MY DAD COULDN'T READ BIBLE AGAIN

3 years before my father died, I visited to greet him & we were gisting. I knew it has been long he read his Bible last because of old age and the dimness of his eyes.

I carried his big Bible for him and gave him his glasses. He tried reading it, but he could not see the wordings well. He tried pronouncing those words, but it wasn't coherent as he could not see it well.

Humm. This is a man that read Bible like anything. He taught me the value of the word of God. He told me he read the Bible through Genesis to Revelation 2 times. With that challenge, I have read the Bible through 2 times too and still on the third time. My dad did quotes scriptures off hands. I learnt that value from him too. I memories scriptures and can quote it by God's grace. It is this same man then that old age did not permit him to read the Bible again.

He told me jokingly that, the ones he has read right from his youth age are still in him and they will sustain him now till he would breath his last.

Now, this are the lessons I got from that discussion:-

Friends, you will not always be able to do what you are doing now.

A time will come, you won't be able to hustle again. Hustle now that you still have strength!

A time will come when you might not be able to fast again as a result of old age. Fast now!

A time will come when you will not be able to read the Bible again as a result of old age, read the Bible now that your eyes are still sharp!

Dear couples, a time will come, sex might become less appealing to you and you might not have strength to have sex. Please, have sex now. Improve your sex life. Enjoy sex with your spouse.

A time will come when you might be too old to do much fashion and wear good cloths as a result of old age, please, be fashionable now! Enjoy good clothes now that you still have body to carry it.

A time will come when you might not be able to further your education. Please do so now!

Preacher, a time will come, when you might not be able to preach here and there. You might not be able to attend ministers' conference, seminars and personal retreat as a result of old age, please attend now! Preach the Gospel now! Do your best in the ministry for now!

Friend, a time will come, you might not be able to take care of your parents as they will die one day, why don't you do it now!!!

We all shall not be forever young, forever agile and strong. With old age comes so many limitations and incapacitation. Now that you are still young, do your best! Invest, learn, pray, fast, touch lives, travel wide, evangelize, make friends, enjoy life , be spiritually fit, be beautiful, be handsome and awesome, make money, manage money, multiply money, laugh when you Still have teeth, eat well, live well, do well, dress well, have sex very well (with your spouse) , spend well, exercise well, pray well, etc, so that when your old age comes, and you can no longer do all these, effectively; like my daddy said, the ones you have done in your days of strength and agility will carry you till you breath your last!!!

Remember, " For the night cometh when no man can work" (John 9: 4b)

DISAPPEARANCE

Its disappeared, yes its went with the owl. its wasn't empty, but in form of it, it came nothing. odd I couldn't breathe but just keep an open eye with an idea of something different even though disappearance was the perfect conversation to be certain at this moment, I took myself away of that aura of unnecessary emotion and laid myself out with beautiful forwarding steps.

SHE WOULD LIKELY CHEAT IF SHE LOVES THESE THREE THINGS

Although it is said that men cheat more than women, today the ratio is almost level. Just like men have different justifications for cheating, women too cheat for different reasons. Here are 3 types of women who are likely to cheat:- 1. The money lover: The money or gift lover is the number one on the list because most women cheat because of this 'weakness' in them. We all love money and would wish to have lots of it but for such women, they are capable of getting into other relationships just because of finances. This is the type that sleeps with any man as long as there is monetary payback. 2. The 'party animal': No party passes without her having to attend. I don't mean every woman who goes to a party is a cheat but the 'party animal' is highly likely to cheat. No weekend finds her in the house, instead, she will be out drinking and dancing with other men till morning. The drinks she takes could be sponsored by abled men who would the...

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to; 2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes. 3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. 4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem; 5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public; 6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time; 7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you....

BEST WAYS TO APOLOGIZE TO YOUR PARTNER IN A RELATIONSHIP

Apologies are a funny thing. Everyone likes to get them. When you need to give them, things get tricky. As soon as your ego gets involved, you’re in trouble. And let’s be honest, it always gets involved. Apologizing means admitting you’re wrong, and no one likes to be wrong. Apologies also force you to be vulnerable with your loved ones, and vulnerability is scary. It means you’re emotionally undressing yourself. You’re opening yourself up to danger (or so we think). So when it comes to saying “sorry,” you may offer up the white flag in the most non-committal, inauthentic way possible. If you’ve ever said, “I’m sorry, okay?” you know what I’m talking about. Then there are the “I’m sorry you feel that way” non-apologies. It’s tough to say which is worse. Apologies aren’t easy to give but they are one of the most powerful tools for communication at your disposal in any relationship. Apologies allow both parties to feel heard and expressed. They also open up a dialogue for yo...
