OPENED MY EYES!

HOW PATRIOTIC ARE YOU REALLY?

Hello and welcome to yet another "Opened My Eyes" post. It's been quite a stressful week with a few lows for me personally and obviously for my beloved country but God is still in control, mighty on His throne.

Today, It's about something disturbing that I have noticed several times as a person and as a christian. We have invested so little in our nation in many senses. The average Nigerian says what has Nigeria done for me or what has Nigeria to offer me? My friend you have the questions backwards. What have YOU to offer your country(wherever you may be from), what have you done for your country? How much have you prayed? How much have you stepped out where there's opportunity to ensure things are done right even in your little sphere of influence .

I was at a vigil last night and several sessions of prayer were held and guess the one with the lowest volume and vigour: THE ONE FOR NIGERIA. One may argue that people were tired already but the truth is I've seen it many times and it's appalling that we expect things to work when we leave them to chance. We are Nigerians and if you are reading this I believe you are a child of God(if not, He's calling you to sonship right now). We must learn to pray to God for things to be right and stay right NOT WHEN things fall apart but from the get-go.  We MUST learn to do our God-assigned tasks and involve God in EVERYTHING.

I'm tired of people saying "pray for Nigeria" or remembering to pray for Nigeria only when things have gone out of hand. Pray for Nigeria  when things are good and things will seldom be bad. We are in the news everyday almost for some form of calamity or the other. We have the largest population of people living in severe poverty according to some report. You may argue that it's not true but the fact that such a "mistake" could be made is cause for concern. We also have the highest number of religious organisations so SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG.

My people, Nigerian or not, wise up and rise up to pray for your nation. A somewhat popular verse of scripture says to pray for "Jerusalem". Your Jerusalem is wherever you are from. Like it or not, you can never be comfortable in totality when things are not right in your nation whether you live there or not, rich or poor. Consider your eyes opened. Have a fruitful and prayerful week

AUTOCARE: TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

-
Image
The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
