Samson's parents had known the secret of Samson's strength since his birth, yet they told no one (Judges 13:5).
The day Delilah heard of it, she told Samson's enemies and brought Samson down to ordinary
(Judges 16:17,18)
THREE LESSONS:
1. Everyone qualifies for your love, but not all the people you love qualify to know the secrets of your life! Because, some cannot handle it, and others cannot wait to trade your secret for personal gain!
2. The enemy that will destroy you, will not come with a sword but with a smile!
3. Learning to keep your friends' secrets is not only about trust, but destinies are at stake. Nothing can be more dangerous and painful than to share your secrets with your enemy thinking they are your friends!
THREE CATEGORIES OF FRIENDS;
a.) Confidants - They will walk with you no matter how hard it gets. You need to be grateful if you have one
b.) Associates - They team up with you to achieve a common goal.....most of the time they compete for the same prize/goals with you! Be very careful with these kind, they may push you down in order to win the prize
c.) Comrades - They team up with you just to fight a common enemy. They will be gone once the enemy is defeated.....you should not be worried when they leave, they were there for a season.

DON'T MISS THIS!!!

A snake penetrated into a carpentry workshop. As it slipped, it passed over a saw and got slightly wounded. Suddenly, it turned and bit the saw, and biting the saw, the snake seriously got wounded in its mouth! Then not understanding what was happening and thinking that the saw was attacking "him," it decided to roll around the saw to suffocate it with all its body by squeezing it with all its strength, but it ended up being killed by the saw!!!
*Sometimes we react in anger to hurt those who have harmed us, but we realize after all that we are being hurt ourselves*.
*In life it is better sometimes to ignore situations, ignore people, ignore their behaviors, their words.*
*Sometimes it is better not to react so as not to suffer consequences that can sometimes be deadly or harmful.*
*Do not let hate take over your life because love is stronger than anything.*
Be wise and live healthy. God bless you all..

Whosoever wrote this is a genius and I'd like to meet the person. I copied it from a group and the author wasn't stated

*BALANCE*

1. *Noah* built the *ark* by faith but, he used measurements. There is a place for rational thinking in our walk of faith. Not all decisions should be made with blind hope!

2. *Sarah's pregnancy* was a miracle, but it took nine months just like any other. God's plans do not negate the importance of process. Sometime you need to wait or work it out.

3. The *stone* that killed *Goliath* might have been anointed, but *David's skill* was also involved. Developing skills does not mean you are not anointed. If you play a piano, play it to the fullest. Don't take us through the agony of listening to your cacophony in the name of "singing to the Lord". Skills are important. There is nothing rude with telling that sister "you can't sing, find something else to do in the house of God".

4. *Esther* received favor to become *queen*, but she also bathed and prepared her appearance. Preparation is key to become fit for the occasion. Get knowledge, go to school. Stop blaming auto-correct, check your spelling even here on social media. Prepare, because some of us expect nothing but the best from you!

5. The *promised land* was full of milk and honey, but they also had to plow, feed cattle, and take care of sheep. Miracles are communication tools that God uses to instill trust, faith and the knowledge of his nature. You need to work, don't expect miracles in a specific area of life all the time. No one pays rent for a full year with miracle money. We need it, we want it, but God wants what is permanent.

6. *God* is the one who *created human capacity* to memorize things, yet he also told many prophets to write their message. Spirituality does not mean we should not use tools to package the message.

7. *Ruth* received favor to marry *Boaz*, but the coaching of Naomi was necessary. Human coaching is necessary, you need to submit and learn from someone. It will spare you from silly mistakes.

8. *Moses* could hear directly from God, but he was wearing himself out with work, it was the wisdom of his father in law that saved him from dying a premature death with exhaustion. It is wisdom to put on a seat belt, brush teeth, and adhere to medical advise. Being spiritual does not mean asking angels to cook food for you!

9. *Namaan* was a mighty soldier and a friend of Kings, but he acted as influenced by a Jewish maiden. Even important people are influenced by"insignificant"people. The key thing is proximity that generates influence.

Mishandling of the natural world can cause hinderance to progress, and a total neglect of the spiritual world will definitely cause total failure in all areas of life.

*Balance is the key.*

*Touching Story.*
A cat was so faithful
that the woman
could leave her baby
with it & go out to
attend other matters.
She always returned
to find the child
soundly asleep with
the cat faithfully
watching over him.

One day something
tragic happened. The
woman as usual, left
the baby in the "hands"
of this faithful cat
and went out shopping.
When she returned,
she discovered rather
a nasty scene, there
was a total mess.

The baby's cot was
dismantled; his nappies
and clothes torn to
shreds with blood
stains all over the
bedroom where she
left the child & the cat.
Shocked, the woman
wailed as she began
looking for the baby.

All of a sudden, she
saw the faithful cat
emerging from under
the bed. It was covered
with blood and licking
its mouth as it had
just finished a
delicious meal.

The woman went
berserk & assumed
that the cat had
devoured her baby.
Without much thought
she beat the cat with
a wood to death.

But as she continued
searching for the
"remains" of her child,
she beheld another
scene. Close to the bed
was the baby, who
although lying bare
on the floor, was safe
and under the bed
the body of a snake
torn to pieces in what
must have been a
fierce battle between
it and the cat, which
was now dead.

Then reality dawned on
the woman who now
began to understand
what took place in her
absence. The cat fought to
protect the baby from
the ravenous snake.

It was too late for
her now to make
amends because in
her impatience and
anger, she had killed
the faithful cat.

How often have we
misjudged people and
*torn them to shreds*
*with harsh words and*
deeds before we have
had time to evaluate
the situation?
It is called
*SIN OF PRESUMPTION*

*Presuming things our*
*way without taking the*
trouble to find out exactly
what the situation really is.

Little patience can
drastically reduce major
life long mistakes.

*Who Are you misjudging*
*right now. Don't think,*
*what you think others*
*are thinking.*
Take time to get the
whole truth. Please be
patient with people,
lest you live to regret
your actions against
them.

Be quick to hear but
slow to respond and
become angry
*(James 1:19-27).*

*Share if you're touched*
*And Use it as a LESSON*

MRS NOE NOELA: “FAITH’S COOPERATION & SUPPORT”

Noe came home one hot afternoon with the rough sketches of a complex ship design in his hand and as he entered the living room, he slumped on the couch. Knowing that her husband was in, Mrs Noe lowered the gas cooker, covered the simmering chicken stew, wiped her hands, came out of the kitchen and instinctively pecked her husband while also patting him on the back. Noe had mixed feelings as he related how the Being appeared to him in his dockyard and gave him the specifications for this gargantuan ghostly project. What was worse is that the purpose for the “white-elephant” project sounded laughable and illogical. There was going to be rain and a flood. It had never happened before. Noe was not only to build an ark, but publish to the whole world that a flood was coming. It would appear like the ranting of a mad man to the State’s Climate Agency. The media would be awash with the story of a freakish flood-preaching maniac.

Mrs Noe (though we have nothing specific recorded about her, we can infer), supported her husband throughout the duration of the vessel construction and the flood campaign. Most times, she had to wake up earlier to prepare breakfast and pack lunch for her marine engineer husband, as he would rush out every morning and come back exhausted at night. Noe’s wife would massage his pain-racked body, give him a hot bath, a sumptuous dinner and some nerve-relaxing romance. She was in Noe’s life to be a helpmeet. She kept the home front, homeschooled her three boys and ensured they married right. She shared Noe’s vision and faith in God; and this translated to the wonderful support Noe got from her before and during the flood. Unfortunately, it appeared she died shortly after the flood, but we do know that her faith was effectively lived out in the unprecedented and passionate support she gave to her husband’s ship-building career and righteousness-preaching ministry. She, with her husband and three sons, and their wives, survived the flood, thanks to Noe's obedience, and her support. Her husband's success became her success.

Woman, no matter how ridiculous, lowly or humble; or exerting, unattainable, difficult or impossible your husband’s career, trade, ministry or purpose maybe; or no matter how much personal dreams and ambitions you have for yourself, you must always have his back. Wifehood is a ministry, a ministry of help and support. Support your man with all your feminine gusto. That is faith!

*True situational Analysis of Life.*

After Secondary School..
Some of our classmates have gone out of the country,

Others have completed universities and are now
Doctors,
Engineers,
Teachers,
Pilots,
Lawyers,
Administrators, etc.

Some have married,
Some have given birth.. .
Some are dead,
(Don't forget that too)

And others are confined in psychiatric homes.
Some are doing their masters programme, PHD, etc.

Some haven't even gained admission into the tertiary institution.

Some own companies,
Some are now Directors and majority shareholders of huge companies.

But how do you feel
When you meet your classmate, and it seems like he/she has reached his dreams
And you're not yet close to yours?
So many thoughts runs through your mind.

How about the one you meet on the street wearing dirty rags and feeds on the refuse dumps and drinks from the gutters?

Do you get the same thoughts running through your mind?

First God has not been fair to you.
But don't forget some are also dead.
Somehow feels like jealousy, its a normal feeling.

But, You must not regret your life.
We all are different
And our path to greatness
Is not same in distance.

Some might reach before you,
Some might reach
after you
But wherever level you are presently,
Please keep trying to break limitations and move further.

Celebrate the success of others, its an application
for yours.

Your friend buys a car now,
Be happy with him/ her. Remember when you get yours,
Theirs might not be the latest again.

Life is not by competition,
If not,
We all will be born into one type of family,
One religion and same in everything.

Let the passion in you never quench the desire in you
Keep it burning.

What you pass through,
Write it down because one day the world would be ready to read it.

There's no height you cannot attain,
Just believe.
Define goals and recognize distractions.

Spend time teaching yourself,
Because the things that
Mainly take people to the top
Are the things
They devoted time to develop.

Don't be intimidated by your fellow's success,
The sky is too wide
That the birds can fly
Without touching themselves.

Value the small things
That God brings
And comes into our lives
And love God
And do the work of God.
For with God,
All things are possible.

Now to those who are on top,
Never forget to give a helping hand
To those who are down.
Life is full of uncertainties;
The one you pull up today
May be the one to hold your hand
To prevent you from falling down.
A piece of advice there.

May our friendship grow
From strength to strength,
From grass to grace,
From zero to hero
And from Earth to Heaven.

WISH YOU MORE SUCCESS
IN THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

DON'T DRAG THE TRAY!
A man was sent to the annual national convention of his professional body by his company.
The convention was a congregation of about 10,000 people.
During one of the days at the covention, it was time for lunch and people were being served.
This man saw that, they were serving people beside him left & right but they were not serving him and the people on his row.
He shouted at the ladies serving and they told him to keep calm that there is enough food for everyone &that it will soon get to his turn.
He watched angrily as they passed the tray containing plates of soup and amala before him again twice without serving him.
When he saw another lady carrying the tray, he stood up angrily & drag the tray of ewedu soup to take his food by force.
Suddenly; the whole tray containing about 6 plate of soup landed on his head as he dragged the tray from the lady's hands.
His white cloth was stained, soiled and spoilt. Pepper got into his eyes and he was shouting,' my eyes ooo, somebody help me, my eyes oo, pepper in my eyes oo, '.
People around him had to drag him out as he could not open his eyes because of the pepper that was still in his eyes. It was a complete show of shame & a reward of impatience.
Dear reader, many of us are like this man, we feel others are already 'eating' success, breakthroughs, fame, popularity, academic excellence, accomplishments and we are yet to be served our own 'food' and we are being tempted to 'drag the tray' and take our own food by force.
Friends, I know waiting period is not an easy period. Atimes we feel our friends have left us behind. Many that we started as single ladies together are now married with children& here we are; still single and no ray of proposal talk less of marriage.
Some of us,many of our friends that we got married the same year are through with child bearing and here we are, no miscarriage once talk less of pregnancy, and we feel like 'dragging the tray'.
Atimes, many of us feel that many of our friends that we started work together have left us behind as we see their career blossoming, we feel the only way we can also see our careers validated is to 'drag the tray'.
Friends, be encouraged! The one serving this 'food' of marriage, success, promotion, career breakthrough is not a man. HE is GOD your Maker!
HE has your own plate of 'food' in HIS tray. At the appointed time, HE will serve you & when you will be eating your own food, those who have eaten before you will watch your mouth as you 'eat' with pleasure.
Don't 'drag the tray'. Don't take short cut. If you get the 'miracle' by 'dragging the tray' you will end up in ridicule as you will later be dragged out in shame as the 'pepper' in your eyes will make the end of your 'miracle' a show of shame.
If you are waiting for a man, you can waste time but if you are waiting on GOD, your waiting period is never a wasting period!
Wait on GOD. Your 'food' is closer to you than you think.
Don't drag the tray!
Don't drag the tray!!
Don't drag the tray!!

Did you know that …
Many Christians today live defeated, frustrated, wretched and cowardly because they don’t know who they really are or what rights and privileges they have in Christ. They forget that there are over 7000 promises in the bible just for them. The question is who really are you in Christ? Understand that;
1. You are delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of Christ.
2. You are redeemed from the curse of sin, sickness and poverty.
3. You are an overcomer, God’s workmanship, and a conqueror.
Keys ToMaintaining Your Position
There are about 5 keys for this;
1. Conscious Awareness of who you are and what you possess in Christ.
2. Absolute surrender and devoted-
ness “no man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this world” [2Tim2:4]. It keeps your residency and position permanent.
3. Word consumption & application “and where no wood is, there the fire goeth out” [Prov26:20]. It keeps you functioning and untouchable.
4. Frequency in God’s court “beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost [Jude 20].
5. Thanksgiving [Eph5:18-19]

In life what matters is positioning. Your position in life determines whether the life of comfort, enjoyment or fulfillment will ever be obtainable. Position is therefore the status or rank one occupies. Little wonder, why the King’s Son said “Occupy [your position] till I come.
In the Old Testament we can see clearly the power of positioning. “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, SEE, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt...and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt”{Gen 41:41,44}. Look at the effect of this; He [Joseph] rose from the prison to the palace, poverty to wealth, followership to leadership, a nobody to a man of power and great authority.
Understand this; His ascension is just the manifestation of his position in God. No man [in the physical] can rise above his position in God. In God’s Kingdom or Economy, there are four cardinal positions. Watch out; 1. Salvation position: It’s simply the ascension into God’s heavenly places by accepting his Son as your Lord and personal Saviour [Eph2:6]. By this you enjoy “all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”[Eph1:3] and escape from God’s judgment and the devil’s afflictions, Rev12:12, 20:11-15.
2. Sanctification position: It gives you the residency or certificate of occupancy in those heavenly places where you are. Therefore nobody can question you [Heb10:14].
3. Holy Ghost Baptism position: Releases the power and authority for manifestation and suppression of the kingdom of darkness [Acts1:8]. Finally,
4. Fullness Position: It is called the fourth dimension. Very few people operate here. It is a position of unlimited access into God’s mysteries, unparallel manifestations and possession of spiritual gifts. Paul said “That ye might be filled with all the fullness of God” and “Till we all come unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”.
We have to understand that all these, is by faith and its God’s free gift to his people. No son or daughter is allowed to crinch, whether in academics, spiritual, physical, financial, etc. Arise and take your position. Over and out 👌
