Many times we've heard that all things are possible with God. Of course that's the truth. But then do you know that all things are possible with you too.?   Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, "if you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes."  Whatsoever you believe in can definitely come to reality. There is never anything impossible. What we thought was impossible 30-50 years ago is now a reality today. The mind of a man is a manufacturing room where thoughts are fabricated. And if you can think it, you can have it. If it is in your heart then it can be in your hand.  Never say it's impossible. It might look impossible today but with your strong believe and persistence impossibility will turn to possibility. Don't give up on that dream, every dream has in it the potential to become a reality, its just a matter of time and commitment. There are two important things to get possibility  #1. Believe : Even Jesus couldn't do ...

If you watch football, you'll notice that there are different formations (game plans, patterns); the 4 4 2, 4 3 3, 4 2 3 1 etc. Some favour the all attack, others the defence and sometimes both. Which ever one the coach and his team players decide to use, the most important thing is that the players get on the pitch and WIN. This is achieved by applying the formation initially practised in the main match and scoring goals. However what is sometimes obtained on the pitch may not seem to favour the initial game plan or formation, so the need for some adjustments. Thank God for 'half time' where coaches review their various game plans. The main goal still remains winning by scoring as many goals as possible,  defend too, in order not concede many goals. So it is with life, we have our God- given assignments(dreams) and also a perceived or prepared plan or pattern of achieving it. As we go on day by day, we do face challenges and difficulties. What we can do at such poin...

Welcome to Sunday Special Edition. Wisdom is said to be the principal thing, that is the most important thing. Furthermore, wisdom is one of the things we are to seek as Christians. Therefore, today I will be sharing on Ten steps to gain Godly Wisdom. #1. Fear God (Psalm 111 vs.10). The fear of God is to be in reverential awe of God. Reverencing Him in all that you do is a platform to access Godly Wisdom #2. Please God. Ecclesiastic 2 vs.26. When you please God by the way you order your life and the things you do, wisdom will be released unto you. #3. Hear God. Proverbs 2 vs.16. You don't say God doesn't speak to you when your bible is closed. God speaks and He speaks all the time. Just like a transmitting station and a radio, you must tune your spirit to pick God's voice. #4. Look to God. Proverbs 3 vs. 13. When you are confused or in need, the first person to turn to is not man but God. Those that look to God are more enlightened than those that look to m...

Welcome to another edition of Saturday health tips with Dr Nshe MD Last week I gave a general overview of health and the various aspects of health and what you need to do to at least keep that aspect up and running. This week I am going to be talking about sickle cell disease. The World sickle cell day is 19th of June, yearly. This year like every other it was celebrated with the theme,"HOW RARE DISEASE AWARENESS LEADS TO QUALITY CARE, TREATMENT " What is this sickle cell disease? Sickle cell disease has become a common and foremost genetic disease worldwide which is must to cure through the fast awareness campaign, curable activities, early diagnosis and management. It is a genetic disease in that the father and mother of a child are responsible for the transmission of the disease to the child to make him/her SS or SC. This disease affects red blood cells. Sickle cell anaemia means person suffering from anaemia (less number of haemoglobin- red pigment in blood...

As I ruminate on the ugly incidences that bewildered Benue House of assembly and the House of Representatives this outgoing week where law makers engaged in a free for all, I nodded my head in utmost dismay of what has become of the people we chose to lead us and make laws for us. This is not the first time we will be seeing something of such but every time it occurs it leaves a negative impression of incompetence, immaturity, clueless and law-less law makers on the heart of Nigerians and people all over the world watching.  I'm not a political analyst neither do I want to become one but i'm an advocate of good 'leaders-in-a-ship' and I believe that what the nation deserves at this time is a way forward from where we are not engaging in blow throwing and cloth tearing. Leadership is not by occupying position, that is, you are not a leader by being in an office or by holding a post. Leadership is all about influence. Its all about the ability to transform a vi...

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...

Yesterday, we started a discussion  on the temptation of Jesus and how we also have been copying the devil in 'testing /tempting' God. In other to make the most of our calling and enjoy more of God's abundant blessings we must get things right. Getting it right starts from changing our age long beliefs and way of doing things that has profited us nothing. Let's consider the second temptation  2. Devil told Jesus, if you bow down to worship me all these things(the kingdom of the world) you're seeing I will give unto you, for it has been delivered unto me and to whomever I will I give it. Jesus responded and said get thee behind me Satan, it is written thou shalt worship the Lord your God, and him only shalt thou serve. The devil desires that Jesus worships him by virtue of what was delivered unto him, what he got cunningly and not even what he created, because the devil can not create anything. Interestingly many of us also want God to bow down to our will...

GETTING IT RIGHT We all are familiar with the temptation of Jesus by the devil and we saw how Jesus overcame him. Peradventure you don't remember the story well or you don't know about it, just stop and read it in Luke 4 vs. 1-13 before you continue reading. The devil from the scripture gave three temptations, 1. To turn bread to stone, 2. To bow down and worship him and 3. To prove if he is the son of God by jumping down. I've heard this temptations being preached many times, and i'm made to see the wily of the devil and the Word-filled Jesus overcoming those temptations with the word. But then, I began to look at the temptation critically and I discovered that these same temptations the devil gave to Jesus, we are doing same to God too. How? I will explain later. We stylishly copy, even though not intentionally the act of the tempt and then use it. Let's consider the first temptation today and then consider the remaining later; 1. The devil said "turn ...

M-Cube: Goal Setting Today on M-Cube(Monday Morning Motivation) I will be sharing on the key to successful goal setting. Goal setting provides an opportunity to bring the future to the present so that you can deal with it today. John 3:8 says "the wind bloweth where it listeth...' Many have read this verse and misunderstood it to be that the wind doesn’t have direction and it  moves anywhere, everywhere, and so we are to live life with no direction, no focus with statement like "as the spirit leads..."  It says the wind blows where it listeth (will, wants), it moves in a particular course, direction, where he wants. It has direction and that's why even though you don't know where it's coming from or where it's going, it knows where it is going. And Jesus compared a spirit-filled believer to a wind, which simply means, even though others don't know where you are coming from or where you are going, you should know where you are going by God'...

Fathers with Legacy. Father's Day Special Edition with 'Yomi Oladejo Many people before marriage prepares for almost everything except parenthood. Parenthood is another stage in life that changes the course of many marriages if not properly handled. But then does fatherhood only deals with those that have children? No!. Being a 'father' does not necessarily mean you have a child, it's a state of responsibility. Being a father is a position of responsibility and it takes a responsible person to be a correct father that will leave a lasting legacy for his children. Unfortunately many fathers around are images and representations of whom a correct father is. Therefore, for those of you that are fathers(have children already) , or those that will be fathers and those that are fathers (by taking up the responsibility of a father), you must understand that you are to function in three major capacity before you can leave a lasting legacy for your children 1. A father, ...

DESTINY TEST Yesterday, we talked about destiny tracks, sure you were blessed and inspired and if you miss yesterday's post, just take a swipe back and you're there on the page. Today, our discussion is still on fulfilling our destiny, bringing to reality all that we dreamt of becoming. But this time it's DESTINY TEST. Jacob had twelve sons but only one of them discovered God's plan for his life as a youth. Saying "for every 12 persons, only one will discover God's plan as a youth" may be statistically incorrect as the population from which this inference is drawn is not universal. However, a look at many of the youths today may reveal a more shocking result. The inability to see what God has in his plan for some youths has made them to pursue plans and purposes that are far from the intentions of God.  On the other hand, some youths have received a God-given vision. God has given them a picture of their future. Some have even spoken about it to people ...

DESTINY TRACK Imagine a man walking on a lone straight road; he has no choice but to keep walking forward. He obviously is heading towards some place in the future, therefore it never crosses his mind to go back or quit walking. Next, he arrives at a cross road and at this point, he has to choose which road will continue to the future he hopes to arrive at. In other words, he has to choose between the right road and the wrong road. Truth be told, except someone who is fully aware of the man’s destination happens to pass by and tell him what road is right, there is a high possibility/tendency of him going the wrong road.   Truth you should never forget 1. before God formed you in your mother’s body He chose you and before you were born, He set you apart to serve Him. (Jeremiah 3:5) 2. God knows the plans He has for you. He wants you to enjoy success. He does not plan to harm you. (Jeremiah. 29:11) 3. He planned how many days you would live before you had lived through o...

Just Relax. - 'Yomi Oladejo. Are you going through a difficult time and it seems an end to it is far? RELAX. You are in debt and don't know how to get out? RELAX. Your relationship isn't working the way you thought? RELAX. You failed an exam and it seems that's the end of life? RELAX. You are afraid of the future or the next stage of your life? RELAX. No matter what situation you are in and have lost your peace already, please RELAX. To relax is simply to rest, to be less tense, to be worry-free. Life is too short that you can't afford to live your life full of worries. Worrying is an emotional state in which your mind is filled with concern and fear. In fact worrying about the situation you are in does not proffer a way out of it rather it makes things more complicated. A man full of worries ends up being a nobody because such a man will consistently make mistakes. Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. Each and ever...

Miracles Everyday Part 2 by 'Femi Oguntolu Yesterday I discussed with you three steps to get and enjoy a miracle from God, I hope you were blessed. Today I will be sharing with you the remaining 4 steps. 4. Leave the "How" to God When you are expecting a miracle,you dont need to figure how God will do it. That is not your business. Unbelief sets in when you try to figure how. He is God and he exceeds whatever you can think of ( Eph 3:20). An occurrence that you can predict is not a miracle. If it must be a miracle,it must daze you 5. Celebrate the anointing A lot of  people dont receive miracles because they do not celebrate the anointing of God upon the life of the servants of God he has sent to them. Jesus could not do any significant work in his home town because they failed to celebrate the anointing of God upon him. They looked at him as ordinary. They saw jesus the son of the carpenter and not jesus the anointed. They missed out. An anointing you dont celebra...

Miracles Everyday Part 1by 'Femi Oguntolu God is a miracle worker. He is a specialist in the business of making moves which, by the natural laws, are not possible. He lives in the realm of miracles. All that God has belong to his children. Therefore believers are suppose to enjoy a daily life of miracles. In fact they should work miracles. An unbeliever may get a miracle once in while but believers are meant to experience miracles all the time. However some believers do not enjoy a life of miracle as they should because they do not understand how to do so. A lot hop from church to church, moutain to mountain, and meeting to meeting just to lay hold on God's supernatural move in their lives. Getting a miracle from God is not that difficult. All that is needed is understanding. I will like to share the following proven steps to getting and enjoying a miracle from God with you. 1. Desire, ask for, and expect a miracle A lot of people seek God without a definite desire. The t...

Don't Throng, Touch - (Sunday special edition with 'Yomi Oladejo) One of the fascinating stories I have ever read is the story of the woman in the Bible who defied multitudes to get what she desired. Jesus the anointed of God commanded multitudes both home and abroad in His earthly ministry and one day as the multitudes Thronged Him, something happened that caught His attention; "Someone Touched Him". I believe many would have used their body to hit Jesus or even rubbed body on Him. But then there came this woman who stood at a distance because of her predicament (12 years of haemorrhage) and said to herself 'if I can only touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole'. She wasn't aiming at joining the multitude thronging Him, she aimed at Touching Him and when she did, her touch made Jesus to ask, 'who touched my clothes?' He knew there was a touch different from other touches, it was a touch of faith, a deliberate touch, a focused touch ...

RELATIONSHIP; Be Careful. By Oguntolu Oluwafemi. Meeting a new friend is like getting a beautifully wrapped gift. One is usually tempted to think that they are better than the friends we had. We spend a lot of time exploring them. We are so excited about our new obsession that our old friends slip from our hands. Even when  we see them slipping out of our hands,we don't care cos we are blinded by our new adventure. We flirt with our new gift and lose sight of our proven and tested relationships. Due to the deceit of the wrapper,we realize after spending so much time and emotional strength on our newly found obsession, that they are not as good as our time tested relationships. We then begin to look for our neglected gifts. Unfortunately, they usually ain't where we lost them. As much as a person should not hesitate to withdraw from a relationship that is no more valid,one should be careful of diving into a new one carelessly. Be careful how you treat your time tested relat...

UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD (THE PATH TO INCREASING GRACE) By: Oguntolu Oluwafemi.  A computer connected to the internet works by uploading and downloading data to and from the server. So is the life of a man under the grace of God. When a man yields himself to grace,such a man acknowledges the frailty of his effort and the capacity of God's grace to achieve what he cannot achieve. Such a man has equipped himself to download grace. It takes humility to download grace. When God gives a man grace,he begins to achieve the unthinkable. He receives increase in folds of his effort. He soars above difficulty and becomes superhuman. Why? Grace is God's infinite ability in a man to perform. As a result,he records unthinkable breakthroughs. All things just fall in line for him. Due to the success he records,he becomes celebrated and people talk about him as though it was his own effort that brought him that far. For some people,this is where they lose it. They begin to think like the men who d...

Real Life. Many of us are in the habit of expressing our fears, though innocently but indirectly spreading it to others. Fear comes as a result of facts that we have at hand, probably by seeing, hearing, feeling and reading. Facts in fact are real. But then there is the Truth. The Truth produces the opposite of fear, Faith. The truth is, Truths are more Real. Are we therefore going to trade the most real for the real? Folks, we've got to ignore the facts and go for the truths. To some, facts are so real than the truth. Please note, The most real is the most experienced. When facts are most real, then you see happenings of it in your life and when the truth is so real to you, you experience it too. Is Fact to be disregarded? No! In fact, they are pointers to the Truth.  Then why should we set our abode at a sign board rather than living in the realm of the Truth? Facts come from the earth while The Truth is from above. Remember he that is from above is above all and because our cit...

BETTER DAYS AHEAD Time is ticking and it seems someone has tied a rope on time and drawing it very fast. When did we shout 'happy new year' you asked yourself and here we are in June. Well, the truth is you and I had just spent 151 days in 2015. And probably you set goals and you've not achieved it, or probably your expectations and desires for the year has not been realised. I have a good news for you. The good news is not that the time will slow down or that God has added extra time to the year, the good news is that you still have time to achieve your goals and targets.

Probably, yours is that your desires have not been met and you're getting discouraged and loosing hope, well r...
