*CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS VALENTINE CELEBRATION*

Firstly, what is Valentine...?
Valentine's Day, or St Valentine's Day, is celebrated every year on 14 February. It's the day when people show their affection for another person or people by sending cards, flowers or chocolates with messages of love.

The main purpose of Valentine are and what we Christian expected to do .....

1. *Love Your Enemies* :
“ If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them ” (Lk 6:32). It is easy to love those who love us back. How about loving those we hate? This Valentine’s Day, what if we all sent a valentine or a letter of forgiveness to someone we have been holding a grudge against? If the person is not alive, it is not prudent, or we are unable to communicate with them, say a prayer for the person.

2.*Pray for Those Who Experience Abuse Instead of Love*:
This Valentine’s Day we can join in prayer for those who experience an abusive, objectifying, and warped view of love. Let’s pray for those forced into prostitution, the healing and conversion of the hearts of women and men involved in the porn industry, men and women addicted to porn, children who are sexually abused, and victims of human trafficking. Humans are made to love, but the list of the many ways we abuse and reduce love is unfortunately endless.

3.*Read the bible*
Read d bible and claim d promise concerning love and pray for those that are not experiencing d real love of CHRIST.

4.*Pray for Vocations to Love*:
All of us are called to a spousal relationship. Some are called to marriage, others to an intimate, consecrated relationship with God. Either way, this Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to pray for those who have not yet found their vocation, those who are discerning, and those who are committing and have committed themselves to a deep call to love.

5. *Pick Your Scripture Valentine*:
I love the internet. How else would it be possible to search the entire Bible in 30 seconds for every occurrence of a word? I just searched the word “stupid” and apparently it shows up in Scripture twelve times. So, anyway, be a little more mature than me and search for the word “heart” – I usually use this web site . One of my favorites is: “ I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. *I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ez 36:26). Pick your favorite. This is God’s valentine to you!*

These are just a few ideas. Think of a few of your own and add them in the comments, I would love to read them!
Thanks.

GIVE IT TIME

When someone comes and tells you, "I can't sleep without you, I love you the way you are and I can put up with your good and bad attitude", before you commit your heart to such a person, please, *GIVE IT TIME*.

When You just met someone today and feel like marrying him/her tomorrow, before you do, remember you need to *GIVE IT TIME*.

When you visit your uncle during a vacation for 2 months, don't be carried away that they serve you your preferred food and give you hot water to bath during your first two days don't start making arrangements to relocate to their house, *GIVE IT TIME*.

When a brother visits you and wakes you up by his shouting of prayer from 12 am to 6 am, please don't shut him down, first *GIVE IT TIME*.

When someone joins your fellowship in the first year and he is in every group/dept, please don't rush and make him a leader, rather *GIVE IT TIME*.

When you enter a new environment and everybody worships you and eat your mess don't be carried away just *GIVE IT TIME*.

When someone comes with a new business with unbelievable promises, please before you involve your money, first *GIVE IT TIME*.

When you see a new church in town and you hear their waves, before you conclude about how hot they are, first *GIVE IT TIME*.

Finally, when you are in a cross road of decisions, you don't know what to do, ask the people or person involved to please *GIVE YOU TIME*.

You can be good in giving people tests and trying out who they are.

Some people know how to pass them all but the test of time they will fail.

Time tests Love and proves it.:-

Time tests businesses and authenticates it.

Time tests spirituality and reveals it.

Time tests friendship and uncovers true friends

Time, a good tester.

Don't say that the utilities in your area is now the best until you have *GIVEN IT TIME*.

Your uncle or Father told You that you are useless and worthless and can't amount to anything, just laugh it away and ask them to *GIVE YOU TIME*.

*_Quote me..._*

Consistency with time is the true test of Efficiency.

*Time is a TESTER*.

*Time is an AUTHENTICATOR*.

*Time is a REVEALER.*

*TIME IS STILL A MATTER*.

Thanks for giving this long post TIME...

A painful moment brings quietness & quietness gives inspiration for good thoughts, when all is well you don't think of "what next"... Just *"Give It Time"*

BEFORE YOU ENTER 2017

Good morning

Hold the forth

*Good Afternoon*
Just felt sharing this with you this afternoon.

*GHS [229] HOLD THE FORT*
[Category: Conflict and Victory]


1. Ho, my comrades! See the signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh.

Chorus:
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to heaven,
“By Thy grace we will.”

2. See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on:
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone!

3. See the glorious banner waving!
Hear the trumpet blow!
In our leader’s name we’ll triumph
Over every foe!

4. Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near:
Onward comes our great Commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

*What a confirmation*
For we are made partakers of Christ, *if will hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end* Hebrews 3:13

8 things you should do before 7AM

Not everyone is a morning person, but we try to wake up early and get ready for the day, A large number of successful people say they wake up early why even some people wake up as early as 4am to have a productive day for both them self and their family. You don’t have to wake up that early anyway, but you have to be ready for the day by 7am. The wee hours of the morning can be a good opportunity to self-care, wellness, creativity, reflection even productivity. Here are seven things you can do before the clock strikes 7 a.m. to put your best foot forward.


1. Prayer : Before doing anything in the morning you must pray, you must call on your Creator,thank him for his past mercies and commit today unto him.

2.Drink a glass of water: Drinking water early in the morning has two core benefits: it boosts metabolism and hydrates the body. Drinking water early in the morning is important because it helps rehydrate the body, so as soon as you wake up you’ll feel energised. You should set a goal of doing this after you wake up, some experts eve suggest to drink a big glass of water so you can avoid feeling sluggish or tired and also to start the day with a cleansed system.

3. Eat a healthy breakfast: It can be hard to eat early in the morning, but research shows that nourishing your body first thing in the morning leads to lower body mass index, better memory, improved attention skills, and increased daily calcium and fibre intake. A full stomach in the morning makes it easier to pass up unhealthy snacks at work and I've noticed that people who eat breakfast are more productive at work in the morning.

4. Limit phone use: A majority of us, have the bad habit of checking our phones the minute we open our eyes. It is advised we give ourselves time to be fully present before we check our phones. If not we’ll fall prey to the reactive, response mode that all those notifications and alerts promote. Stay off social media, don’t check your email, ignore that text message alert. This allowsyour morning to be a way to set the tone for a brand new day.

5. Carve our 15-30 minutes for yourself: The best time to be creative is early in the morning (i learn that from my dad). Carving out 15-30 minutes of your time should be at the top of your to-do list. Setaside 15 or 30 minutes every morning to do something just for you, just because you like to do it. Write, draw, paint, listen to your favourite playlist, practice French…whatever it is. If early morning is the only bit of “me time” you get before the rush of a busy day, use it to get your imagination revved up. Another option is to spend a few minutes reflecting before beginning your day. This could mean journaling or meditation.

6. Pack your lunch: This can also be a challenge, but not only does it save money it can also help you eat healthily. Your lunch doesn’t have to be co plicated, but there are easy, healthy lunch recipes you can make in less than 30 minutes.

7: Make a to-do list: It’s easy to start the day with your head swimming with everything you need to do.Stop, take a break, and start writing. Be realistic about what you can accomplish and try to plan out your day.

8: Move your body: You should work out for at least 30 minutes every morning. It helps reduce stress, boost endorphins, stoke your metabolism and make you feel awesome. Whether it’s a quick run, a group fitness class, workout in the middle of your living room or just a quick walk outside, moving your body in the morning is a great way to jumpstart your morning.

Have a wonderful day!!!

REPENT.... before it is too late

After the rapture...
Appetite for marriage will die.
Appetite for job will die.
Appetite for admission will die.
Appetite to be the Nigerian president will die...

Men of God that missed it will be ashamed to come out from their houses because of the shame of their members seeing them.

Christians that missed it will equally be ashamed to go close to those unbelievers they preached to but never gave heed to the gospel message.


I mean after the rapture, those who loved motivational messages will dislike them with passion and shall seek for messages of salvation.


Brother, after the rapture, grace on its own accord will cease here on earth. Spiritual gifts
will not be available because there will be no Holy Spirit to manifest them.

Those who are not raptured will take home the belongings of those that are raptured, if
peradventure it happened in a church service.

Those who never believed in rapture shall do so but it must have become too late.

I said after the rapture, those that miss it shall cry without end and no one to offer a word of hope because it will be all over then.

People would love to repent but there will be no Jesus on earth to accept them.

It is only sin that has what it takes to drop any man in hell. There won't be a second chance.
Their only hope will be hell.

Therefore Let us lay aside every weight and sin that doth so easily beset us and let us run with perseverance, the race that is set before us.... Please, let's pay more attention to eternity.*We shall not miss heaven in Jesus name. Amen

Never Walk Alone

If you want to go fast - Go Alone
If you want to go far - Go Together.

In life never walk alone but walk with GOD because he is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.
