1)Rest we forget!!!
War does not determine who is right but who is left!
2)Military doesn't start war,politicians starts war!
3)Older men declare war,but it is the youth that must fight and die!
4)In peace sons Bury their fathers but in the war fathers Bury their sons!
5)War is when young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other!
Enjoy your weekend.

The photo shows a fast race between dogs and a cheetah, the goal was to see who was the fastest.

Everyone was surprised that the cheetah did not budge from its place. We asked the race coordinator, “What happened?”

After seeing this picture, he replied:

“Sometimes trying to prove that you are the best is an insult.”

We do not need to go down to the level of others, to show our strength.

Think carefully and save your energy for what you deserve.

The cheetah uses its speed only to hunt, not to prove to the dogs that it is the fastest and strongest.

Don't waste your time proving your worth. Your time and your self worth is more important than the image of you they hold.

If they can't see it, don't bother trying to make them.

COMMAND YOUR MORNING!!

A LESSON FROM BEANS THROWN AWAY

It is a practice that only the best beans should be cooked. Before you cook beans you go through a selection process in which all the seemingly bad beans are thrown away so only the good beans remain for cooking.

However, when rain comes, the bad beans you threw away in the backyard become seeds, germinate and grow into beautiful crops, with luscious leaves.

From them come plenty of bean seeds and the very same person who judged and threw them away will pluck the leaves and seeds for a healthy meal.

You may be judged, despised and discarded today, but, who knows, the same people judging you will turn to you in your moment of glory.

Do not curse yourself when the world look down on you. Your rain could be a matter of time. Your germination moment could just be around the corner!

Never loose hope in everything you do. Keep pushing as you wait for your rain…

FORGIVENESS IS NOT A DESTINATION,IT’S A JOURNEY WHOSE FIRST STEP IS NOT THEIR APOLOGY...long preaching alert

Genesis 50:15-21 New International Version (NIV)
Joseph Reassures His Brothers
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.


I think the word forgiveness is easier said than done, despite how sanctified, anointed and filled you are, sometimes you have struggled with forgiveness .At one time in life ,someone will do something into your life, that is so evil and ugly in your life that will put your Christianity to test..at this point you realise that forgiveness is not as easy as it is said.Have you ever dealt with betrayal,maliciousness,a repeat offender,a person who knew what he/she ought to have done to you but did exactly the opposite?Many are the times i have found myself in the situation…TRUTH BE TOLD ,I STRUGGLED TO FORGIVE..Ifyou have found yourself in the same situation ,I would like you to read the verse and the text above….you all know the story of joseph and his brothers

Joseph is the eleventh male child born to Jacob.Jacob was favoured by his father above any other child.The trouble begins in chapter 37,when joseph had a dream to greatness,it is not the dream of becoming great that lands him into problem…the problem was sharing the dream coupled with his fathers favor.This triggered envy and anger in his brothers—ending story was throwing him in a pit.Wish not to elaborate the whole story..but joseph lifes seemed tobe moving from bad to worse and to worst.pit-prison-being abandoned but the bible says in every situation God was with him, God favored him and became the prime minister.In chapter 42 Joseph is put in a place where each one of us would want to be in when someone has done you wrong.He is second in command after pharaoh .It is at this point we see his brothers coming for assistance-food,The brothers did not recognize Joseph but Joseph did..what do you do when you are in a position to revenge to those who did you wrong?Joseph was in authority ,could have taken this “ripe “ and suitable situation to revenge.How many times have we taken our situations to revenge and used the gospel of WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.when people who have done you wrong need you---you know the ka feeling.what would you do???

Look at what Joseph said—“don’t be afraid ,am not God.what you did,you meant for evil BUT GOD…worked for my good.Can you feel the forgiveness in the response??This brings us to anatomy of forgives

1.DELIBERATE DECISION TO RELAESE YOURSELF FROM THE ANGER OF THE OFFENDER/

Joseph didn’t allow his anger to control him ,dictate how he was to react to his brothers .What angers does is making you live in fear ,wondering when the wrath of God will fall upon the offender. This is where most of Christians are. They live with ears and eyes open just to know what is happening to their offenders…this will always make you afraid especially when the negative you are expecting to your offender is not happening.i know the offender frustrated you,stepped on your raw nerve,shared your secrets with some aers not meant for sharing….but don’t let anger control you/control your response.

2.TAKE TIME TO WORK THROUGH YOUR EMOTION

Take time to read chapters 37 all through,whenever Joseph wanted to confront his brothers ,he would leave them and go to a separate room,he cries himself up and come back .He realiased if he talked to them out of his anger and emotions ,he would never forgive them.check verse 23 verse 31,the bible says when Joseph left his brothers and he did not come back before he controlled himself.This took him some time.He did not see his brothers the first time and just forgave them. SOMETIMES FORGIVENESS TAKES TIME.You are not less of a Christian if you don’t forgive immediately and instantly. Sometimes you got to go through hurt.Forgivess is not just a destination but a journey that you have to choose to start.The first step of this journey is not their apology but your deliberate decision to forgive.If you wait for their apology ,you may never embark on this journey called forgiveness,since not everyone values the words AM SORRY.doest it mean that if the words am sorry never comes your way ,you will never forgive?The first step is to let your anger go away.how does this happen ?good you asked..see what joseph does …he sees his offenders infront of him but he looked at where he was.(prime minister)When the past of who did wrong to him was infront of him,he compared to what God had done in his life .He compared his past and current position and acknowledged that it had taken the hand of GOD.thats where we go wrong ,sometimes we either don’t see what God has done in your life since we only keep our eyes with what the offenders did or we use our current great position to ashame our offenders. Mark what Joseph said when he compared what the offenders and his current position..you meant everything for EVIL ,BUT GOD….i only wish we can be using the two words in our lives BUT GOD…when you compare what the Lord has done into your life.when you get BUT GOD in your CV ,you are good to go.

3. FORGIVENESS REQUIRES A DIFFICULT DISCUSSION ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THE OFFENSE

When Joseph brothers came to him for assistance, they did not recognize him but joseph did.look at whatever josepd did.he asked them to tell him about their family.It is at this point that they narrated all their siblings…and mark what they said about joseph…he died.Joseph response was—that is not true.Joseph did not want to forgive and live a lie.It is at that point he tells his brothers “you meant to harm me but GOD…..If joseph bought their story ,then both parties would be living a lie.This is exactly what happens in real life and especially in marrriages,sometimes things will still go to south even after forgiveness because of this mistake of living a lie. Sometimes both parties need to ask the hard questions on the table, bring everything that led to separation /divorce and have the tough discussion of the offence. Make the other party understand the offense ,very rarely will you forgive an offense that is not known to the offender.Making the offense known to the offender doesn’t necessarily make them apologize but the offense will be known.You cannot forgive where you maintain a lie.Mostly many marriages fails in this stage…having difficult discussion about the offense.HAVE A TRUTHFUL TALK OF WHAT HAPPENED

4.DECLINE TO DISCLOSE THE OFFENSE TO OTHERS UNRELATED PARTIES

Sometimes forgiveness has failed coz of too much exposure of the offense to parties who were never to be in the picture.The offense doesn’t need to come up in every conversation .see what Joseph did,remember his position-he was deputizing pharaoh and pharaoh had won his heart.When he recognized his brothers ,despite the hurt and his position,he did not expose the offense to his senior /boss pharaoh.He understood who pharaoh was.He knew pharaoh loved him and would kill them for the offense they did or judge the brothers harshly.How much of the offense have you exposed to your friends,pastors,colleagues…name them.some of them may hinder the process of forgiveness by killing the offender.Whenever Joseph confronted his brothers,he never did it in front of Egyptians,he put his brothers aside.

5.UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DESTINY OF THE OFFENDER IS IN THE GRACIOUS HAND OF GOD

See what Joseph told his brothers,”don’t be afraid,am not GOD…yes they hurt you but remember you are not God .put everything including the offender in GODS gracious hands,He knows how best to deal .Put your hands off the offender and let God.The bible says pray for them that offends you…IT’S A TALL ORDER I KNOW..but that’s what the bible command us.remember there is a difference in praying for them and praying about them….choose praying for them.

Disclaimer :Forgiveness and reconciliation are not synonymous…Just because you forgive some mistakes doesn’t mean the next minute you will be out for lunch,in bed or ……

Have a forgiving season

"BEAUTY IS NOT ENOUGH"

David picked up his phone and called Margret (the lady he wants to marry)

"Hello! Margret, am in my family house now. You can come over let me introduce you to my mum."

Margret was happy, she jumped on her bed.

*"Is your mum at home now?"*

She asked with a lot of excitement. Trusting that David's mum will accept such a beautiful girl like her.

"She went to the market in town but she will be back shortly. Please hurry up and come over."

She threw her phone on the bed, picked up her towel and rushed to her bathroom.

*45 MINUTES LATER*

She was seated in a bus. The bus conductor was still calling for more passengers.

A woman in her mid fifties walked in to the bus.

*"please my daughter let me sit close to the door while you shift in because of my load, please" said the woman.*

Margaret replied
*"Madam abeg no disturb me oh, I first you enter this bus oh. If you no fit sit down for inside you better go find another bus."*

The mid fifty woman felt embarrassed, but she didn't utter any more words.
She squeezed herself in and sat down quietly.

*35 MINUTES LATER...*

"Oya make una come down sharp sharp" said the bus conductor.

They've gotten to the final bus stop.

Margret and the woman were standing under the sun waiting for bike.

Suddenly a bike came their way. They both beckoned on the bike man at the same time

"Okada!"

The bike man took a reverse and Margaret rushed towards the bike while the woman came behind her.

*"please, my daughter let me enter the bike because of my load, am expecting a guest soon and I have to go and put something on the fire for my visitor please."* Said the woman.

Margaret looked at her angrily and said

*"Madam, them send you come for me this afternoon? Abeg ooo tell them say you no see me oh!"*

She entered the bike and the bike man drove-off to her destination.

She got to David's family house, David gave her a warm embrace.

"I believe my mum will like you, who will reject such a beautiful girl like you?"

Margaret smiled believing David's mum will love her, after all she's a beautiful girl.

They were both seated waiting for David's mum.

David's mum walked into the sitting room, and to her greatest surprise she saw the same lady that spoilt her day sitting on her chair.

"David, what is this mannerless thing doing in my house?"
"Ah! Mum, she's the girl I talked to you about" he protested looking confused.

Margaret was already soaked in shame.
Her hands and toes were already vibrating.

David's mum explained all that happened to her son.
David was so disappointed at Margaret. And that was the end of their relationship.

Margaret soaked her pillows with tears that night, her bad character had destroyed her.

"Beauty is INDEED not enough"

*Mr. Samuel .K. had a job interview to attend at 10 a.m., but his wife developed complications at 9 a.m.*

He decided to take the wife to the hospital and leave for the interview thereafter, but on their way to the hospital, the taxi broke down.
It was already 10:30 a.m. before he could get another taxi.
*He arrived at the hospital at 11 a.m., dropped the wife and used the same taxi to go for the interview*.
He arrived at the interview venue at 12 noon(2 hours late).

He rang the bell but no one opened the door. Meanwhile, earlier at 10 a.m., the company mail delivery had rung the bell but no one opened the door too. When the door was finally opened, Mr. Samuel .K. said "I'm sorry, I came... " he wanted to apologise for coming late, but the Secretary interrupted before he could finish his statement and ushered him to the Board Room. *The Secretary said, "I apologise, Mr. Samuel .K., for keeping you waiting since 10 a.m.*
We actually heard when the bell rang at 10 a.m., but we were held up in a meeting with our company suppliers.

*However, we have sat since 8 a.m. to deliberate on your job specification*, your office and the salary."
Mr. Samuel .K. was baffled and said, "Ma'am, I haven't been interviewed yet’’. The MD answered him and said, "We decided not to conduct the interview at least to save time and also save the interviewees' money on transport.
*So we looked at the papers for the most appropriate person we wanted and we opted for you*.
Also, we had tested your patience this morning by keeping you waiting intentionally for 2 hrs. That's part of your interview. You won't be disappointed.
You’ll be shown your office, your secretary and the
driver assigned to drive your company's allotted vehicle. You’ll be on probation for 2 yrs."
He got the job!!!

*On his way out, his phone rang and it was the wife*.
She said, "honey, I was delivered of a bouncing baby girl." It was their third child and the only female child. He immediately named the child 'Miracle'.
*He got a double miracle same day. All the disappointments turned out to favour him*.
God positioned the mail delivery man to ring the bell at 10 a.m.
God also held them up in the meeting until Mr. Samuel.K. arrived.
_Note:_ *You might be held up by issues in your life and hope might be diminishing and you think the chance is gone. But you know what*? God's waiting for you to release His favour.
So don't go back along the way. Don't quit. Don't be upset by what you face along the way. In fact, God has already deliberated on your specifications.

One more thing: You don't have to go through any interview, since you have all the qualifications God wants.

*My prayers for you:*
1. God will position somebody at the right place and the right time for you who will ring the bell in your favour.
2. God will turn all your disappointments to be a blessing for you.
3. Every positive meeting will end in your favour and every negative meeting will scatter in your favour.

*May this be your portion*.
What are you waiting for? Sh👏🙏

Kicks of a dying horse.
Have you ever prayed against something, but instead of it ending..... it appears to get worse. Have you ever prayed for school fees, and just after praying, your child is sent home? Have you ever prayed for a relationship, and instead of getting better, it appears to end? Have you ever prayed for rent, and instead you get visited by Auctioneers?
Today, I've been reflecting about the phenomenon of kicks of a dying horse. Where things appear to get worse, just as you thought they were to get better.
In my walk of faith, I've gone through very many circumstances that contradict my expectations...... Until one day, I got revelation from Peter walking on water... Matthew 14...
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

You can clearly see that Peter walked for a good distance on water.....but just as he was about to reach Jesus.....the wind got worse, and he focused on the wind and started sinking. Jesus held him because he was very close, sinking takes a very short time, and had he been far, his hand could not have reached Jesus.
Many times, things appear to get worse near the destination. That is why it is critical to focus on the goal and never be distracted.
Every time a cow or a bull is slaughtered , You notice that the final kicks are very dangerous. Yes, the neck is already cut, and it is going to die anyway...... but boy!!!! The kicks that came even in the final moments.... are lethal. If you stand near the kicking bull, one kick can finish you.
That is exactly what happens in the Spiritual world. You may have cut off the neck of the issue you are praying about...... But if you allow yourself to see the distractions... you will get hurt.
Just like Peter walking on water, the enemy will always stir up things just when you are near the destination.
But Focus on the bigger picture, and avoid sideshows from the enemy.... And you will succeed. If you know the truth that the neck has been cut ( just as in Slaughter house experience) you will know that No matter how many times the enemy kicks.......the neck is cut and its a matter of time before the matter rests.
See the bigger picture, do not be scared by the dying kicks.
