On 31st December, 2019, you are likely to experience the home coming of all who regarded church as nothing throughout the year coming to the church premises all in the name of Cross Over Service. But just to ask, cant they just cross over Whatever they want to cross without going to the church? Or there is something that pushes them to be there. That is just by the way. 

At a critical point of the day like this, you hear a whole lot of people saying, I am going to put down my new year plans and goals. But my question is, you reading this article, did you set some target or objectives to achieve in 2019? Well, how many were you able to achieve and how many were you not able to? Are you going to abandon those you couldn't achieve and set new ones? Are there possibilities of achieving the ones you couldn't achieve? 

After answering all this rhetorical questions, you have to set some goals or objectives for the new year. Remember, the new year is the beginning of a century on its own. Trash out all you couldn't achieve. Leave behind the failures, never let them hold you back. Work at achieving what you were not able to achieve this year and dwell on what to achieve this year. 

Did you fail in your exams? Don't give up, rewrite. 
Were you turn down at the job selection? It's not over, apply somewhere else. 
Did you relationship backfired? Worry not, more beautiful ladies and handsome men are in town. 
Did you fail in some aspect of your Christian life? Amend and come back to Christ. 
Were you able to achieve All your dreams? 


It's not just about taking pen and diary at the end of every year and writing down goals and plans. You have to work at attaining them. You can't plug a mango whiles lying on your bed. Move out, go and Make impact and make a difference in the world. You are not a failure neither are you are mistake, you are a wonder. 


Sit down, access yourself from the beginning of the year to the end, what went wrong, what can you do about it. New year comes with its own challenges, you can't carry 2019 load to 2020, that will be a double load. Leave all the trash and pains, agony behind and press on. 


Reflect on your life and plan on how to live your life in the subsequent years.


Enjoy the new year.....

THE PASTOR WHO TAUGHT PRAYER TO THE MARRIED

Image
Bukari and his wife don't sit next to each other during Church services. Even when going to Church services, they go in different vehicles; and when they travel in the same car, it is usually a very quiet and uncomfortable ride. Bukari sat at his usual spot in the Church service; the fourth line on the far left row. His wife sat on the center row. The Pastor took to the podium. "Husbands, stop wasting your time praying" the Pastor began. The congregants got alarmed. No one expects to hear a pastor saying prayer is a waste of time. "I am not here to discourage you to pray. I am here to encourage you to pray right. Husbands, stop wasting your time praying if you are not treating your wife well. The Word says that when you treat your wife badly, it hinders your prayers. Men, you claim to be prayerful. You come to church driving your expensive cars, giving your offertory and tithes, active in Church, some of you are Church leaders; but how are you treating your wife?   ...

HUSBAND SCARCITY!!!

Written by Maryam Habu shinga This may not be the best time for me to write on this because of misinterpretations, but I can no longer resist the push. "Husband Scarcity" has become one of the challenges faced by many young girls today. If you go to prayer houses, majority of the intentions are prayer for a life partner. And this calls for concern. Casting our minds back to the time of our mothers and grandmothers, was there really much of a "Husband Scarcity" problem? Or, maybe there were more men than women then, or there was an adequate corresponding numbers of both genders. I don't think so. Maybe then, the women had values and were prepared to build a home and not park into a built home. Then, once a young man comes of age and can at least feed himself and his wife, he goes out in search of a wife and the woman really appreciates him and helps him to build a future. What am I really trying to say? We created what we now see as "Husband Scarcity" ...
