The reasons why prayer doesn’t work occur as a matter of unpredicted future and laziness. You won’t believe that prayer, does not guarantee everything. I want you to consider this truth, “Prayer is defined as ‘asking’ God for things you need, desire, and want.” “It is also a means of establishing a relationship with God.”

Now hear this, a lazy person can’t maintain a good relationship with God. An idle person can’t receive anything, even when he prays. This is a peak time when prayer doesn’t work at all. When we pray to God to bless us, he looks at what we have at hand.

When Moses needed a sign to convince the people of Israel that God really appeared to him, he began to disturb God through PRAYER.

Moses asked God, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say ‘The Lord did not appear to you?” Then Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” Moses replied. The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake…(Exodus 4:1-3).

At that time, prayer worked for Moses who was not idle at the moment he was praying. When prayer doesn’t work is when you’re idle and lazy. When you have nothing [skill, knowledge, idea, etc] to show forth, prayer can’t work for you.

From the prelude of this teaching, I want you to understand that God does not bless an idle person, that’s why St. Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, “No food for a lazy man.” Even if you are a prayer warrior without being a hardworking man or woman, you would die of hunger.

A Wedding Day is an unforgettable day for couples. It’s a day they remember matching to the altar for matrimonial blessings. Bear this in mind; the first year of marriage is incredibly important for your future happiness.

Make every effort to build your marriage within this first year of love and understanding. My personal findings prove that many marriages in this digital world barely last one year before faults are beginning to be figured out. Lack of understanding and love can cause it.

However, some people are getting married to their spouses because of money or personal achievements, and not love. That’s a very big issue that may take plenty of time to be solved, or may have no solution at all. It is advisable to marry your friend, someone you truly love irrespective of their financial status at the moment. The marriage will last because it is built on love. Your wedding day will always be fresh in your memories.

It’s a time to establish good patterns and ways of being together that should continue for the rest of your marriage. These are a few things you need to pound over before picking a wife, husband and taking him or her to the altar to tie the nut. To spicy up your wedding day, take note of the following:

1) Remember The Love At First Sight

Always remember the good things you saw in your spouse that made you choose him or her. I mean the enduring characters that you love in your spouse when you first met him or her. Do well to remember them always. Don’t let the love last only on the wedding day, make sure it endures.

Also, do well to ensure your interest in your spouse did not reduce after some months or years of marriage. Be happy for those amazing things that attracted you to your spouse, and always work to ensure they endure the test of time. Beauty fades but good character endures. Happy wedding day!

2) You Need Love And Security

Remember that all women want the same things; love and security. Remember that men need love and security too. Love means kind words, sweet words, gentle words, quotes, and loving actions that gladden the heart. This is important, especially after the wedding day.

Loving-kindness includes occasional gifts, saying nice things about your spouse, and praising him or her for the good things he or she does. The more you praise your spouse, the happier he or she becomes. The happier your spouse becomes, the more he or she radiates the love and kindness that is within him or her. A happy wedding day to you guys!

3) Let Understanding Guide You

Remember that no woman is perfect. You as the man are not perfect too! Having the understanding that both of your imperfect beings, will help you to understand each other more. Your wedding day is a commission day for another phase of life, make it always count. Continuous forgiveness is the key to a lifelong marriage, nothing more.

Do not allow yourself to start keeping records of your spouse’s mistakes. Forgive each mistake and gently correct him or her. As a man, always take things easy; understand before you act to avoid making things worse.

Remember your vows to each other which you made on your wedding day and always stick to them. Coming from different families and backgrounds, there is no woman that will have exactly the same agenda as her husband.

Serving God together and having children are good common and only original agenda to pursue. However, couples with a good understanding can always work on a particular agenda. Therefore, patience, kind words, and loving actions will always be needed in a marriage that wants to last. A happy wedding day to you!

4) Don’t Compare Your Ability With Your Spouse
Before your wedding day, always meditate on this: remember that there could be generational differences between husbands and their wives. Some wives are much often younger than their husbands while some are older than their husbands. However, by the virtue of being the head of the family, a man is always considered older than his wife.

My wife should be younger than me when I marry. I have to note that she will belong to a different generation; a younger generation. Rather than try to take her back to my generation, I have to try to work with her in her generation. Make her feel you’re mates in everything.

Make her play and have fun with you like mates; make her your playmate in all things and not only during lovemaking because you need her or want a baby from her. When you’re out of the house, call her on video calls, chat her up, send her text messages, it will make her feel fresh love every time she remembers you.

Wives should do the same to their husbands, which is a recommended attitude to develop in other to make every day look like a wedding day to couples! I try to involve her in family decisions. Tell your spouse that you love him or her very often; any number of times you do that every day is okay.

This is a very wrong statement and imagery, it can't help out the situation.

Brother, the Fulani Herdsmen have caused so many harm, violently in Nigeria, and have received a blacklisted and negative record from the world at large, yet Buhari has not view and consider them as terrorists.

IPOB is only a voice for freedom, and not a violent gang.

The world has declared the Fulani herdsmen as the Fourth Deadliest Terror organization — But to the Buhari administration they are peaceful as he caked their incessant killings mere clashes.

It is a shame that the Fulani Sanda stick has been exchanged for the AK 47 Assault Rifle and that I guess is fine and the IPOB that has not one single gun is declared the bigger culprit...

I guess it's all down to politics and political affiliation and fealty to determine who is right and who is wrong and not entirely to Equity, Equality and Justice.

Under the Nigerian Constitution, no state has the powers to establish a parallel police force to EFFECT AN ARREST EXCEPT THE POLICE..., But in the North the Hisbah operates just like a regular police force, and the narrative changes because Muslims will surely take their religion over and above the constitution...

But surely, this country will not continue this way for long.

The Truth may be made to stand on its head but the real casualty is the conscience of the people — Once our consciousness and conscience is lost on what is fair, what is just, then we do not again need to bother engaging ourselves... The Truth is therefore a form of osteoporosis and humanity with it loses its bones and becomes brittle.

Business Insights

Do you believe that Most people have money while Few have wealth?

The examples of people that have money are as follows:
>>>civil servants that ride 3 expensive cars without having a personal investments.
>>>politicians that have no investments of their own.
>>>graduates that move around searching for white-cola jobs that pay N50,000 and above per month.
>>>CEOs that do not regard their staff. They need business and human capital education.

While the examples of people that have wealth are:
>>>civil servants that have just 1 car or more, but have multiple sources of income- which means that they have businesses of their own as well.
>>>politicians that have streams of income through excessive investments.
>>>graduates that have businesses of their own, even if the business generates N5,000 income daily.
>>>CEOs that respect and value their staff- they are wise because they know that their staff are their sources of income. Your business is just an office which cannot operate itself until your staff assume or resume duty.
