A TRUE LOVE, A SINCERE WRONG, A WORTHY EXIT-Daloy Stiz

Love, Oh my love, My dearest love, My honey Sweetie pie, Honey, and many other golden pleasantries Persisted for one-and-a-half years that seemed like centuries I truly erotically loved Juliet Though not yet a start but a starlet Did I not hear God clearly? Or I took the message so barely? It was one of those messages that holds life I started after one year of spiritual relationship without strife By his grace I got her a Bible Made me seem so reliable Then I got her gifts that seemed more attractive than the Bible- Now this made me seem bankable But ever before all these, he said: ‘Make her a friend, she has 3 out of 5 things your wife would have’ I was calm about it but was not so sure of what afterwards, I heard He also said ‘I don’t want you to get something like it and not the very it’ All these I heard in prayer sessions Though a voice kept saying ‘she is the one’ outside the sessions And I despised the voice and praye...

Ceaser's Portion

'Give to Caeser the things that are Caeser's , and give to God the things that are God's.' Mark 12:17 Spirituality sometimes beclouds our reasoning so much that we assume that praying, fasting and studying of God’s word means we do not have to work hard. Frankly, the fact that you preach God’s word with so much fervor doesn’t give you the autonomy of being lazy at your job. It is Caeser’s portion. God is not pleased with laziness- it is diligence, not spirituality, that makes one stand before kings and not ordinary men. In actual fact, hardworking, unspiritual men and women excel because the law of sowing and reaping is super-real. Shouldn’t Christians actually be better employees/workers? Hard work cannot be substituted for spiritual sensitivity, and vice versa. This week, let us remember that as we work at our different jobs. Happy New Week!

The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.” ~Daniel Goldstein “Self-discipline is an act of cultivation. It require you to connect today's actions to tomorrow's results.

DOKITA-2

EPISODE 4 A man walks, into the emergency room one sunny Sunday afternoon. He speaks, to one of the nurses ‘Please, can I see a doctor?’ The nurse looks up briefly from her charting, and after giving him one all-over look, she decides that this man, isn’t critical. Do you have a file in this hospital? He looks at her, desperation on his face ‘…what? Oh no, I don’t. This is my first time here, but I need to see a doctor.’ He pauses as he tries to read the look on her face; then says: ‘Its urgent’ The sister sighs. ‘Here, I get to decide what is urgent.’ ‘Please go over to that section by your right and get a file. The doctor has to write in a case note.’ ‘I’m telling you…’ his voice trailed into the background as the nurse continues her charting. She is about to clock out, and isn’t about to let this man be a stumbling block. No way. ********************************...

20 QUOTES ON PRAYER

‘No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.’-E.M Bounds ‘Heaven is full of answers to prayer for which no one bothered to ask.’- Billy Graham ‘…True prayer is measured by weight, not by length. A single groan before God may have more fullness of prayer in it than a  fine oration of great length.’- C.H Spurgeon ‘Prayer is not learned in the classroom but in the closet.’- E.M Bounds ‘I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.’- James Hudson Taylor ‘If Christians spent as much time praying as they do grumbling, they would soon have nothing to grumble about.’- Anonymous ‘Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words tha...

GRIT by Ayobami Olafimihan

The first round of the twelve for the year 2017 has ended, yeah, the first lap is over. How well did you fare? Like me, you probably made resolutions at the beginning of the year about things you wanted to improve on and do differently. Goals and dreams you want to make a reality, life styles and habits that need some tweaking. However it did go, you must keep on keeping on. You must not fail to keep the end goals (your resolutions) in mind. Your actions need to be consistently aligned with these intentions of yours. In staying this course for the next 10 months, you need a ton of GRIT- perseverance and passion for long term goals. Perseverance in rolling with the punches and passion to keep putting your  best foot forward. Every growth has its pain. "MEDIOCRITY IS A REGION BORDERED ON THE NORTH BY COMPROMISE, ON THE SOUTH BY INDECISION, ON THE EAST BY PASTTHINKING, AND ON THE WEST BY A LACK OF VISION. -John Mason " to the Hardworkers, the Goal getters & the ...

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.
