DONT SPANK THAT CHILD AGAIN

Spanking is a type of corporal punishment, that is, punishments that are achieved by inflicting bodily pain on the offender, once child or teacher to students. There are different types of corporal punishments, including a judicial variant, but it tends to thrive most within the home and school settings. While many countries have laws against spanking a minor, in Africa. Children and adolescents are usually spanked if the adult in charge feels they have done something wrong. Many people are in support of this form of punishment. They believe it is a better way of imbibing discipline in children while some just feel it is the right thing to do because ‘they’ were brought up that way. I beg to differ. Various research studies show that spanking children usually have an adverse effect on the them. Beating, slapping, your child or throwing at your child tends to pull him/her away from you ; it makes them afraid of you and withdrawn from you, such that they would not want to share their problems with you for fear of being spanked. When children are frequently spanked, they grow into it; they become more stubborn and display more inappropriate attitudes. A common refrain among frequently spanked children is: “After all, I will cry and it will end”. When this happens, your aim of trying to make your child realise that his/her behaviour was out of line is defeated. Rather, what you have is a more unruly child. There are different measures that are more effctive than spanking. Always stay calm: when dealing with children always try to stay calm and collected. Try not to lose your cool to avoid making rash decisions. When you are calm, you realise that there are alternatives to tackling the issue. 2. Be gentle but firm : when admonishing a child, try to do this as gently as you can but make sure the child understands the consequences he/she would face if he repeats the act. 3. Avoid having an argument with your child : when you get into an argument with your child, they get defensive, and sometimes, they may sass you. This is counter-productive as you are likely to become angry, lose control (and spank them) or discipline them for sassing you- instead of addressing their initial fault. Use other forms of discipline to correct them when they error for younger children, 4. Use verbal reprimands : when reprimanding them, use your words. Try to make them see reasons why what they have done is wrong. If you always spank them, you only succeed in making them not to repeat the act (that is even rare), but they don’t know why they shouldn’t do it. Example when you spank a child for playing with fire, the child may learn not to play with fire but wouldn’t know that if he or she does that, that he or she would get burnt. Take time to explain the consequences of their actions. NOTE:- No child comes with an instruction manual about life , so they are bound to make mistakes; all we have to do is treat them with wisdom, understanding, love,

PURCHASE THE LIFE!!!

The reality peace is not in money, the actual life is in God. The reality of progress is not in recycling, the progress is in your reverencing. Find It, it's your responsibility to acknowledge Him cause He gave you life. It will bring the progress of the mind and the progress of living. You must cling to the understanding of what to know part time. Their is a template for progress, but progress of reverencing is unmeasurable. His wisdom is unthinkable so His reverencing is unmeasurable. You don't purchase life by what you know, you purchase life by mystery of what you don't know, thinking you know and it cannot be ignore. life will not do you well, if you don't know what you should know and do. The life of a billion dollar cannot overtake the progress of understanding and the fact of submissive. Thinking u can handle or fi tune peace and joy with luxury or pleasure will end in cancer and the association of the scornful. The power of true peace lies in your love and your reverencing. What is wealth in the presence of inert, what is darkness in the presence of light,what is life in the face of judgment. You will know by your level of love. God bless you richly. #PurchaseTheLife.

THIS IS MY GOD

God is God: 🏽He doesnt care about *age*, no wonder he blessed Abraham. 🏽He doesnt care about *experience*, no wonder he chose David. 🏽He doesnt care about *gender,* no wonder he lifted Esther. 🏽He doesnt care about *your past*, no wonder he called Paul. 🏽He doesnt care about *your physical appearance*, no wonder he chose Zacchaeus (the shortest one). 🏽He doesnt care about *fluency in speech* , no wonder he chose Moses. 🏽He doesnt care about *your career*, no wonder he choose Mary Magdalene; a prostitute. 🏽He doesn't care about *class*, no wonder he sent his own Son on earth. All I know is that my God never changes 🏽He never made *a promise he wouldn't keep*👌🏾 He never saw *a person he wouldn't help*👌🏾 🏽He never heard *a prayer he wouldn't answer*👌🏾 🖼He never found *a soul he wouldn't love*👌🏾 🏽He never found *a sinner he wouldn't forgive*👌🏾 This is the kind of God I would like to commune with every day the moment I wake up. I strongly recommend Him to you.

MOVING ON

Your life does not end because you had one disappointment. The fact that you failed doesn't make you a failure. The problem is quitting completely and refusing to move on. Moving on doesn't mean you forget about things, it just means you have to accept what happened and continue living with hope, instead of stressing yourself over things beyond your control. What has happened has happened, you are not defined by it, it only prepares you for a better future God has planned for you. Phil 3:13 says we should reach forth unto those things which are before (ahead of us). Leave the past and believe God for a better future. Job 14:7-9 says "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again.......through the scent of water, it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant." His word can revive any seemingly dead situation. The reason we are still alive is because God has a plan for our lives. We have gifts we haven't even discovered, dreams we haven't fulfilled, energies we haven't expended, talents we haven't touched, resources we haven't used, places we haven't gone, things we haven't done for God. We have too much life in us! Every grace and strength needed is in you (2 Cor 12:9) but you have to get up and move on with a renewed hope and determination. Your future is bright, you must get there! Let me conclude today's musing with this last thought, THERE ARE FAR BETTER THINGS AHEAD THAN ANYTHING YOU LEFT BEHIND. MOVE ON WITH THE AWESOME LIFE GOD HAS GIVEN YOU! Do have a fulfilling day! #SunriseToday Bringing hope and encouragement to the people.

THREE[3] WORDS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER

1. Change the word problem to the word situation: Problem is a negative word that triggers fear and anxiety, situation is a neutral word, so instead of saying we have a problem you can say we have a situation. 2. Change the word problem to the word challenge: Whenever something goes wrong, immediately say well we have an interesting challenge facing us today, you see challenge is a positive word, when you think of challenge you think of something that you could rise to, something that brings out the best in you and others, challenges are what makes life exciting and worth living by raising to the challenges a day to day life you would fulfil more and more of your potential. 3. Instead of saying we have a problem you can say we have an unexpected opportunity: Look for the good in every situation and these way approaching a problem is determine by your attitude, the attitude of looking for the good in every situation is looking for the advantage or benefits of every problem or difficulties is the way most successful people think. Accept problem and difficulty has normal, neutral and unavoidable part of life, you can never avoid them, problems would never stop... becoming a superior person requires accepting that when you set off for a journey of success you would experience unexpected turbulence. One of the marks of leaders is they don't like to fail, but they know they are going to fail over and over again on the road to success. >> If you wants to be successful faster, you must double your rate of failure success lies on the far side of failure, the way that you succeed and fail and fail and succeed is learn from every experience... Look for the good side and call it situation, challenge or opportunity to keep your mind positive and creative has you work through it

YOUR DESTINY

Whatever anybody says about you is not the final. This is because your destiny is not in the hands of any man. "Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?" Lamentations 3:37. Whatever is contrary in your life is only temporary. This is also because God has not finished with you. You are a special project in the hands of God and He will never abandon you. He has a place in mind for you and at the appointed time He will take you there (Jeremiah 29:11). Beloved, remain connected to Him. All will be well in Jesus Name.

MARRIED IN SCHOOL BUT SINGLE AT HOME. Pls share with teens, youth and Group Chats that care to read and be Enlightened. Welcome to Nigerian campuses where little girls are practising 'wifely functions'! Just visit the boys' hostels and you would be disappointed to find out that it is now common for a girl to live in with a course mate. It is now common for her lover to give her the popular compliment 'you look sexy my gal' and she would gladly reply 'thank you honey' with a flirty voice and a romantic smile. Who is her lover? A 300 level student whose CGPA is barely up to 1.78! And they are aiming for the next best couple award for the session by the departmental association. So, the girl need to live in with him to prepare along. What nonsense! It seems that some girls suddenly loose their senses immediately they gain admission. I've seen that some of them have no more sense of caution, honour and dignity. They would change their wardrobes and acquire a new set of make ups just to look 'campussy' and sexy enough for the guys. In months, they would start sleeping around with little boys. I mean boys who collect pocket money from their uncles! Dirty boys who most of the time are infected with sexually transmitted diseases. Hey! I want you to know that you were sent to school to obtain a degree not a disease. The campus is called a school; school not sex! You are on campus to receive education not ejaculation. You are here to master the use of a pen not the pleasures of a penis. Wake up girl! Do some thinking. Your future is greater than the 'best couple award'. You cook for a boy you are more intelligent than. You give your virginity to a boy who will definitely leave you after graduation. You play wife to a boy who cannot even care for himself. Oh, you have given too much. Enough! Open your eyes! Can't you see you're being foolish? You are passing through the fears of unwanted pregnancies yet you are opening your legs to a coward who cannot stand before your father. And when you eventually gets pregnant, he would brutally advise you to abort it and you would timidly agree; then face the consequences later. What a shame! You may master the use of condoms but you can't master the punishment of your conscience. Don't you know you are bringing shame to your family? Don't you know that you are cursing your mother by accepting to sleep with a boy (not even a man) without her consent? I cautioned a girl against sleeping around and she replied 'Sheddy, I don't sleep around; its only one boyfriend I have and am faithful to him'. What impunity! That's classified harlotry. And don't you know that sleeping with a man without your father's blessings is bringing a curse to your future? What happened to your cultural values? Somewhere in your heart you know he would use you and dump you; so why are you setting up yourself for a heartbreak? I want to remind you that you are a lady and one day you may get married. And your husband would know that you are such a dirty bitch who sleeps with anything on trousers. The greatest gift a lady would give to her husband on the wedding night is her virginity less lost it out of (rape) not the certificate of best couple of the year on campus! The other gifts for the rest of her life are her care and character not her curves and complexion! Real men know this; so, get it screwed in! Those treacherous boys would call you 'sexy' and you would answer? Oh, sorry! They touch your breast and you would smile? They would ask you out and you would oblige? Oh, you are indeed a mistake. Am not saying that you should be rude or never live a 'social life' but I want you to think deeper than you are currently doing. I want to turn your attention back to your books. You are not in school for breast exhibition. So, pay less attention to those boobs and give more attention to your books! You are not in school for cat walking show. You are rather here to show us the dignity of womanhood. You are here to prove to us that you are costly. So, why make yourself so cheap? I am writing this with both love and pain in my heart and that's why am sounding stern. I know about two girls now that have been living with their boyfriend since year one and as it is now they can't even even count how many abortions they had for that same boy at sch bae it's now like a normal thing to them, the last one she did almost took her life and that made her bleed for 4months, imagine how you do feel with ordinary 4 days of menstruation left alone living with it for months.. As a matter of fact one of them have damaged her fallopian tube due to excessive use of contraceptives she has taken to prevent pregnancy. I want you to look beyond now and think of what advise you would give your own daughter when you become a mother. I hope I have not offended you...if I have, please repent. To the decent girls I have seen on campus: do not be swayed by these evil. Be consistent and keep celebrating your purity. I am always proud of you. And God is more proud of you. Please share this message with all our youths and our teens. Thanks. Pls share with teens, youth and Group Chats © Dr Sam Concept

5 Golden Words

GOLDEN WORDS Issue 5, Volume 1 Topic: 6DS TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS Don't let your goals and resolutions fall by the wayside. Chances are that to achieve your dreams and live a life you love, those goals and resolutions are crucial. Goal setting and goal achievement are easier if you follow these six steps for effective and successful goal setting and resolution accomplishment. ¤ Deeply desire the goal: I read a book by Napoleon Hill, in one of his landmark books titled “Think and Grow Rich” he said, "the starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat." In a nut shell, I would say that the very first step in setting and achieving your dreams or goals is to have the DESIRE! ¤ Draft a plan for the conduit you need to follow to accomplish the goal. Schedule a procedure to follow by identifying the critical and most difficult path. The critical or most difficult path defines the key accomplishments along the way, the most important steps that must happen for the goal to become a reality. Another author named Stephen Covey, he said, "All things are created twice. There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation of all things. You have to make sure that the blueprint, the first creation, is really what you want, that you've thought everything through. Then you put it into bricks and mortar. Each day you go to the construction shed and pull out the blueprint to get marching orders for the day. You begin with the end in mind." I think He's right, but the question is how dedicated are you? ¤ Determine to achieve the goal: I read another book by Lee Iacocca, I can't remember the title, Lee iacocca said, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." If the goal is a thing, how will it feel together with your living? Some genius of goal setting or some good goal setter recommends that you keep a picture of the item where you can see them and be reminded of them daily. Step two above is what I do, I'll write out my goals on a sheet, paste it on the wall of my room, and every morning, I tell myself, I can, I will and I must make it, and today, I give God the glory. I want to tell you, If you can’t picture yourself achieving the goal, you won’t! So, it takes determination to achieve a goal! ¤ Dedicate yourself to achieving the goal I love Lee Iacocca, he is one of my mentor as a write, he said something, "The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen." I agree completely. Like I said in step 2, write down the plan, the action steps and the critical path. Somehow, writing down the goal, the plan and a timeline sets events in motion that may not have happened otherwise. Come, not just writing the plan, or the step, but how dedicated are you to achieve them? Deny yourself of all unnecessary fun, although, it's not easy, but it worth doing, deny yourself of much sleep. In my own life, it's now habitual and now addicted to it. I sleep maximum of one hour daily, much reading, studying, writing, and many activities that make's me happy, when I do this, it is as if I am making a deeper commitment to goal accomplishment. I can’t fool myself later. The written objective really was the goal and it has helped me a lot. Do yours! ¤ Devote times for checking your progress in your calendar system: Note, you have a draft of your goals, whatever it is: a day planner, a PDA, a PDA phone or a hand written list. If you’re not making progress or feel stymied, don't let your optimism keep you from accomplishing your goals. No matter how positively you are thinking, you need to assess your lack of progress. Adopt a pessimist’s viewpoint; something will and probably is, going to go wrong. Take a look at how you've gone, what and what have you accomplished, what is left, take a look at all of the factors that are keeping you from accomplishing your goal and develop a plan to overcome them. Add these plan steps to your calendar system as part of your goal achievement plan. I tell you, it will work out ¤ Develop your overall progress regularly. Make sure you are making progress. If you are not making progress, hire a coach, tap into the support of loved ones, analyze why the goal is not being met. Don’t allow the goal to just fade away. Figure out what you need to do to accomplish it. Check the prior five steps starting with an assessment of how deeply you actually want to achieve the goal. These six steps to goal setting and achieving techniques or system seem simple, but it is one of the most powerful technique or system you will ever find for achieving your goals. You, just give it a try! Best wishes and good luck.

TO ALL MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER AND LIFE COACHES

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS AND LIFE COACHES 2 In 2009, I was invited to speak at a church in Surulere, Lagos. I had just N10 in my pocket, so I trekked from Ajegunle to the venue of the event. I was thinking I would be given an honorarium, but all my host thought I deserved was a bottled water and handshake. I trekked back home under our hot-as-desert-soil-sun. In 2010, one of the speakers Abstinence Icon invited for her first Impact Summit asked that we handle his travel logistics. My fellowship had promised to give me the fellowship bus, but on the morning of the event, the pastor and driver refused to pick their calls. Looking for a taxi was our only option. My brother, John Okwudiri Anene, got a taxi man that charged N10,000. Getting that N10,000 was a miracle. So after the event, when the driver insisted that we add an extra N2,000 to the agreed price because we spent more hours than we told him we would, we pleaded but he refused. There was no where I could get N2,000 - none of my team members could produce it. All our money put together was not even up to N800. So, after waiting for 30 minutes with no solution in sight, the speaker asked the taxi man to drive off. I don't think I've ever been that humiliated all my life. Nonetheless, I learnt a lesson that day: A dream without finance may become a nightmare. So I told myself the truth: I needed a job. I dusted my computer engineering tools and resumed my engineering job, I took my volunteering job at Employment Clinic seriously. I vowed not to experience that humiliation again. In 2011, I was invited to speak at Covenant University and was introduced as Apostle of Sexology. As I was about to leave, a guy approached me and introduced himself as Bishop of Sexuality. I smiled, shook his hand and in my humourous way, attempted to prostrate for him. He praised and told me how he has been following my work on Facebook. He also told me he has a passion similar to mine and a few things he had done. After talking for a while, he asked: "How do you make money?" "I don't make money," I began, "I live on people's generosity." He was obviously not satisfied with my answer, so I shared with him a few lessons I've learnt on the job and things that have helped me. I saw him share tips a few times on Facebook after that. About 7 months later, his name popped up on my timeline and I initiated a chat: "Bishop, it's been a while ooooo!" "Apostle, I have left this speaking thing. It is not working for me. I got a job in a bank." I was happy for him. He did the right thing by looking for a job that would at least, put food on his table. (I asked for his permission before sharing this) Dear young speaker and life coach, forget all those exciting speeches you hear in seminars. Majority of us were lied to by those we looked up to. They told us we could do it without showing us how. They made us feel they built their empires by honouring 365 speaking engagements in a year, whereas they have consulting jobs, coaching jobs, trainings and some other investments not related to speaking at all. In Warri, while discussing with my brother, Godstime Eluma, he was happily telling me how he wanted to meet with this this and that whenever he comes to Lagos. He told me how that person made millions of naira and how the other made thousands of dollars and how popular they are. "Hey bro! Stop that," I said to him. Social media is not real life. I know these people you are mentioning and you have been fed with lies. They turn you on, but like a man with low sperm count, they can't get you pregnant. I shared with him how one of the names he mentioned stood on the podium of one of the biggest churches in Lagos, brought a photographer to snap him as if he was speaking to an audience and flooded social media with the picture and captioned it with "Had a great time speaking at 'this that this'." I also told him about another who on her flyer writes N30,000, N50,000 for training yet pings people behind to pay just N2,000 if they can't afford the amount on her flyer. Yet, this is not known to my brother. He believed all the lies and was willing to drop all his life savings to be under their tutelage. Sure, there are genuine ones, but the lying ones have taken over social media. The truth is that they don't make the money they lie about. My mentor would always say to me, "Matthew, speaking is not all that I do. I consult, coach and have investment in other places." "Hope you are making money? Don't travel all over and be poor," he would conclude with. I know many of his other businesses, he didn't hide them from me. But many of the motivational speakers and coaches we run after lie to us as though speaking for 30 minutes is all that brought the millions. Friends, there's more to the millions than speaking.

So Touching

***So Touching** .....Read and Share! One night, President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation, President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you?" She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant?" Michelle responded, “No, if I had married him, he would now be the President Of The US.” Believe it or not, sometimes it's a woman that makes a man who he is! So for the single men that are still searching for a wife, may God help us all to find that help mate that will turn us from "a nobody" into "a somebody, not someone that will turn us to a piece of rag". For that single lady that is reading this, may you be that blessing no man can do without.

Touching Story

This really inspired me Dr. Ahmed, a well known cancer specialist, was once on his way to an important conference in another city where he was going to receive an award in the field of medical research. He was excited about the award and so boarded a plane to the venue. However, two hours after the plane took off, it made an emergency landing at the nearest airport due to a technical problem. Afraid that he would not make it in time to the conference, he immediately went to the reception to make enquiries. He found out that he would have to wait ten hours for the next flight to his destination! He rented a car and drove himself to the conference city which was four hours away. Soon after he left, the weather changed and a heavy storm began. The downpour made it difficult for him to see so he missed a turn he was supposed to take. Driving in the heavy rain on a deserted road, feeling hungry and tired, he frantically began to look for any sign of civilization. He came across a small tattered house and knocked on the door. A beautiful lady opened the door. He explained his situation and wanted to use the lady's telephone but she had no telephone. She however asked him to come inside and wait till the weather improved. The doctor who was hungry and exhausted accepted the offer. The lady offered him something to eat and drink. She asked him to join her in prayers but he declined. According to him, he believed in hard work, not in prayers! Sitting at the table and sipping his tea, the doctor watched the woman pray many times beside a baby's crib. Feeling that the woman might be in need of help, the doctor asked her what exactly she needed from God and asked if God ever listened to her prayers. When he inquired of the child in the crib, the woman explained that her son was down with cancer. And they had been advised to see a doctor named Ahmed who could cure him but she did not have enough money to afford his fees. She said that God had not yet answered her prayers but said that God would create some way out one day. She added that she would not allow her fears to overcome her faith! Stunned and speechless, Dr.Ahmed began to weep! He was forced to say out loud, "GOD IS GREAT" and recollected to the woman, all the sequences of bad events: malfunction on the plane, a thunderstorm and how he lost his way. All of which had happened because God answers prayers, wanted to give him a chance to come out of his bondage of materialistic career pursuit and give some time to a poor, helpless woman who had nothing but rich prayers! Oh! What a God! God may not answer your prayers YOUR WAY but he will always answer HIS way. Behind the scenes, he will move men, the weather, events, circumstances etc in order to work out the best for you! Do not stop trusting! Do not stop hoping! God is busy planning your dancing this year! Hold on! Hold out! Look up daily! (this touched and still touches me. I hope it touches you too.)

Time Differences

Kenya is two hours ahead of Nigeria, but it does not mean that Nigeria is slow, and it does not mean that Kenya is faster than Nigeria. Both countries are working based on their own "Time Zone." Some one is still single..Someone got married and 'waited' ten years before having a child, there is another who had had a baby within one year after marriage. Everyone is working in their "Time Zone " Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a job; and there is another who graduated at the age of 27 and secured employment just after national service. Everyone is working in their "Time Zone " Joyce Meyer started her own ministry at age 41 and still alive today at 71 years old. She is working in her "Time Zone " Someone became CEO at the age of 25 and died at the age of 50 while another became a CEO at the age of 50 and lived to 90 years. Everyone worked based on their 'Time Zone'.. Some people have everything that work fast for them. Work in your "Time Zone" and pray for God's direction. Brethren, God has designed us for a particular purpose that is different from the other person. God allows things to happen at His own time. Your Time Will Come. Colleagues, friends, associates, younger one(s) might "seem" to go ahead of you. Don't envy them, it's their 'Time Zone.'. Yours is coming soon. In this second quarter of 2016, be strong, stay focused stay in faith and stay true to yourself. All things shall work together for your good. You’re not late… you’re on time! God Bless you.

Can you answer this....

Dream Job

Goodafternoon , I'd like to ask u all a question on what's your Dream Job?

Fact about Life

Over time I've discovered there is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks are different and our duration are different. The only thing we have in common is the same empire. For instance, one person graduates @age 20 and struggles for another 5 years to get a job, another might graduate @ 25 and get a job immediately. One can marry a virgin and wait for the next decade to have the blessing of children, another lady probably after having series of abortions in her past, becomes a mother almost immediately after marriage. A fellow becomes MD @ 38 and dies @ 56, another becomes MD @ 55 and lives to 90. What a life? Life is full of twists, turns-ups and downs and many more surprises and disappointments. Life offers each and everyone of us different opportunities and once an opportunity is lost, it's gone forever except by the grace of God. It is up to each one of us to patiently prepare, wait, recognise and utilize every opportunity. We learn on the way. No one has it all or knows it all. There is a reason why we all don't fall @the same time, It's so that when one is down, weak and discouraged, the other who is strong can encourage and lift the other person. God never promises that the road would be easy, but he promised never to leave or forsake us. Although life is complicated, let us learn to go easy on ourselves and trust that God is working it all out for our good (even if it doesn't make sense now).

There are various different reasons that might play the vital role in making the student lazy and inactive as far as the studies are concerned, due to this the students are unable to perform the given educational task in time and when the completes it they are still unable to do as per the desired given conditions of the instructor. That is one very common problem faced by the students not only in this present era but it is the problem since the initiative of education was being taken. There might be so many reasons which contribute in this regard but few of the reasons which are considered to be significant and the most crucial may include: (1) Incomplete Sleep: if the students are not having the proper sleep during the night he or she will always feel lazy and dizzy while their studies. Studies is a mental activity so it requires the freshness of the mind which is mainly achieved through proper sleep and once the sleep is not being taken properly than the laziness will prevail during the studies. (2) Taking the proper interest in the education and in the studies is very much essential; this is required so that the level of concentration and dedication of the student is being maintained with the studies. If the student is unable to carry the concentration level properly than he or she will surely face the problem of laziness and improper focus while studies. (3) Studying at night: This is another very common practices of the students nowadays. They prefer studying at nights as compared to the days, in the days they continue their regular hectic routine and when they are tired both mentally and physically than they starts to study at night when they should have gone to bed. This change in the schedule and planning is one of the major reasons for which the student’s faces problem while studies and become lazy and less energetic. (3) Studying for long continuous hours is also one major reason for which the students face the problem of laziness this is because when their body is at rest which means that it is in a static mode without any vigorous physical movement it makes the body feel tired and the student starts to feel being fatigued and lazy. This is also one significant reason for which this problem occurs in the students during their studies. (4) Depending on AOC, EXPO: Many students of today are so confident that they cannot fail since there is a way they can bring in Micro cheaps on the days of exam. Or probably, requesting Lecturers, Teachers to give them AOC, so that on their own, they prepare a ready made answers to an unseen question. Tell me how will such student be good? In this conversation of ours, I'm reminded of something Edward Fergus, a school-equity expert at New York University-Steinhardt, once told me in an Interview for a story. If students lack readiness for doing academic work, he said, "it's our job to to make sure we get them there." Does that apply here?, Yes!!!!! But our students in Nigeria her are so lazy and comfortable with their performances and they want the country to improve! Anyway, let me pen off.

Enjoy this piece I find it inspiring A Crow lived in the Forest and was absolutely satisfied in life. But one day he saw a Swan... This Swan is so white and I am so black.. Crow thought. This Swan must be the happiest bird in the world. He expressed his thoughts to the Swan. "Actually," the Swan replied, "I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a Parrot, which has two colours. I now think the Parrot is the happiest bird in creation." The Crow then approached the Parrot The Parrot explained, "I lived a very happy life— until I saw a Peacock. I have only two colours, but the Peacock has multiple colours." The Crow then visited a Peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him. After the people had left, The Crow approached the Peacock.. Dear Peacock, You are so beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shove me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet. The Peacock replied, I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo. I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the Crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for the past few days I have been thinking that if I were a Crow, I could happily roam everywhere. That's our problem too. We make unnecessary comparison with others and become sad. We don't value what God has given us. This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness. Let's value the things God has given us. Learn the secret of being happy and discard the comparison which leads only to unhappiness. Learn to thank God for everything. Beauty is not a guarantee to marriage. Falling sick does not mean you are about to die. Getting rich is not the definition of prosperity. Building a nice house is not enjoying luxury. Sleeping on an expensive bed does not bring you sound sleep. Driving a new car is not a guarantee that you're going to arrive at your destination. Wearing the best clothes does not mean they look good on you. Having a family doctor does not guarantee permanent health. Being highly educated is not a sign of wisdom. Marrying from a rich home does not guarantee a happy marriage. Winning an argument does not mean that you are correct. Whatever is done without the merit of Heaven is fake or temporal. He who builds without God, is building for nothing; and he who watches over a city without God, watches in vain. Not everything is possible with men. Yet everything is possible with God.

Father and daughter

Ponder on this Once a girl bought an iPad, when her father saw it, He asked "What was the 1st thing you did when you bought it? "I put an anti-scratch sticker on d screen and bought a cover for the iPad" she replied. "Did someone force you to do so?" "No" "Don't you think it's an insult to the manufacturer?" "No dad! In fact they even recommend using a cover 4 the iPad" "Did you cover it because it was cheap & ugly?" "Actually, I covered it because I didn't want it to get damage and decrease in value." "When you put the cover on, didn't it reduce the iPad's beauty?" "I think it looks better and it is worth it for the protection it gives my iPad." The father looked lovingly at his daughter and said, "Yet if I had asked you to cover your body which is much more precious than the iPad, would you have readily agreed???" She was mute..... Indecent dressing and exposure of ur body reduces ur value nd respect. May God guide us all.

To all the Singles out there

Beauty attracts men but wisdom keeps them. Elegance catches men's attention but intelligence convinces them. Nagging irritates men but constructive silence weakens them. The "boy" in every man pumps out occasionally, the ability to handle this is a woman's truest maturity. Men have secret struggles and silent pains, should you ever find them out, you have exhibited the greatest maturity. In the long run, your "words" matter more to a man than your looks, so invest the right words. Earn a man's respect and he will consider you the yardstick for all his actions. Learn to mould the moods of your man. Men will naturally give you their futures if they can recall your maturity in yesterday's issues....... Women are everywhere but queens are scarce. Let the queen in you come alive and he will hold you in high esteem.

Generation of young Christian

Generation of Young Christians: 1. We are always right and we never accept correction. A corrector is seen as an enemy. 2. We love to sing in Church, but do not read our Bibles at home. 3. We are full of lust, sensuality and emotions and we call it love. 4. We want to have wonderful marriages, but by the time we are 25 years we've already spent almost ten years in relationships. Sometimes, we may have had more boy lovers and girl lovers than even our parents. 5. Sexual activities are now part of our relationships calling it romance. 6. We want to be rich in life, meanwhile, we spend all our finances on the latest ipads, iphone, laptops, cameras, smartphones, etc, which in many cases we uses less than 30% of their functions. 7. We do not pay our tithes and offerings claiming we are students. 8. We say we are Christian men & women but dress like hollywood stars and we call it fashion. 9. We love pleasures rather than God. 10. In Church you will see us with our hands lifted up singing slow songs which we call worship but on our phones in our pockets, you will see pics of naked and half naked women, hip hop, Antichrist, etc and we have a nice way of justifying it. 11. We are hardly convicted when we go to Church because our hearts have been hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and pride. But God forsaw these and warned us in 2 Timothy 3 That in the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. We need to change our ways, we have no excuse on judgement day. You can forward if u want to. But I know u wouldn't because is not funny. share Jesus today to save yourself and the world @large BIBLICAL TRUTH

HAPPY EASTER!!!

🙏HAPPY EASTER!!! To you all👑👑👑👑

In 1892 at Stanford University: An 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education. They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck and the boys began to work to make the concert a success. The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight. They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance $400. They promised to honour the cheque at the soonest possible. “No,” said Paderewski. “This is not acceptable.” He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys: “Here’s the $1600. Please deduct whatever expenses you have incurred. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left”. The boys were surprised, and thanked him profusely. It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being. Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think “If I help them, what would happen to me?” The truly great people think, “If I don’t help them, what will happen to them?” They don’t do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it’s the right thing to do. Paderewski later went on to become the Prime Minister of Poland. He was a great leader, but unfortunately when the World War began, Poland was ravaged. There were more than 1.5 million people starving in his country, and no money to feed them. Paderewski did not know where to turn for help. He reached out to the US Food and Relief Administration for help. He heard there was a man called Herbert Hoover — who later went on to become the US President. Hoover agreed to help and quickly shipped tons of food grains to feed the starving Polish people. A calamity was averted. Paderewski was relieved. He decided to go across to meet Hoover and personally thank him. When Paderewski began to thank Hoover for his noble gesture, Hoover quickly interjected and said, “You shouldn’t be thanking me Mr. Prime Minister. You may not remember this, but several years ago, you helped two young students go through college. I was one of them.” The world is a wonderful place. What goes around comes around, pls help others, God will definitely help you. Thank you for reading.

What inspires you?

What inspires you? There are a lot of things that can provide inspiration – seeing other people accomplish great things, seeing other people overcome adversity, hearing inspirational quotes from great people, even the sheer beauty of nature can remind us just how lucky we are to be alive. It’s easy to forget what an amazing gift life really is. Our lives are nothing but a cosmic blink. Even our seemingly all-encompassing world is just tiny blue dot circling an average sized star spiraling around a galaxy of 200-400 billion stars, which itself is just one galaxy among billions more. Yet for one brief moment, we get to experience the wonders of existence, of consciousness. Having a positive outlook on life is a crucial part of finding inspiration. In the paragraph above, did you feel inspired reading about the vastness of our universe and our unique place within it, or did you feel overwhelmed and depressed at the insignificance of it all? Our brains are wired to find things we’re looking for – if you’re always cynical or waiting for things to go wrong, then your life will reflect that. On the other hand, having a positive outlook on life will bring you joy and provide you with inspiration when you least expect it. Of course, there are times when it’s difficult to feel cheery or positive – life can be difficult. If you’re having trouble seeing the cup as half full instead of half empty, reading some positive quotes about life can help you snap out of your funk. Here are some inspirational life quotes to help you see the amazing potential that life has to offer.

"Raising Godly Children" Chapter 1

Chapter 1

A CALL TO LEADERSHIP

“Where no counsel is the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety” Proverbs 11:14

God has called every parents to leadership to nurture and take care of their children, The most common question I hear is, “How do I stay positive in taking care of this children”, Here are some few suggestions:

Even though you are not the best parents in the world, focus on being the best and bringing out the best in them, tune out negativity and negative comments on them.

        Remember you cannot control what your child says and do, but you can control how he or she behaves.

        There is an old adage, which says, “Never wrestle with a pig because you’ll both get dirty and the pig will enjoy himself”. Never fight with your child because God has called you to leadership.

“Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men”. Matthew 5:13

Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth” and salt has two functions. It stops things from going bad, and it adds taste and flavor.

Your job as a parent is to preserve, reconcile, and give hope to your children; do you sometimes find yourself saying, ‘I get so angry when they refuse to listen to me’. How can I make them listen and hear what I’m trying to say? Unless you are involved in debate, arguing with your child who’s unwilling to listen to you is useless and waste of time. State your viewpoint to him/her with clarity and purpose but do not become defensive and argumentative, If it is not received, you’ll only hurt yourself and the relationship between you and your child.

When arguing hold your tongue and try to remember these words of wisdom. ‘A gentle heart turns away wrath, but a harsh words stirs up anger’.

“The tongue of the wise useth knowledge a right, but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness” Proverbs 15:2

There was a woman who had a female daughter, anytime her daughter offends her she will curse her ‘saying’ you will be killed by motor vehicle; years past she graduated from the university while coming back from the graduation ceremony she had an accident and died…… The question now is “who killed her?”……….

“If you want kids to listen, lower your voice instead of raising it. This forces kids to focus. Whisper, ‘If you can hear me, touch your nose.’ After a little while, everyone does it.”

Dr. Sam is a motivational speaker (a coach trainer), a gospel singer, and an author of a book title "Raising Godly Children".
He gives talk to parents who are having problems in bringing up their kids, and how they can have in good relationship with their kids.
@Dr. Sam quote "Children knows when you are saying things that are not reality in your life, don't lie to them speak truth all time".
