Happy New Year People. Welcome to 2015<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m sure we all had a great 2014 even with all the challenges, successes, trials and everything that came up against us but God sustained us to witness a new year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me, 2014 was an awesome year not because I had it all rosy but because in spite of all that happened I came out of it a better person and achieved some of the goals I set for the year. It was simply a year of learning and unlearning so I can boldly say I came out of 2014 better than I went into it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Even though we are not where we want to be, we are not where we used to be.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2015, most of us have written down resolutions, goals and things we want to do this year. It’s important to do this as this will be a measure of how the year went at the end of it. I have written things i want to do and <i>how</i> I want to achieve them and <i>when</i> I want them to happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If it’s not written, it doesn't exist</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sad thing is they can all remain on paper if no conscious effort is taken concerning whatever we have written. Also knowing that it cannot all be done with our human strength is important. We need God to order our steps according to His will concerning us. That also wouldn't happen unless we sincerely as Him to and are willing to follow His lead even when its contrary to what we have in our own plans because we know His plans are always good for us and it’s much better that what we have in mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It might not be a smooth or easy ride as there will be oppositions, barriers and obstacles to these goals. Just like an aircraft's fligt, there might be a rough takeoff or landing and we might experience some turbulence in the course of the flight it’s just a matter of time, we will reach our destination. Remember nothing good comes easy and sometimes, we need to get out of our comfort zones, step out of the boundaries we have set for ourselves, jump out of the box that we or the society has placed us in. These actions will not always be convenient and often comes with some pain or discomfort. We might even need to put in some FIGHT.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A fight against whatever seems to be holding us back, our mindset, the status quo and the society we find ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For everyone I have spoken with about 2015, I have always told them, it’s going to be a great year, Its going to be better than 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So go ahead and do what God wants you to. Go all out and achieve those goals. Take positive steps in the direction of your goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish everyone a fruitful 2015. Have a GREAT YEAR.</div>

2014 has been a great year so far. Its almost a month into the new year and God has been faithful.<br />
<br />
Imagine when the things we call little or we simply ignore are withdrawn from us or become difficult, then we get to appreciate them and understand their value or worth. As the saying goes, "you don't know the value of what you have until you lose it"<br />
<br />
You don't really appreciate the gift of being able to fall asleep until you stay up all night looking for sleep and then it doesn't come. You don't appreciate sound health until you become sick.<br />
<br />
Most times we forget to thank God for those "little things" we are more bothered about the "tangible things", the things we can see and touch and its all because of the value we have placed on them.<br />
Just imagine if somethings were withdrawn from you.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In every thing give thanks</span></blockquote>
<br />
Today, I thank God for life, for the blessing of the things money can buy and the things money cannot buy, for the people in my life, for EVERYTHING!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">It is a noticeable trend that most singles are gradually slipping out of that idea of having a perfect relationship or a long lasting relationship or marriage or simply having a happy marriage.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">They already have a preconception that all guys or ladies cheat and have already given their boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses that blank cheque of cheating and not to disappoint them, he or she makes full withdrawal.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Our values are changing, and our expectations from what God designed to be a bliss are being degraded.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Young people are opting for celibacy. They'll rather stay single that end up in that kinda marriage they find in the society. Happy today, punching bags the next. Couples are often changing to clients seeking divorce. This isn't God's blueprint.</span></div>
<div>
<br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">I know people who are married and I 'believe' they are happy. They are the ones who don't tell you all men/women are cheats. They tell you marriages work. I'm not leaving out the fact that some people hide all their issues so well. There is just how far you can go hiding some things. If there is no love it will surely manifest.</span></div>
<div>
<br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">All these ideas we already have are a result of our personal experiences. The marriages we have seen around us. It could even be our parents or what they have told us and made us believe about the concept of marriage.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">What's your motive for getting married?</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">The question of purpose/motive is one question we fail to answer with respect to the things we do in life even asides marriage. When the purpose or use of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">People go into marriages for the very wrong reasons or without having a good idea of why they are there.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">I've heard people say they are old enough. If only age was enough to make you have a happy home. Although in our society, the pressure mounts (esp on ladies) as they approach their 30s.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Two people can't work together except they agree. But its sad that people go into marriages without an agreement on how they'll handle things. How they'll resolve issues. The leave the decision to 'when we get to the bridge, we'll cross it'</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Sadly they both have personal bridge-crossing ideas and they are not willing to change. Knowing fully well that both parties were trained differently as they grew up.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Domestic violence, divorce, cheating are not part of God's plan for the marriage institution.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">These days, couples easily go down that divorce road. Infact they have had it at the back of their mind before they even got into the marriage. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">It might not be a bed of roses. Even if it is remember beyond the floral parts of the rose, there exists thorns which can prick if not well handled.</span></div>
<div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><br /></span></div>

Who am I that You are mindful of me?<br />
<br />
That was the question on my mind a day before my birthday. When you think about what God has done<br />
<br />
for you and how far He has brought you and you know it has all been by His grace and mercy. Then you begin to wonder what you have done to deserve it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="verse v4" data-usfm="PSA.8.4" style="-webkit-background-clip: padding; background-clip: padding-box; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px; padding: 0px;"><span class="content" style="-webkit-background-clip: padding; background-clip: padding-box; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What is mankind that you are mindful of them,</span></span><span class="verse v4" data-usfm="PSA.8.4" style="-webkit-background-clip: padding; background-clip: padding-box; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">human beings that you care for them? </span>Psalm 8:4</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<br />
God has been good to me. He has been with me, He is a faithful God.<br />
Looking back at how far he has brought me and looking ahead at the the plans He has for me. I can only<br />
<br />
thank Him.<br />
<br />
Numbering the days and not just counting it gives us the opportunity to do a self appraisal of how God has<br />
<br />
been faithful to us and how His goodness has been bestowed upon us. This way we would be able to apply our hearts to wisdom. The truth is we can't thank Him enough.<br />
<br />
I have been singing this song too. Join me :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;">2012 has been a great year. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;"> I can look back at the year and say it has been God working everything out all along. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;">Decisions were made, lessons were learnt, and a lot of changes recorded. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #454545;">God has been faithful to me. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #454545;">I thank Him for journey mercies. I haven't traveled like I did in 2012. By air, land and over the waters</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have enjoyed sound health through 2012 and the few times I have been down God restored my strength.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thank God for my family. God has kept us all</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been a very challenging year as regards my job but God was faithful</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Doors of opportunities were opened for me. I have enjoyed favour everywhere I go</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If there was one thing I held on to all through the year, its the fact that God loves me and he has a great plan for my life and irregardless of what I'm going through, he is going to work it out for good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its been a very eventful year. Somethings didn't work out as planned but its all working our for good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving to a new location during the year wasn't easy but I'm adapting to the changes that came with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thank God for provision, protection and sustenance.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Colosians 1:9-12 Message Translation</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven't stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works. We pray that you'll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. We pray that you'll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us.</span></blockquote>

<br />
Its another Christmas, Thank God for the opportunity to witness another season to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.<br />
Much more than the merriment, parties,gifts, celebration, shopping, etc. It should be a time to reflect on the purpose of the birth of our Saviour. Its good to celebrate His birth because its a season to celebrate his coming to Earth to save mankind as the bible puts it.<br />
<br />
His birth was special. From the conception to delivery. Its all to show the power of God that with God, nothing is impossible. Infact, thats the greatest message I learnt this Christmas.<br />
<br />
But the purpose of His birth wasn't fulfilled when he was given birth to. It was completed when he was crucified for our sins and ressurected on the third day. Thats the complete package. As we celebrate Christmas, we should remember Christ also died for our sins.<br />
<br />
Wishing you a merry Christmas<br />
Happy Holidays<br />

On the 7th of December 2012, The 7th Edition of The Experience, took place at the Tafawa Balewa Square Onikan, Lagos. It is undoubtedly The Largest Gospel Music event in the world with over 500,000 (I would say over a million) people in attendance. This year's event featured Artistes like Don Moen, Dietrick Haddon, Chevelle Franklyn, Micah Stampley, Israel Houghton, Fred Hammond and The Soweto Spiritual Singers and Nigerian Artistes like Wale Adenuga, Sammie Okposo, Timi Dakolo, Mike Aremu and the Chosen Treasure Choir. Michelle Williams of the defunct group Destiny's Child also graced the occasion. She sang the Nigerian National Anthem beautifully.<br />
It was a Night of Worship, Praise and Prayers. You can Imagine 11 hours of non stop Praise and Worship.<br />
<br />
Just like the previous editions, I worked with the electronic media team and also had the opportunity to take pictures with my recently acquired Nikon DSLR camera and I have a few shots to share. Since its inception, I have only missed two editions the 2nd and 3rd(2007, 2008).<br />
<br />
Its been a while I posted on this blog. I hope to post frequently. This time for real :D<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
We make decisions that affects our life and sometimes, we are not afforded the opportunity to do such. The decisions are thrown at us.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
We try to make some changes and as much as we try, it proves abortive. Then people tell you it might be part of God's plan for you. So no matter how hard you try, it won't work out like you planned.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
I'm very aware that God knows what's best for you. Infact He has good thoughts towards you. Thoughts of good and not of evil to bring you to an expected end, to give you a hope and a future.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
God loves us and no matter what happens, he has good plans for us.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
What happens most of the time is we have a blurry view of what God is doing, or no view at all. So struggle between what God is doing, what we want and what is actually obtainable. It's usually mind boggling especially if it has a great impact on our life. In areas like relationships, career, family, health, finance, etc.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Praying for God's will might be easy but accepting that what obtains which is what we don't want is God's will is usually what we find hard to accept. There is no better way to know the purpose of a thing other than asking the one who created it. God will reveal his plans and purpose if we stay in fellowship with him. </div>
<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1338618626966117" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
All things work together for good...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
If God shows us the plan before it unfolds, most of us will loose sight and never reach our destination. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
If he shows us the pain we will endure, most of us will try to circumvent it and if He shows us the things to enjoy, we would lavish it. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
The perfect place to be is at the center of God's will. Right where he wants us where our purpose meets destiny, where we can fully fulfill his call for our life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
It might be hard for us to accept it but that's the best place to be.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
May you not find enjoyment in the 'absence of God' in your life</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The Experience has come again, This year’s event is going to be a
Special Command Edition holding on Friday 2<sup>nd</sup> of December, 2011 from
5pm to 1am. This is very different from the 5 previous editions that was held
at the Tafawa Balewa Square(TBS) . The Experience has been known as the world’s
largest gospel music concert and the largest music event in Africa with last
year’s edition recording over a million people in attendance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> The Experience has featured
artists such as Don Moen, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #333333; line-height: 115%;">Kirk
Franklin, Ron Kenoly, Cece Winans, Israel Houghton, Donnie McClurkin, Kurt
Carr, Bebe Winans, Tye Tribbett, Lionel Petersen, Panan Percy Paul, Papa San,
Phil Driscol, Mary Mary, Micah Stampley, Judy Jacobs, Mike Aremu, Isreal
Houghton, Sammy Okposo, Fred Hammond, Chevelle Franklyn, Lara George and the
Chosen Treasure Choir and a lot of indigenous gospel artistes.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">This year’s event will be holding at the New Expo Hall of the Eko
Hotels, Victoria Island Lagos which is limited in space hence the need for
tickets for attendance. The tickets were however given out free. This was
achieved by giving codes upon registering on a ticket portal. These codes were
later used to redeem tickets for the event. The codes were limited and
therefore ran out in a short time. Its not easy trying to compress an event
that has about a million people in attendance into 6000.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This year, there are

Chapter 28:9 God has no use for the prayers of the people who won't listen to him</blockquote>
Why Pray to God if you wont listen to him? Some versions call it an abomination. He is not a magician, He wants us to believe his word and walk according to his will concerning us. Don't turn a deaf ear to his counsel, direction, instructions and reproof<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 27:6 Faithful [are] the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy [are] deceitful. </span></blockquote>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When our friends reprove us or tell us our faults it might be painful and sometimes its like a wound. it is supposed to correct us and move us from our comfort zone. A friend will correct you in love, not with a wrong motive.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 26:4-5 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.<br /> Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. </span></blockquote>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To “answer a fool according to his folly” means to descend to his level of reasoning, coarse anger and abuse; in 5 it is to say the right word to him at the right time, to expose his lack of wisdom, not by a telling him what is beyond his comprehension because it will be useless to him. Answer a fool in your own wisdom and not in his foolishness. Don't come down to his level!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Imagine a house without doors and windows, there is free entry and exit, there is no restraint. So is a man without self control, He is without restraint, his desires are not controlled. he is exposed to sin, snare and temptations. A wise man is of good character, He has the rule of his own thoughts, his desires, his inclinations, his resentments, and keeps them all in good order.</span>Adeoluwa - NBBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14545656793723388422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276876569824275745.post-71731429045310215152011-11-25T02:07:00.001+01:002011-11-27T04:47:17.558+01:00Wisdom Series: Day 24<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 24:10 If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place. </span></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trials and temptations are bound to come. When they come, yielding to them, getting discouraged, growing weak shows how much of strength we have stored up.Our strength is not tried till we are in trouble. Staying courageous even in trying times is a measure of our strength. Understand that we do not have any strength of our own. Without God, we can do nothing, Therefore in time of crisis, holding on to God is the surest source of strength.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is very important in living our lives. The instructions may come from a higher authority God has placed over us or from parents. It is a disciplined instruction because it might not be convenient but it will make us grow. Tested knowledge is a tested application of wisdom. </span>Adeoluwa - NBBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14545656793723388422noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276876569824275745.post-37049417020003070862011-11-23T00:00:00.000+01:002011-11-25T02:06:29.915+01:00Wisdom Series: Day 22<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a reward for persistent and hard-working effort in doing something.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The wise takes a very good care of things in his possession; treasure, wealth, riches, substance of every sort, he is heir to. The fool lavishes it. He does not know the usefulness or the worth so he abuses and misuses it. He doesn't think about the future need.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The excuse of the lazy person is the cold. under the pretense of an unfavourable weather, he stays indoor when others are toiling, plowing and sowing. When the harvest comes, and the weather is warm, he comes out hoping to harvest what he didn't sow. There is a time for everything, a time to sow and a time to reap. The lazy will stay hungry and be in lack and he turns to a beggar.</span><br />

Wisdom comes from taking GOOD counsel and being open to constructive correction. A counsel or advice can come in different ways and this verse shows that not all counsels or advice will make us wise.Adeoluwa - NBBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14545656793723388422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276876569824275745.post-36807035578102358222011-11-19T05:26:00.001+01:002011-11-20T05:59:55.956+01:00Wisdom Series: Day 18<blockquote class="tr_bq">

The choice of a spouse will affect your relationship with God, career, finances, health, family, children, etc There is no gambling in this case therefore we need God's help in making the right decisions.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More than physical exercise, food or drugs, a cheerful or a merry heart improves our health.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mans's purpose is to give pleasure to God, therefore when our ways please Him, we are in harmony with the essence of our creation.We can say we are successful in life if our life is constantly pleasing to Him. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">There is no joy and peace remotely comparable to the assurance that we are striving to the very best of our tiny little ability to please God every moment. A commentary put it this way "God can turn a hangman into a friend and a benefactor if his purpose requires it" when his ways and actions are directed to the glory of God.</span></span>Adeoluwa - NBBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14545656793723388422noreply@blogger.com0
