Forget me not

-

Do you remember those desolate days

When you ran away and forsook My ways

Remember how I stooped down low

Pursued you, reached out to you and lifted you.

 

Can you recount the fountains of celebration cheers

When you finally overcame and shed happy tears

Your voice cheering louder than the crowd

And when others cheers grew dim, mine remained loud.

 

When you commemorate cold hours of weakness

When the weight of your burdens bore you down

Remember how My fire of love kept blazing strength into you

And empowered you to stand a Victor!

 

When you recollect  the achievement medals you won

Each holding memories of trials you conquered

Remember how I stood by you, guiding and teaching you

And congratulated your every achievement with a greater reward.

 

As you reminisce on these, forget Me not,

I will always remember you!

I will not leave you alone.

Love me, I am Jesus!

Cardiac Arrests On the Rise During COVID-19

-
The stress  placed on the heart by COVID-19, a hesitancy by people to call 911, and even reluctance on the part of bystanders to perform CPR may be boosting rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a new report finds. Source: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200430/cardiac-arrests-on-the-rise-during-covid-19-crisis#1 The data comes from four provinces in northern Italy, a region that was hit very hard and very early by the  coronavirus   pandemic . The researchers said that between Feb. 21 and March 31, 2020, there was a 58% jump in the number of cardiac arrests that occurred before victims could get to the hospital, compared to the same time frame last year. In more than three-quarters of the cases, COVID-19 was diagnosed in the affected patients, said a team led by Dr Enrico Baldi, of the University of Pavia. His team reported their findings online April 29 in the  New England Journal of Medicine . Why the spike? People may be waiting longer to reach out to emerge...

LIVING WITH PEOPLE

-
Image
1. Living with others can be tough but living alone is worst. 2. Learn to study people from a distance. Always trust your instinct when u meet someone, don't ever ignore that caution. If you ignore be ready to face whatever happens afterwards. 3. You need to learn the act of forgiveness to live together with people. You can't be an unforgiving Christian. 4. Just because things don't work out your own way; doesn't mean you are under a spiritual attack. It may be you are raising up something that God wants to kill. 5. Anytime you get into a new era you have to humble yourself. 6. The uniqueness of the complications in your life is the clues that unfold the destiny of your future. 7. What you think is a battle is a training exercise. Each round should take you to the next dimension. 8. You need to get out and live a Christian life, by understanding people's problem and not being a hypocrite. 9. If a person is truly born again it...

FOR EVERY COUPLE

-
Image
My oldest daughter, Jenna, recently said to  me , “My greatest fear as a child was that you and mom would get divorced. Then, when I was 12, I decided that you fought so much that maybe it would be better if you did.” Then she added with a smile. “I’m glad you guys figured things out.” For years, my wife, Keri, and I struggled. Looking back, I’m not exactly sure what initially drew us together, but our personalities didn’t quite match up. And the longer we were married the more extreme the differences seemed. Encountering “fame and fortune” didn’t make our marriage any easier. In fact, it exacerbated our problems. The tension between us got so bad that going out on book tour became a relief, though it seems we always paid for it on re-entry. Our fighting became so constant that it was difficult to even imagine a peaceful relationship. We became perpetually defensive, building emotional fortresses around our hearts. We were on the edge of divorce and more than once w...

I cant leave!!

I can't leave him, I love till death! I am a loving woman. I am a caring man. What of my children! How about their future! How will they survive? Most individuals both men and women remain in abusive relationships and keep quiet. They are afraid of how the world will view their partners; so they keep covering up their partner's track, giving excuses for their actions instead of crying out for intervention or help.... they die daily eventually leading to depression. Depression is not sudden; it is a gradual process. It is a sickness that kills within a short while and sometimes gradually. Depression is one that drains your strength, zeal, joy, happiness and excitement daily. You need to decide to voice out, talk to someone, go for counselling, resign from that job if it causes more pain than gain. You go out of your way to please a person yet he still hurts you with his/her words, hands, actions, psychologically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or physic...

Satisfaction

-
Are u satisfied with the state of your life today? How is your relationship with your family, friends and colleagues? Are you happy with your job (for those who have one)? Are you happy with your career choices or did you make a mistake with your choice? Do you love your job or do you just go there for survival? Are you emotionally abused and don’t know how to get out of it? Do you have a friend to share your hurts and pains with? Are you going through stress it's affecting your health?  Some lack true friends, they have friends that are only available to hang out especially after payday and when you need them for assistance or  a shoulder to cry on. ; they are nowhere to be found. Some even go to the extent of taking a loan for a friend, but the shock comes when they are not willing to pay back. 'Bad debt’. Do you wonder why some people are less qualified for a position yet they are your boss? Or sometimes you feel after getting all those degrees you st...

You are a product of what you eat

-
Image
“You are what you eat”, this phrase has caused me to watch whatever I eat.  I was introduced to this phrase at quite a young age and then having this wild imagination that if I ate an apple I would become one in a few years’ time. This theory of my imagination did not last long as I later found I never became what I ate.  Now I understand that it was meant as a warning to choose carefully whatever I put into my mouth. The very things we take in become part of our body. From the food, we eat we gain certain nutrients that helps our body to function well. It enters through the mouth where it is masticated then it is propelled to a gastric and intestinal phase where the nutrients are subtracted and the waste excreted.  So as it is in the physical so it is in the spiritual. When we read the word of God it is as though we enter the first phase of digestion, mastication. We partially break down the word of God, but our spiritual body does not receive its n...

Black lives matter

The lion bit into another prey Leaving wounds that won't heal Memories that refuse to go away It took more than it could steal   The lion's clutches bore into the prey that was once whole Piercing deep into a fragile prey Breaking down the defence that was once there Its very presence is a sadness to behold!   The lion's weight fell upon the prey Bringing low everything that was once alive Struggling or fighting back didn’t help No one could help for fear of their own lives   Bitterness grew in the eyes of all that saw Hatred grew stronger though not aimed at him Blaming the system for trusting Still, though it all, the prey survived   Oblivious to the lion was the identity of the prey Living inside of the prey was the same identity as the lion The prey was his cub though unarmed Though dead yet alive in all   The lion meant to kill and silence But the noise it brought will never be quenched God's sovereignty is real and He will keep us alive Our lives matter to...
