– Systems Theory and Contingency Theory. In this article, we will take an
in-depth look at the Systems Theory along with its contributions and
criticisms.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Systems Theory was developed in the early 1960s. With a
conceptual and analytical base, it attaches great significance to empirical
research data. In simple terms, the
theory considers organizations as systems. ”A system is an organized or complex
whole – an assemblage or combination of things or parts which form a complex
unitary whole”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">There are two types of systems:</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Open Systems</b> – which interact with their environment.
Also, all living systems are open systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Closed Systems</b> – which have no interaction with their
environment. Also, all non-living systems are closed systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">An organization is an Open System as it continuously
interacts with its environment. Therefore, to understand an
organization, one must identify its boundaries. We can understand an
organization’s interaction with its environment as an input-output model.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Inputs </b>are energy, information, and materials which
the organization takes from the environment. It then transforms with the
help of people and machines and supplies the output to the environment. Further, the reaction of the environment to
the output is the feedback mechanism using which the organization can evaluate
and correct itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">systems theory<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">An organization has several sub-systems like technical
sub-systems, social sub-systems, etc. Some of these sub-systems are independent
and don’t need interlinking through any process. Hence, the Systems Theory
involves the study of an organization and identifies:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Its strategic parts<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The nature of the interdependency between these parts. If there are any processes or systems which
link the parts together and the list of goals that the system is trying to
accomplish.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Main Parts of an Organization System<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The primary parts of an organization system are as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Individual </b>– An individual and his personality are the
basic part of the system. Every individual’s attitude and motives determine his
expectations when he participates in the organization system.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Formal Organization</b> – A formal organization is the
interrelated pattern of jobs which are designed to regulate the actions of
individuals and other resources in the organization. Therefore, the individual
must perform his job and the organization must fulfil his expectations on successfully completing the job. Usually, there is incongruency between the
goals of the organization and those of its members.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Informal Organization</b> – In any organization, an
individual interacts significantly with the informal group to which he belongs.
This informal group, typically, demands the individual to conform to its
laid-down behaviour patterns. The individual conforms to accomplish his
goals by associating with the informal group. Further, since the two interact,
they modify each other’s behaviour.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Status and Roles</b> – In every organization, individuals
are expected to play certain roles. These roles determine their status. There
are times when the demands on an individual from formal and informal
organizations contradict each other. At such times, there is a role conflict.
Therefore, the two roles must fuse together. This fusion
process works to wield divergent elements together to preserve the
integrity of the organization.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Physical Setting</b> – Another important component is the
physical surroundings in which an individual performs a job. Therefore, it is
important to carefully examine the interaction in the complex man-machine
system. One cannot approach the problem in a purely technical manner and needs
to consider the social, psychological, as well as physiological conditions of
members. Only then can one fit the machines to men.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>An interconnection between the sub-systems </b>The sub-systems of an organization are
interconnected through various processes as described below:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Communication </b>– An effective mechanism which links
all the organizational sub-systems together. It involves receiving messages
from the external environment and sharing these messages within the organization.
It also works as a control and coordination mechanism to link the decision
centres in the system.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Decision-making</b> is another important process
for linking various parts in an organization. In fact, the decision to produce
depends on the interaction between individuals and the demands of the
organization. Hence, the decision of an individual to participate in production
depends on the demands and rewards of the organization.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Balance</b> – Balance is an equilibrating mechanism which
allows the different parts of the system to stay in a harmonious and structured
relationship with each other. It helps in ensuring integrity in the face of a
rapidly changing environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Contributions of the Systems Theory<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Systems Theory offers an open-system view of an
organization and recognizes its environmental interface. The theory is dynamic and adaptive. It adopts a multi-level and multi-dimensional
approach. Therefore, it considers both macro and micro aspects. Further, it draws from several disciplines
like sociology, economics, psychology, engineering, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is descriptive and not prescriptive or normative,
Further, it is probabilistic and not deterministic and places a lot of emphasis
on lateral rather than vertical relationships.
Cybernetics is another significant contribution to the Systems Theory.
Cybernetics is the science of communication and control in a man-machine
system.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Criticism of the Systems Theory<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Systems Organizational Theory is not unified but an
amalgamation of several theories like the systems theory, contingency theory,
decision theory, etc. It is not really
modern, but a synthesis of the research contributions of earlier theories. This theory is too abstract to be of
practical use. It does not specify the precise relationships between the
organization and the social system.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It does not offer a framework which can be applied to all
organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="color: red; font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="clear: left; color: red; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="clear: left; color: red; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2NJi0IfZcej4N6-sV4cZ2ve3R26_OlW3azLjjt1ci3Gy9Y8cTcGNeWbMmXdBRARa8MYKm_oNA8EH4RuZV6wS1Ght5EZDrPaTVvkUG-vstU7Q6_snvYdLOJwXAxbWvtL1wB9aZW-jTHx14rPIMkCwAaueANEWMgkhyphenhyphen0IQ9yzS_CSiC3H9kpnjcB6z53M/s240/240_F_76108734_DwJAmXrYV28p6VT5vrH6BMlbap2m1ob5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="240" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2NJi0IfZcej4N6-sV4cZ2ve3R26_OlW3azLjjt1ci3Gy9Y8cTcGNeWbMmXdBRARa8MYKm_oNA8EH4RuZV6wS1Ght5EZDrPaTVvkUG-vstU7Q6_snvYdLOJwXAxbWvtL1wB9aZW-jTHx14rPIMkCwAaueANEWMgkhyphenhyphen0IQ9yzS_CSiC3H9kpnjcB6z53M/w200-h200/240_F_76108734_DwJAmXrYV28p6VT5vrH6BMlbap2m1ob5.jpg" width="200" /></a></span></div><p></p><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To support and assist working-class students of NOUN to achieve a high-grade master's degree, <span>we are providing past questions and answers for a period of up to five years.

Just 30 minutes every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance. It can also reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Unlike some other forms of exercise, walking is free and doesn’t require any special equipment or training. Physical activity does not have to be vigorous or done for long periods to improve your health.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walking is low impact, requires minimal equipment, can be done at any time of day and can be performed at your own pace. You can get out and walk without worrying about the risks associated with some more vigorous forms of exercise.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walking is also a great form of physical activity for people who are overweight, elderly, or who haven’t exercised in a long time. Walking for fun and fitness isn’t limited to strolling by yourself around local neighbourhood streets. There are various clubs, venues and strategies you can use to make walking an enjoyable and social part of your lifestyle.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgox7IwAdkqHI6RZ-fkC0VQ0R66jGz9bQMwc1buTisV89l3AtTpSDZrb3tnpA3Z-s9zdhiIlc9kE5-XVdROuV-W3NHK-8YzjdaNt2Z5DPN5j7ajAetbXSQJHIKXqWkM_qrVcKNufgFqdKmdyN2IOUPfj0U4IkSI3LWewO1gvIBCAuFltYQnRAcGBvsNSm8/s1200/two-black-woman-walking-through-a-grass-field-royalty-free-image-1693499036.jpg" style="clear: left; display: inline; font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1198" data-original-width="1200" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgox7IwAdkqHI6RZ-fkC0VQ0R66jGz9bQMwc1buTisV89l3AtTpSDZrb3tnpA3Z-s9zdhiIlc9kE5-XVdROuV-W3NHK-8YzjdaNt2Z5DPN5j7ajAetbXSQJHIKXqWkM_qrVcKNufgFqdKmdyN2IOUPfj0U4IkSI3LWewO1gvIBCAuFltYQnRAcGBvsNSm8/s320/two-black-woman-walking-through-a-grass-field-royalty-free-image-1693499036.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Health benefits of walking</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">You carry your own body weight when you walk.

Some of the benefits include:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>reduced risk of heart disease and stroke</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>stronger bones and improved balance</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>increased muscle strength and endurance</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>reduced body fat.</i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walk for 30 minutes a day</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">To get the health benefits, try to walk for at least 30 minutes as briskly as you can on most days of the week. ‘Brisk’ means you can still talk but not sing, and you may be puffing slightly. Moderate activities such as walking pose little health risk but if you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before starting any new exercise program of physical activity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Build physical activity into your life</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If it’s too difficult to walk for 30 minutes at one time, do regular small bouts (10 minutes) 3 times per day and gradually build up to longer sessions. If your goal is to lose weight, you will need to do physical activity for longer than 30 minutes each day. You can achieve this by starting with smaller bouts of activity throughout the day and increasing these as your fitness improves.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Physical activity built into a daily lifestyle plan is also one of the most effective ways to assist with weight loss and keep weight off once it’s lost. Some suggestions to build walking into your daily routine include:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Take the stairs instead of the lift (for at least part of the way).</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Get off public transport one stop earlier and walk to work or home.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Walk (don’t drive) to the local shops.</i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Make walking part of your routine</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Try to make walking a routine – for example, try to walk at the same time each day. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Remember, you use the same amount of energy no matter what time of day you walk, so do what is most convenient for you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">You may find that asking someone to walk with you will help make it a regular activity. Some people find that keeping an activity diary or log also makes it easier.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wear a pedometer while walking</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">A pedometer measures the number of steps you take. You can measure your movement throughout the day and compare it to other days or recommended amounts. This may motivate you to move more. The recommended number of steps accumulated per day to achieve health benefits is 10,000 steps or more.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">A comfortable intensity for walking</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For most people, there is little difference in the amount of energy used by walking a kilometre or running a kilometre – it’s just that walking takes longer. Plan to cover a set distance each day and monitor how long it takes you to walk this distance. As your fitness improves, you will be able to walk a longer distance and use more energy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walking fast burns more kilojoules per hour than walking slowly, but this doesn’t mean you have to push yourself until you’re breathless. Instead, pace yourself so that you can still talk. This simple rule of thumb means that you walk safely within your target heart rate, which brings about health gains.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our bodies tend to get used to physical activity, so continue to increase your intensity as you improve your fitness levels. You can increase the intensity of your walks by:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>walking up hills</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>walking with hand weights</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>increasing your walking speed gradually by including some quick walking</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>increasing the distance you walk quickly before returning to a moderate walking pace</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>walking for longer.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Warm-up and cool down after walking</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The best way to warm up is to walk slowly. Start each walk at a leisurely pace to give your muscles time to warm up, and then pick up the speed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Afterwards, gently stretch your leg muscles – particularly your calves and front and back thighs. Stretches should be held for about 20 seconds. If you feel any pain, ease off the stretch. Don’t bounce or jolt, or you could overstretch muscle tissue and cause microscopic tears, which lead to muscle stiffness and tenderness.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">It’s best to dress lightly when you do physical activity. too many layers can increase sweating and build up body temperature, making you uncomfortable during a walk or possibly causing skin irritations. A gradual cool-down will also prevent muscular stiffness and injury.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Footwear for walking</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walking is a low-cost and effective form of exercise. However, the wrong type of shoe or walking action can cause foot or shin pain, blisters and injuries to soft tissue. Make sure your shoes are comfortable, with appropriate heel and arch supports. Take light, easy steps and make sure your heel touches down before your toes. Whenever possible, walk on grass rather than concrete to help absorb the impact.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Make walking a pleasure</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some suggestions to help make regular walking a pleasurable form of physical activity include:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>varying where you walk</i></span></p><p><i style="font-family: verdana;">walking with friends</i></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>joining a walking club.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Make walking interesting</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ways to keep your daily walk interesting include:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you want to stick close to home and limit your walking to neighbourhood streets, pick different routes so you don’t get tired of seeing the same sights. If you feel unsafe walking alone, find one or more friends or family members to walk with.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walk at various times of the day. The sights to see first thing in the morning are bound to differ from those of the afternoon or early evening. Drive to other reserves, park the car and enjoy the views while walking. Explore what’s happening around you; notice the sky, the people, the sounds.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walking with other people can turn a bout of exercise into an enjoyable social occasion. </span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Suggestions include:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Schedule a regular family walk – this is a great way to pass on healthy habits to your children or grandchildren and to spend time together while getting fit at the same time.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are walking with children, ensure the route and length of time spent walking are appropriate for make sure the route and length of time spent walking are appropriate to their age.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Babies and toddlers enjoy long walks in the pram. Take the opportunity to point out highlight items of interest to young ones, such as vehicles, flowers and other pedestrians.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Look for the self-guided nature walks that have been set up in many parks. Younger children enjoy looking for the next numbered post; older ones can learn about the plants and animals of the park, and perhaps take photos or record their experience in other ways.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; color: #7f7f7f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: red; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">CONCLUSION:</span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0in; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon. </span><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is the loving-kindness of God that He has kept you alive till now.

Without forgiveness, the love you profess for your spouse is not deep enough. We must learn to </span><span style="text-align: justify;">'let go' of an offence, and it must come from the heart. </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">The courage and willingness to forgive your spouse is a sign of spiritual maturity in Christ. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><b>Here's the Confession of a married woman, now born again.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Hi brethren,</b> I just want to share my true life story with you so that you can learn from it. We are human beings, we make mistakes every day but it is left for you to learn from your mistakes. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I met this guy in 2001 when I was writing WAEC, his name is Agu. We fell in love. “He was everything a woman would ask for; he is fair, handsome, intelligent and God fearing, he loved me so much, he shared the little he had with me, and he was willing to do anything I asked for though he didn’t have much because he was still in second year at university of Nigeria, Enugu campus.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">“He did everything possible for me to gain admission into the university. I eventually gained admission in 2003 at Enugu State University of Science and Technology and graduated in 2007. I don’t know what came over me. I had a fling with this guy named Buchi. Though I never loved him, I became pregnant with him. I didn’t know what to do, but terminating the pregnancy was not an option.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I didn’t want to lose Agu. It was as if my world had crumbled. I didn’t tell anybody not even my best friend because I never could tell what would happen if I did. I made a smart move by telling Agu that I was pregnant for him. Of course, he believed me because he trusted me so much but I betrayed his love for me.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He came to see my people, though my parents are dead. I eventually put to bed, a baby girl. This was in 2008. Do you know what my baby was exactly the carbon copy of Buchi, the guy I had a fling with? I was not surprised because I knew the pregnancy wasn’t Agu’s but I thought the baby would’ve resembled me.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of course, I was wrong. Agu accepted us even when he knew the baby did not look like him or me. Ever since I have been dying in silence. My conscience kept killing me. At one point, I hated my own child seeing a picture of another man in her.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My husband, Agu loved her so much more than anything. In 2010, I had another baby boy for my husband. My joy knew no bounds. I was really happy, my husband was happy as well. In 2012, I had another baby boy for my husband, Agu. Even at that, he loved my daughter more than his two biological sons.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">At one point, I became jealous but what can I do. I just couldn’t bear it any more so I decided to give my life to Christ and beg God for forgiveness which I know he has done. This I did because I couldn’t continue to die in silence. It was now for me to confess to my husband but how would I achieve that without breaking my home?</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I didn’t want to lose my home, I loved my husband and my kids. “He is a wonderful man but I betrayed him. I prayed and asked God to give me the strength to confess to him… On the set day, I first called him on the phone to ask him if he would ever forgive me. He asked what I meant by that. He asked if I was alright and I said yes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He hung up on me. I cried like a baby. When he came back from work that same day, I served him his dinner. After that, I went with him into the room and told him to forgive me and that he should not punish our daughter for what she did not know about but punish me. He Already Knew That He Is Not The Father Of Our Daughter: “He asked again what I meant by that. I narrated everything that transpired between Buchi and me.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To my greatest surprise, he dropped a bombshell. He said he knew all these years that he was not the biological father of our 4-year-old daughter. I asked him if he knew about it and didn’t bother to ask me? He said that he knew that someday I was going to tell him but he never knew it would come this soon. It was as if the ground should open and swallow me.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I was so ashamed of myself that I bowed my face in tears but he cuddled me and said he’d forgiven me long ago. He said that we pray every day OUR FATHER FORGIVE US OUR SINS AS WE FORGIVE THOSE TRESPASS AGAINST US, why won’t he forgive me? “He said no one is perfect and that we make mistakes in life.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He said that I was a nice person and that we had been through a lot in life. So, he cannot abandon me now that I need him most. He told me that he could possibly throw me out so that people would laugh at me but he has always loved me. “As for my daughter, as far as he is concerned, she is his daughter.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He has always seen her as one and that he will always love us. I was short of words, all I could do was to cry and thank him and thank God for the kind of man he has given me because I know that no man would take that from any woman no matter what except by the special grace of God.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am now a happy person and I have given my life to Jesus Christ. We must learn how to confess our sins no matter what so that Satan will be put to shame and also learn how to forgive. We now live in the with my daughter and my two boys in the UK.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; color: #7f7f7f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: red; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">CONCLUSION:</span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; color: #7f7f7f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: red; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0in; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon. </span><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is the loving-kindness of God that He has kept you alive till now.

The simple reason is that God loves man and wants him to flourish. God saw that Adam was lonely and created Eve, his wife a companion, helpmate and helper of destiny. A close friend and confidant to navigate life with.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Marriage is a trust relationship, The trust being that the relationship that graduated into marriage is one that should be respected and honoured by the couples. The vows made is primarily to bind the man and woman, that they become one in the spirit and act in uniform physically. It is bonding that makes the man love and care for his wife above everyone else, including his mother and father. It is a life long relationship of trust and oneness that makes the couples to act in the best interest of each other and their union.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is expected to be a union of joy and happiness that forbids any of them to think evil against the other. A relationship where you prefer your spouse and defend her, protect her and stand with her throughout life. In return, she humbly submits to the husband and loves him and their children, taking care of them like a mother will take care of her children.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Several years later, marriage has been reduced to mere living together of a man and woman. Some couples are just managing to stay together, the love and happiness that marriage brings has departed from them, but due to society and family concerns, they have remained together. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdLkQ2cVbpV61NuXEu4AT0h1uDeVDgYue9Yr9uJFVYm1vDUbT7hsnL_T432R68loi7rDr1c0YOWMcts46t4OffkpOD-iF2RMSIZcoNjFkabHqTcVuj9jFq5HmQdhaHNsKGtPMO4a4L4Kjs-4clZuk9CbjPdB0jjBL-0Y8UtcdLQ5FpiG5C3O7d-KxlIY/s518/rodkpsponet5vqlob585fb783d8818.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="336" data-original-width="518" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdLkQ2cVbpV61NuXEu4AT0h1uDeVDgYue9Yr9uJFVYm1vDUbT7hsnL_T432R68loi7rDr1c0YOWMcts46t4OffkpOD-iF2RMSIZcoNjFkabHqTcVuj9jFq5HmQdhaHNsKGtPMO4a4L4Kjs-4clZuk9CbjPdB0jjBL-0Y8UtcdLQ5FpiG5C3O7d-KxlIY/s320/rodkpsponet5vqlob585fb783d8818.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All the struggles that people face in marriage today are a result of disobedience to the rules and ordinances of Marriage established by God in the Bible. Marriage is a spiritual and physical arrangement. If you fail the spiritual test of two becoming one in the spirit, you cannot enjoy a smooth and loving marriage in the physical.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are still wonderful marriages even today, where the man and the woman have joined hands and resources to build their love and trust for each other above their friends, money, relatives and other third parties. That is what God expects and wherever God sees such couples, He blesses them with everything they need to be good parents to their children and example to others desiring good marriage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This Confession and other marriage stories that we will be bringing to readers is purely for edification and learning. </span><b style="font-family: verdana;">The Confession of Mr Simi Johnson, real name covered</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Mr. Simi Johnson met Grace at an event, he says:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Before we parted company, I managed to convince her to give me her mobile phone number on the basis that we were in the same industry and it is always good to network. Hesitantly, she gave me. That was a loophole I would later exploit.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After our initial meeting at that workshop, we kept in touch through text messages and I restrained myself from sending any messages that were out of line. I was warned that if that were the case, my number would join her growing list of blocked numbers. I resorted to sending general messages on friendship, advice, and some interesting developments about our industry to keep the communication lines open and remain relevant. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Meanwhile, I kept looking for that one opportunity which would open the floodgates for me. I waited and waited. It was agony during that waiting period. I was not used to this kind of waiting. But I reckoned Grace was well worth the wait. Finally, the opportunity opened up.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One Saturday afternoon whilst I was at the farm, I received a text message from Grace, asking me to call her. This had never happened. I called her and to my surprise, she was crying. I gently asked her if I could go over and see her and she accepted. I had mixed emotions about the issue. On the one hand, I was happy I would finally be able to see her, on the other hand, sad because she was crying.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Within an hour I was by her gate patiently waiting for her to come out. When she did come out, it was a sight to behold except this time she was in tears. She said she just needed to talk to someone who could understand her, and on that day, that someone turned out to be me. I reckoned a good place for us to have our chat was a quiet lodge in Avondale that I knew well from my experience. We headed off for the lodge and within 20 minutes we were there.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As we engaged in conversation, Grace opened up as to why she was crying. She explained that she was distraught and torn apart when one of her cousins confided in her that her fiancé had impregnated two ladies and asked one of them to abort. The weird part was that the one who asked to abort was the one narrating the story to Grace. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She went on to show Grace the exchange of messages between herself and Grace's fiancé including the mobile money transfer to carry out the operation at some Chinese Clinic. Grace was devasted and inconsolable.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This was a man she had dated and trusted for four years. Having no pass turned out to be a disappointment. It appears to me that the words I had told her at our first meeting had come back to haunt her; men will always be men.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I listened to this dazzling beauty queen pour her heart out, I had an epiphany, a moment of sudden realization. Was this the moment I had been waiting for? That moment when prey is mortally wounded and the predator seizes the opportunity. Grace was emotionally wounded, absolutely distraught by the turn of events. She had hit rock bottom and was at her weakest point. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The hunter instinct in me was suddenly invoked. The animal in me was saying – go for the kill, another part was begging me to contain myself. For a brief while, I struggled to contain my emotions and was conflicted. Whilst, on one hand, I was providing a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, on the other hand, Grace was there for the taking.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I convinced Grace that it would be better if she could lay down somewhere comfortable, like a bed. But instead of taking her back to her place, where she clearly did not want to go, I proceeded to book a room at the lodge. Grace had taken more drinks than she could handle. I suspect it was the first time she had been disappointed in such a manner and she didn’t know how to handle it.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When we got to the room, she threw herself on the double bed to nap. This was the moment Uncle Simi was waiting for. I quickly rushed to the bar and got a packet of condoms. On my way back, I started thinking about what Grace would think of me once the effects of alcohol had worn off. Somehow, I had a change of heart and came to the conclusion that I had more to gain from this situation by not taking advantage of Grace. I wanted Grace for keeps, there was a Gift-shaped hole in me that had to be filled.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">With that in mind, I went back to the room and Grace was fast asleep, the excess alcohol had clearly taken its toll on her. I stood by the bed feeling so powerful yet helpless at the same time. There was still a small part of me telling me to go for it but I resisted. To distract my mind from this stunning beauty queen I had in my midst, I turned on the Television and proceeded to watch a football match.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After about two-three hours, Grace woke up wondering where she was and what had transpired. She was visibly shaken and ashamed at how she found herself in a room with Uncle Simi. I simply smiled at her and assured her that she was in safe hands. She requested that I take her home as it was now getting late. I did just that.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The following morning, I received a text message from Grace which read “Hello Uncle Sims, thanks for being there for me yesterday, maybe someday I will return the favour”. I simply responded by saying, “You are welcome to my friend”. For some strange reason, I felt good about myself. The motive to turn Grace into my side chick was still alive, the only difference was how I would go about it this time around.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">With each passing day, our friendship grew and we were frequently communicating. In one of our conversations, Grace spoke glowingly about how much she trusted me after realizing I hadn’t taken advantage of her on that day. I assured her that it was nothing and the thought of taking advantage of her state never even crossed my mind. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had won her over as a guy who could be trusted but I wanted more. I still needed to take advantage of that trust before some other guy took her off the market. This friendship we were enjoying needed to be transformed into a relationship.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One Sunday afternoon, I called Grace and reminded her of what she had said about letting her know if I ever needed a favour. I told her I was now in need of one. She said that was not a problem. I headed over to her place to pick her up. It was time. Time to return the favour. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; color: #7f7f7f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: red; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">CONCLUSION:</span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; color: #7f7f7f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: red; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0in; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon. </span><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is the loving-kindness of God that He has kept you alive till now.

In every city, town or nation where there is economic activities, there is money there, but you have to discover what the people need and some of their desires that you can supply at a profit.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All the money flowing in an economy is </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">happening in an exchange transaction. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Somebody Selling Something of value to another person. Whether it is a Doctor selling medical services or a trader selling auto parts to an Uber driver etc, you have to carefully study the economy in your location and decide what you have to sell to others in exchange for their money.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is money everywhere, but it will take foresight, feasibility and sometimes discernment to discover it, then strategy and hard work to key into it. As a Christian, what you see in the spirit is what you get. If you don't have great dreams, where you see yourself in some high position and in wealth, you may never climb to any significant height in life. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If that is your case, don't worry, I will guide you and God will help you. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">In this brief memo, we will look at how to discover money-making business opportunities in your environment. Discovering the idea is the most important first step, before you arrange to package it into a business, and of course marketing the product or service to make money.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We will also look at the 'Winning mindset' of a successful businessman or woman. Bear in mind that no lazy person can control wealth, only the strong in heart can control money. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is a relationship between risk-taking and making money, and i</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">t would be abnormal for a person who cannot take calculated risks to bust into money. If he does, he cannot manage it for long. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUNJayNztvB5uB7EvM7JfN41NAlLds698zC-pUzg1retN54KSImDnoYsxBflMX4P0rwVDHWMfegnXb1Bkwp4QxenyqmfDYsgWj0PIHzSfyYgznU-HQsyhwMFhUgJ_Qr1f1CEoHB7f6NfzKjZLltAUbuKPwM4cRpXPNGhS-kTMrCoFFSghUFRQyfZZEhmA/s275/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUNJayNztvB5uB7EvM7JfN41NAlLds698zC-pUzg1retN54KSImDnoYsxBflMX4P0rwVDHWMfegnXb1Bkwp4QxenyqmfDYsgWj0PIHzSfyYgznU-HQsyhwMFhUgJ_Qr1f1CEoHB7f6NfzKjZLltAUbuKPwM4cRpXPNGhS-kTMrCoFFSghUFRQyfZZEhmA/s1600/image.png" width="275" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>DISCOVERING A VIABLE BUSINES</b>S</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To build a successful business, you need more than a great idea. You have to be well organized, flexible, and creative, and pay close attention to the details while never losing sight of the big picture. You should also be prepared to make some personal sacrifices. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are different ways to discover a viable business to invest in. We will look at discovering a business undertaking from <b>"Your Passion"</b> and discovering a money-making business from <b>"What the Community Needs and Their Desires".</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Your Passion: </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In the business world, generating revenue and making money is the primary purpose of every business undertaking. Understanding the various avenues through which businesses make money is essential if you want to succeed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The primary goal is to create a product or provide a service that addresses a specific need in the market. However, for a business to thrive and survive in the long run, it must generate revenue and eventually become profitable.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In trying to turn your <b>PASSION</b> (Things you can do effortlessly, without stress) into business, You will need to determine what your Passion can produce as a product or service, then carry out research on the business to discover for yourself, whether it can produce enough money to take care of your needs. If your finding is positive, you can turn that passion of yours into a business.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You should only create a business around your passion if other people are willing to invest money into it, or If you discover there is a demand for that skill or service in the economy. Look at the segment of the population demanding the service and their financial capacity.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Finally, consider the business model and structure you will adopt in selling the service to your customers. Make sure you have understood the secrets of the business, and what people are demanding and why. Consider the financial resources needed to start the business at micro and small levels. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Consider also the existing competition in the marketplace in the 'Passion Business' you are interested in. Find out what those making money in the sector are doing, and what is forcing many in that business area to close down. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This may take some time and effort studying and interacting with practitioners, and learning what they do. But until you are satisfied with cash flow and service delivery aspects, don't venture into the business yet.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you have a passion for making good meals, that's okay. But you would find out the type of food that is moving fast in the environment, who are the people demanding the meals, at what price. Do the customers eat their food in the facility or prefer to take it away? Those that prefer to eat in your business place, what kind of environment would they like?</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If your passion is in making shoes, as it is in Aba, that's fine too. Discover the types of shoes that are moving fast in the market. Is it baby shoes, school children's back-to-school range of shoes, or adult male or female shoes. You will also consider which of these shoes you have passion for, and the equipment and materials required to produce them. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Where will the shoes be produced? The shop size and location etc. Where will they be sold? Do traders come from other states to the community to buy shoes or are you producing for only the community? You need answers for all these questions before you can go into that "Passion-driven" business.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Business Ventures Created from People's Needs and Desires: </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The other method is to investigate businesses around you to know the kind of cash flows they generate and the work involved. This is a painstaking process that will study businesses the person feels he/she can do. You may want to look at the Fast Food business, Courier company business, Frozen Food, Clothing and Fashion business etc. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The particular business chosen is then studied, in an apprenticeship capacity for years before funds are raised to finance the business idea. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">In other words, you have to study the business thoroughly for years and understand it's length and breadth.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Key to your success will depend on knowing sources of materials needed to produce goods and services, and production steps and stages. What are competitors in the sector doing that keeps customers coming? Will it be a sole product business or multiple products using the same production line e.g Coke and Fanta can be produced with the same production line for a starter. You can have indomie Chicken, onions and crayfish using the same line etc.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What price can the market pay for the products and services? Will the elites be ready for pay more for a premium variety? In children products, there's no premium, though product quality will determine its price. Make sure you have understood what does the market require and what you should produce and sell to meet their needs or satisfy their desire? </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sometimes, you are not necessarily required to produce, you can buy from the producers and make those products available to people who need them. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Recently, I travelled to my village in the Eastern part of Nigeria, and as usual, those dealing with building materials are flourishing and building new houses and diversifying their venture. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is because, the people make their money in the cities and return home to build wonderful houses in the village, paint and furnish the house. So, businessmen who can source building materials at fair prices and make them available are in for good business.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is not only building materials that have money, there are many other business areas where people are ready to pay a fair amount of money to fix a problem or satisfy a desire. Take farm support services, where a group of people clear the bush for planting, help farmers with actual planting, weeding and fertilizing their crops etc for a fee. You should know the market demands that you can satisfy at a profit and formalize it into a business.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another way to discover a business within your location is study the business activities going on in the City/Village. Is it farming, fishing, or processing of agricultural goods. Is the people's business activities connected to their natural resources like Crude Oil and Gas in the Niger Delta, or Mining different minerals as it is in the north? </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The materials and implements they use in carrying out their business will be in demand. What is their other needs and desire? To give their children a good education, and leisure and to live in good houses. These needs and desires will also be in demand in the community. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All money is made by someone selling the solution to a problem people want to solve or selling a desire people crave. You should understand that not all problems are money makers, and neither is every desire that people may have can be a viable business. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The problems and desires that are money-makers are the ones that people are willing to spend money on, and this must be an established fact. You have to go to the field, marketplaces and city centres to find out from people doing the business, how good the cashflow from the business is, before you conclude it's a money-making business.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When you see a company making good money, find out what problem they are solving for people and how they are going about the business. So, being able to identify money opportunities is the first and most important thing.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>The mindset of a Successful Entrepreneur</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Success requires adequate preparation, otherwise, it may not be guaranteed. Different factors play roles in getting a poor person into wealth, and different things, individuals will have to contribute to that dream. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It also depends on the person concerned, and how desperate and prepared he/she is to get out of poverty. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">In this regard, we will be looking at the mindset of a man desperate to make a success of his business venture.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Person's Mindset:</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The mindset of a person is those beliefs and myths the person has accepted as right and the way of life. They are assumptions, notions and beliefs he has bought as reality in his/her life, from parents, friends and society. A person's mindset will control his words and actions, that is why the bible said something: Guide your heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of life - Proverbs 4:23.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In developing a positive mindset for life and business, consider the following.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>1.</b> To be rich and successful, a person will not only guide his/her heart, but he also needs to equip it with sound knowledge of what is happening around him, as well as what is happening in the area of business he/she operates. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. Integrity - As a child of God, your heart must be loaded with Integrity that will last a lifetime, in business and outside the business - Proverbs 11:3 </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Integrity should guide your thoughts and actions to establish you as a trustworthy businessman or woman. In addition, you need to strengthen your social relationship skills. Keep yourself positive, cheerful and focused. Tell yourself that what is worth doing, is worth doing well.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>3.</b> Don't be afraid to fail: Even if you did poorly initially, continue until you can do it better. Don't be afraid of failure. Keep your mind positive always, learn from your own mistakes, and gradually develop the 'Winning pattern' that will give you an edge over your competitors.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>4. </b>Guide your thoughts carefully because the quality of your thinking will resonate with the quality of your products and services. The quality of your thinking determines the quality of your outcomes in life. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Consider what your competitors are doing better than you and look for ways to match them considering your financial resources. Never ignore the competition in the industry or what your contemporaries are doing.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>5. </b>Seek to understand the business you are doing or the products you are selling. When you understand the trade or business, you will be able to help people with questions, solve a problem or achieve a goal. Familiarize yourself with every detail of what you produce or sell and operate from the point of view of a Consultant or 'Problem Solver'.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>6.</b> Develop a professional attitude, be positive, patient and easygoing, be a strategic thinker, and set goals for what you want to see happen within a time frame. Plan your work and work the plan. Decide also the strategy to be adopted and review progress continually.

When I say the wonders of His handwork, I mean<i> </i>that everything God created has levels and differences. There are different varieties of the same thing, from birds to sea animals, human beings and plants. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Even in men, you have differences of colour, height, hair and other visible features. God is simply great and </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">His doings with man is good in all circumstances. He is the God who forgives your sins and wrongdoings, heals when you are sick, protects and delivers you from evil. He is the God that gives you the power to get wealth and connects you to men who will make it happen.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He cares for you and answers the prayers of those who trust in Him. God does not forget your labour of love in His Vineyard, from the smallest person to the Bishop, God remembers everyone's contribution. Some people may consider cleaning the church toilet as demeaning for them, but God rewards the boy or girl who does that dirty job with joy in his/her heart. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Those who spend their money in making phone calls to 'Visitors to the church, others visiting new members to encourage and strengthen them, evryone will surely be rewarded by God accordingly. What about those vibrant for souls and who spend their time witnessing Christ and inviting people to church, none will loose their reward. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The same goes to brethren who sponsor church mission outreaches, and those who participate in these evangelistic activities, God remembers all, and woulf at the appropriate time for each person, God will visit them one by one.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When you consider how God trains us in His Word and His doctrines for holy living you will agree that God knows the end from the beginning, and nothing can be hidden from Him. He knows that zeal is not enough, knowledge and maturity will help the young believer to stand off satanic temptations and enticements. He allows us to pass through the valley of the shadow of death, so we will encounter His grace first-hand.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He is truly an all-knowing and eternal God - Psalms 90:2. When you look at His provisions to make man comfortable, the fruits, vegetables and plants created and planted by God to help men live a comfortable life, you can only wonder in amazement.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">God is kind, He gave us the freedom to choose what is good for us. He knows His plan for everyone He created, and that plan is for good, but the volition to choose, He did not restrict from us. We have the freedom to choose what is good for us. That's why Moses told the Israelites to choose to live. the options of God remain the same. If you choose to obey your God and harken to His commandments, you shall live. But if you choose to disregard God and go after your own folly, death is already knocking at your door.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He is interested in what is happening to us and provides for us, guiding our thoughts and actions. The Lord generally watches over us. The Bible says His goodness and mercies endure forever. That means that till Christ returns, God will continually be merciful to man, who is like a flower to Him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Almighty keep both His general and specific mercies toward us. The promises made in the Bible and those specific promises He made to individuals are all kept by God. To the living, God's faithfulness starts when he wakes up from sleep and discovers he is alive in the land of the living. That is a proof of His love and faithfulness. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It means that you can continue the good things you are doing. For people who have not known Him, it's another opportunity to return to God and confess your sins. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">In Psalms 92:1-2, the bible says it is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises unto His name, for the Lord showeth His loving kindness in the morning and His faithfulness every night. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here are some undeniable facts that the Lord is good.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">His gifts are Eternal: </b><span style="font-family: verdana;"> The gifts of God are without repentance, whatever gifts God deem fit to endow a person stays with him forever. If you are a talented Musician, even in your old age, your voice will still be glowing. God gives people talent and special gifts to enable them to fulfil God's purpose for their creation. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Imagine if the gifts were to be paid for or acquired through the school system, many of those gifted today will not be so talented. Imagine for one minute that the gifts were temporal in nature and imagine the chaos man will have to deal with.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Each person is created unique: </b> God manifested His goodness in our lives by creating each person differently. From your DNA to your likes and tastes, everyone is created unique. Two children from the same parent do not have the same destiny and way of life. Nxt to being different, God deals with us individually.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>God's Word is settled:</b> The word of God, which is God Himself is settled in heaven. They do not vary with time and season. Has the Lord spoken anything, it will surely come to pass. As a matter of fact, every other thing can change, heaven and earth can pass away, but no iota of God's word would change. That is because God is unchanging, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. This is the assurance human beings made in God's image need to be assured that God cannot change.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">An unchangeable God, an eternal and everlasting God is worthy of our trust and worship.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>His Love is Awesome:</b> God loves the world so much that He sends His Son, Jesus to come and rescue us from the darkness of this world. He cares for everything that is happening to us and whatever troubles us concerns Him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>God cares:</b> He is the heavenly Father you can take any matter to, no matter how insignificant it may be, He is interested in everything happening to us. He wants to know the challenges we are facing in life. To those who are living right, God's ears are continually open to their cry for mercy and help and God satisfies them.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>He sent us the Holy Spirit:</b> His love and care know no bounds for those who have received His Son as Lord and Saviour. He sent us another Comforter that will play the role of Christ in their lives, a Teacher of Righteousness, and guidance and one that will reveal secrets to us as we journey this wicked world. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The gift of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ is one of the most important gifts God gave us. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Also, the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives was specified and broad to reform us make us conformable to the will of God and seal us unto the coming of the Lord.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is an established fact that no one can love like God, whose love for man started before conception and stayed strong until the end of a man's life on earth.

Study and meditate the Word</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">10. Pray the Scriptures.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Everything we receive from God is in response to our faith, except what God has ordained to give to us. Whether it is money or ideas to make money, God will give to us according to our faith in Him. The Bible is full of scriptures about your financial increase, wealth and prosperity and we are going to explore the Bible for what to do when we need money from God. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you’re praying for a financial breakthrough, or money making ideas from God, there’s no better place to turn than to God’s word. As believers, when we read, meditate and memorize God’s Word concerning money, we’ll find answers to receiving the money we need. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The process is faith-driven and action oriented. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Showing Mercy:</b> The bible says a lot about showing mercy to others in need. God loves a man or woman with a compassionate heart towards those in need. This is because any mercy shown to the poor, widows and the fatherless, are regarded as lending to God. God is the Husband to widows of Zion, He is the Father to the fatherless.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When you show mercy on people in difficult situation continually, you become a candidate for God's favour. God will surround your life with favour as a shield. That means that when you are in need, God will raise men to help you at the nick of time.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Giving:</b> The word of God says, give and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down and running over will men give unto you. When you need money from the Creator, it will be helpful for you to be kind to others. Even when you don't have much, the desire to share that little thing you know is not enough for your need is a sacrifice before God. T</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">hat is because, you are not giving from your abundance, but from your lack.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I remember once when I visited a relative in the village. and during our conversation she informed me that she needed money to travel to Lagos to keep an important appointment, and the money was not available. I had to cut short my own plans right there in order to finance her trip to Lagos. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That is sacrificial giving because it caused me some inconveniences. Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back - Luke 6:38</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Be a liberal giver, “As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion…”- 2 Corinthians 9:9–11 :</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Men and women who enjoy the favour of God are freewill givers, even if it is their last Naira/Dollar. Give people good support that will move their life or situation forward. It could be money, time or skills that you have. You are expected to give what you have, and as you do so, God will put you in remembrance. All must give as they are able, according to the blessings given to them by the Lord your God - Deuteronomy 16:17</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Faithfulness in Tithe and Offering:</b> I speak from the bible and personal experience. Whoever is faithful in paying his/her Tithe and offerings in the Church, to see that the work of God is moving forward will surely be blessed, especially when such money is from a clean source. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The book of Malachi 3:9-10 says "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!" - Malachi 3:8-10</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Honouring the Lord</b> with our seed bring financial blessing to us. The scriptures cannot be broken, and it says "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine" - Proverbs 3:9-10</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Fulfiling our vows</b> to God is another simple principle that brings favour and financial blessings. Through the financil contributions we make, we partner with God for the progress of His work, winning souls and taking people from darkness to light. You are expected to give what you have, and sometimes what God put in your heart to give. When you need money from God, fulfill your tithe and offering obligtions, redeem any vows you have made in your church and any other church in the past.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Many people make vows and later forget their vows and leave them unfulfiled, God is not happy with such attitude. Whenever you make a vow before God or in the congregation, fulfil them.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Seed Offerings: </b>Be careful to see a need in the house of God and be determined to fix that problem. Even when you don't have the money, if you see a need, you can ask God for a financial blessing to fix that problem. If you pray and say "O'Lord God, if you give my N10million, I will buy a big generator and install air-conditions in the church auditorium, that will reduce the heat condition during our Sunday services which is overbearing on people. When God see your sincerity of purpose, He will send the money to you, at least to test you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you receive that money and invest them in the work you have vowed before God to do, you passed the test and also enter into a new level with God. God will see you as someone He can trust with more for His works. God will begin to pass huge amount of money through for the propagation of His kingdom works, and your life will never be the same again.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Restitution:</b> Restitution is an act of repentance from a wrong decision or judgement. Sometimes its repentance from a sinful act. When you steal anything from someone, or you took what does not belong to you. Sometimes put in your care that does not belong to you is not available for you to take home and convert to your use.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sometimes, traders give you change in excess of what it should be in the market. At other times, they make mistake in their calculation of what you are buying and ask you to pay an amount less than the goods you took. Whenever you notice such an error, as a Believer, you are expected to pay the correct amount, and when you failed to pay it in the market, you must go back to the market and return the money to the trader. If you don't order your steps in that way, when the Trader cries to God, He will be angry with you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Whatever you took carelessly without permission, quickly return those things to make your ways straight before God and God will released money and ideas for greatness upon your life. That is godliness in practice and God loves and rewards godly living. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Fasting with Seed:</b> This fasting with seed idea cme to me as I was meditating and writing this message. It goes thus: Calculate your cost of feeding for three days and sow it as a Seed Offering for financial favour or breakthrough as you may like, then go ahead and fast for three days with water or completely dry. Three days dry fasting with water is also healthy.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Within the three days you are fasting, specify what you need from God. Make sure it is what is in your heart that you are asking God to give you. The reason is simple. When God comes down, to answer your prayers, He will look at your heart, not necessarily what you are asking that is not in your heart, so ask for what is in your heart.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Keep your Secrets: </b> When you are expecting money from God, please keep your secrets to yourself. Disclosing your needs and your plans to people could work against your plans. The agents of the devil are united in sharing information at their disposal to those among them working against you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Even when you see a good vision of things to come, or you heard the word of knowledge or prophesy, do not disclose them to anyone. They could take the matter to their master to divert or destroy the blessing. Keep your plans and strategies to yourself. Even the steps you have started and the things that has happened must be kept secret from the enemy. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The first target is the people around you and those who seem are sympathic to your cause. If they belong to darkness (as Witches or Wizards) your information could be used against you or your benefactor.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Studying and Meditating the Word. </b> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The traditional approach to obtaining what you want from God remains that you have to study and meditate on the Word and then pray them into your life. It is still valid approach to reciving from God. This approach works for people who trust in the Lord and His power to do all things. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It works for people who are not desperate for result, who know that God does not come late to any occassion, and that whenever God shows up is the appointed time for that request.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Starting from God's provisions, you will review relevant scriptures and begin to apply them in your everyday life. Understand that when you ask God for money, He will send someone to bless you with cash (When it is urgent) or give you money-making ideas. Study and meditate on the many assurances God has given us in the Bible to assure yourself that God will come through for you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>God’s Provision: </b>Study and meditate on the awesome promise of God contained in deteronomy 28:1-12 and see the result of obedience to the word of God. It is an assurance that if you will believe God and act on His word and instruction, God will surely fulfil His promises to you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: verdana;">“The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.” <b>Deteronomy 28: 1-12</b></span></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Philippians 4:19</b>: And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here, Apostle Paul is assuring you that God that has faithfully taken care of his needs in every place he went to witness Christ, will take care of you when you walk in His will. What you do should be in the will of God for your life. That is, are you doing what God created you to do? If yes, God will supply all your needs and you will bless His name.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>2 Corinthians 9:8</b>: And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This scripture encourages you to ask God for what you need because He is a generous Giver, who gives us more than what we imagine or think of. Many times, God gives us more than what we asked for.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Jeremiah 17:7-8:</b> But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by the long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This scripture assures you of the blessed state of those who trust in the Lord with all their heart.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Prayer:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Prayer starts with confession of our sins and repenting over them all. Confession is followed by amendment, i.e correcting some of our deeds that can be corrected, like returning over-payments made to you in error, books you rented and kept etc.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is always a good practice to pray the scriptures your spirit received as relevant to your request. So scan the bible and discover where men asked God for money or other things and use the prayers those men prayed. This works because God is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did for James, He will do for John, given the same conditions.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">While praying and fasting, believe you have already received your answers and they will be yours. After your prayer begin to confess positive words of faith and trust.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red; font-family: verdana;">CONCLUSION:</span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0in; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon. </span><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is the loving-kindness of God that He has kept you alive till now.

He has all the powers of the Most High. The Holy Spirit knows all things including the hidden mysteries of God Luke 1:35.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Holy Spirit is not just the power of God, He is God Almighty Himself. There's no other person who is eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient other than God. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">By learning more about the Holy Spirit, you are learning more about God, and by seeking the Holy Spirit, you are seeking God. The Holy Spirit speaks to individual children of God and the Church of God. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We must learn how to hear Him. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">If we listen to Him, we will hear Him. If our spiritual eyes and ears are open, hearing Him will be easy. He wants to speak to us every time, and do speak to us, but we are not ready to hear Him. He is the Spirit of God sent to help us in our earthly journey, as the Comforter and Helper.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Holy Spirit is willing to dwell inside of you if you're ready to make space for Him. If you're ready to speak the truth always, obey His promptings and commands. His assignment is to make you a better person, like your Saviour Jesus Christ.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you're ready to open yourself to Him and obey His commands, He will come to dwell in your body. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">When that happens, you will realize that it is God dwelling in you. He will quickly renew your mind and cause you to see things differently. You will no longer be led by the flesh, the things you see and read, instead the word of God will guide your actions,</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When the Holy Spirit dwells in you, you will experience Holy Ghost baptism and be clothed with powers. The Holy Spirit is a sensitive Spirit of God. He is holy, pure and undefiled, and so the brother or sister the Holy Spirit will dwell in his/her life must live holy and walk uprightly. He cannot live in a dirty vessel - Dirty in thoughts, conversation and actions. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A believing Christian should be humble and obedient to the Word of God and the commands of the Holy Spirit. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">We have to reverence the Holy Spirit for the many helps He renders to us in our daily lives. He helps us to pray better, intercede for us before God, and helps us to preach and share the gospel. </span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Holy Spirit is a personality, who have feeling and emotions. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">We, as believers, should always acknowledge and welcome the Holy Spirit and live holy. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">In business, He guides our decision to invest wisely, exposes the hidden risks in an asset etc.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Righteousness, which is a free gift from God will begin to flourish in your heart and lifestyle. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">That gift of righteousness can only find expression in the life of a Christian who is possessed by the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that leads us unto righteous living. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If we live and practice righteousness, the power and authority of a righteous man will be released upon us. It is the same with Love, faith and love for God. Also, </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">If we live holy, the power and authority of a holy servant will be released upon us. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are laws and rules governing everything on earth. Also, t</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">here are benefits and authorities attached to everything we obey and practice. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">God created and ordained all things and put them on auto mode.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The one you meet its rules and conditions, its power, benefit and authority follow you. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When you have authority in the spirit, you will decree a thing and it is established unto you. You can also speak things into existence, just as your heavenly Fathers do. Beloved, when you allow the Holy Spirit to work through you and you, your transformation will be clear for people to see, above all these, the Holy Spirit </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">will put the mark of Christ on you. When you have the seal of God, you are His, and agents of darkness will recognize you, and run from them.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The secret of receiving and walking with the Holy Spirit is to submit to the Holy Spirit, so He may work through your life, and He does, everything is possible for you. He is the enabler of all good things in the kingdom of God. You will experience a change of heart and thinking. The Holy Spirit will transform your thoughts from worldly and dark to heavenly and light.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If we can learn how to forsake the love for the things of this world, then we can easily deny ourselves (Positions, wealth, pleasures of life) and carry our cross and follow the Lord - Luke 9:23. That is when your life as a Christian begins to have significance. You will be able to accomplish things like sharing the gospel and praying for the sick and they will be healed with ease.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Let's remember that the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit will depart from us if we abandon Christ and return to our wicked ways. Every Believer needs the Holy Spirit because no spiritual progress can be made without Him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: red; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">CONCLUSION:</span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0in; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon. </span><span style="background: 0px 0px transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is the loving-kindness of God that He has kept you alive till now.

Lawyers told this newspaper that Mr Oti’s action was not illegal but raised questions about the use or abandonment of public properties.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The governor’s decision to operate from his private residence in his village has placed a financial burden on the Abia State Government with about N2 million spent monthly for fueling of vehicles of state officials who travel to the village for meetings.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">‘Why I operate from my private residence’</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Addressing reporters on Tuesday through his spokesperson, Kazie Uko, Mr Otti said he preferred operating from his private residence to save cost instead of “lavishing” public funds to renovate the governor’s lodge within the old Government House, Vanguard newspaper reported.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Mr Otti suggested that both the old and the new government complexes were in bad condition and that they “require serious funds” to be put in order. The governor claimed that he decided to sacrifice his personal comfort so as to be able to attend to the “urgent needs of the state with positive impacts” on the masses.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He also claimed that the new governor’s lodge commissioned by the administration of the former governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu, on the eve of his handover day, was yet to be completed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Despite video evidence published, Mr Otti claimed that the new Government House building was “hurriedly” commissioned by Mr Ikpeazu’s administration without completion “with cables dangling everywhere” and “without power supply.”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">“This is the multi-billion Abia New Government House they said Gov.

The four sub-sectors are rail transport and pipelines, water transport, air transport and transport services.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Road transport, a major contributor to the industry, is also in recession as the sub-sector contracted by 43.65 per cent in Q3 from a negative growth of 55.1 per cent in the previous quarter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> “The biggest contributor to the decline in road transport is the subsidy removal,” Muda Yusuf, chief executive officer of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, said. “The state of the roads is also contributing to it because when you look at the roads in many parts of the country, they are in a bad shape.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ayodeji Ebo, managing director of Afrinvest Securities Limited, said due to higher prices in petroleum products, the devaluation of the naira, and higher crude oil prices, the growth in the transportation sector stayed in the negative.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“The higher transportation cost will reduce customers’ demand and road transport owners’ margins. However, we expect this to improve in the fourth quarter due to the festive season,” he said.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">President Bola Tinubu in May scrapped a costly but popular petrol subsidy and lifted currency controls in June, which he said was to save the country from going under. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The removal of the fuel subsidy tripled the petrol price to N617 from N184, causing public transportation providers such as buses, tricycles and motorcycles to raise transportation fares. This situation affected those who rely on public transportation, particularly workers in the private sector.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">With higher transportation fares, many Nigerians are forced to allocate a substantial portion of their salaries to cover commuting expenses, leaving little for other essential needs like food and rent. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Adeola Adenikinju, a professor of economics and president of the Nigerian Economic Society, said the real income of consumers has gone down, causing the demand for transport services to reduce. “People are just managing the whole situation.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“The cost of fuel and maintaining vehicles has increased. And the capital stocks or the investment in the sector are very old. The terrible state of roads is being neglected by the government coupled with insecurity,” he said.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">A breakdown of the NBS report revealed that four of the six sub-activities under the transport and storage industry recorded positive growth. The four sub-sectors are rail transport and pipelines, water transport, air transport and transport services.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">According to Samuel Odewumi, a professor and past dean of Lagos State University’s School of Transport and Logistics, transportation is a derived demand and when the transportation sector freezes, the entire economic life of the country comes to a halt, as it is like the bloodstream for the economy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Data from the NBS shows that the average retail price paid by consumers for petrol in May was N238.1, an increase of 162.9 per cent in September (N626.2).

These are forces of good like Divine Interventions from the throne of mercy and grace.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In this piece, we are going to address failures in life by, first looking at the forces that activate favour, and poverty in the lives of people. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">These are the invisible forces provoked by our personal mistakes, the words we speak and actions, the errors of our parents, and other forces in the environment and so on. We will examine the following:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>1. Inherited Goodwill</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">An inherited goodwill is what a person enjoys when you declare the son of whom you are, to a person, whom your parents have favoured in the past. Yes, the people your father or mother helped in the past will be willing to help you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That goodwill works like magic, the person will be ready to give you whatever you need that is within his/ her reach. He/she will gladly give it to you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>2. Seeking the good of Others</b>:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is another force, the good deeds you have done for people generally. If you're someone who deliberately seeks the good of others and helps people in need with your skills, advice and other services free of charge, such an attitude procures favour for you, either shortly or in the future.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There will be an occasion in the future when the person you're helping today will mention you to another person, and the result will shock you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All these illustrations I making here, I have personally experienced them and can assure you they work. Favour is life and one of the fastest ways to break through in life is to be nice, and helpful to people.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>3. The Force of Prayer</b>:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There's yet the force of prayer that procures favour for you. Yes, when you cry to God for help with all your heart, in faith. God will show up for you because God cannot ignore the prayer of faith, especially when you are in His will for your life.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>The Anti-success Powers:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are anti-success Powers that work against progress. These are forces of failure that target people's efforts at marriage, business and even career.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">These are powers of Satan, unseen to the physical but very stubborn against their target. A person makes progress for a while, and then, an unexpected event occurs that completely reverses his progress. The result is frustration, confusion and hopelessness.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Poverty Spirit</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(55, 176, 186); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-attachment: scroll; border: 0px solid rgb(55, 176, 186); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: verdana;">The “poverty spirit” is rooted in the victim's mindset as a stronghold.

That is because when we receive the Holy Spirit, all grace and blessings come through Him. With His guidance, we are able to serve God acceptably. It is important fo the Spirit of God to guide us in everything we do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is a link between salvation and the Holy Spirit. Salvation is a gift of God and salvation also means having eternal life, the life of Christ and living forever through Christ. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, so when we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive the life of Christ and we also have eternal life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The purpose of this publication is to further share with the readers, the person and importance of receiving the Holy Spirit and being guided by Him. I pray the Lord will grant you understanding.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>The Holy Spirit</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jesus speaking in John 3:6 says "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit". The Spirit quicken us to do the will of God and other actions that are beneficial to us.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To please God, our actions must be Spirit-led, for no one can inherit the kingdom of Heaven through the works of the flesh. All works resulting from man's effort will turn to dust.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, the Holy Ghost and His Spirit are at the centre of our relationship with God. He's the Spirit of God that knows the mind of God and searches all things. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is the Holy Spirit that seals our redemption in Christ till the end of our journey on earth and anyone that have not the Spirit of Christ, is not His own.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>JESUS CHRIST</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When Jesus was born, He was born of the Holy Spirit. He was led to the wilderness by the Holy Spirit.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He waited for the Holy Spirit for 30 years, so He would not be alone or struggle. A child of God who is not conscious of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit will surely struggle for many things.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As it was for Christ, our example, so it is for all of us. Whether we are ministers of the gospel or not, we need the presence and help of the Holy Spirit every day of our lives.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In Luke 4:18-18, Jesus entered the synagogue and the scripture He opened attested to this fact. It says the Spirit of the Lord is upon me ...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Bible speaking in Luke 4:14-15 says Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit and taught in their synagogue and everyone praised Him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jesus Christ who created the world and held authority over all things depended on the power of the Holy Spirit, how much more mortal beings like us.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Holy Spirit behaves exactly like Jesus Christ. He was sent to replace the physical presence of Jesus Christ in the lives of the Believers. So that while the believer may not see Christ in person, we can feel His presence by His Spirit dwelling in us.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are many names of Jesus Christ which apply to the Holy Spirit. Jesus is called the Morning Star, He is the Sun of Righteousness. Christ brings light into darkness according to 2 Peter 1:19. When light comes into darkness, darkness cannot comprehend it, so it will have to go.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Isaiah 9:2 talks about people who walked in darkness seeing a great light, which light is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and whenever light appears in the darkness, the light drives away darkness. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is the same with Jesus Christ. Wherever the Lord appears, whatever is contrary disappears. It might be hunger, sorrow or grief.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Both Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit share the name Comforter. Jesus in His earthly ministry was known to comfort many people in distress.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The woman with the issue of blood is one of them, She bled for 12 years until she came to Jesus and got her healing. All the people who were in sorrow before going to Jesus Christ received their healing and comfort.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Christ and Romans 8:9 says "The wind bloweth where it listed, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jesus has been the Comforter of the Believers since creation, and when He was about to depart and return to the Father, He promised to send us another Comforter, someone who would do exactly what He would have done.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That Comforter is the Holy Spirit, who would live in us and be with us forever. </span><span>J</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">esus said the Holy Spirit will come and dwell with us forever. That tells you that without the Holy Spirit working in a life, such a person can hardly please God.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is the Holy Spirit of God in us that enables us to communicate with God easily, and whenever God wants to talk to us, He talks to us through the Holy Spirit who is living inside us. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That is how and why someone can say "Thus says the Lord", and nobody would ask him to shut up. We know that God talks to us through His Spirit living inside us and no other person will hear the conversation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Holy Spirit is the Teacher of the Word of God. Just as Jesus Christ is a Teacher, so the Holy Spirit is. Jesus says the Holy Spirit will tell us the things to come, He is the revealer of the future in addition to teaching the scripture. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Do you know why He teaches the scriptures better than any man? He inspired the writing of the Bible and knows the mind of God and His purpose in every scripture.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, for all the questions about the scriptures which even your Pastor or bible teachers cannot explain, the Holy Spirit will explain them to you. The Holy Spirit will give you full details of any difficult question you may have if you ask Him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As our guide and Teacher, the Holy Spirit shows us the way to go, when we are in doubt, or when the way is full of thorns and danger. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">His guardian makes life so easy that everyone who has encountered the help and direction of the Holy Spirit knows that His importance in our lives is not negotiable. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In Romans 8:14, the bible says "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God". Without the Spirit of God living inside of you, you are not a son or daughter of God.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To that extent, the Holy Spirit directs us where to work, who to marry </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">and even the type of business to do. When you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you, He will reveal secrets that others do not know to you, and it will be difficult for fraudsters to scam you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If the Holy Spirit is active in your life, revelation will be a regular experience in your life. He will tell you what to do in business, what assets to invest in and the things to come in that business, so you can plan ahead and succeed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Holy Spirit is God in you. He is the Spirit of Christ, your Comforter and intercessor. He prays for the believers - Romans 8:26. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>BEFORE ASCENSION</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To underscore the importance of the Holy Spirit in the lives of His disciples, Jesus told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the gift of the Father, the Holy Spirit, which God had promised. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For John baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit Acts 1:4-5. We cannot ignore the Holy Spirit, whom Christ mentioned and recommended to us if we want to please God.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div> </div><div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: red;">CONCLUSION</span></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon.

The Transformation proper</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Introduction</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Life can be a challenging experience for many people. There are people who have not been exposed to God and the things of God all their lives. Born in an unbelieving family, they know nothing about the bible or how to obey its instructions.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For people like that, when difficult situations come their way, their response is always worldly, using what you have to get what you want. Many women engaged in prostitution are victims of circumstances of life. There are others who were greedy for money and wanted to belong to the 'happening class' of their time and environment.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">However, many ladies who are doing Hookups today who have come to hate their condition and the fact that Hookup is a dead end. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you find yourself among those ladies, this piece is for you. In God, all things are possible to those who believe. God is able to deliver you and separate you from and conditions of life you do not want. But, you must believe Him and trust Him to help you.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Virtuous Woman</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The characteristics of a virtuous woman have been explored in the bible and explained in Proverbs 31. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">It starts with the definition of the beauty of such a woman, which lies within. This beauty is one of the distinguishing factors standing for the virtuous woman. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is a beauty developed out of good character and caring for the things of God and her family. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">For a virtuous woman, her outward beauty reflects her inward beauty and faith in God.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Men, her brethren and relatives are responsible for their own thoughts and actions, but at the same time, they are visual beings and tend to be influenced easily by what they see.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is able to handles her body and dressing with discretion, knowing her duty of care before God to her immediate community. To that extent, she cannot be found with a revealing outfit. She understands modest dressing and the pressure on men when a woman is seductively dressed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is kind and respectful enough to herself and her neighbours, treats her appearance with utmost importance, stays healthy and ensures the same for her whole family.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>She helps others</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is hospitable, generous, and kind. Kindness is about more than nice words and pleasant smiles. She makes herself available for people to seek counsel and advice.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is a wise spender and when it becomes necessary, she can spend time and money for other people. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is a woman of faith and loves the Lord and His word. For her, the word of God is the final say on any matter and that's what she teaches her children.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Pure Heart:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Next to being a woman of faith, she keeps her heart pure from defilement and filthiness. If she is single, she will discourage sex before marriage as the word of God preaches and plays to the rules of Courtship when she is engaged with a brother. She is conscious of her relationship with God and the presence of the Holy Spirit with her.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She generally:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. Respects her parents. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. Respect your husband and her children.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. She would deliberately cultivate virtues and practise them till they become part of her lifestyle. These are the qualities that distinquishes the virtuous woman from all others. She lives her life in accordance with the word of God and seeks to please God in everything she do.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bad girls</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A bad girl is a product of many factors, her family background, friends and relatives. Her personality reflects the many contradictions of life, the things she has been exposed to and her personal choice. When a greedy person is exposed to cheap ways of making money, she will choose it, no matter the risks involved.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Also, if a person of low morality is exposed to illicit ways of making money, she will celebrate it and join them immediately. So these factors come together to define many of the girls we call bad girls. They are girls that are comfortable with using their body to make a living, despite to dangers of contacting sexually transmitted diseases. The risk of being a victim of ritual killings does not frighten them, not to mention exchange of destiny through money and sex.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Despite the risks, these ladies hide to practise prostitution, while others are comfortable doing it in the open, even on social media. At the social media level, recovery becomes so difficult, from the human point of view because they have lost a good sense of value for their bodies. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Yet, there are many in this business that desire to be different. Many of them have traced the root causes of their problem and how they got into Hookup with a lot of regrets. For some, it was ignorance that brought them there, while it was hardship and the thought that there was nobody to help them. For everyone that desires change, change will come to them in Jesus name.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All the drama of depending on men, spending hours on social media advertising their body, snapping pictures and twerking can come to an end by a decision to repent and seek God's help and transformation.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Such a decision for Christ will bring freedom because such a girl will soon recover her old self. She will do away with hustling from one location to another to please men at the risk of their health and safety. The risk of sleeping out of the house for days and weeks, without anything to show for it will be over for good. God is able to do all things for them that believe.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are one of them and you are wondering how you can change your lifestyle and become a respectable wife and a good mother, you will have to humble yourself and repent of your sins and believe God a miracle. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here's how to approach the change you desire:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Decide to change</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. You have to come to the point where you hate the Hookup business and everything about it. Tell yourself it's over with Hookup.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. Then begin to plan an alternative means of livelihood for your life. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is a way that the desire for change works. It will make you hate the business and the proceeds from it. This is the freedom you need to think straight about the alternative means of livelihood. Jesus Christ in the bible warned the Pharisees and the Scribes that prostitutes will go into the kingdom of heaven before them because the moment a prostitute decides to leave the business of prostitution, she is done with it. She will live the rest of her life for God.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, consider giving your heart to Christ in a living Church and follow after the things of God. This will give you peace of mind and the Spirit of God will counsel you along the way, on what steps and things to do, and what to avoid. You continually ask for God's mercy and help. Tell Him that you want to live your life for Him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There will be temptations, and lack of basic things at the initial time as you leave your 'comfort zone', your friends and acquaintances. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">You will have to pray more often to God, persistent prayer will bring you closer to God and the Lord, Jesus Christ will become your friend.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Regular and consistent prayer will be presence of God real in your life. In your present location and the new place you may relocate to, make sure you find a Bible-believing church to join, for your spiritual growth.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Alternative Income Streams</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. Depending on the lady involved, her family and her academic background, she can choose to boldly visit a female-denominated business and volunteer to help them, market their products etc for income. The income may just be enough to cover her feeding and transportation. In Nigeria and indeed Africa, such a lady should go to big markets and look for market-based businesses looking for helping hands.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. If she loves children, she should go to daycare, Nursery and primary schools around her and seek employment. This Daycare job option is open to ladies with secondary school leaving certificate, so anyone can start with that. Some daycare facilities have accomodation, which can be a plus for her.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. She can also look for importers and distributors of FMCG in her city and market their 'slow-moving products' to prospective shops and businesses at a commission.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Relocation and Accommodation</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of the most important decisions to contend with after deciding to stop Hookup is to find a new environment to relocate to. A place where you are not known, away from your usual company of Hookup ladies living together and flowing together.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Traditionally, Hookup ladies live with their friends and work together in groups or as a team in cities away from where their parents live. The decision could be to return to your parent's house or a friendly and understanding relative, especially born-again relatives.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Whether you choose to return to your parents or a born-again relative, make sure you declare newfound faith and love for God, and how you have decided to live your life for Christ from that moment forward. This confession will help you to remain faithful to your word and confession when you face temptations to backslide.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Keep on studying the Word of God daily and praying. Pray without season and make Christ your Friend and Lord. The repentance and works of repentance will win you friends, old and new. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">A new set of Friends</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You will need a set of new friends that will motivate and encourage you. If you relocate back to your parent's house, make your mum the first of such friends. With your mum, you can share your life with her and know she will support you with prayer and all other things. No one can understand your situation better than your mother, so as a woman, make your mother your friend.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You also need Bible-believing sisters in a Living Church who will encourage you spiritually and help you understand the scriptures and how to apply them in your life. Most importantly, avoid high-class girls in the new church you find yourself, because many of them could be secretly doing hookups, while still praising the Lord in the church. You don't need any friends with corrupt minds, or those that will intimidate your with money and cause you to backslide.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Guide your faith and salvation from fake brothers and sisters in the church, who may suggest wrong options for you, where to go for solution when they know your challenges. Guide your heart and your tongue, pray that God establish your faith, business or employment, so you will gladly serve Him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Integrate yourself into the family of God</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Having gone through these stages, you are now established in Christ and other areas of life. Even if you are not making much money, you have enough to take care of yourself, then it's time to get serious with God and the things of God.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You are ready to be integrated into the family of God on earth where things begin to happen for you as you ask for it. Where grace will triumph over your sins and curses of old.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is the stage when the lady begins to study the bible deeper, prays deeper and obeys the word better. This is the stage when the lady begins to live a confident and bold Christian life. She gets to understand the marriage covenants, rules and expectations of marriage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The second part of this piece will explain how she leaves her past behind and builds her life on godliness and Christian virtues and values that make her a virtuous woman and wife. Glory to God!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: red;">CONCLUSION</span></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon.

What is uppermost in their mind is that their man is kind and loving. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some ladies will even accept a proposal without even asking for courtship of even six months to understudy each other and ask questions. They are hoping to fix whatever comes up as a challenge in the marriage. This is very risky as you will see from this real-life story, that you should ask all relevant questions and obtain answers before making a marriage proposal and accepting same.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sometimes, it could be the woman suspecting her husband, or vice versa. For a Christian, the way to go is to speak the truth always. The solution to the problem will come from the truth being made known.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">The story:</b><span style="font-family: verdana;"> This is a conversational piece on marriage written to help those planning to get married soon, as well as those already in marriage, but feel their spouse took advantage of their innocence, or ignorance during their days of courtship.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Remember that Courtship allows the brother and sister to get to know each other better and then decide whether they can work together as husband and wife, more importantly as one, after marriage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, during courtship, truth, honesty and the whole truth are expected from both of them. Needless to say during that period, the brother and sister should stick to the rules and make sure no secret is kept away from each other.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Mr. Olawale:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can imagine the surprise Mr Olawale had to deal with after the marriage, he observed that his wife with whom he had a six-month courtship, who said she had kept herself from men in the last year still had the phone number of two of her Ex-boyfriends in her phone.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Upon closer investigation, he also discovered that she has kept their communication active on WhatsApp, and recently got some money transferred to her account from one of the men in Abuja. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The worst of his nightmares is that his wife who had no male friends had an unexplainable sex drive. The type they describe as hypersexuality. The high libido is so high that Mr Olawale is feeling insecure if for any reason work should take him out of town for a week, whether his wife can cope without him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Questions and Answers:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Q1</b>.

Discover each other</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Love is important in marriage. It is demonstrated in help and tolerance exhibited on a daily basis towards each other. It is part of love to know your duties and obligations in marriage. When there is love, it's easy to discover each person's strengths and weaknesses and learn over time, how to provide support and assistance when needed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>2. The Wife is the 'heart' of the Husband</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The husband is not just the head of the home, he is the head of the wife, in a matrimonial arrangement between the man, his wife, and the Lord. Submission is a key issue and women should understand that as they submit to their husbands, the men will also submit to them in love and kindness. Submission is mutual in the long run.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>3. No Alcohol</b> - Drinking alcohol is a red flag for both single and married ladies. Avoid it because of the danger and harm it can cause to you and your marriage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>4. No Cheating - Infidelity</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A lot of Christian brethren make a vow of Chastity before the Lord before getting into marriage. This is good because it will make you fear Him and avoid compromising positions and actions. God forbids unfaithfulness, and men hate to share their wives with other men. Infidelity destroys trust in marriage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>5. Be one in the Spirit</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you marry a believer, who fears the Lord, both of you will find it easy to agree on issues. But if one of the couples is an unbeliever, believing good behaviour can convert the other person. So, even if there is a divergence of opinion, a spirit-minded believer will be able to love the other person until he/she follows your good example.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>6. Your dress remains godly </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Let your dressing be modest... for women. Honour your own body and show through appearance that you love the Lord.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: red;">CONCLUSION</span></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon.

There are some crimes and sins for which there is no adequate restitution. In cases where the company has closed down, the person you are holding his books etc has left the city or country and you cannot trace him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In all such cases, genuine effort to restitute should be made, before the matter is rested. Restitution is to be a result of our salvation—it is not a requirement for salvation. We first see restitution in the Old Testament. The concept is discussed in Exodus 21-22, and we also see it fleshed out in Leviticus 6:1-7 and Numbers 5:6-7.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Zacchaeus is a man who practised restitution. In <span style="text-align: center;">Luke 19:1-10, Jesus is visiting Zacchaeus’s home, and the people who know the chief publican to be a wicked and oppressive man are beginning to murmur about His associating with a sinner. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="text-align: center;">Just then, Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"> I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. From the conversation,</span><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"> it is clear that </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Zacchaeus</span><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"> had been guilty of defrauding people. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">However, upon receiving the Lord as Saviour, he was willing to make amends for his past actions and ready to make restitution. Zacchaeus was saved that day and his sin was forgiven, and the evidence of his salvation was both his public confession and readiness to relinquish whatever he had gotten fraudulently. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">From the encounter, we see some important truths about restitution:</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. Restitution follows an encounter with Jesus. It’s the evidence of a repentant heart, after encountering Christ.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. Restitution flows from joy in Jesus, who now knows what is good and bad. A pure and regenerated heart cannot conceal evil.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. Restitution is a sign of genuine repentance. Zacchaeus’ example and Jesus’ response are proofs</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">4. Restitution restores peace of mind to the new believer. God tells us to be at peace with everyone, but that’s hard to do when a previous transaction has contaminated the relationship. Making restitution can go a long way toward restoring peace and unity.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">5.)Restitution helps to ensure you won’t repeat the sin. It could be the first sign some people will hear or see, to know that you are born-again. When you forsake what you took illegally, and return it to its rightful owner, the owner of that item will know that of a truth, the new convert has encountered God.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div><p><b style="color: red; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">CONCLUSION:</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Friends, Jesus is coming soon.
