HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

You see this popular statement up there? Many of us use it when we are meeting people for the first time, especially, strangers. It is good and there is nothing bad in it. But, I have met people who used this statement 'proud-fully" & arrogantly.

Many of us think, everyone that comes to us and meeting us on our C.E.O's chairs, or in our offices need our help and they can't help us.

Let me tell you a story. A lady (my neighbor) came to my house one day and when she came in, I said to her ' How may you help me?' She laughed and said 'Man of God, it is you that can help me oo. I am having exam in school tomorrow and I don't have money to register the course, Sir please help me with any amount". I gave her what I could afford. She knelt down and was just appreciating me. I said, thanks to God.

She stood up to go, and her phone rang, I heard a song and I love that song so much. I asked her if she can send it to me. Sharp sharp, she did. As she was doing it , I saw so many messages of great men of God on her phone and powerful Christian videos, Bible versions and so many articles. I was like whaoooo. Can you share this things with me? She asked if I have space to take them. Sharp Sharp, I opened my xender and everything was sent to me. What that lady gave me that day should worth 15,000 Naira if I had wanted to buy them one by one. I looked at her when she finished and I said, when you came in, I asked you ' How may you help me? You said there is no help you can do for me and it is I that can help you. See how you have helped me greatly now with all you gave to me. She laughed and left.

I went to a school, and the school Secretary said to me harshly and 'proudfully' 'Mr man, how may I help you" . I laughed inside and I became serious and I told her my mission on free tutorial. She later saw our proposal and some of the schools we have been to. She became my friend. Took me to the Principal and said, "Sir, this man is here sir to help our school. I smiled. After my talk with the Principal. I was about going out of the school. The security man asked me to sign out. I told him, I did not sign in. He said he forgot to ask me to sign in.

I collected their visitors' book, and I filled the columns available there. But I noticed there is no column for visitor's name. They only wrote " Whom to see " "Time in" " Purpose of Visit" "Time Out" . I said where will I write my name? They said , Haaaa, we don't have that column for name. I said, you should have it and gave them like 3 reasons why they should have it. The school Secretary said, 'Oh. you have helped us again. We will correct this"

Imagine Abraham telling the 3 angels that came to help him overcome barrenness "How may I help you?" Imagine him asking them arrogantly.

I know many of us might mean well when we say "How may I help you" but please, say it with humility of heart. The person you think you want to help might also have your help with him/her. We all need help! Remember, it was an house girl that helped Naaman out of his leprosy, despite the fact that, he was a great general. 2 Kings 5:1-7.

As much as you have help to give to people, know also that, you too need help and anyone can help you. Don't speak arrogantly. Don't be proud in your heart and act when addressing people.

THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN

When a woman marries a man because of money and physical beauty and a man marries a woman because of beauty, forgotten that Is better with Idea woman and man and have peace at home . Although handsome men and beautiful ladies is very good, but let it not be because of the outside beauty alone but inside beauty as well because that is what made you who u really are, because someone like me I always cherish beautiful children with good character, God made men and women physically beautiful so that men will appreciate his hand work and give glory to him, the beauty God gave us is not what makes us wrong man and woman, it is our decisions, our attitudes, our lifestyles, our believes, if a man decide to follow the ways of God and fear him God will beautify him and distinguish him from others and if a woman decided to use her beauty, her body to serve God, God will make her a virtuous woman blessed among others, the problems many women have is that they don't know the blessedness of b...

YOUR WIFE IS YOUR LIFE PARTNER NOT LIFE SERVANT

I cringed today when a man said if his wife does something he ‘commands’ her not to do, he'd send her out of his house back to her parents; that it's very wrong for a woman to disobey her husband no matter what. Well, I couldn't hold my chill, I opposed him passionately and he resorted to calling me a kid; “You won't understand till you get married.” That's always how they sound. Very manipulative old folks. Please single guys, when you wanna get married, just remind yourself that the woman you're getting married to will be your life partner, not your servant. You ain't doing her a favor by getting married to her, so don't ever feel that sending her back to her parents means she'll die or lose her womanhood. Your wife is not your errand girl, she's like a colleague and she's important like you in that marriage, so you don't command her to do things, you don't just give orders, No! Both of you are to reach a stand...

THE HARD TO GET MANTRA

Most of you are still single because you want to be chased so bad. Both guys and girls, this one is not gender war issue. You clearly have people that are good to you in your circle but because you want them to beg at your feet, you will prefer to carry single placard daily. You believe being chased is what makes you special. No, it isn't. What makes you special is when you are the right thing the other person is looking for. I mean the exact thing. You don't have to be chased. You can be chased and if you aren't the one for them, they will still dump you.

MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MARRIAGE

Uncle Etuk grinned when he saw his daughter, Idara and the husband Ime walked into the house. The old man, was on one of his rare visits to his daughter and in-law. He had to succumb after several pleas from his in-law to move from the confines of Mkpat Enin to Uyo to spend the Easter Holidays. This his in-law believed he needed to comfort the old man from loneliness after his wife’s demise three months ago. After dinner that evening, he whispered to his son in law that if they don’t mind, he would love to have a quick word with the couple after the children have gone to bed. By 9pm, the couple was back to the dinner table to hear what the old man had to say. He started by asking them a simple question “What is the most important thing in your life Idara? She replied, “Daddy, it is the kids, they mean everything to me”. He then turned and asked Ime, the son in law the same question, he also beaming with pride said: "it is the kids of course; they are the reason why ...

DON'T LOOSE YOUR INDEPENDENCE FOR A RELATIONSHIP

I know you are so glued and bonded in love with that person. You can't go a day without fantasying about them, you feel butterflies in your stomach, cool. It's a good thing to be in love, BUT.. No matter how love stricken you are, don't ever give a person an impression that you can't live without them. Don't ever make them feel you are miserable and hopeless without them. Don't make them think if they leave you, you'll never be happy again. No matter the love, don't lose your independence in a relationship. Because, that is the beginning of manipulation. When you give people the idea that you are miserable without them, automatically they consider you inferior and you become less attractive to them. They'll so exploit your vulnerability. That's why a lot of you are so madly in love with someone, but you hate the fact that you love them. You feel that you are so used. Yes!!! It's because you gave them a clue that life without ...
