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 ?
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
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
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?
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
- Oduduwa
- Sango
7) Help The Poor (The Imbalance Of The World)
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
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.
