God’s acts and works are made manifest in our lives by FAITH. Faith is the spiritual currency with which we buy spiritual gifts and blessings and miracles. Because without faith it is impossible to please GOD. Every battle of life can be defeated by faith. Faith is as important for us as a Christian as oxygen is to a human body. Unfortunately, the devil, our enemy is also aware that we need faith to defeat him. So his attack on Christians centers on their faith at a varying degree. Satan attacks our faith in a subtle way through FEAR. Fear or doubt is the opposite of faith. The moment you begin to doubt GOD, or nurses fear in your heart, you weaken the hands of GOD, and strengthen the hand of the devil to manipulate you or destroy you. Even Jesus could not perform many miracles in His own town because of lack of faith (ie unbelief) of His people. GOD is a Spirit. Devil is a spirit as well. Devil has access to our hearts and know the moment you start to doubt GOD or entertains unbelief in your hearts. And he (devil) fuels this negative thought pattern by providing us with rationalizations to justify why we cannot believe in GOD. Lots of people have never experienced miracles in their lives because of their unbelief. What a pity! The weapon of fear is used on everyone, Christian or non-Christian. believer or non-believer by the devil. But most commonly in a more subtle way on real Christians who have faith in GOD. When GOD speaks to us through faith. The devil speaks to us through fears, thereby making it difficult for us to receive from GOD. Faith is in levels. It grows like plants. There is little faith. There is great faith. There is no faith. A life of no faith is a dangerous life. It is fertile ground for the manipulation by the devil. Since faith is so important, there is therefore need for us to build our faith. Remember, faith is believing before seeing. In the world, it is the opposite: seeing is believing. That is, we see first before we believe. The Thomas kind of faith. This kind of negative faith does not move mountains. It is not the kind of faith that moves GOD. We can build our faith by reading the Bible. Reading reveals the acts and works of GOD to us that build our faith. We can also build our faith by listening to anointed messages on the altar, on the radio, on cassette, on TV, on DVDS or CDs. We build our faith by meditation on the words of GOD. We build our faith by obeying the words of GOD. Obeying GOD speeds up the manifestation of GOD’s acts in our lives that confirm His words we have read or heard about and thus increases our faith in His words. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of GOD. The more words of GOD we hear on a daily basis, the more our faith increases. Faith is a mystery. It manifests its power through our tongue. We must declare what we believe with our mouth after faith is formed in our heart. Faith must not be too big for your mouth. If it is too big for your mouth, it is too big for your hands. You must declare your faith. Your declaration gives it potency. Support your declaration with the words of God. Your declaration is upheld by GOD as long as it is in accord with His will. Declare your faith today, and unleash the power in faith declaration. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. You cannot talk poor and be rich. You cannot talk sickness and be in health. Remember, life or death is in the power of the tongue. This is talking faith. Speaking faith. GOD bless you.

There is really tension everywhere now. But everything is under control on Sabo-Tasha. There is military presence there and things seem to be calm now.

She has taken the best decision of her life: giving up a life of sin and putting God first. You can never change that because the Holy Spirit has empowered her to take that great decision in spite of herself. What you feel now is not love for her but infatuation. Real love will make you to respect her decision. Maybe you started out loving her before you both ruined it with acts of sin: kissing, smooshing, caressing and love making. Of course, the peak is sex! These acts will definitely fuel your emotions and colour otherwise true relationship, changing the basis of togetherness from love to sex. Because each time you are together, instead for you to talk about edifying things, things that will improve or shape your relationship - all the talks will be a prelude to sex with lots of touching and kissing. This is not love! You are hooked by infatuation and the spirit of sexual peversion. Sex is not to be experienced when you are not married. It is a very strong tool to consummate marriage. Because it is capable of inflamming emotions and make them look like they are rooted in love. So you need help! Give your life to Jesus Christ. Confess your sins to Him and ask Him to take over your heart. Devote your time to serving Him and He will fill your heart again with joy unspeakale. Leave her and stop calling her. Infact, cut off contacts with her. If God meant for you to come together again, it will happen on its own accord without cultivation. If you follow my advice, you will thank me one day. God bless you.

The meaning is simple: anyone who does not believe in Jesus Christ and surrenders his/her life to Him, he/she is dead while still alive. He/she is spiritually DEAD. He may think the only dead person is he who has passed away and whom he/she wants to bury. He/she is also spiritually dead which is the worse kind of death.

Where character is lacking, beauty is ugliness...

If intelligence holds an attraction for you, then you must find a girl who is mentally stimulating for you to have a long lasting relationship. Beauty holds an attraction for all men but for most educated men, an intelligent girl provides the attraction that mentally stimulate men without which long lasting relationship may be in jeopardy. Few words is enough for the wise.

Except you have another better alternative, wisdom requires that you take whatever offer you have now. God will only bless the work of your hand. But if you have nothing doing, what will God bless? I started my first job with about N25k per month, but from the first job God gave me another job of which my first job experience was used to hire me as an experienced hire. My first was over N700k per month. And that was over 4 years ago. So my friend, be wise!

Hell is originally designed for Devil and his angels (called demons) who rebelled against God. Hell is a punishment for sins. Because of the severity of the punishment of Hell, and the great love that God has for mankind, that is why he suffered the pain of sending his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to reconcile man to himself and save all mankind from the punishment of Hell. All we only need to do is believe that Jesus has paid for our sins and turned away from evils. Through this, our sins will be forgiven and we can now begin to live a new life in Christ. The grace of God that makes it difficult to go back to sin will be released upon us and we can continue to enjoy fellowship with Christ till death or His Second Coming, whichever comes first. God knows the horror of Hell; that is why when Jesus, at His hour of death, sought God to change His plan for Him( Jesus) to face the death of the cross; God turned down His request. Yes, God is merciful but His love is above his mercy. If God could bear the pain of His only Son suffer the agony of crucifixion; then my brothers, He could as well bear the pain of agony of sinners in Hell who refused to repent and be converted while on the earth, despite several chances to do so.

Yes, you are haunted by the devil. But the good news is you can overcome it if you decide to. First and foremost, all these things are happening to you because you have a glorious destiny. The devil has seen it and he is determined to rob you of it. For the devil main ministry is: to kill, to steal and to destroy. He has therefore assigned his agent close to you to accomplish this mission. And if you don't fight and resist the devil, my brother, you are doomed. I'm not scaring you but just to prepare you for battle. WAY Out? This is simple. You have to connect with God by giving your life genuinely to Jesus Christ. Acknowledge you are a sinner and accept Him as you Lord and Savior and ask Him to wash away your sins by His blood. Then find a good Bible believing church and continue to serve God to establish you connection with God. As children of God, we are entitled to certain rights in Christ Jesus, one of them is the assurance of victory over forces of darkness. Devil or his agents can no more oppress you at night if you are connected with God through Jesus Christ. Because He will give his angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways Psalm 91:11, because it is your right. He will overturn every works of Satan Ezekiel 21:27 by exerting His authority over all powers of darkness Romance 13:1.So before you sleep, pray for God's protection and preserve yourself with the blood of Jesus. Since you have now been renewed and translated from the kingdom of darkness, devil will have no power over you anymore. But first thing first, get connected to enjoy God's protective right. I used to be in your shoes years ago, but God has delivered me and that glorious destiny that the devil has been resisting has been made manifest. Everything has turned for my good. Your story can be the same only if you take the right step. God bless you.

Tinubu's enemies are not the Presidency but the well known members of his household in the same South West. Tinubu needs to watch his back. The plan against him is not that of political irrelevance but that of political annihilation. He needs the combined forces of equally powerful and formidable forces as himself to fight and overcome the battles ahead. They are coming for his head, and I can bet they will get it if Tinubu still erroneously thinks he has the full weapons of warfare he used to have. I have so much regard and pity for him. But he should watch his back!

Friend, what you need is God intervention. Most of the time, the grade level you come out of school with is not determined by ability but by forces outside our control. Just as the saying goes, the race or battle of life is not for the fastest or the strongest. You need to know and recognise the irrefutable fact the moment you become a student of higher learning that, ability alone cannot take you far, because there will be lots of unseen forces to contend with; however, the severity of this experience varies from student to student depending on parental backgrounds. I am telling you all this based on my own personal experience while in the University. I was undoubtedly a first class student who would start reading from the first day school resumed till the end of the semester. I was admitted on merit to read a course I desired. And I was determined to make the best grade. My friend, I came out with 2:2 despite all my efforts. I failed in my bid to secure the grade I worked for because I neglected "God factor". I believed I could do it by myself and I was wrong!

Draw closer to God. Become genuinely involved with Him and His works. Let Matthew 6:33 becomes your motto and strives to live righteously. The devil will flee and your grade is sure to soar. Nothing is impossible with God. Also very important is your level of interest. Develop interest in your course and strive to improve you grade by conscious efforts backed by God. All the best.

Please can someone help me with the current price charged by Wichtech Industries Limited, Lagos per square meter of their Classic Roof Tiles? May God bless you richly as you respond. Thanks

I think the issue here is simple: Fayose has dared Aisha to travel to US and see American wonder. What is she waiting for? Fayose is 20 men in one and cannot be intimidated by anybody, not even the President. Fayose will not rest until he follows Aisha case to a logical conclusion.

Believe it or not, Fayose is always a man of common-sense. His commonsense beat Tinubu to the chess game of political intrigues. His commonsense was put to use to beat an incumbent governor backed by central governmrnt. Fayose commonsense is part of the rare qualities that gives him a cult followership in Ekiti amongst his people. Fayose is simply a political phenomenon. A man of uncommon political wits. You may ignore the words of a thousand wise men, but never ignore a word from Fayose! I dare Aisha Buhari to travel to US and see American wonder!

Dammydrumz, I hope you're not one of those guys that Foolinlove is wary of. I think she has told you her story already or what another type of story do you want to hear.

ok oh!

This is barbaric! Two wrongs do not equal a right. By brutalising the girl, they have simply taken laws into their hands.

This is definitely not the way to go. Holding on to public office should not be a do-or-die affair!

beautiful indeed!

I was once a victim of "let's just be friends" ....

End time emir!

There's no need to be sentimental about Obasanjo's comment on GEJ. OBJ is experienced and wise enough to advise any Nigerian president. Advising is not the same as controlling. The true is that if OBJ had done badly as military HOS, he would have bungled the chance of SW in Nigeria political equation. GEJ also had his opportunity but he bungled it. No force would have stopped his second term if he had done otherwise. Not even all the Boko harams in the world!

Bros, you're not alone on this. Almost everyone else who is doing well does. You don't have to bother yourself too much. Try to recognise giving that is compulsory and that which is not. You have to give to your parents no doubt, and give your tithe. Apart from these, any others are optional. You need to be mindful how you project yourself also before others. Finally, remember not to start what you cannot finish.

The correct version is: my name is... followed by your string of names because the names belong to a person who is a singular noun. In an effort to be grammatically correct, some people are fond of saying, my names are... which is ungrammatical. But when referring to more than one persons, it is however correct to say, our names are... In English language, certain things that appear as plurals may be followed by a singular verb when they are viewed as belonging together such as: Bread and butter is a good meal. Cheers!
