REFLECTION

Do not always be afraid to make mistakes. And do not envy those who tell you that they have never made mistakes. Your experiences make you have more advanced knowledge about life and how to deal with people, situations.  You are at a more advantage over these people than they can ever imagine.  In fact, count it a privilege that you have an opportunity to give it a try ones more. If you keep avoiding people(to stay away from making mistakes), how will you learn?  An adage says "a person who has never made mistakes has never achieved anything".

REFLECTION

Everything a woman has to offer to her husband is actually within her. It is not in the accumulation of outer trappings. As much as a woman has needs, so does the man.

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY!!! A HEART FELT NOTE BY DR. OLAKUNLE OLAJIDE MBBS, FWACS(Rad)MPH,CEO of Skolyte Health Systems Solutions Ltd

Image
Fellow countrymen and women, in a couple of hours,  Mohammadu Buhari (MB) would have taken the oath of office as our President and Commander in Chief of our great nation. I have used the adjective "great" out of my incurable optimism of a great Nigeria, the giant of Africa, and my resolute conviction that if well governed, it will sooner than later grow to become a giant also of the world, in every respect! Unfortunately, this giant nation, endowed with immense human and natural resources, has been held down for too long, bound by the fetters of self-inflicted retardants of poor leadership, greed, and profligacy; and an unfortunate and inexplicable inability to put in place long term national development plans and follow through with same. Any plan at all is better than no plan! President Muhammadu Buhari has the uphill task and onerous duty of redirecting our nation to its desired path of inevitable greatness without any further delay. If he gets it right from the start

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY TO ALL THE CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD💞

Image
Children are like seeds that when planted, you must take care to nurture them. Pay very close attention to every detail of their daily growth. Watch out for (weeds) and ensure you gently pull them off.  Always pray for your children and declare to them what GOD has said concerning them. Do not train your children in fear. GOD got them. The much you can do for them is to teach them the right things by doing right.  Our children are for signs and for wonders. Long live our children. May GOD in HIS infinite goodness and mercy preserve our children and may they grow to fulfil their purpose in life! AMEN!   Happy Children's day to all the children all over the world! 

HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO MY PRECIOUS PARENTS!!!!!

Happy Wedding Anniversary to my precious parents.  We grew up seeing you two always together.  No hiding place for us because you supported each other and scolded us together.  I celebrate your love, unity,  one mind. Words are not enough to appreciate GOD for sending me into this world through you. Many more beautiful years I pray for you two and you shall reap the fruits of your labour.  Long live Sir Timothy and Lady Christiana. Love from your daughter...

BE AT PEACE! YOUR MAKER IS AWARE!

Did you know that GOD is in that seemly terrible situation you are in right now? Oh yes, HE is.  Remember the children of lsrael who were in slavery for 400 years. GOD actually hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he was so wicked towards the Israelites. But my Bible tells me that GOD allowed it so that HE will make the riches of HIS glory to shine even brighter on those whom HE has shown mercy.  So my dear friend, rejoice, because GOD is working something great out for you. All you need do is to be at peace and trust HIM absolutely. You're coming out of that situation.

What you make happen for others, GOD will make happen for you.

SOMETIMES ALL WE NEED IS SOMEONE TO TALK TO. SOMEONE TO LISTEN AND TELL YOU EVERYTHING WILL BE FIND - NOT AN ADVISER.

For GOD opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 

MY WEEKEND HEALTH TIP

Image
Eating (healthy) breakfast does more than give you energy and nutrients. It is a good mood changer. And you will face the rest of your day with readiness and with the right attitude for the task ahead.  Don't forget to take plenty of water. 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

There are still angels walking on the planet. Be one to find one. Like will always attract like.

REFLECTION

Sometimes, it isn't about how busy you are(which is not bad), BUT by being at the right place at the right time. One moment of encounter can put an end to your years of struggle. Keep your peace and quiet. GOD might be teaching you something that you'd need for the blessings to come.  #Nothing is a waste. Remember that the stone which the builders rejected became the CHIEF CORNER! 

AN EXCERPT FROM HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE BY NANCY L. VAN PELT

What woman in her right mind wouldn't give herself wholeheartedly to a man who loved her like CHRIST loves the church?........  Whether she has a bubbly, outgoing personality or a quiet and retiring temperament,  she walks with quiet confidence because she safely trusts her husband.   Excerpt from Highly Effective Marriage by Nancy L. Van Pelt

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Do not build your wife's hopes with good intentions and then not follow through. 

THIS IS WHAT I FEEL LIKE DOING TODAY....

Image
Bless the LORD, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless HIS HOLY NAME! Bless the LORD oh my soul, and forget not all HIS benefits.  In all,  my GOD is good to me!  How about you, what do you feel like doing today? 

SOMEONE MIGHT FIND THIS HELPFUL....

Background and Upbringing play a key role in forming an adult. For the fact that you once knew someone way back does not mean you should be friends. Ask yourself if the person is really worth keeping as a friend.  There are too many people out there with different ideologies, terrible upbringing, unhealthy past experiences, which could have coined their mindsets and way of living to be in a certain way completely different from you who had a good and comfortable background and upbringing, and would deal with life differently no matter what you have been through.  Who you let into your life can change the course of your life and destiny, negatively or positively. 

REFLECTION

We grow through what we go through! Your test could be your testimony. The children of Israel had to go through the wilderness experience before they were qualified to enter their rest- the land with giants, filled with milk an honey.  Most times, GOD wants to toughen us to be able to stand against any situation and come out victorious. If you want to have a story to tell....then this is it! Face the situation like you've got a KING who watches over you.  A lot of people out there do not have a story. They do not know what it means to face challenges.  You want to be heard? Then grow through that situation, conquer it and tell your story! This is your time!

GET POSITIVELY BUSY IN YOUR MIND!

Someone said, that a man's home is the window into his mind. I think I agree with this saying, because when you visit the home of a very creative person, you will see that creativity in the arrangement of his home, no matter how small the apartment is.  I get bored easily whenever it seems I am not coming forth with something new and you can agree with me that it can be frustrating. And most times, the only way to get myself out of boredom is by rearranging my home and giving it a completely different look and I see myself coming up with ideas that have been on my mind. Get positively busy in your mind, and by doing so, you are creating your world,  it might not happen immediately, but as they say, dreams come true.  Have a splendid week!!! 😊😊

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

IMPOSSIBILITY IS NOTHING. IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR MINDSET.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Tough people survive tough times. When situation pushes you so hard, do not give in or give up. Just remember that GOD says HE will not put more on you that  you can bear. See your deliverance in that seemly difficult situation because, after the storm comes calmness. 

REFLECTION

Someone once said, "fail early and make mistakes early, then realise your mistakes and correct them early; that will save you from making expensive mistakes in the future".  Some people failed earlier and became wiser earlier, by learning from their past failures. So, stop hating yourself because you failed; the good news is, you have become wiser. Also, try and learn from other people's failures.  As my late principal would say " failure is no crime, but low aim".

HOLD FAST ON YOUR INTEGRITY...

Never you lower your standard to get someone's approval. People should work to get to your standard in order to gain  your approval instead.  Because at the end of the day, your integrity is all that matters. Remember what Job's wife said to him "Are you still holding fast on your integrity? Curse GOD and die". Job maintained his integrity and still trusted GOD even in his predicament. And he got his reward from GOD.  So whether you are single, or married or you are a business person, whatever you are,  hold fast on your integrity. You are not being rigid, as some might insinuate. I have come to realise that people will say all sorts of things to get you to compromise your standard, but do not give in. GOD has given us the ability to choose wisely.  We all have made mistakes, one way or the other, but it is never too late to make amends and get things right. #work in progress.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY. THAT SOMEONE SMILED AT YOU AND LIKES TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD WELCOME THE FRIENDSHIP.

STOP WATERING A CONCRETE, IT CAN NEVER GROW A GARDEN!

No matter how much you water a concrete, it can never grow a garden.  Let go of that wrong relationship. Do not believe in "the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know" lies. You might argue it and bring your strong reasons about how much of your time, money, energy, efforts you have put in the relationship,  but the truth is, you cannot wear a gold ring on a pig and expect it to know it's value.  There is someone out there for you- the right person who will treat you right. Good people still exist. Stop trying to make it work. It can never work as long as you are with the wrong person.  So let go and let GOD! Preserve the watering for the best to come.

CELEBRATING THE BEST MOM IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

Image
Mom, words are not enough to say how deeply grateful I am to GOD for giving you to us (my siblings and I). You have showed so much care, love, affection, commitment, in your duty as a mother and a wife. You have tirelessly carried your family's burden without complaint. You are an epitome of GODS love and beauty. You are indeed a virtuous woman.   Thank you my sweet mother for all your prayers, advice, love, care.  You never say never! Impossibility is not in your vocabulary at all and I am grateful to GOD that I got that from you. My GOD will keep you and dad alive to reap the best of your children. Long shall you live mom! I celebrate you! 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Love does not hurt. But when you get yourself involved with someone who does not know how to love, then you will get hurt. 

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! FIND OUT WHAT SOME GREAT MOTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MOTHERHOOD. ...

Image
Motherhood is sacrifice.  When I think about my mother and all these countless sacrifices she has made for my father, siblings and I and so many people who call her mother, I would say she is a great example of a mother. It takes a mother to understand what a child does not say. A mother must be willing to give up self. A mother should make the HOLY SPIRIT her help to be able to succeed in this calling. Let me not take much of your time, let's hear what some great mothers have to say about motherhood: PASTOR ESTHER OTENAIKE: "A Mother should be a home builder display virtuous and Godly character and an epitome of God's grace.  A Mother should be loving, hospitable, gentle, and a strict disciplinarian and homemaker!! She must be found to be dependable! A Mother must be optimistic about life, encouraging her children and husband to succeed and doing them good all the days of her life.  A mother must be industrious, energetic and multi tasking coordinat

WAIT FOR IT..

A woman in labour gives birth after enduring a few hours of pain, so does the morning come forth after the darkest hour. Your miracle could just be a few patience away; wait for it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, DADDY

Happy birthday to you my beloved daddy.  Long shall you live. Many more beautiful years filled with joy and happiness. I love you...

HEART THIS...

There are great benefits in waiting. If you learn to wait and observe, you will make better choices-either in choosing a life partner or a business to venture into or whatever you desire to do.  The truth is, the thing you think you can't live without today, you may be glad to get rid of it tomorrow. #My Mentor

REFLECTION

Anyone who desires lifting must be humble!  And anyone who wants to be helped by GOD must not resort to alternatives.  Life is more than material things. 

ARE YOU HOLDING UP YOUR END OF THE BARGAIN???

Image
Every husband and wife need to sit down and meditate on this thought:  My partner married me because he or she thought the pleasing things I was doing during our courtship would continue for the rest of our lives. Am I holding up my end of this bargain? Search your soul deeply....your husband or wife might be crying in pain.  Learn this truth: Money or a career should serve a marriage; A marriage should never serve money or career.  #May GOD help us all to get it right in our marriages, because marriage, I must say, is a beautiful thing. 

A HEART TOUCHING PIECE FROM MY MENTOR....

It is very easy for one to take one for granted when one knows one's weakness. But have you taken time to think why that person chose you, of all the trillions of people in the world to confined in you? You might feel it does not matter to go about hurting people, but there is always a day of reckoning.  Learn to treat your loved ones right so you don't live in regrets, wishing you had another chance. #My Mentor

WHO YOU LISTEN TO COULD PULL YOU DOWN OR LIFT YOU...

The voice you keep listening to is the voice you will eventually believe. Be careful who you listen to and seek counsel from. It could chart your life. People have different opinions about life and how they approach situations, but always go to people with positive energy who could tell you "yes you can", who believe in you. You might have doubts, but keep listening to the truth - positive vibes from people who have understood that you could change the course of your life by having the right attitude and listening to the right confessions.  Remember, ten spies infected millions of the Israelites with their doubts and unbelief. The Israelites forgot about the grapes of blessing when they listened to the doubts, fear and unbelief of ten spies, instead of sticking to the promise GOD made to them - that the land HE shall help them posses is filled with milk and honey and that HE will go before them and defeat the giants.  It could take just one person to pull down your l

REFLECTION

Until you have reached that point when you have given up self, motherhood might mean to you, just giving birth to children. It takes a lot of sacrifice and discipline to raise Godly children, which can only be achieved through the help of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Learn how to love yourself, be content and how to make yourself happy. Because you cannot give what you do not have. 

QUESTION BY A NEMERULEZ BLOG LOVER

In those days, husbands used to be responsible to their wife's needs. A simple example is, the man used to notice when his wife's hair was due for a change and he would give her money to make a new hair.  I hear a lot of women say that their husbands do not show interest to their needs and I wonder why. What really is the issue? What could be the cause of the man not responding positively to his wife's needs? Could it be the woman's fault? But the same man would spend on the woman while they were dating and suddenly stops after they are married.  Please I need an answer, because I am single and looking forward to getting married someday and wouldn't want to experience such negligence from my spouse. Thank you Neme for this opportunity. I hope I get answers.

It is a blessing to have beautiful souls around you, because there are alot of mean souls out there. #My Mentor

SILENCE IS GOLDEN...

It is a beautiful thing to stay calm and quiet, when someone expects you to be enraged. Many times, people say hurtful things to you and of course, the human nature wouldn't tolerate the insults and humiliation. As much as you can, try not to engage in arguments with people with low thinking. You will end up getting stressed out trying to explain yourself.  The bottom line is, it is not every argument you must engage in,  no matter how pained you feel.  #My Mentor

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Life is so much brighter and more fulfilling when we focus on the things that truly matter. Never compete with anyone.

REFLECTION

True friendship is beautiful. When you are favoured by GOD to have someone you can call a true friend, cherish it, no matter what you feel the person may have benefited from you. The world is an amazing place where surprises happen every day. The person you helped today, might be your saviour tomorrow. Count your blessings, not the good you have done!
