Hey guys! Been a long while…yeah right! Well….this is another reflection of a program I attended….” Discovery for women” *make over* of which tara durotoye (house of tara), Ibukunoluwa Awosika, Yetunde Bernard, Olajumoke Olayera, Mrs koiki Laide (greensprings school), General manager of Chevron C.E.O ‘His majesty kitchen’, and the likes of them were in attendance…. “Every write-up I publish is a reflection of what have experienced or observed”
According to me! There are two set of people in the world: those that make the COMPLAINTS! and those that make the CHANGES!
If there was no problem in the perfect world God created, there won’t be any need for Christ to come over the way He did. But He has come n will still come again because He found a problem He needed to solve. He said He hasn’t come for the saved but for the lost sheep of Israel.
How did He go about solving? He started with the low-lives, the fisher men, the weak, and the nobodies. He taught them better ways of living life and showed them the brighter side of life..
What stops us from doing that in our own little way. Take Yetunde Bernard an image consultant for example; she made me understand that at a point in her life she realised there are a whole lot of things people were not getting right. These people were beginning to make it a norm like a tradition, a lifestyle..which is definitely not the G-lifestyle(GOD). So she decided to express reality….to bring light into the darkness that people were begining to take as light….she went into image consulting…teaching people the right way to dress, to eat, to talk, to play, to socialise, public behaviours and to live life better.. And now she’s been making waves, working internationally and nationally. Making a better life for herself and for the world in her own little way
Mrs. Ibukun Awosika (CEO) Sokoa Nigeria Ltd made me understand that, every single problem in this problem filled world we talk about is an avenue or opportunity for manifestation! An opportunity for discovery. The bible already made us understand, we are in the last days, these problems will keep arising but we must keep manifesting and overcoming. What does that mean to you. More problems will arise as well as more opportunities for the manifestation of the sons of God(us).
Problems come as a result of someone else’s failure to do certain things or perform certain responsibilities. Solutions come as a result of someone’s ability to be efficient and effective, responsible and active. The thing is the more people fail to perform their little responsiblities the more the problem arises until it becomes an issue that the same people begin to complain about…instead of making a change.
I’ll conclude with Philipians 4:8—- think on these things!! And a paraphrase of Micheal Jackson’s lyrics! ” If you really want that change, take a good look at the man in the mirror”… It begins with someone…that someone is you,me,and us

FIND A PROBLEM!

Don’t make a complaint, make a change. If there was no problem in the world God created, there won’t be any need for Jesus to come down n die right? But He came because He found a problem He needed to solve. That’s why He said He hasn’t come for the saved, but for the lost sheep of Isreal.
Jesus was so full of God’s glory, He had to manifest. When He came down, He encountered series of problems especially with those that He came for. Another avenue to manifest Gods glory. He began to make a change instead of making complaints of ‘nobody to work with’. How did He do that? By impacting n How did He impact? He started with the ‘low-lives’,’fishermen’,’the weak’,’the sick’,’the nobodies’. How did He start with them? He made them realize that there are better ways of doing things, n there are better ways viewing things.
Now,what stops us from doing the same? Yewande Bernard an image consultant made me understand that at some point she discovered there are somethings people were not just getting right and these people r beginning to make it a norm, a lifestyle which is definitely not the GODlifestyle. So she CHOSE to express reality, to eradicate that DARKNESS that people were beginning to take as LIGHT. She went into image consulting…rebranding humans to suite the G-lifestyle, n today she’s fufilling purpose. SHE simply found a PROBlEM n then chose to make a CHANGE.
The thing with most of us is that we’ve identified these problems, we’ve found them but we are either scared of or resistant to change!…..
To be continued….

Gone are the days when how much you are covered up depicted how fashionable you were, fashion then, was about what you were wearing, now, fashion is about what you are NOT wearing. 

So, my lens today will be on the thongs, bum shorts, and on all skirts worn above the thighs. Now, I’ve got your attention.

First, I’d like to acknowledge the 21st century music video producers for helping us with free porn. I mean, we don’t have to be ashamed about it because the highly stringent music regulators keep giving you awards for your ludicrous achievements in making guys horny and for dulling the minds of young girls. They are more concerned about their music sales than the effect these pictures have on the mind of young ones, even adults. Now, I think, the age restriction thing is a bit overrated, I think the restriction should now be on MENTAL HEALTH basis. Seriously, the occurence of rape has more than tripled over the past couple of years and it’s what people’s minds are being exposed to.

The main fact is, Porn sells, get a good sound, with some vulgar content and put some almost naked girls in it and soon you’ll be signing recording deals and invited to shows. It is an irony that although Nigerians are seemingly very religious, porn videos sit comfortably with their holy books in their bags. The fear is that many of the consumers of the pornographic materials are not aware of the inherent danger.

Olamide’s ‘Eni duro’ had us infected with love at first sight, but three more hit songs down the road, left me wondering what his intentions really were. His “Badoo” image brings out the “porn” in him in “Durosoke” and his fans go wild after each video. Don’t even get me started on Tonto Dikeh’s “Get high” music video, it felt like a video on mermaid pornography.

What we lack in the music industry is that of a model for the teen pop audience, for instance, Chidinma’s “Kedike”, depicts the typical ‘I have a crush on you syndrome’ among teens. The music industry in Nigeria is going on the pornographic music train and leaving teen pop culture to die slowly. Nothing is appealing and safe to watch anymore. This situation calls for an intervention and my suggestion will be ‘All or nothing’, yes, give us all or nothing at all, as the only way to create an antivirus is to introduce a virus, it’s either we let our minds feast on the obscene images until it becomes normal to us or it’s completely banned from the mind’s inner recesses.

All the same, I’ll leave you with this thought, ‘your life is a perfect picture of what your thoughts have been’, so think right and live right.

the PROVERBS 31 CHiC by Chinedum

Posted: September 27, 2013 in Uncategorized

Hi guyz! This goes to everyone male or female…chic or guy…it was written by a friend and I enjoyed it…so I decided to share it with you…. Have fun

http://chineduwrites.wordpress.com/wp-comments-post.php

Who can find a Proverbs 31 chic for her price is far more than rubies and material things, different from the other girls that call themselves bitches,she knows the word and practice what it teaches. When other girls are busy cat walking she is taking steps in the right direction ordered by the lord
Early in the morning when she wakes she goes on her knees quietly talking to her father in sincerity and on the road when she walks she knows how to rock her heels nicely .The words that describe her are beautiful,graceful,charming,angelic,pretty and elegant and sexy is not one of them.
She lives by the truth in the word of God and doesn’t fall for the lies of the media and playboys because she is not a toy she knows she is the daughter of the most high .
She strives to be like the ladies in the bible and not the ones she sees in the music videos and on the cover of playboy magazine, she carries herself with dignity, panache,self respect and dresses modestly like a princess because her father is the King of kings
She is filled with the joy of the lord that explains the charming smile always on her face, she loves to go out on evangelism and preach because she knows there are souls she has to reach .Her heart is not made of glass its unbreakable because she has hidden it in God her father so any guy that wants to get her has to get to God to find her.
She is wonderfully and fearfully made sculpted by the creator of heaven and from the rib of her Adam .To her, true beauty is spiritual that’s why she doesn’t put her trust in makeup she knows the stuff she is made of….

Yaay! I definitely know the stuff made of… And am proud to be a CHIC!

What does that statement mean?

A person who says, “I love you, but I’m not IN LOVE with you,” is making a distinction between 2 different feelings. But NEITHER of those feelings are love!

When a person says, “I love you, but I’m not IN LOVE with you,” they’re saying that I CARE about you but I’m not EXCITED about you.

CARING about someone is a good thing. It’s reflective of CONCERN. But it’s different than love. I care about the starving children in Africa, but I don’t love them.

Being EXCITED about someone is also a good thing. But it’s different than love. I might be excited to have a relationship with the President of the United States or a Hollywood star, but that doesn’t mean I love them.

While someone who says, “I love you, but I’m not IN LOVE with you” seems to be making a distinction between “different loves;” in fact, they are expressing their confusion about what love really is. And that’s why they’re having marital problems and maybe even an affair (because who are they IN LOVE with?).

Love is something we articulate in the vocabulary of ACTION. Love is a verb. It’s not a feeling you get from another PERSON; it’s an experience you receive as a result of DEEDS YOU DO for another person.

And those deeds are not a secret. In other words, love is NOT a mystery! There are specific things you can do with your spouse to solve your problems and build love in your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It’s a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable…you can “make” love.
someone will say to me, “I love my spouse, but I’m not IN LOVE with my spouse.”

My immediate response is to ask, “Can you list for me 5 ways in the last week that you’ve DEMONSTRATED your love for your spouse?”
Then I’ll hear grunts, partial statements, and gasps for breath, but none of what I hear ever passes for an answer to my question.

“I love you, but I’m not IN LOVE with you” is a cop out. It basically means that I have no clue how to make a relationship last LONG-TERM so I’m exiting to get high from another short-term romance. But whoever they’re IN LOVE with now will also eventually hear, “I love you, but I’m not IN LOVE with you.”

JUST KEEP BREATHING

Posted: September 21, 2013 in Uncategorized

This goes to everyone anywhere that has gone through or is going through series of hardship,disappointment,hatred and rejection. Just keep breathing….hang on

No matter what the road has been like
No matter what the journey has been like
There is a great man that keeps saying
“Come to me,when you are weary
I’ll give you hope, when you are hurting
I’ll give you rest from your burden”
How much have you gone through?
All your trust deceived you
All your love hated you
All your hope gave up on you
And your conclusion is to let go
Let me remind you
This great man went through even worse for you
&because of you HE chose not to let go
If only you can hang on & keep breathing
Stop feeling forsaken
Stop feeling forgotten
HE said “…a mother might forget her sucking child, but I will never forget thee…”
Finding it hard to keep THE RULES OF LIFE
He has made it easy by laying down HIS LIFE
The one thing you have to do
Is hang on to that Life He has given you
& keep breathing!!!
Those who loved you hate you
Probably because the reason they loved you has expired
But HE loves you unconditionally no matter what transpires
Those you trusted deceived you
Probably because they don’t even trust theirself…
Those who gave up on you, at one point in their life also gave up on theirself
But there is one person you can always trust
One person that will never give up on you
One person that has promised to be loving & faithful
Even when you don’t give Him enough reason to be
If you need a shelter,HE is a strong tower
If you don’t know where to start from, He is the author and the finisher, the Alpha & omega
If you’ve got battles, HE is the mighty warrior
If the doctors have said NO, He is the Healer
If your father is no more, HE is an everlasting father
If you are in any kinda bondage, He is the Deliverer
If your life has been more or less *war-like*…He is the Prince of Peace
Having a boring and dry kinda life, he is the livingwater
What more can you ask for….. HE IS CHRIST JESUS!!!

If September means “seven” why is it the ninth month? Also, why is it ???lucky seven????

We take the predictability of the calendar for granted. But we may have felt differently if we were living under the rule of Julius Caesar.

September was the seventh month of the old Roman calendar. In this calendar, the year began in March. But the Julian calendar??reform shifted the start of new year back two months to where it is now: January 1.

This change made September in the new calendar the ninth month and one of only four Gregorian months with 30 days.

The name of the month is derived from septem, which is Latin for seven. It has long been regarded as a number of perfection, luck, and wonder. (Think: seven days of creation.)

We commonly refer to being in a state of everyday bliss as being in seventh heaven. The expression has been used figuratively since the early 1800s. It refers to ???the dwelling place of God in the highest of the seven concentric spheres that surround the earth.??? Both Muslims and??Cabbalistic Jews believed in this system.

The number seven shows up repeatedly in other topics relating to the heavens. The Seven Sisters are the number of Atlas??? daughters in the Pleiades. Also, there are only seven stellar objects in the solar system that are visible from Earth with the naked eye.

Only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world is still in existence. Do you know what it is?

BE GLAD YOUR NOSE IS ON YOUR FACE

Be Glad Your Nose Is on Your Face
BY JACK PRELUTSKY

Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.

Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you’d be forced to smell your feet.

Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.

Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.

Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
not pasted on some other place—
be glad your nose is on your face!
