MY VICTORY IS IN CHRIST JESUS. HALLELUJAH

A violinist played for 45 minutes in a New York subway. A handful of people stopped, a couple clapped, and the violinist managed to raise about $30 in tips.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats averaged about $100.

The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued.

There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren’t receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow.

Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it if it’s telling you that where you are isn’t enough!

Go where you are appreciated and valued.
Know👏 Your👏 Worth👏

Every king was once a crying baby and every building was once a picture.
The person you admire so much was once a nobody.
The most anointed man you see was once a church member.
The person you attended his or her wedding was once a chief bachelor or spinster. So why worry in life?

It's not about where you are today but where you will reach tomorrow.
Alphabet "O'' which stands for Opportunity, is absent in ''yesterday'' but available once in ''tOday'' And thrice in ''tOmOrrOw'' So Stay Positive Always and have hope.
Your tomorrow will surely be better than today. Believe in yourself and never give up. ......The future is bright!

Have a wonderful week.

I have seen pastor's children who put out half-naked pictures online and do not show any concern for the Christian faith.

I have seen Christian parents raise ungodly children who become cultists and even prostitutes, they go to college and live a different life entirely.

I have seen elders in church raise children who do not even attend church services. They do not even care about how their parents feel.

I can't say they didn't try, maybe they did but it takes extra to be a parent. The devil is ready to take any little chance if we don't prayerfully and intentionally raise the kids God give to us.

There's work to do! We must not choose ministry or money over proper parenting. We are just giving the chance to the devil.

Good parenting is possible with God but you must put efforts. You must give all to spend time with them, you don't just leave them to anyone.

I celebrate the children of the Bamiloye's. They are all fruits of good parenting. If they didn't raise them well, they would have decided to go their own way. There's nothing as beautiful as raising children that will be passionate for God.

Plus, this doesn't just happening by talking, it is a battle we must start fighting now even as singles, we must war in prayer, we must fight on our knees!

My children will serve Jesus!
My children will be great!
My children will be men and women of impact!

We are not negotiating with the devil, it will happen. The gates of hell shall not prevail🔥

SINGLE BUT NOT STUPID

HOW TO MARRY THE WRONG PERSON

How many couples are truly really happy in their marriages? If they want to be sincere with you, many of them are just tagging along. If they had a choice today would they still marry that man, that woman?

Consider the Saturday event in 2013 that went literally viral on the internet, especially among bloggers. Solomon Akiyesi, popular Nollywood actor, tried to play a fast one on his wife. He left his pregnant wife in Portharcourt under the guise that he was going to shoot a movie in Lagos only for it to be discovered that he was going to wed his pregnant mistress somewhere at a church in Lagos. News had got to his wife who travelled all the way from portharcourt and stormed the church, disrupting the wedding.

When asked why he did what he did, Solomon Akiyesi simply said, "My marriage wasn't just it" He had dated that lady for 7 years before marrying her for another 6 years. Making it a total of 13 years. Yet what did he say? "My marriage wasn't just it"

How many couples are in such mess today? Plenty of them. They marry for stupid reasons and after struggling for many years...either scream their issues , walk away or do something as desperate as Solomon Akiyesi.

You don't have to marry and be frustrated.You deserve to be happy. Let me share with you some ideas that would help you not marry the wrong person.I will show you this by reverse logic

How To Marry The Wrong Person

1. MARRY A PERSON BECAUSE AGE IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE: Research has it that people who marry early have a higher chance of breaking up or staying frustrated in marriage.The reason is because are usually too young to know what they really want. Mature people who marry in their late 20s and early 30s tend to know what they want, having experienced life, and can make informed choices that make and keep them happy for longer periods. Never hurry into marriage because you think you are old. Remember that your age gives you the advantage of experience. Take your time and make your decision.

2.MARRY A GOOD PERSON INSTEAD OF A GODLY PERSON: There is a difference.A good person goes to church, a godly person is church! A good person is nice and not a believer of Christ, a godly person is of the faith. Marry a christian, someone who believes in Jesus.Never compromise that.

3. MARRY A PERSON WHO TAKES ACOHOLIC DRINKS: Yes, you heard me very right. A person who drinks is a potential cheater(Most people who drink cheat on their spouse). The person is a waster( Since drinking is addictive the person will waste money and resources). The person is a potential fighter.In the case of the man, chances are that he would beat his wife. For the woman, she will verbally abuse her husband and fight him.

4.MARRY A PERSON WHO IS NOT GOING YOUR WAY: Love doesn't keep a marriage. Yes it can start the process of marriage....but it is similar values that keeps a marriage together.

5.MARRY A PERSON BECAUSE HE HAS POTENTIAL OR RESOURCES: Don't get it twisted. The so called potential spoken of by that man who wants to marry you is still that...words. The most important thing is not that the man has potential but THE CONVICTION IN YOU THAT GIVES YOU PEACE TO MARRY HIM WITH OR WITHOUT ANYTHING. Also, the fact that the fellow is rich today is not proof that he would remain rich....It boils down to convictions.

6 MARRY A PERSON YOU HAVE HAD PREMARITAL S*X WITH: 90 percent of the weddings aren't really holy matrimony as they put on their wedding cards. God in His wisdom says to leave the bed undefiled. You in your so called wisdom say , 'how can marry someone i have not tested?'. Tomorrow you want God to be involved in your marriage. How can that be? Do it God's way....and you are marrying right. Do it the other way...and no matter how anyone wants to garnish it...you are marrying wrong.

There are a lot more. But feed on these for now.

*Paul's Secret*

"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:12-13 NIV UK.

It's a known fact that the situations and circumstances of the human life are subject to change. This truth is a universal experience, and humans all around the world are subject to the changes that occur within and without them.
In the face of the upheavals in the world, contentment would seem rather impossible. So many would consider it to be just a religious cliche or some vague concept meant to encourage the poor in their poverty.
Paul in the above passage claims to have learnt the secret of being content. What could he possibly be trying to communicate to his audience here? The answer is found in the thirteenth verse where he said: "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."
What kind of strength was he talking about? Was it some mighty physical strength like Samson's? Could it be a super human wisdom like king Solomon's? What kind of strength could he talking about? The writer of the book Hebrews re-echoed a promise of God made once to Joshua:
"I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you." Hebrews 13:5b NLT.

Anyone who understands God's greatness and goodness; and believes this promise will inevitably be filled with such confident hope and assurance knowing that if everything else fails, God won't fail.

Contentment is neither found in man who is insufficient of himself nor is it found in things. It is found in God - who is All-sufficient. He who is contented in the knowledge that God will neither fail nor abandon him is truly wealthy; for he has what it takes to survive the changing seasons of life.

When you feed on God's love and faithfulness, you can and will live through any and every situation.

Have a blessed day.
