LOVE 3

Still on the topic love, we earlier discussed on the characteristics of love as love being a sacrifice. Today, we are going to talk about another important characteristics of love as love being patient.
LOVE IS PATIENT; this can be first illustrated using the utmost love which is the love of God. God’s love for man is patient. Tho we are sinners and have come short of God’s glory,His patient love and grace has not allowed him to destroy us. Though He is our creator and has the power to do all things, He is still very patient with everyone of us and still stretches out his hand to reach to us. This is an exemplary love that everyone should emulate.
All of us are patient with ourselves no matter how many times we fail, we just keep trying. Now, if we truly love others as we love ourselves and as we love God, we should also exercise the same level of patience on other people.
Love even when correcting, is not forceful and harsh, love corrects with love. For instance, when teaching our younger ones, we don’t rush them and teach them like people of the same age with us, we are always patient with them because we know that they don’t have the same knowledge that we have. Therefore, we should learn to extend this love we have for our children and loved ones to our neighbors and also to strangers around us.

POSSIBILITIES In our country and societies, many things now look like they have come to stay and cannot be removed again. People have come to accept corruption and so many societal vices as a pattern of living. Parents this days do not care about what their children do to get money, all they need is their own share of the money and the gifts and names that comes with being the parent of a rich child. The quest for money has become the topic of the day and seemly the only option for survival. Guess what? I have a good news for all of us. This good news is the solutions to our problem of corruption and many other cases. But it will cost us a little sacrifice which is prayers and committing our life to Christ. God has promised us dominion over the earth and has fulfilled that promise. This earth is for the righteous not the unrighteous, the only thing we have to do is to commit to prayers and all the things that seems impossible will become possible. More updates coming

THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS OF ONE’S LIFE. In life, some people might want to argue the fact that everyday of one’s life should be the most important or they might say that the most important days of one’s life is more than just three days, but gracefully,I hope by reading this piece of article you will be strongly behind me with my opinion. FIRST DAY; The first day in the three most important days of one’s life is also the first day of one’s life or you can say that it is one’s birthday. On this day, the person is brought into the world after much struggle by the mother during child birth. It is a very great day of joy in the family and remains a great day as long as the individual lives. SECOND DAY; Many people might dispute the second day but the truth will not and can not change just because of dispute. The second most important day of one’s life is the day one gives his life to Christ or the day one dedicates his life to his creator. This is because, this stage i

Any form of treatment meted on a child other than normal or fair correction of the child’s bad act is known as child abuse. This is one of the most inhuman treatments that is been experienced in the country and the world at large. The children have suffered a lot of abuse from their parents and mostly their guardians, and many are still in this same condition.

As the children are the future leaders, we should be more careful

LOVE Love can be defined as a deep affection towards a being. Love is a necessity for the peaceful coexistence of the society. Love should not be for only our partners and family, it should be for every living being. In the bible,we were given the commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves but the issue is that most of us do not love ourselves and that is why we should love our neighbors as we love our God. Love is at the top of everything we do in life so we should learn to cultivate love. For example: one who loves his job prospers in it more than one who is just in it for the profit. A country with a leader who has deep affection for his followers prospers more than an ambitious leader. A family with loving parents are the best you can think about. A pastor or priest with a genuine love at heart is one with vision and mission. Etc. So, let us all cultivate love for one another in the society with genuine mind not with ulterior motive. This way, there will be less iss

WHO DO YOU SAY HE IS? Rephrased; “WHO DO YOU SAY YOUR CREATOR IS?”   This is a question everyone on earth should answer. This is because, lying behind this question, is the root of all things in the world and beyond. Some people don’t even know that the have a creator, some know they do but don’t know who He is, while very few people know who He is and trust what he can do. The knowledge of who God is affects the activities of every individual. For e.g; if the knowledge of who God is to me is that he is good and loving, my attitude towards people will be good and loving. This is because,I understand my creator and because I carry His image, I act like him. Now, whatever you do in life, if it is not in alignment with your creator’s will and nature, it shows that you either don’t have the full knowledge of your creator or you don’t even know He exists. God is my creator, the lily of the tribe of judah, the mighty man in battle, He is my everything. HOW DO YOU GET THE R

REASONS FOR BAD GOVERNANCE

REASON FOR BAD GOVERNANCE      Bad governance is one of the worst things that can happen to any country whether developing or developed. When the government of a country is bad, it affects the proper functioning of the country and sends the economy into recession. Nigeria is one of the many developing countries with a bad governance. Bad governance can be caused by so many things but today, I want highlight the two major reasons. They include; LACK OF LOVE : a country can experience bad governance when the leaders lack love for their followers and vise versa. When there is no love among these two different groups of people, all of them tend to exhibit a selfish lifestyles towards each other and thereby hinder the success of the country at large. OUR LEADERS CONFUSE THEIR VISIONS WITH THEIR AMBITION: some or most of our leaders today, pick up interest in political and governmental activities due to their ambition, mostly selfish in nature. This makes them to make a lot of promi

WOMEN AND HOW THEY SHOULD ACT     A woman is a compliment of a man created out of men and endowed with the gift of making men and the society complete and whole. The woman though less in physical strength, has the ability to make weak men and society strong and even the strongest, they are bestowed with the gift of life by God. The woman gives life to dying men, community, country and the world at large. We are the most beautiful creature of God and without us in the world, the world will be a very boring place A man who is completely without a woman knows that something is missing in his life. The only reason why the worth of a woman is not recognized in the world is because the woman has not even acknowledged her worth and gift yet. "If I have power and I don't acknowledge it or am ignorant of it, the power cannot manifest and people will also be ignorant of it. The first step women should take in knowing how they should act include; ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF WHO WE ARE:
