WORD FOR TODAY

LOVE PART 1

One of the most beautiful thing that God gave man is Love. Some of us will agree, some may decline. But Understanding Love in a different realm will truly show you the beauty of Love. 
I have and I am experiencing a wholeness of Love from him that brings so much Joy  this morning, Not because he loves me more or Loves me less but that his Love abounds in all that surrounds me. He loves me, he has given me amazing friends who are there when i need them, he has given sufficient needs to homes,he has given true love to friends who are finally heading to the alter, he has given beautiful careers and academics to friends and he has given me love. This is the Love I see.
love is not about all the haves and the haves not, it is the Joy of sharing in the happiness of others , it is letting your friend or brother's happiness be important to you. Love is not about yourself is about the next person putting a smile on faces
Love is Sacrificial, sacrifice that the other may never understand Just like the Almighty sacrificed his son which the world is yet to understand.
Love is an image of the Almighty. Everyman should posses Love in their heart to brighten each day like the morning sun. Love gives courage. When you have love in you, True love will find you.

God is Love, Love is God.

I love you all, Have a Fine Weekend

UK COLUMNIST RAISES CONTROVERSY ABOUT GOD AND EBOLA

Michelle Hanson, a UK Guardian columnist wrote this article, she tried to question the existence of God on why God could save two Americans from Ebola and leave another 1,200 Africans die of the same Ebola virus. The writer, said she gave up on God many years ago. Read the article below...

"Lucky Dr Kent Brantly, the American doctor who has recovered from Ebola, having been given a dose of the experimental antibody serum Zmapp, whizzed home to the US, and given another dose. He is now thanking God for saving his life. Through the medical team and drugs, he admits, but ultimately, it seems, God was in charge. And he chose Brantly, not the other 1,200 mainly west African people who have died horribly, which seems a bit picky." Continue...

WORD FOR TODAY

The season of failure is the best time for sowing seeds of success. Paramahansa Yogananda.
When i read this quote all i imagined was the flowers above(pictured above) dying out. All the things I thought were good suddenly dies out and i have to start all over again, it is totally a devastating state of mind.

In life, a season of failure must come marital failure, financial failure,etc that is certain, if we stay stuck in failure is our choice. It is very possible to rise above failure, if you can retract your step and find out what went wrong.
It is okay to cry, feel angry and devastated when things go wrong but we cannot wallow in them and suppress ourselves to depression, we need to get back on our feet and make it right.
I believe everything is for a reason, see a season of failure as a time for the Almighty to manifest in those challenges, it is a season for His Glory to shine Through You. He is always with us(Emmanuel) even in our seasons of failure but we must believe, and not give up, pray and work hard. It may take months, years or days for your success season to arrive but it will surely come if you believe and surrender it all.
When a plants die out what does a farmer do, he clears his land of the dead crops and weeds, and tills the land afresh to begin a new planting season.

The plants are dead, lets us prepare for another planting season. May God bless our Lands to bring forth good fruit.

I leave you with Proverbs 3:5-7

NEW MAP FOR NIGERIA AS PROPOSED BY CONFAB

The National Confab in July made recommendations for the Nigerian states which was 36 to be increased to 54 by adding 18 more states to the Nation. Above is a copy of  the would be Nigerian map if the states are created.

The new states proposed by the conference are: Aba, to be carved out of the present Abia State; Katagum, from Bauchi State; Ijebu, from Ogun State; Amana, from former Sardauna Province; Apa, from Benue State; Anioma, from Delta State, Savannah, from Borno State; and Etiti, from South-East.

Njaba/Anim, from Anambra and Imo states; Gurara, from Kaduna State; Ghari, from Kano State; Adada from Enugu State, New Oyo from Oyo State; Orachi, from Rivers State; Ogoja, from Cross River State; and Kainji, from Kebbi and Niger states Ose state from Edo, Edu from Niger.

The Closing ceremony will take place tomorrow 21st August.

As a country with only 36 states we have so much trouble with tribalism and disagreements with regions and borders even with those in the same zone. Is the creation of these new 18 states, expected to bind us or separate? I believe the confab were sleeping when they passed this as a recommendation. Having said this it is still up to us to decide.

Nigerians do you want more States?

AN IGBO MAN AS DEPUTY GOVERNOR IN LAGOS 2015 ELECTION- SAYS IGBO UNITED INITIATIVE

Few Months to the 2015 general elections, more people are calling for the Igbos to produce at least the Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

According to an interview conducted by The Daily Sun, the latest call is coming from the Igbo United Initiative (IUI), a renown pressure group in the state.
In the interview, the chieftain of the IUI, Chief Amobi Nnadiekwe, said that people from the South-East zone in Lagos will vote for any political party that fields an Igbo as deputy governor.
Nnadiekwe, who doubles as the Chairman of Win Peace Investment Ltd, claims that the Igbo constitute 43 per cent of the population in Lagos.

Below are excerpts from the interview:

Your group has been sensitizing the people of South-East to vote any political party that fields an Igbo as deputy governor of Lagos in 2015. So far, what has been the response?
The response was wonderful. We plan to visit town unions and markets in Lagos State especially, the ones dominated by Igbo. It is time to be part of the political process in the state where Igbo contribute over 52 per cent to the state’s economy. Of course, you know that South-East constitutes 43 per cent of the state population. To that extent, we deserve the position of deputy governor. With the number of Ndigbo in Lagos, no doubt, if collectively we decide to vote for any party in Lagos, the party must win. Lagos State has continued to marginalize us politically, hence, Igbos have decided to demand for their right. We have written to all the political parties in the state, informing them of our resolve to vote any party that fields an Igbo as deputy governor. CONTINUE....

MEET THE WOMAN WITH 14INCH NAILS, LARUE DRUMMOND

Larue Drummond, 54-year-old mother of four, used to be a chronic nail biter as a child, biting her nails to her cuticles until they bled. But according to Larue all that changed when she met a woman at the super market with long nails, who told her, 'when you look after your nails, they will look after you.'

She stopped biting her nails and began to grow them long. Eight years ago, the big fan of nail art decided to stop cutting her nails entirely and has spent not less than $10,000 since then to maintain them.

Some people are very curious about how Ms Drummond manages everyday tasks with her 14-inch talon and she insists she cooks and does other everyday tasks easily. She said:

‘People stop me wherever I go and ask about my nails. I'm always happy to talk about them.
‘The most frequently asked question is how do I go to the bathroom. I tell them, “the same way as you do. If you know of another way, let me know.”’

But not everyone is comfortable with her unique look. Ms Drummond says;
‘I've seen people snigger at my nails. Once a woman wouldn't even sit next to me as if I had a disease or something. It really hurt my feelings. But it's who I am so I am not ashamed. If I broke a nail that couldn't be fixed I’d feel bereaved. My nails are my babies.’
Ms Drummond, who has eight grandchildren, insists that her long talons don’t impact on her part-time job as a child-minder, insiting; Continue below

WORD FOR TODAY

Gratitude Part 1

Gratitude for Life, Thankful for each day. Are you wondering what you should be grateful for?

When i woke this morning, like every other morning, i was undoubtedly happy. Happy for so much love within and around me from my creator and i knelt down with my hands clasped together, i thanked him for a brand new day to experience his undying love, for the morning sunshine that peeked through my window.

It is important that we are grateful for all we have, because life is not of our own making but the Almighty. Like an Igbo saying goes, Anyi kene dike na nke omere ome kwa ozo which translates as "if we thank him for the things he does for us he ll do more".

Thanking him always at all times whether the weather be good or whether the weather be bad. As we learn to be grateful, it should not be an act but an attitude. Gratitude is an attitude of noble souls.

Let also be thankful to fellow men when they shew us with kindness. Gratitude dissolves chaos, creates love, brings peace and gives you much more than you can imagine.

So lovelies, be grateful to God for his our maker, be grateful to man for the Kindness he shows you.

Start being grateful to someone today, you may just find something Good.

I leave you with the words of John Wooden "Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books-especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance"

EBOLA: ZMAPP, EBOLA EXPERIMENTAL DRUG TO BE GIVEN TO LIBERIA

The White house has decided to release the ZMapp experimental drug for Ebola to Liberia. The White House and Food and Drug Administration approved the Liberian request for the drug to be made available to them.
The government of Liberia says that sample doses of the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp will be sent there to treat doctors who have contracted the deadly virus.

Liberia identified itself as the recipient of the drug after the company that makes ZMapp said earlier that its supply was exhausted after fulfilling the request of a West African country, which it did not name.

The delivery of the ZMapp to Liberia follows a request made on Friday from Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to President Barack Obama.

The sample doses will be brought to Liberia by a U.S. government representative this week, the Liberian government said

EBOLA VIRUS: NIGERIANS QUARANTINED IN CANADA AND HONG KONG AFTER SHOWING SYMPTOMS

West-African countries are on the radar of every foreign country they go to, whether sick or healthy.
A patient with flu-like symptoms who recently visited Nigeria was put into isolation at an Ontario hospital but later tested negative for the deadly Ebola virus.

The man had complained of fever, headache, muscle pain and malaise and was held in isolation at Brampton Civic Hospital which instituted heightened infection-control procedures after the patient was admitted.

Ontario's Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, Eric Hoskins confirmed that the man, who recently travelled to Canada from Nigeria, is now "doing well" and anticipated to have a "full and speedy recovery."

Hoskins said in a release, posted to the Ontario ministry's website:

"I can now confirm a recent case that underwent testing at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg was found to test negative for Ebola virus disease."
Meanwhile another Nigerian man was also quarantined in Hong Kong after he showed Ebola-like symptoms during a trip to the city. The man who arrived Hong Kong from Lagos on Thursday August 7th via Dubai, was isolated in a hospital after severe vomiting and suffering from diarrhoea. He later tested negative for Ebola.

In a statement released today, the Southern Chinese city government said the 32 year old man, whose name was not given, had "tested negative for Ebola virus upon preliminary laboratory testing".

"In the past one month ... he had no contact history with sick persons or animals and did not visit health-are facilities. He is currently in stable condition."
Two weeks ago, the Hong Kong government said it would quarantine as a precaution all people from Ebola-infected areas who showed any symptom of the disease.

EBOLA: CATHOLIC AND ANGLICAN CHURCHES SUSPENDS 'SIGN OF PEACE'

As the deadly Ebola Virus spreads, the orthodox churches are cutting out some of their old traditions during church services to avoid the spread of the disease among members.
The Nigeria Catholic churches in Lagos have suspended the 'sign of peace' where the congregations shake hands during mass. While the Anglican churches have suspended 'sign of peace' handshakes during communion due to the spread of Ebola.

The Archbishop of Lagos Adewale Martins released a statement on Sunday saying that while the handshakes have been suspended, Catholic priests should continue the traditional hand to mouth method of given Holy Communion for now, but asked the priest to make sure their hands don't touch the tongues of the recipient. He also said Holy Water bowls usually placed at the entrance of churches should be discontinued to contain the spread of the virus.

In the same vein, the Primate of the Church Of Nigeria Anglican Communion the Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh suspended shaking of hands during the exchange of the peace. He also suspended the age long mouth method of administering communion. He said this is aimed at preventing the spread of the disease through physical contact.
