For those groaning and waiting for life partners, we wait now for our whole being to be free even as the Spirit pleads with God for us in groans that cannot be expressed in words.
Are you waiting for a life partner\spouse or child or job or admission or promotion or approval or test results? Are you waiting? Know this:
Romans 8:18, 25 ... what we suffer at those present time cannot be compared at all with the glory that is going to be revealed to us. But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Since we are His children, we will possess the blessings He keeps for His people, and we will also possess with Christ what God has kept for Him, for if we share Christ’s suffering, we will also share His glory (Romans 8:17)
God be with you

Hi
I saw this on a friend's FB page and I decided to share it here, maybe we can ponder and reason together.
I think it is a great issue that although there are many people who profess and confess Christianity and Christ but have their hearts far from him, so much so that very few people get led to Jesus by our 'witnessing' in lifestyles not our words. it is kinda embarrassing and sad that we have so many pastors, Christians, churches and ministries (tract, TV, gospel musicians, gospel movies, etc) and yet evil prevails and many are still without Jesus! these remaining ones who are not believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour are not the ones who perpetuate these evils majorly. its still done by 'christians' or people who profess fear of God in other faiths! na wa oh!
i'm starting with myself, let my life bear witness of God's mercy, grace and way,truth&life.
here is the FB message

"Christians are to enjoy life and enjoy one another. When children see no joy in their home, no joy in your Christianity, they will not be attracted by it. When they see you excited about going to a club, party, shopping malls, cinema, fast food, or watching television, and then dragging around to do spiritual things- like prayers, praising and bible study, they will soon get the idea that Christianity does not mean much to you. Your attitude will rub off.

My wife says that the best way to get a child to eat his food, vegetables and fruits is to see his parents enjoying theirs. Our children will not be attracted to Christ if we make Him seem dull. - BG!!"

Why does 's.ex' sell
many people readily click on topics that border on sex
people are quick to buy printed materials (books, magazines, etc) about sex
friends talk excitedly wen it is about sex
music intrigues people wen d lyrics re sexual
even cartoons, series, sit-coms, movies, documentaries, etc wen sex is mentioned it gets many people's attention.
yes not everyone but many people old n young, married or unmarried, Christian or unChristian, rich or poor
clergy or lay faithfuls, educated or uneducated!
what is it really?
America generally (i guess out of its stance on liberality and free-ness not freedom) popularized sex over and above many countries in their government, adverts, streets, religion and policies. since many countries like to take ques from them, this sex craze seems to be spreading like wild fire.
sex is good in itself but it has been corrupted. people say what is good n original is often corrupted like medicine, law, fashion, money, friendships and all.
sex is trully beautiful and good wen done in a marriage union between a man and woman.
sex outside of this is corrupt and misused
sex is a private matter like the colour of a guy's boxers or the bra size of a lady
it is not the business of the public
sex can b taught in schools for educational purposes
discussed between a Dr n d patient
talked about between parents n children, spouses, counselors and all
but wen sex is brought up in a song or cartoon or Frontpage and social media
it brings a sacred issue to the open for irrelevant comments n third parties
if sex tingles or excites you, it is a problem
if it doesn't, it doesn't mean u'r frigid, a eunuch or bloodless, it means u respect the sanctity of marriage, the act of sex and the people involved.
why should i care about how Mr. A n Miss have sex or how Alhaji C n Hajia D do it
why shld i care what a musician thinks abt it from Tonto Dike to 50 cents to P2 to Beyonce to Olamide to R.Kelly to Marvin Gay to even salt n pepper? why share d thought
there re so many things we could share in life- fun stories, issues, challenges, tragedies, jokes, politics, sports, health rather than telling others about your sexapades, fantasies or 49 shades or porn flicks!
please consider-
Likewise urge the younger men to control themselves. Show yourself in all respects a model of good deeds, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity,
and sound speech that cannot be censured, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer every one.
For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD, keep watch over the door of my lips!
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
"Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind? Should he argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which he can do no good?
God bless us all

when u think of certain regions and ascribe only lowly things to them it shows hate, bigotry and deceit.
when ur mind goes to the North you think of cattle, forgetting they have highly educated people.
when u talk of the East u say they like money and piracy and fake products but u forget they have intellectuals, and pious, religious men.
when u mention South you ascribe them to fishing and oil bunkering and environmental polution but you forget they have produced highest government officials and sports and highest university persons.
when u talk of the West do u talk of cocoa farmers? u talk of professors and media celebrities.
let's learn to celebrate all of Nigeria, remember when foreigners talk abt us they often view us as poor and backward bt we knw d true picture.
i am privileged to have travelled and lived in the North, South, East and West and even midddle belt of Nigeria and i tel u, no side has d monopoly of good or bad, they exist evry where n we must celebrate good and starve d bad.
if all u see is cattle rearer and a fisherman's son in d op's 1st pic then u see only d bars of the window ignoring d beautiful setting sun outside.
God bless Nigeria.

Education can be free or not free
Awolowo gave\facilitated free education and it was qualitative, people did not abuse the privilege of free education. they were taught well and learnt well.
Donor agencies, government give scholarships and enable people go to school free, this doesn't make the learning or teaching sub-standard

Go to many private universities and even secondary schools were they pay alot of money, many of the students toy with it and are generally unserious having poor grades.
Many people have paid normal fees in schools and have gone out into the society unable to write or speak properly.

Therefore, whether school is free or not does not determine its value. Who would value education will value it.

It is often said that some of the best things of life are free such as air, life, true love, family and friends, good jobs, water, sunlight, rain, quietness, peace, ability to sleep naturally, and so on.

In as much as i have never personally evaluated the educational standard in Imo State, if the man is giving free education, all well and good. This is what many politicians say in their manifestos and fail to deliver upon victory. Prayer is that it would last and be sustainable.

Whatever went wrong with the free education in the Western part of Nigeria. Also many states in the North also provide free tuition, feeding, uniforms and books to primary and secondary school students; and some give stipends to their polytechnic and Colleges of whatever (education or agriculture) students.

Nigeria go better, Africa go better, my people go better oh, Nigeria go better.

God bless

people we should use our opportunities to better the society and promote where we are coming from (Nigeria). instead of booking space with alphabets n d likes let's drop a comment or commendation.

What we can do with this information is to celebrate the man, university and country at large.
Also it serves as an inspiration to others that one day too they could be selected from many to speak at an Internationally acclaimed university and top Ivy league university such as Harvard.
People no be beans to do that.
kudos to all my fed unis n state unis n private unis i celebrate wt u all.

Prof. i duff my hat, we see you
God bless Nigeria and us all, amen.

But we should keep at it, becomes some times no pains no gains.

PS: i know say na business, but please let us be careful with what we take in order to avoid adverse side-effects, be them orthodox or traditional or Far-Eastern (Asian countries like China or India) drugs, herbals or supplements.

Be inspired, motivated and encouraged

Prevent yourself & your spouse from diabetes. A couple that have been married for 20yrs were recently diagnosed with diabetes.

Start calling ur spouse names like yoyobitter, bitterkola,dogoyaro, bitterleaf, bitterlemon, alabukun, oroki, epa ijebu, pakurumo e.t.c........ Don't laugh alone share with friends
Happy new month. May this month be a month of laughter for you. Amen.

just like there was a call for government officials to have their children go to Nigerian public schools so should they use public hospitals. i have not heard of leaders of great countries run to other countries for medical issues. it can even lead to a breach of security and lack of regard. and they want foreigners to come and invest? how have they themselves invested in Nigeria? health-wise, education-wise, industry -wise?
it is alright!

In God we trust. Dear lovers of peace, upholders of justice and people who love, the soldiers are doing their job, so don't worry, it is well; isn't it? it is!

Dear bank accounts owners do not worry... all is well

it is well... one day for the thief, the rest for the owner, amen? amen!

Reflecting on Isaiah 40:6, I’ll say that humans have the same life expectancy as grass! When the flowers and grasses see the wind coming they know anything can happen. They do what they can while they stand. But we humans hardly count our days. We often have ‘bigger than life’ mentality that ‘nothing dey happen’ but in reality anything can happen at any time. So let us be wise and number our days that we may live right.
- TLF
My God both the killed and the killer would face judgment and both would live in the memories of those they leave behind.
May his soul rest in peace

to hate is a unhealthy

Have a good day

in as much as many may not belong to indomie generation, many have evolved into it. up till now indomie is not a meal in my family house. nut on my own, i see it as fast and light food. but recently i try as much as possible to add egg or sardine! plus carrot, green beans and cabbage! these are not cheap or easily accessible depending where you are, but your health is your wealth. if we cannot invest in good and healthy meals then why do we work for a 'living'?
have a good work week
PS: SON, NAFDAC and other bodies in charge of food regulations and the national Assembly should do something about this 'imported' food. cancer is not good.
God bless us, amen

greedy and gullible people easily fall into scam but also desperate, ignorant and yeah honest people too! why? because they feel others are honest like they are; they think for it to be on the internet it is public so can be verified; they want easy and quick services cause they are in a hurry to get their purchase or impatient to follow due process.

Bottom line:
trust your guts
be sensitive to what your spirit is telling you (what we often call 'mind')
and most importantly trust in and pray to God Almighty, He will never leave you nor forsake you, try Him, try Him.

Meanwhile,
Happy new work week
may your days be blessed in Jesus name, amen.

Do you know this love we are talking about?
Jesus loves me as I am: scared, twisted and often broken.
Jesus' love allows me pull aside the shutters and let in a new day.

i believe God is interested in our marital life. if you say he who finds a wife means it is the man and not God that chooses a life partner, i'd remind you that as many as re led by the Spirit of God and God is Alpha and Omega so He already knows our future and who we re to be with and who we going to be with!

Mom came to visit her son Okonkwo for dinner. He lives with a female roommate Ada. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Okonkwo's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Okonkwo and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Okonkwo volunteered, “I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Ada and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Ada came to Okonkwo saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the small bag of Garri. You don't suppose she took it, do you?” “Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure" said, Okonkwo. So he sat down and wrote:
Dear
Mother,
I'm not saying that you did take the bag of Garri from my house, and I'm not saying that you did not take it either. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Do you know what became of the Garri?
Love,
Okonkwo.
Several days later, Okonkwo received an email from his Mother, which read:
My dear
Son,
I'm not saying that you do sleep with Ada, and I'm not saying that you do not sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she had been sleeping on her OWN bed, she would have
found the bag of Garri under her pillow by now. Do you know
where she has been sleeping?
Love,
Mum.
Moral of the
Story... Don’t tell lie to an elderly woman...especially if she is...African!!!

no be write the story oh, true i no know the source, but common sense and tact is worth sharing!

i dont know what this man did but there is no reason in any sane society that a man should be treated like this by law enforcement officers. even if they reported that car stolen, i tell u that man is innocent until proven guilty. sadly when those police pple close frm work they go wear mufti blend in2 society lik u n i n even bgin 2 dey curse police!

Some Students where given this scenario in 2008 wey back in NLS Abuja and promised a gift, many people got it so let us see if you would, but i no promise any gift oh!
Imagine this...
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's
raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see
three people waiting for a bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that
there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading...
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of
a job application.
You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and
thus you should save her first;
or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life,
and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.
However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?
He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and
let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait
for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
So what was yours?
