Love of the body and soul

Understanding Temptation Temptation is the desire to do or have something that you know is wrong or bad. Temptation is an attraction to an action or an object that is absolutely wrong. To illustrate, while shopping you see a desirable object. The thought that you could easily steal the object invades your mind. However, when your conscience says no! And you dismiss the thought and move on. At that point you are a victor. But when your conscience says yes and you yield to that temptation, you have allowed the temptation to subdue you. You will find yourself doing the wrong thing and facing the repercussions.   Temptation is like a trade; it is like an offer made to you. Most times when people make an offer to you, you might instinctively discover what they want you to exchange for that offer. Or they might even tell you what you need to exchange before they grant you that offer. But when you see temptation and it's offer, it doesn't tell you to surrender anything for it...

The pains were much; the sufferings seemed endless, and tears flowed like a river. When every efforts to make things better proved futile, they hollered. The hollering was loud, but when listened to closely, one cannot tell its contrast with a sorrowful wail. The insincerity of our leaders, and the state of nature our country found itself, blinded their eyes to their future and hardened their hearts not to wait on their potentials. Hence, they were moved by hope that was like a mustard seed, to do whatever it takes to get to that land, where deceptive mouths attested to the milk and honey flowing there, but forgetting to tell them that the milk and honey had already soured. They wanted to be out of the country as soon as possible. They could no longer tolerate the mess in the country. They wanted to fly to that country where many had assured that it is better there. They didn't even mind if the country was better than their homeland or not. They just wanted to be out of...

About a Stoat A stoat is a small mammal that is often found in open habitats like heathlands, grasslands and sand dunes. It is a small predator and it feeds on rabbits, eggs and small rodents. It is a hunter that is active day and night. It's back is chestnut brown while its throat and belly is colored white with a black tipped tail. During winter its entire fur changes to  white completely, and its fur becomes more thicker and dense. The only part of it that doesn't change is the black tipped tail. What Christians should and shouldn't learn from this animal What Christians should learn Like I said earlier, during winter, the Stoat changes from a chestnut brown fur animal to a complete white thick fur animal. And when this process is completed, the stoat is then called the white Ermine. Now during this period, the stoat cherishes its white coat more than its life. It can go to the length of giving up its life than to see its white coat get stained. Anything that would ...

When we deliberate deeply on our lives, we realize that most of our relationships with people involves a covenant, and we may be conscious or unconscious about it. In fact, the life we are living in our societies today is a covenant. People are getting along today because everyone is keeping his or her own part of the covenant. For instance, as a normal citizen of a state, you adhere to the laws and customs of the state, and the state in turn protects your rights as a citizen and provide social amenities for you. This is an example of a covenant. You are keeping your own part of the covenant by abiding to the laws of the state, and the state will keep its own part by protecting your rights as an abiding citizen whenever it is infringed on. You can see that there is an agreement. What is the purpose of this agreement between the state and the citizen? The purpose of th...

This new year, we should avoid requesting for love and blessings without any plans on how to reciprocate such love. As we have crossed over into the new year, we look onto God and pray for healing, prosperity, progress, success, provision, happiness, wealth, and lots more. All these things we demand are what will make us happy, but we don't care about how to make the one that gives us all these things happy. Many don't care about the happiness of God; they do the will of men and not the will of God. This year, as we demand blessings from God, let us endeavor to make him happy also. The peculiar thing about the love of God is that he loves every one even those that are living in sin, he still loves them. But his pain is that sinners won't be able to make Heaven, because Heaven can never accommodate unrighteous people. You know how it feels when a man loves his wife dearly, and his wife fails to give him attention. It makes the husband unhappy, but he continues to endure and...
