Pots of thoughts 3

I woke up on Saturday at a friend 's house at about 5.30am and found her 13 years old daughter sweeping the floor. She proceeded to attending to the kitchen chores and later made breakfast. I was watching in unbelief knowing that children from very wealthy background are spoilt by thier parents who surround them with maids and nannies. I could not hold it back but ask my hostess why she does not have maids to take care of her children and the house? She told me she can't spoil her children all in the name of being wealthy and that the time she needed house helps was when they were still babies but now they must learn the basic chores especially the female children. Immediately my mind went to this scripture in Prov 22 vs 6 "train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it".

That encounter with that young lady teaches everyone out there not to spoil their children all in the name of " I don't want my children to suffer what I suffered". Do you know some young ladies have lost great husbands because they cannot put a simple meal together.

I have seen children who cannot carry their school bags themselves when going to school because the driver is supposed to carry it for them. We even have adults with nasty attitudes because that's how they were brought up.

I strongly recommend to parents to kindly allow thier children learn the basic home making habits and manners no matter the volume of wealthy they possess, so that these children don't end up encountering problems in the future.

On a softer note, my grand mother once asked my cousin whose wealthy father won't hear them get close to the kitchen to assist in fetching charcoal from a bag to enable her roast corn. The young lady replied " grandma, Pls what is charcoal?" Ha this na serious matter oooo.  Please parents wise up.

HEART CRIES 3

When ever I hear about the death of an individual , it puts me in a sober mood. No wonder the bible says it is better to be in the house of mourning than in the house of rejoicing. Sober reflection mood actually puts you back on check, knowing all Human struggles, pursuits, fame, cravings, accomplishments, desires, would all end the day you take your last breath. " hmm there is nothing in this life. All is vanity so says ecclesiastics".

We need to always remember that as each day passes by, so are we moving closer to the end point of life and as such, we need to live our lives as if it's the last and be careful how we treat people around us, the kind of life we live, the things we get involved with and many others. Rejoice with people who are rejoicing and celebrate other people's progress because in all you are learning a lesson or finding courage to move on through thier accomplishments.

Have you thought of making an impact in this generation or do you want to be like others who when it's their turn, would fizzle out as if they never walked past this earth? A friend put up a post on Facebook that we have 165 days as at today to the end of year 2015. Would you say your life has counted over these years or months ?

I crave your indulgence dear visitors, to reflect more on your life and strive to make an impact because your eulogy after you pass on would tell the world who you were.

Rest in peace Pastor Paul of FWC Lugbe.

Happy Sallah celebration to all Muslims out there. Am still waiting for my Sallah food oooo "winks" anyways as you celebrate, don't forget the less privileged who might not have enough to eat.

A lot has been said about water and how important it is but a lot of people tend to underestimate its relevance. For the past three days, some parts of Abuja has being experiencing water shortage due to a breakage of one of the major pipes supplying  water to that region affected and it has defiled all efforts made  by water board, thus resulting in Julius Berger being called to the rescue and yours truly happens to be in one of the affected areas.

Kai!! nothing works without water ooo. It looks and feels horrible to be without water. Due to this unpleasant experience, I like to share the importance of water. " how do people living in Areas without water cope self hmmmm"

In genesis 1vs 2c, we are told that the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. By implication, God is showing us that life is birthed from water.

Water as a substance is made up of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio two to one and it covers over 70 percent of the earth's surface and is essential to all known forms of life. (Encyclopedia). We need water to drink ( though a lot of people avoid drinking water or drink less water , not knowing water cleanses your system and keeps your skin aglow), wash our hands, cook, water plants and so many other uses.

Whenever it rains, you see and feel the freshness all around you because of its life giving attributes. So dear visitors , never under estimate water's useful . Water don't have enemy , it's a friend to all.

I would be back for more juicy gist after I finish my can of water. ....hmmn sooo refreshing . Winks.

doctor blog 2

I remember clearly in my final year when I had to read with other course mates of mine due to the  short time the semester went and the pressure we all faced to cover up our outlines for the exams.   During one of the reading sessions at about 2 am, we started hearing a loud sound echoing the entire reading hall. This caught the attention of everyone because it was so loud and irritating. Guess what! One of the guys reading with us had dozed off and started snoring like a generator turned on around my area. Lol. It was not funny ooo because the rest of us could not read again until we woke him up.

Snoring is becoming a norm especially amongst men. Snoring occurs when the air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe, creating an intimidating sound. It also occurs when the muscles of your throat relax, your tongue falls back and your throat becomes narrow. As you breathe , the walls of the throat begins to vibrate and these vibrations leads to snoring.

It is also the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when your breathing is partially obstructed in some way while your are sleeping. Snoring may indicate a serious health condition. It may occur nightly or intermittently. Persons most at risk are males and those who are overweight; though it is a problem of both genders. Snoring becomes more serious as people age and it can cause disruptions of your own sleep and that of your partner.

Factors that facilitates snoring includes
a. Aging : this leads to the relaxation of the throat muscles
b. Sleep position , like sleeping on your back.
c. Alcohol
d. Obesity

symptons includes noise during sleep , excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating , sore throat, restless sleep , gasping/choking night, high blood pressure.

Treatments can be adjusting your sleeping position and life style , surgery on the back of the throat , roof of the mouth or nose and working on your weight to reduce fatness.

I do hope this post helps a blog visitor who is snoring . Find solution to it before you are nicknamed generator . Lmao. "Winks".

SECOND HALF

A lot raced through my mind as i thought of goals and plans to accomplish,  a whole lot of things occupied my thoughts of people who started this year with high hopes only to realize its the 30th day of June and just few hours to July 1st.

People are gradually loosing faith in themselves because the year seems to be running faster than they thought but they fail to realize that as players in a foot ball game disembark for a few minutes break before the second half whistle is blown, so also we need to take a break to restrategize on how to play for the second half.

My dearest, the beauty of transiting from first half to the second half is that you have being given a second chance to try again. I sent a message on the 1st of July to friends, encouraging them not to loose hope but have faith because the Lord would perfect all that concerns them and to affirm my words, i saw the rainbow displayed faintly across the sky yesterday and i smiled because God's promises are forever sure and he is not through with you and i yet.

The whistle for the second have being blown for you to take more steps and act .Don't keep doing same things if you desire a different result. Start acting and taking those steps no matter how small they might seem. Your set time to be favoured is here. Happy new month. E HUGS

SPITTING IN GOD'S FACE

For the past one week, a lot has being said concerning same sex marriage and incest, to make matters worse, some blasphemous pictures were posted displayed on Facebook, depicting two men kissing while hung on the cross. hmmmm this broke my heart.

By that picture, it finally dawn on me that the end is nearer than we ever thought. Imagine brothers, sisters and relations being intimate. gosh!!! so disgusting . Incest has being legalized in Germany because a government ethics  committee said " it is an unacceptable intrusion into the right to sexual self determination".

Another excerpts from Lizzie Dearden on 24th September 2014 stated thus " Germany's national ethics council has called for an end to the criminalization of Incest between siblings after examining the case of a man who had four children with his sister".

it is no longer news that on June 26th 2015, the US Supreme court ruled that the US constitution guarantees the right for same sex couples to marry in all 50 US states. Now i know some individuals would feel what's my own if people choose to live their lives as it pleases them. well, it wont be my concern until it extends to insulting the Almighty God. am not too surprised because all that is happening depicts a people living the script as prophesised inthe bible.

Dear visitors, i want us to examine the scriptures below as told from the Message bible and decide for your self.

Rom 1: 26-32.
  Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.
28-32 Since they didn’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it’s not as if they don’t know better. They know perfectly well they’re spitting in God’s face. And they don’t care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!

2 Tim 3:1-5 
Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people.

Hmmmmm my people, i just hope people propagating this wrong gospel would retrace their steps and stop spitting in God's face. A word is enough for the wise.
