Career › Re: I Need A HR Personnel To Suggest A Title For My CV. by GreatManBee: 11:07pm On Oct 23, 2015 |
Bros you're a bundle of talents. Naturallyme: I think i need the guardian of an HR personnel here. I titled my CV as a "Mechanical Engineer" but i have not been getting interview invites these days even as am qualified for most jobs advertised.
This is my career path summarized here.
1) At the completion of my National Diploma in mechanical engineering technology (Best Student of my set), I couldn’t get a placement for Industrial training, I joined a roadside mechanic in quest for knowledge. I spent 1 year in repair, maintenance and reconditioning of automotive engines. It was an eye opener for me. Thereafter I took a teaching job while I was looking for admissions. ( Automotive Technology Experience – Gasoline Engines) 2) I got admission into another polytechnic for HND while I was applying for Direct entry into universities. I spent 6 months at HND studying HND mechanical engineering technology -PLANT option ( Power Plant and construction equipment Knowledge) 3) Gained admission to the best university in Nigeria (Mechanical Engineering -200level). My CGPA at 400 level was 4.15/5.00. I couldn’t get a good placement for SIWES, I joined an haulage company as Auto technician of Heavy duty Trucks ( Diesel Mechanic) out of humility ( It takes humility to learn). The workshop was dominated by collection of road side diesel mechanics. It was not easy for those folks to transfer knowledge so I borrowed two Diesel Mechanics textbooks from our library in other to complement what I gained during the period, and gradually I was compiling my SIWES report. I spent 6 months and went back to school. I had 5.00/5.00 that semester. My report became a reference for diesel mechanics till today. My CGPA skyrocketed. (Automotive Technology Experience – Diesel Engines) 4) At 500Level, I opted for Production Engineering Option. Developed knowledge of Production management, Machining, Manufacturing e.t.c. Seminal Topic was “Development of Quick Stop Mechanism for Lathe Machine”. ( Production Engineering Knowledge) 5) During NYSC, I served at a Multinational Beverage company (1 year), It was an eye opener for me in the field of bottling technology, I groomed myself in that area. I read all the books and company’s SOPs I could get on bottling technology, maintenance & maintenance management ( Bottling Machines and packaging equipment )and Utility equipment (Pumps, compressors, boilers e.t.c) ( Bottling Technology and maintenance management Knowledge) 6) After NYSC I joined a Multinational Beverage company ( Beer), As maintenance Technician. I gained so much knowledge in maintenance management (Actual maintenance, planning , scheduling and execution). I spent 2 years. ( Maintenance & Maintenance Management Experience) 7) Ref. No. 6, During this time, I was running my MSC in Industrial Engineering at one of the best Universities in Nigeria ( full time because I was doing a shift work).Where I was working triggered my interest in that course. (Operations and Industrial Management Knowledge)
My cross over to an Oil and Gas engineering services provider (EPCI company). I Started as a Design Engineer – Subsea Structures , Hence knowledge of Design Engineering and familiarization with international codes and standards ( men, they are numerous ASTM , ASME, API, BS, DNV, ISO). I read all books I could lay my hand on to understand oil and gas generally in other to deliver on this job. I have delivered on about 3 subsea projects ( Shallow and deepwater) and developed expertise in using some FEA and CAD softwares. (Engineering Design Experience) 9) I was in an EPCI company now so, after Design is Fabrication and Construction, I joined the construction team as a Project Engineer , it was my first time and I quickly needed to blend with the experienced Italian and Indian guys I was teaming with. So I began to search books online and offline, in three months I got what I needed and started delivering like I was experienced ( Welding Engineering , Engineering drawing, Engineering Materials and Specifications, Fabrication and Construction Management, Project management e.t.c). I enjoyed it and was grateful for the opportunity. It lasted for 2 years (Fabrication and Construction Experience in oil and Gas). 10) Since last year now, I have not been doing any productive work, though anticipating a project might come soon, but I decided to revisit my CV and start Job looking for opportunities.
So far I have the knowledge and experience of the following: 1) Automotive Technology Experience – Gasoline Engines 2) Power Plant and construction equipment Knowledge 3) Automotive Technology Experience – Diesel Engines 4) Production Engineering Knowledge 5) Bottling Technology and maintenance management Knowledge 6) Maintenance & Maintenance Management Experience 7) Operations and Industrial Management Knowledge
Oil and gas and Engineering Design Experience 9) Fabrication and Construction Experience in oil and Gas |

Seriously, what is wrong with us? I don't understand. davies123: What is wrong with Nigerian youths?
There is something fundamentally wrong with the Nigerian youth
Why do Nigerian youths fail to put ethnic, religious, and every other affiliation sentiments aside and fight and defend their future!?
Can’t we think?
How long will the political class divide and rule us?
Can’t we see what they are doing?
PDP = APC = Political class
They are the same people. They cross from one to the other for their selfish reasons while we fight and abuse one another on social media they are looting us dry!
What is wrong with the Nigerian youth?
In 1989 the chinese youths and studenst went on hunger strike and they where without food for days demanding policy changes that will make their lives better - and today China is a first world country and the biggest beneficiary are the youths
What is wrong with us!?
Next month, November the electricity charges will be hiked by 40% and we are online throwing tantrums at one another
While South African youths are out protest the proposed school fees hike as I speak!
Is it a wonder that they are making progress and moving towards being a first world

Christianity Etc › Re: When Prayer Is Hard: 10 Bible Verses To Help You Talk To God by GreatManBee: 7:35pm On Oct 18, 2015 |
iliyande: Christians pray, but we don't always feel we're very good at it.
Christians pray – it's what we do. But sometimes we don't feel like it, sometimes we wonder what it's achieving, and sometimes we just don't know how.
Here is a framework for prayer based on the word ACTS:
Adoration: begin by remembering who God is and praising him for his creation and redemption.
Confession: admit that you are not the person you ought to be and bring to mind the things that you've done wrong. Say you're sorry.
Thanksgiving: spend time thinking about the good things in your life and thank God for them. Count your blessings.
Supplication: last of all, ask God for things. We may not understand how prayer 'works', but we can still believe God hears us when we pray.
We can learn a lot about prayer from seeing how people prayed in the Bible. When we do that we see that they didn't always find it easy either and that they probably had many of the same questions and frustrations that we do.
So here are 10 verses to encourage us as we think about prayer (all NIV).
1. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4: 6-7)
2. When you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words (Matthew 6:7).
3. When you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind (James 1:6).
4. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16).
5. When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place (Psalm 118:5).
6. I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44).
7. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans (Romans 8:26).
8. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth (Psalm 145:18).
9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
10. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Business › Re: Kolanut Business: You can be a Millionaire within 6 months by GreatManBee: 11:45am On Oct 17, 2015 |
justbix: Sequel to my last post on Kolanut Business, this mornin, I will be sharing with you my success story. This, I believe will spur some people on. Yea, some people, because not everyone that sees this thread would decide to take immediate action on how to start running the business. However, before I go further with my story, I would like apologise for my absence here given the fact that some people have indicated interest. The fault is naturally not mine as I am a very busy person. Friends, there is a huge economic potential in the Kolanut Business this is because the niche is not saturated yet, the product is readily, and finally there's an already made market for the product both locally and internationally. Kolanut business is one that you can start with as little as 10,000 and make almost 200% of your investment. I cut my teeth in the kolanut business last September after I had atteneded a seminar in Lagos. The teachings at this seminar was not indept as I was not told some very salient information that would make me launch myself into the business properly, but the seminar was an eye opener for me. However, after the seminar, I took some steps: going physically to those places in Nigeria where the product is "dirt cheap," and sorting local and inteornational buyers of the product. These are the steps I took that turned my life around. In my case, I tested the trade with 15,000, surprisingly, I made over 150% profit. Friends, this is how I launched myself in the business. The most fascinating thing about this business is that: there is almost no risk involve. The product is readily available and the buyers, there's no quantity of Kolanut that is enough for them. This is why I would need you guys to come on board. This is the way it will run: I would make myself available to tutor just 20 people, then they can pass on the knowledge to others. In this tutorial and guide that I would make available to these 20 people, you will find the locations where you can get the product at almost a giveaway price and where you can immediately sell your wares without any hassle in Nigeria, the contacts of the companies that I have supplied this product to locally and internationally, and how you can market the product to international buyers via the internet. If you are interested, you can reach me through my email address and my BBM PIN (check my signature).
I will be waiting for u. God bless you. |

Career › Re: How Much Should A Warehouse Manager Get Paid As Salary? by GreatManBee: 11:12pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
Keneking: Ok
- His salary should be scaled like any other functional head/ department eg. sales, accounts, production etc
- is there an appraisal or review period in his employ?
- how did he secure the job in the first place? Was he picked from the street or through competitive system. Who interviewed him? Male or female?
- what are his experiences (work and academic)?
- he can make money with the logistics of the company depending on his level of authorisation?
- a stock value of N20mil per month is nothing compared to warehouses of most beverage, IT, construction companies etc. I presume this is a puff-puff or bottled water warehouse.
-he has a choice to quit as we have a new government that would create sustainable jobs.

Business › Re: How To Write A Business Plan by GreatManBee: 2:20pm On Oct 13, 2015 |
Merlissa: What is a business plan?
A business plan is a written description of your business's future, a document that tells what you plan to do and how you plan to do it. If you jot down a paragraph on the back of an envelope describing your business strategy, you've written a plan, or at least the germ of a plan.
Now that you understand why you need a business plan and you've spent some time doing your homework gathering the information you need to create one, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get everything down on paper. The following pages will describe in detail the seven essential sections of a business plan: what you should include, what you shouldn't include, how to work the numbers and additional resources you can turn to for help. With that in mind, jump right in.
Executive Summary Within the overall outline of the business plan, the executive summary will follow the title page. The summary should tell the reader what you want. This is very important. All too often, what the business owner desires is buried on page eight. Clearly state what you're asking for in the summary.
Business Description The business description usually begins with a short description of the industry. When describing the industry, discuss the present outlook as well as future possibilities. You should also provide information on all the various markets within the industry, including any new products or developments that will benefit or adversely affect your business.
Market Strategies Market strategies are the result of a meticulous market analysis. A market analysis forces the entrepreneur to become familiar with all aspects of the market so that the target market can be defined and the company can be positioned in order to garner its share of sales.
Competitive Analysis The purpose of the competitive analysis is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the competitors within your market, strategies that will provide you with a distinct advantage, the barriers that can be developed in order to prevent competition from entering your market, and any weaknesses that can be exploited within the product development cycle.
Design & Development Plan The purpose of the design and development plan section is to provide investors with a description of the product's design, chart its development within the context of production, marketing and the company itself, and create a development budget that will enable the company to reach its goals.
Operations & Management Plan The operations and management plan is designed to describe just how the business functions on a continuing basis. The operations plan will highlight the logistics of the organization such as the various responsibilities of the management team, the tasks assigned to each division within the company, and capital and expense requirements related to the operations of the business.
Financial Factors Financial data is always at the back of the business plan, but that doesn't mean it's any less important than up-front material such as the business concept and the management team.

Politics › Re: EFCC Chairman Lamorde Sues The Sun Newspaper For N1billion by GreatManBee: 10:02pm On Oct 12, 2015 |
metroparrot: Below is a statement of claim from Festus Keyamo Chambers. Read below..
1. The Plaintiff is a Commissioner of Police and currently the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The Plaintiff has had a distinguished career having joined the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as the pioneer Director of Operations in 2003 and by dint of hard work and integrity rose to be the Chairman of the anti-graft agency.
2. The Defendant is the Proprietor and Publisher of a popular Newspaper called Daily Sun which enjoys wide circulation and readership in Nigeria and abroad. 3. The Plaintiff avers that as a function of his position, he is at the forefront of the fight against corruption in Nigeria and he has successfully investigated and prosecuted several corrupt individuals in Nigeria. 4. The Plaintiff further avers that as a result of his exceptional career, he has received several awards and commendations from organizations across the world and is recognized by international organizations as a leading light on Nigeria’s fight against corruption. 5. The Plaintiff further avers that in its Daily Sun Newspaper of Thursday, 8th October, 2015, the Defendant falsely and maliciously caused to be printed and published the following words of and concerning the Plaintiff: “N1TRN LOOTED FUNDS LAMORDE, EFCC BOSS, IN SOUP” 6. The Plaintiff further avers that at page 6 of its Daily Sun Newspaper of Thursday, 8th October, 2015, the Defendant falsely and maliciously caused to be printed and published the following words of and concerning the Plaintiff as an elaboration of the above stated headline: “CHAIRMAN of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde, is presently being investigated over allegations of diversion of over N1 trillion from the sale of confiscated properties belonging to convicted public officials including former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyesiegha and former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun, among many others. Daily Sun gathered that the Presidency's searchlight had actually been on the EFCC following complaints and reports that EFCC operatives were notoriously letting some financial crimes suspects off the hook rather than prosecute them. The decision to launch a full-scale investigation, however, started after one George Uboh appeared before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on August 23 where he alleged that Lamorde dipped his hands into the said funds. It was gathered that after his appearance at the Senate, the Presidency picked interest in the matter and directed the Office of the National Special Adviser (NSA) to commence investigations into the allegations. A National Assembly source said thereafter, the NSA, Major General Babagana Monguno (retd) reportedly swung into action. "Series of complaints against Lamorde is his perceived slack supervision of his operatives. There have been series of allegations that operatives collect bribe from suspects and let them off the hook rather than investigate allegations thoroughly. "This investigation is not a witch-hunt...It is meant to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they are no mere allegations but, they are weighty enough to warrant presidential scrutiny." In his petition to the Senate, Uboh said the fraud allegedly perpetrated by Larmode dated back to his days as the Director of Operations of the EFCC between 2003 and 2007, as well as an acting Chairman of the commission between June 2007 and May 2008, when the then chairman of the anti-graft agency, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu, was away for a course at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos. Uboh, Chief Executive Officer of Panic Alert Security Systems, a security firm, in his petition dated July 31 accused Lamorde of some specific instances of under-remittance and non-disclosure of proceeds of corruption recovered from criminal suspects, including Balogun and Alamieyeseigha. He assured the Senate that he would produce "overwhelming evidence" to back his claims against Lamorde. Uboh also alleged that the EFCC had not accounted for "offshore recoveries" and that "over hall of the assets seized from suspects are not reflected in EFCC exhibit records." The petitioner equally accused Lamorde of conspiring with some EFCC officers and external auditors ''to operate and conceal a recovery account in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and excluded the balances from your audited financial statements between 2005 and 2011." "Lamorde continues to conceal the details of the unsold properties forfeited by both Tafa Balogun and DSP Alamieyeseigha despite receiving rent revenues from some estate agents on the said properties," he further alleged.” 7. The said words in their natural and ordinary meaning (by direct reference and innuendos) meant and were understood to mean that: (a) The Plaintiff is a fraudulent and corrupt civil servant who engages in diversion of monies belonging to the government. (b) The Plaintiff is a bad and corrupt leader who encourages his Operatives to collect bribes from suspects. (c) The Plaintiff is a hypocrite whose fraudulent activities date back to 2003 when he was Director of Operations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. 8. The Plaintiff avers that the libelous publication by the Defendant was widely circulated and read by millions of people in the world and particularly in Nigeria where the Plaintiff has several associates, friends, family and professional colleagues. 9. The Plaintiff avers that by reason of the publication of the words set out in paragraphs 5 and 6 above and their import set out in paragraph 7, the Plaintiff has been seriously injured in his character, credit, reputation and integrity and had been brought to public scandal, odium and contempt and has suffered damage. 10. The Plaintiff further avers that immediately after the publication was released, he received numerous telephone calls from professional colleagues, international donor agencies, multinational organisations, relations, friends and religious leaders expressing their utmost disgust and contempt at the Plaintiff’s alleged disgraceful, unpatriotic and sacrilegious conducts and questioned the integrity of the Plaintiff. 11. The Plaintiff avers that the spurious allegations made by the Defendant are untrue and actuated by malice with intent to malign and undermine the Plaintiff’s reputation. PARTICULARS OF MALICE (a) The allegations in the publication are false and untrue. (b) The Defendants did not conduct any investigation into the truth of the allegations before publishing them. (c) The Defendant did not offer the Plaintiff any opportunity to respond to the allegations before publishing them. (d) By publishing the allegations in a sensational screaming headline, the Defendant evinced the intention to malign the Plaintiff and drag his reputation in the mud. 12. The Plaintiff avers that he has suffered tremendous damage to his reputation and if the Defendant is not restrained, it will further publish injurious articles against the Plaintiff. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff claims against the Defendant as follows: 1. The sum of N1,000,000,000.00 (One Billion Naira) only being damages for the words published of and concerning the Plaintiff which are libelous by direct reference and innuendo contained at the front page and page 6 of the Daily Sun of 8th October, 2015 titled ‘N1TRN LOOTED FUNDS: LAMORDE, EFCC BOSS, IN SOUP’ and further elaborated upon at page 6 of the said publication. 2. A retraction and an unreserved apology by the Defendants for the words published of and concerning the Plaintiff which are libelous and contained at the front page and page 6 of the Daily Sun of 8th October, 2015 titled ‘N1TRN LOOTED FUNDS: LAMORDE, EFCC BOSS, IN SOUP’ and further elaborated upon at page 6 of the said publication and to be published with the same bold print and on the same front page as the headline complained of. 3. AN ORDER OF PERPETUAL INJUNCTION restraining the Defendant whether by itself, its agents, privies or servants from further publishing or causing to be published any libelous, injurious or defamatory words against the Plaintiff. 4. FOR SUCH FURTHER ORDER OR OTHER ORDERS as this Honourable court may deem fit to make in the circumstances of this case. Dated 12th day of October, 2015. FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ., ü FESTUS UKPE, ESQ., FESTUS KEYAMO CHAMBERS. 13, NOUAKCHOTT STREET, NEAR KEYSTONE BANK WUSE ZONE 1, ABUJA. 08033371229, 08055028515.

Education › Re: How I Landed A World Scholarship With A 3.8 C.G.P.A by GreatManBee: 3:59pm On Oct 12, 2015 |
Seunbunmi: ''When you make a choice, you change the future.” Deepak Chopra
I want to share how I landed a world scholarship (European Union sponsored Erasmus Mundus Masters Programme) with a 3.8 C.G.P.A. Surprised, right? Hey, anything is possible! Just to note this, if you can finish with a higher C.G.P.A, please give it your best.
In 2012, after graduating from the University of Lagos, Department of Political Science, I had the dream of going abroad for my Masters degree programme and I had ¨not so excellent C.G.P.A¨. I wanted a full scholarship. Sincerely, at that period it was really a big dream, I also had little or no work experience. But the next two years I put in a conscious effort to make this dream a reality. I don't intend to bore you with some principles or strategies for success. The truth is that life is made up of principles and you make things happen easily when you know and rightly apply the principles.
The following are principles and strategies I knew and applied, with practical experience:
Vision: In 2012, I had a goal to get an international degree and exposure, to enable solve some of the problems facing the world. This was a good cause and motivation for me to begin my grad school application adventure. It is good, you discover who you are, what you want and where you are going. There were several times I got discouraged of the possibility of getting funded for my grad school abroad. But the vision I had kept me going. Vision also helped me answer the question of purpose, why I needed to get a fully funded Master's degree abroad? which may come to play when writing your Statement of Purpose or Motivation Letter.
Research: After the vision stage, it is research! Information is key, if you are not well-informed, you may be incapacitated. You need to search for schools, scholarships and your compatibility for your intended programme. I practically read everything I found on the internet on grad school application and getting a scholarship. I recommend you to read articles on grad school application written by Mr. Tunde Alawode, he is currently a PhD student at MIT. His articles were the most helpful to me and I also had the privilege of having some online conversations with him which were priceless to my grad school application.
It was in the course of my research I discovered the European Commission, Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship. I remembered my first impression was ah! this scholarship is perfect and in line with my vision, #grins! I also got contacts of Erasmus Scholars, they gave necessary advice and counsel related to applying and getting an Erasmus Masters Scholarship. This helped me greatly in preparing a good application. Doing a thorough research, will help you in preparing a strong application. Pour your heart into it!
Service & Learning: During the 2 years of preparing for my grad school, I volunteered in various projects, learnt on a job (which had little financial gratification), became an author, started an NGO etc, all these to an extent gave me a convincing CV.
Offer services and give yourself to personal development. Do not just think about putting up a grad school application and fold your arms. Get busy and engage yourself! I tell people who come to me on grad school application that you should show the admission committee what you have been able to do with the education you have acquired so far.
Maximise every opportunity that comes your way. Be diligent and committed to whatever you do, this is important!
Have Faith and Pray: Every good thing comes from God, so you need God. I prayed, confessed, fasted, believed and sow seeds. And yay! Today I have a testimony.
¨All I know is that when I pray, coincidences happen; and when I don’t pray, they don’t happen¨. ~ Dan Hayes
Wishing you all the best in your grad school application!

Agriculture › Re: How To Start Your Own Fish Farm by GreatManBee: 9:44am On Oct 09, 2015 |
myjobsfinder: A fish farm or fish based business could easily generate a good amount of money.
Even if you are not a traditional fish farmer, you could easily make a steady income from your home, using aquaculture fish farming techniques.
Fish is increasingly becoming more popular as a source of protein, and it could easily feed a small family with little cost or overheads.
There are also other benefits of fish farming.
Starting your own business
Starting any kind of business needs knowledge and experience in the related field. If you are new to the fishing business, it might be a good idea to start small and gather experience as you progress.
Managing a business requires many of the administrative skills, be it fish farming or any other business. It also means that you will not have a boss to give you directions and you will have to make decisions on your own, or with your partners.
Your first step - gain knowledge
To start your own in the aquaculture fish industry, you must first learn all about fish farming. Learning about fish farms will prepare you to make educated decisions.
Visit some of the fish farms in your locality or meet with people just like you who have entered the fish industry. The internet is vast source of knowledge.
Consider signing up for classes visit webinars and such, if you can, to gather more information about the business.
Every business has its own challenges, and you should do whatever it takes to gain firsthand knowledge about the business.
Taking a part time job at local fishery might also give you hands on experience.
Set your goals
Setting your goals before you start your business is very important at the beginning of your venture.
You should know exactly what you are going to produce, in what amounts, how many people you will need, how much money you will spend, and how much profit you can expect from your business.
This would be the first step for you towards making a business plan. Preparing a business plan will allow you to incorporate your business, get necessary government documents or licensing.
You will also need a business plan to get funding from a bank or get investors.
Analyze your market
Once you know what your options are and how much money you need, the next step should be analyzing your target market.
Who are your buyers? What type of fish is most profitable? How much can you supply? Have you contacted anyone for your special needs or in case an emergency arises? Have you considered all expenses associated with your business?
You need to think all these through.
Setup your business
Since you want to start small, you can setup a fishing pond right in your backyard. It is also possible to raise fish in a fish tank in your garage or indoors.
You can easily get all the supplies you need to set up your small fish farm and start fish farming. If you have buyers ready or know that you can easily sell your fish, make your fishing pond or tank big enough to make enough production.
Buy your supplies at wholesale prices. You can find wholesale fish supply stores online as well.
Fish farming - Building sustainable fish farm in your backyard
If you have decided to operate from home, you could designate a place in your backyard for a pond. You could easily dig a pond, and put fish in it.
You may have to process your water to make it suitable for young fish. You can buy small bags of fish from hatchery near you.
Make them you feed your fish with appropriate proper diet and take care of your pond or fish tank.
Harvest your fish and enjoy!!!

My Prayer For You
If you're currently reading this, I believe you're a messenger; and you need to know that. You were designed with an end in mind so you should discover it and fulfil it.
The spotlight is on you now. May your life never lack a sense of purpose. You’ll never drift through life again. You’ll go from wandering aimlessly to possessing your future. You will own it.
You shall experience a quantum leap - a radical ascent of grace, shooting you up into new realms of life, not traceable to your natural ability.
You shall experience unpredicted emergence; a show up on the scene supernaturally, like the Wind, and taking your space by storm!
You shall experience a mighty rescue from habits stronger than you, plus the licence for a future better than your past.
God will take over your life and you will become a different person by grace. Your soul will be emptied of pain, and the curtains will lift for new light.
Grace to you. Grace to me too. |
