Do I Really Need God To Succeed In Life?

Image
I once stumbled on an online discourse on success and I thought to share my thoughts here. Everyone wants to succeed in life, for Christians however, the temptation is there, either to leave everything to God or to try to take things into our own hands. When it comes to the subject of achieving success, there are usually two schools of thought. 1: Believe in yourself, the power to succeed lies in you. 2: Trust in God, only Him can give you success. WHICH IS RIGHT? Here's my submission on the matter. It depends on the context. Both could be right or wrong. There is a sense in which you must believe in yourself and step out in the strength of that belief. In doing this, you put away all doubt and defeat mentality and believe you can achieve success. Conversely, there is a place of trusting in God for everything. Knowing that without Him you can do nothing, and achieve nothing of true worth. Someone has rightly said that you must work as if you will not pray and then pray as if you wi

THE LIVING DEAD 1

The 7th of May 2006 was a cold day with really gloomy weather in the city of Hopkinsville. It has been drizzling since daybreak and it is yet to stop. It’s typical of a day when most people would prefer to stay indoors except they have a serious and unavoidable engagement. Most people would be indoors but not Mr Resilien. Mr Resilien had been standing at the same spot on Rest avenue since about 30 minutes ago. With a warm smile and an affectionate “ How is your day going?”, he hands out leaflets to passers-by. The leaflets are actually tracts containing the gospel message of divine love and redemption. Although most people did not bother to grant him the slightest glance or even expend effort to stretch forth their hands to collect the tracts, Mr Resilien seems to be unperturbed. He genuinely cares for these people and he knew many of them to lack the comfort of the divine love in their hearts. After about two hours of handing out tracts and sometimes being ignored. He retired for the

WHY IS IT WRONG TO MARRY AN UNBELIEVER AS A BELIEVER?

Image
God, through the Holy Scripture, gave us a clear command to not be unequally yoked in marriage, but you see, the carnal mind is in enmity against God. People who are not walking in the Spirit, who just want to have their own way sometimes many choose to wrest the scripture, which is of course to their own destruction, to justify their inordinate affection when it comes to marriage.  What Exactly Does It Mean To Be Unequally Yoked In Marriage? A yoke was used in the Bible era to join two animals together to plough farmland. It is always wise to use animals of similar temperament, strength and speed to make the process easy and smooth. Imagine joining animals of differing tempers together. No single work will get done! Animal A wants to rest while B is rearing to go! Imagine having the animals kicking and biting at each other, will anything get done? God cares about our well-being, that is why He gave the command that you as His child should not join yourself to an unbeliever.  Now, let&

SOME REMEDIES THAT DO NOT WORK DURING COLD WEATHER AND WHAT WORKS

"REMEDIES" THAT ACTUALLY MAKE THINGS WORSE FOR YOU DURING DRY SEASON 1. Licking your lips every time. The dryness and low humidity of the dry season make you feel like you constantly have to moisturise your body. The lips are a part of the body that are worst hit by the low humidity due to their being more exposed to the harsh weather. You, therefore, find yourself tempted to lick your lips several times in the attempt of moisturising them. Don't! It 's a trap😀 Your constant licking would make the dehydration worse and even make the area around your lips scaly, red and painful in worse scenarios. Do this instead, dip a washcloth in warm water, dab your lips with it and then apply lip balm, shea butter, chapsticks to seal in the moisture. 2. Bathing with very hot water because of cold This is another mistake most people make during extremely cold weather. In an attempt to escape from the numbing cold, people decide to bath with hot water in order to

Have you ever gone shopping for fragrance and you get there just to be at loss of what to choose? All you want is to smell nice but you begin to see different labels like parfum, eau de parfum, eau de cologne, eau de toilette, eau de fraiche. Sometimes some are labeled as perfumes, sometimes parfum, another is tagged body mist, yet another is tagged body spray or even body splash. At this point, you are totally lost and you wonder which is which. Well, wonder no more! I am here to sort it all out for you. Basically, fragrances are composed of aromatic oils and scents suspended in alcohol and water. What sets the different types apart is the concentration of oil in alcohol and water and the concentration level of each of the components. The concentration of the oil in alcohol and water determines how long the fragrance will last on you and of course the price. The higher the concentration, the higher the price and the duration of the fragrance on you. So, wha

HOW TO CHOOSE WHAT TO WEAR

Image
Hello readers! A quick question: Which do you prefer? Shoes, Sandals or Slippers? We have listed above a broad category of footwear. Ladies naturally have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to their wears.  Each person's choice depends on the kind of look they want to pull off, how comfortable they want to feel, and the occasion they are dressing for. Another determinant of the choice of what to wear is the weather condition. You will agree with me that what works for winter will not work for summer. What works in cold weather will not work during the heat. Your choice of what to wear also depends on your mood. Naturally, people tend to gravitate towards darker and somber colors when they are not feeling so upbeat. While brighter colors are the natural choices for a happy carefree person. As I said earlier, it all depends on the choice. So, which is your choice? How do you choose what to wear? How do you choose which outfit to match with s
