A glut of opportunities

 Ecclesiastes  11:6 "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good."

Many heresies hold in our world today, and one of such is the infamous saying "opportunities come but once". This is one of the greatest lies ever told in the history of mankind. Opportunities never come but once, however opportunities can be missed, but opportunities don't come but once, opportunities can come at anytime and everytime, in fact opportunities abound, all we have are mostly unprepared people. A prepared person can always create an atmosphere of endless opportunities for himself. Opportunities abound in our world today, all that's required is a prepared mindset to fertilize such opportunities when they arise to birth productivity and greatness. In addition, not all opportunities that look too good to be true are falsehood. For example, we live in a global world where money making opportunities are increasing online, however the fact there are scams doesn't mean all money making opportunities are scams. You could take advantage of one of the online ventures proven to be legit and make some good earnings. The scripture above gives an understanding on taking opportunities when they come, it says sow your seed in the morning and in the evening also it says don't stop, this gives a picture of taking your opportunities and chances and trusting God for a positive outcome. Grace doesn't work in a vacuum. There's always a role of activity to play always. God gives men, but men have a role to take what God gives. Make a most of opportunities this week. Do have a blissful week ahead.😀

Apostle Peter- Running 1

A blend of Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license) about Peter's life and somewhat complex choices and decisions. Sit back, relax, cappuccino and enjoy! And Peter was running again, away from the persecution that had once again broken out against the Church. Jesus had been long gone. He missed Him. He still had nostalgia and goose bumps whenever he remembered just how divine Jesus was. He had seen Jesus do a lot of amazing miracles but none quite like the last one- he and his other folks, some 50 of them watched as Jesus levitated into the heavens until no physical eyes could see him again. He said He was going to heaven and of course that was true- Peter knew now by deep conviction that he'd walked with God Himself. And for some reason he thought himself a friend of God. He knew he was going to see Jesus again sometime soon. There was no debate in his heart about this. He loved Jesus or perhaps God- they were one and the same persons to him now. He

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that way😶😇. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa
