A QUESTION TO PASTORS

A QUESTION TO MY PASTOR:
Accepting Jesus is the best thing that can ever happen to a man. As a matter of fact, a man who turns away from evil to Christ has not Christ a favor but has done himself and his generation a great favor. The gospel simply means good news. My question now is why do pastors ask everyone to close his/her eyes when calling out for new convert? why do they make gospel a shameful thing by telling the church to close their eyes before someone could accept Jesus into his life? i realize that it has now become a normal norm whenever an alter call is to be made. someone who wishes to change from his old nature would have to look right and left to see if someone sees him ready to accept Christ or not. while some would stylishly wait for others to come out first to be sure that they are not the only one ready to change from their old nature, some would be to shameful to come out at all. they would rather not signify their readiness. My bible says that whoever is ashamed of Christ on earth, God too would be ashamed of him. lets stop this hypocrisy in church and let's the people know that accepting Christ is the best thing that can ever happen to them. let the church see that people are been converted and let them rejoice over it. there is nothing to be ashamed of!

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH!

LOVE IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT IN MARRIAGE:
I have come to realized that all we need love for is to get a marriage partner and to commit ourselves into the marriage institution but the same love will not keep our marriages. Research shows that 80% of broken marriage today all started with love. they had once thought and concluded that they were married to their perfect partners. before a woman would say YES to a man, she must have had the illusion that she was getting married to the MR RIGHT in the name of love. And also, for a man to have decided to propose to a lady, then he must have had the conviction that he truly loves her and would want to spend the rest of his life with her. lo and behold, life is not a plate of gold...and the reality of marriage is far from the foundation of love. show me a divorced woman who did not loved her ex-husband dearly as at when saying YES. So, what do we need to keep our marriage or to simply make it work? we need understanding and tolerance. for you not to use the same mouth you used in saying that your wife/husband was the BEST and now say that he/she is a BEAST. for you not to ask urself you got married to that person knowing full well that u married him/her becos u loved him/her. Pray for understanding and supernatural tolerance as marriage brings to you the reality. THE MAN/WOMAN YOU KNOW YESTERDAY is not the same man/woman you know today and will never be the same tomorrow. I pray that God grants you divine understanding and supernatural tolerance so that your LOVE will not become ONCE UPON A TIME!

How To Make Your OWN Perfume

(A few simple steps on how to go about Making Your Own Perfume)

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Why is it that women love perfume as much as men love cars?  There are some researchers who believe that a woman’s reason for loving perfume is because of the pheromones their bodies produce. Often, certain scents or perfumes trigger the increase of how much pheromone a woman’s body will produce. 

While a perfume will help in increasing the production of a woman’s pheromone levels, they are also liked by women because of the attention they get from a member of the opposite sex or even from another woman.

In studies carried out, nearly 80% of all women will make a perfume purchase at least once each year. 

Many women will tell you that the reason they purchase a particular perfume for themselves is that it makes them smell great and they seem to feel better about themselves. It also makes them feel a little bit more feminine.

Not only does smelling great make a woman feel good about herself, but it will make her feel attractive also. 

In this book, we will be looking at ways of how to make your own perfume so that you can produce a scent which is particular to you, and unlike any of those that you can buy either in store or over the internet.

Mohammed "Mo" Dewji, Youngest Member On Africa Richest List Launches Beverage Line - "

Mohammed ‘MO’ Dewji, the youngest member on the Forbes’ Africa richest list, is on track to becoming Africa’s richest man by 2023. And by all accounts he is well on his way; with a net worth of USD $500 million, a diversified conglomerate with an annual turnover of approximately USD $1.3 billion and a recent announcement that A-One Products and Bottlers Ltd, a subsidiary of his company, MeTL Group has introduced a line of carbonated soft drinks in a variety of different flavors backed by a financial infusion of over USD $48 million. The investment includes development of state of the art manufacturing facilities with three world-class production lines which have a production capacity of 36 million crates per annum.

Mohammed ‘MO’ Dewji, CEO, MeTL Group

Speaking over the phone, Dewji explained that the launch of the new beverage line, which will include carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks in over twenty varieties under the premium umbrella brand called “MO” was “a natural extension of growth” and of what his company, A-One “already produces for the market.” A-One Products and Bottlers Ltd began its operations in 1997, producing and distributing its successful brands of water;Masafi  (which means clean in Swahili), Maisha (which means life in Swahili),Just Chill which combined have 35% of the Tanzanian market share and Pride, the popular juice beverage line which has 45% market share. Even though Coca Cola and Pepsi have significant market share in Tanzania in the carbonated beverages sector and therefore are the biggest competitors, Dewji explained that his company MeTL’s biggest strength is distribution.

 

The new beverage line includes several unique flavors; Cola, Orange, Mango, Lemon and Malt. Additionally the initial launch will include energy drink “MO” Bomba which will compete with Red Bull and a new innovative drink“MO” Sheeba Shake. Dewji explained that “MO” Sheeba Shake is a “carbohydrate and protein-rich product” and because it is a “cereal-based beverage suitable for children and adults, it could also be used as a meal substitute.”

A-One began its operations in 1997 initially producing PET (polyethylene terephthalate) preforms and bottles and filling beverages. By 2001, the company expanded its activities to produce buckets and lids as well as HDPE [high-density polyethylene] jerry cans.  In 2007, A-One introduced a cup and sheet making division to cater to the requirements of the local Tanzanian population. Seventeen years later, A-One employs more than 1,100 people and has a fleet of over 100 vehicles that provide door-to-door service to their customers.

The new “Mo Cola”

Dewji explained that the beverages subsidiary contributes 2% of the total group revenue.

He is the FACE of the day.

His story is certainly a motivation to other young minds out there.

FG Calls Off Deal To Swap Abducted Girls With Boko Haram Detained Suspects

The Federal government has called off a deal with Boko Haram to return some of the kidnapped schoolgirls in exchange for the release of group members in custody, the BBC reports

The BBC also reports that an intermediary met Boko Haram leaders earlier this month and visited the location in north-east Nigeria where the girls were being held.

A deal was almost reached to set some of the girls free in exchange for the release of 100 Boko Haram members being held in detention.

But the government cancelled the planned agreement shortly before the swap was due to take place.

The reasons for the withdrawal are unclear.

It came just after Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan attended a meeting in Paris hosted by President Francois Hollande of France where leaders said they had agreed a “global and regional action plan” against Boko Haram.

President Hollande of France, who hosted the summit, said regional powers had pledged to share intelligence and co-ordinate action against the group.

The Paris summit brought together Presidents Francois Hollande, Goodluck Jonathan, and their counterparts from Benin, Cameroon, Niger and Chad.

Afterwards, Mr Hollande said participants had agreed on a “global and regional action plan”.

He said this involved “co-ordinating intelligence, sharing information… border surveillance, a military presence notably around Lake Chad and the capacity to intervene in case of danger”.

Cameroon’s President Paul Biya said: “We are here to declare war on Boko Haram”. Idriss Deby of Chad said it would be “total war”.

NIGERIANS REACT ANGRILY TO THE CAF BEST PLAYER AWARD

Yaya Beats Mikel To Win 2013 African Player Of The Year As Nigeria Sweeps CAF Awards

Posted by: Channels Television Posted date: January 09, 2014 In: Current, Headlines | comment : 4 Comments

Ivorian Midfielder, Yaya Toure, has beaten Nigerian Super Eagles and Chelsea FC midfielder, John Mikel Obi to win for the 3rd consecutive year, the coveted ‘African Footballer of the Year’ Award, at the Glo CAF Awards 2013 held in Lagos.
Mikel Obi was highly favoured by many Nigerians who saw his exploits and team successes with club and country in 2013 as the best credentials to claim the award which has eluded Nigerian footballers since Kanu Nwankwo won it in the year 1999.
While Nigeria confirmed its status as the number 1 footballing country on the African continent during the year 2013 by winning in five categories, the loss of the ultimate crown would cast a gloom on the other successes.
The Nigerian Super Eagles won the award for the ‘National Team of the Year’, while the national Under-17 team, Golden Eaglets, also won ‘Youth National Team of the Year’ at the Glo CAF Awards 2013.
Both teams had been expected by many pundits to claim the awards, having won major tournaments at continental and global levels during the year in review.
The Super Eagles won the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2013 for the first time in 19 years, while the Golden Eaglets won the 2013 FIFA Under-17 World Cup tournament in United Arab Emirates.
Golden Eaglets’ wonder kid, Kelechi Iheanacho, unsurprisingly won the ‘Most Promising Talent’ Award. Ihenacho was the most decorated at the 2013 FIFA Under-17 World Cup, winning the tournament’s Adidas Golden Ball Award for the overall best player, alongside the Silver Boot Award for being the second highest goal scorer, as he helped Nigeria to its 4th title to become the most successful team in the history of the age grade competition.
The Nigerian Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi, was also named ‘African Coach of the Year’ for his exploits with the African Champions. Keshi became the first Nigerian to win the Nations’ Cup as player and coach, and only the second African coach to do so after Egypt’s Mahmoud El-Gohary.
Fair Play Award went to the Nigerian Supporters Club, globally popular for their constant playing of music and dancing while supporting the Nigerian national teams.
Other winners at the awards were Egyptian, Mohammed Aboutreika, who beat Nigeria’s African Nations’ Cup final hero, Sunday Mba, to win the ‘African Player of the Year based in Africa’, while the ‘Club of the Year’ went to Al Ahly FC of Egypt.
The ‘Referee of the Year’ award went to Algerian, Haimoudi Djamel, who officiated the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Final between Nigeria and Burkina Faso, and also officiated the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup play-off for third place between Uruguay and Italy.
The African Team of the Year is made up of Vincent Enyeama (NIG), Ahmed Fathy (EGY), Mehdi (MOR), Kevin Constant (GUI), Mikel Obi (NIG), Mohammed Aboutreika (EGY), Yaya Toure (CIV), Jonathan Pitroipa (BFA), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (GAB), Emmanuel Emenike (NIG), Asamoah Gyan (GHA) Coach Stephen Keshi (NIG)
Five Nigerian players from the successful AFCON 2013 Eagles were nominated for the now lost ‘African Player of the Year’ Award; they include Emmanuel Emenike, Ahmed Musa, Mikel Obi, Sunday Mba and Vincent Enyeama.
Only Mikel Obi made the final 3 man nominees list alongside the 3rd time winner, Ivorian, Yaya Toure and his Ivorian counterpart, Didier Drogba.
Winners were announced in Lagos on January 9, 2014.

WHAT'S OPINION? POST YOUR VIEW AND LET IT COUNT!

Tomorrow, Africans would know who their best is as Nigerian Mikel battles the two Ivorian power houses, King Drogba and Current African best Yaya Toure.







The King will be crowned at the Awards Night holding at the Convention Centre, Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos on 9th January, 2014.
CAF also released the names of top three finalists for the Africa-based ‘Player of the Year’ Award. They are: Mohamed Aboutreika of Al-Ahly and Egypt, Ahmed Fathy also of Al- Ahly of Egypt and Sunday Mba of  Warri Wolves, Nigeria.
The list was prepared through a selection process by the Technical, Football and Media Committees of CAF, taking into account, the performance of the players for their national teams and clubs from January to November of each year. The ultimate winner of the award would be decided by votes from the Head Coaches or the Technical Directors of the National Associations affiliated to CAF.

I cant wait to see the who our King would be. The carpet is laid! Tomorrow comes the day we all have been waiting for.

ARTICLE

Create Many Income Streams For Yourself

by Rajen Devadason
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth.

Moses (Deuteronomy 8:18)

I don't know about you, but I thank God that I live in this day and age, and not in some earlier time when the opportunities to create a life of financial abundance were significantly more constrained. Use your imagination to conjure up mental movies of what it must have been like to be born 5,000 or even 500 years ago in a society that made upward mobility difficult, if not impossible! What if you and I had been born a long time ago into a family of barley farmers?

 

 

 

Or perhaps had lived as shepherds or miners in some distant land ruled by a dynasty of despots? There might have been intermittent periods in our lives when we experienced some slight measure of material 'abundance', perhaps during times of good harvests, healthy flocks or high ore yields. Yet it is vital to remember that during those ancient times, we would always have needed to hope and pray that the general prices of whatever goods we produced would stay high (denominated in the local currency, assuming money was already in use then, or at least in terms of relative barter value - lots of a fisherman's catch, say, for a little of our barley, wool or copper).

This is an article on the wisdom of working to create multiple income streams in our lives. I hope you enjoy reading it. But if it isn't what you're looking for, you're welcome to search for something that better meets your needs. Thank you for allowing me to serve you. Rajen Devadason

Web www.FreeCoolArticles.com www.RajenDevadason.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But how would we have fared if our production levels plummetedbecause of some plant or animal disease or a mine cave-in, or if a general glut decimated price levels?

And during the good times, how would we have stored our wealth safely and in a manner that generated growth before the advent of secure banks and regulated stock and bond markets?

You get the picture...

Today, in any nation where free enterprise reigns and where capital markets exist, there is an opportunity for regular people like you and me to earn a living in many, many, many ways! Nonetheless, most of us would still be better served honing our skills in one area of expertise rather than by dissipating our efforts in too many arenas.

So, are you a successful executive, sales person, doctor, lawyer, accountant, financial planner, pilot or dentist? Or are you a striving, struggling actor, artist, writer or poet?

The bottomline is it really doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it well today and have a plan to continually improve your skills.

In our day and age, as long as we're capable of bringing in income, we are - at least in principle - able to create long-lasting wealth.

With numerous ways to turn a single active income source into lots of semi-active or wholly passive income sources, isn't it ironic that so few people ever bother to get to first base in this game?

Since you've penetrated so deep into this article already, chances are excellent that you are - or have the potential to be - among the elite minority of our 21st century. My assumption: You desire financial success in your life AND are willing to pay the price for it.

Consider then this simple but ever so powerful 3-part formula to long-term financial success:

1. Work hard to earn a decent wage;

2. Arrange your affairs so that you spend less than you earn;

3. Save and invest the difference... for a long, long time!

The manner in which you save and invest will determine whether you fail or succeed in moving from the, sadly, still conventional and thus 'normal' human condition of having just a single income source to the superior state of having many such streams.

Be warned, though: To succeed at this game, you must relinquish any residual negative attitudes about having lots of money. Many of us come from backgrounds that have imprinted our psyches with attitudes like...

	rich people are evil
	money is the root of all evil
	money isn't important

It is interesting that the second of the three attitudes listed above is a very, very common misquotation (and misinterpretation) of a famous line from the Bible.

What the Good Book actually says (I suggest you not take my word for it but double check it for yourself in 1 Timothy 6:10a) is that '... the love of money is the root of all evil'.

I believe what that means is dangerous problems arise when we turn money into an idol, an end in itself, instead using it as a tool, as a means to achieve much greater, grander, more inspirational ends.

Because it will take awesome sacrifice, hard work and patience to get to the point where you have many sources of income instead of just one, it might be helpful for you to read how one of the richest men of his era felt about this subject.

America's 19th century steel king, Andrew Carnegie, once wrote an intriguingly entitled essay, The Gospel of Wealth, in which he stated:

"The fundamental idea of the gospel of wealth is that surplus wealth should be considered as a sacred trust to be administered by those into whose hands it falls, during their lives, for the good of the community."

If you reckon that making the world a better place is a good reason for you to improve your money management skills, here are 3 things you can do:

First, invest in yourself by reading and thinking about your area of primary expertise, then do the same on the subject of money.

Frankly, the more you know about your own area of employment or business, the more likely you are to be promoted by an employer or hired by richer clients. And the more you know about finance, the less likely you are to become helpless bait for (financial) sharks who prey on the naive and gullible. (If you'd like some suggestions in this second area, please help yourself to my FREE ebook 26 Books to Take YOU All the Way to the TOP! It's been written to help you embark upon your very own five-year mission of discovery through a self-study programme in personal finance, economics and investing.)

Doing so will allow you learn more about sound savings and investment options.

Second, begin to save some of your money in different fixed deposits (FDs) or certificates of deposit (CDs). Start small and opt for short tenures to begin with so that you get encouraged by the inflow of passive income into your main bank account intermittently throughout the year.

This will help you develop an appreciation for passive income.

Third, over the next few years, expand your sources of active income by considering starting side businesses (as long as these don't compromise your position with your primary employer), and multiply your sources of passive income by saving and investing your money in income generating instruments like bank accounts, money market funds, bond funds, equity funds, dividend yielding stocks, real estate investment trusts, and even rental property.

Putting each little 'brick' in place will take patience and a relatively rare willingness to give up consumption today to create a fresh, potentially perpetual income stream tomorrow.

If you are able to stick to your programme over the next decade or two you will wake up one morning to the wonderful realisation that your passive income sources are bringing in a deluge of money that exceeds your active income source, and which outstrips your personal and your family's cash requirements.

Tonto Dikeh Will Be Arrested This Year
I’m not sure if it’s her awful music, or another bout with marijuana that will make us pull out our hair again, but it’s a certainty that the Nollywood diva will do something so illegal and epic that she’ll miss a major part of movie shoots this year.
Now that soft-porn queens are taking all the media attention to themselves, Tonto has been left on the sidelines, a cold lonely star whose every fart goes unnoticed. But she’ll bounce back. And I feel she’ll indulge in cocaine.
And the NDLEA will come calling with handcuffs, and a cold prison for poor Tonto the junkie.

JOHN MIKEL OBI

• Profile
• Career
• Appearances

Mikel's strength on the ball and natural aggression make him an asset for both club and country. Mikel began his career with Plateau United in his homeland before spells with Ajax Cape town in South Africa and Norwegian side Lyn Oslo.
He soon became one of the most sought-after young players in Europe and in 2005 Manchester United beat a host of interested parties to his signature. However, Mikel had other ideas, and despite appearing at a press conference in a United shirt, the midfielder claimed he had been pressured into the move and wanted to move to Chelsea instead. A legal dispute ensued but eventually the Chelsea deal was done, costing the Blues £16 million in a complex judgement that involved money being paid to both United and Lyn.
Jose Mourinho was delighted to get his man and Mikel started 24 games and scored twice in his first season, as well as winning the African Young Player of the Year award for a second successive time. The midfielder's development continued in 2007-08 but questions continued to be raised about his temperament after he was sent off against Manchester United and Everton, and he was an unused substitute in Chelsea's Champions League final defeat to United.
Michael Essien's injury absence allowed Mikel more playing time in 2008-09 and he seized the opportunity with a string of fine performances. He finished the season being nominated for the club's Player and Young Player of the Season awards. He suffered injury problems in 2009-10, but still started 21 Premier League games as Chelsea won the title.
For Nigeria, he was touted as a future superstar after a series of scintillating displays in the 2005 Under-20 World Youth Championships earned him the Silver Ball for second best player in the tournament, behind Lionel Messi. He played for the Super Eagles in the 2006, 2008 and 2010 African Nations Cup, and played seven games of the qualifying campaign for the 2010 World Cup. However, he missed the 2010 World Cup due to injury, saying he had to protect his long-term career rather than risk more serious problems by playing in South Africa.
In the summer of 2011, Mikel had to cope with the kidnapping of his father, but he was still able to enjoy a strong campaign, growing in stature as the campaign wore on and ultimately playing an important role in the Champions League success.
Strengths: Aggressive and fearless in the challenge, Mikel is not just an ankle-biter but has excellent distribution to boot.
Weaknesses: He has shown a lack of discipline at times in his career.
Career High: He was superb as Chelsea claimed glory over Bayern Munich in the 2012 Champions League final.
Career Low: Being sent off in the 2007 League Cup final against Arsenal in an incident that provoked ugly scenes.
Style: A solid defensive midfielder, at his best when deployed in the anchor role in front of the defence.
Quotes: "For the present and for the future he is a very important player for us. I hope that he stays at Chelsea for a lot of years. I would like that he puts in his great quality for the team." Carlo Ancelotti, July 2009.
Trivia: The scout who first recommended Mikel to Chelsea was Piet de Visser, who is also credited with bringing Brazilian superstars Romario and Ronaldo to Europe.
