed in your hands, you might think is little but it can bring you before great men and make way for you. The question now is
ARE YOU CHECKING WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS?

seed in your hand

See you at the top..God bless you.

Career / 5 Rules To Live A Happy Life by diamondchild: 8:52pm On Mar 07, 2016
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological, religious and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources. Check out this fairly five rules to live a happy life
1. Love Your Self
You must love everything about yourself and always be grateful to God. No matter what you are, no matter where you are, no matter what you do, just love yourself.
If you don’t love yourself, how can you show love to others and how do you expect others to show the love in return. If you don’t even want to even love yourself always remember that you ‘re unique, you are wonderfully and fearfully made by God, You have no photocopy.
Someone out there love you the way you are, the way you walk, talk, smile etc which a very good reason for you to love yourself.
there might be someone that posses the same characteristics and attributes as you but he / she can never be like you because you are you, and you are unique.

2. Do Good
“It’s good to be good and it’s not bad to be to good but it’s bad to be bad and it’s not good to be bad”.
Doing good does not only involve your loved ones, family friends or people you know, it involves almost everybody, either tall, short, fat or slim, Just do good to people either it’s convenient or not, anywhere, anyhow anytime. It does not matter how you are doing it, just keep doing it. Never stop doing it even if you don’t get the reward now, I bet it, you will definitely reap what you sow no matter how long it takes.

3. Always Forgive
Forgiveness comes from the heart not by the word of mouth, you can’t forgive by saying it alone with your mouth without 100% support and approval of your heart. Matthew 6:14-15Amplified Bible (AMP)
14 For if you forgive [a]others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others [nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God], then your Father will not forgive your trespasses.
Forgiving and forgetting shows maturity, not only that alone, it shows that one has the fear of God and whoever has the fear God has a sound mind.

4. Never Harm Anyone

Never have the mindset to harm anyone, even if the person hurt you so bad that you could ever imagined. Just don’t have the feeling of hurting the person back, just let it go and rather make peace with the person.
If the person realized his or her mistakes and yet do not apologize, it shows that you don’t have to be with that kind of a person, just forgive, forget and move on. You deserve the best.

5. Be Positive
Positive thinking is a mental and emotional attitude that focuses on the bright side of life and expects positive results.
A positive person anticipates happiness, health and success, and believes he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty.
Positive thinking is not accepted by everyone. Some, consider it as nonsense, and scoff at people who follow it, but there is a growing number of people, who accept positive thinking as a fact, and believe in its effectiveness. You are what you think you are, know in mind that as a man thinketh in heart so he is.

Career / 10 Questions You Should Ask To Yourself by diamondchild: 8:15pm On Feb 08, 2016
"What Really Makes You Tick?" 10 questions you should ask to yourself: a preparation to self-improvement

Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it's hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

So we're all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn't even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?
1. What do I really want?

The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.
2. Should I really change?

Today's generation has taken another level of redefining 'self', or at least that's what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?

If history has taught us one thing, it's the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.
3. What's the bright side in all of this?

With so much is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it's a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!
4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?

There's always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.
5. Have I done enough for myself?

Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you'll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.
6. Am I happy at where I am today?

It's an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!
7. Am i making a living or making an impact?

Many people are are satisfied at just making a living, go to school, work, build house, buy expensive cars and fat account etc. you may posses all this things yet not making an impact in life because its all temporary, even the bible says what shall it profit man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul. Think about others not only yourself, think about the future not now, think globally not locally. If you are Making an impact, you will definitely make a living.
8. How much could I have?

I suppose in this case there is no such things on having things too much or too little, but it's more on how badly you really need it. I'd like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it legally and genuinely.
9. What motivates me?

What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of them may be the hardest part. It's not like you can't have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just try it piece by piece.
10. What Really Makes You Tick?

So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the
physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it's something that you really want.

Career / A Dream You Dream Alone Is Only A Dream. A Dream You Dream Together Is Reality by diamondchild: 11:02am On Jan 20, 2016
The world is a better place today because of the dreamers. Great men and women of the past who had a vision, who had a dream and collaborated with others who believed in their vision. They achieved momentous milestones in life, which changed people’s lives around the world.
No man is an island. This saying holds a lot of truth in it. You too can dream of big ideas and share it with other like minded people. The results may not only change others’ lives, but they also will reinforce your belief that nothing is impossible to achieve. If you can dream it, you can achieve almost any goal, with the help of a good team.
Edwin Barnes had never achieved anything significant in his life. He had the dream of becoming Thomas Edison’s business associate. He dreamed it and took a ride to meet the renowned inventor. When he met Edison, things did not go as he had envisioned. But he was wise enough to be patient, as he was determined to achieve his mission.
Years after working unnoticed around Thomas Edison, an opportunity presented itself, through which he became Edison’s business associate, as he helped him sell his creations throughout America.
At a tender young age, Steve Jobs was a man of vision. He thought of creating one of the world’s first personal computers. An idea that he shared with one high school friend, Walter Wozniak. Together they started Apple in the back of their garage. The passion with which these men shared in their project is what has resulted in the creation of the world’s most prominent brand, Apple. Today, Apple is the popular manufacturer of iPhones, iPads, as well as desktop and laptop computers.
Dream chasers make a difference in the lives of many people around the world. It takes courage to assemble a team of like minded achievers. As a group they can achieve infinitely more that any member of the team could on their own. Great minds together can achieve things that were previously thought impossible.
Henry Ford is a prime example of such a formation of talents. He collected the best minds and commissioned them to build an engine that would change the face of the transport industry at the time. Another example is Andrew Carnegie, a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist, made his fortune by working closely with talented minds.
In this world, we can achieve anything we want. We need to dream it, believe it, and surround ourselves with like minds, and before we know it, our dreams will materialize faster than we ever imagined.

Career / Six Steps For Personal Growth by diamondchild: 10:39am On Jan 18, 2016
Growth refers to a positive change in size, and/or maturation, often over a period of time. Growth can occur as a stage of maturation or a process toward fullness or fulfillment. One can also experience spiritual, physical, financial, academical, self improvement growth, etc.Even a baby still have to pass through some certain stage to experience physical growth.
But we won’t be talking about growth in size here, we will be discussing about personal growth in the area where by you can improve and apply it to achieve some great achievement.

1. Make a plan. Like the popular saying that he who fails to plan is planning to fail, so you must always try to make a plan, don’t just assume that this is how the outcome of something is going to be, if you are not making a plan is like you are traveling to a far place without a road map or true description.You can start by drawing out a daily time table.

2. Establish goals. You must start setting goals for you to grow in some key areas of your life,as it is said in
Habakkuk 2:2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it .
When setting goals, set a very high goals, you will be amazed when you start accomplishing them one by one.

3. Put yourself in a growth. Don’t look for growth anywhere, start from any where you are by putting yourself in a growth. It doesn’t matter where you live it is how you live.

4. Learn to enjoy the journey. Learn all you can from each person, resources, opportunity, mistakes, techniques etc. Just learn all you can from that person and don’t ever leave a person the same way you met him or her. Try to add positive values to people ‘s life so they can feel your absence when you are not around them.

5. File what you learn in a place. store what you learn in a place so that you can find them whenever you need them. It could be in a book, tablets, wardrope or inside your medulla oblongata .

6. Apply. Use and apply all this tips you’ve learn.. see you at the top. remember don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do it. love you!

Religion / Re: 10 Categories Of Jobs That Deplete People's Chances Of Making Heaven by diamondchild: 4:24pm On Jan 17, 2016
cold:
Heaven is easy to make. All you have to do is; in the morning,pray to god for the sins you're about to commit through out the day. And at the end of the day,pray for forgiveness for the sins you committed during the day and you're good to go. How easy is that?
Remember that tomorrow might be too late, what if one don't have the opportunity to see the evening of that same day nko, one might be causing big problem for oneself by intentionally sinning against God and willing to ask for forgiveness of sin later, it doesn't work like that, is like surrendering your life to christ in the morning and before evening you say lord give me back my life i want to make use of it, he will easily give it to you without any question, though our God is a merciful God, but you still have to surrender to him totally and ask for grace never to fall into temptation.

Career / 8 Success Secrets Tips That Can Make You An Achiever by diamondchild: 3:30am On Nov 23, 2015
1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life

In a society where people blame everything from their parents to the government for failure, those who don’t buy into this mentality or succumb to the “victim” thinking succeed. To blame something or somebody outside yourself is saying they have control of your life and not you. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

2. Live Your Life On Purpose

What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that they believe they’re doing what they were put her to do. The difference between this and just living, is that the latter is just getting through the week with the least problems. But when you live your life on purpose, your main concern is doing the job right. For the entrepreneur this means finding a cause you believe in and building your business around it.

3. Be Willing to Pay the Price

Be willing to pay the price for your dreams. Wanting a big house, a luxury car, and a million dollars in the bank is all very nice, and everyone wants these things – but are you willing to pay the price to get them? This is one of the major differences between the successful and unsuccessful.

4. Stay Focused

Every day we’re bombarded with hundreds of tasks, phone calls, messages, and everyone competing for our time. Focusing requires giving up something in the present because you are investing your time in something that will pay off big-time down the road. Jack Canfield and Mark Hanson were turned by 30 publishers when they submitted the first “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book. Instead of giving up, they stayed focused on their goal and did four or five interviews per day for radio, TV, and newspapers, for five days a week for a whole year. Eventually, a small publisher decided to take a chance, and of course now it’s a best-seller that spawned an entire series that have sold more than 10 million copies.

5. Become An Expert in Your Field

One striking factor all successful people have in common is how seriously they take their profession. They strive to be the best at what they do, and do almost anything to improve. If someone followed you around all day with a video camera at your business, would it be a tape you’d be proud of or embarrassed about? Make the decision today to work at being the best in your field. How? By finding out what the “best” in your field are doing, and do what they do.

6. Write Out a Plan for Achieving Your Goals

Write out an action plan/map for how you’re going to achieve your goals. Trying to reach your goals without a plan is like trying to drive from Los Angeles to Chicago without a map. A goal that isn’t written down is merely a wish or fantasy.

7. Never Give Up

Never, never, never give up. When you’re fully committed to achieving your goal, giving up is not an option. You must be willing do whatever it takes to make it happen. The power of perseverance is an awesome force. As someone once said, “inch by inch it’s a cinch”. Think of the lowly inchworm – if it pondered the length of the trip from start to finish before it started, it probably would never move. To a worm’s point-of-view, the garden path must look like a trip to Mars. Never give up! Keep on going like the Eveready battery bunny, and pretty soon you’re there.

8. Don’t Delay

Nobody knows how much time they have left to accomplish their dreams, and we must remember that we don’t have forever. The clock is ticking, and sooner or later your number comes up and you’re gone. Successful achievers know this too, but they don’t view it as a “negative”. Achievers use it to “spur them on”. They go after what they want as energetically and as passionately as possible, for as long as they have.

please always remember this "If someone followed you around all day with a video camera at your business, would it be a tape you’d be proud of or embarrassed about? Make the decision today to work at being the best in your field"

Business / 7 Tips To Starting A Successful Small Business by diamondchild: 12:34pm On Nov 19, 2015
Getting a small business off the ground is challenging to say the least. Here are some tips which will prepare the ground for running a successful small business.

1. Have Goals


This is where it all starts – the foundation for success. Know exactly where you are heading. What will the business ‘look’ like in the future? How will you know when your business is a success? When you wake up in the morning, do you know what actions you have to take to get you on the road to success?

2. Take Action

The difference between success and failure is down to the actions you take. The failures in life are the people who know what they have to do but never do it. The successful small business owners are people who take action on their ideas, ones who never say, “I wish I had done …”

3. Seek Feedback

There is a saying that feedback is the breakfast of champions. During the early days of your business you must continually seek feedback about all aspects of your business. What works? What doesn’t work? What needs changing slightly? Speak to customers, suppliers, your bank manager, your accountant - anyone who can provide you with a fresh perspective.

4. Find Out What Do You Don’t Know

You can’t expect to know everything about running a business. Undertake your own skills analysis and find out your areas for development. Once you know your knowledge gaps seek out courses, books and advice, which will get you on track.

5. Be Focused

Let no one distract you from achievement of your goals. At the start of every day get yourself into the frame of mind that you will only do tasks which will get you closer to your goal – nothing else matters.

6. Take Risks!

You will never achieve anything if you’re not prepared to jump off the cliff a few times! We’re not talking about risks which will put the business in jeopardy; just risks which are planned and thought out, yet at the same time test the edge!

7. Think Positive

Yes, the oldest cliché in the book, but totally true. See the positive in everything. If something has not gone right train yourself to ask, “What good has come out of this?” Understand that in every problem there is potential for good.

Career / 15 Ultra Practical Skills That Can Make You A Brilliant Public Speaker by diamondchild: 2:02pm On Nov 06, 2015
Many of us are now required to make presentations. Whether it is for an interview or simply for a staff meeting, most of us at some point will have to stand in front of a crowd and face that fear of public speaking. While public speaking comes naturally to some, most people dread that moment when they become the focal point in a room. Some of us finally master the craft through years of practice, some are still fighting to find that comfort level.

No matter where you find yourself in the spectrum, the following fifteen ultra practical skills will definitely help you become a brilliant public speaker:
1. Research your audience

Knowing who you will be addressing will help you prepare your mindset accordingly and help you feel more comfortable.
2. Know your environment

Find out about where your presentation will take place. If possible, familiarize yourself with the place ahead of time. Make notes of the little things: “Will there be a podium?” or “Is there a projector?” Also, be mindful of key elements of the atmosphere, such as the noise level and lighting.
3. Prepare

While for some, it might seem redundant to point this out, it is important that you prepare for your presentation, regardless of how familiar you may be with the topic of discussion. Create an outline for yourself, to help keep you on track.
4. Practice

Again, it does not matter how familiar you are with the topic, practice your speech at least once. This will give you a chance to plan your pauses, which will keep you from sounding like you’re reading from a prompter.
5. Practice articulation

One important part of your practice should revolve around articulation. Focus on words that are difficult to pronounce and/or have varied pronunciations. There is nothing worst than a public speaker who does not enunciate.
6. Use tools

For those of us who are very nervous, this is especially helpful. Whether it is an index card to keep your thoughts organized, or a clicker to control your slide presentation, tools will help you stay on track.
7. Dress to impress

This may not seem like an important tip to most, but one of the easiest ways to boost your confidence is by ensuring that you dress to impress. As a public speaker, you will be the center of attention in the room for a long period of time, which will undeniably give your audience an opportunity to examine every aspect that you present – including your wardrobe. Be sure to dress appropriate to the event and pay attention to the small details in your wardrobe.
8. Walk

The last thing you want to do is stand in front of your audience like a stiff board. Walk and move around, it will not only relax you but it will also keep your audience more engaged.
9. Breathe

Another important part of your speech is to remember to breathe. This will allow for you to sound more natural and also take breaks at appropriate times. Your audience will be able to connect better with you if you sound like you are having a regular conversation, rather than bombarding them with information without taking the time to breathe.
10. Avoid filler words

Filler words such as “um” or “so” can be extremely detrimental to a public speaker. When overused, your audience will start focusing more on how many times you’ve used them versus the message that you are conveying. Furthermore, you will sound less confident using all of these fillers.
11. Partner up

One of the best ways to help you feel comfortable as a public speaker is by finding an opportunity to partner up with a colleague or friend for your presentation. You will have someone to help you move the presentation along, as well as answer questions from the audience.
12. Encourage questions

While you do not have to take tons of them, questions from your audience may present an opportunity for you to further develop on a concept that you mentioned during your presentation.
13. Ask for feedback

It may not be the easiest thing to read feedback, but it is the only way that you will learn what you should do differently. You can choose to provide your audience with an anonymous evaluation form to complete. You can also simply ask a couple of friends to observe your presentation and provide you with their feedback.
14. Take a course

Taking a course with some tips to develop your skills as a public speaker can only help you better prepare for your future presentations. Be sure to put the notions into practice in order to see the results.
15. Get experience

Even if your first public speaking experience was disastrous, still look for an opportunity to do another. With every opportunity comes new experience. Soon enough, you will learn how to repeat the good and avoid the bad.
Conclusion

Most of us are not born with the natural talent to be able to charm an audience as a public speaker; however, these skills will help anyone reach that point where the thought of public speaking no longer send them in a panic.

Health / 14 Signs You’re Not Drinking Enough Water by diamondchild: 3:30pm On Oct 10, 2015
There’s not much in this world more refreshing than a tall, ice-cold glass of water. I don’t think there’s anyone alive that can deny that sometimes, a simple glass of water can be more satisfying than a cup of coffee or a can of soda. Despite this, too many of us don’t drink enough water on a daily basis. By depriving ourselves of the world’s most natural resource, we are continuously damaging our bodies. If you experience any of the following, you can improve your situation by starting with a glass of H2O.
1. Your Mouth is Dry

This seems pretty obvious, but the ramifications might not be so. Of course, any time you feel that sticky, nasty feeling in your mouth, you’d obviously reach for some sort of liquid. But sugary drinks are only a temporary solution to a larger problem. Drinking water lubricates the mucus membranes in your mouth and throat, which will continue to keep your mouth moist with saliva long after that first sip.
2. Your Skin is Dry

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so of course it needs to stay hydrated. In fact, dry skin is one of the earliest signs of full-on dehydration, which can lead to much larger problems. A lack of water means a lack of sweat, which leads to a body’s inability to wash away excess dirt and oil accumulated throughout the day. If you want to stave off breakouts, your first recourse should be to drink more water.
3. You’re Overly Thirsty

We went over dry mouth already, but thirst goes beyond a desert-like tongue. Anyone who’s ever had a hangover can tell you that, upon waking up, your body just can’t get enough water. Alcohol dehydrates the entire body, and drinking water sends “YES PLEASE!” signals to the brain until your fluid levels get back to baseline. Listen to what your body is telling you; it knows what it’s talking about!
4. Your Eyes Are Dry

By now it should be clear that drinking water affects more than just your mouth and throat. A lack of water intake leads to dry, bloodshot eyes (again, think of that last pounding hangover). Without water in the body, your tear ducts dry up. If you’re thinking “So what if I can’t cry?”, realize that this could cause much more harm to your eyes, especially if you wear contacts on a daily basis.
5. You Experience Joint Pain

Our cartilage and spinal discs are made up of about 80% water. This is an absolute necessity to keep our bones from grinding against each other with every step we take. By keeping your body hydrated, you ensure that your joints can absorb the shock of sudden movements, such as running, jumping, or falling awkwardly.
6. Your Muscle Mass Decreases

Your muscles, also, are comprised mostly of water. Obviously, less water in the body means less muscle mass. Drinking water before, during, and after a workout not only keeps you hydrated and comfortable, it also brings water to the right places in your body, and decreases the chance of developing inflammation and soreness related to exercise and weightlifting.
7. You Stay Sick Longer

Drinking water allows your body to continuously flush out toxins. Your organs work to filter our certain waste products like a machine, but if you don’t fuel the machine with water, it cannot work properly. What ends up happening in a dehydrated body is organs start to pull water from stored areas like your blood, which leads to a whole new set of problems.
8. You Feel Fatigued and Lethargic

As we just mentioned, when a body is dehydrated it “borrows” water from your blood. A lack of properly hydrated blood leads to a lack of oxygen being brought throughout the body. Of course, a lack of oxygen leads to sleepiness and outright fatigue. A lack of stamina means you”ll start to experience that 2PM crash earlier and earlier in your day (and remember, coffee won’t help in the long run).
9. You Experience Hunger Pangs

When you’re dehydrated, your body might start to think it needs some food. This happens throughout the day, and overnight when you wake up craving that midnight snack. However, eating food creates more work for your body, whereas drinking water purifies and your organs and supplies it with the fuel it needs to go through the other processes a body goes through.
10. You Experience Digestive Problems

We spoke before about the mucus in our mouth and throat, and how keeping hydrated allows the membrane to function correctly. This also applies to the entire digestive system. Without proper hydration, the amount and strength of mucus in the stomach lessens, allowing stomach acid to do some major damage to your insides. This leads to what we commonly refer to as heartburn and indigestion.
11. You Experience Constipation

Like we said, staying hydrated helps lubricate the digestive system. During the process of dehydration, the colon uses up the water that would have been used by the intestines in the next step of the digestive process. Without going into too much detail, I’ll let you figure out what a lack of lubricant in the intestines leads to.
12. You Experience Reduced Urination

Believe it or not, if you’re not taking a trip to the restroom 4-7 times a day, you’re probably not drinking enough water. And when you do go #1, it should be a light yellow or clear color. If it’s a darker yellow, your body is telling you it’s lacking proper hydration. In extreme cases, dehydration can lead to urinary tract infections, in which case you should consult a doctor right away.
13. You Experience Premature Aging

The amount of water our bodies retain naturally decreases as we age. Obviously, what this means is that, as we get older, we should consciously increase our water intake. While premature aging is more evident on the outside, the damage it does to our insides will ultimately be felt over time. To decrease the risk of running your body raw, it’s important to continue to drink water throughout your lifetime.
14. You’re Reading This And Have Gotten This Far

I drink water all the time. I almost always have a glass or bottle of water next to me, whether I’m working, working out, or vegging out in front of the TV. If you clicked on this article, chances are you thought to yourself “Hm, I don’t think I drink enough water.” So if you don’t think you do, pour a glass right now! Don’t overdo it, of course, but if you’re not getting the recommended amount (which is higher than you’d think), there’s no harm in drinking more. Now if you’ll excuse me, all this typing has made me thirsty.
