LIFE

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be – a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger – but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say.

Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make anything you wish of your life. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

And if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.

Learn a lesson in life each day that you live!

Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.

Think About it? Was it worth it?

THERE IS A BLESSING IN YOUR BETHLEHEM

"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the King,behold,there came Wise Men from the East to Jerusalem. And thou Bethlehem,in the land Judah,art not thou the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor,that shall rule my people Israel".(Matthew 2 vs 1,2,6).

It is remarkably noteworthy that instead of being born in Jerusalem as the wise men earlier thought,Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judah. They expected Jesus in the City of Kings,but He arrived at the little town of Bethlehem.

Bethlehem was one of the least cities in Israel. It was the least qualified place to produce a King. It didn't meet the expectations of men with respect to where a King should be born. Jesus came at an unexpected place: the little neglected and ignored town called Bethlehem.

Friend,are there places you have written off? Are there people you have looked at and imagine that nothing positive will ever come out of them? Are there ideas you once nursed in your mind,but somehow you feel they won't take you anywhere? Are there opportunities you see,and deep within you,they look every bit like Bethlehem with no seeming prospect?

Today,glean yet another lesson: There just might be Kings in your "Bethlehem". There is greatness waiting for you at places you least imagined. There are opportunities for advancement waiting in insignificant ideas you may have trivialised. You may have been branded the least among your contemporaries,but God says you are about to shock your generation with outstanding results.

Isn't it time you paid attention to your "Bethlehem". Pay attention to the little things God is bringing your way,they just might be what you need for the NEXT LEVEL
Beloved, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. This place was described as small among the clans of Judah. In other words, the location of Jesus birth was not a prestigious location. He came to a place we may say had no significant advantage for moving up in life. Bethlehem would in Nigerian parlance, be a minority or marginalized location.

One writer commented on this: 'Of all the places Jesus could have been born, why Bethlehem? And mind you, it wasn't a random happenstance that He was born there — it was foretold(Micah 5:2) . He was ordained by God to be born there, and the prophets of old declared it. Bethlehem was the chosen city of His birth. But why?

Maybe we might suppose that Bethlehem was chosen specifically because it was so small and insignificant. After all, God seems to take special delight in exalting the lowly and humbling the proud. He forever is taking the things that are foolish, and confounding the wise; the things that are nothing, to bring to nothing the things that are thought to be something.”

Beloved, Bethlehem was no mistake. It was part of God's plan. It was part of His design. You are also not where you are by mistake. Your birth, residence, and opportunities are not a mistake. Even your perceived disadvantages are not a mistakes.

The things which seem to be insignificant and small in your life are a part of God’s work. Again today, do not take for granted your humble beginnings or lowly status. He uses the inconspicuous things to shock the world. Don’t give up on life. Your current shameful condition will yet be turned to nothing when He makes His move in your life. Just think of the uncelebrated baby of small Bethlehem now the acclaimed eternal King! Your background is not enough reason for your back to be on the ground!


Expect your celebration! THERE IS A BLESSING IN YOUR BETHLEHEM!

THE LESSON FROM THE PENCIL

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.
“There are 5 things you need to know,” he told the pencil,
“Before I send you out into the world. Always remember
them and never forget, and you will become the best
pencil you can be...”
One:- “You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.”

Two:- “You will experience a painful sharpening from time
to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.”

Three:- “You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.”

Four:- “The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.”

And Five:- “On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter
what the condition, you must continue to write.”

Friends, replacing the place of the pencil with You... Always
remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One:- “You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand. And allow other
human beings to access you for the many gifts you
possess.

Two:- “You will experience a painful sharpening from time
to time, by going through various problems in life, but
you’ll need it to become a stronger person.”

Three:- “You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.”

Four:- “The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside.”

And Five:- “On every surface you walk through, you must
leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must
continue to do your duties.”

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill
the purpose to which you were born to accomplish

I TOOK OFF MY UNDERWEAR

I used to be that innocent girl who hadthe world at
her feet. I was beautiful and I had eyes and hips
that could make men sway, and to top it all up, I
was a Christian, a very good Christian with a heart
burning for God.
When I entered the university, I met a guy, his
name was Derrick.
I couldn抰 believe my luck the first time I bumped
into him on my way to class, he had such a kind
smile and a tender look that weakened my knees
when he spoke.
Because I was late for class we couldn抰talk much
but barely three weeks later, I met him at the
fresher抯 night party and I was overwhelmed. We
got talking and I found out that he was in his
second year and from that night, we became an
inseparable pair.
At first, we were friends and as months passed by,
we got closer and closer and the chemistry
between us was undeniable.
About a year after I entered the university, Derrick
and I started dating. He was everything a girlcould
ever want and desire save the fact that he wasn抰
so much of a Christian. Derrick had magical hands
that made him hard to resist and most times I fell
for it.
At first, I felt bad but when I couldn抰 help falling
into the same pit I killed theguilt on my inside. And
then one day, one of my friends said I was getting
fatter and that got me thinking and in the process I
began to link the dots協irst I
had a vomiting spree every morning which I
thought was due to a flu and then I had this
morning sickness which I felt was due to stress and
thenmy missing period卭h no it can抰 be possible I
said to myself, I couldn抰 be pregnant!!
After a series of test outside school, I realized the
dead t truth, I was indeed pregnant. I was only
nineteen, Istill had a
whole life ahead of me, what was I going to do. I
couldn抰 tell my parents, they wouldn抰 hear of it. I
had to go to Derrick to tell him what I had found
out. On telling him, I saw him fly into a temper I
had never seen in my life. He was so hysterical,
calling me all sorts ofnames and I didn抰 even know
when I started crying heart drenching tears of hurt
and betrayal.
When he looked into my eyes he must have
realized how scared and hurt I was and so he
pulled me close and ran his hands through my hair
until I had calmed down and then he said to me in
the most subtle voice ever 攚hy don抰 you have an
ab-rtion�. I pulled back instantly, I couldn抰 have
an abrtion! But when he talked about my parents
and the sanctioning of the school and the
fellowship which I belonged to, I knew I had no
other choice.
Derrick had made all the arrangements and so on
the supposed day we went to the room- like clinic. I
shivered all through my way there but Derrick
kepttelling me that it would be okay and that he
was proud that I made such a brave decision.
When I entered into the room where the ab-*tion
was supposed to take place I laid down on the table
trying to dissociate my mind from what I was about
to do and then a young man toldme sternly, � you
know I can抰 perform this procedure with your
underwear on� and then I began to pull it off. As I
did this a sense of guilt overwhelmed me, first I had
pulled off my underw**ar of pleasure and now I was
pulling it off to get rid of the stigma the pleasure
had brought厀hat ashame, I felt so exposed.
All through the times that I felt instruments coming
in and out of me, Ikept thinking of the lady I had
become and the hypocrite I had transformed into. I
let out a sigh, only if I can get through this I
muttered� only if卆nd then I felt a sharp pain pierce
through the whole of my body, I screamed but
then the doctor told me to be quiet.
I felt another pain but this time I bit mylip and then
the pain began to come in successions. I
instinctively knew that something was wrong but I
was too weak to talk or to move and then I heard
the voices of Derrick and the doctor talking about
the fact that I wasbleeding excessively.
The pain was so unbearable and I could feel myself
getting weaker and weaker. With the last strength
in me, I pleaded with God 擮h Lord I抦 so sorry for
taking my under wears off, please forgive me.�
and I drifted into a world where the pain seemed
less hurtful and the voices seemed more distant.
Friends, our bodies are the temple of the Lord� Do
not take off your underwear when the time is not
right. Lots of girls
who gained admission into the university as virgins
eventually lost it socheaply to guys who have
nothing to do with their destinies. In a bid to get a
certificate, they sold out a destiny that certificate
cannot guarantee. Don't awaken love until it is time!

GIRLS ARE LIKE APPLES

Girls are like apples on
trees. The best ones are
at the top of the tree. The
boys don’t want to
reach for the good ones
because they are afraid
of falling and getting
hurt. Instead, they just
get the rotten apples from
the ground that
aren’t as good, but easy. So
the apples at the top
think something is wrong
with them, when in
reality, they’re amazing.
They just have to wait
for the right boy to come
along, the one who’s
brave enough to climb all
the way to the top of
the tree..
It means that u must toil to
get the right woman.
good things are hard to
find. So fight for the one
you love not the one that
loves you.
A man is meant to love a
woman, and If a woman
loves a man. And the man
she loves didnt have any
feelings for her. It will
lead to heart break.
Men please if you truly
love someone go for her.
Dont you know that a
woman is a gift to all
mankind.
They were born from our
ribs for us to protect them
not to break their heart.
All women are the same.
God created them equal.
If you have a good partner
and you love her so much
that you cant live without
her.
Dont u ever think of
having sex with her.
Sex is not for youths
God created sex for
marriage couples only.
bad friends will advice
you to have sex with her.
Say no to them.
God told us in
1 Corinthians 6:13
that
“Food is meant for the
stomach and the stomach
for
food”—and God will
destroy both one and the
other. The body is not
meant
for sexual immorality, but
for the Lord, and the Lord
for the body.
Stop having sex in your
relationship.
Close friends will also
help u to register 2go and
facebook. That beautiful
girls are there.
What are the gains. Beauty
is in the heart not in the
face.
If you truly need God in
your life.
Run away from things
like
sexual
immorality, impurity,
sensuality, idolatry,
sorcery, enmity, strife,
jealousy, fits of anger,
rivalries, dissensions,
divisions, envy,
drunkenness, orgies, he
told us that those who do
such things will not
inherit the kingdom of
God.
Talk to God.
He will give you the
power to overcome bad
addiction.
I know that is not that
easy, but with God ALL things are possible!

HOW TO DEAL WITH HEART BREAK

It is mostly true that time can heal a broken heart. Permit me to say, Heart break is different from 'hand break'. Hand break is physical, while heart break is emotional. And most of the time emotional pains are sometimes the most difficult pains to deal with.However, how we act while heartbroken can affect the amount of pain we feel. The following tips will work towards minimizing the pain and speed the healing process.
1
Get rid of such objects that remind you of the person who broke your heart. Return, sell, or throw them away. Get rid of photos, letters, emails, and other such items.




2
Avoid that person if possible. Try to minimize meetings with your former love.


3
Recognize the reasons why you feel bad, think of ways in which some of these reasons can be eliminated or avoided.


4
Remember why the romance ended. The relationship ended because you deserve better.


5
Remember there will be better days ahead.


6
Spend more time with your friends and family.


7
If you do not workout or exercise, start doing that, as it helps reduce stress and depression. Exercise will help improve your body and self image.


8
Take a bath or shower when feeling very unhappy.


9
Start a new hobby or pastime. The pleasure of accomplishing something will counter act to the feelings of sadness.


10
Keep busy... Do something. Don't be idle, that might give a very conduesive environment for unneccessary worries and thinking.


11
Find activities to do that make you happy. Stay away from sad movies and the like.


12
Listen to music that gets adrenaline rushing, do not listen to slow, sad or romantic songs.


13
Meet new people, you might find someone who will heal your heart.
Finally please take note of this:You cannot revive something that God says is not going to work! Don't be afraid to let go - there is better ahead of you!
God is up to something. Rise up! Move on! God bless you..
