Jesus is the sweetest name i know. He's always by my side, i praise his Holy name. That is the reason why i love him so much, Jesus is the sweetest name i know.

I will enter his gate with thanksgiving in my heart, i will enter his court with praise, i will say this is the day that the Lord has made, i Will rejoice for he has made me glad. He has made me glad, i am so glad, i will rejoice for he has made me glad.

What can i say unto the lord? all i have to say is thank you

Growing Up In Nigeria

Nigeria is God's own Country. It is a country wonderfully and fearfully made. A country full of respect, training and discipline. Comparing Nigeria to other countries in terms of giving respect to whom it is due, it is awarded 100% score. A younger fellow dares not respect an elderly person no matter the tribe they are from.For example, when greeting, it is beyond handshaking and saying hello, he or she has to greet prostrating. For instance a girl must knee down and a boy must lie down showing the respect. It baffles me in this other part of the world that i am when i see young people disrespecting their elders especially the real grown up like grandparents being called by their names. There are many other beautiful things happening over there that are really interesting such as Christmas celebration, birthday ceremony, wedding ceremony, kinds of dishes prepared just to mention a few. I will like to emphasize on the WEDDING CEREMONY in Nigeria. It is a big celebration where a man and a woman are being joined together in Holy matrimony. A celebration which proves the mathematicians wrong, where 1+1 is still 1. It is celebrated in the traditional way whereby the rites are being performed and where the dowry is paid. Families of the bride and the groom come together sitting opposite each other. The bridegroom brings load of things like 50 pieces of yam, kegs of palm oil, bags of rice, crates of minerals, a she goat, boxes of new clothes, cakes, engagement ring to mention a few and some envelopes of money address to meet different needs, and most importantly, the dowry(the money paid to the bride's parent for taking away their daughter.The bride is meant to knee down and relate to her husband's families. She is being prayed for before pouring palm wine on the floor and the traditional rite done on it.It is a very big and interesting ceremony.It is usually done on Fridays and the next day which is Saturday they now go to to church for the blessing by the elders.

If I Should

If i should meet an adult without blame, could i be the same?And if could see love working out, would i be in any doubt?If i should by chance speak my heart's desire, could my voice begin to tire?All these questions do i perceive, or in any of these do i believe?

Questions, questions inside my head had never been done or never been said. Makes me worry and makes me frown. I don't if i am feeling up or down. Slowly, breathe in and out. I hope I don't let myself scream or shout.

But if i should see war turn to peace, would i shout for my release? And if i die in dread disgrace, could i meet death and look him in the face? If i could perchance sing in a pleasant tone, i would sing like a rolling stone? All these questions buzzing in my brain, am i really safe and sane?

Questions, questions inside my head had never been done or never been said.Makes me worry and makes me frown. I don't know if i am feeling up or down. Slowly, breathe in and out. IDon't let myself scream or shout.

A Gift of Words

A Gift of Words (Words of Wisdom)

In the evening think of these words, the flow of the stream of life is the path that we take and the course of the choice is the destination of our hearts and minds.

Do we corrupt the clarity of the vision, when in corruption we delve or we do we find only clarity by centring our minds on the energy inside and out?

For what do we put ourselves in mortal peril in mind and body, when overindulding in anything brings ue tremendous grief.

And in love does our heart perish when rejection flounders us on the rocks of loathing ourselves or the departed loved one.

Or in mortal dread do we look at twilight and see the loneliness that night can bring to the ones that had comfort with another besides oneself.

Think of this life as a gift and a joy to be alive with life's magic to delight our eyes in so many ways in nature andwhatever spirituality we choose.

When old do your best to keep the fragnance of youth and try to enjoy life's and love's seasons.

Youth don't go the way of sorrow for in dark thougths will the sorrow fester and destroy. But be thankful of the beauty that can be found in any kind of being or environment.

As said, be yourself for it is foolish to live foranyone else.

HOW VISION CAN SPEAK

Vision can speak through educating oneself, the kind of people we surround ourselves with, and most importantly building a strong relationship with God.

Education-Often times we struggle with new challenges because we lack confidence, also feeling that we have inadequate ability,training or experience. We should never allow these points to weigh us down. All we need to do is inquire of the Lord the step He wants us to take,pertaining to our physical life and what can better our life.

Relationship with people-People that we surround our self with can be vision killers or vision accomplishes. The critics and our friends can make our vision and purpose in God to be delayed, when we are pregnant of dream and vision, the vision was only revealed to us, we cannot blame our friends, if they don;t support our vision, it was only for us. We need to surround our self with people that will share in our dream and vision, people that will add flavour to our dream, add value, manifestation and support our dreams. Don;t associate yourself with people that tolerate and envy you.

Relationship with God-To build a strong relationship with God is not an optional but it;s a must, if you want to get to your vision. God is the owner of the universe and in His wisdom He created all things. While you are your mother's womb He knows you. God knew you long before you were born or even conceived, He thought about you and has planned for you, when you feel discouraged, and incompetent, rejected and inadequate, remember you are valuable and He has purpose for you.You are created for a specific task.

Three reasons why you need jesus
Jesus loves you.He desires to have a relationship with you,and to give you a life full of joy and purpose.Why do you need Him in your life?
1 Because you have a past
You can't go back,but He can.The Bible says,Jesus Christ the same yesterday,and today and for ever.He can walk into those places of sin and failure, wipe the slate clean and give you a new beginning.
2 Because you need a friend
Jesus knows the worst about you, yet He believes the best.Why? Because He sees you not as you are, but as you will be when He gets through with you. What a friend.
3 Because He holds the future
Who else are you going to trust? In His hands you are safe and secure -today, tomorrow, and for eternity. His word says, For i know the plans i have for you...plan for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
God loves you brethren.
