DEALING WITH THE UNDERLYING FACTOR I recently heard about a woman who was habitually on the war path with most everyone.

IT MATTERS TO HIM TOO. Very many years ago,  I was at a church service when a young man came up to the microphone to give his testimonies. He said he had three things to share. Somehow, I only ever remembered the last one where he said; “…And my wife has finally lost the weight she has been trying

DARE TO TRUST HIM AGAIN! It is the season of Lent again when Christians all over the world will be observing forty days of fasting, praying and basically re-dedicating themselves to God.  It is a period most refer to as a time of sober reflection.

The melody is good but the horn arrangement is fantastic. A must listen!) This song eulogises water; it talks about waters benefits, praises it and says

FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES. A couple of weeks ago,  a young girlfriend of mine got married. The ceremony was a huge success and we are truly thankful to God for that. The wedding party was a whole ‘nother level of entertainment of guests. It was an “A-list” event having in attendance the who is who of Lagos elites and socialites.

THE FATHER’S LOVE A quick dash towards my baby where I had lain him down for a diaper change and I was able to avert a disaster as he spewed forth the contents of his mouth being his recently consumed lunch of milk, into my palm. Phew!! Thank God for that. I did not have to add another baby grow
