Hello There! Welcome to Nemerulez' Blog

Today, the welfare company of my local church conducted a free blood pressure check on her members, and it will shock you to know that most of the results called for serious attention. Yours truly also did not have a good result and I keep asking myself how?  You see, as healthy and beautiful you look, If you do not make out time to take care of yourself- your health,  you will wear out! We hear cases of young people who "just slumped" and died! That is as a result of high blood pressure. We have so ignored ourselves because of the worries of tomorrow and as such, we do not take time off. All we do is "work work work, " ,and no time at all to "rest rest rest!" I plead with you my dear friends, let us pay attention to our health. Make checking your blood pressure a weekly routine and create time to rest your body- very important! It is best to be healthy to enjoy the fruits of your hard work! Moms and Dads, you all are doing well.. ensure to take

Sometimes, things have to go wrong in order to go right. This I realised in the long run- of life's experience! In that situation you are right now, see GOD! DO NOT QUIT!  

Have an awesome weekend friends. It's Christmas, let's show some love. Help those who can't repay you. Touch a life, no matter how little. It will amaze you how a handful of meal will be a blessing to a family who do not have anything to eat. It will amaze you how a dime will go a long way to put food on someone's table. It will amaze you how you would want to slap yourself for worrying-  when you hear of someone else's story!  Plan for tomorrow, but never worry about tomorrow! 

It is never too late to take a step in the right direction. It is never too late to become the person you are capable of being. Things can change in any age. You have the opportunity to create yourself a life full of peace and free of regrets. All you need is make up your mind to take the right step now!

"At some level in relationships, we use little words and phrases that have no meaning, such as, 'Well, whatever you would like to do, dear.' If that's how you feel.' Let's talk about it sometime.' 'Really?'' That's nice dear.' Clichés have moved from unintelligible sounds to actual words, but it's not really much of a climb. You will never build a deep relationship with this kind of communication, but you will provoke a volcano in your spouse." Wisdom, sure is profitable to direct- anyone who desires an understanding, happy, successful marriage!

We believe in our children by encouraging and embracing their dreams, by showing interest in their adventures, their crafts, by not pushing them away when they fail a task, by the words of mouth- telling them "yes they can", by never abusing them, by affirming them when they come up with some great imaginative skills . Imagination is a wonderful gift! We parents are given the privilege to encourage our children to think about all the things they can do, to believe in them and to affirm them.  As parents, it is very important that we put our children through when  they fail in their tasks- when their adventures fail to work . It is our duty to debrief them, encourage them to talk about their feelings and experience, to discuss what they can learn from it and to help them move forward. Let us be there to offer our supports to our children so as to avoid permanent emotional scars. That will be very unhealthy for your child even as he or she becomes an adult.   I

Ain't no door "thank you" can't open! Have you said "thank you" to GOD, your spouse, your parents, you child(ren), your workers (even though you're paying them)?

Many times in our lives, we have been dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we made and the circumstances that came our way. We felt as though we're worthless. But no matter what you have been through or you are going through, do not allow it to define who you are! Every challenge is working out the special you! Keep the faith! 

The world's worst mums are not the wicked ones but the over protective ones.  I went to pick my Children from school one day; because i was a little early, the gate was not opened, so i waited outside with others. A man walked up to me, after introductions, he asked me whether the children i picked the other day were mine, i said yes. He told me he liked how smart they looked, i told him the reason is simple, i REFUSED to allow their mum to spoil them with food in the name of love.  It is not on food alone that some mothers show their 'LOVE'' for their children. The next is over protection, especially on their male children.  Dear mothers, if you succeed in making your male children behave like you, you have not made them men but women. Men are WIRED differently and are meant to show early signs of independence. It is not rebellion, it is NATURAL.  Life is competition, when you make them depend entirely on you because you always want to know and dete

God revealed his laws regarding marriage in Genesis 2:24-25, and one of those foundational truths is the Law of Purity. "Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed." This took place before sin entered the Garden of Eden. Did you know the name Eden means "pleasure and delight"? God didn't just create marriage, but He put Adam and Eve in a place made for their pleasure. When He created Adam and Eve, He created them naked. That's significant. After The Fall, the first married couple decided they didn't want to be naked in front of each other. They were ashamed, and tried to hide. They used fig leaves to cover their genitals. Think about the symbolism of this. The genitals are where men and women are most different. They are also the place where men and women are most sensitive. These are the areas th

Monday is few hours away, and a lot of people are already getting agitated. I used to hate Mondays and I still do, sometimes. But I have more control now more than I used to feel about Mondays, because I had to accept the fact that Mondays will always come!  Anyone knows what am talking about?  The thought of not having enough rest over the weekend, the unfinished piles of work on your table waiting for you, the mad rush to work so you can meet up with monday meetings and terrible traffics, the school runs, the list goes on, could make you get agitated at every single encounter. But you know, your unwillingness to accept the fact that some things are the way they are, like Mondays (lol) will only keep your blood pressure high and your contentment level low!  Friend, I know how you feel; but like I always tell myself, be of good cheer! Do not let yourself get overwhelmed by responsibilities. Two ways I was able to overcome the fears of Mondays were; to inculcate the habit

I heard this touching story about late Steve Jobs, (the founder of the Ipad or IPhone you hear about or probably use- the CEO of Apple, one of the most valuable companies in the world, a billionaire many times over and one of the most respected people in the world even after his death!) and I felt I should share it with you; someone might get encouraged by it. I learnt he was born out of wedlock, to graduate student parents. He was considered a mistake, which made his parents to give him up for adoption thereafter! He was adopted and raised in a working class family, and his foster father fixed cars for a living. He dropped out of college after one semester only. His highest qualification was in high school. While he was in college, he slept on the floor in friends rooms, returned Coke bottles to make money.  In 1985, he was fired very publicly, from the very company he founded (Apple), after losing a power struggle with the board of directors.  In 1997, he returned as CEO af

Our patience when we have nothing; and our attitude when we have everything! Hmmm!  My prayer everyday is, "may I need GOD desperately when I have everything, more than when I didn't have nothing." When you have GOD, HE will keep your life in check! 

"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, It only saps today of its joy." Leo F. Buscalgia." From experience, worry has this subtle way of removing your attention from the very important things- things that are worth being thankful for; your success and victory!  When you have a problem, the ideal thing to do is to find a solution to it, but worrying multiples the problem and makes it look like solutions are far-fetched.  Worry clogs your mind and prevents you from thinking straight, takes your focus off from what GOD can do and keeps it on what the devil can do.  Arthur Somers Roche describes worry as, "a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained." This is so true! Quit worrying about things you do not have control over! Worrying paralyses! So instead of worrying, begin to count your blessings and name them one by one, you will be surprised how much GOD has done

If you are pretending to be who you are not in order to attract and marry a rich guy or a beautiful and successful lady, you are digging a deep pit for yourself. That relationship will be full of problems!  Pretense is a false claim of who or what you are not! And as sad as it is, most people do not like sincere and straight forward people- which is why the world is the way it is! Seriously, most friendships and relationships have been marred because "people" love to be pretended to. They do not like to hear the truth and as such, people they call friends live in great pretense, putting up a facade, yet at the end, they are devastated and traumatised when the truth finally comes out- when their so called friends display their true selves!  Lack of truth and integrity kills relationships! The greatest thing to happen to anyone is when you are surrounded with real friend(s) and not wolves in sheep clothings! 

"Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set. This is true of earthly as well as heavenly things. Even the man whose object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make great personal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object; and how much more so he who would realise a strong and well-poised life."  My mom will always say "Discipline is indeed painful, but the pain is highly worth it."

Help as many people as you can, even when it does not benefit you.  Have we really come to this point when we give selflessly without being a matcher or a taker?  Am Seriously thinking right now!!!

I wish you all a beautiful, happy, joyous, blessed, fun filled month! I have a feeling that you all are going to have cause to laugh excessively this month, because something good is about to happen  to you in this celebration season!  On this note, let me quickly tell you something that will be of great help to you. There is every likelihood for depression to set it at this time as a result of not meeting your set goals. I can relate with you. The year is just few days away to wrap up! Flashing back to 31st of December, 2014 with all the high expectations we had for 2015, it seemed like nothing happened! It is very normal to start asking yourself"am I ok?", "what is wrong with me? if by now, i barely achieved nothing!" And then depression sets in!  Please dear friend, do not give in to depression! It will only worsen the situation by making you feel hopeless! Give thanks to GOD that you are alive, then every other thing in due time will fall into place
