DON'T CHASE WHAT YOU CAN'T KEEP

Yes, it's very true one never gets another chance to make a first impression but people forget that first impression is not the last chance to make a good impression.

This is the story of a classmate in Secondary School who set his eyes on a pretty lady and wanted to win her love at all cost. From the look of things, this lady was from the city and a well to do family, whilst this mate was from the village and a poor farmer’s only hope. My mate was advised that in order to get the lady’s affection and attention, he must take her out to an expensive restaurant and also get her some few gifts. I advised him to let go or just be a friend and allow the lady to like him for who he was, but this fell on deaf ears.

Before I knew it, my friend had spent half of his academic fees on the lady in question. Portraying to the lady he was also from well to do family. Well he did win her love but maintaining the relationship on an empty pocket became a nightmare for him. He couldn't meet the lady's demands, and he was dismissed from school for non-payment of bills. Eventually the lady and everyone in school got to know the truth.

Although the lady liked him; the lies and pretense turned the like into hatred. While living here on earth, it is very important you spend your life with the people who make you happy, not with those you have to impress. This is one lesson which has changed my friend, a lesson which changed his destiny. He has become a successful farmer and entrepreneur now. Sometimes, the strongest and most bitter drug needed to change us for the better is another human being. And when things go bad, you don't need to use that as an excuse, rather make improvements.

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. Don't forget, to accomplish anything in life you need peace of mind. If the mistake you made has turned you into the talk of town, it’s necessary you lose your connection with people, places or things that created all the noise surrounding you. Go on and don’t be ashamed of your story, it will inspire others one day if you don't quit. Always remember there is no reset button in life. You can't take anything back, and you can't undo anything.

All of your actions have consequences, and the things you say and do today will have a lasting impact on the rest of your life. You have to understand that and be careful in your decision making.

In conclusion "But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams" - 1 Samuel 15:22 (NLT).

MARITAL EXPECTANCY OF MEN

One of the most significant sources of stress in marriage is tied to expectations. When expectations are unclear, unhealthy, unspoken or unmet , one or both spouses can start to feel neglected, inadequate and/or frustrated with the marriage. I’m convinced many (if not most) divorces come back to expectations. When a man and woman first start out together in marriage, both of them are carrying unspoken expectations. They each have a vision of what the home life will be. They have separate ideas of what their sex life will be. They have different dreams for what their future family will be. They also have different expectations for what the each of their responsibilities should be. These different expectations are rarely communicated out loud because most newlyweds naively believe that they are so in sync with their spouse that the unspoken expectations are exactly the same. This is never the case. Two different individuals with two different personalities coming from two diff...

MARRY A BEST FRIEND

Friends play a vital role in our lives. The presence of friends in our lives is supposed to be a blessing. There is no security like having a friend who watches your back, guides you, assists you and listens to you. After creating man, God realized there was one thing missing, which was a lifetime friend for the man. That is why He instituted marriage; a lifetime friendship between a man and his wife. In this life, if any one will doubt us, not our friends. If anyone will give up on us, not our friends yet people we call friends, people we take bullets for, are the ones behind the trigger sometimes. Enemies who want to hurt you these days come into your life as your friend, just to have access to you. Satan has succeeded in creating counterfeits, including friends. If this is not the case, how can a husband of ten years of marriage tell his wife, “I no longer feel love for you so I want a divorce”, how can a wife married to wealthy man, leave him because he is now broke. People t...

WHAT IS THE BEST GIFT OF ALL?

“Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, coming down from the father of the celestial lights.” Yes of the many gifts that god has given mankind; there is one that is greater than all the res. What is it? Jesus’ well-known words, recorded at John 3:16 tells us: “God loved the world that he gave his only-begotten son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” The gift of God’s only-begotten son that would certainly be the greatest gift that any one of us could ever receive, for thereby we can freed from the bondage to sin, old age, and death. Try as we may, on our own there is nothing we can do to be released from that bondage. However, in his great love, God provided what is needed to bring about that release. By giving his only-begotten son, Jesus Christ, as the ransom, Jehovah God gave obedient mankind the prospect of life everlasting. But what exactly is the ...
