IDENTIFYING WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN OUR LIVES....BY A NEMERULEZ BLOG LOVER, REAGAN SPENCER

Have you taken time to critically evaluate the way you have lived since the beginning of this year? It is important that we spend some time to think about the activities we have given our time to and the things we have prioritised.  Most often, we are not aware of how much we have limited ourselves either by being complacent or by engaging in the wrong activities; sometimes the wrong activities might not necessarily be illegal or immoral, but completely parallel to a purpose driven life. The essence of this piece is to help us understand as well as think through what is really important in our lives. Life can be so engaging such that the demand for your time and attention will be on the high even to a point where priorities are misplaced. When there is a drift away from what is ideal, most often, it is not a sharp drift that impacts us harshly like the death of a loved one or loss of job, or any of such sharp drifts...but while we pay attention to the urgent things and leave o

HOW THANKFUL ARE YOU?

My mom thought my siblings and I how to say "thank you" no matter how little or big the gesture is.  Most times, my spouse, my friends (colleagues) are surprised at how much of those magic words come out of my mouth at a very seemingly small gesture. Thanks to my mother. That is why it is important for mothers to know how much influence they have on their children.  You can never be thankful enough my dear friend,  because you have no idea how much someone  out there needs care, but no one to come through for them.  So, even if it is a piece of handkerchief, accept it with a cheerful heart and say "thank you ". GOD blesses a genuinely grateful heart. It pays to be thankful.  Do not wait for the big things to be thankful! Start with the little!  Have a beautiful week. 

NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT- THE ATTITUDE OF A VICTOR! HAPPY NEW WEEK FRIENDS!!!

Happy New Week friends. I am so excited about this week and I hope you are too.  Just want to encourage us all to keep at it. Discover your area of specialty (it is not too late to start). Keep putting in your best, even though you might not be getting the best response. Be faithful. Keep believing that one day your time will come. I know that there is every tendency to feel like giving up or maybe trying out an illegal way of making a quick money.  As tempting as that might seem, please do not get involved in any foul play. There is no gain in it. Always know that there is a reward for those who persist in doing good. Evil does not prevail over good. So as you go out there this week, bear in mind that you are a conqueror and conquerors do not accept defeat. They win.  Situations may beat you face down, but you know what, get back up and knock it off! A victor never says never!  That should be your attitude this week.  Learn to overcome your challenges by knowing who y

LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS...

Image
I hear people say,  "love alone does not hold or make a great marriage". If love (not lust) isn't the key to a marriage, I wonder what kind of relationship that would be.  When love is the basis of your marriage,  you would not hurt your spouse (intentionally), you would treat your spouse with understanding and settle your arguement without having to drag it until it becomes irreconcilable, you would weather the challenges of life together,  without apportioning blame on the other, you would build a relationship that is based on true friendship.  GOD is love and HE is the originator of marriage. And that should be your start off point if you truly want to enjoy the bliss of marriage. Love is all that matters. That is the weapon every couple needs to overcome challenges, except the marriage was solely built on lust, money and other material gains. Do not pay attention to the lies that the world is trying to make true!

PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS TREAT YOU THE WAY YOU LET THEM

I remember an incident that happened at my former place of work, when  a colleague treated me very badly.  I felt so bad because i did not expect it from her. But later the same day, one of my colleagues came to me and told me to forget about what happened and never let that bother me.  She also told me something that really helped me all through my stay in the job. She said before she leaves her house,  she prepares her mind to face any challenge and that she doesn't expect human beings not to be human. That really helped me, though it was not easy,  but I was able to learn how to deal with situations without having to fall out with colleagues or allow myself to get hurt. It does not matter how good you are, people will always step on your toes. Do not expect people to spare you because you have a good nature. Sometimes, people would intentionally want to hurt your feelings. Do not let yourself lose to negative opinions and suggestions.  The Bible says " we should be as

MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERY DAY.  DO NOT LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE. 

REFLECTION

Have you been in a position where you are very sure that "this is no longer patience, but a total waste of time"?  Often times, we ignore that still small voice that tells us "this is the right way to go or no, you shouldn't be here". But because we feel we have gone too deep in the mess, the mistakes  seem unfixable, we resort to accepting what should not be.  What have you done to really know what position you are in? There is always a time to resolve your life. 

THE CREATIVE FORCE

Think of this for a moment. Look at your hand. It looks solid, but it's really not. If you put it under a proper microscope, you'd see a mass of energy vibrating... Bob Proctor We have a mass of energy in our bodies. When we look around us, even at our own bodies, what we see is the tip of the iceberg. Consequent upon this, we need to be in the know of how energetic our spirit is and how to engage it properly towards the realisation of our dreams.  According to Charles Haarel...the universal mind is not only intelligence, but it is substance, and this substance is the attractive force which brings electrons together by the law of attraction so they form atoms; the atoms in turn are brought together by the same law and form molecules; molecules take objective forms and so we find that the law is the creative force behind every manifestation, not only of atoms, but of worlds, of the Universe, of everything of which the imagination can form any conception.  Culled f

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START SEEING YOUR WIFE AS A COMPETITION....

Image
A man needs to be sensitive to his wife's needs, that does not make him less of a man, rather it makes him even more valued and respected. Marriage is not a market place filled with competition, but a place of quiet and rest.  When a man starts seeing his wife as a competition, he will become vulnerable to friends ill advises against his wife and before you know it, his wife will become his enemy whom he would want to get rid of by all means.  This was the case between  a couple that were living happily, until the man started seeing his wife's efforts to support him as a competition. His friends succeeded in making him believe that his wife was his enemy.  Imagine that! He went ahead with the plot to get rid of his wife but some good friends who noticed the drastic change in his behaviour intervened with prayers and counselling.  He opened up by telling them how far he had gone with his plans against his wife. The situation was salvaged, but what do you think could

HERE IS MY EASTER HEALTH TIPS FOR YOU- OIL PULLING

An adage says " health is wealth". A friend of mine complained about bleeding gum few weeks ago and she was already getting worried, so I introduced her to some thing I have been doing for a while now, that has helped in keeping my teeth and gum healthy and it has been amazing. It is called OIL PULLING. Oil Pulling is actually an Ayurvedic (ancient health care treament evolved from India) natural remedy for improving health.  It involves using pure oils to pull out harmful bacteria, fungi and other harmful organisms from your mouth, teeth and throat.   Here's the procedure: When you wake up in the morning, before you eat or drink anything, put a tea spoon of either coconut oil or seasame oil (I use coconut oil because of its health benefits) in your mouth and gaggle or swish around for about 5 minutes and Spit out into your toilet. Then rinse your mouth thoroughly and clean as normal. Of course, you will brush afterwards.  The result of oil pullin

As we commemorate the death of our LORD JESUS,  let us all know that we are the very essence of this huge sacrifice. You and I were in HIS heart when was nailed to the cross - to redeem us back to HIS FATHER, our maker. Easter season should remind us that we are loved and honoured by GOD. JESUS died and rose from the dead for you and me. We are not mourning JESUS, rather we are celebrating our risen LORD and saviour.  We are celebrating our victory in JESUS! So, let us all rejoice because JESUS lives!!!

"MY DREAMS "BY A NEMERULEZ BLOG LOVER

As I was having my hot Cappuccino...with a smile on her face she asked me...what do you dream of? I paused to think about if for a moment and resolved to give a brief trail of my dreams. When I was a little boy, my dreams were centred on the girl I had a crush on...I always saw her in my dreams...we were always holding hands, running under the rain, playing games and innocently enjoying the company of each other. I remember a story book my mum had bought for me which I liked so much, she came across it and I didn't hesitate to hand it over to her...although she didn't ask for it. On my way home I thought of what I was going to tell my mum...hopefully she wouldn't ask and guess what? She never did...that was a safe landing for my young and innocent affection.    As I grew older, my dreams changed...I started dreaming about the action movies I saw. I always saw myself pulling unusual stunts, doing major and minor acrobatics, and engaging in all forms of physical heroi

IS HE MORE OF A TAKER THAN A GIVER

It is important to know that GOD made man to be a provider and a giver. The man has been given the mandate to provide and care for his woman. Even though GOD made the woman to be a helper- and this scripture has been misquoted as most women are now taking too much of the men's responsibilities all in the name of help and leaving the men with little or no task at all. A lot of women engage in manual labour to make ends meet,  but in the beginning ,it was not so. And that does not mean that a woman should be lazy- absolutely not! A woman should be skillful, productive and should be able to offer wise counsels and support to her husband. That said. Now here's the big question for my single friends who are hoping to get married someday.  You must be able to answer this question thoroughly to be sure you are with the right man.   Is he much more of a taker than a giver?  If his demands on your resources ( money, time, energy, intellect etc) or your body are more than he

THE COLOURFUL DESIGN OF LIFE....

Image
If you pause and think about it for a while, you will possibly be stunned as I was when I engaged my mind to look at the world from a "helicopter" view. As you step out of your home, you see people engaged in different activities; people going to their different places of work, the traffic, the screeching of tyres, the honking of car horns, children crossing the road, people on the pedestrian lane, people selling and all other activities that are peculiar to a communist society...all these activities come with their uniqueness and the very touch they bring to our lives.  When we momentarily look away from ourselves and pay attention...(maybe not in detail) to the roles people play in their little way, we begin to appreciate the division of labour and how the societal activities add colour to the daily fulfilment that we experience. I usually find it very easy to walk to a grocery store close by when I want to do a mini shopping, It's quite convenient for me b

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT....

The moment we share with certain people in our lives stands out significantly when we think about how it affects them. I know it's quite a generic statement to believe that everyone wants to be loved and cared for, whether or not it cuts across different personalities, it's a fundamental reality.  As I watch my little daughter respond to the love and attention that comes from me, my unconscious reaction is to express more of the affection. As she utters her babyish words I believe she expects me to understand what she's trying to communicate given that we have experienced some level of koinonia.  The joy and fulfilment we enjoy in life comes from what we make out of the relationships we have built. The growth and ultimate success of an organisation hinges on the clientele base they have built overtime by respecting, valuing, and rendering beyond the norm kind of services. That's the beauty and exchange that comes from life. We are the first-hand initiators of
