I am sure you are convinced that what a man can do, a woman can do better but not everything that a man do that a woman can do. But it won't happen without you making up your mind to become the best you can. SUCCESS COMES WITH A PRICE TAG AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT READY TO PAY THE PRICE CAN'T ENJOY THE RISE. Success is not automatic and failure is not also but your input will determine your output. All the people you have seen at the top of the ladder of success perspire to acquire their desire which they admire, and never retire but re-fire until they become the best. The moment you stop to aspire, you begin to expire. Let us see some of these proven principles of success: 1. HAVE A CLEAR VISION: You must have a clear picture of what you want to become in the future because the future really begins now. If you don't know where you are going early life, you will grow up to discover that you have traveled far from your original purpose. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BECOME IN THE FUTURE? Mother Teresa decided to become a Nun at the age of 12. How old are you?. 2. DILIGENCE: No matter how great your future is, without diligence, you can't become anything good. Without diligence dreams becomes daydreams or wishful thinking. "No one can predict to what heights you can soar; even you will not know until you spread your wings and begin to fly". Give diligence to destiny. 3. DETERMINATION: Success usually will not happen at the first trial, determination is the quality of being firmly committed to a defined goal with a clear course of action to reach the goal at all cost. Determination entails staying put with what you desire until you get it. Even when you fail, determination will give you the courage to keep going. 4. RIGHT ASSOCIATION: Who are you friends? If they are those who do what people are meant to do, I can say you have no future. Look for the best in your area and class yourself around such. Many people have been wrongly punished because of wrong friends. There is no price too much to pay to join the league of the wise. Go for the good heads. Friendship is not by force but by choice, friendship is not for socialization but for actualization. 5. FOCUS AND PERSEVERANCE: Life is not a bed of roses. Difficulties will come, discrimination, failures, sickness, dispute, defamation, disappointment and death of loved ones etc may come your way. Don't lose your focus but persevere until you reach your goal. If you will not give up, you can reach the top. 6. EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT: You have a great enemy and that is time. All the time you are using to gist, visit your friends and watch movies must be used wisely. All what you do, you must be time caution. Life is too precious and you can't afford to waste your time. Time is very precious and too valuable to squander. Achievers have a strong sense of urgency. Follow religiously your workable time-table. All the time you are using to gist and watch TV is simply a waste of time. Invest time wisely. 7. POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE: You can't be better than what you are thinking; you stand the chance of becoming what you think. Think like a success and behave it. What you think about yourself is what you become. What you think determine how you react. Today's boys and girls will end up as tomorrow's men and women and what you do with your today will determine your future. SEE YOU AT THE TOP!!!
THE BLESSED INDIVIDUAL Psm. 1:1-3. There are diverse ways to be famous and rich on earth or in the world but there's only one sure way to a peaceful blessed life. Many people for the sake of quick wealth acquisition will chose the way of the mockers, liars, deceivers, corrupt etc for a short lived happiness limited to only unrighteous ways. Are you one of them and do you think that's all that there is in life? There's an alternative source worth thinking about and taking. Those who take the way of the Lord and distance themselves from sinners, mockers, deceivers, the corrupt etc live a joyful life. They never lack anything because their source of supply is God; Jehovah Jireh. Success, riches, greatness and blessings are their hallmark so succeeds everywhere they're planted. Quit the way of the wicked and take that of the righteous and see the awesomeness of God.

YOU CALL YOUR SELF A CHRISTIAN!YOU THINK YOU ARE HOLY?? By Ayodeji Biobaku. YOU CANNOT BE ARTIFICIAL AND BE HOLY! YOU CANNOT BE IN WORLDLY FASHIONS AND BE HOLY! SATAN KNOWS THIS VERSE(Hebrews 12:14 Follow after peace with all men, and without HOLINESS no man will see the Lord,) THE DEVIL KNOWS WELL THAT WITHOUT HOLINESS MANY CHRISTIAN WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN..YOU CANT WEAR IMMORAL CLOTHS,MINI-SKIRT,FACIAL PAINTINGS ,MAKE-UPS,EYERINGS, YOU CANT HAVE THOSE PRODUCTS AND BE HOLY! THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOM YOU ARE EITHER A PASTOR YOU ARE HEADING TO HELL..YOU CAN'T ENTER HEAVEN WITH THEM..YOUR PLACE IS HELL. MANY PEOPLE TODAY WILL BE CAST IN HELL BECAUSE OF HOW THEY DRESS,,HOW THEY LIVE HERE ON EARTH WILL DETERMINE WHERE TO GO AFTER WE DIE. THE BIBLE TELLS US TO DRESS DECENTLY BEFORE GOD BECAUSE OUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT..IT TELLS US HOW WE SHOULD WEAR . ( 1 Timothy 2:9 In the same way, that women also keep themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing; 2:10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works. ) AGAIN TO THE WOMAN'S WHO WEARS MENS CLOTHING OR LIKEWISE IT IS WRITTEN - Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman shall not wear men's clothing, neither shall a man put on women's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God. MANY OF WOMEN/MENS WEARS FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSE. WHEN A WOMAN WEARS HALF NAKEDLY OPEN BREAST,MINI-SKIRT. SHE ACTUALLY DONT WEARS FOR HER HUSBAND. BECAUSE HIS HUSBAND KNOWS HER FULL BODY BUT SHE WEARS FOR OTHER MENS TO SEE HOW SEXY SHE IS! THERE IS NO DIFFERENT BETWEEN HER AND PROSTITUTES,,BECAUSE SHE TRIES TO SEDUCE MANY MENS WITH HER BREAST,HIPS AND BUTTS... . EVERY TIME YOU WEAR CLOTHS,MAKE UP HAVE TO ASK YOUR SELF "WHOM AM I WEARING FOR?? AM I PRAISING GOD?? AM I GROLIFYING GOD OR SATAN?...BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE WEAR HALF NAKED,SEXY ,OPEN BREAST WE BECOMES AGENTS OF THE DEVIL WORKING FOR SATAN..WE BECOMES INSTRUMENT OF THE DEVIL TO TEMPT,SEDUCE AND RUIN MANY LEADING THEM TO HELL ..WHEN A LADY/ GENT WEARS SEXY AND NUDE SHE WALKS IN THE STREET WITH PRIDE AND EVERY EYES SPEARS AT HER WITH LUSTY MINDS..AND SPIRITUALLY THE SEXIST IMMORALITY TAKES PLACE...SO IMAGINE HOW MANY EYES WILL FALL IN LUST WITH HER AT THE END OF THE DAY? ,,AND NOW SHE/HE BECOMES A PROSTITUTE,ADULTERY AND WHORE WITHOUT KNOWING . THE BIBLES SAYS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT WOMAN AND LUST AT HER YOU HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER ( Matthew 5:28 but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman and lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.) SO WHEN YOU WEAR IMMORAL CLOTHS AND MENS LUST AT YOU THEN YOU HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH THEM AND AT THE TIME OF JUDGEMENT YOU WILL BE ACCUSED OF COMMITTING ADULTERY ,YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE OF LEADING MANY SOUL TO HELL BECAUSE OF YOUR DRESSINGS. .YOU BECOMES A PROSTITUTE BY WHAT YOU WEARS THE BIBLE SAYS SO.(prov 7).WHY THEN ARE YOU CHRISTIAN LOVING THE WORLDLY FASHIONS??( 1 John 2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.) . WHY DO MENS OR WOMEN HAVE SO MUCH PRIDE??WHY DO THE HAVE TO BOAST DONT YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS JUST A PIECE OF MUD??DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS FULL OF WORMS INSIDE?? WE CONTAINS WORMS INSIDE, A BUCKET OF WARMS SETTLED ..AND YOU DARE HAVE THE PRIDE OF LIFE WHEN YOU ARE JUST A FULL BUCKET WORMS INSIDE,,YOU DARE WALK NAKED,.. WHY ADD MAKE-UPS ?? WHOM DO YOU TRY TO IMPRESS??THE DEVIL OR SATAN.....ARE YOU A VESSEL OF GOD OR SATAN???..THEN WHAT'S ARE THE MAKE UPS FOR??IF THEY DO NOT GROLIFY JESUS THEY GROLIFY SATAN THE PRIEST OF THIS WORLD.. THE BIBLE TELLS US IN EVERYTHING YOU DO IN DEED OR IN WORD ,DO ALL TO GROLIFY OUR LORD JESUS. colosians 3:17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.. ASK YOUR SELF "DO I GIVE GROLY TO GOD WITH WHAT EVER I WEAR,OR DOES.. DO I DO IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS??..THEN WHOM DO YOU PUTS FOR IF ITS NOT JESUS?? THE DEVIL ! THE WAY WE CLOTH TELLS US WHOM WE ARE- Proverbs 7:10 Behold, there a woman met him with clothing like a prostitute, and with make-up. .WEARING LIKE A PROSTITUTE,MAKEUP LIKE A PROSTITUTE SEEKING TO MARKET THE BODY. WE MUST BE SEPARATE WITH THE EARTHLY THINGS,FASHION,MAKE- UPS,ACTIVITIES TO BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH THE NARROW WAY TO HEAVEN,THE HOLY PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.. Matthew 7:13 "Enter in by the narrow WAY; for wide is the WAY and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. 7:14 How narrow is the WAY, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it. FEW ARE THOSE WHO FIND IT! MANY ARE THEM THAT WALKS THROUGH THE BROAD PATH OF WORLDLYNESS THE WAY TO HELL. REPENT AND PREPARE IN HOLINESS MESSIAH IS NOT COMING FOR A WHORE WHO IS MARRIED TO THE WORLDLY THINGS!

TOPIC:- SANCTIFICATION: A MUST FOR EVERY BELIEVER NOTE: Is your heart corrupt, full of lust, evil thoughts and imagination, Sanctification is needed. Do you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you must be sanctified. SANCTIFICATION helps the heart to be pure before God, Matthew 5:8, it will format the old movies in your heart and skull, the corruptible movies you have watched in the time of igrant, sanctification will floosh them out. Sanctification deals with many things in the life of a christian. No sanctification,no baptism of the Holy Spirit, and you must be baptised with the Holy Spirit of GOD before the rapture, because the Holy Spirit is our wings of rapture. So without the Holy Spirit you cannot go with the rapture. You need the Holy Spirit and Sanctification.Have you been sanctified? Are you thirsting and hunger for it? Have you commited yourself into fasting and prayer because you wants to be sanctified? What steps have you take to be sanctified? If God is willing and if Jesus Christ tarries, i will soon type the full note on sanctification,so be expecting it by His grace. You will know more about sanctification,steps to take before sanctification...Holy Spirit of GOD will teach us.....Halleluyah!!

"What does the Bible say about holiness? What does it mean to be holy?" Answer:In 1 Peter 1:13-16, Peter writes to believers, "Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy.'" Peter is quoting from Leviticus 11:44andLeviticus 19:2 . Fir ...describes believers as "a holy nation." It is a fact! We are separated from the world; we need to live out that reality in our day-to-day lives, which Peter tells us how to do in 1 Peter 1:13-16. Finally, how can we become holy? Holiness only results from a right relationship with God by believing in Jesus Christ as Savior (accepting His gift of eternal life). If we have not placed our faith in God's Son alone to save us from our sins, then our pursuit of holiness is in vain. So, we must first make sure we are born-again believers (see John 3). If we truly are believers, then we recognize that our position in Christ automatically sets us apart from the world ( 1 Peter 2:9). After all, we have a relationship with the living God! Then we must daily live a set-apart life, not trying to "blend in" with the world, but instead living according to God's Word as we study the Bible and grow in it.
"How can I overcome sin in my Christian life?" Answer:The Bible presents several different resources to aid us in our effort to overcome sin. In this lifetime, we will never be perfectly victorious over sin ( 1 John 1:8), but that should still be our goal. With God’s help, and by following the principles of His Word, we can progressively overcome sin and become more and more like Christ. The first resource the Bible mentions in our effort to overcome sin is the Holy Spirit. God has given us the Holy Spirit so we can be victorious in Christian living. God contrasts the deeds of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:16-25. In that passage we are called upon to walk in the Spirit. All believers already possess the Holy Spirit, but this passage tells us that we need to walk in the Spirit, yielding to His control. This means choosing to consistently follow the Holy Spirit's prompting in our lives rather than following the flesh. The difference the Holy Spirit can make is demonstrated in the life of Peter, who, before being filled with the Holy Spirit, denied Jesus three times—and this after he had said he would follow Christ to the death. After being filled with the Spirit, he spoke openly and strongly to the Jews at Pentecost. We walk in the Spirit as we try not to quench the Spirit's promptings (as spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 5:19) and seek instead to be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18-21 ). .... Joshua was told that the key to success in overcoming his enemies was not to forget this resource but instead to meditate on it day and night and obey it. This he did, even when what God commanded did not make sense militarily, and this was the key to his victory in his battles for the Promised Land. The Bible is a resource that we too often treat lightly. We give token service to it by carrying our Bibles to church or reading a daily devotional or a chapter a day, but we fail to memorize it, meditate on it, or apply it to our lives; we fail to confess the sins it reveals or praise God for the gifts it reveals to us. When it comes to the Bible, we are often either anorexic or bulimic. We either take in just enough to keep us alive spiritually by eating from the Word (but never ingesting enough to be healthy, thriving Christians), or we come to feed often but never meditate on it long enough to get spiritual nutrition from it. It is important, if you have not made a habit of daily studying and memorizing God's Word, that you begin to do so. Some find it helpful start a journal. Make it a habit not to leave the Word until you have written down something you have gained from it. Some record prayers to God, asking Him to help them change in the areas that He has spoken to them about. The Bible is the tool the Spirit uses in our lives ( Ephesians 6:17), an essential and major part of the armor that God gives us to fight our spiritual battles ( Ephesians 6:12-18). A third crucial resource in our battle against sin is prayer. Again, it is a resource that Christians often give lip service to but make poor use of. We have prayer meetings, times of prayer, etc., but we do not use prayer in the same way as the early church ( Acts 3:1; 4:31; 6:4; 13:1-3). Paul repeatedly mentions how he prayed for those he ministered to. God has given us wonderful promises concerning prayer ( Matthew 7:7-11; Luke 18:1-8; John 6:23-27; 1 John 5:14-15), and Paul includes prayer in his passage on preparing for spiritual battle ( Ephesians 6:18). How important is prayer to overcoming sin in our lives? We have Christ's words to Peter in the Garden of Gethsemane, just before Peter's denial. As Jesus prays, Peter is sleeping. Jesus wakes him and says, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak” ( Matthew 26:41). We, like Peter, want to do what is right but are not finding the strength. We need to follow God's admonition to keep seeking, keep knocking, keep asking—and He will give us the strength that we need ( Matthew 7:7). Prayer is not a magic formula. Prayer is simply acknowledging our own limitations and God's inexhaustible power and turning to Him for that strength to do what He wants us to do, not what we want to do ( 1 John 5:14-15). A fourth resource in our war to conquer sin is the church, the fellowship of other believers. When Jesus sent His disciples out, He sent them out two-by-two ( Matthew 10:1). The missionaries in Acts did not go out one at a time, but in groups of two or more. Jesus commands us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together but to use that time for encouraging one another in love and good works ( Hebrews 10:24). He tells us to confess our faults to one another ( James 5:16). In the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, we are told that as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another ( Proverbs 27:17). There is strength in numbers ( Ecclesiastes 4:11-12). Many Christians find that having an accountability partner can be a huge benefit in overcoming stubborn sins. Having another person who can talk with you, pray with you, encourage you, and even rebuke you is of great value. Temptation is common to us all ( 1 Corinthians 10:13). Having an accountability partner or an accountability group can give us the final dose of encouragement and motivation we need to overcome even the most stubborn of sins. Sometimes victory over sin comes quickly. Other times, victory comes more slowly. God has promised that as we make use of His resources, He will progressively bring about change in our lives. We can persevere in our efforts to overcome sin because we know that He is faithful to His promises.
