ABORTION

This is a necessary evil to many victims who find themselves caught up in the act.
To the world, it is a evil that must be eradicated by all means.
The fact is abortion is a 50:50 way street, chances of survival is very slim. Is your life truly worth the risk?

• 

To every pregnant lady contemplating this act this is for you;

I won’t religiously tell you that it’s against the will of God. I won’t tell you it’s a sin, because you know all that.
But what I will tell what I would tell a sister and a loved one;
You’re loved far beyond what you can imagine. So, if you can, please don’t go ahead with that decision to terminate the pregnancy.

What’s the worst that can happen, if you keep the child?
Let’s weigh the cost, it’s not as expensive as you think, to keep the baby.
Oh yes it’s not!

1. You can keep the child.
   You can give the child up for adoption after you delivery that is if you can’t feed an extra hand. Many woman out there like you will love and cherish that seed God wonderfully planted in you today. Thousands of women are childless out there, you could just be their answer to prayer.
2. The Fear!
   The Fear of what to tell your parents is nothing compared to the pain of abortion or untimely death.
   The Fear of facing the world is nothing compared with the torture of dying an unfulfilled life.
   Abortion is the most scariest thing I have ever seen in my whole. The ripping apart of your womb. The blood of an innocent child on your hands.
   It’s not a sight to behold!!!
3. The society?
   I always told my friend and I tell you that, people will always talk! Listen to me, they will talk!
   So let them talk, that’s why God gave them mouths to do so. If you can’t stand the pressure, move to somewhere else.
   Every pregnant woman needs all the love and support she can get. That includes even those women shamed by the society as, ‘wayward and lacks good home training’. Every friend that despises you in your day of trial may not actually be your friend.
4. Your parents?
   Your parents may be hurt, and that’s because they love you. They may be disappointed, it’s understandable. Your parents may threaten to disown you or even do so, it happens. You are not the first, nor will you be the last to experience such.
   But, one thing I know your parents will never want is to see you lifeless or dead tomorrow. So pick up yourself and stand tall.
   They may despise and reject you today, but tomorrow they will embrace you. This pregnancy may someday be your reason to thank God.

Give that child a chance!

Safe place

Writing has always been my safe place. A safe place is essential for a sound mental and productive life especially for us in Nigeria, that can’t afford the luxury of hiring a psychiatrist for a therapy session. In such cases finding your safe place is just the best remedy.

For some people a safe place is a particular location where they can air out their views without having to worry about what or who concurs to it.

For some, a safe place is an religious location where they can burst out their negativity, fears and worries and almost immediately embrace what they can’t change and heed to their inner soul.

While to some others, a safe place is a hobby they get to engage in whenever they are stressed out or anxious, so that they can offload their cares and reload their attitude in check.

Finding my feet in Life hasn’t been so rosy for me. I struggled with identity crisis for a long time. Then, I stumbled into WordPress, a blogging community where I learnt more about writing. From then on, I discovered my safe place ever since.

Writing became a safe place where I can fusion myself into every character and still maintain balance with the world. A place where my views are heard in a world of so many voices. It’s also a place where I can unwind, rewind and flow through time.

Find your safe place!
I will capture some of my previous and current writing.
Stay tuned!
Follow me on this writing journey.

Living A Successful Life For Jesus

Love language

Living a purposeful life is life of direction. You ought to live a life of purpose. You’re not called to solve problems but your assignment defines your purpose.you are not called to be creative, you are called to be aligned.
Life is precedented on the discovery of purpose. What are you designed for?

Ways that leads to purpose;
Vision:

God weighs men by the assignment, God has auction them carry out. The more you align to fulfill purpose, the more relevant you are in the kingdom. Vision is simply the ability to see into purpose. A  man that sees must be born of the spirit of God.
John 3:3-6, 5:20, 17:3, Matthew 13:10-13, Ephesians 4:18.

What kind of vision do you have?

How to station yourself to see Habakkuk 2:1. Are you standing upon your watch? What have been called to?

Someone left the presence of God and built a city. But physical success is not measured by what a man attains. John 15:4.

Excellence and productivity in 2022

Training for excellence and productivity in 2022.

Excellence in a new year

In Acts 20:28, keep watch over yourselves and until you do so you can not reach the flock. Even while you are at home,are you in touch with your members, and cell members.
Revelation 1:5, being a leader in the house of God is your first priority. you must magnify your office. you can’t afford to fail in your responsibility with God. you have to be excellent with the things God has entrusted to your care. excellence is a choice and you must choose it to produce excellent results. When you choose excellence, it motivates you.listen to pastor Chris message on the spirit of excellence.
When you are excellent in your responsibility as a cell leader your results are undeniable.

Daniel 6:1-5, the Bible says, Daniel had an excellent spirit. This is because he was accountable to the king, so that the king didn’t suffer loss. The life of a leader, a cell leader to remain accountable.
1. Reliability- Daniel stood out because he was trustworthy
2. Stability. there’s no stability without reliability. Are you responsible enough to be reliable.
3. Discipline – be disciplined enough to know when and where to answer the call of duty. We are not christians with a prayer time, we are christians with a consistent prayer life.
4. Eliminate excuses from your life, because there’s no excuse that is good enough for lack of responsibility to duty. Eliminate excuses why you don’t hold cell meetings, eliminate excuses because excuses reduces a man’s standard. We only give reasons for our accomplishment. the consequences of failures is death. when you fail to attend to responsibilities, we play with the soul Jesus died for. Failure is not allowed. to fail with these people is expensive, no half measures, always tell yourself, God can count on me, my parents can count on me, my employer can count on me.
5. Be zealous to have ten people of your kind. be zealous to train others that will be excellent like you.
6. Don’t stop learning, don’t surround yourself with things that are not relevant. Don’t engage in a relationship that will drag you out of the will of God. there’s urgency of time. Jesus is coming, God is counting on us.
7. Don’t copy others. it is not everybody you admire. Be inspired by excellent people results. be inspired by great men.
8. Rise above your environment. rise above Dutsin-Ma. don’t allow your environment culture you. Be excellent
9. Be prayerful.

Mystery of worship.

Tahila is the worship of God with instruments. Praising God through sounds are used also to express your worship. It is therefore important to gain mastery in a particular instrument. As seen in the life of David, David used the harp to cast out the demonic operation in the life of Saul. It is the groaning in the spirit that culminates the mystery of worship.

God is not interested in your complain but in complete praise.
When you praise God, you raise him into action.
God still deserves our praise even in our depression.

Though, Prayer and fasting moves things praise moves God.
You are bigger than your problems, your God is far more bigger.

Use your weapon of praise to the year 2022.

Happy Christmas and New year

Be strong and courageous

Sometimes, we may walk in unbelief many times and we fail to realize. Mark 11:23

First is the word of faith, you confess and confess

Second don’t doubt what you have said

Third the prayer of faith, believe that you receive

Then and only then you Shall have it.

Sometimes, things get worse before they get better. Just like a woman who a doctor tells that she is pregnant,

Don’t change your words, your words changes everything. When you speak don’t go back on Jesus said, you shall have what you say.

God’s principles

Joshua 1:6-9

God continually reminds Joshua to be strong and courageous before situations will confront you. Problems will keep coming that would question your faith and your God.

Fear and doubt may come but don’t voice it!

Voicing your fears you give it power over you. Don’t speak fear speak wins.

Say the victory, speak what the Lord says. Never be discouraged

Don’t expect to be treated nicely, only God treats you nicely. Get excited about your, get excited about what God is doing in you.

Sometimes, the best sight

Doing the word in simple matters

James 4:1
[1]What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
James talks about the conflicts that arises from your own inner senses. “Only hurting people, hurt others. when certain people suffer pain they transfer this pain to others.
Until you learn to have Jesus as Lord over your life, you keep getting hurt and you get more and more isolated.Philippians 3:12
[12]Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
[13]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
it’s imperative that the Lord God change you and let the word of God change, apply the word to your life and don’t let the word of God be common to you that it’s not effective in your life.
there’s an effort you need to make on your part. The word controls our thinking.
Philippians 3:14
[14]I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.Philippians 3:17
[17]Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.
Be consistent and presereve just as those who have already done in their example. As Christian, you have to listen for Jesus. follow the pattern of the Lord in the word. 
Don’t borrow and not pay back Deuteronomy 24:15 Psalm 34.
Philippians 3:18-19
[18]For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
[19]Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.
These people they are slaves of their own mind, slaves of their own passion and stomach. Their god is their appetite, your God is who controls you. cut out anger, bitterness, and pain by circumcising your hearts with the word of God.

What makes news, NEWS

The 12 factors also known as Galtung and Ruge‟s news values list:
1- Frequency: An event that unfolds within a publication cycle of the news medium is more likely to be selected
than a one that takes place over a long period of time.
2- Threshold: Events have to pass a threshold before being recorded at all; the greater the intensity (the more
gruesome the murder or the more casualties in an accident), the greater the impact and the more likely it is to be selected.
3- Unambiguity: The more clearly an event can be understood and interpreted without multiple meanings, the more
likely it is to be selected.
4- Meaningfulness: The culturally familiar is more likely to be selected.
5- Consonance: The news selector may be able to predict (due to experience) events that will be newsworthy, thus
forming a “pre-image” of an event, which in turn increases its chances of becoming news.
6- Unexpectedness: Among events meaningful and/or consonant, the unexpected or rare event is more likely to be
selected.
7- Continuity: An event already in the news has a good chance of remaining in the news (even if its impact has been
reduced) because it has become familiar and easier to interpret.
8- Composition: An event may be included as news less because of its intrinsic news value than because it fits into
the overall composition or balance of a newspaper or news broadcast.
9- Reference to elite nations: The actions of elite nations are seen as more consequential than the actions of other
nations.
10- Reference to elite people: Again, the actions of elite people, likely to be famous, may be seen by news selectors
as having more consequence than others, and news audiences may identify with them.
11- Reference to persons: News that can be presented in terms of individual people rather than abstractions is likely
to be selected.
12- Reference to something negative: Bad events are generally unambiguous and newsworthy. (Galtung and Rouge
1965 cited in O‟Neill and Harcup , 2009, p.164-165)

Five things the Bible does for you

Also, Grice (1989), this definition will be largely defines the four maxims as below:

1. Quantity (give as much information as is required, and no more than is required)
2. Quality (do not say what is false or that for which you lack adequate evidence)
3. Relation (be relevant)
4. Manner (be clear, be orderly, and avoid ambiguity) (Ibid, p. 28).

These rules are instrumental to news formulation, and the content newsworthy. (Galtung and Rouge
1965 cited in O‟Neill and Harcup , 2009, p.164-165)

Rich towards God

1. look to yourself- be honest with yourself.
2. look at the word and let for your corrections. Galatians 6:7. don’t allow the world correct you. God is more interested in you knowing the word than sowing seed.
3. look at God everyday of your life. Psalm 123-2, Deuteronomy 8:17, 2 Corinthians 3:5. your ability is of God alone and he is working in us.

• 

Isaiah 60:1 Arise
To arise means change your posture and position, Change your mindset and change your friends so that you can see what God is doing.
To arise means to change your attitude and placement because God wants to lead you alright and give God your attention. your attitude defines your change in life. 2 peter1:5, sow to your faith good character. Honor people than are older than you. Our culture in this ministry is respect and giving. Don’t give men too much attention and give God less attention.
position yourself everyday where you can hear God to know what he is saying. life is governed by principles not chance. move away from places or people of discouragement, don’t allow anyone discourage you and Everytime you are in the place of discouragement you can’t hear God. Don’t look back, at your lost course, don’t look back on your wrongs. move towards something good Ecclesiastes 11:9 if something looks good to you pursue it.
Be focused on the master’s Jesus needs, see things from Christ perspective_ Colossians 3:1.
1. Soul winning
2. build people; develop a lifestyle of faith, develop a lifestyle of prayer,
3. send them (John 15:16)
The vision of loveworld (the supernatural)

Our vision can be caught by(1) revelation Galatians 2:20, when the vision is in you , (2)you produce an output, Roman 1:16, Colossians 4:17, when we say you are running with the vision meaning our results should be better than Abraham, Isaac and Daniel, Elisha and Ezekiel, Romans 15:4. James 4:17.

When God ask you to do something for him, make sure you win because it is your promotion. finally, your mind needs be cultivated and ready for seeds to produce results, Luke 8:11, your spirit determines the course of your mouth proverb 4:20-23, psalm119:63, phillipians4:9

THE BASIC DOS AND DON’TS OF THE MALE AND FEMALE HALLS OF RESIDENCE AT FUDMA

Presently, Federation University Dustin-ma, Katsina State (FUDMA) operates on two separate Halls of Residence, male and female. The male hall of residence is however of two branches with one located deep in the town, Hayin-Gada Street to be precise while the other one is located in Darawa, a village close to the school take-off campus along Katsina road. Likewise the Female hall of residence, there are also two branches. The first one is located at Isa Keita College of Education while the other branch is located right inside the school take-off campus. The male hall of residence located in Hayin-Gada is mainly for 100L level students- fresh students while the other one located in Darawa , for 400L and 500L- final year students only. The Female halls of residence are believed not split into categories like the male hall.

However, in these halls of residence, there are basic Dos and Don’ts put in place to checkmate or regulate certain activities of the student occupants, especially the new students coming in to take abode in these halls. This article intends to look at some of those basic principles put in place so as to help equip new students with the foreknowledge of things obtainable in the halls. It will also serve as guide to achieving a successful stay in any of the halls.

The first of these basic Dos and Don’ts is the use of gas cylinder. In the school halls of residence, the use of gas cylinder is completely prohibited, and any student caught with it risks ejection from the hall and also stands the chance to face further punishment from the school authority.

Secondly, the use some electrical appliances such as hot plate and water heater, etc,… This is not tolerated at all, and any student caught using any of the above mentioned appliances wrongly, particular with generator when put on at night stands the chance of losing it.

Also in the halls of residence, as a student occupant, you are not permitted to fight against anybody. Peradventure you are offended by anybody, it is advisable you visit the residential officers and a make formal report of whatever be the problem to them for proper handling. But going on to fight without this step taken, you stand the chance of forfeiting your space in the hall of residence and you could be further punished.

Another thing that must not be tried by students occupying these halls of residence is stealing. Stealing is the worst act a student must not be caught in here because it has zero mercy. It is better not tried at all because of the dangers that follow. In this case, such student will not only be suspended from the hall of residence but could as well risk rustication.

Furthermore, partying, defacing of room walls, secret association, inviting opposite sex to the hall of residence without formal permission, fighting with the officers in charge of the residence, destroying school properties, waging of bed space and messing up the vicinities, all attract severe punishment from the school authority.

Moreover, students are to report to their respective hall keepers or officers any suspicious movement or strange face found around. Also, they are to report any electrical issues to the officers in charge of the hall for fixing and not to be attempted by self. Make a report of any poor welfareism such as low water supply and first aid system.

Finally, as distinguished students of this noble institution, and who wish to have a wonderful stay in any of the halls of residence, it is of utmost priority that you must comply and adhere strictly to these set rules.

Note: this is not an all encompassing write up, recommending all the rules guiding the use of these halls of residence but a sketch of some basic Dos and Don’ts that the new incoming students must be aware of.

Serving the Lord

It pays to serve God. For every born again and Jesus has become Lord over our lives, what do you do for him.

How for you serve God is going to church? what we mean by service?

Serving God in our spirit- through the word of God, faith, through worship. You can not serve God with your spirit without your body.

God rewards you for your faithfulness not for your responsibility or the weight for it. And you passionate and sincere about what you want to do for God. Examine your life as an individual and find out how you respond.

What specifically do you do for the Lord? and how do you do what you do?

Follow God’s example of diligently doing his father’s business. Not up today and down tomorrow. But up and burning for live. Your fire ought always to be on. When you are inactive in the things of God it affects your growth.

Anything you do in the house of God opens doors of blessings for you. It’s not my church or your church, it’s the house of God. You don’t need anyone to say thank you because you should do it as unto to Lord. You may do all such things and no body ever says thank you, it’s a work for you, it’s for God.

Don’t be a lukewarm Christian who is neither hot nor cold. God’s children should always have a desire to do the things of God, never tired, but ever ready. Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do work heartily as for the Lord, not for men.

Serving God brings to you opportunity for greatness, and it promoted you as God begins to remind them of you. Do things of Value to the Lord.
Ephesians 6:7 Hebrew 12:28, Mark 10:43.

1 Sam 17:14

You are not rewarded for your position but for your faithfulness. Are you faithful or you blame people for your mistakes?

Wisdom is the ability to walk in discretion and consistency is that ability to make a decision follow on through, is as good as the one who didn’t know enough to make the decision 2 Timothy 2:20.

Have you been faithful to your call. Have you been faithful with the little he bestowed upon you.
