You once dated someone, the relationship didn't work out as planned So you guys broke up despite everything you have done for each other.

You felt hurt, You felt used, She/he Cheated Sporadically On you, So you couldn't take it and left Or It was Genotype issue, You guys were not compatible so you You guys had to break up.

Few months or years later, you got married and everything changed.

But one thing that Never changed was your communication with your ex, He or she kept coming back, While some asked for forgiveness, others wants to be your best friend, that you guys can still visit each other even while married.

You people must be Joking. One of the greatest threats to marriages is an Ex, Many first kids to so many married couples belongs to their ex

You guys won't respect yourself Until you find yourself in deep mess, Nobody said you should start keeping malice with all your ex but common sense should teach you what boundary is.

Some of you, though married are still sleeping with your ex and blaming the devil
Some of you still accommodate ex that disturbs you daily though married.

I don't actually know your plan but just know that you are digging a pit for yourself.

Sever all ties with your ex if he or she poses a threat to your marriage.

Remember Okafor's law that tells us that once you have slept with a person, there are great chances of it happening again if left alone with that person.

So true

Nothing to celebrate here pls.

To me , divorce is never an option !
No matter how long your courtship is , you wld continue to unravel new things, both positive and negative about your spouse.

Marriage is a union of two forgivers and not for those who seek escape from seemingly depressed part of the whole.

Unpleasantness in marriage are meant to sharpen us and prepare us for better time.

Exactly...

Shameless...

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2 KJV

Paul begins this writing by lovingly pleading with us like parents would plead with their adult kids, to present our bodies a living sacrifice to God.

This has to do with our daily life. We are to present our bodies holy and acceptable to God.

The “present’ there has to do with seeing and agreeing that your body has been made holy and acceptable unto God, and then walking that way on earth.

That is, you are to see that your body is not some dirty, old, rejected and empty vessel. It is holy, acceptable unto God, filled with His Spirit and owned by Him.

Having known this, you are to walk on this earth as someone who is carrying God in his body.
As someone whose body is a holy temple to God, you are to let that holiness manifest in your relationships, conversations, appearance and daily activities.

You are to yield your body as an instrument of righteousness, not allowing your attitude or lifestyle to become a mockery of the Gospel you have believed and profess.

As lights in the world, you are to shine and let men in darkness find their way to God through you.

How can you do this effortlessly? Verse 2 of that Romans 12 gives us a clue. It says it is via the renewal of your mind.

The renewal of the mind there has to do with a constant meditation on the Word till it forms a thought pattern within you that is good, acceptable and perfect will of God.

The thought pattern then forms a deep conviction within you that cannot be easily swayed.

This conviction determines how you act, respond to others and go about fulfilling God’s will on the earth.

So you want to present your body a living sacrifice to God? Start with renewing your mind first.

Say to yourself the things God in His Word has spoken concerning you.

“I have been made righteous through Christ so I live righteously.

“Grace has been given to me so I am gracious toward others.

“I am the Light of the world, darkness and evil is not permitted around me.

“I am dead to sin so it is no longer at work within me.

“I am an ambassador of Christ so I let my lifestyle reflect this. Glory to God!”

When you make a conscious effort to affirm the things the Word has said about the righteous nature you now have in Christ, you will see yourself living more righteous unconsciously than you would on purpose.

I hope this blesses you!

Glory to God!

Thank you. God bless

Good move....now is his chance to step up to that Balon'dor level. Hala Madrid!

RIP young one....This shows we must always remember that sometimes the consequences of our actions affects those around us either positively or negatively.

yourFEARS:
You can't blame the high rate of suicide on the production of sniper. The manufacturers made the product for domestic rodents and insects.

Ban Sniper, and people will find something else to commit suicide with.

Depression and Hopelessness are the major causes of Suicide. And believe me, the moral decay in our contemporary society adds to those factors. The economy is bad, people are losing jobs, families are separating, people no longer respect relationships and the social media is Making life seem it's about the cars, houses and jobs. When events, situations and circumstances leave you empty and void, and things you've fed your thoughts on, can fill the emptiness and void, or you may see nothing worth holding onto in Life.

When all the happiness you have in life is derived from money, wealth, academic attainment, family, etc, you never can escape depression, when you lose those things.

Give your existence more essence and you'll never contemplate suicide. The Holy scripture puts it that, "If in this life alone we have hope, we are of all men most miserable".

I wish we could go back to the days when Religious organizations paid attention to issues of the soul. Today, it is quite pathetic that you can get depressed right inside the Church.

#noToSuicide
No matter what, look at the brighter side of Life.

When there's life, there's hope. I've seen people get healthy from cancer and life threatening issues. I've seen family reunite after decades of separation. I've seen wealthy people come out of excruciating poverty.

You case is not the worst.
Work on your mind and soul. Don't just be RELIGIOUS

This is an absolute gem....petmit me to copy this. God bless ya!

GentleMoney:
Do NOT reverse while looking back.. Make use of your mirrors instead..

Almost every one does this....

dauntless15:
If you use what you see on social media as a milestone to judge where you are in life, you'll just commit suicide over some make believe lifestyle, let him post private jet tomorrow many people will be frustrated because they'll buy the story hook, line and sinker, this is why yahoo and all sorts of fraud are on the rise, I'm not bothered as long as he doesn't buy the world with me in it, let him be living his life, we're all running our own race, nobody dey carry first.

Absolutely... your last paragraph captured it all!

koyyes:
Ebuka was the rightful winner, not you.

Your dad worked out the magomago that year.

Thank goodness ebuka is doing well and you are here seeking attention.

Just thank God in silence for being alive abeg.

Nah his dad didn't do nothing. In fact Katung almost got his dad in trouble because of that show. His dad is a strong elder of ECWA church...

SugarMuffin:
Okay we've heard you I don't even why he announced it, does he think we give a Bleep about him, the only kanu we know is that Nigerian footballer

Lmao! funny enough, this one use to be pro footballer too

sommyboi:
More so because, football has been commercialized. These young players are for the money and nothing more. Take a look at how they change clubs like one changes underwear.

Well said again...so true

Very dumb thing to do..

All these actresses are fùcking hypocrites.


But that insult... E pain am

I tell you....dumbos

KingAzubuike:
I wish I could turn back the hands of time to an era in football where there were many entertaining players. Good entertaining footballers are very scarce now

Exactly.
That is why only Ronaldo n Messi keep winning the best player award yearly cos only a few top class entertaining footballers are left

Kingkun69:
you were making sense...... But then you just had to spoil it

Exactly what I thought...

DTaj:
You should be gone already, slow, error-prone, calamitous, daft irritant!

How Emery signed this 35-year old spent clown last summer remains a miracle!

The guy belongs to the "worst-ever signing" group which includes Djourou, Silvestre, Cygan, Mustafi, Santos, Xhaka, Senderos, Baptista, and many others on whom Wenger wasted precious Arsenal funds...

Squilachi, Jenkinson, Sanogo, Gabriel, Gibbs, Aliadiare, etc

akaahs:
I remember the day I clock 30 two years ago. I didnt go out that day, just angry with myself about my journey in life so far, no any reasonable job, no investment to show for it, no kids or wife to lean on, in fact no any tangible achievement. Just a life of misery and the thought of when ll I help myself and others around me but then life has a way of rewarding people who persevere to the end.
Thank God I'm moving gradually.

Motivational...

ImaIma1:
Good point. Attending midweek service takes extra effort and even discipline

So true...I can testify that. But I so love midweek Bible studies

Thank you

From FeedMeJesus.com

Have you been hurt by someone close to you, a friend, brother, colleague at work or even your spouse? And you are finding it difficult to forgive this person even though you are a Christian and knows as believers we ought to forgive those who hurt us?

Let me show you what you can do that will practically help to forgive and let go of the pains caused you by others.

We live in a world that is filled with so much uncertainties, though this is not how our Father planned it to be, but that is the reality we find ourselves in today.

Our close friends and loved ones often shattering our hearts, betraying our trust and doing things that make us wonder “so this person could hurt me this much and still act like everything is OK.”

While it is true that some persons hurt us accidentally without knowing the gravity of their actions to us, there are also those who actually do so on purpose, taking advantage of our love, trust or care to cause us harm. It is this last set of people that are often the most difficult to forgive.

So what do we do when we are hurt by the people we least expect and we are having a hard time forgiving them?

First, I am going to take my time to debunk some popular myths surrounding forgiveness that has limited so many people today.

Myth 1: If you do not forgive others, God will not forgive you

This popular belief gotten from scriptures not properly explained, tries to make you the initiator of forgiveness while God only responds to your actions.

It puts you in the position where God only forgives you after you have forgiven those who hurt you.

While it is true that this notion was gotten from the Bible, it is also true that this on its own should never be used as a doctrine for the church today. Why?

The reason is because apart from the Gospels (Matthew and Mark to be specific) no other writer of the books of the Bible ever presented God this way, even in the Old Testament. God is always presented as the initiator of forgiveness.

Psalms 103:2-3 & verse 12 put it this way:

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; as far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”

The Epistles put it this way:

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sin, according to the riches of his grace.” Eph.1:7 KJV

We have forgiveness now according to riches of his grace, not according to how we have forgiven others.

Again in Ephesians:

“And be ye kind to one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Eph.4:32 KJV

Here we are asked to forgive others in the same way God forgave us. Not forgive so God will forgive us. Colossians reiterated this.

“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” Col.3:13 KJV

Again, here the motivation is to forgive others because you have been forgiven already not so as to be forgiven.

If that is true, why did Jesus make the statement in the first place, telling the Jews to forgive so as to be forgiven by God?

The answer lies in the audience. Jesus was speaking to the people of his day who were under the Law. He wasn’t giving them the presentation of the God of grace there, he was actually amplifying the Law of “do good get good” the Jews already had.

He had to stretch the Law of works the Jews were cleaving to in order to bring them to the end of themselves where they can reason, “how on earth am I ever going to be forgiven by God, if He will have to depend on how I forgive others before forgiving me? Including who are no longer within my reach so I can tell them I’ve forgiven them and even those I’ve forgotten about.”

Jesus amplified the Law for them to see how impossible it is for a human to achieve, merit or receive forgiveness based on his own efforts and then completely trust in God’s amazing grace for forgiveness. He was giving them a new Law or doctrine. (See Romans 3:19)

Myth 2: Since I am already forgiven, I need not forgive others

This notion is peddled by those who carelessly lift scriptures out of context, thereby misleading themselves and others.

In almost every book of the Bible where you are told of the eternal forgiveness you have in Christ, you are also instructed to “forgive others”, “walk in love”, “be tenderhearted towards others” and much more.

Because just as little children, we ought to initiate our heavenly Father who has taken the first step in forgiving us our own trespasses.

Myth 3: Forgive and forget

You have probably heard on or two people use this phrase before to beat people into pretending like they weren’t hurt and have forgotten what happened when in the real sense they still remember it.

Forgiving someone of their offence against you is not the same as forgetting it. While you can deliberately choose to let go of the pains caused you by others, forgetting it takes a little bit of time.

So if you are struggling to forget what someone did to you, quit the struggle and allow time take its due cause on your heart.

Haven seen all these, let’s go back to answering the first question “what do you do when you find it difficult to forgive someone?”

1. Feed Your Mind On How Much You Have Been Forgiven By God

Understanding that God has forgiven you your entire sins in life is very very important when it comes to you forgiving others.

A man who has not received the truth that his won sins have been completely forgiven by God will always struggle to forgive others.

Before you even committed your first, the very first one, God in His infinite knowledge knew you would. His knowledge of it does not mean He approved your doing of it, no not all. He hates sin and has no part in it.

But before you ever did it, He made a provision for a scapegoat on whom He will lay the punishment - His own Son, Jesus. Thereby freeing and declaring you justified (just as if you never sinned)

This is why one of the greatest names that revealed God’s true character in the Old Testament is the name, Jehovah Jireh (Genesis 22:14). Jehovah Jireh here does not just mean our great provider alone like we have always believed. It actually means the one who sees ahead of time and provides.

He saw ahead of humanity’s need for a Saviour as a result of sin and provided His own Son, forgiving us of all trespasses - before any of ever sinned, confessed and pleaded with Him for mercy.

You need to understand and meditate on this so well it takes over your entire being.

2. Pray, Expressing Your True Feelings Over The Issue And The Person To God

Where God is, you don’t have to put on a clothe before receiving a hug from Him. You can come stark naked and He will welcome you with open arms.

What that means is that with God, you have nothing to be ashamed of or hide. You can show Him your wounds, even the ones eyes can’t see and tell Him where it hurts you the most.

No matter concerning you is too small or too big to gain His attention. He does not consider one case very serious and another less serious when it comes to you.

You are so special to Him that whatever grieves you is of utmost importance to Him. The same attention He’ll give you when people hurt you with a pin is the same He will give you when hit you with a truck.

So feel free to express how you feel about a person and issues to Him, trusting Him to lift the burden off your shoulders.

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the God of peace, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 KJV

The moment you have expressed your true feelings towards the offender to God, the Holy Spirit takes over your heart, overwhelming you with peace - the kind that passes all understandings.

It is from this peace that the God’s kind of forgiveness which you already have on the inside of you will be able to flow out towards the offender, effortlessly.

I call you blessed. Glory to God!

Some jobs or career come with stereotypes...once in need you have to live with the status weather true or not...

Candiesramah:
He's absolutely right. Some women will talk to people in such a mannerless way that once they get what they demanded for, they'll be like "I am a married woman, don't talk to me like that" nonsense! Does being a married woman mean you shouldn't have sense?

For some men, they'll disrespect themselves and when disrespected, they'll be like "I have your mate as a wife at home, or you're not up to my wife". How does that one concern me?

Nigerians brag with marriage a lot. Anyone wey try marry, even if e dey drink garri inside, will be forming married man/woman.

Exactly..

IamPlato:
HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE

This is not like every other success write up you use to know; its high time we spit the truth...

What do you understand success to be?

Success for me could be havin a billion dollars in my account, success for you could be your achievements in changing lives of people every step of the way, success for others could be the number of awards they achieved...

Our definition for success differs greatly, just as our strategies of achieving it differs


The very first step in getting the spirit of success is to first define your own success. What do you want to achieve? Is it money, awards, changing lives, women or estates? Define it... with a definition you have a road map on which you plan on.


You must also understand that you must first succeed with little things before you can succeed with bigger things...


Now lets be very plain here...


The road to success is very bleeped up; not a smooth ride... they tell you success is like climbing up a ladder... sorry bro you have been lied to... the road to success is scary, full of traps and bombs, water and fire, enemies upon enemies, trust and betrayals, jumping and diving, running and hiding...
There are certain things you must understand so you don’t get frustrated in your pursuit of success
1. No one is going to fix you, you got to fix yourself
2. You must accept yourself the way you are
3. Life will never be perfect
4. Those who complain must achieve less
5. No one has it all figured out
6. Enemies will accumulate
7. You are not special
8. Being too kind is a weakness
9. Success is not achieved by hard work




1. NO ONE IS GOING TO FIX YOU, YOU GOT TO FIX YOURSELF
Not one person will fix you, you alone will build your success tower as you encounter increasing challenges. No one will fix you because everyone is busy fighting their own battle, they don’t care how difficult your life is because they have theirs to worry about.
For success to be reached you must kill the entitlement mentality, no one owes you anything, you are not entitled to any share/part of anybody’s wealth, not even your parents




2. YOU MUST ACCEPT YOURSELF THE WAY YOU ARE
They say we are all beautifully and fearfully made... yes some persons are unattractive or scary to look at and they owe you no apology about it. Reason is because the real you doesn't start from your face but your mind. Do you have a problem with your looks? You are feeling unattractive? Well then feel free to have a facial surgery, change your skin colour but I promuise you that every time you look in the mirror, the first thing your mind tells you is “this can never be you”... you can change your face but not who you are.
Low self esteem is a curse that needs to be fought out of one’s mind if you wish to be successful because of you do nothing about it, it will breed and reproduce in your mind and get you tied to your comfort zone




3. LIFE WILL NEVER BE PERFECT
As a film director, one of the lessons you learn is that you can not always have what you want. I know many of us picture a perfect success, maybe a full luxurious house, expensive cars, super gadgets... success is step by step until the end, you can not always have it all, what you picture may not be exactly what you will get. Even if you get it all, from luxury house to expensive fast cars to super gadgets, you surely wouldn’t have time for some of these things which will end up lying hardly used or touched; life will never be perfect but it can always be better




4. THOSE WHO COMPLAIN MOST ACHIEVE LESS
Same thing applies to those who boast most... actions are better appreciated than words.
Since when has complaining solved problems, the best complains can do for you is advance into lamentations and attract sympathy for you because that all you deserve. Stop complaining and do something about your problems because if you don’t, no one will




5. NO ONE HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT
In the road map of success there are lots of puzzles to be solved, some you would solve, some will take a while, but there are some you will never figure out; at this point do not waste much time on this part of life because if you do, you would prolong your success time and still wouldn’t figure them out
How do I end corruption?
How do I deal with evil?
How do I eradicate poverty?
How do I make the world love me?
How can I be the best?
How do I succeed without offending others?
Save yourself the trouble and move on with your life...




6. ENEMIES WILL ACCUMULATE#
Either you believe it or not, your success will become a thorn to some other persons. In life there is the ongoing competition of greatness, this is a struggle that will never end; just as you can’t walk through the bushes without stepping on the grasses, you can’t walk through success without stepping on toes or getting in other people’s way... the higher you climb, the more your enemies...




7. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL
You could be intelligent, smart, you could be lucky with opportunities but never proclaim yourself special in mind or in words. There are thousands who are better than you, you are only priveledged and not special. The same cancer that killed that guy can also kill you, the same accident that killed that girl can also kill you, you fall from the 5th floor you get broken to pieces, you get bitten by a venomous snake you die.
You are nothing but just a man working to enjoy life just like others




8. BEING TO KIND IS A WEAKNESS
“Bro please can I borrow you laptop?”
“I’m sorry you can’t”
“Please bro... I need to get this project done”
“I don’t give out my office... this is where I do my business”
“So you can’t help a brother”
“Sorry I can’t... go to a cyber cafe”...
What if you give out your laptop and it gets stolen, what would you do?
Too much of everything is bad... if you give women too muc h attention, you will begin to look like shit to them.
If you do not know how to say “No” you become used by others who would take advantage of your kindness
You must learn to say “NO” when its necessary and it must be confidently and firmly...
Saying yes to every Tom, Dick and Harry can lead to your own detriment and get you off success track




9. SUCCESS IS NOT ACHIEVED BY HARD WORK
The truth is, not every one will make it in life, this is because many are busy working hard not smart

You want to be a CEO? You want to be the boss? Then you must quit working hard and start working smart.
If hard work is the road to success, brick layers, conductors, street hawkers will all be rich because these people are hard workers
I knew of a woman who owned a large fashion firm with over 20 employees but funny enough she doesn't know how to pedal a sewing machine... hard workers will forever remain employees and not employers.

You cannot be a CEO if you are not smart




I pity slothful people; if hard workers are still struggling to get out of poverty I wonder what would be the fate of the lazy man


For every success you define, there are techniques and strategies to achieving them but you must also understand the essence of PATIENCE...
