Are you really going to die?

There are times when it really feels like you’re going to #die; when you’re choked by numerous #challenges; you know those periods of life when you see no other thing but CHALLENGES/PROBLEMS jeering at you...
But “IRO NI!” (It’s a lie!). You are not going to die any death! EXCEPT YOU decide or #AGREE to die.
It’s your #choice.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!

"Once a child...
So tender... innocent...
Sometimes lonely... insecure...
afraid... hungry... deprived...
maltreated... brutalized...
molested...
Once a child, still a child,
always a child...
SHOW some LOVE to a
CHILD Today!"

Happy Children's Day to every child all over the world!
And to everyone, HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!

...JOY to your hearts!

"Okay now, tell me... Do you really love me or you love their money more than you love me?"

Please, follow the trend of the story you’re about to read and tell us your opinion.

There’s a young man who met this lady one day so they became friends and after some time, they started a relationship. They were really getting on well but one day, the guy discovered that the lady was having an affair with another guy. (aw!) Soon after that, he got to know that it was not only one man but they were even many! What she did was to keep those guys so that she could get some fast bucks from them, not without sleeping with them anyway. You might find it funny that after a little quarrel between both of them over this new discovery, I don’t know what the lady did to the guy or should I say I don’t know what came over him, the guy gave his consent! He supported her to continue and they enjoyed the plunder together. Perhaps the guy was actually expecting that his girl would change someday and such nonsense would stop; but how wrong he was! He waited and waited until he got mad! He didn’t lose his senses anyway but he just couldn’t take it any longer. So he called his girl to a “round table” talk.

“Girl, I can’t take this anymore. I don’t intend to leave you or break up with you but you have to… I mean, you must stop this!”

But yours truly, Babe declined! Guy felt disappointed and roared,

“What do you mean you can’t stop?! Are you crazy or something? I said I’m tired of sharing you with other men. You’re not a bitch, come on!...” But it was all a waste of time. So Guy became curious,

“Okay now, tell me, I really want to know. Do you really love me or you love their money more than you love me? You have to choose one between both of us.”

Have you ever felt humiliated, reduced to nothing? I tell you something, this guy got the shocker of his life when Babe replied. You know what she said?

“MONEY! YES, MONEY! That’s what I love! What’s the point having you without money? I need the money. So please…”( :o )

Hmmm… Will wonders ever end? The story didn’t end there, dear reader because the guy is still madly in love with her. He is not willing to let go of his girl, I mean the girl who chose to love money over him! Dicey! Isn’t it?

So reader, what’s your assessment? Have you got any counsel for either of the duo? Thanks for reading and for your comments too, in advance!

One Buyer vs Two Sellers Tussle! "...how do we handle this kind of issue...?"

I’m sure many of us would have #encountered something similar to what I’m about to share. Please read and tell us your opinion.

“Hian! See me see #trouble o! I have these two customers who I usually #buy things from. I will not mention their names, what they #sell or their #locations because I don’t want them to #suspect anything. It was initially one of them before the other person started the same #business and very close to each other and both of them are my friends. When the second #friend started her own, I knew there was going to be trouble but I didn’t know it had started already #between both of them until one day when I went to buy something from my old customer and I noticed she was #grumbling, #complaining that I have stopped #patronizing her as before. Hian! I #patronized the new #customer on another day and she was like, I’m being #partial; she complained that I buy more things from the other person than I buy from her. Ooh! So what will I do? Definitely, I cannot #divide myself into #two. Please O…….how do we #handle this kind of #issue because I don tire!”

My #people, una don hear o… #Market people #palaver… “hian!” (lol!)

Please share your suggestions. Thanks.

WHY DO WE WORSHIP/PRAISE GOD?

Why do you #Praise? Is it only because of what he has done for you? Those things you #tag GOOD? Or do you #worship Him for who He is; because of His great #FAITHFULNESS? If you worship #God only when things are smooth for you and when things are rough, you go on holidays; then… I’m afraid...  I remember vividly those years when I used to hear… that #VOICE – daunting, taunting & #CRUEL! Always asking me for sufficient or pleasant #reasons to praise (NOW); I’m talking about those times when the #vision is blurred and the #heart #bleeds; when it is hard to utter the words, “GOD IS GOOD.” (You’re familiar with such times) You know this few words (GOD IS GOOD), simple as they appear, could be very heavy to utter! At times, you’d choose to throw them away! “Who cares! Where was God when all these were happening to me? … To hell with them!” (That’s what the attitude screams! Some people even shout it!) But by the mercies and grace of God, I learnt a lesson from Job, after he received the woeful news and all hell broke loose! What did he do? (Job 1:20-22)
“… Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said, ‘Naked I came from my mother’s #womb, and #naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the #LORD be praised.’ IN ALL THIS, JOB DID NOT #SIN by charging God with wrongdoing.”
At this period, #Job was as good as dead for the #fire burning in his bones –he had just lost virtually EVERYTHING! But wisdom taught him that with God -as long as He stayed glued to God, HE COULD #RECOVER ALL in #SURPLUS! Wow! I got it! I got the secret of REAL #JOY! That’s it! So my eyes became opened –heart leaping for joy & eyes lit in #amazement. I knew deep within that I FOUND A #TREASURE –a part NO ONE CAN TAKE FROM ME!
Do you know your worship or praise is not just a means of #appreciation of what you receive? It’s beyond that! We #owe Him our worship –the #totality of our life! WORSHIP is YOUR DUTY! “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love #mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8) #Fear God, keep His #commandments –that’s the WHOLE #DUTY OF MAN! (Eccl. 12:13)
And guess what? Since I got it right, there’s another voice I’ll call it #NEW –still, small but loving! You know what it says to me? “My #grace is #sufficient for you.” O my God! Don’t go yet; there’s another…
“If you faint in the day of #adversity, your strength is small.” (Proverbs 24:10) Wow!
So I challenge you friend, with the NEW LIVING TRANSLATION version of same verse,
“If you fail under #pressure, your #strength is too small.”
If you stand up under it, by His grace, even in the midst of #pains or #tears… you can praise God. The time of #troubles should push us closer to God -it’s the time to worship Him more #intensely! Yes, WE CAN! Satan, shame unto you!
OUR GOD REIGNS!!!

*Let us always remember, we cannot just worship God at will; WE WERE MADE TO #FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD –THAT’S WORSHIP! It is our DUTY… OUR LIFE, OUR ALL!

... JOY to your hearts!

"So tell me, how can I have more children if the man I call my husband does not even touch me?"

You don't have any #idea of the #ordeals those you see #smiling out there are passing through "behind the #scenes"; unless they open up to you. I came across this young #woman who told me a shocking #story when we got deep in a discussion recently -

"So tell me, how can I have more #children if the #man I call my #husband does not even touch me? He no longer sleeps in the same #room with me, he #treats me like a #slave in the #house! I'm very sure he has been sleeping around with those stupid #girls! Everyone is just praying for me but it cannot work. (What?) Of course, it can't work! Will #God come down and put the #baby inside my #womb? I'm I #virgin #Mary? I'm #sick and tired of this whole thing! I feel like packing out of that house. I don't even know what I'm still doing there; after all, he is always singing it into my ears that he is not #married. And he is right! I found myself in his house because I got #pregnant for him. I've been #trapped in there for more than a #decade where I don't even know how or when I'm ever going to be #free from this #mess. (sobs) I'm sick... I'm sick... I'm tired! (sobs... sobs...)"

What would you #suggest? Do you think the woman in the story should stay or #pack out of her... her... em...? (I'm wondering if I should call it her #matrimonial #home. Is it?) Have you got any other helpful idea? And if all you can do is to #PRAY, please, do remember her in your private #prayers. hmmm... what you have just read, is only a TIP of the #iceberg, trust me. Don't worry about her name, God knows exactly who she is. Thank you all.
