I'd rather keep dreaming till Jesus Christ comes... End time post though ! |
The best is to know thyself... Speak it if you can... Don't mind others... The Bible made it known that speaking in tongues is for body edification... In fact, those who you claim to speaking it doesn't carry the fire in the tongues.... Bless you |
When we say The Word of God, it's not just that the authors of the books write from mere understanding... They are simply connected with the source of knowledge.. Moses wrote the first five books based on the touch and inspiration of the Holy Spirit and this brought about the whole science of a thing... Hit like if you are a proud committed Christian... Share if you aren't a believer in Christ yet so that your peeps will help you out to believe in Christ... |
See, Donald Trump is a big bully and not even meant to be a leader.. I was reading on twitter some while ago about his big words of abuse used against Ben and it's unusual of a leader that'll lead a nation like the United States and any other nations... I'm giving it for @Realbencarson... What suprised me most about Ben is the way he responded "pray for him".. Absolutely what we want.. Leaders with good characters such as the ex-president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan |
Apparently the OP is a novice to the photoshop world or apparently didn't get some facts right about MJ cause he's damn dead... |
Cool.. With these jerseys, I can assure that the next world cup is ours !!!. Just as "many Nigerians believe that the power of success lies in your swag dresses and not your class dresses.." - MerzyBEN |
C'mon.. These are scary.. Are you sure they are real ![]() |
AlfaSeltzer:The same book will soon be the one you'll be carrying about when you become a pastor. I speak into your life with FAITH.. |
AlfaSeltzer:JESUS is Lord !!!. No GOOD BELIEVER will ever utter this statement.. And that's why JESUS is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE (john 14:6).. We don't believe in violence like you do !!!. Believers in the #Faithhood, hit like if you agree.. Un-believers can share if they wish.. BTW, I prophecy divine HEALING of the MIND from the bondage of mediocrity !!! |
cramjones:Things happen in God's way that ordinary people believe it's an unnecessary stuff.. Do you know that The Bible says in the Book of Psalms that " pray for the peace of Jerusalem and it shall be well with you.".. The campaign going on in the Xtian world now is about Helping the Israelites concerning their issues.. If you are a lover of Daystar TV network on Dstv, you'll understand what I meant.. The Holy Spirit is for those who are only Spiritual !!!. The Holy Spirit controls all of your feelings and your mind and heart.. When the Spirit directs, You just have to follow !!!. If you are not a believer of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, It doesn't mean you should oppose what's going on in there !!!!!!!!. Kudos to Pastor E.A. |
Thanks peepz.. |
We all make mistakes but the people who thrive from their mistakes are the successful ones. Dr. Henry Cloud “Never go back.” What does that mean? From observations of successful people, clinical psychologist and author of Never Go Back: 10 Things You'll Never Do Again (Howard Books, June 2014), Dr. Henry Cloud has discovered certain “awakenings” that people have—in life and in business—that once they have them, they never go back to the old way of doing things. And when that happens, they are never the same. In short, they got it. “Years ago, a bad business decision of mine led to an interesting discussion with my mentor,” Dr. Cloud says. “I had learned a valuable lesson the hard way, and he reassured me: ‘The good thing is once you learn that lesson, you never go back. You never do it again.’ “I wondered, what are the key awakenings that successful people go through that forever change how they do things, which propel them to succeed in business, relationships, and life? I began to study these awakenings, researching them over the years.” Although life and business have many lessons to teach us, Dr. Cloud observed 10 “doorways” of learning that high performers go through, never to return again. Successful people never again… 1. Return to what hasn’t worked. Whether a job, or a broken relationship that was ended for a good reason, we should never go back to the same thing, expecting different results, without something being different. 2. Do anything that requires them to be someone they are not. In everything we do, we have to ask ourselves, “Why am I doing this? Am I suited for it? Does it fit me? Is it sustainable?” If the answer is no to any of these questions, you better have a very good reason to proceed. 3. Try to change another person. When you realize that you cannot force someone into doing something, you give him or her freedom and allow them to experience the consequences. In doing so, you find your own freedom as well. 4. Believe they can please everyone. Once you get that it truly is impossible to please everyone, you begin to live purposefully, trying to please the right people. 5. Choose short-term comfort over long-term benefit. Once successful people know they want something that requires a painful, time-limited step, they do not mind the painful step because it gets them to a long-term benefit. Living out this principle is one of the most fundamental differences between successful and unsuccessful people, both personally and professionally. 6. Trust someone or something that appears flawless. It’s natural for us to be drawn to things and people that appear "incredible." We love excellence and should always be looking for it. We should pursue people who are great at what they do, employees who are high performers, dates who are exceptional people, friends who have stellar character, and companies that excel. But when someone or something looks too good to be true, he, she, or it is. The world is imperfect. Period. No one and no thing is without flaw, and if they appear that way, hit pause. 7. Take their eyes off the big picture. We function better emotionally and perform better in our lives when we can see the big picture. For successful people, no one event is ever the whole story. Winners remember that – each and every day. 8. Neglect to do due diligence. No matter how good something looks on the outside, it is only by taking a deeper, diligent, and honest look that we will find out what we truly need to know: the reality that we owe ourselves. 9. Fail to ask why they are where they find themselves. One of the biggest differences between successful people and others is that in love and in life, in relationships and in business, successful people always ask themselves, what part am I playing in this situation? Said another way, they do not see themselves only as victims, even when they are. 10. Forget that their inner life determines their outer success. The good life sometimes has little to do with outside circumstances. We are happy and fulfilled mostly by who we are on the inside. Research validates that. And our internal lives largely contribute to producing many of our external circumstances. And, the converse is true: people who are still trying to find success in various areas of life can almost always point to one or more of these patterns as a reason they are repeating the same mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes…even the most successful people out there. But, what achievers do better than others is recognize the patterns that are causing those mistakes and never repeat them again. In short, they learn from pain—their own and the pain of others. A good thing to remember is this: pain is unavoidable, but repeating the same pain twice, when we could choose to learn and do something different, is certainly avoidable. I like to say, “we don’t need new ways to fail….the old ones are working just fine!” Our task, in business and in life, is to observe what they are, and never go back to doing them again.

Setaje:One thing you probably fail to understand is the concept of WINNING HABITS which voluntary work is part of is that it'll bring you closer to your dream and stay connected till God makes a way-out. It's not in the fact that money will be given to the OP by us.. But just advising Him to take one step at a time towards greatness. |
Follow your passion and dream. If U can imagine urself being crowned, U can surely be crowned. Go get what you want. Besides, even if U weren't crowned, U'll have enough idea to start up with your planned project. Hope this helped... Gonna see U at the podium with the crown. |
mpowa:I agree with U dude. The blame is on the government as well.. If african countries were to be like EU countries or any overseas country, we can all think and do something worthwhile with our live. If Bill Gates were to be an african, I hope you'll agree that if he were to be the world richest, it wouldn't have been by this time. Maybe in the following decades. It's just our environment but still yet, irrespective of where we are, opportunities are still out there to tap into !!!.. All we need is just to discover ourselves(purpose) and follow our passion. |
#xenophobia occurs due to SA locals inability to think and tap into their potential thereby causing the immigrants to enjoy the fruit of their (SA) land.. Basically, this is the same thing happening to us Nigerians as well which is making us lose our glory to the expatriate... We all see opportunities we can tap into but we locals do not want to leaving it all to the Immigrants.. #Truth.... Like if you think I'm right.. |
RockMaxi:. You should have known that they were packed to allow the movement of the vehicles and others. |
Perfect. A lady friend told me bout this. Just checked. |
Might hit FP. Military zone. Keep off !!!!!!. Oh.. This is cool. |
1stola:Must you talk ni . When there's a freedom of speech, it's not d sole authority to deprive other peoples' lifestyle now.. Leave the man alone. Let him do as he wishes. It's none of ur bizness. |
Gorgeous.. Looking forward to that great day walking down the aisle with the other half of me.. Believing in God for His accurate Will.. |
Have you ever thought that this is the move of the campaign team he might not know nothing about ?.. I'm frm ogbomosho and I know what's going on here.. Many like Akala bcoz he's an indigene of the town.. Many people are sponsoring the campaign even the ones he doesn't know nothing about. So, basically, I think it's just like an accreditation of the slang "SAI" buhari, so, using the same "SAI" for him as well. #myopinion.. |
Falling in love is not a restricted extravagance. We all can fall in love repeatedly, every single day. Falling in love is divine. It’s boundless, bewildering, irrational, transcendent and impassioned. It awakens the soul to the best parts of our existence. Falling in love is not a restricted extravagance, either. We can fall in love repeatedly and in a plethora of ways. We can wake up every day and decide to fall in love with each other, and with the life we have been given. What if we took the time to fall in love with strangers? What if we made efforts to fall back in love with the people in our lives every chance we were given? What if we fell in love with places, smells, sites, sounds, faces, tastes, memories, experiences and everyday engagements of our emotions? There are so many hands you have never shaken, and names you’ve never learned. There are so many voices your ears wouldn’t recognize, and eyes you’ve never really looked into. There are so many stories that go unheard. There are so many tears that go unseen, and healing embraces that never get the chance to perform their magic. We are faced with opportunities each day to open our hearts to every aspect of life worth falling madly in love with. I try to fall in love every day. I pick the middle seat on the plane, to get blessed with two new friends and twice as many stories. I shake hands. I ask questions. I befriend everyone from the lady at the supermarket to the couple laughing at my typically frantic sprint onto the train. I want to reach out every chance I can, regardless of the chances I take of being rejected or mocked. I find my soul warmed by the special ways that people laugh, or the unique pigment in their eyes when they really look into mine. People captivate me. Places, foods, art, music and stories can sweep me off my feet and into a state of romanticism I cannot explain. I find that through all of the articles I write, the most critical piece of advice that I can give to any person is to embrace all love. We feel alone in a world filled with so many people and experiences just waiting to steal our hearts. Disappointment and fear only gain the upper-hand when we start losing the ability to readily involve ourselves in love. That would be my most essential piece of advice, to go, my friend, and fall in love with this life. 1. Ask people the real questions. Ask about their passions, fears, hopes and dreams. 2. Introduce yourself. Be brave and vulnerable. 3. Listen to people. I mean really listen to them. 4. Help anyone you can, from strangers to your closest friends. Don’t turn away. 5. Get excited. Get excited about everything from your favorite TV show coming on to Lucky Charms being on sale at the grocery store. Rejoice in all of life’s little wins, and appreciate them for the ways they make life sweeter. 6. Visit old friends. Don’t let your friendships fade. Remember the reasons you are so thankful to have them in your life, and fight for them, like a lover would. 7. Travel to new places. Indulge yourself in the cultures. Experience everything the world has to offer, and don’t be fearful or close-minded to the opportunities set before you. 8. Put away your screens when you’re with people. If you want to spend time with someone, you should actually be there, physically and mentally. 9. Plan personal time with your friends and family. 10. Hug. Reach out your arms and wrap the people you love in them. Feel them. Embrace the connection that you have, and express that you’ll always be there to remind them of it. 11. Indulge your emotions in what you enjoy most. Scream like a crazy person at the basketball game, dance freely at the concert, and run like you never have to stop. Let go. Let yourself be charmed and delighted by your hobbies. 12. Show people your true colors. 13. Don’t try to hide who you are from anyone, and let others love you for the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, and the weak and the strong parts of who you are. 14. Express your opinions. 15. Involve your emotions in the priorities and matters of this world. You can’t fall in love with this life if you don’t care about the people in it. 16. Accept the opinions of others. Ask to hear about those opinions. Respect them. Learn from each other. 17. Wear your heart on your sleeve regardless of how terrifying it can feel to open up. 18. Appreciate the innocence of the world. Play with children and animals as readily as you can. 19. Learn from the beautiful display they have of unprecedented happiness. Fall in love with that, because it’s incredible. 20. Look into the eyes of the people you see and speak with. Show them that you are really there. 21. Take chances. Be spontaneous. Embrace the unexpected nature of love. 22. Smile. Even if some don’t smile back, others will, and you may find that the smiles shooting back at you steal your heart away. 23. Love your body. Treat it kindly and take care of it. Appreciate it for the unique vessel it is for your soul. Part of continually falling in love is being able to love yourself in your own skin. 24. Sit next to someone instead of alone. Try not to isolate yourself. 25. Be respectful, and expect it from others. Respect is a building block of mutual love. 26. Say “I love you.” Say “Thank you.” Say “I’m proud of you.” 27. Never trade opportunities for real conversation with the people that you love. 28. Exercise integrity with others. The truth is always worth falling for. 29. Say yes. 30. Give people the benefit of the doubt, even if others have let you down. Too often we avoid love because of wrongs committed by people in our pasts. Don’t let heartbreak control your ability to see the best in human beings. 31. Play games. Play outside. Have fun and let it consume you. 32. Share meals with friends and family, and also with people capable of becoming your friends and family. 33. Laugh uncontrollably whenever you want to. Laugh as much as possible. It heals the soul and unites you with others in remarkable ways. 34. Sing like a rockstar. Let music move you. 35. Surround yourself with people who encourage you and bring out the best in you. The light you will inspire in each other is irreplaceable. 36. Try new foods. Try new wines. Try new flavors of ice cream. Food is a great lover. 37. Go on adventures. Anything from hiking a mountain to raiding the thrift store in the next town over can create the most amazing of discoveries. 38. Feel for others. Emphasize and have compassion. Let yourself be moved by them. 39. Dance uncontrollably. Whether you look like a superstar, or a flailing idiot like myself, let music take control of your body. 40. While you’re at it, grab a partner. We should all dance together. 41. Learn everything you can. Absorb information like a sponge. Fall in love with knowledge. Fall in love with stories. Fall in love with history. Fall in love with everything your brain is just waiting to know. 42. Follow your dreams. Go for the job you know will awaken the best parts of who you are. 43. Your passion is a lifelong romance you will always need to strive for. It can be the kind of lover that brings you joy and fulfillment with every passing day. 44. Accept yourself. Be proud. Be confident. Be strong. 45. You can fall in love with yourself every day, too. You can look in the mirror and know that in your heart you are radiating love onto this world. You can carry with you the ability to achieve extraordinary greatness. You just have to be open to it, because the choice is yours. So go, my friend, and fall in love with this life.

The basic problem we have here in africa as a whole is what I call Me-ism. The old ones don't wanna pass the baton to the incoming generations. Dr. Myles Munroe in his words said " leaders don't die with baton in their hands... They pass it to the incoming generations before they die". These are leaders who have worked for so many years serving their respective countries but don't wanna allow people of fresh ideas to take their positions. This isn't only a Nigerian situation. It's a viral issue in Africa. My Say- These old folks need proper orientation. By the way, heard in the news that he is the new AU chairman. At 90...Why ![]() ?. Anyways,,, we are Africans. And we need Orientations. |
zick19:My guy.. Relationship ain't like that. Have you ever wondered why God makes Faith the currency of heaven .Where we all got it wrong is that we make choices for ourselves and not God making for us regarding relationships and other spheres of life. Do you think if you wait on God for a good relationship, you still need a test-drive . Or, should I conclude that most of us who test-drive don't really have a deep encounter and absolute trust in God ?. The Bible makes it known that " we walk by faith and not by sight". But here we are today, walking by sight and not by faith. Conclusion ; If we really wanna grow and experience more of God's goodness, abstain from any sort of sin regarding the flesh. Thank you. Good people, great nation, it all lies with our character !!! |
Listening to the presidential debate on raypower f.m. whereby three parties are in the hot seat of questions I.e, PDP, UPP and the KOWA PARTY. Even the other parties we are not so considerate about are taking good hands in this debate. So, what do you guys think about this debate. To me, The PDP is using past achievements to raise awareness of their presidential aspiration. UPP on the other hand is a nice party that doesn't talk too much I think. And the party is doing good with this debate. The KOWA PARTY is also doing good. To we Nigerians, what do we think about this debate and the questions been asked rising from the Energy, Education, Corruption, and other strong sectors. |
