I am a disciplinarian
I take no nonsense
But Christ taught us discipline
And takes no nonsense;

I am a disciplinarian
I hate disobedience
But Christ taught us discipline
And hates disobedience;

I am a disciplinarian
I don't listen to explanations
But Christ taught us discipline
And gives room for corrections;

I made you what you are
And you must lick my feet
But Christ made us all
And yet washed our feet;

I made you what you are
And you must dance to my tune
But Christ made us all
And left us without rune;

I made you what you are
You must tremble when I call
But Christ made us all
Only before him we must tremble and fall;

O' ye man made from dust
Take stock of your limited
And miserable life of lust
See then, where actually thou seated;

From darkness
You were bought
Why remain dark in righteousness
Knowing, into light you were brought?;

Thy lips find it easy
As thy lying tongue it houses
Thy maker thou has left pissed
Before Him, you are one of the louses;

Shed now, the stroghold on you
It's slowly decaying your soul from within
Remember when the devil dined with you
How miserable your life grew from deep within

7 THINGS TO CARRY LIKE A CRATE OF EGGS

There are things we must carry and handle with extra- carefulness because these things are fragile and once broken, it is not easy to put back together and once some of these things get broken, they can lead to huge damage and destiny wastage.

1. Your Name:

Your name is very important and fragile. There are names that stinks in the ears of people simply because, those who bear those names spoilt the name. The way to handle your name with carefulness​ is to be careful of your doings. Your actions can rubbish your name. A good name can open doors for you & for your children and generations after you.

Carry your name with carefulness. It is a huge asset. Here is one of the quotes written by Shakespeare:

'Whoever steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name, my enviable reputation
Robs me of that which does not enrich him, But makes me poor indeed'.

2: Your heart:

Many hearts are broken, shattered, wounded and bitter today. One of the factors responsible for this is becoz many of these hearts' owners were careless with their hearts. You can guard your heart from being broken and bitter. Run away from people, and things that are bent on breaking your heart. Carry your heart like a crate of eggs. You need a whole heart before you can be said to be fully whole!


3: Your purpose:

Your purpose is your destiny. If you don't handle it with utmost carefulness, it can slip off your hands and gaze and get broken. So many things can come like pressure on this crate of egg of purpose. Discouragement, lack of fund, anxieties, etc. These are things that may want to come like pressure on your purpose to break it. Don't allow them! Carry it with care. Carry your purpose away from people and things that may want to put pressure on it and break it.

4: Your health:

You have only this body as a vehicle that will carry you through your journey of destiny in this life. Handle your health with carefulness. No matter how big your vision is, once you are dead, nobody can really run the vision like you! Fight for your health. Avoid things that can destroy your health. Wealth is useless when your health becomes useless. Don't kill yourself before your time. Do your best to stay alive. WE STILL NEED YOU HERE ON EARTH. Don't use your FORK, KNIFE, GLASS and your SPOON to dig your grave. Watch what you EAT and DRINK. Don't eat anything bcoz it is edible and don't drink anything bcoz it is appetizing. Always pray for divine immunization against sickness and diseases.

5: Your Marriage:

SO MANY PEOPLE HANDLE THEIR MARRIAGE LIKE A CARTON OF INDOMIE NODDLE. Your marriage is fragile. Handle it like a crate of egg. It must not break! A broken marriage is not easily put back together, because, when a marriage breaks, many things get broken with it. Husband and wife must always carry their marriage like an egg. It must not break!

6: Your words:

Your worth is attached to your words. Be careful with words. Once broken, you can't gather them up again. Many people are careless with their words. They speak violently. They make empty promises and break them. Some say things they later wish they never said. Guard your words. Be careful with your diction.

7: Your eternity:

Those who are running up and down to fulfill destiny here on Earth without thinking of their eternity do not belong here! The matter of eternity is not something you should handle with levity. Think about where you will spend eternity. You will die one day. I will also die one day. All that we are and have in this world are vanity upon vanity.

Take the matter of your end very serious. Stop living carelessly as if you have extra life. Don't live for the pleasure of this world. Have the hereafter in mind in all that you do.

Your Kidney Deserves the Best Care

Your Kidney Deserves the Best Care

The rate at which young people are suffering from Kidney disease is alarming. We recently lost a dear brother to this condition. I am sharing a post which can help us. Please read below:

IMPORTANT: The kidney deserves the best care

Barely two (2) days ago, we all received the news of the demise of a Nigerian actor as a result of kidney disease. Also our Minister for Public Works, the Honorable Teko Lake is currently in the Hospital on life support with Kidney problems. I want to show you how to avert this menace of kidney disease.

SO HERE ARE THE TOP 6 CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASE


1. Delaying going to a toilet Keeping your urine in your bladder for
too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage.
The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly.
Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic
substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract
infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls
– do it as soon as possible.

2. Eating too much salt,You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of
salt daily.

3. Eating too much meat. Too much protein in your diet is harmful
for your kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin
that is very destructive to your kidneys. More meat equals more
kidney damage.

4. Drinking too much caffeine Caffeine is a component of many
sodas and soft drinks. It raises your blood pressure and your
kidneys start suffering. So you should cut down the amount of
coke you drink daily.

5. Not drinking water. Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to
perform their functions well. If we don’t drink enough, the toxins
can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to
drain them through the kidneys. Drink more than 10 glasses of
water daily. There is an easy way to check if you are drinking
enough water: look at the colour of your urine; the lighter the
colour, the better.

6. Late treatment . Treat all your health problems properly and
have your health checked regularly. Let's help ourselves. God will
protect you and your family from every disease this year.

*What can you do for your kidneys?*

1. Keep fit and active.
2. Keep regular control of your blood sugar level.
3. Monitor your blood pressure.
4. Eat healthy and keep your weight in check.
5. Maintain a healthy fluid intake.
6. Do not smoke.
7. Do not take over-the-counter pills on a regular basis.

Avoid these Tablets, they are very dangerous:

D-cold
Vicks Action-500
Actified
Coldarin
Cosome
Nice
Nimulid
Cetrizet-D
They contain Phenyl Propanol-Amide PPA. Which causes Strokes & Are banned in the USA.

Diligence in Business

A look at the bible shows that God himself is a diligent business person (Gen. 1:1-31). This means that diligence is needed to succeed in anything worth doing at all.

Proverbs 22:29 says, ‘Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.’ Understanding the key words in this scripture will give us a better understanding of God's mind concerning our succeeding in business.

Diligence
Diligence means to show care and effort in your work or duties. The care you show will make you give your very best to achieve desired results.

Business
This can mean anything that is a sort of responsibility for a person- a trade, an event, an assignment etc. Whatever it is that you find to do is a form of business. The size does not matter.


Kings
From the business sense, ‘kings’ refers to customers/clients. Economists all over the world agree on this- the customer is the king of the market place. ‘Sam Walton’ says, ‘There is only one boss, and whether a person shines shoes for a a living or heads up the biggest corporation in the world, the boss remains the same. It is the customer!...’ Everything we do to build our business is because we want to please the customer. In your business, no matter how small, you must do everything to satisfy your customers.

Mean Men
This phrase, as used in the bible, means Unknown men. A businessman who only stands before unknown men will end up with a zero balance sheet at the end of the day.

Diligence in business means...

1. Committing your life to your job as an employee, and execute your responsibilities with joy. Desire and pray for the success of your organisation. Learn in order to be better at what you do.

2. Remembering that doing well as an employee will bring you opprtunity of starting your own business. As a self-employed, commit your allto your business, and be ready to always exceed customers’ expectations. Treat your customers/clients as kings.

3. As a business owner treat your employees as equals- this will make them do more than they are paid for.

4. Putting honesty as your watchword in the business you do.

5. Going the extra mile. The difference between a failure and a success is the extra mile!
