Physical appearance is important to God in that it reveals the glory of His creative abilities. So we should appreciate the beauty God has given us as His most complex and amazing creation. God made reach and everyone of us  to look exactly as we do, for His own perfect reasons. Despite our very best efforts, man will never be able to come close to the beauty and majesty of God. We were in His image but in ways we cannot understand, God places some value on appearances if not, we did  all look the same. It is not a wrong thing for us to notice and appreciate physical appearance as well. But we ought to  remember that God judges our hearts, not our physical appearance. We should not fall into the trap of believing that our looks are to be a source of pride or envy. Our true beauty should come from inside, not from the fleshly beauty that the world judges us on. In 1 Peter 3:3-5 , Peter tells wives that their “beauty should not come from outward adornment, such ...

This is an extremely interesting year. It is what you can call a palm up, a palm down. Palm up - reception and collection. Palm down - loosing or turning away. Palm up for giving and generosity and Palm down for covering sins under which no man can prosper. continue reading

In Mark 3:35  jesus said that His true relations are those who know and do the Father’s will: “Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother” The most important  will of God is to repent of our sin and trust in Christ to Know him better and you having a good relationship with him. This should be the first in knowing God's will for our lives.  God is not trying to hide His will from us; He wants to reveal it.  * 1 Thessalonians 5:18 We are to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you”  * We are to do good works  1 Peter 2:15  God’s will is knowable and provable. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfec...

A boat overloaded with passengers in northern Nigeria has capsized, killing 21 people, according to the state rescue agency. The boat with an estimated 50 passengers on board overturned in strong currents in a river in the Gandi district of Sokoto state on Thursday, Suleiman Karim of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) told AFP news agency. "Rescue teams recovered the bodies of 17 women and four children on board the overloaded boat which capsized due to strong waves," he said. He said the other 29 passengers were lucky to make it to the shore. The passengers were heading to Garin Kare village on the other side of the river to check on their homes, which they deserted following deadly attacks last month by suspected cattle thieves in neighbouring villages. Thousands of the villagers fled to a makeshift camp after the bandits' attack, in which 32 people were killed and dozens of homes razed. Boat capsizes are common in Nigeria due to overcrowding and the...

A Chinese paper company will soon be producing toilet paper made from giant panda faeces and food scraps, state media said on Wednesday. Sichuan Qianwei Fengsheng Paper Company has engineered a way to recycle the copious faeces produced daily by the furry residents of the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda in south-west China, Xinhua said. The company signed a deal with the centre on Monday, according to the news outlet. Due to pandas’ bamboo-heavy diet, their excrement is fibre rich, the news agency said. Pandas produce 10 kilos a day of faeces and an another 50 kilos of “food waste” from bamboo left unchewed or spat out, making it ideal raw material for paper products. The giant panda is one of China’s most iconic animals and the subject of vigorous conservation efforts. It is classified as “vulnerable” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

SELF CONTROL By definition, self-control means you overruling your emotions because of a higher goal, Because you want to please and honor God you must go against your feelings of the moment.Self-control can also be described has the inward rule or regulation of every area of our life under the ultimate authority and control of God’s Spirit in line with His Word.God wants us to learn to control our lives under the control of His Holy Spirit,God’s Spirit helps us control our thoughts and actions Self control can be gotten either by natural temperament or by our upbringing. Self control primarily is from the inward and secondarily from the outward,its not self willed but connected with our will Lets ask ourselves this question, is self-control when someone keeps you from doing something, or when you can keep yourself from doing that thing? Self-control is when you control you, when you make yourself do the right thing not someone correcting you,our natural self wants to do bad stuf...

If there is one thing that saddens or sickens the heart, It is seeing a person with great potentials starts well and then end badly. This is something that can happen to any one and cuts through all areas of life. For example; in the world of sports, where youngsters such as athletes or footballers who have shown from the onset that they have a bright future, youngsters who had started so well that it seems nothing can ever go wrong. Yet, they end their promising careers because of things such as; a loosed lifestyle or drug abuse. While this is common, In other cases it could be seeing sports men or women getting crippled due to one accident or another and therefore bringing their career to an end, and in other cases due to bad characters or wrong peer group advice/association. While these may be sad, the saddest of all still remains seeing it happen spiritually. Many of us Christians might have seen or experience such cases; it might have happened to people around us, where...

   I will like to start by pointing out a similar question asked in the Bible by king David in psalm8:3-4 " When I consider thy  heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon  and the stars, which thou hast ordained;What is man, that thou art mindful of him?  and the son of man, that thou visitest him?     Back to the question why did God create us? God who created the heavens and earth with everything in it  needed no human hands to serve him according to Acts17:24-25 " God that made the world and all things  therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven  and earth, dwelleth not in temples made  with hands;Neither is worshipped with  men’s hands, as though he needed any  thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and  breath, and all things;"    He didn't make us inother not to be bored or lonely long before we were created he had company Gen1-26 makes us to know that he was with his son and the holyspirit " An...

Meningitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord known as the meninges. This inflammation is usually caused by an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is usually caused by bacteria or viruses, but can be a result of injury, cancer, or certain drugs Bacterial meningitis is spread from person to person. The bacteria are spread by exchanging respiratory and throat secretions (saliva or spit) during close (for example, coughing or kissing) or lengthy contact, especially if living in the same household. Viral Meningitis If you have close contact with a person who has viral meningitis, you may become infected with the virus that made the person sick. However, you are probably not likely to develop meningitis from the illness. That’s because only a small number of people who get infected with the viruses that cause meningitis will actually develop meningitis. Having meningitis doesn't always m...

Ighalo, who also doubles as Changchun’s captain, led the line for his side, but fired blanks as they suffered yet another defeat which has now ...

Dirty beige with grey-brown stain-like patches, Ming the clam was not much to look at. It did at least get a name, which is more than can be said for most molluscs. Estimated at 507 years old when scientists plucked it from the Icelandic seabed (and killed it) in 2006, the ocean quahog was the oldest known animal to have ever lived. In August 2016, researchers estimated a five-metre-long female Greenland shark had lived for 392 years, making it the longest-lived vertebrate. The mammalian lifespan record belongs to a bowhead whale, thought to have reached the grand old age of 211. Perhaps it is because humans have become so dominant in other respects that we are fascinated by species that outlive us. For biologists, examples of extreme longevity raise fundamental questions about why organisms age and die. And given that they do, why can individuals of some species live for hundreds of years while others get months, weeks or even just days? Humans are relatively long-lived. Some resea...

Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, may have run into fresh trouble with the Federal Government after it was found that he collected the sum of N8.877 billion from the N388.304 billion released to 35 states as refunds from over-deductions on London-Paris Club loans but only paid one out of the eight-month salary arrears he owed workers in the state. Fayose was also said to have paid a curious 13th month salary as bonus while the arrears of seven-month salaries owed the workers were left unpaid. A reliable source in the Presidency, who spoke in confidence with one of our correspondents yesterday, said President Muhammadu Buhari has lived up to his pledge to ease salary crises in all the states by releasing N388.304 billion to 35 states but many of the states failed to abide by the agreement they had with the President that they would give preference to settling arrears of workers’ salaries. The Presidency source said: “The agreement between the Federal Government and the state gove...
