12) Showing Gratitude.

Showing gratitude

When I pray or talk to my heavenly Father, I always say Daddy I am grateful for the situation I am in and the family I was born into. Well, normally there are times I get frustrated about things going on in my life but I am always grateful that my situation is better. Many at times we question God that why can't our situation in life be better but never sat down to think about people who are not anywhere close to having a good life like ours or we being appreciative about ours . Yes we pray for something better but let us be appreciative that things are not worse. I'll give an illustration using a friends story.
 Had a friend who was so close to the Lord back in his university days. He was the best in class, his parents were rich and so many good things in life for him. The best of all was that he was always thankful and devoted to God. He was a worker in church, joined the instrumentalist. Until tragedy struck, lost both his parents and the family members on both sides left he and his siblings to strive on their own. The only way he thought they could survive was for him to scam people and get loads of money from them. What really hurt me from this story was that he told me he lost every reason to serve God.
  Now look at things, that time he was good to the Lord and life was going well, me at that time I didn't have salvation but still nothing happened.

11) Are Heaven And Hell Real ?

Heaven or Hell

A very common question amongst both sinners and various believers of different religions is that "are Heaven and Hell real?". It has laid a little puzzle in the life of man as to the fact that no one has ever been brought from the dead to say whether he or she was faced by any form of judgment over there or whether there was ever anybody governing the earth. When I was younger, I thought of this a lot, trust me, I mean a lot. It kept ringing in my head, is God real? Is there a place like Heaven or Hell? Where do we go when we die? What happens when we die? Do people come back to life as new people? Do people come back to life and take new forms or shapes whatsoever? All these questions gave me a very hard time when I was still coming up as a christian. From the christian bible, we are given two places where people on earth will spend eternity. Eternity is a very long time when men will be immortal (cannot die) and as such, live forever. The picture of Heaven was that it was a place where the saints go to, where there is abundant food and endless joy. Where we all have mansions to ourselves and nobody lacks or suffers or has any course to beg for food, money or any other item he or she needs, it is a place where everything is free, where you don't have to work or do something before you can buy a thing because all things are free, even the most expensive things on earth will be free there.

10) Overcoming Temptation

Overcoming Temptation

Temptation:
Overcoming Temptation is one of the greatest difficulties of being a Christian or even being a good person, it doesn't only apply to Christianity, all religions, everyman on earth has to learn how to overcome temptation. It is behind every evil action we take (every action which isn't good). Talking from a normal point of view now (Non-religious), When we want to do something which is bad, something we know that will hurt the feels of a person or something that is generally not good, anything which is termed bad by the bible, we often hear two voices. When I was younger, I never believed that we could hear two different voices, but if you listen closely, there's always that good voice telling you not to do it, telling you to do that which is right. We all have a Good side, no matter how bad we are, no matter how cruel or wicked we may be or seem to be. Some people get to a stage where they no longer think before they execute acts of wickedness, where their hearts have been turned to stones and they feel nothing for the lifes of others, they have no remorse for any of their wicked acts. These people are very hard to change, they are very hard to convince. In their hearts, the Bad voice overpowers the Good one, at the moment of the act, the Good voice will speak, but the Bad voice will always overcome the Good voice. I plead to us all, let us try and abolish every form of wickedness from our hearts, if there was no form of wickedness in the world, imagine what the world will be like. Imagine a world where there are no terrorists, a world where there are no armed robbers, no kidnappers, we all will feel safe, there will be more freedom. In my country for instance, people fear to even jog in the morning, when kidnapping is rampant and Ritual killings are at its peak, people find it hard to walk at night just for the fun of it, when people see that you are prospering, they then try to bring you down, they want you to fail, to be unsuccessful, to die and to be always lower/below them in every aspect of life. If we all could tune our hearts to goodness, kindness and love, we can make the world a better place.

There was a saying/quote I read sometime ago about humans and goodness:
"People have to change themselves and create good from their previous bad selves, before they can make any effort of changing their Nation, let alone the World."

9) You Too Can Prosper

You too can prosper

Let me start by saying unequivocally that prosperity is not the monopoly or exclusive preserve of a few folks. Nobody has the monopoly of prosperity, that is to say that nobody can have all the prosperity to his or herself. You too can prosper if you possess the right keys. Let no one intimidate you or bamboozle you to believing a lie of the devil. We are living in a world where some people erroneously believe that except one is cutting corners in business one will never prosper. That except one is corrupt, one cannot make it in life. What a fallacy! The good news is that you can join the rank of people today who are commanding great wealth without stealing or doing fraudulent practices. You can join Godly people who are running their businesses in the light of the word of God; who are maintaining high level integrity in their business dealings. You too can prosper in the order of Father Abraham who remains till today an indefatigable template of divine prosperity. The testimony of his servant goes to validate this position.
And the lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocked, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses: Gen. 24:35
As a child of God, you have in you the seed of prosperity, this is your birthright as Abraham's seed. If you look through the scriptures and study the lives of the natural descendants of Abraham, you'll find that they always prospered, they always made progress; no matter how they started, they ended up expanding to the point that they became the dominant force economically wherever they found themselves, for example, the Bible says that Issac "waxed greatly and went forward and grew until he became very great: for he had possession of flocks and possession of herds and great store of servants: and the philistines envied him" Gen. 26:13-14. If it was so for Abraham's natural descendants, your story shall not be different in Jesus name, Amen. For you too are a seed of Abraham via Christ Jesus. "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. Gal. 3:29. Is God still in the business of prospering people today? Is he still empowering people with the ability to create wealth? Is he still transferring wealth to his people today ? Yes of course!


Let me show you 3 steps of commanding prosperity:

8) Are You Naturally A Good Person, What Will You Do In The Absence Of Religion?

Be a good person

Religion:
Religion to me is a way of life. It is a process of individual governance through a particular believe or a traditional culture. Religion helps give a certain amount of moral, spiritual and sometimes physical guidance in life. Like we all know, there are over a 100 religions spread over the whole world. From the Africans, to the Americans, to the Europeans, to the Asians and all over the world, trust me, there are still so many religions in the world which are still unknown to man. Was it not of recent when a set of NYSC youth corps found a small village where no form of civilisation has gotten to them, the kings and royal ones put on leaves while the slaves stay naked, there was no cell coverage there, no hospitals, no schools, bad water system (local ones), etc. Where I am going to is that, if that village/community was just found, that definitely means that they must have their own type or types of religions. You here of Hindu, Buddhism, etc. These are religions of people in some places of the world. How much of the world do you really know ? In my country alone, there should be over 5 types of religions if not more, though I am not certain, but leaving out the 2 most common;

  • 1) Christianity Religion
  • 2) Islamic Religion
I still think that there are about 2 to 3 religions in my country. Even those who worship the devil, those who worship;
  • Oduduwa
  • Sango
and many other diabolic forms of spiritual connections have their types of religions. The type of religion you belong to determines how you will be, it determines who you are, how you relate with people and your sense of reasoning towards certain issues in life.

7) Help The Poor (The Imbalance Of The World)

Help the poor

Ever since I were a child, I always thought of the world as a big round ball that had people in it, people who abuse it and some who help protect and save it. I saw Nature at its brightest, purely green trees and clear skies, planes flew pass and in my ignorance I saw the world as a peaceful place. All these happened in my young age, then when I would be locked up at home, no TV (I didn't like watching TV), little friends, didn't go out and in all of these, in all of my ignorance, I thought my Father and Mother were the Tallest people in the world. When I taken out one day, I was surprised at the enormous amount of people I saw that day, I think we were first at my dads office and then we went on the road to a small market to get fruits and that was when my life changed forever, my whole wonderland view of the world was destroyed and I will share this with you and by Gods grace you will be touched and change your ways and view of how unbalanced the world is.

That day at the market, I was with my dad and we were on the road buying oranges, when suddenly people started separating and I saw 2 young men pursue a girl with sticks and as they pursued her, they attempted stoning her but it was meeting the wrong people and they complained, but never the less, what surprised me the most was that what she stole was a pack of Biscuits for her younger brother, that biscuit was about 10 Naira that is also 10 Cents. Then she ran and passed the biscuits to the young boy and then he ran and hide, the girl was caught and she was beaten so badly she bleed, they were about to burn her, they had put a Tyre round her neck and set fuel and match sticks to burn her, but luckily for her, people intervened and she was spared.

6) Let God Fill Your Mind

Let God Fill your mind

The mind is still a mystery to me, how it works, functions, the way I totally controls our bodies. Of recent, I learned that the mind  is different from the soul and probably the spirit, I'm not too sure about the spirit, but I am certain about the difference between the mind and the soul. Your soul is immortal, it lives on, that is what will be judged by God. When we die, our souls ascend to God for judgement and wherever our earthly deeds makes us fall into, there we shall spend eternity. Brethren, I want to let you know that Heaven and Earth are real and that Eternity is a very very very very very very very very very very X 100000000000 Long time. Do you want to spend your eternity in hell ? No way. None of the people reading this will spend eternity in hell in Jesus name. Amen.

You can choose to control your mind negatively or positively, whichever way you choose to tune your mind, that will be the view you will have of the world. People have very bad minds, and most have good minds. Most people with low self-esteem start downgrading themselves from their minds.
