Walk your talk(walk the talk)

I just came back from my church sunday service.It's a special day for we the member's of Holy Ghost Anglican Church,Aba,Abia state,Nigeria.Today is for appreciating our church leader,The Rev. Canon Manasses Okere,his family and ministry.This man of God is a visionary and noble man.He is a mentor i admire a lot.Being his protege has really blessed my life.A story told by the sermoner touched me so much and that's what made me to leave my tight schedule to blog about it.He told us a story about someone who preached the gospel of christ in the bus and after the preaching some thieves inside the bus ordered the driver to stop and when they finish robbing the bus they ordered the preacher to step out,one of the robbers asked the preacher to confess that Jesus Christ is a fool.This preacher was shaking and very afraid.They told her once she proclaims that, they will leave her,if not they'll kill her.This preacher said/confessed that Jesus Christ is a foolish man and the thief shot her to death saying that Jesus Christ is not a fool(even evil people know that Christ is not a fool and can never be).Now this woman is dead,she lost heaven from what we know.Oh! she denied the man(Jesus Christ) she talks about at the most crucial time.Many of us are also guilty like this preacher.When we are tempted we succumb without surmounting the challenge.I know it's not easy most atimes but we should try to match our words(talk) with our walk and work. Lesson: we should always endeavor to stand up for what we believe.Anyone that saves his/her life for the sake of Christ will loose it,but anyone that looses his/her life for for the sake of Christ will regain it. Action plan:Make up your mind to defend and proclaim the risen Christ Jesus.It's for your own goodness and betterment. Benefits:If you walk your talk,you'll be a person of good character and integrity;an exemplary. PRAYER: Lord give us the wisdom,knowledge,understanding and strength to prevail at all times and in all things. Remain under the shadow of the almighty God.

Sagging the fashion craze

Thinking of the crazy fashion in vogue makes me weep in my heart.The fashion trend called sagging is an eyesore.From informations i gathered prisoner's recieve gifts of clothings from kind men and this clothes especially the trouser's are too big and when the prisoner puts it on the trouser will sag that is as if it's going to pull of.In a situation where the trouser is too jump-up the prisoner tries to push the trouser's waist down to make it stop looking like what we call 'I fear ground' during my secondary school days.Today people now dress this way.A lot of men and women no longer use belt or girdle to hold their trousers waist,these results to our seeing their pants or asshole for those that wear nothing inside.The word sag stands for something abnormal,so those who dress in this way are abnormal.Sagging is indecent dressing,we should desist from it because the way you dress is the way you are address.Sagging makes you look like a sex toy.Dress well at all times.

Secrets of family success

I hear so much of failed families.But what's right with those that are a success is still mystery to many. I want to discuss some key's to a happy successful family that has thrived for ages and is and will still be relevant. 1. Teamwork: In a successful family,husband and wife view themselves as "our"and"we" rather than "mine"and "me".when there's teamwork husband and wife are no longer single at heart but united.Unity is essential in the progress of any venture.United we stand,divided we fall. Follow me for more.

It's not over until it's over.

Hope is an expectation of something to happen or come.When we hope and the thing expected is delayed or not seen we go into the state of hopelessness.Many people can attest to what i wrote above.Whether you are a parent,business person,student,e.t.c,never loose hope,re-examine yourself because doing the samething always and expecting different result's is madness/insanity.Do your best and leave the rest to God.There's nothing like a hopeless situation;people only become hopeless about a situation.Read biographies of great men like Dale Carnegie,Abraham Lincoln,e.t.c,they rose to greatness with hardwork and the grace of God.It's not over until you stop breathing,that's death.You can make it.

Positive Attitude

One essential ingredient in winning battle against failure or becoming successful in life is positive attitude.Positive attitude isn't just positive thinking,it involves positive doing. Someone told me that ''not everyone is born an optimist".Whether you like it or not being optimistic is a choice.It's not easy being optimistic,but it gives hope for betterment.Atimes this hope is dashed but an optimist never loose hope.I have seen challenges and overcomed them,but it wasn't easy but with tenacity and perseverance i became an overcome.The audacity of your hope impacts your life.Our attitude affects our aptitude and altitude.Reading John C. Maxwell's book titled "failing forward"i came across an observation by university of pennsylvania psychology professor Martin Seligman that "the people who bounce back are optimists".I agree with him.Optimism is required for a positive transformation in life.Pessimism is a waste of God-given energy,it stagnates creativity.Pessimist can never win over optimism.Yes,wisdom is required in everything we do in life.Prof. Martin Seligman has developed a master's degree in applied positive psychology called M.A.P.P. i.e,master's in applied positive psychology. Choose today to have a positive mindset coupled with positive doing/action,then you will meet success.Failure is an event or detour and not a person.God is not a failure so,He never created one.Be positive,God bless you.
