Hello There! Welcome to Nemerulez' Blog

Did you know? The human brain is more complex than you think. Your brain is about 2% of your body weight, but it uses 20% of the energy you consume every day. It takes up to 30 minutes to form a memory, and we can only store about 7 things in our brains at any given time (though this number differs between people). Your brain has about 86 billion neurons—that's the same number as there are stars in our galaxy—and each one is connected to 1000+ other neurons! Awesome facts! Knowledge is fun right? 😁😁😁

When we speak to others, we often have a greater impact. On the other hand, when we speak to ourselves, the impact is even much greater. The words we speak become the house we live in.  Words have energy and power. Words have the ability to help, heal, hinder, hurt, humiliate, raise, lift, bring to life, make or mar.  Words are powerful! Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity.  So, oftentimes, encourage yourself! Tell yourself all the good things you need to hear. Don't wait for anyone to tell you what you should tell yourself.  Speak life into you. Heal yourself. Raise yourself. Bless yourself. Encourage yourself. It doesn't matter who or what disconnected, hold strongly on every word you have received from GOD and run with it-speak it with knowledge and revelation! 

Take time away from people who do not support you. Take care of your body and mind through good nutrition, exercise and quality sleep.  Live a life that is true to yourself and be authentic.  You've come so far, but there's still so much further to go. Don't give up! 

Life is more than just a collection of events. It is the sum of every moment that makes it worth living. So cheer up and count your blessings. Stay the course and have faith in GOD.🤗 Photo Credit: Christina Ifeoluwa 

I believe in positivity. I believe that it is all about what you do with the time you have, how you treat the people around you, and how you take care of yourself.  I believe in always looking at the bright side of things. It is easy to be negative when things aren't going well or our way—but if we are always looking for ways to improve ourselves, there's no reason why we can't find happiness every day. You are not a victim! It is time to throw out the old, tired way of thinking about life and embrace a healthier and happier mindset. Be kind to yourself and be grateful. Don't give up hope and never stop believing in yourself. Photo Credit: Christina Ifeoluwa

1. A human has about 11,000 taste buds. 2. The fastest land animal is the cheetah which can run up to 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour). 3. The world's largest mammal is the blue whale which weighs up to 200 tons (180 metric tons). 4. The longest recorded flight by an insect was by a giant weta beetle that flew for 22 hours, 6 minutes and 9 seconds covering over 15 miles (24 kilometers). 5. There are more cell phones than there are people in the world today.  6. A Crocodile can look at its reflection in the water and think, "Oh, I'm a Crocodile".  Knowledge is fun right? 😀😀😀

Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own power- a  phrase from the book, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.  Humility, defined as the quality of being modest, is a key trait that can significantly improve our relationships, career prospects and overall well-being. Humility is not a negative quality as some people in the world today perceive, but it's actually associated with improved cognitive functioning and higher levels of cooperation, team work and helping behaviour. You don't need to be religious to be humble. Humility is not being shy or quiet or self-effacing. You can be humble without being humiliated or self critical. Humility can make you genuinely want to listen to others and offer solution(s). Being humble is not at odds with being proud; it simply means you can acknowledge your accomplishments, while also acknowledge your debt to others who helped you along the way. READ THE LAST LINE AGAIN!

I admire people who write or share about their life experiences, because I feel that it can be a great source of inspiration for others. These experiences allow people to learn from them, and  add values to their own lives. I see people who share their stories as strong, because it takes a lot of courage for someone to open up to speak on what literally broke them, and how they overcame; just to encourage and motivate people. I admire these people. They are brave!  So, if you have a story, at the right time, share it! I feel that when you share your story, it allows you to truly explore who you are and the strength of your character.

Your life will always be a reflection of your mindset and belief system.  Your believing has results that follow it. Whether you believe a truth or a lie, the results are proof of your mindset and belief system. Which is why it is a risk to believe anything, because whatever you believe has something that it attracts to your life. If you believe defeat, you will experience defeat. If you believe success, you will experience success. The environmental conditioning, which is one of the ways by which our minds are conditioned is so powerful that it can alter the genetic conditioning. A lot of us are products of our environments; and truth be told, majority of your decisions, failures, successes could be traced to our environments. But the good news is that, we can chart the course of our lives to be even better, by transforming our minds and unlearning those beliefs that held us bound and refused to let us rise. That's a good way to start living the life of purpose.

    Why do people devalue what they have? It is because of familiarity. When you live with something or someone for so long and  always have access to it,  you tend to take it for granted. Do not let familiarity make you devalue what you have. Always place value for what you have.

Sometimes back, I had an argument with a close friend who thought I was harsh when I turned down someone who addressed me as her friend. Because she's friends with her and we had some sort of proximity, she started addressing me as her friend and would pick offence when I wasn't forth coming with some information or letting her into my space. I've always known that proximity does not equate friendship-genuine friendship. Thanks to learning the hard way! There must be a standard to measure friendships/relationships. There are general relationships and there are seasonal relationships. But there are covenant or destiny relationships. That standard must be met before you can consider someone as your friend. This is not the time to joke with your life and destiny. The people out there are not as genuine and innocent as you, so you must be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove.  Seasons come and go, but there are relationships that have stood the test of time.

 

I lost my immediate elder sister in 2012. Today, the 24th September was supposed to be her birthday. It still hurts so deep-the wound cuts even deeper knowing that her life was cut short at the prime of her life. But, I want to thank GOD for the Grace HE gave my family and I to bear this irreparable loss. She will forever be in our hearts.  Happy posthumous birthday my amazing, sweet and loving sister. I know you're having a blast in heaven.  We miss you so much. Rest on. We will continue to stay strong and make you proud. We love you. ❤️❤️💖💖

Someone once said to me, that the devil is a patient listener. He pays attention to every single word you say. I couldn't agree more. I knew someone who would be so patient to listen to everything I said, but I never knew that I was confinding in the wrong person. The person leveraged on my vulnerability, and used every single word I said as a weapon against me. It was like the world crumbled on me. But well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and wiser.  Which is why, we must be very careful who we confined in; who we open up to. And also, we must choose carefully who we allow into our space. That someone wants you does not mean you should want them. 

Your calling is going to crush you in a faithful way. If you are called to mend the brokenhearted, you are going to wrestle with broken-heartedness. If you are called to prophesy, you are going to struggle to control your thoughts. If you are called to preach and to teach, you will be sifted for the wisdom that anoints your message.  If you are called to empower, your self-esteem will be attacked, your successes will be hard fought. Your calling will come with cups, thorns and sifting that are necessary for your mantle to be authentic, humble and powerful. Your crushing won't be easy, because your assignment is not easy. Your oil is not cheap.~PATRICK WEAVER.  It makes sense to me now! Help me LORD.

 

Self control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!" A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances.  A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances. .... An excerpt from As a Man Thinketh. By James Allen.

There are a thousand and one reasons why we should constantly read books. I wish I grew up loving to read as much as I do now, because with just a few knowledge I've acquired through reading, some of the mistakes I made, I believe, could have been averted. We are students of the Spirit and as long as we are alive, we must strive for knowledge, because everyday, fresh knowledge, ideas come up and if you are willing, you will learn. So far, from my own experience with reading, here are a few reasons I think you should constantly read books. 1. Book transforms lives. 2. Books develop wonderful experiences. 3. Books help you achieve life goals. 4. Books help you grow. 5. Books build your self esteem. 6. Books provide emotional strength. 7. Books provide spiritual experience. 8. Books provide physical and mental relaxation. 9. Books increase knowledge. 10. Books do not require company. 

Toxic positivity is now the new wokeness. Be careful in these last days. Your goodness could still be your only  essence of existence that flows through you; that unites your  body, mind and spirit. 

What is my purpose? Who am I? All these questions we ask ourselves at some point in our lives. We aim to answer some of these questions as we unpack, unlearn whatever ideas we adopted while we journeyed through life, the challenges, the relationships we entertained, the things we read and watched, and so on. We all have an assignment. We did not happen by chance. There is a purpose for which we were created. And it is a privilege that by Grace, GOD chose us.  It is very important to know that for you  to step into your purpose, you must first of all have a knowledge of who you are and what you're created for; which only comes by having a relationship with GOD, even though ideologists may not agree. But truth is, it is a must, if you want clarity, sustained vision and guidance- for your purpose. Remember, we are GODS' masterpiece. HE created us for a purpose and only in HIM will we find and actualize it.

The relationships that silence us are the most problematic.  I was once friends (in relationships) with people who felt that only their opinion mattered, and that I did not have the right to an opinion, as long as it was different from theirs.  But here's the good news: No matter how old you are, how dysfunctional your relationships are, or how scary the people in your life can sometimes be, you can always make a change. You can always learn how to speak up, take risks, and know your worth. You can experiment, practice, make mistakes, and move forward.  Adults are not trapped in relationships. Adults get to choose who they allow into their lives.  However, in all, never make the mistake of dishonour, because nowadays, toxic positivity has become the new wokeness.
