But we Must understand that it is not by the Speed at which the building is put up that matters. What Matters is the Foundation that Holds building. What Matters is the Quality of the Foundation of that building. If the Foundation is not solid, it does not matter how Beautiful and Big it is , it is a Waste of Time.
Just like our lives here on Earth. Anyone can brag to Have the best Appointment/position and Resources on Earth. Anyone can brag to Have so many Degress in the best Schools and Institutions Anyone can brag to Have latest automobiles and Houses on Earth Anyone can brag to be this or that,
But if your Foundation is not Built on the Solid Rock of JESUS Christ, it does matter who you are, or what you Have, it is a Waste. It is Useless. It is a guarantee of Eternal Damnation.
Righteousness2: Like the post above said, He may have been quoted out of Context.
To make matters clear, Sin brings the Judgement of God.
Every human that comes into the world is born with sin as a result of the errors of our Fire parents, Adam and Eve but praise be to GOD for the Free Gift of Salvation available to all through JESUS Christ.
Sin Hinders our prayers from being answered.
The Prayer of a Sinner is an abomination to GOD.
All Unrighteousness is Sin.
Sin will hinder you from Making Eternal life.
Heaven will not be Filled with Perfect People , Only Forgiven sinners. So we must Ensure we repent from every sins and ask GOD for forgiveness.
Irrespective of what you claim you are , Not Believing and Accepting JESUS Christ is a straight ticket to hell.

Word by Bishop David Oyedepo Understanding revival as a season of signs and wonders Day 3. Zep.3vs17,19; Hab.3vs19 Revival is the season of the rise of giants in the church body of Christ. God sets His people on high places. As SU (Christians), we were considered useless until Revival brought out the worth of His people. Now see the beauty, and glory.
Keep a genuine appointment with God in this Revival season. Its your stand with God that will change your story. Psa.42vs2-3; Matt.6vs33 Revival is set to occur when the heart of man begins to pant and thirst after God and the affairs of His Kingdom like never before. Keep following. The genuine pursuit of God and His Kingdom is what empowers believers for signs and wonders. Jer.29vs13; Jn15vs15; Psa.103vs7; Acts.2vs30 It puts believers in command of the supernatural You can't engage His ways and not be in command of His acts. Every heart for God is ahead of his generation.
A heart for God granted David the King's favor A heart for God enjoys favors with men A heart for God enjoy what others are dying and struggling with their souls to access Nobody seeks for God at a loss.

[quote author=money121 post=101487816]Hello Nairalanders, Few weeks ago, a single father posted his twins here on nairaland (https://www.nairaland.com/6519966/twins-plus1-today-im-happy) and I was so moved, I reached out to him that i wish to assist him with some little token monthly if he don't mind, I dropped my contact, he contacted me and i assisted him with the token as promised.
But i noticed a lot of members on nairaland started contacting me for assistance, some even thought i run a charity foundation, so this prompted me to Start this weekly GiveAway.
The beneficiary will either be a Widow, Widower, Single parent and i will also consider Students because i know it is not easy here in Nigeria. This will serve as my little contribution and pay back to Nairaland because this forum has really helped my Roofing Business thus far.
So, we will pick winners randomly every week with proof that you are really in need of that money. I believe 5k will go a long way to attend to some basic things.
Note: If I give you the money, it's not because you scoped me to achieve that, you're just unintelligent/unwise if you're among those taking advantage of kind people around you and calling such kind hearted people maga. My believe is that givers never lack.
Moreover, i'm also aware of the economic challenges/recession in the country, so helping people when I can is right to me.
TO APPLY: Drop a comment here and tell us how this 5k would go a long way to helping you. You can send proof to my DM to support your reason. I will randomly pick one (1) person each week.[/qu.

I run a manufacturing business and a trading business. The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire is appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year. But I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management. Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.
My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't not be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.
It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.
We always complain of the economy and how they are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.
I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.
Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.
Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.
Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around. Because they're eating your money.
Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.
Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.
Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.
You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.
And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.
Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.
Modified : This was sent by a friend... I do not claim ownership.
Hmmmn, is it a curse in the land or what? I consider this pretty alarming... Sir pls where is this company, I need a job. I am a born again Christian with a heart for God, to please Him all my days.
Bigyusluv: I have read all your comments, and thank you for the advise and casting.
The runs doesn't affect the company in any where, I met the runs there and there is nothing I can do about it, even the owner is stealing from the company, everybody dey do their own runs, I didn't start it pls, I had no plans of doing runs when I started, but shiit happens....
you can stay away from it to save your life. God loves you and He is giving you a chance bro
internationalman: They are modernizing this our palace too much.. it's gradually losing its historical, traditional and cultural values and recognition...
I wish it's kept acient so our younger once can identify with their root..
igboamakaaa: In all this fiasco, the people i pity most are the "Nigerian Soldiers" from southern Nigeria who always get posted to the North East to "die in service of their beloved country".
They just died for nothing, leaving Widowed wives and fatherless children that will be abandoned by the same govt. they were wasted for. See the people that they died trying to capture, wearing asoebi and celebrating in a lavish "Graduation ceremony" after being pampered and giving presidential treatment.
They are now being released back to the society to continue from where they stopped. Surely another set of southern soldiers will be sent to be killed by them again, and the loop will continue till infinity.
GboyegaD: I love her courage and appreciate her honesty however, I find it condescending to say the sisters have no jobs. She could have left out that part and her message will still carry so much weight.
crossfm: The level of poverty is this country is alarming. Just imagine how graduates are protesting for 30k job.
The government should look into their demands. They should conduct a comprehensive interview for them.If possible get an agency to do the interview. Those who scale through should be employed, most especially as teachers.Because,the education sector is a big mess.
