As June Ends!!!

It is Tuesday the 30th day of June 2015.

It is the last day in the month of June and when by 12 midnight it transits to eternity, it can never be recalled back to earth.

It has been a very hectic month, one that saw us cris-crossing the Country and far away Countries, one that has literally kept us on our toes.

In the month of June, we aimed for the skies but though we could not get there but we surely got blessed with star dust which has kept us floating.

It surely was a month to be proud of.

How did your month go?

Did you achieve all that you set out to achieve?

If not, don't burn out, the next month would surely be better

Let's look up to God for a better month as the 7th month of 2015 glides in.

Have a swell day

Cheers

Monday Is It

My Friends.

Good morning.

Thank God for His mercies that brought us back to the land of the living today, for by our own power we would never have made it, but His love for us which He showed right from the Garden of Eden has sustained us right up to the present time. May all honour, glory, dominion and adoration be His for now and for ever – Amen

It’s Monday, the 29^th of June, just a day left and the  month of June 2015 shall be gone FOREVER.

What are your hands doing?

What thoughts are spewing out of your mind?

What plans are still on the drawing table?

Get to work

It is high time to put an end to that drought

Looks like the rain is taking the passenger’s seat while the sun is becoming the driver on daily basis

Use both well

And while you do that, the Lord of harvest would sow good seeds in your life

Today

Bless and be Blessed

Be Careful Who You Associate With

There is an adage in my language ( Igbo ) that says "if a goat that doesn't eat yam becomes friends with the goat that eats yam, she too will start to eat yam". How true is that saying!,. 

A lot of wrong things people do is as a result of the type of friends they keep and because of what influence they have in their lives.

If a married woman is keeping friends with a woman that is a flirt or cheating on her husband, she too will likely be influenced to start flirting and cheating on her husband ( same with men ).

Somebody is likely to be influenced into committing crimes if he is having criminals as friends, if a truthful person keeps friends with liars they are likely to influence him/ her into telling lies, if a preacher that is in the truth begins to keep friends and fellowship with compromising preachers they will influence him into compromise, if a holy Child of God attends a corrupt Church or listens to worldly preachers or keeps friends with ungodly people he/ she will be influenced into living worldly and ungodly lifestyle, also if somebody has a wicked person as his/ her adviser he/ she will be living wicked life and taking wicked actions.

Whoever we keeps friends with has a lot to do with the kind of life we live, the actions we take and to some extent, the progress we make in life.

Most importantly, the preachers we listen to has a lot to do with our eternal destination, if we listen to worldly preachers, it will make us live contrary to God's will, but if we listen to the preachers of holiness and righteousness it will enable us live life that is pleasing to GOD.

CHOOSE WISELY! ( Please read 1 Corinthians 15: 33, 34. ).

Do Not Bury Yourself In Academics

"Academic excellence is overrated! I said it.

Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.

You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else.

The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.

The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam.

School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.

School rewards caution, life rewards daring.

School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.

So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should.

But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class.

Don't limit yourself to the classroom.

Do something practical.

Take a leadership position.

Start a business and fail. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.

Join or start a club.

Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you.

Attend a seminar.

Read books outside the scope of your course.

Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards...

Do something you believe in!

Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person.

Make the world your classroom....

Prof. Abletor Sedofia

Encourage Someone Today

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on

vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color

and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band -he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with

descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body

of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left

him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this

window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present. Don't just hit LIKE but hit SHARE because somebody may need to read this!

The Size Of God

Have you ever met a child who draws you by the arm and tells you: 'brother or sister, buy me candy or biscuit'?

That kid doesn't care if you have money in your pocket or not, s/he just believes in your size--he believes that someone as big as you are can provide him with candy or biscuit.

This is how we should believe in God--like the little children.

If you cannot believe God for any other thing, believe him for His size.

He's such a BIG God--He's so BIG to lie.

Hallelujah!

That reminds me of this song

I have a very Big God  o o

He is always by my side

A very Big God

By my side, by my side

I have a very Big God  o o

He is always by my side

A very Big God

By my side, by my side

Have a very pleasant day

A Tuesday Like No Other

Hello Friend

You have heard it said that all days are the same and that nothing changes, but I tell you that you heard it all wrong.

There are days and there are Days.

The only way days remain the same is if we are not making progress, if we are not actively engaged in building and fulfilling our dreams

For a dreamer and action taker, no one day is the same as the one that has passed or the one yet to come.

It's Tuesday, a brand new day with an old name; we cannot help the name  but we certainly can help the events that would transform this Tuesday into a Tuesday like no other.

I am fully persuaded that if we apply ourselves to this Tuesday, to observe and do all that we need to do to make it better than the past Tuesday, it surely shall turn out well; but if we hang our boots and fold our arms and expect the day to better itself, that WILL NEVER HAPPEN

Your Tuesday would surely be like you have made it

I intend to make mine a better Tuesday, how about you?

Go ye out there and ACHIEVE!!!

Happy Fathers' Day

It's the International Day for Men popularly called Fathers' Day

I got this message from my son and I want to share it with all Fathers out there as we celebrate

"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad, and

that's why I call you Dad, because you are so special to me.

You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.

Having you as a Father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration.

From your shining example of fatherhood I have learnt about unconditional love, the importance of giving back has been reinforced in me and I have been taught to be a better person

I want to congratulate all the men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are stepfathers, or biological fathers or just spiritual fathers

I am far away home but the emotional feelings are there, it took hours to contemplate and write this mail but I just have to let you know that you are special to my heart

Happy fathers' day Daddy"

I love you Daddy

You are my Hero

I love you Daddy, oh Daddy

You are my Superstar

And you're always on my mind

I love you Daddy

My Daddy, my Daddy

You are my Hero

My Hero, my Hero

I love you Daddy, oh Daddy

You are my Number One

And you're always on my mind

10 Things You Don't Owe Anyone Even When You Think You Do

Other people will always want to advise you on how to do things. It’s in their nature! However, no matter how big or small, what you are doing is really none else’s business but your own and for that you never need to explain yourself to anyone. In order to be able to move forward though and chase after your dreams,it’s important to understand that you are the one person responsible for your life and no one else. You can’t be held back by giving too much attention to what other people think or say.

To help you out, here’s a list of the 10 things you don’t owe anyone even when you think you do:

1. An explanation of your life priorities

Wherever you are in life, no one is allowed to tell you what you need to do. 

Let’s not confuse this with giving advice though. 

Everyone has their own beliefs and views on the world so their opinion might be entirely different to yours. It’s okay to be open to suggestions, but you are not required to give an explanation for what you regard as your priorities in life. 

Perhaps you want to travel and see the world before you finally settle down, or you’ve decided you want to become a parent in your 20s. 

Either way it’s your choice to make.

2.An apology if it's not genuine

You don’t owe an apology if it feels forced.

No matter how things ended with your partner or friend, you don’t have to apologize if you are not sorry. 

First you need to get rid of the anger inside you and resolve the issue in your mind before you go off admitting to something even if it wasn't your fault.

3. A reason to be alone

Everybody wants to spend some quality time alone once in a while, and there’s no shame in admitting that. 

This by any means doesn’t make you rude or anti-social. 

The same applies if you’ve chosen to just stay alone for a while by not getting involved in a romantic relationship. 

If you don’t ever want to get married, for example, it’s your call to make, and other people need to respect that.

4. Your time

You need to understand that you don’t have to do things you don’t want to. 

For example, you don’t owe anyone a date just because they’ve asked you out. 

You have the right to say no and should refuse if you don’t feel like going without feeling guilty about it or worry about the consequences.

5. An explanation of how you live your life

No one has the right to judge how you are living your life, and you certainly don't need to explain yourself. 

Whether you are living in an RUV or you are still staying with your parents and you are past your 20s, it doesn’t matter because you have your own reasons for doing that.

6. Agreeing with someone else’s personal beliefs

If you feel strongly opposed to someone’s beliefs then you don’t have to agree with them. 

When you find yourself in the middle of a disagreement, it’s important to stand your ground and defend your opinion without getting aggressive. 

Just because you want to get on well with someone doesn’t mean that you have to comply with whatever they say or believe in. 

7. An explanation for your physical appearance

So you’ve decided to dye your hair purple and paint your nails black. 

You’ve grown your beard, got dreadlocks and pierced your nose. 

That’s ok unless you are under 18 years-old, or you’ve got a big interview coming up. 

If that’s not the case, you don't need to explain why you decided to change your appearance. 

Let the haters hate; they’ll get over it at some point.

8. An explanation for your sex life

You don’t have to explain your sexual preferences to anybody. 

People might judge who you sleep with, but your sexuality is really none of their business. 

As long as it involves another consenting adult, and you are okay with it, nothing else matters.

9. An explanation for your career choices

If you are a workaholic or an entrepreneur who has a lot on their plate, you might have to work twelve hours a day instead of eight. 

As a result, you may be neglecting your personal and social life, missing out on spending valuable moments with your family and friends. 

Whatever you choose, however, is your decision and if it works with your life goals you don't have to explain yourself to anyone.

10. An explanation for your relationship choices

Everyone who cares about you is going to have their say about your romantic relationship(s). 

They might say that you and your partner are not a good fit, and you should find someone else. 

Even though their advice is welcome, it shouldn’t determine how you feel about your partner and you definitely don’t have to explain why you choose to leave or stay in that relationship.

Essentially there is only one possible conclusion to this. 

There is no reason to do something unless it makes you happy. 

The secret to living a full and happy life is to free yourself from the obligation to explain how you live your life. 

If there’s anything you don’t want to do, follow your instincts and don't do it. 

Once you realize you don’t owe anyone an explanation, you will start to be truly happy.

Hey! It's Sunday

HEY

It's SUNDAY

The first day of the Christian week.

A replacement for the Sabbath of old and therefore a day of rest

But we do every other thing other but rest on this day

But first, go to church and ensure that you pray not only for yourself but for SOMEBODY else.

Knock on HEAVEN's GATE for someone else

For a moment, just forget about yourself and your myriad of challenges

Lift someone up before the Lord

And surely a thank you is waiting for you

Let someone be able to say for your sake, God lifted me up

The reward is exceedingly above our expectation.

So today, go to CHURCH

God bless you abundantly

The Man To Be CEO

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.

Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. 

He called all the young executives in his company together.

He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you. "The young

executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you.

"I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO." 

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.

Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed.

Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing.

Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however, he just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the

seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.

Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.

But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing

moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was

amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. 

They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives. Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My,

what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. 

"Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to

bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives,

"Behold your next Chief Executive Officer!

His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. "How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water

it, and bring it back to me today. 

But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers.

When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the

only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the

new Chief Executive Officer!"

* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust 

* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends 

* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment 

* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective 

* If you plant hard work, you will reap success 

* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation 

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.

Think about this for a minute....

Do you know what the Relationship is between your two eyes? 

They blink together, they move together, they cry together, they see things together, and they sleep together,

but they never see each other; ....that's what friendship is..

Your aspiration is your motivation, 

your motivation is your belief, 

your belief is your peace, 

your peace is your target,

your target is heaven,

and life is like hard core torture without it! 

Live a sincere Life! 

It pays! 

God bless!

6 Things That Happy People Avoid Like The Plague

 Happiness is a choice that everyone can make in their lifetime.

The key to happiness is simply in the way you view yourself and the world around you.

There are millions of people who are truly happy while there are others who create obstacles that prevent them from achieving happiness.

Happy people have habits that keep them happy while the unhappy people remain depressed. Below is a list of the 6 things happy people avoid doing.

1. Thinking Negatively

Unhappy people turn a blind eye to all the right things in the world and only focus on the wrong.

They can easily be spotted from miles away.

People who think negatively always end up being depressed and unhappy.

They are the miserable people who always complain about anything and everything and are always expecting negative outcomes.

Happy people are optimistic people who always view the glass as half full and are always looking for more in their lives.

They know the problems our world faces but keep an eye on the positives.

Bad things and good things happen, and happy people know that good and bad things are a way of the world.

Happy people are well aware of the global issues, but only choose to see what is right.

When bad things happen, fix it, and focus on the good things around you.

When you think positively, you experience happiness.

2. Blaming Other People

Unhappy people always blame other people when things go wrong and believe that they are the reason for their misery.

They lack confidence in people and believe that other people cannot be trusted.

They believe that there is not enough fortune to be shared, and people are always stealing from their own.

Blaming other people is psychologically disempowering and is the easiest way to unhappiness.

Blaming people causes misery and creates a circle of despair.

To be happy, you need to take personal responsibility even when the problems may be caused by someone else.

Happy people believe in trusting their fellow men and know that no one is out to get them.

They know that they possess a blueprint that cannot be taken away from them by anyone.

They are aware of the infinite possibilities and take daily steps to achieve their goals.

Happy people are focused on their ability and manage their lives and their happiness effectively.

They focus on their options even when the outside forces are closing up on them.

3. Seeking Revenge

 Holding on to resentment only intensifies one’s misery and sadness.

Seeking revenge creates resentment that eats up people from the inside causing stress and depression.

Unhappy people harbor the evil feelings of revenge and can never rise above them.

The past always remains the past for a reason.

There is a special feeling of freedom when you let go of the anger and give up on seeking revenge.

Happy people know that seeking revenge will never bring them the happiness they desire.

They may be deeply hurt, but they never try to avenge.

Happy people always make peace, forgive and move on with their lives.

When you learn to forgive, you enjoy a unique type of freedom and let go of the past.

To be happy, you must make peace with the past and focus entirely on the future.

Rise above revenge, live that up to karma and create your own happiness.

4. Giving Up

Unhappy people give up simply when the effort they are putting into something does not lead to the expected results.

They put in a limited effort to help themselves and constantly see themselves as victims of life.

They have negative attitudes and can never find their way through to the other side.

If you are constantly doing easy things and wishing that things were different, and you are not putting in enough effort, you are heading to failure and unhappiness.

Always dream and hope and create your way out of any situation.

Pull yourself together and look for a solution.

Happy people know that life is hard and bounce through tough times with their heads held high.

They persevere towards problem-solving, get themselves out of the mess and never consider themselves as victims.

Accomplish the goals you have set without relenting and you will enhance your happiness.

Failure is temporary.

Get up and try again.

5. Gossiping

Miserable people live in the past and make their misery a topic of conversation.

They engage in the petty behavior of gossiping once they have run out of words to express their unhappiness.

People who gossip are those whose lives are not fulfilling making them pathetic and jealous.

They seek to find faults in others so as to feel better. Negative talk only leads to further misery and unhappiness.

There is no reason for a happy person to gossip about someone or act jealous towards others.

Happy people are content with themselves, want to improve and always ignore the societal pressure.

They never compare themselves to others and take pleasure in celebrating the success of others.

You can only feel positive vibes from across the rooms of happy people.

Always think before you speak and if you have nothing good to say, do not

say anything at all.

6. Having Expectations

Unrealistic expectations most often set us up for painful disappointments.

People face the big challenge of learning to accept people just as they are. Expectation is a very big word that is quite hard and static.

When constantly expecting others to be in a specific way, we are regularly disappointed and unhappy.

Happy people go into situations having open minds without any pressure of living up to the preconceived expectations.

They know their value and do not look up to other people to confirm their self-worth.

View life optimistically but always leave room for other outcomes and it may just turn out to be way better than you hoped for.

You are more than capable of creating your own happiness, therefore, look within yourself and never at others to be happy.

Regardless of the outcome, stay in the present and let life run its course.
