Let's talk about your attitude!

-

Dele walked into the law chamber with all confidence. He didn't bother to greet the small man sitting on one of the chairs at the reception area. He had come to see Barr. Ayodeji (SAN), the owner of the chamber and friend to his father. He has no time for small talks that make small people feel important.

He went straight to the receptionist to demand to see the boss, but before he could open his mouth to talk, the small man addressed him. 

"Hello, young man" 
"Yes?" Dele responded. He didn't bother to turn to the man. 
"You didn't greet anyone when you came in..."
"Why should I greet you? You are not my dad neither am I here to see you." He interrupted rudely while turning his face to brazenly measure the man with his eyes from head to toe. His eyes were narrowed in anger. 

"Well, this is Yorubaland. We greet. It is expected for the sake of courtesy and good manners to greet people." Small man patiently explained. 
Dele ignored the man and turned to face the receptionist; raising his voice for the benefit of the small man. As usual, he did not bother
to greet her. Why greet her? Isn't she just a receptionist?
"Soon, I will be her superior."  He thought. 

"I'm here to see Barr. Ayodeji. I am Dele Alaileko, his friends' son."
"He should be expecting me." He added arrogantly.  
The smirk on the receptionist's face was unmistakable as she responded to Dele. Her response would change his life and mentality forever. 
"You just met him." She said simply.

"Your attitude determines your altitude. " You've probably heard this a lot. How apt!
Many of us think people are blocking our paths to success in life when we are actually our own adversary.
Maybe you only need to change your attitudes today so that your situations may change. 




Thank you for reading.

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

-

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.  ...

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...
