1. Here’s a story about how a speaker taught two major important lessons with a 500 Naira note.  The speaker got out his wallet & pulled out a 500 Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this 500 naira note?" Lots of hands went up. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout "Me!" "Me!" one would wonder who the lucky one would be who the speaker would choose. And also you would wonder why he would simply give away 500 naira. Even as the shouts of "I want it" grew louder, a young woman ran down the aisle. She ran up onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the five 500 naira note from his hand. "Well done, young lady," said the speaker into the microphone. The speaker simply said "Most of us just sit and wait for good things to happen. That's of no use. You've got to make things happen. Make a move" 'simply thinking about doing something is of no use and not good enough'. Ou...

"I can't live without you" is a statement of addictive dependency. It implies dependency on another person other than God to sustain your life. Though people who talk like this may do it trying to get the other person to love them back and feel sorry for them but the latter is what it will be. Of course they might feel sorry for you and stay with you but that's all it will be because true love doesn't thrive on pity.  Another statement in error is "You complete me" this is another false statement that implies lack of confidence in your self and also you have a void which you think someone should fill. No one should complete you, if you are not complete, you shouldn't get married in the first place. Singleness implies completeness, wholeness, uniqueness etc. You must first be single and stand out before you can be married. You don't have to be perfect to be complete, you just have to know and trust in the perfect God, and then have a perfect v...

Nathaniel Bassey  ~ ” We live in an increasingly unstable and uncertain world. Where things seem to be spiraling out of control by the minute. We see great nations and economies brought to their knees. Terrorists groups intensifying their evil campaign ; Even in places that where safe and peaceful. Immorality, profanity and things that were once taboos are being signed into law as acceptable ways of life and living. How about natural disasters? Floods, record breaking fires, earth quakes and the likes. The world media, especially the news media have taken advantage of these events as business opportunities to sell, propagate and proliferate fear and anxiety by hyping these events. And as Jesus rightfully said, the heart of men are failing them for the things coming upon the earth.But thank God for Jehovah SHAMMAH, our every present help in a chaotic world. I was at House on the Rock church in Aba during a revival program. And as we worshipped, these words began ...

Most of us go through life unaware of how our environment shapes our behavior. When we experience “road rage” on a crowded freeway, it’s not because we’re sociopathic monsters. It’s because the temporary condition of being behind the wheel in a car, surrounded by rude, impatient drivers, triggers a change in our otherwise jovial demeanor. We’ve unwittingly (and that is the key word) placed ourselves in an environment of impatience, competitiveness, and hostility – and it alters us. What I’ve noticed about successful people, is that they are never completely oblivious to their environment. They do one very important thing differently: They anticipate and prepare for what is next, and, they do what they can to create the environment they want when they get there. Take for instance trial attorneys – they don’t ask questions to which they don’t already know the answers! Their entire line of questioning is based on one thing: anticipation. Another example, a public offici...

T his must be very surprising coming from a man I guess but YES! That’s my stand. I hate wife beating since it shows off how immature and stupid any man involved in such a shameful act is. It is disgusting and barbaric! Permit me to say this, any man who beats his wife for any reason, has a problem and not the wife; no matter what she does. In many cases research has shown that this same men can not even stand up to other men in a challenge. In the first place we must understand that women are delicate and tender. As a man, you can’t compare your physical strength with your wife's since she is made with just one rib from you. It’s quite amazing how many men are immature in marriages today.  People marry for the very wrong reasons and end up in "hell" in their marriages therefore in reacting to the situation instead of responding to it, they resort to wife-beating either because they feel they can’t take the nagging from their wife anymore or just out of shear frustra...

This question arose in my mind after reading a particular passage since everyone believes in trust as a major determinant of success in relationships, especially in marriage. after going through this article, we will find out the reason we must not trust in our spouse in anyway and how that can be a major cause of breakdown in marriages. Now in our day to day relationships it has been said by many relationship experts that in every relationship two people must trust themselves to be able to survive together for long. I had exactly the same view until i came across this scripture in the life manual as i call it "The Bible". Micah 7:5 "Don't trust your neighbor, don't confide in your friend. watch your words even with your spouse." as i read this scripture i was shocked. But when i began comparing scriptures with scriptures i discovered that trust is affiliated with the word "perfection". which means you cannot trust something that is imperfe...
