 Religion / Re: When Prayer Fails,do Not Think God Deaf by Docii001(m): 10:37am On Aug 01, 2013 |
"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew5:45 God is a just ruler,and as we see from the scripture above,he causes the same opportunities to fall on everyone. A poor believer has the same chance as a poor unbeliever,and same goes for the rich. Through prayers and faith,favor could be obtained though. The problem here is, a lot of christians are over reliant on praying and fasting,neglecting a very core part of success;hardwork and resilience. Having a father who can do miracles,tends to spoil us sometimes. Another thing is as christians there are somethings,we will hesitate to do on the road to success but an unbeliever would jump on it and hence hasten his promotion. Fraud,sharp practices,office politics,etc. Do not engage in such but don't be a 'mumu' and let opportunity pass you too! Example: I remember when I wanted a post of Financial secretary,and there was someone there already. So I sat down and wrote all the reasons why she should not be there including the fact that we were in debts,the accounts where not balancing,the dues collected were not adequately accounted for....and I presented it to the house. She got impeached that night,I nominated myself for the post and entered unchallenged. I reclaimed the dues which were missing,and raised money for the association. The point is do not sit down and wait for God to do a miracle to change your situation all the time;be wise as a serpent but harmless as a dove. 1 Like |

"No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved." Matthew9:16-17 A lot of times we ask God for things, which are not forthcoming. There is no response and we feel he has forsaken us. You play by the rules,live a holy life but still the blessings are not pouring down. I know I have asked God for many things over the years which I have not gotten even up till now. Some years back I had this really great idea but there was no money to pursue it. I prayed,fasted but there was no answer. At a point I wondered;why will God give me such a good brain to think up wonderful ideas but no finance-he must be really wicked? When I finally received the Holyspirit and I came across this passage,I got a clear message from God for the first time. You cannot wield the full power and authority of God when you are still putting on your 'old garments' or having an 'old' mentality. You see, we have a Father who sees deep into our future. He knows about your present state,knows your tomorrow and even many years away. God will not give you something that you are not spiritually mature enough to handle because it will destroy you. When you are in Christ all things become new,but it is a process of transformation. Keyword there is process! We begin to undergo changes in various aspects of our lives,some of which might take years-depending on how we open ourselves to God. The sad thing is we always try to put the cart before the horse, but God loves us too much than to allow us go down that road,so he simply holds back and waits for the horse to return to its rightful position. God will not pour his resources into an old vessel or someone still living with the 'old' mentality,neither will he pour his blessing into a vessel that is leaking or broken. The blessings of God are so powerful and need to be contained in an equally powerful container/vessel or else it can destroy that vessel. Pride,selfishness,vanity,anger,laziness,impatience,backbiting,etc, are some of the 'little' things that weaken a vessel. They seem so little we tend to ignore them but they are the major things that delay a lot of people's blessings; so we feel we are ready but God knows you are not ready. God will not give a pastor who has anger his full power and authority because one day out of anger he will just call fire on the congregation(joor o). Same way he will not bless someone with pride because the person will just go and isolate himself in VGC and forget the people God requires him to help. The prodigal son forced the hands of his father,but was overwhelmed by the riches given to him and it nearly destroyed him. Do not force the hands of God,stick to your training and become a vessel unto honor. Finally,ask yourself this; where do your treasures lie? Is it your career? Is it your ambition? Is it your appearance? Is it the things of God? Is it all about you? Which thoughts dominate your mind? When you answer this questions, I believe you will be a step closer to that blessing you have been waiting for. Remain blessed and happy new month! 2 Likes |

Everybody at least has that one thing that stands you out from the rest of the pack. I drove through Allen some nights ago with some friends and since I am mostly in Ile-ife, I was able to see one of the havens for prostitutes in that area for the first time. I am not the kind of guy who would pick up a prostitute,no disrespect to those who do(I believe you have your reasons,whatever it is) but am very curious about a lot of things. So while we were there a man pulled up in this very nice bentley,and called the biggest girl there.....he did not negotiate at all because she just got her bag and hopped into the passenger's seat. I was disappointed because,I felt in that car you should be cruising with the finest of girls and not even be seen in a place like that not to talk of picking up a girl that to me was not it at all. This morning I thought and the phrase "selling point" came to mind. Her selling point to that particular guy must have been the fact she was Big. That raised some questions about selling point in my head....is it all about physical attribute and appearance? Why then are there varying opinions? Selling point should be a generally accepted quality,something that gets you acceptance without arguments or debates but it is shrouded in vanity. A lot of people do a lot of things to make themselves marketable commodities forgetting that human beings are complex and very different in their thinking and reasoning. There are too many angles to address this from; what is cool today is uncool tomorrow,some like thick some like thin,some are scared of truth,and some live for the truth. My mum for example becomes apprehensive when someone is very nice while my Dad just loves such people. My candid advise is not to dwell on having a selling point but rather make yourself positively useful in whatever place you find yourself. Develop rare qualities which would make you missed when you are not there, and relevant in your family,relationship,society and place of work. Do not be the gossip girl or the booze boy,because you would soon outlive your relevance once real business comes up. At the end of the day,its important not to expect anything in return,see it as a service to yourself because one thing I always and will always preach is humans are very selfish and do not care what you feel. Everything is time and season,and one day someone would care enough to see this qualities you have worked hard on and not just your "selling point" which has an expire date. |

Final thought; Life gives you what you put in most times and it is also very unfair some times. There are some who are destined to labor while some are destined to reap. Some of us are destined to labor so our children would have sweet lives. David labored and fought while Solomon inherited the peace. At the end of the day David still had a more accomplished life. Its not about enjoyment or fun,it is about what you leave behind regardless of what you are given at birth or provided to hustle with. The word enjoyment to me is a deceiving word rooted in selfishness and has become one of the biggest problems in the world and most especially Africa. A continent where one man continues to acquire wealth for his own enjoyment at the detriment of his neighbor and people. Where an individual siphons the pension funds of the old and uses it to purchase shoes,cars and properties at the detriment of many men,women and children. My mum approached me recently and asked me; You are praying asking God for money,disturbing Him to bless you....if he blesses you, what will you do with the money? I thought for a minute and said I will reinvest the money and keep building my business. I felt I answered smartly because at least I did not say I would spend it on cars and comfort. Then she replied and said when God blesses a person,he does it so that you can use the money to impact on people's lives and help others not just so you can keep the money to yourself. This really is the way to live and guide your footsteps; by living for one another and not just yourself. Recently I realized I have come under enormous pressure which was self inflicted and I did not know why until some days ago. The pressure had built over a period and it was because most of my focus has been on me and what I do not have,what I want to have,where I should be now and not taking a second to look around me and see who I can help. The truth is when you spend so much time looking at your problems,gradually you will isolate yourself from reality and begin to think life is unfair to only you. You will be blind to the problems of your friends,brother,neighbor,family and you won't be able to see that there are many people who have been where you are,many who are going through your same difficulty and many people who wish to be in your shoes(which you so much despise). Alas, you will only see those that appear better than you. My advise if your in this phase is to look around till you find someone you can help;if its 100naira you can afford to give the person a week,do it....and if its food,do it....and if it is support,do it(don't be self centered). This will help bring balance to your life and make you feel good about yourself(improve your confidence and believe in yourself). Ecc9:11 At the end of the day its important not to run faster than God. You can hustle but never jump where the eyes of God would not follow you. David played his hustle when he came out to challenge Goliath(God did not ask him to),and so did Joseph when he asked the chief butler to remember him after interpreting his dream(Gen40:14). Follow your hustle but fear God in everything and never seek the easy way out/shortcut. The book of Proverbs,chapters 14 & 16 are great passages to read and helpful in learning how to work through the hassles of life. The whole Proverbs is helpful,as a matter of fact.....I pray God helps us all achieve our destinies! 1 Like |

Sometimes we get sucked into the waves of life and lose our way. We get carried away by the enormous obstacles in our paths and forget that nothing good comes easy. In a crooked and perverse generation its easy to get fooled by the shenanigans of people and indeed from the biblical point of view the devil. But one important thing I have learnt in the last few days is that temptations are a test of our values(what you stand for),and if at the face of these tests those values are compromised then it can be easily said you have no values. Another important thing to note is that GOD prepares us for whatever we are supposed to become or achieve through all these troubles. Two scenarios to buttress this point are the stories of Joseph and David. JOSEPH He was the father's(Jacob) choice,and clearly disliked by his siblings. The love his father had for him was emphasized with the gift of the 'coat of many colors'. It does not take math to decipher that Joseph was a pampered child and pretty pompous too. The question you ask is how does a pampered child like Joseph manage the resources of a whole nation for 7years during a farming. The answer is God prepared him; first he got a rude awakening to the realities of life by his brothers betrayal and learnt humility and management as a slave under potiphar. Then came the test of values;if he slept with the master's wife he would have enjoyed his time as a 'slave', which will include meals,extra money at the side,etc. But the fact is he would have lived the rest of his life as a slave or maybe one day potiphar would catch him and have him hanged. If he failed the test,he would have gotten nowhere near that prison cell,AT the right TIME and hence would have missed his destiny. DAVID He was brave and it is very clear he loved God from the way he stood up to Goliath after he blasphemed against Israel. Unlike Joseph,he was not the favorite and was even overlooked when Samuel came to anoint the next King in the house of Jesse. The question here is how does someone who was overlooked by his own father become King and conquer all his enemies expanding and enriching his Kingdom? The answer also is that God prepared him. He defeated Goliath,was loved by all,he was betrothed to the King's daughter,friend to the Prince and was welcomed in the palace for his harp playing skills. Then came the test(s).....First David already knew he was to be King and Saul had attempted to kill him with a spear while he played the harp but he never retaliated. Yes, in a time where you take over a man's throne by slaying him, anybody driven by greed and not understanding the plan of God would have killed Saul while he slept. If David did that he would have ascended the throne too early and would have not gone through the next phase of preparation which I believe is the most important; learning to lean on God. LEANING ON GOD This was the period when Saul pursued David in the wilderness. He was without food and resources many times and learnt how to be resourceful and most of all to always seek the face of God/wait on Him. He learnt what the Bible terms as "be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove". When you are in the wilderness with a handful of men by your side and thousands trying to cut your head by all means necessary; this is no longer a matter of skill or bravery but learning to trust God. He was presented with the opportunity to kill saul in the wilderness but spared him,because God had not commanded it. Like seriously,who does that? Sparing an unrelenting enemy who you know will still come back to kill you and has far more resources(food,weapons,men,etc) at his disposal. David did, and that is one of the reasons he was a man after God's heart. He learnt total submission to the will of God and did not negotiate a shortcut to success. How many of us have slandered or 'killed' our neighbor/competition just to rise up in our place of work or schools? How many more have lied,cheated and even scammed to the top? All the battles David fought as King,he always sought the face of God and that is why he conquered all his enemies. If he ascended the throne by his own understanding he would have fought those battles relying on his own understanding and one thing for sure is Life is not 1+1=2......at least most times.

bukatyne: I hope you really mean all this you have typed. I must say any woman with this understanding is truly blessed. That is what I keep telling my little sister; don't jump on a guy because of his money but because of his brains,ambition and drive and most importantly because he will do anything for you(you can shape him as you like). I have an aunt married to this very rich man,they live in the most porshe part of lagos,have fleet of cars but she's only allowed to drive one of the cars(which is the smallest),the only time she ever goes near other cars is when he's away on a 'trip'. My Dad on the other hand doesn't have a house worth a billion naira but we have properties in middle class areas in lagos and the very house we live in now, every member of the Family contributed to it in some way,I know how much of my mums money went into the windows and decking and that's why my Dad always tries to give her whatever she asks because she's very supportive and helped him build from scratch(they started from the bottom). There's nothing wrong in marrying a rich man(infact money is very good), what is wrong is when the riches blinds you to his damaging faults and corrupts your decision. We all know the story of GEJ;Patience used to feed him from her mum's canteen while he was in school while they were dating. She saw something other than riches and now its visible that she has a strong hold(forget sambo,she's no2 in Nigeria) over the Grand Commander of The Federal Republic of Nigeria;"the man who had no shoes". My advice is don't be that woman watching Tv and wondering if I knew; shine your eyes properly! |

I will pay for a concert for me and my wife and then on national Tv,my wife who is supposed to be the mother of my kids will leave my side and hop on stage with an artist and be shaking bumbum and breast to lewd music to the amazement of everyone. You along with the people who liked this filth you just typed are sick! Are the wives of dignitaries the standard? Shameless old women who do not understand the meaning of the positions they've found themselves. Will you see michelle obama or hilary clinton(those are respectable dignitaries)shaking bumbum for 50cent and dancing to 'shake ya tail feather or candy shop'. Its a sign of respect when you go out with your partner be it husband or bf to stick with him/her and not wander but apparently you lack that understanding.

So I got really drunk when I was five(don't ask how)....I had to be hospitalized for a whole day and put on drip too. The reactions that followed this incident were much and varied across the different quarters concerned;my parents were obviously worried and responded by disposing of anything alcohol in the house,my uncles(especially the 'soji' ones) grew fond of me and paid more attention to me,my aunts just became my premature 'wives' and smothered me with attention-i was legend! I just basked in the euphoria,built a high level of confidence and adapted to my new found status as the bad boi.... The cliche thing is that popularity can be addictive like all other things that boosts an individual's ego and it cuts across all ages and denominations. I unconsciously learnt the way to be popular real quick-be bad! So it really was not a surprise when I wrote a letter to a girl(who was a year my senior) and her friends raised so much fuss about it until a teacher got to know. Then I was in primary three. I got lashed a few strokes and did not even move(plenty of practice from mum's cane made me stronger). I won more fans and friends with my cane 'chesting' skills and even right from primary school,the girls crushed on the bad boys;so it became a win win situation. As I got older,I learnt a lot more about popularity and staying in the news. My appetite got bigger and I had to do big and unimaginable things. I grew spontaneously creative as an opportunity to impress never passed me by. Fortunately for me I found myself in the right hunting ground-King's College. My dad on his first visit to the school described it as 'no man's land'- portraying the sorry state this once great school is at now. It truly was a no man's land as nobody cared if you came for classes or not,and I abused this opportunity to the utmost. I was always on the field,playing tennis or chilling with my cousin who was a senior. I remember slapping a senior student for insulting me and slapping me as well(I was beaten so badly I explained why I was crying to almost everyone on the road) but at least I had made a point. I only spent two years in the school because my parents feared I was becoming a thug. I transferred to a private school(mixed) and it was like a blessing,the only hitch was the tight supervision. It was not easy at first but if you look well and hard enough everything has a loophole waiting to be exploited. A more 'civilized society' required a more subtle approach which I came to realize. The common thing in human relation irrespective of place is that more than one or two persons share the same view on a particular issue and so therefore they would ally. More importantly adolescent people crave a certain level of freedom but not all of them are bold enough to go down that road and so they associate with those who dare to be 'bold'. The good thing then was that because it was a private school and there was plenty rich folks,flogging was really frowned at and happened only rarely. This actually made it possible for you to argue your case or defend yourself because almost all offenses were dealt with by the principal and so I developed a better part of my brain into wriggling out of offenses. I remember the number of illnesses I had or how many times we moved or changed drivers;one time it was a nervous disorder that made my hand shake so I could not draw in biology class or any other class for that matter. I spent so much time calculating my moves everyday, it reflected in my mathematics. Funny but true;I created a pseudo-graphical representation of my popularity in my mind. This made me know when my curve was going down and in response I did one or two things to keep myself in the news....it was all business most times! School became a Roman coliseum with an expectant crowd yearning for more 'blood' whilst looking for the next best thing.....to be continued. Till next time take care of yourselves,live good,work free and think deep. And for those of you who always like the moral side of a story; learn that children know more than you actually think they do,because even though they are not old enough to consciously take up things the subconscious mind is timeless and without age. Sometimes you see kids act in a way you cannot explain;many times its what has been stored up in the subconscious and not 'demons'. Pay more attention to kids especially from the ages of seven, they are actually smarter than you think and even than they themselves are privy to. |

obinna-kenedo: Myopic thinking! I am from the Niger-Delta and I really do not care if GEJ gets re-elected,I do not bloody care if the next president is a Northerner;infact I will even vote for him if I feel he is the right candidate. Before my state comes my country,I am a Nigerian and a Patriotic one at that! The President does not represent his state or the south-south,he represents Nigerians globally and internationally. You have developed a personal vendetta and I advise you go settle those 'demons'. Reasoning with sentiments is blinding. |

Afrocatalyst: I think he made sens bt as we all knw,character does nt equate with spoken words. His words made sense bt he does nt stand on them politically,nt bizness-wise. Let the best man win come 2015. Point of correction,let the right man win! The best man in Nigeria setting,be it presidential race to Jamb exam is not necessarily the right man because every facet of our social biography is riddled with corruption and inefficacy. |

jjcbuthot: You lack understanding,from all indications tambuwa/amaechi are going to jump parties. Anyone who follows the current trends in Nigerian politics will be privy to this! People like you are the problem Nigeria has today,simply put;you do not know anything. |

Subomi-luv: This is actually the problem 'naija' women have. You hear your mothers,gfs,sisters talk about dictatorship and hence men are dictators. Actually the matter is deeper than you think and you look at it. Ask yourself this question....what thought dominates your mind? For me I'm constantly(obsessively) thinking on ways to make it financially,get into positions of authority and same goes for a lot of guys my age....you hardly see this in girls of same age. I ask myself why a lot of girls even the ones who swore they can never date a 'Yahoo boy' 2years ago are now comfortable in the passenger seats,go through the harshest of emotional traumas all for peanuts. Why don't they do the 'yahoo' themselves and save themselves the stress(emotionally and sexually). The truth is God designed man and woman to coexist in love,dependent on each other but fact is God also designed man to be in charge. Women who understand this will find peace instead of constantly fighting with an imaginary 'Adolf hitler'. I won't make any comparisons but the fact is a lot of Nigerian women lack this understanding due to over exposure to American culture(which is dirty and without moral foundations). Do you want a husband who splits all the bills equally with you i.e from school fees to gas money(in the name of gender equality). Right from a young age girls are sheltered from a lot of things and the boys pushed forward(carrying heavy objects,receiving lesser pocket money). Fact is guys do or are made to do a lot of things to please the woman;right from courting and even going into marriage take up a lot of responsibilities without complain. In this light I think massaging our egos isn't too much to do on the woman's part. Women have a privileged role in a home and that's why even though I have a wonderful Dad I still get along more and adore my mum a whole lot which is the same almost everywhere,so I wonder if not for selfishness why you still try to rub shoulders with a man all in the name of not being dictated to-paranoia! There's nothing equal about the genders;anatomically,naturally and even morally. 2 Likes |

Vested Interest; I spend most of each day thinking about YOU,what your doing,who you are with,your safety,if you have eaten?....I see a dress and I say to myself 'that would look good on her',because I understand her body(I think of it everyday),I even dream of it....I see a hairstyle and I save the image on my phone because I know it would look good on her,why won't It?»»»I've seen her face a thousand times; I know the taste of her lips,I play with her nose so much I'm sure it misses me when am not there,I kiss her ears because it makes her smile,I gaze into those eyes like there's something am looking for in there,I kiss her forehead because I just have to kiss every part of her at least once a day....my aspirations for her are so big,michelle Obama would envy what she becomes....In every of my plans she's there because that's how much she means to me. At the end of the day All I want is for you to standout,and be the best among your peers....that is my hustle,that's my brag! This takes me to the focus of the day,I remember back in my secondary school days when I kept on 'relaxing' my hair. Everyone,especially the girls would tell me how good I looked and how hot I was; so it didn't really matter when my teachers gave me a hard time or that I was slowly dropping down the pecking order for 'prefectship'-beef I said to myself.... I would try as hard as I could to avoid my parents at home during those periods(wear hooded tops,head warmer,press my hair down,raise my head up when am talking to them,lol) but they still noticed. What happens next is the shouting and complaining from my mum and the calm but long lecture by Dad, then afterwards straight to the barber's shop. I would still do it again once my hair is grown, and then one day my mum called me and said to me calmly(she is usually more aggressive);there is no one in the world who loves me more than the way they(parents) do and so no other persons opinion or view about me should supersede theirs because they have a vested interest in my life....Those words did not mean much to me then but now they do. Those around us who help to caress and massage our egos are just like those young girls who thought my 'fried' hair looked good;no permanent interest in your life just 'cinderellas' in your reality! A lot of men would lose their perfect families because one girl who wants their money would tell them their big pot belly(which the wife has been complaining about) is so 'sexy' and a sign of 'good' living....Same goes for the women too. So my advice to anyone reading this is to listen to those who will tell you what you do not want to hear and show you the bitter truth because those who have 'vested interest' see beyond the glamour of today into the challenges of tomorrow. 3 Likes |

| Music/Radio / Re: Kanye West Titles Album "Yeezus" by Docii001(m): 7:17pm On May 20, 2013 |
Its his SIXTH album,out of 12 calendar months he decides to launch it on the SIXTH month,and finally out of 30days in the month of June he picks the 18th day which happens to be addition of 6+6+6(certainly not coincidence)....I'm not insinuating anything because I don't know if its a publicity stunt but even at that,I would say its a little to much from Kanye West on this illuminati issue. And I would like to think he his embracing the whole idea and if(of which there is) there's a devil out there by now I think Kanye west has gotten his attention;definitely not as an enemy but as a fan. |
